Title: "Barrier"
A torii gate that marks the boundary between the human world and the divine realm. I reflected on the quiet divinity in the colors of the trees that spread beyond it. (Photographed in the garden of Nezu Museum, Tokyo)

Location: Former Ikeda Family Gardens, Daisen City, Akita Prefecture
The Former Ikeda Family Gardens in Daisen City, Akita Prefecture, were the residence of the area's major landowner, the Ikeda family. The Western-style building within the gardens is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. The wet reds and greens quietly stand out, adding a gentle touch to the history of this place. Nearby, you can also find the nationally designated historic site, Hotta-no-Saku Ruins (remains of an ancient castle). This autumn, why not come to Akita and trace its history?

Built in 1910, Kourakukan is a theater located in Kosakamachi, Akita Prefecture. While there are several theaters that remain as Important Cultural Properties, Kourakukan is one of the few that still hosts regular performances and is actively used today.
"A building truly comes alive when it's in use."
Although I can't include photos from the performances due to copyright restrictions, it's heartwarming to know that even grandparents have their favorite performers!
This facility is a source of enjoyment for the townspeople—"that's why we can preserve it."
Overall, it was a place that left a positive impression.

Akita dogs are really cute.
These little ones also greeted us cutely lined up at the 'Roadside Station Kazuno Antler's showcase.'
When you come to Akita, you can find such small moments of warmth everywhere.

A small path where I used to play with my friends when I was little.
As this season arrives, I find myself nostalgically drawn back here.
The cherry blossoms have always been here.
That's how I feel.

"We are all connected!"
The wrapped train of the Akita Nairiku Line seems to echo Shinnosuke's voice.
Father's hometown, Akita; mother's Kumamoto; and now living in Saitama—
the lands of our family are depicted on a single train car.
"The tracks and the bonds are connected straight, aren't they?"
After a long time, my heart warmed with nostalgia, and I pointed my camera.
Why not come visit "Akita" on the Akita Nairiku Line?

Dining inside the hangar is an irresistible experience for airplane enthusiasts.
The recommended omurice is a type of "Japanese Western cuisine" that originated in Japan and is now one of the elements of Cool Japan spreading worldwide.
Although there are gates and security checks, the surprisingly low crowd inside, thanks to this "high threshold," made it a true hidden gem.
Anyone can enter (no need to board a flight).
The location is Chofu Airport in Tokyo.

The "hidden gem" of Tokyo Station is the rooftop of KITTE, located right in front of the Yaesu South Exit.
Surprisingly, it's not very crowded, making it a favorite spot where you can relax with a coffee in hand.
As you watch the people passing by, you can quietly sense each individual's pace.

Hiroshima Prefecture's Miyajima has a hidden gem.
Step away from the bustling main street filled with tourists, and you'll find a quiet back alley like this.
Walking along this path while gazing up at the five-story pagoda feels like a glimpse of the 'hidden gem' that Miyajima gently reveals.
