I was impressed by Himeji Castle, a World Heritage Site, and the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

It is a World Heritage Site, but it is lit up three times a year. The other day, there was a winter illumination event, so I went there. This time, I made a reservation half a year ago, so I was able to stay lodging in a 200-year-old gassho-zukuri minshuku, and thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy the nostalgic original scenery of Japan. In addition to the illumination at night, the quiet early morning walk, which is only possible for those who stayed at the lodging, was exceptional.

Hashima Island, located off the coast of Kyushu Nagasaki, is a coal mining facility that is now in ruins, called Gunkanjima because of its shape. It can be reached by boat in 40 minutes from Nagasaki Port, so you can go ashore on a tour, but from the coastline of the Nomozaki area in the southern part of Nagasaki City, you can see Gunkanjima from land. This view is also a view that I would like to keep forever, but it may not be possible to see it in a few years due to the progress of decay.

World Heritage Site Nakijin Castle Ruins Wall Illumination / Nakijin Gusuku Cherry Blossom Festival / Nakijin Castle Ruins, a World Heritage Site located in Nakijin Village in northern Okinawa Prefecture Japan's earliest cherry blossom festival started here in the northern part of the country. I went to see the beautiful cherry blossoms at night and the fantastic illumination of the castle walls, but the cherry blossoms were still in bloom for 3~5 minutes. The cherry blossoms in Okinawa are called Kanhizakura and are dark pink. It usually blooms in mid-January ~ early February. I didn't get a shot of the cherry blossoms and the city walls, but I hope to be able to introduce them next time when the cherry blossom front moves south to the south.

『Link More HIMEJI』 2023.11.30 pm9:03 Taken in front of Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. I saw the light-up show of the commercial facility "Piore Himeji" in front of Himeji Station. The illumination on the wall vividly colors the city at night. The square in front of the castle is also lit up as a project to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Himeji Castle World Heritage Site, and the illumination imitating matches, which is a local industry in Himeji, is shining. Sightseeing in Himeji at night is hot!

Mt. Fuji and the constellation Orion. The lights of the campsite and the Pleiades star cluster, which is called "Subaru", are in front of you. This day was 😊 the maximum day of the meteor shower

"Mt. Fuji envelops and watches over Tokyo" I was very impressed by the feeling that Mt. Fuji, one of the symbols of Japan, is watching over the people living in Tokyo while majestically enveloping Tokyo, the capital of Japan, where countless buildings are crowded. This photo was taken from a plane heading from Tokyo to Hokkaido on New Year's Day.

Ancient procession (Ryukyu Dynasty Festival Shuri) in front of Shureimon / This is a scene of an ancient procession at the "Ryukyu Dynasty Festival Shuri", one of the three major festivals in Naha City held on Culture Day in Shuri, the birthplace of Ryukyu culture. It is a reproduction of the procession of the King of the Ryukyu Kingdom visiting three temples under Shuri Castle to pray for the well-being of the country. It is as if you have traveled back in time to the Ryukyu Dynasty, and you will parade under Shuri Castle from the Shuri Castle Main Hall through the Shureimon Gate. I play an instrument called "cow bra". It has a bass like a tuba, and then a high note like a trumpet with an instrument called a "horse bra".

The Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple in Nara is one of the three great Buddhas in Japan. The Great Buddha, cast in bronze, is solemn and magnificent. When you enter the tour, a solemn heart is born. This is a must-see spot when visiting the ancient capital of Nara, and it is full of tourists. It is also a popular choice for high school students in Japan. At this time of turmoil in the world, pray that the Great Buddha will shelter life and all well-being.

Mt. Fuji seen from the summit of Mt. Takao is also quite good 🗻.
