Thirteen years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake
This photo was taken on April 3, 2018
It is a row of cherry blossom trees in the night forest of Tomioka Town, Fukushima Prefecture.
The Great East Japan Earthquake made it difficult to return home.
Decontamination work has progressed, and in this year,
Part of the tree-lined area has been opened to the public.
At that time, only the opening of short straight roads
Surrounding shops and houses are barricaded
It was an enclosed ghost town
I think I stayed for more than an hour.
It's not a time to attract tourism
There are almost no people who look like tourists.
I only saw a few groups of people who seemed to be locals.
I revisited it in March 2021.
Tomioka Town became an outpost for reconstruction
It's a very lively town.
The open area has been greatly expanded.
The branches of the cherry blossoms are beautifully selected.
It was also prepared to be lit up.
Realizing that reconstruction is progressing
I remember how happy I was.
The Noto Peninsula, where there is no fear of radiation,
Reconstruction should be faster
Good luck Hokuriku, good luck Tohoku.

Projects related to the 61st Obihiro Ice Festival
The 40th Hokkaido Ice Sculpture Exhibition Winter Obihiro Convention
It is the "Water Dragon" selected for the Obihiro Mayor's Award.
Stacked ice blocks on top of each other,
Chisels, luters, heat guns, etc.
I'm going to finish it with tools.
When the base is inserted, the height is about 2 meters
The fine beard and scales were amazing
It's a warm winter this year, so this afternoon
Of the 12 ice sculptures in total, 2 are
Unfortunately, it collapsed.
Next month, the Sapporo Snow Festival will start
Once every few years, a large snow sculpture melts due to the warm air.
Even during the event to ensure the safety of the audience
Heavy machinery may be used to break it.
If global warming continues at this rate
The timing and duration of winter events, etc.
Maybe it's going to change

Happy New Year
Unfortunately, there are a lot of clouds in the local area.
The first sunrise was not seen, and on its feet
I went to the temple for the first time.
The photo was taken at the end of the year
In the scenery of early morning training of Banei horse racing
It is currently the only venue in Japan.
On this day, it was around minus 10 degrees Celsius.
When it cools down to minus 15 degrees Celsius or lower
The breath and sweat I exhaled froze all over my body.
It will be pure white.

Thank you for posting such a beautiful photo.
Cool Japan Video also publishes articles about horse racing.
Please take a look here if you like.
The prototype of Japan horse racing is said to have originated from horse racing (Western-style horse racing) by foreigners living in the Yokohama Settlement, and from there it changed into Japan's own horse racing.
Modern horse racing in Japan is generally a "flat race" in which jockeys compete on horseback, but there are horse races with unusual rules in the world. "Tethered trotting race" is a style of horse racing in which a motorcycle is connected to the back of a horse and a jockey rides on it as a driver.
In Obihiro City in Hokkaido, there is also a horse race called "Banei Horse Race" that does not involve horseback riding.
In addition, "steeplechase races" are also popular modern horse races.
In this article, we explain the history and appeal of modern horse racing along with the video.This text has been automatically translated.

White in Sapporo from tonight
The illumination begins
(Odori Park is open until Christmas)
It's cold, but the air is clear.
The shine increases.
When the snow piles up, it becomes even more gorgeous.
If you have a chance, please do. (The photo is from last year)

It was originally an old bar alley, but
We are renovating it in Showa retro style.
Feeling like a wall has peeled off
Laundry hanging out of the window
Visible is one of the designs.
There are a lot of snacks.
There are various Japanese and Western restaurants.
If you make it monochrome,
Because it looks like an old building normally
I consciously left it as it was.
