Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture National Treasure: Night cherry blossoms at Hikone Castle I hope that the day will come when everyone can go wherever they want at their favorite time without anxiety or worry.

This photo was taken on November 9, 2019. Asago City, Hyogo Prefecture Takeda Castle Ruins I started climbing the mountain after 3 a.m. and I still remember stunching from the summit before sunrise to take pictures. It is a masterpiece. I bought a new camera and it is one of the places I want to go again.

The night feast of the Nagara River flowing along Gifu Castle, where Oda Nobunaga departed from Tenkafubu. This dance boat serves as a prelude to the start of the Gifu Nagara River Ukai, and performs the Noryo dance on weekends from summer to autumn. Last year, unfortunately, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, dancers wore face shields. I want the Coronavirus pandemic to end as soon as possible and return to the summer bustle of the Nagara River.

Take a road trip from Kanto to Kansai... When I went to Osaka Castle, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

It is Himeji Castle in the early morning. I was impressed by the beauty of the moat. The photo spot of the Japanese ship was taught to us by a local grandfather during the shooting. I am grateful.

In Tatebayashi City, azaleas are 📸 in full bloom. Every year, it is 📸✨✨ very beautiful

It is Tsuruga Castle in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture I took a picture of the scenery when I looked up.

I took portraits at Inuyama Castle in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture. We decided to collaborate with kimono at the torii gate of Harizuna Shrine! The red Japanese umbrella shines!

Osaka Castle Park From the entrance near Morinomiya Station I went 🌸 to the edge of the cherry blossoms There were many cherry blossoms blooming in the back, but this angle is ⭐️ my favorite.

Awesome! The cherry blossoms here are so bountiful! I like the sign as well. I've always wondered how these signs are made actually. It kind of looks like woodburning but at the same time I'm not so sure if that's the case. Either way, looks cool! I've not heard of Shingu Castle until now, but it looks like it was one of the castles torn down in the Meiji Period. From my understanding they're working to restore it so I wonder how it's coming along. I like visiting ruins though, so maybe before they finish rebuilding it I can make my way over there to see them lol. Obviously I'd like to see the restoration, but ruins are just as cool in my opinion. They have their own uniqueness to them!

Today's Kochi Castle ✨ The cherry blossoms are almost in full bloom 🌸 After a long time, the stone steps were breathtaking 😅. It seems 😊 that the best time to see it will continue for a while

I couldn't sleep and went to Osaka Castle in the middle of the night. The cherry blossoms bloom for 2~3 minutes. The area around the castle tower is also slightly cherry blossom colored. It seems that the best time to see it around this weekend.

Wow! I know Himeji has some awesome things like Himeji Castle of course, but to just find this while going for a walk, how cool is that! Speaking of Himeji Castle, I wish I could have see nthe projection mapping event they had there in 2015? I think it was. Hopefully they do something like that again because I'd love to go and see it for myself. I envy anyone who got to see it in person😂 I really like the stone lanterns and small Buddhist statues in this photo as well, it really gives that temple feel. I'll have to be on the lookout for this place when I visit Himeji!

Awesome! The samurai residences of Kakunodate were awesome when I went there. The cherry blossoms were really amazing as well. Along the river and all along the houses. I remember I talked to one of the local shopkeepers here for a minute and it was really nice. There's supposed to be castle ruins somewhere near the town as well but I didn't get a chance to see them. This is a great place to visit in the spring for anyone curious. I highly recommend checking it out. Be careful of the big green spiders though, lol. I think they're probably harmless but they are quite surprising...

Matsumoto Castle in the midst of snow Matsumoto, Nagano

Tsuruga Castle in Fukushima! I'd heard of its white walls before, but it looks like winter is doing its best to make it completely white! Apparently Tsuruga Castle was designed after Kurokawa Castle that was sieged some time during the 1,500's. I wonder if the color scheme is true to Kurokawa Castle. It'd be interesting to know if there was some sort of tactical reason for an all-white castle. In a snowy region I could see it acting as a sort of camouflage but who knows. You can also barely see what looks like a shachihoko on the roof if you zoom in which is pretty neat. Apparently the inside of the castle has some mannequins set up with guns showing how the arrow-slits, or in this case gun-slits, would have been used. There's also other mannequins that show them being used for rock dropping as well. Warfare has come a long way since then😂

This is Tsuruga Castle in Fukushima Prefecture! It was even whiter from the snow and it was beautiful!

What a great read! The ruins of these castles are amazing. Just looking at them I can feel the history and historical importance of each location. I liked the bit about Lady Otsuya as well. I love that you can go almost anywhere in Japan and there's hundreds or even thousands of years worth of history to be discovered. I don't think it's a stretch to say that perhaps the ruins are more interesting than the castles themselves, albeit not quite as beautiful lol. Although the nature surrounding these ruins is also a thing of beauty. It's easy to understand why these places are considered the treasures of Gifu!

Soma Nomaoi held in July in the Soma region of Fukushima Prefecture. There is the courage of the mounted warrior and the quietness of the sacred ritual.

The arquebus is filled with gunpowder in two places. Gunpowder for firing balls. A mouth powder that ignites firing gunpowder. This photo shows the moment when the arquebus fire ignited the mouthpiece of the fire dish.
