[Deliver to Santa! ] 】 This is an illuminated scenery at a roadside station in Kawamata Town, Fukushima Prefecture! !! A Christmas tree decorated with Kawamata Town's specialty anthurium is lit up! The little child was talking to his mother, "I wonder if Santa will come to my house!" and I was healed!

Was shopping the other day in Nihonbashi and saw this akabeko and thought it was really cute so I decided to take a photo of it. The name was quite funny to me as well. Instead of the usual "akabeko" this was a "nemubeko," or "tired-beko" basically, and you can see how the eyes are actually half way shut instead of the normally wide-open eyes, giving it the tired look lol. I've always wanted to try an akabeko experience as I love traditional Japanese crafts and akabeko in particular seem really fun to make. I've read a few posts in another places of people trying akabeko workshops and having a really fun time. I haven't used papier mache since I was a kid either so it'd probably be a nostalgic experience for sure. If I do try an akabeko workshop, I think I'll make a "nemubeko" as well lol

Oguninuma in Fukushima Prefecture Shot from Kanazawa Pass LAOWA 15mm flare is interesting

Kitashiobara The autumn morning sun shone on the countryside as the sea of clouds began to clear and created a divine atmosphere.

This is the autumn leaves of Fudosawa Bridge seen from Tsubakuro Valley in Fukushima Prefecture. The autumn leaves were in full bloom, so I was very impressed to see the wonderful scenery.

Umbrella Sky at Inawashiro Herb Garden in Fukushima Prefecture! The reflection of the umbrella suspended on the ceiling is ☂️ the best It is adorably decorated with many umbrellas, and it will be ✨ fun during the rainy season.

What an amazing tree! It makes sense that it's called the "Waterfall Cherry." I can totally see the resemblance in how the cherry blossoms hang down like that. Interesting that there's actually a "Three Great Cherry Blossoms Trees of Japan." I'd really love to go see this and Usuzumizakura in Gifu and Jindaizakura in Yamanashi. It's incredible to think that even after more than 1,000 years this cherry tree is still standing and is just like a fine wine in that it gets even better with age. There's so much beautiful natural scenery in Japan to see. I wonder what the sky is like here at night. I bet you can probably see a lot of stars from here

Takizakura in Miharu Town, Fukushima Prefecture, is one of the three major cherry blossoms in Japan. It is the first famous cherry tree to be designated as a national natural monument. It is an old tree with red branches and drooping cherry trees that are said to be over 1,000 years old, but when it bloomed in full bloom, it looked like a waterfall flowing down in layers. On the day I visited, the locals said that the conditions were the best, and the blue sky, vivid rape blossom colors, and cherry blossoms in full bloom made me enjoy the spring splendour. It is said that he said, "To the capital, I can hear the sound, takizakura, invite iroka, and the spring breeze of flowers."

It is Tsuruga Castle in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture I took a picture of the scenery when I looked up.

I took a picture of the back of my parents' dog warming up by the stove with a Polaroid camera. It seems to be cold, and in winter it is always in front of the stove or in the flame. I like the stove, which I don't often see in the city, and has a sense of home.

Ahhhh! I've got to see Soma Nomaoi. It looks cooler and cooler the more I hear about it. Sending signals with a conch is super cool. It sounds like something that you'd hear about in a myth or folklore, but the fact that this was actually used is really interesting. A bit of a tangent, but it's awesome seeing all of the different helmet styles used in Japan. It's not exactly something unique to Japan, but Japan definitely has some of the coolest looking styles. This one kind of reminds me of traditional Japanese lacquerware and I like how it's very sleek and practical. Hopefully I'll be able to check this out this year. I want to visit Fukushima anyways so it'd be great if I could get it all to line up!

Awesome photo. I've heard of Soma-Nomaoi before. I really want to check it out actually and see all the horse races and stuff. I guess they do drills that were used by the military back in the day which would be really cool to watch as well. I'm a huge fan of horseback archery and archery in general so if they have that that'd be awesome as well. I didn't know there were portable shrines as well. I'd have to read up more on the festival but it definitely looks interesting. I have a friend over in Fukushima Prefecture so if I could get out there and meet them when this is happening it'd be awesome. Hopefully corona has settled down by July, but if not then I guess there's always next year. I'll have to eat some tasty festival food somewhere else I guess 😂

I love the reflection the bridge and surrounding treeline makes on the surface of the river in this photo. Really beautiful stuff. I'd like to visit Aizu-Wakamatsu because I've heard that Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle is awesome and also the local sake in the area is supposed to be really good as well. I'm not too familiar with the area but I know Aizu-Wakamatsu is surrounded by mountains and that Mt. Bandai is over there. Maybe that's it in the background? I'm not too sure, but whatever the case may be it's a really breathtaking photo. Japan's snowscapes really are a gift that keeps on giving. Especially this year there's a ton of beautiful landscapes like this and getting to see them posted everywhere is really great. Everyone has such amazing photos it makes me want to try my hand at photography 😂. Maybe someday, we'll see lol

God the snowscapes of Japan just get better and better. I keep hearing and reading about Ouchi-Juku all over the place and it's really got me itching to visit. I really love these old post stations and their historic feel. The buildings are really rustic and just looking at them makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. I really love the thatched roofs as well. I can imagine enjoying some delicious soup and tea next to an irori and just letting all life's troubles be whisked away. Top it if with some hot springs and I can't even imagine a better way to relax. Apparently there's the hot spring Yunokami onsen about 15 minutes from Ouchi-Juku but I guess there's also a footbath in Ouchi-Juku itself as well? Or maybe it's in the same area as Yonokami Onsen, I'm not 100% sure on that. Hopefully it's heated either way 😂

It is Tatsusawa Fudo Falls in Fukushima Prefecture. It is famous for its spots where you can take pictures of autumn leaves and waterfalls in autumn, but the snow and waterfall in winter were also beautiful.

What you can see in the back is the village of Oshi in Kanayama Town, Fukushima Prefecture. I took this photo with a train running next to the Tadami River. The greenery is beautiful in the snowless season, so I would like to go there again.

This is Ouchi-juku, Fukushima Prefecture!

Shimogo Town in the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture is a popular spot where the image of good old Japan remains intact. In Shimogo Town, the traditions left by the Aizu clan members who lived through turbulent times have been passed 🧐 down to the present day. The "tower heading", which is said to be a miraculous scenery created by the Agagawa River, is a ✨ sightseeing spot that cannot be missed when sightseeing in Aizu, which is sure to be Instagrammable. In the video Japan local gourmet dishes such as "Shingoro", which is a skewer grilled using rice from Fukushima Prefecture, one of the leading rice places, soba noodles, and local sake, is also introduced 🍶. Today, online GoTo travel 🚙💨 to "Shimogo Town" where the beautiful scenery of the Japan remains
