On the way back from shopping, I saw a cloud of unusual shape today.

I helped harvest rice in the rice fields at my grandmother's house. It is held every year with the whole family on Obon. This year, the weather was good and we had a good harvest!

I took a picture of the village of Ochiai in Tokushima Prefecture with soba flowers. It is a typical Japanese scenery that I hope will remain forever.

It is famous for its "卯建" architecture and is also an old town that was once a distribution center for indigo dyeing, and the town of Waki in Mima City, Tokushima Prefecture. One of Japan's three most violent rivers, the Yoshino River, is full of nostalgic and melancholy gushing rivers, which makes you imagine the bustling scene of ancient times.

It is sunrise over Onaruto Bridge in Tokushima Prefecture. Speaking of the Naruto Strait, the whirlpool seen from the top of the bridge is famous, but the Naruto Strait seen from under the bridge is very mysterious because the seawater flows like a river even though it is the sea. When the morning sun shines there, you can see a superb view that is impossible to speak.

The view from Mt. Mei in Tokushima Prefecture The angel ladder was very beautiful and impressive.

Sunrise at Mt. Tsurugi. Tsurugisan Hongu Hozoseki Shrine silhouette.

On a mountain road in the middle of the night, I drove to Ochiai Pass. When I looked up, I saw a starry sky. There were no lights at all, and I was scared by the sounds of animals.

Winter scene of the Yoshino River in Tokushima Prefecture. This is a scene of eel fishing to catch eel fry. The surface of the river is illuminated in green and yellow, and it looks like a jewelry box.

"Crossing the Obo Gorge" Location: Oho Gorge, Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture ＊ "Oho Koho Danger" is a valley of about 8 km long created by the torrent of the Yoshino River that crosses the Shikoku Mountains after 200 million years. Obo Gorge, which boasts a beautiful scenery that looks as if marble sculptures are rising, was designated as a nationally designated natural monument on March 18 2014 (Heisei 26) as a nationally valuable place where you can see the formation of the Japanese archipelago from the beautiful rocks and V-shaped valley that can be seen up close, and on October 7, 2015 (Heisei 27) it was designated as a national place of scenic beauty.

「Nishi Awa Fireworks」 Nishiawa Fireworks National Fireworks Competition Location: Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture, Mino Health and Disaster Prevention Park ＊ The photo was held on October 5 last year, and the Awa fireworks festival. It was the first fireworks competition held in Chugoku and Shikoku and the largest fireworks competition in the western Japan. It is a pity that we could not see the fireworks festival that top-class fireworks artists gathered in Tokushima from all over the Japan, but now we can only hope that the new coronavirus will be brought under control as soon as possible.

This time, I went to Oho in Tokushima Prefecture. The Yoshino River was too beautiful. Relax while drinking soda made with Tokushima's famous sudachi. By the way, JR Shikoku sightseeing train "Shikoku Mannaka Millennium Story" There is also a welcome event for local people when the train arrives at Oboke Station.

I went ❗️ to see Awa Odori I think it was 2017. It was the best festival full of realism because I was able to see it up close! !️
