"Kobe, rediscovered" Today, the eighth stage of the series, we will deliver the view from the Kikuseidai of Mt. Maya. In the vicinity of the previous "Kobe Sakura Tunnel", which climbed uphill, there is a Maya Cable station. This cable car and the Maya ropeway further up are called the Maya View Line, and you can reach the top of Mt. Maya by connecting the two. There is an observatory called Kuseidai (本星台), and below you can see a 10 million dollar night view from downtown Kobe to Osaka Bay and the city of Osaka on the opposite bank. The word "scooping up the stars" means "scooping up the stars," and the name comes from the fact that the countless lights of the night view are likened to stars, and you can look down at the stars that you can scoop with your hands. This photo was taken just before dawn, when the eastern sky was beginning to be tinted with sunrise, and I tried to scoop up the stars that fell from the night sky to the ground, but instead I was buried in the stars. The summit is about 700m above sea level and there is a temperature difference from the city, and the air is very fresh! !! On this day, I climbed the driveway, and it seems that you can ride the Maya View Line with a bicycle using a bicycle bag. You can also rent an electric assist bicycle at the top, and you can go to Rokko Ranch.

Kobe Sannomiya Ferry Terminal. You can go to Miyazaki from here, and the view from the observation deck is very nice.

It was lit up at night at Meriken Park in Kobe, and it was ? very beautiful with various lights coming on, disappearing, and changing color. There was a white screen along the way, and there was a beautiful spot where you could shine light and reflect your shadow! (Can you see it?) There was a bar with a vinyl curtain in the back. I was a little disappointed for a minor who was intrigued and approached by what the store in the back was w

I took a night view of UMIE MOSAIC and the Ferris wheel in Harborland, Kobe! Did the light of the night view reflect off the water and take it beautifully? There are many shops where you can enjoy shopping and dining, and it is a place where you will not get bored even if you stay for a long time. There was also an Anpanman Children's Museum nearby, and there were ? many families with cute children.

The houses lined up by the sea look as if they are floating on the sea. The first floor housed boats, and the second floor was used as a drying area for nets and fishing gear. I was finally able to go to Ine's boathouse. I enjoyed the slow flow of time in a room without a TV and this view.

I went to Yuigahama Beach in Kanagawa Prefecture to take pictures with a friend who likes film cameras. It was just about the time the sun went down and it was reflected on the surface of the water, and it was very beautiful.

This is a photo taken when I went on a trip to Fukuoka. When I was walking along the coast of Itoshima, there was a tree that would not break even if a person rode on it. The student who came in matching clothes was very cute, and I just took a picture.

This is Osaka's Namihaya Ohashi Bridge and Osaka's solid stomping slope. Speaking of solid stomping, there is an image of Tottori, but there is also a bridge in Osaka that is worth climbing. There is also a pedestrian walkway where you can see the beautiful night view. I wanted to introduce it as a solid stepping slope that will be talked about next to the Eshima Bridge.

Located in Yao City, Osaka Prefecture, is the daffodil of Tamaso Shrine. Local people started planting it as volunteers. Plum trees are also planted, and it is a wonderful place where you can relax and heal in the chilly season.

Today, in the series "Kobe, Rediscovered", we will deliver the "Cherry Blossom Tunnel" in Nada Ward, a famous place for cherry blossoms, as the seventh stage. The weather has finally passed spring, and the cherry blossom season is approaching again this year. This famous spot in Takao-dori, Nada-ku, Kobe City, is a slope of about 400 meters from north to south, and 70 old Yoshino cherry trees are planted on both sides of the road. This row of cherry blossom trees was planted in the Taisho era at the same time as the opening of the Maya Cable. The appearance is shaped like branches and leaves on both sides covering the road like a tunnel, so I think you can comfortably enjoy the cherry blossom trees if you walk through it leisurely. The photo was taken on April 2 of last year, when it was in full bloom. The petals in the foreground are dyed red by traffic lights (photographing the cherry blossoms at night before dawn) Please note that during the flowering season, there are a little more people passing by, and this is a road that city buses also pass through. At the top of the hill is the Maya Cable station. You can go to the top of Mt. Maya by cable car, so next time I would like to deliver the night view from the Kikuseidai.

Here one can walk in the middle of frozen lake.

My first trip since my daughter was born! It was a beautiful sea (*^^*)

Todaiji Temple I visited Nara Park on a family trip. It was my first time to go during the cherry blossom season and I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The collaboration between Nara's wonderful cherry blossoms and deer, which are said to be messengers of the gods, is sacred and seems to reflect the four seasons of Japan even more wonderfully. Nara Park and Todaiji Temple, which show various expressions in each season, are really recommended sightseeing spots.
