A disturbing cloud floated in the sky above Kawarage Hell in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture. If you go down here, you will reach Yutaki. Take on the challenge of a mountain of sulfur without a single scorching vegetation.
Even if I collapsed due to heat stroke, there was no place to escape in the shade of a tree, and there were few people around, so I dared to walk a grueling 6-hour round trip this summer

It is a scene from the summer Festival "Night Castle in the Sky" in Noshiro, Akita Prefecture. The lights of the 24-Meter-high castle scorched the hot summer nights. It took me to forget my busy daily life and take me to the world of dreams for a moment

This is the departure ceremony of the winter strange festival "Kaketori" in Traditional Japanese straw raincoat Yama Hot Spring in Yamagata Prefecture. Parade through the town wearing chrysanthemums, men and women with their upper bodies bare, dancing and praying for a disease-free life, showered with cold water from the houses. What you can see in the background is Kaminoyama Castle

Igloos in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture is one of the landscapes of Japan that I want to preserve. Bake rice cakes in the snow muro to entertain travelers. On a winter night, you can hear the familiar voices of children inviting travelers

I took this photo from inside a car heading from Sapporo to Otaru. The sea was rough in winter. Everyone was silent and stared at the sea

It is an ice floe that comes to Abashiri Port. It is a gift from the distant Amur River. The Great Eagle was also flying

I looked at Lake Shikotsu from the Hito Festival venue on the shore of Lakeside Shikotsu. What you can see in the back is Mt. Eniwa
