塩引鮭は新潟県村上市を代表する鮭料理です。材料は選りすぐった鮭と天然の粗塩だけで北西の冷たい風の中に3週間さらされてゆっくり乾きながら、発酵、熟成し、旨みを凝縮していきます。千尾もの塩引鮭が吊るされている風景は村上の冬の風物詩となっています。鮭料理を味わう度に思い出す景色です。

日本の「さくら名所100選」に選ばれている青森県立芦野公園には太宰治文学碑や銅像、津軽三味線発祥之地の碑などがあり、ソメイヨシノなど1500本を超える桜があります。特に芦野公園駅付近は、線路を覆うように広がる桜のトンネルの中を津軽鉄道が走り、その光景は忘れられない旅の思い出です。

Recently we had some different kind of travel experience during our Niigata tour. We heard about the jade beach of Itoigawa and just for fun went there to enjoy real life treasure hunt experience. The day was sunny and the beautiful stone beach shine bright. Frankly speaking if you stand near the sea shore call colorful pebbles look like expensive stones 😄 and me and my wife collected a lot of stones regardlessly shape and color. This was our first time jade collecting experience and we knew a few things so we didn't expect to get any. Till we dont know if we have any jade or not but few of our stones looks translucent with bright green color under flash light. We shared one of it. Jade or not, for us it is a priceless stone as we have a lot of happy memories with it.

前日が雨ということで雲海の条件が整い撮影しにいきました。

とても暑い日にしまなみ海道へ行きました。サイクリングを楽しんでいる方がたくさんいたのが印象的でした。涼しい時期に私もサイクリングしたいなと思います。

This was my first autumn experience ever and I thanks myself for choosing Aomori for that. It was absolutely stunning and surreal. Till now after visiting a dozons of place, the memories of Oirase gorge is still fresh.

◈Uchimura Kanzo Memorial Stone Church

I went here on my first visit in Karuizawa. The church is simple yet artistic on the outside, and it's very solemn in the inside. As a Catholic myself, I felt that I was talking directly to God as I pray inside.

This church makes me want to explore more of the beautiful architectures in Karuizawa.

◈Shiraito Falls in Karuizawa, Nagano

Shiraito means "white thread" in Japanese. And, I agree that the water here looks like white threads, and it's just so relaxing to be here.

The fondest travel memory I have of Japan is being able to experience with my family the majestic view of cherry blossoms in full bloom which is truly a sight to behold.

One quiet morning during the spring season, we witnessed how early risers of Osaka get to start their day with a picturesque canopy of sakura trees in full bloom. One can’t stop but be left breathless in sheer delight by just looking at the majestic sight of these flurry of pink and whites flutter in the wind.

Our personal experience of hanami was an unforgettable memory because the experience left us with a great reminder on how our lives are much like the sakura blossoms -- beautiful and fleeting.

Life is so short and so one must enjoy and appreciate every moment we have while we are alive.

先日岐阜県海津市津屋川にいてきました、彼岸花が満開で一面に咲き誇る花と船頭さんを入れて、撮りました。

The identity of any city is the famous architecture, location, cultural etc. Sensoji is one of the prime identity of this city and from here we can see another current architectural wonder Skytree. One stands for the old and cultural part of this city and the other one is the symbol of Japan's modernity.

Sensoji, the iconic symbol of tokyo. I visited this place several times and everytime I feel very good. The view of the temple looks much better in the night time than the day time, I guess. Also during day time the temple ground is usually too congested but ib the night time its much better. I wish to visit here again.

まだ少し早いけどお鍋にしました！
熱々のお鍋は最高です！
日本の冬の定番メニューですね！

There is a candy shop a two-minute walk from the school. A candy store is a store that sells children's snacks. The sweets are priced at 10 yen, 20 yen, and other prices that even children can afford. The dagashi are decorated with Momotaro a Japanese folktale, beckoning cats traditional ornaments, and festival happi a cloth worn at festivals, allowing visitors to learn about Japanese culture. The other day, during a break in class, I gave the students some candy as a gift, and they were very happy. They especially loved the candy that crackled and popped in their mouths!
学校から徒歩2分の場所に駄菓子屋さんがあります。駄菓子屋さんは子どものお菓子を売っているお店のことです。お菓子は10円や20円など子どもでも買える値段になっています。駄菓子には桃太郎（日本の昔話）や招き猫（伝統的な置物）やお祭りのはっぴなどが描かれていて、日本文化を知ることでできます。先日、授業の休み時間に学生たちに駄菓子をプレゼントをしたらみんなとても喜んでいました。特に口の中でパチパチとはじけるキャンディが人気でした！

One of the most scenic destination where you can enjoy the thrill and peace of mind at the same time. Every turn of the road offers something overwhelming. Kurobe Gorge gave us some great memories one of which is this train ride. The trolley train experience was totally enjoyable. Hope to visit again.

世界遺産の五箇山相倉合掌造り集落での写真です。8月に訪れ、観光客で賑わっていましたが、そこに住む住民からすればいつも通りの1日で日常感もある一枚ではないでしょうか。
夏の空、夏の花ムクゲ、そして合掌造りと、まさに夏の日本を象徴するような一枚です！

I was enjoying the traditional flock japanese festival in Toyama near to Toyama station on 24th September. It was a part of Toyama festival which was held from24th September to 25th September this year after three years. It was really very charming and enthusiastic.
