I am an aunt who loves to travel for 8 years for the first time with a camera.
I'm running around looking for a spectacular view of the whole country.
I will upload the photos I have taken little by little.

Crimson Clover in Katsurao Village, Fukushima Prefecture
After the temporary evacuation was lifted due to the nuclear accident, cultivation began as a green manure to improve the soil of the deteriorated farmland.
By incorporating Crimson Clover into the soil as green manure, it is said that the fertility of the farmland is restored.
A photo of the entire field in bright red gradually spread on social media, and this initiative started to gain media attention.
Tokyo Camera Club and Katsurao Village collaborated to establish photo spots (three locations) with the help of Michi-no-Eki Sera, aiming to boost tourism.
If you take photos at the three locations and show them at Katsurao Village Reconstruction Exchange Hall Azalea, you will receive seeds of Crimson Clover.
It is a symbol of the reconstruction of Katsurao Village.
This year's photo spots were available until the 24th, but be sure to visit next year.
The planting locations change every year, so it's convenient to check at Katsurao Village Reconstruction Exchange Hall Azalea before going.
I participated in the photo tour organized by Tokyo Camera Club this time.
It was held with the full cooperation of Katsurao Village, and I was moved by the warmth of the villagers.
Please be sure to visit Katsurao Village.

The weeping cherry blossoms at Zōsen-ji in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture, lit up on March 28, 2026.
The blossoms were in full bloom.
There were a few photographers present.
I visited after seeing a photo in the brochure for the one-tree cherry blossom tour in Iida City.
There were so many beautiful cherry blossoms that I couldn't see them all in one day.
I hope to explore again next year.

Tsubosaka-dera Temple's Sakura Daibutsu April 4, 2026
It was rainy, so there were reflections.
This time, parking at Tsubosaka-dera was completely reservation-based, eliminating traffic, and we were able to smoothly reach the parking lot at the reserved time.

Sun pillar and diamond dust at Kirigamine, Nagano Prefecture
The 1/3 weather forecast predicted a temperature of −8°C and 80% humidity. Since snow had been forecast until 21:00 the night before, I thought it might appear and drove out.
By the time I arrived at 21:00, the snow had already stopped, but a light dusting of powdery snow had settled.
At 22:00 the car’s outside thermometer read −12°C, so I went to bed hoping the temperature would keep falling.
I hiked 600 m along the snowy road from the parking lot to the shooting point just after 6:00 in the morning.
The morning temperature was −12°C.
Mount Fuji was clearly visible.
There were clouds above Yatsugatake, but at 7:20 a sun pillar appeared above them.
I silently wished for it to appear below as well, and from around 7:24 the diamond dust began to sparkle.
The sun pillar lasted about 15 minutes, but the diamond dust continued to glitter afterward.
I had visited several times last year without success, so I was delighted to see it this time.

Korankei’s autumn leaves, said to be the best in the Tokai region.
The view from the sanmon gate of Kojakuji Temple.
I love this view and often linger, but when the light comes in it fills with many people.
I waited until the crowd thinned to take these photos.
