Went down to Takamatsu over the 3 day weekend last week. It was the first time either one of us had been to Shikoku before and it was a lot of fun. I'm surprised it's not talked about more, as there's so much stuff to do. We stayed near Takamatsu pretty much the whole time and we still didn't get to visit every place that we wanted to go.

The first day mostly consisted of Ritsurin Park.

The park garden itself was quite large and there was a lot of beautiful sights to see. We really wanted to go on the boat ride throughout the park's pond, but unfortunately it started to rain just a tiny bit and they closed the boat for the rest of the day, just before we arrived...☔️

Even still we had a lot of fun walking around the park. There were a lot of koi and turtles swimming in the pond too.
We stopped by a small cafe-like building inside the park and i got an ice cream float and she got a coffee.
In front of the shop one of the custodians came by with a big bucket of fish food and created a feeding frenzy amongst the koi. I'm pretty sure I saw a single catfish in there as well. After we finished our drinks we climbed to one of the best viewing spots in the park which had a really amazing view of the bridge and the pond. You can see the people on the boat we didn't get to ride too lol🥲

The one building shown in photo 9 was actually a tea house where I think you could try traditional tea ceremony and eat sweets as well, but they also seemed to offer just a normal tea drinking experience as well.
We decided not to try it, but if you like tea ceremony it looked quite nice.

Turquoise sea and red torii gate are two most popular attractions of Shirahama. Summer is undoubtedly best time to visit here and I had some great memories during our last trip to Shirahama.

海の灯まつりinお台場
毎年7月の海の日にに海の安全を祈願して、七色の紙袋にろうそくの火を灯し、お台場ビーチに光のページェントを織りなすイベント。

富岡八幡宮の例祭は8月15日を中心に行われます。俗に「深川八幡祭り」とも呼ばれ、赤坂の日枝神社の山王祭、神田明神の神田祭とともに「江戸三大祭」の一つに数えられています。3年に1度、八幡宮の御鳳輦が渡御を行う年は本祭りと呼ばれ、53基の町神輿が勢揃いして連合渡御する様は「深川八幡祭り」ならではのものです。深川のお祭りは「ワッショイ、ワッシヨイ」の伝統的な掛け声と「水掛け祭」の別名通り、沿道の観衆から担ぎ手に清めの水が浴びせられ、担ぎ手と観衆が一体となって盛り上がるのが特徴で、江戸の粋を今に伝えるお祭りとして、多くの人々によって大切に受け継がれています。

神河町での一時暑い暑い午後の夏の一時

毎年訪れてる藍那里山公園の一時ここにいるだけで、癒されます😀

In Buddhism and hinduism, the lotus is associated with purity, spiritual awakening, and faithfulness. For me this flower is a symbol of strength and courage as it emerge from murky waters and live gloriously. From Ueno shinobazu pond

今年の7月に長浜に友人と行った時に見つけた大きな万華鏡の写真です！ドーム状になっていて手動でレバーを回すと中で綺麗な万華鏡が観れるものでした。外側が風車のようにくるくる回る姿が綺麗だったので撮りました

高校の頃の夏に向日葵がよく育っていたので花壇の前で親友と撮ってもらった時のオフショットです。

初めて沖縄県の西表島に高校の頃に修学旅行で訪れた際の写真です！いつかまた行けたらいいな！

今にも空に飛び立ちそうなヤドカリです。石垣島の米原ビーチで撮影しました。初夏の青空にヤドカリが映えます。

This hermit crab looks like it is about to take off into the sky. This photo was taken at Yonehara Beach on Ishigaki Island. The hermit crab looks great against the blue sky of early summer.

A summer farmland of Hokkaido ... The light and shadow makes the whole land picturesque during the afternoon. A land that cover in snow for most of the time of the year but during summer it looks so colorful and beautiful...

During summer sunsets become slow and delayed show of colors. During this time the sudden changes of the color from blue to yellow to orange, to purple, and finally gray shades of sky is some extraordinary nature's show.

A splash of water , slow wind and the buzzing noise of insects.... A perfect summer trip at Karuizawa gives only and only refreshment. Sitting in front of this falls calm the mind and peaceful too.

Continuing from last week, I will talk about a crepe shop in Nish- Hachioji. There is a crepe shop called "Twin's Crepe" just a minute walk from the school.The crepes here are so popular that they have been introduced on TV many times. The crepes are beautifully rolled in thin crepe dough and are a work of art. The taste is of course very good. You can eat them as a reward for studying hard😊✨
先週に引き続き、西八王子のクレープ屋さんについてお話をします。学校から徒歩1分のところに「ツインズクレープ」というクレープ屋さんがあります。ここのクレープはテレビに何度も紹介されるほどの人気店。薄いクレープ生地で美しく巻かれたクレープは芸術品と言っていいくらいです。味はもちろんとてもおいしいです。勉強をがんばったご褒美に食べてもいいですね😊✨

The first thing that comes in mind when I think about Japan and Sea is the great painting of Katsushika Hokusai. Yes , The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
That image shows the deep relation of this country to the sea and summer is the best time to enjoy the seaside activities and fun. Coincidentally this image was taken at Enoshima, Kanagawa. Just in that famous painting boats were tactically crossing the huge wave , this surfer too riding on that huge wave and brilliantly overcome it and came to the shore.
