Crimson Clover in Katsurao Village, Fukushima Prefecture After the temporary evacuation was lifted due to the nuclear accident, cultivation began as a green manure to improve the soil of the deteriorated farmland. By incorporating Crimson Clover into the soil as green manure, it is said that the fertility of the farmland is restored. A photo of the entire field in bright red gradually spread on social media, and this initiative started to gain media attention. Tokyo Camera Club and Katsurao Village collaborated to establish photo spots (three locations) with the help of Michi-no-Eki Sera, aiming to boost tourism. If you take photos at the three locations and show them at Katsurao Village Reconstruction Exchange Hall Azalea, you will receive seeds of Crimson Clover. It is a symbol of the reconstruction of Katsurao Village. This year's photo spots were available until the 24th, but be sure to visit next year. The planting locations change every year, so it's convenient to check at Katsurao Village Reconstruction Exchange Hall Azalea before going. I participated in the photo tour organized by Tokyo Camera Club this time. It was held with the full cooperation of Katsurao Village, and I was moved by the warmth of the villagers. Please be sure to visit Katsurao Village.

Urabandai in Fukushima is one of my most favorite autumn destination.

The autumn in Urabandai, Fukushima is amazing. I took this photo during a figgy day near lake Hibara. The small island inside the lake also full of autum colors which makes the frame more beautiful. Mist, autumn colors and lake, these are all what i can even imagined. It was so exciting and eye-shoothing. After thus trip I was really refreshed and energized again.

Amidst the gentle rain, the silhouette of a majestic mountain looms over the serene Lake Hibara, creating a breathtaking backdrop. As I sit by the lake’s edge, the tranquil atmosphere envelops me, turning this moment into something truly unforgettable. The tiny islands in the distance adds a touch of magic, making the scene feel like a painting come to life.

I visited the famed Toohoku peak MtAdatara (1,700 m). From the Okudake Trailhead I took the ropeway to the Summit Station, passed MtYakushi (1,322 m), and reached the summit of MtAdatara. I was moved by the stark volcanic landscape of the explosion crater (Numanodaira Crater), then continued to Mount Yahazu (1,673 m) and enjoyed autumn colors painting the slopes of MtTetsu (1,709 m).

Since it change color from green to yellow and red the whole atmosphere change. This changing nature also teach us a deep lesson which tells us of restart from the begging if required. And for that don't be upset and do it proudly. This vibrant colorful leaves also tells us "leaves are falling, autumn is calling"

The autumn beauty of urabandai, Fukushima. The vibrant color surrounding the pond is so amazing. The reflection makes photo more beautiful. It's from goshikinuma pond.

Goshikinuma ponds, often dubbed the “mysterious lake,” promise to be an great experience with their captivating colors—emerald green, cobalt blue, turquoise blue, emerald blue, and pastel blue. Goshikinuma meaning "five color ponds," is somewhat misleading. The area features far more than five ponds, each likely to reveal an even broader array of spectacular colors. During fall time the ponds look more heavenly and peaceful.

I went to Nanhu Park in Shirakawa City! It's a very nice weather and a nice day for a walk ☀️.

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.
