The autumn leaves at Okuni Jinja Shrine in Shizuoka Prefecture. The vermilion bridge blends seamlessly into the fall scenery.

This is the great ginkgo at Choraku-ji Temple in the Agi District of Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture. The great ginkgo at Choraku-ji is about 1,100 years old. From roughly 3 meters above ground the trunk splits into four sections, and the thickest part measures about 4 meters around. The tree exceeds 30 meters in height, its entire trunk measures about 9 meters in circumference, and it was designated a Natural Monument of Gifu Prefecture in 1967. The trunk is divided partway into a large, old section and the sections that grew from it. About 250 years ago, when a bridge over the Agi River was washed away, legend says a portion of the trunk was cut off and used for the bridge beams, and the cut surface was reportedly charred with embers to prevent rot. Also, some 450 years ago when Takeda Katsuyori’s forces attacked Iwamura Castle and the Oda army, which had come out to meet them, were routed, Choraku-ji is said to have been burned; scorch marks from that fire still remain. Over its long history, this tree has been carefully tended and protected by the local community. It is so large that its branches spread beyond the temple grounds, making it visible from a distance with a strong presence. The trunk is thick and, when seen up close, the ginkgo is impressively majestic.

The autumn leaves dyed both the trees and the ground red, creating a beautiful scene. Although the park rarely sees many visitors, I photographed how the wooden rest area—seemingly built to warmly welcome the occasional guest—perfectly matched the autumn foliage.

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.

On a warm summer afternoon, people found quiet moments to rest under the sunlight at Shinjuku Gyoen in Tokyo. Some read books, others lay down on the grass, simply enjoying the slow and peaceful rhythm of the day. Watching everyone enjoy their time made me realize how romantic and relaxing Japanese summers can be.

🗻 See 🗻 Diamond Fuji from the rooftop of City Hall The rooftop of the Kamagaya City Office is relatively tall in the city and has a good view, so you can see the Tokyo Skytree along with Mt. Mount Fuji. About twice a year, at the moment when the sun rises from the summit of the Mount Fuji and the moment when the sun sets, you can see a scene as if a diamond is shining, and this phenomenon is called "Diamond Fuji". The spectacle of Mt. Mount Fuji and the sun is truly the art of Nature. Why don't you see the wonderful sight of Mount Fuji and the sunset only at this time of year? ✨ <Best view time> Saturday, November 8 2025 (Reiwa 7) around 4:29 p.m. Although it is a closed day, we will open the rooftop because it has been well received!

Niigata Prefecture Senami Coast "Sunset pouring" Sunset over the Sea of Sea of Japan. It was ✨ a good way to end the first day of the trip I could have left it as it was, but I was climbing a mountain before coming here, and there was an empty bottle of cider that I drank after descending the mountain, so I tried to take a picture with it 📸 As the Sunset sets, light pours into the empty bottle, creating an atmospheric photo 🌅

This is one of the photos when I went to Kamikochi. Maintenance, fascinated by the unspoiled nature on the other side of the road, I pressed the shutter. I deliberately took a dark shot so that I could convey a quiet space.

It's been a month since I first used an SLR. It still takes a lot of 📸 practice

It is a lavender field in Ogawa Town, Saitama Prefecture.

This is one photo taken of the explosion on Inage Coast. The sunset is beautiful, so it will be my favorite shooting Spot, but especially on this day I was able to take a beautiful sunset. I watched the sunset until the sun went down and left it in my memory.

This is a low-angle night view photo taken from the front of Tokyo Tower. I took a long exposure of 20 seconds so that the lights and brake lights of the cars could leave a beautiful afterimage. The lens is Z14-30f/4S. Since it is a wide angle, I was able to see the whole thing even from directly under the tower.

It is a wind chime displayed in a temple in Sayo Town, Hyogo Prefecture. You can feel the coolness from your eyes and ears.

I took a picture of the Light up Diamond Veil of Tokyo Tower from the Tsukiji Bridge. I'm shooting with a telephoto lens in a long second of 20 seconds. The moment when I switched from the regular white orange Light up to this diamond veil color was cool and emotionally beautiful.

This is one of the photos at the 2025 Summer Festival in Ueno Grace Park. Now the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom and the flowers are closed because it is nighttime, but I thought that the buds slightly illuminated by the yagura lighting specially set up for Appreciation were also beautiful. The sleeping lotus leaves and buds are in the foreground, and the Temple in the back is the main subject. Summary it into a summery night view photo.

This is a photo of Tokyo Tower seen from the Tsukiji Bridge. The blue-white Light up bridge and the illuminations of Tokyo Tower are very cool. The bridge shakes quite a bit when big trucks come and go outbound, so aim for the interval when no cars come It was taken with a long exposure. This photo was taken with a wide-angle zoom lens of 30mm, but next time I would like to aim with a little more telephoto.

It is Hitsujiyama Park in Chichibu. It was taken during the Time Slot/Time of Day when there were no people near dusk.

It rained until 3 p.m., and after that, due to the unusual weather of clear weather, the Kintai Bridge was almost uninhabited. The blue sky is so beautiful that if you take a normal shot, the blue sky will stand out more than the Kintai Bridge, so I took a picture with a little filter. I think it made a cool impression.

I couldn't help but smile at the sight of the girls playing happily on the Coast of Inage, who were so cute and blue Spring. This is one of the photos I took remembering my youth. Summary the sandy beach, sea and sky into three parts.

A very large passenger ship was moored at Osanbashi in Yokohama. It seems that many of the passengers were white. Is it a ship from the United States or somewhere? On the hull we could see Celebrity X Cruises and a large logo. Squid, it was a celebrity atmosphere. The blue and white hull is a very summery picture.

When I went to Yokohama, I happened to see a large passenger ship moored in Osanbashi, and I came across it as it was about to sail, so after a while, I saw a big rainbow at Bay Yellowtail, so I took a picture of it. It was a rainbow that looked like it was stuck in the clouds, but when I looked closely, I could see the rainbow of Japan. I think it turned out to be a summery piece.

Hot... I want to get into the sea... I put up with my feelings and clicked the shutter. I wanted to express the heat of summer and the coolness of the sea.

On the way home as usual. When I was tired of the hot weather until the evening, I changed my perspective and saw such a beautiful scenery. It was a moment when I could forget about the heat, and I was happy to see that it seemed to be a "different scenery" because it was made up of "things that are always there" such as buildings, rivers, street trees, and white clover.

Photographed on July 3, 25. Since my errands were over, I relaxed at the Starbucks Iidabashi Sakura Terrace store. Earl Grey Bouquet & Tea Latte and Strawberry Donuts.

Photographed 6/29/25. It is a wind chime at the edge of Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine.
