This sky is unique to this place. Located in the northern part of Mie Prefecture, Inabe City is a nature-rich agricultural town overlooking the Suzuka Mountains. From late September to early October each year, the vast fields are blanketed with white buckwheat flowers in full bloom. During sunset, the dramatic sky is dyed in shades of crimson, creating a fantastical scene where the silhouette of flower fields stretches to the horizon against the backdrop of the mountains, resembling a painting. It is precisely because of the unspoiled rural landscape that one can experience this overwhelming sense of scale and tranquility. With easy access, just about an hour's drive from Nagoya, be sure to visit with your camera in hand to seek out this hidden gem of a view. Inabe City, Mie Prefecture, Inabe Town.

Autumn leaves are often seen during the day, but I wanted to capture the night-time foliage lit up by lights, so I took these photos. The remaining green created a pleasing contrast, and I feel I managed to capture a truly Japanese autumn. This spot is Kouchi Valley in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture, which draws many visitors during the autumn leaf season. Although it’s fairly close to my home, I had never been until I took up photography as a hobby and felt the urge to preserve it in pictures, and I was able to shoot without any people appearing in the frame. I take photos mainly for my own satisfaction, but I would be thrilled if they resonated with someone else.

This is a photo taken at Saizakiura Beaches in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture. I went outbound with my colleagues at work to watch the fireworks. It's not like we're always together, and when you look at it from the sidelines, the six of us are hugged, but for some reason, I feel like we were able to stay at the same time and with the same feeling. Each of them lit their own fireworks and enjoyed talking to each other from time to time. It was a moment when things in my heart that I couldn't usually say spilled out.
