A frog I met on a rainy day in Shizuoka Prefecture. Good friends are a good thing, aren't they? 😊

Beautiful river and mountains at Kamikochi, Nagano. This photo was taken during the Golden week of 2017. It's spring but there's already snow around this place. If you love nature, this is one of the recommended places to visit here in Japan.

This photo was taken in May 2017 at Kamikochi in Nagano. My first impression of this place was, "it's a real-life painting". The beautiful Azusa river is surrounded by snowy mountains, and there are lots of Japanese white birch tree in the area. Since then, Kamikochi has become my favorite place in Japan. I often come here once a year before Corona happened.

When I first heard about shirakawago in 2015 from then had dream to visit this place someday. Finally my dream come true and today I visited the most picture perfect and iconic village of Japan. I feel an unexplainable joy and time goes very fast to enjoy the beauty. The beautiful and unique gassho-zukuri village on a pre-autumn rainy morning. The traditional house, the rice fields, cosmos flowers, the green mountains and the alleys of pines what else we need to see. The whole atmosphere is so beautiful.

Shizuoka_Chanooka and Mt. Fuji. 💓💓💓 A refreshing morning. Longing for the wonderful nature of Japan. The green leaves highlight Mt. Fuji. Start 💓 a new day with excitement

It is Monet's pond in Gifu Prefecture. The water in this pond is very clear with spring water, so the carp also looks floating, especially Instagrammable.

Majin Tateiwa in Kyotango, which I really wanted to photograph before heading to Ine! When I arrived in the middle of the night, I was impressed to see the first Heavenly Way arch in my life. And what I wanted to try in this place located due north was the trajectory of the 😌 stars. It was around 2 a.m. in the middle of the night, so when night fell, I was quite impatient and it was pitch dark and difficult to explore the composition, so I had no choice but to soak in the river and get soaked, set a tripod in the center of the river, and it was still early April at that time, so I remember shooting while freezing, and although I had a hard time, it was like being in a planetarium, and there was a moment when I thought it was good when the photo was completed. There is a deep connection with Prince Shotoku's mother, Empress Mahito, and there is also a bronze statue to watch over this Tateiwa.

The sand dunes in the middle of winter, which is different from the usual sand dunes, are pure white and beautiful, but it was 😅 difficult because it was extremely cold due to bad weather.

When I arrived at the winter dunes, I gave up shooting due to a snowstorm, but I took 😀 the photo when the snow gradually began to settle.

I was very impressed by the sight of 500 autumn leaves burning in front of me on the Metasequoia tree-lined 2.4 km. Please go see it once, I recommend it. I was also impressed by the new record of spring and the snowy scenery of winter.

Awaji City Miraculous Star Plant Museum I wanted to come at night, but I gave up 😅 because I couldn't seem to make it in time for my daughter's bedtime.

Miraculous Star Botanical Museum in Awaji City I think 😀 this is a great place for plant lovers. It was 😯 quite beautiful and surprising continuously.

One of the most scenic and my most favourite tourist destinationis Oshina hakkai. The crystal clear water, colorful koi fish, traditional houses and snow caped mount fuji everything is present there. A perfect destination for mount fuji lovers like me. I visited this place in last autumn and wish to visit here once again.

Finally managed to visit Shinjuku Gyoen over the weekend Been meaning to go here for a while now and finally had the chance The park itself was quite large, it was a bit surprising how much space it actually takes up in the city. There were a lot of cool stone lanterns and other structures to see throughout the park as well. The Taiwan building was pretty interesting to learn about. Apparently it was donated to Japan in 1924 by Japanese people living in Taiwan. The sign outside mentioned that it was a nice place to feel the breeze and it wasn't a lie either. It felt really nice standing on the balcony overlooking the pond. The breeze came through perfectly. Unfortunately we didn't bring a blanket with us to the park but there were a lot of other people laying down on the grass and it looked like a nice place to have a picnic. We stopped at one of the rest areas and grabbed some drinks as well. I got a lemonade drink that was really refreshing and she got a café latte. We took a quick tour through the greenhouse at the end as well and it had a lot of cool plants inside. I found this flower with grey leaves that I thought was really cool looking. I definitely want to return during autumn to see how the park looks after the leaves change!

It is an autumn cherry blossom field in Inami Town, Hyogo Prefecture. It is extensively cultivated every year, but this year was the best. In the refreshing season of the blue sky, the 2 million autumn cherry trees swaying in the wind were a masterpiece.

She was enjoying the beauty of Nachifalls and the pagoda at the same time. She was really very very excited to see the waterfall. Also it was a spring time and as a result lots of flowers bloomed in the surrounding area. The whole combination that means sakura, pagoda and nachifalls makes her so happy that she cannot control her expressions. It was really full of joy. Location: Nachifalls, Wakayama

It is the full moon on September 10, 2022 and Himeji Castle. The moonrise was covered with clouds, but it showed a beautiful appearance through the clouds.

Kokoen Garden in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is a vast garden with 10,000 tsubo. It is a beautiful Japanese-style garden that can be seen in the view of the World Heritage Himeji Castle. It consists of 9 gardens and can be enjoyed with various tastes. Not only the season of fresh greenery, but also the season of autumn leaves is exceptionally beautiful.

1000-year-old olives on Shodoshima This large olive site towered powerfully and had a great impact, and the view of the Seto Inland Sea from this hill was also the most beautiful.

Hisaya Hachiman Shrine in Shinonsen Town, Hyogo PrefectureThe moss here is very beautiful, and on the way to the shrine, the green carpet is soft and comfortable to walk on, and it is along the road on the way from Yumura Onsen to Kinosaki Onsen, so I stopped by, but there was not much information and the nature was very mysterious.

"Bread Factory Nekonote" in Onomichi The bread here is very delicious, Onomichi has many slopes and is like a maze, which is fun, and this is also a place 😀 I love because it has a retro atmosphere.

Visited on another day The Hill of Hope The weather was disappointing, but it's still a place 😯 to enjoy

I bought it in Naha, but I don't know how to use it. The way the light came in was great, and 😌 I would like to go again someday.

One of my favorite photos taken on the way to what the sea ahead is like while strolling along the fukugi trees

Looking at the sea of Nagahama Beach, even a 2-year-old can understand it, but for some reason my daughter 😌 was always excited and happy to see this beautiful sea.

There are many beaches in Okinawa, and I wanted to go to famous places, but I stopped at Nagahama Beach on the way to Heart Rock. Is this a secret place ... It was 😌 beautiful that there were no people at all that day.

Okinawa visited for the first time in 5 years There are few rental cars and the aftereffects of Corona are large. It was my first flight trip in a long time and I had a lot of fun

It is a waterfall located in the Kannabe Valley in Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is said to have a drop of 22 meters. The light came through the gaps in the trees and looked mysterious.

Tomonoura Lighthouse in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture The setting sun illuminated the lighthouse beautifully.

Kagawa Prefecture My parents are in the beach I was able to travel to a place called Salar de Uyuni in Japan for the first time. Glad we arrived before the sun went down.
