A trio of illuminated cherry blossoms in Hirosaki Park, cherry blossoms reflected in the West Moat, and scattered cherry blossoms.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that the red bridge and cherry blossoms are a uniquely Japanese collaboration.

Ukiki Shrine ⛩️ in Lake Tazawa, Semboku City, Akita Prefecture In spring, the red Torii (shrine gate), cherry blossoms in full bloom and beautiful lake water shine 🌸⛩️

Lake Tazawa Tatsuko Statue and Morning Sun The statue of Princess Tatsuko becomes a silhouette, and you can enjoy the mysterious scenery at this time of year.

It's a 2-minute drive from my classic photo spot! I like the sunrise and often take pictures in the same place. I'm glad that you show me a different scenery every day #Spring in Japan #Photocon

Cherry blossoms dancing in historical buildings. The spring of the former Hirosaki Kaikosha is a moving scenery.

One of the crowded spots in Hirosaki Park, Shunyo Bridge. There are many people in the arch over the west moat. The scene that everyone is looking at is a spectacular row of illuminated cherry blossom trees.

Hirosaki Castle is famous for cherry blossoms. A heart spot among many attractions. I want to see it again this year!

Cherry blossom petals drifting through the moat while hesitating from lotus flowers.

A flower raft fills a wide moat. There should be a lot of them, but there are still cherry blossom petals on the tree. Spring is just around the corner when you will be impressed by the overwhelming volume.

Hirosaki Castle is famous for its cherry blossoms, but there are also such famous places a little further away. Saishoin Temple is a wonderful place with a five-storied pagoda, drooping cherry blossoms, and Somei Yoshino.

Ogawa Suwa Shrine in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture This photo was taken on April 3, 2018 A large tree of weeping cherry blossoms and a night At a shrine famous for its illumination Because it is on the south side of Fukushima Prefecture Cherry blossoms begin to bloom at the end of March. In the daytime, the vermilion color is vivid and good. At night, it is decorated with bamboo lanterns. It makes the atmosphere very good.

Thirteen years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake This photo was taken on April 3, 2018 It is a row of cherry blossom trees in the night forest of Tomioka Town, Fukushima Prefecture. The Great East Japan Earthquake made it difficult to return home. Decontamination work has progressed, and in this year, Part of the tree-lined area has been opened to the public. At that time, only the opening of short straight roads Surrounding shops and houses are barricaded It was an enclosed ghost town I think I stayed for more than an hour. It's not a time to attract tourism There are almost no people who look like tourists. I only saw a few groups of people who seemed to be locals. I revisited it in March 2021. Tomioka Town became an outpost for reconstruction It's a very lively town. The open area has been greatly expanded. The branches of the cherry blossoms are beautifully selected. It was also prepared to be lit up. Realizing that reconstruction is progressing I remember how happy I was. The Noto Peninsula, where there is no fear of radiation, Reconstruction should be faster Good luck Hokuriku, good luck Tohoku.

At Ani River Park in Kitaakita City, Akita Prefecture. There are many places in Tohoku that are famous for their beautiful cherry blossoms, but there are also magnificent rows of cherry blossom trees here. In a quiet country town surrounded by mountains, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms while listening to the sound of the river flowing. Famous spots are good, but the cherry blossoms seen in a quiet place where there are not many people are also exceptional.

Ashino Koen Station, Goshogawara City, Aomori Prefecture The Tsugaru Railway "Run Meros" runs through the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Akita prefecture is a breathtaking destination that boasts of magnetic wilderness and a perfect climate for growing the most delicious apples you have ever tasted. During my recent visit to the Yokote Kamakura Festival, my eyes were caught by the sight of sugar-coated, bright-red Akita apples that looked incredibly tempting. Without second thoughts, I grabbed one and took a bite. The sweetness was unlike anything I had ever tasted before, and it left me craving for more. It was truly an exhilarating experience!

"The Tree That Saved My Life" This is "Isehama Beach" in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture. On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake caused a massive tsunami, and miraculously, several people climbed this tree and saved their lives, so it is called "the tree that saved lives."

Sunset over the Ou Mountains I wonder if this is the scenery that the Jomon people also saw... The scenery will never change.

It is a hydrangea and torii gate on the approach to Shirawase Shrine in Fukushima City. It is located in a quiet place and is washed by the chirping of birds and the sound of trees.

It is a winter fireworks festival in Fukushima City's Four Seasons Village. The illumination tree and the reflection of the fireworks were very nice.

A lifetime experience. Staying inside an igloo and watching beauty of Japanese architecture is a really lifetime experience. I went to Yokote city in Akita to spent sometime inside an igloo since it was my childhood dream. From the inside of the igloo I was able to the Yokote castle and multiple small igloo which really give me an extra joy. A very unique experience in my life. This year due to the global warming it is very hard to create and maintain the igloos but still the Yokote city people really work hard to maintain it. Not only that the local peoples are very friendly and approach me and talk with me. During their festival they also shared some of their instrument with me and ask me to give a try. Although I could not play it properly but it gave me immense joy and happiness. I wish next year there will be lot snowfall and many people will visit Yokote to enjoy the igloo and communicate with the most friendly people of Japan.

The Tadami Line 🚃 running through Oku-Aizu This is the Tadami Line seen in Okuaizu, Fukushima Prefecture. It only runs early in the morning and during the day, so please be careful 🙇 ♀️ when visiting This year, there is little snow due to the warm winter, but originally it was even heavier and you can 😆 see a snowy landscape

At Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture "Mishima Shrine Festival" Annual local festivals It is a rural festival where the population decline is unstoppable, but only at this time, it is more crowded than Shin lodging Station in the rush to go home It's a Japanese landscape that I don't want to lose

It is the Hanakiri River in Tohoku Town, Kamikita District, Aomori Prefecture. It is a stream that leads to Lake Ogawara and is famous for trout fishing. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom on both banks, and on days when there is no wind, it becomes a water mirror as shown in the photo. According to the neighbors, the swan in the photo seems to be a swan that lives here. They were swimming gracefully as if they were cherry blossom viewing.

It is a beautiful sunrise in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture. The building you can see in the back is a restaurant called "Kofunato". This place was caught in the tsunami during the Great East Japan Earthquake, but miraculously escaped total destruction despite the damage. It's a restaurant that is loved by the locals, and it's a very good place, so I'm really glad it's back.

Lanterns brightly color the precincts. The photo shows "Osaki Hachimangu" in Aoba Ward, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture The shrine hall (main shrine, stone room, worship hall) is designated as a national treasure, and is famous for its naked worship at the "Donto Festival" held on January 14 every year.

This photo was taken at the fireworks festival at the end of July last year Even though I only had a mini tripod at that time, I could only stand and see where I could get it, so I did my best for 10 seconds of hand-held SS (laughs).

Naruko Gorge in Miyagi Prefecture. The autumn foliage season is wonderful, but the snowy scenery is also wonderful. The Rikuu East Line is in danger of being discontinued. May you see this scenery forever.

Early morning in Kitaakita City, Akita Prefecture. It was a cold morning down to -10°C, but thanks to that, the air was very clear. No matter how many times you go, you will be healed by the calm atmosphere unique to the countryside.

In winter, you want to see this scenery. A landscape where global warming is progressing and threatening. Scenery we want to preserve for the future
