It is a nationally designated important cultural property in the Imperial Palace, the former Edo Castle Outer Sakurada Gate. The outer Sakurada Gate is famous for the "Sakurada Gate Outside Incident" of the assassination of Naoya Ii by the ronin of the Mito clan in 1860. This incident was caused by the suppression carried out by the shogunate, the "Great Prison of Ansei". After the incident, the authority of the shogunate was lost, and the Edo period, which lasted 265 years, came to an end.

This is a photo taken of Hibiya Street from the former Miyagi Wada Kuramon guard house on the Baba Sen moat side of the Imperial Palace Gaien. The former Miyagi Wada Kuramon guardhouse was built in 1923 (Taisho 12). When Tokugawa Ieyasu entered Edo, a bridge was built for the passage of the earthpeople, and a gate was set up. It was called the Kura no Mimon, but later it came to be called the Wada Kuramon.

It is a Japanese antelope that I met when I went to Okutama Town, Tokyo. He gave me a look at the camera, so I took a picture. The Japanese antelope is a herbivorous mammal endemic to Japan that lives in Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, excluding Hokkaido and the Chugoku region. The scientific name is Capricornis crispus, which belongs to the subfamily Goats of the artiodactyl bovine family. Due to overfishing, the number has decreased, and it was designated as a special natural monument of Japan in Showa 30. From the summer of 2022 to the fall of 2023, I went to Okutama about four times, and I was able to meet two of them, so I think there is a good chance that we will meet.

This is the state of the Asakusa Rooster Market at the Eagle Shrine. Asakusa Rooster Market is a festival held every year on Rooster Day in November and is the largest rooster market in Japan. Ravels are sold at the rooster market, but rakes are one of the agricultural tools that are responsible for raking up the fallen harvest. This word "raking" has changed to the meaning of raking up good fortune, and rakes have come to be sold as lucky charms.

I took a picture of Nakamise and Hozomon of Sensoji Temple from the Asakusa Tourist Center. The Asakusa Tourist Center is an 8-story building, and there is a free observatory on the top floor where you can overlook Asakusa. There is also a coffee shop, where you can enjoy the scenery of Asakusa while enjoying soft drinks and alcohol, and there are also snacks, so you can fill your stomach.

I happened to see it on my evening walk, so I took a picture of the crescent moon with the five-storied pagoda of Sensoji Temple, even though it was about two days past the crescent moon.

From Sakurabashi, the cherry blossom festival and houseboats in Sumida Ward took a picture of the Sumida River. The Sumida River is famous for cherry blossoms, and many houseboats come every day at this time of year. A cherry blossom festival is held along the river, and you can enjoy watching the cherry blossoms at the stalls, where drinks such as soft drinks and alcohol, and food such as fried chicken, yakisoba, oden, and frankfurters are sold.

It is the Hozomon gate of the local Sensoji Temple, the five-storied pagoda, and the drooping cherry blossoms taken in the middle of the night. This drooping cherry blossom is famous and hangs from daytime to night, A lot of people come to take pictures and watch. That's why photos without people from this angle are very valuable (laughs). The flowering of the drooping cherry blossoms is a little earlier than that of the Yoshino cherry blossoms. The best time to see it is from the middle of March.

This is the main hall and shrine office of Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, my hometown, taken in the middle of the night. I often see Sensoji Temple, which is crowded with people, It's hard to see Sensoji Temple when there is no one there. It's a privilege to be able to take pictures because it's local (laughs).

This photo was taken from Tower Hall when I was about two months into the camera. I bought it more than 10 years ago and took it with a con digital that I hadn't used at all.

Another ginkgo tree that appears in the morning sun This is the University of Tokyo in Tokyo There is a large ginkgo tree in front of the Faculty of Engineering.

The other day, I visited the Tachikawa Disaster Prevention Center on a field trip. At the Disaster Prevention Center, we had a fire extinguishing experience and a disaster prevention experience using VR. It was freshly renovated, the facilities were clean, and the equipment was the latest in stock, so I was able to learn about disaster prevention while having a lot of fun. A Mongolian student said, "There are many fatal accidents caused by snow in the country, so we should build such a facility." It's very important to be prepared for anything and to gain knowledge!

"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.

A new 100 yen ramen shop has opened on Kuwato Terrace, a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station, where the illumination is very beautiful. On the opening day, it was featured in the news and became a very hot topic. The students are also full of rumors. It's limited to 100 meals a day, so even if you go after school, it's sold out. I'd love to go there someday!

I took a picture of the rest space near the entrance of the bamboo forest park in Higashi-Kurume City, Tokyo. Bamboo Forest Park is a park with a bamboo forest located about a 10-minute walk from Higashi-Kurume Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, and it is a quiet and calm place, and I think it is a place where you can feel the harmony of Japan.
