Fukutoku Shrine is located near Tokyo Station. This is a Power Spot tucked away in a place surrounded by the buildings of a big city. Gari could hear the refreshing colors of summer as I passed by. Many wind chimes brought a moment of coolness.

Summer in Japan is refreshing and soothing. Yes, it is humid, but every season has its pros and cons. The noisy cicadas, green forests, cool breeze, and lots of fun activities make it worth it. During my visit to Okutama this summer, I enjoyed summer water activities. One of the activities I tried for the first time was canyoning, and it was so relaxing and peaceful.

Summer is the festive season. Several festival occurs during the summer time all over the country. This is one is taken from Shinjuku Eisa festival. During the festival time I saw this young, energetic and enthusiastic boy. He was very happy to perform. Despite very hot humid summer he performed delightfully.

Speaking of summer in Tokyo, the Sumida River Fireworks Festival It was the best fireworks festival in the Kanto region in terms of both tradition and formality, and a total of about 20,000 fireworks at the first and second venues lit up the night sky of Tokyo.

Located on the western edge of tokyo​, okutama​ offers a striking contrast to the urban landscape.

Matsumoto Castle, one of Japan's oldest castles, is famous for its unique black exterior. Located in Matsumoto City for over 400 years, it houses a remarkable collection of weapons and armor from the Warring States Period. Despite never witnessing battle, it's a must-visit in Nagano Prefecture, especially during twilight hours for a peaceful experience. The sight of swans on the moat against the castle and the blueish-purple horizon is unforgettable.

Oshi Castle, located in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture, has a rich history dating back to the late 15th century. Despite facing numerous attacks, this formidable castle never succumbed. While the original structure no longer stands, visitors can still witness the earthen foundation of the main castle, the towering stone walls, the Korai Gate, and other fascinating ruins. The reconstructed "Three-storied Tower" from the Edo Period now houses captivating exhibits, offering visitors a glimpse into the past. Ascend to the observation room on the highest floor for a breathtaking view of Gyoda City. My visit at twilight revealed an eerily silent and empty atmosphere, evoking the enchanting aura of this ancient site.

It is a tea house in Suwa in the Tomi Garden of the Imperial Palace. Anyone can enter the Tomi Garden for free, and some of them are the ruins of the castle tower of Edo Castle. Suwa no Chaya is a Japanese house located in Ninomaru Garden. Why don't you take a stroll?

It is the Imperial Palace Fushimi Tower. Cross the double-bridge Megane Bridge, turn around and cross the iron bridge, and you will see it on your left. It is one of the buildings that made up Edo Castle. Normally you can't see it, This photo was taken when I entered the castle as a general visitor.

It is the Marunouchi station building of Tokyo Station that everyone knows. It is a symbol of the history of Japan's railways. After completion in 1914, it was partially destroyed during the Pacific War, and restoration work was completed in 2012. I think the spirit of trying to restore historical buildings to their original state is cool Japan.

Cherry blossoms on the approach to Makari Shrine. And farmers during the busy season? Cycling with my daughter every year! Pray to God for safety!

The Fujimi Tower of the Imperial Palace and the buildings of Marunouchi show the contrast between the historic Edo period architecture and modern architecture.

The Edo Castle, once the largest fortress, was transformed into the imperial residence Kōkyo after the shogunate fell and the emperor moved to Tokyo. The castle was significantly damaged by fires in 1873 and again during WWII air raids. The moats and stone walls visible around the palace grounds are remnants of the original castle. This location is a popular spot for tourists from all over the world. I captured this photo of the palace during a snowy twilight, when there were very few tourists around. They were struck by the rare beauty of the palace during the snowfall and found it especially captivating to see a lone woman enjoying the serene scene.
