長野県伊那市美篶みすず笠原の「六道の堤の桜」
2022年4月10日に撮影しました。
高遠城址公園に比べて人が少なくゆったりとした時間を過ごせます。
桜並木と青々した池、雪化粧の駒ヶ岳を見ることができます。

この写真のポイントは桜と錦鯉の共演です。

「元気な百姓達の里」と呼ばれる南伊豆町の菜の花畑へ。辺り一面の黄色い景色に囲まれて、自然と笑顔がこぼれました。

Wanted to post this earlier this week, but better late than never I suppose.

Was walking around Arakawa and they were having a rose festival sort of event it seemed like. Over by Arakawa Amusement Park there was a little area set up with some stalls. I didn't get to check it out but it seemed like there were a lot of people there.

The amusement park was also open. I don't think I've seen it open for a while so it was nice to see people are able to visit it again. When I was passing the Arakawa tram I noticed there were tons of roses along the sides of the track that I'd never noticed before so I decided to snap this photo of the pink tram passing by with them.

秘密の場所で桜キャンプ🌸
サーカスtc×桜は相性抜群🌿⛺️
日本でアウトドアといえば桜ですよね☺️
また来年も行きたいな〜✨

長野県南信地方にオープンした山の寺キャンプ場で撮影しました。ソロキャンプサイトに佇むテントと、焚き火の煙お新緑が太陽の光で照らされて幻想的でした。

７００km離れた静岡県で撮影したものです。新茶の萌緑色と香りにとても癒されます。

Went to Karuizawa for Golden Week!

We booked our shinkansen tickets well in advance so we were basically flipping a coin with the weather, but it still managed to be a really fun trip despite 2/3 days being rain.

We were able to do a lot of shopping at the outlet mall near the station and other places in the area on the first and third days when it rained so it worked out perfectly.

My girlfriend's friend was headed back home from Tokyo the same direction we were headed so she stayed one night with us and then we were able to all hang out and go shopping in Karuizawa for most of the day after which she hopped back on the shinkansen towards home.

The second day was really nice weather, despite being just a bit chilly, but it was still nice enough that we were able to rent some bicycles and ride around the area.
The place where we rented the bikes gave us a nice sightseeing route to go on and so we were able to see a bunch of different places and use our time effectively.

When we were headed into town we crossed a bridge and there was a nice view of Mt. Asama with a ton of fisherman fishing along the river below the bridge. It was a pretty cool sight. We even got to see someone catch a fish as well.

We obviously went to Shiraito Falls as well and it was really beautiful. There was a sign behind that described how the water took around 5 years to come out of the ground where the waterfall was or something to that effect as well. The path leading up the waterfall was quite neat as well, with the river running next to it and a giant fallen tree with more smaller waterfalls to go with it. There was also two wooden carvings of the characters from Demon Slayer 鬼滅の刃 which was interesting.

The food in the area was delicious as well. We were staying at a pension and we only had breakfast with our stay, so we ended up going to another pension where they had yakiniku and we got a pretty good price for a massive platter of food. I was so full at the end I'm not sure how I made it back to where we were staying for the night lol.

The third day we did some shopping up at Harunire Terrace ハルニレテラス and we kind of just relaxed in the area. It was a pretty trendy place surrounded by nature and there was a hot spring up the road as well. We wanted to go in the hot spring but there was a pretty long line so we decided to pass.

We ate dinner at one of the restaurants at the terrace and while all of the indoor seats were taken, we were able to get some outdoor seating.
It was cold out so I didn't think it would be a good idea, but they had some heaters outside and blankets and it was actually quite enjoyable.

Had a lot of fun and it was a really great place. We might travel there again during the summer when it's warmer as well or maybe in autumn when the leaves change color. I definitely recommend giving it a visit!

Had a nice relaxing golden week and to finish it off I saw some carp streamers billowing in the wind at some park along the river near Kita-senju. Had some really nice weather the past couple days too, which was great. Hope everyone had a nice holiday/vacation!

3月末頃から川の上で鯉のぼりが泳いでいます。
3月末～4月上旬であれば写真のように桜と、奥には冠雪した伊吹山が見られます。

5月になると水が張られ、美しい田園風景が見られます。
新月前後だと深夜天の川や満点の星空が見られますし、
日の出の時間には多くのカメラマンが集まります。
余談ですがここから車で10分くらいのところに日本一高いバンジージャンプが出来る岐阜バンジーがあります。

「空を仰いで」赤城南面千本桜にて撮影

京都府宇治市平等院で360度撮影
しました。

sometimes imperfections are also good I guess. During taking the picture of the poppy amidst the ocean of nemophila, my hand shakes a bit as you can see but the shaky semi blurred picture gives a dreamy outcome for me. Just like our day dreaming experience this picture works for me... As if a butterfly flying in the sky or a koi fish swimming in a deep blue ocean....
Location: Hitachi seaside park, Ibaraki

Went to Rikugien Gardens over the weekend!

The weather was really nice and the flowers were beautiful.
I was hoping to see the yukitsuri, but unfortunately they'd already been taken down.
We bought some bikes recently so we decided to ride them to the park.
It's been really nice to get a bit of a leg workout in instead of riding trains all the time.
It was only about 25-30 minutes too and we were able to avoid all of the packed trains and get some fresh air.

I was pretty happy that we got to see the popular view from the top of the hill 3rd photo.
I've seen many photos of it before and finally was able to see it for myself.

I never knew that the park had turtles in the pond either, so that was pretty cool to see.
There were a bunch swimming all over the pond, sitting on rocks, etc.

We managed to spot a crane as well, but it was in a spot were we couldn't really take a good photo of it so I decided to pass and just admire it without a photo.

We stopped for a short break at one of the small cafes inside the park and got a quick snack.
I'm not a fan of manju, but my girlfriend likes them so she got a coffee and one sakura manju.
She seemed to like it, but decided to take off the flower from the top as she didn't want to eat the petals.
The melon soda float was nice too.
Definitely a nice place to visit and hoping to visit again in the fall to see the leaves after they've changed color.

那須烏山市の観光名所「龍門の滝」で撮影しました。先日初めてカメラを購入し（Nikon zfc）、撮影に挑みました！そこまで大きな滝ではないですが、近くまで行くと、滝の水しぶきが飛んできて、迫力を感じました。

宮崎県にある高千穂峡の写真です。高千穂は日本書紀に出てくることでも有名で、自然豊かで綺麗な渓谷や森林が数多くあります。中でも、高千穂峡は観光スポットとして人気があり、手漕ぎボートで滝のすぐ下まで漕いでいけるなど、ダイナミックな自然を体感でき、おすすめです。

赤城千本桜を撮影

市民の憩いの場所、里山の趣が残る公園です。レンゲ（ゲンゲ）畑が満開となるこの時期は沢山のミツバチが飛び回っています。いつまでも残したい日本の懐かしい風景です。
