On a clear, cold winter day, our family enjoyed flying kites in a park with a great view of Mount Fuji.

From Hakuba Mountain Harbor, you can see breathtaking views of the Northern Alps on clear days. The first time I saw them, I was so captivated by the scenery that I lost myself for a while.

The other day the weather was nice, so I went to the Avenue of white birch trees. The contrast of the blue sky, the snow, and the white birches is beautiful, isn’t it! You can enjoy the beauty of the Avenue of white birch trees in every season, so do visit and see for yourself 😊

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

I will never forget the shock of seeing the scenery of Kamikochi live even now It's a memory that will last a lifetime.

Photographed at the Flower Culture Garden. I was fascinated by the contrast between the yellow of the sunflower and the green of the praying mantis. Two shots of insects and flowers that have become difficult to see in modern times. I envy you when you think that it used to be full of such scenes.

I took a picture of my son at the Himawari venue in Zama, Kanagawa Prefecture.

When daylily blooms around Lake Notari, you realize that summer has arrived.

This photo was taken on the riverbed of Kiyosu Castle in Aichi Prefecture. It is a co-performance of castles, cherry blossoms, and Disney bullet trains.

This is a landscape photo taken when I visited Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture. I thought the beauty of Lake Biwa peeking through the trees on a sunny day was the coolest, so I posted it for people who like landscape photography to see. Best regards. I'm not familiar with hashtags, so I'll add them as soon as I 😂 can

Seen from the Coast of Toyama Prefecture, it is the island and the snow-covered Tateyama mountain ranges that spread out in the background. It is a beautiful scenery created by the clear winter air.

The Mountain Name 🏔 Omachi City has enjoyed several sunny days recently, and daytime temperatures have been relatively warm for this season☀️ The mountains look striking against the blue sky🏔 The mountain range visible from Omachi City is officially the Hida Mountains, commonly called the Northern Alps. From the Toyama Prefecture side it lies behind the Tateyama Range, so it is also referred to as the Ushered Tateyama Range (Ushiro-Tateyama Range)😌 Personally, it seems that the informal name "Northern Alps" has gained popular acceptance among residents on the Omachi side😊 ⭐️Official website "Shinano Omachi Navi"⭐️ https://kanko-omachi.gr.jp//

A cold morning so chilly even the Takase River froze ☀️ This morning Omachi City woke to a bitter cold that neared double-digit negatives ❄️ A thin layer of ice lined the banks of the Takase River 🧊 The Northern Alps, once hidden by clouds, gradually came into view 🏔 The sky cleared to blue, making it a perfect day for winter fun like skiing, snowboarding, and sledding ⛷🏂🛷 Omachi City activities are below 🔽🔽🔽 https://kanko-omachi.gr.jp/spot/spot_cat/cat02/...

This is a photo of Monet's pond in Itatori, Gifu Prefecture Autumn leaves were still a little bit, but I took a picture of maple and carp together.

It is Ozegahara dyed in autumn colors. The balance between Mt. Hirigatake, the golden marshland, and the pond in the foreground was exquisite, and the scenery was truly beautiful.

I went to Nanhu Park in Shirakawa City! It's a very nice weather and a nice day for a walk ☀️. I have 😊 been enjoying a leisurely holiday by taking a walk around the lake with my dog (Chihuahua) The sky and sun reflected on the surface of the lake are very beautiful, and I butterfly flower on the spot and snap 📷 with my smartphone I was able to take such a miraculous one! ✨️ It was the moment when the dragonfly that was perched on the grass below took off I had 🐕🐾 a wonderful autumn memory with my dog.

Ferris Car and Sunflowers in Kasai Rinkai Park It was a hot day, but we were blessed with blue skies and white clouds. I was able to capture a summer day.

Bathing in the sea with children and adults! Everyone was having fun!

Roux Impulse soaring in the summer sky was cool.

Penglai Bridge It is said to be the world's most "Nagaiki Bridge" It's a combination of "long life" and "long trees"

It is my wife and son in the sunflower field that I go to every summer.

"Sawajiri's Terraced Rice Fields" in Marumori Towns, Miyagi Prefecture Masonry, which is rare in Tohoku, is a historic terraced rice field that was developed from the Edo period to the Showa period. It has been selected as one of the "100 Best Terraced Rice Fields in Japan" and was certified as a "Tsunagu Terraced Rice Heritage" by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in the 4th year of Reiwa. I hope that we will always be able to see the original scenery of Japan, which has such a long history.

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!

Nagikama Shrine⛩ The other day I visited Nagikama Shrine on Kirigamine for the first time. Last year I heard about Nagikama Shrine, which had replaced its wooden torii with a stone monument, and I had planned to visit after the snow melted. A passing comment from my wife, who loves Kirigamine, finally prompted us to go. As someone who loves the Onbashira festival, I’ve grown fond of visiting shrines, and I had long wanted to see Nagikama Shrine, so I took my camera and headed for Kirigamine at last. We parked in the lot below the ski area and followed directions toward the Glider Museum, but unsure of the way and hesitating, I spotted a small sign in front of the museum reading Nagikama Shrine 0.5 km and followed it. It felt a bit farther than expected. Together with my wife and our two children, we walked for several minutes, enjoying Kirigamine’s nature, until we saw the stone monument marking Nagikama Shrine. As a shrine, a torii would feel more fitting, but the stone monument had its own charm. The approach was neatly covered with wood chips, making for a very pleasant walk. When we reached the small shrine, the view took my breath away. It was a scene that excited me like I hadn’t felt in a long time. The clear weather that day only amplified the spectacle. Below stretched the Suwa Basin, the serene Lake Suwa sat beautifully, the Central Alps rose ahead, the Northern Alps to the right, the Southern Alps to the left with sacred Mt. Fuji beside them, and Yatsugatake behind to the left. A shrine that offers a view of so many mountains at once may be rare in Japan, I thought.🏔 As a self‑declared Seeker of Suwa’s Best Views, this vista immediately made my list of top spots. Tateishi Park offers a sweeping view of the Suwa plain and is very scenic, but Nagikama sits at a higher elevation and has an indescribable beauty. I felt it would be a shame to keep this to myself, so I’m sharing it here. The shrine’s goshuin (stamp) is newly available, so anyone touring Suwa’s shrines or visiting Kirigamine should definitely stop by. If the weather is clear, you won’t regret it! ・Enshrined deities: Takeminakata no Okami, also known as Osuwa‑sama: god of martial valor and abundant harvests ・Oyamatsumi no Okami: god of industry and maritime affairs, and further revered as the ancestral deity of sake brewing ・Ashinazuchi no Okami and Tenazuchi no Okami ⇐ Kushinadahime: parents of Kushinadahime, wife of Susanoo no Mikoto A nagikama (a sacred implement shaped like a sickle) discovered at the ruins of the former Misayama is dedicated here. After the main pillars for the Onbashira are selected, the nagikama is hammered onto those pillars. Curiously, this practice occurs only on the Onbashira of Suwa Taisha Upper Shrine. The nagikama has a shape resembling a rooster’s head and is considered one of Suwa Taisha’s sacred treasures. The nagikama is enshrined inside the hokora, so please take a look along with the spectacular view. Suwa Taisha also offers nagikama amulets♪

The Great Torii shrine gate gate of Itsukushima Shrine The Great Torii shrine gate, which can be said to be the symbol of Itsukushima Shrine, was built in 1168 Nian 3 with the assistance of Taira Kiyomori, famous for "The Tale of the Heike".
