It is "Mantoukai" in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Every year, Daishoin Temple and Tokoji Temple, the bodhi temples of the Mōri family, the lord of the Hagi clan, are the stage. To mourn Mohri's bodhi, more than 500 stone lanterns are lit by candles, creating a fantastic world. The photo shows the "Welcome Fire" held at Daishoin Temple on August 13. In Ōsho-in, the first feudal lord of Hagi Domain, Mōri Hidenori, and his wife from 2~12 generations of even-numbered feudal lords are enshrined, and in the graveyard, which is a nationally designated historic site, more than 600 stone lanterns donated by feudal lords are lined up in an orderly manner, and at the "Mantoukai", about 600 stone lanterns in the graveyard and candles are lit on the approach road.

It is a festival "Yanai Goldfish Lantern Festival" in Yanai City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

The faintly lit "goldfish lanterns" in the white-walled city are somewhat humorous, and the gentle lights leaking from the "goldfish lanterns" create a fantastic atmosphere.

In 2023, it will be lit from July 22 (Saturday) ~ August 31 (Thursday) from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Retro-dori area from the white-walled streetscape.
Please come to Yamaguchi Prefecture.

The "lights" of the cityscape swaying in the "light" of dawn... One of the hidden gem this time is from Ichishoyama, which is famous for the illumination of the Kobe City Emblem. At dusk, the city emblem and the Ikari mark are lit up on the mountains ... I took a picture of the night view from this very symbolic landmark of Kobe to Kobe and the Osaka Plain. With a vantage point, you can see farther than you can imagine. The night view beyond the photo is the Osaka Plain, and the mountains in the background are the Ikoma Mountains. Beyond the mountains is already Nara Prefecture. I was very surprised that Nara could be seen with the naked eye from Kobe. And the location with a good view also shows various "lights". The night sky, which was pitch black at first, gradually became bluer as the approaching sunrise approached, and then the dawn light appeared as if spilling over the eastern horizon. There was no sound, and the lights of the cityscape, which had not yet awakened from sleep, were twinkling in the cool and pleasant breeze. I like both the mysterious light of nature and this warm light of people. The moment you feel both beautiful, you strongly feel that this world is not "nature and people" but "people in nature". This time, we have delivered 😊 a piece from a special hidden gem where you can enjoy such two "lights" at the same time.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce a post by "HKP". It is a picture that reflects a mysterious charm that is different from the day. Matsumoto Castle, located in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, is an Edo period castle designated as a national treasure of Japan. Previously, it was called Fukashi Castle, but the Ogasawara clan became the castle owner and changed the name to "Matsumoto Castle". Matsumoto Castle, which is also a symbol of Matsumoto City, is full of attractions. The five castle towers are one of the features of Matsumoto Castle. The large castle tower on the 5th and 6th floors is divided into white plaster and black lacquer at the top and bottom of the castle walls, which is a rare structure at that time. In addition, many national treasures and important cultural properties such as coins and armor are on display, and are recommended for those who are interested in the history and culture of Japan. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom in the main maru and garden, and it is also popular with tourists as a famous place for cherry blossoms. You can enjoy about 300 cherry blossoms, and it is a cherry blossom viewing spot visited by many people. In addition, at night, a light-up event "Corridor of Light" is held, so you can fully enjoy the cherry blossoms at night. ◆Matsumoto Castle◆ 【Address】〒390-0873 Nagano Prefecture Matsumoto City Marunouchi 4-1 【Access】Train: Get off at Matsumoto Station on the JR Shinonoi Line and walk for about 20 minutes. 【Parking lot】Available (charged) For more information, please visit the official website.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce aki.06261949's post "Omura Park in Nagasaki". The row of illuminated cherry blossom trees is a fantastic picture. Omura Park, located in Kushima, Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, is a park on the ruins of Kushima Castle (Omura Castle), which has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Historical Parks of Japan". In spring, about 2,000 cherry trees bloom throughout the park, and it has been selected as one of the "100 best cherry blossom spots in the Japan". Starting with Omura cherry, which has been designated as a natural monument, you can enjoy more than 21 varieties of cherry blossoms. It usually blooms in late March ~ early April, but it depends on the climate, so it is recommended to check the flowering status on the Internet. A cherry blossom festival is also scheduled to be held from late March. (Details for 2023 have not yet been announced.) Please check the official website. ) From late May to early June, when the irises are in full bloom, the "Omura Flower Iris Festival" is also held. About 300,000 irises planted in the moat ruins of Kushima Castle bloom and are colored from pale purple to vivid purple. The Iris Festival sells local specialties and holds various events, making it popular with tourists. ◆Omura Park (Kushima Castle Ruins)◆ 【Address】〒856-0834 Nagasaki Prefecture Omura City Kushima 1-43 【Access】 About 10 minutes by bus from JR Omura Station Bus stop: Get off at City Hall and walk 1 minute 【Parking】Available / 134 cars (free) During the flower festival (late March to mid-June), there is a temporary parking lot. ★ The 16th COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest is currently being held under the theme of "Japan sightseeing spots to visit in spring"! ★
