The other day (around mid-April), I photographed the flowers of the otome camellia (otome tsubaki) in the Mt. Rokko of Kobe. This Mt. Rokko area has been designated as the Setonaikai National Park and has been a suitable place for recreation and summer retreat since the Meiji era. Mountain villas and recreation centers have been built here and there in the mountains, and there are sightseeing spots such as Rokko Ranch, which is inspired by a mountain ranch in Switzerland, and Arima Onsen, which is counted as one of the three famous springs of pillow grass. The mountains opened by foreigners in the Kobe Settlement have many katakana names such as Cascade Valley (a valley of many small waterfalls) and Twenty Cross (20 mountain trails), recalling the history of foreigners opening the mountain. By the way, this time the otome camellia was taken at the place of the Japanese name, Otter Pond in Viper Valley. Aside from the Mt. Rokko area where many names from the Edo period remain, such as the Shojo Pond introduced here last year, Otter Pond is ... I wonder if the pond used to be full of otters, and I still look around for signs. The camellia blooming season is almost over, but now the azalea flowers are brightly colored all over the driveway. Animals and plants are rich in nature, Mt. Rokko how about 😊 hiking?

Fushimi Jugokufune 🌸 in Kyoto This is a place 😊✨ that I really like every year and never get tired of it.

It is 🌸 a Tsubosaka-dera Temple in Nara Prefecture When it rains, it gets hazy and cool, so I dared to go on 🚗 a rainy day³₃

Osaka Castle Park.Kaiyodo Model Museum.

Osaka・Kaiyukan magnificent jellyfish. The graceful gesture of swimming slowly makes you almost forget the existence of time.

Fushimi Jugokufune Although it is called a cherry blossom tunnel, the surface of the river is also dyed cherry blossom color. It is a pleasure only for the moment when the cherry blossoms in full bloom are coming to an end.

Nachi falls is a world heritage site. It looks very beautiful all year round but spring might be best time to visit this place. A picture perfect combination of waterfall, shrine and cheery blossom will amuse you.

Kumono kodo is s Worlds Heritage Site... Near nachifalls many small and large shrines can be seen. I don’t know the name of the this shrine but it was a small yet scenic

I want to visit Ako Misaki in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture. Before summer, the coast is calm and the sea water is beautiful. On a sunny day, the Harima Sea is sparkling. There are few visitors, and when I sit on the quiet sand and listen to the sound of the waves, the unpleasant things in my heart disappear.

Mii-dera Temple, famous for its Brahma bell, which is said to have been scratched by Musashibo Benkei dragging it to Mt. Hiei, and Lake Biwa Canal, which is connected to Kyoto by a tunnel, are dyed with cherry blossoms in spring. If you walk along the watershed from the Keihan train station, you can reach Miidera in 10 minutes.

The sunset in Osaka Bay is beautiful. At the southern end of Tempozan Harbor Village, beyond this is Osaka Bay. It is a popular spot for people who come to see the sunset over Osaka Bay.

It's like a tropical landscape. This is the view from Kobe Airport Island West Ryokuchi. This is a pond built for the purpose of protecting and recuperating sea turtles caught in fish nets. Swimming, fishing, fireworks, and barbecues are prohibited. Watch the planes taking off and landing at Kobe Airport and the sunset, It is a recommended place for those who want to spend a relaxing time.

It is the Goshikizuka Kofun in Kobe. It is the largest anterior and posterior burial mound in Hyogo Prefecture. You can climb to the top of the burial mound, and from there you can see Awaji Island and the Akashi Strait. It is a superb view.

It is Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine in Wakayama. I visited in the moon of light rain, and the forest behind the large shrine was hazy and majestic and beautiful.

My today's recommendation: Kurashiki in Okayama Prefecture. Historical canal town kurashiki . Kurashiki Bikan historical area is also known as "town of storehouses" and many of the storehouses are converted into a restaurant/ cafe or museum. Here you can enjoy canal boat riding to feel the old days charm.

Omi Jingu Shrine in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture became a snowy landscape during the big cold wave The red gate was beautiful. Date 2023.01.25

Kyoto Toji Temple They went in search of snow that might or may not fall in the middle of the night and waved it, so I was able to shoot!

Located on Kobe Rokko Island, the Kobe Fashion Museum is a wonderful fashion-themed museum. It looks unique and resembles the USS Enterprise. The sunset scenery seen from here is very fantastic.

The autumn leaves of Rurikoin Temple in Kyoto Yase are recommended. Located at the foot of Mt. Hiei, a quiet place in Rakuhoku, you can enjoy the vivid autumn leaves in the depths.

"Kobe, rediscovered" Today, the third stage of the series, a locomotive "stopped" in the city ... It is a D51 popularly known as Degoichi. This locomotive, which was active in Hokkaido until 1975 (Showa 50), is parked along the JR Kobe Station line (closer to Osaka) due to the wishes of volunteers. The photo was taken this year, but there is an "infinite" plate inside the illumination! !! It is said that this is exactly named after the demon exorcism of Setsubun. It seems that the light up is automatically lit by the light sensor, and when it starts to get dark to some extent, you can see the fantastic infinite locomotive. Everyone was taking pictures on this day as well. There are many people in this area as well, but if you listen to your heart, you may hear the whistle of the night train departing at 17:31:65.

Fantastic Kinosaki Onsen at your favorite Kinosaki Onsen It's difficult to know when it snows, but I even soaked in the snow and released the shutter. After this, your cold body is also warm ♨️☀️😌 in the hot spring.

Illumination of Namba Parks, Osaka The scale is small, but the illumination here was 😌 the most beautiful.
