鳥取県倉吉市、ハワイ海水浴場の海は、鳥居が浮かび幻想的です。神様に見守らているようで、安心して泳げます。

古い街並みに花火が映える日本の夏、懐かしい故郷の夏を感じさせてくれる一枚を選びました。

ふるさとに根付いた歴史ある「蘇水峡川まつり花火大会」が3年ぶりに開催されました。
ここ八百津には、江戸時代「小江戸」と呼ばれるほど賑わいを見せた木曽川最上流の湊「黒瀬湊」があり、打ち上げ花火の歴史は、江戸時代に遡ることも。舟運華やかな頃の名残として今も木曽川を舞台に開催されています。
コロナ禍により戦没者慰霊や戦後復興により始まった花火大会は、メジャーなものでも相次ぐ廃止・統合が続く中、小さな町で開催が継続されたことは本当に嬉しいものです。
コロナ禍の中昨年は竜巻も発生し、災難続きの八百津ですが、杉浦千畝氏の生誕地であり木曽川や山々の自然、鰻に栗きんとんなどの美味しいものに魅力いっぱいの町。今後新丸山ダムが完成し、周辺の整備が進むと秘境の深沢峡にもまた行けるようになるとか。
昔の賑わいを取り戻していくことを願っています。

夕陽に照らされ色が変わりゆく赤岳をみて、言葉の出ない、至福のひととき。

A temple called "Shinshoin" in Nishi-Hachioji has a café attached to it. Visitors can spend tea time in a quiet atmosphere. The school introduces students who are interested in matcha to places in Hachioji where they can drink it.
西八王子にある「信松院」というお寺にはカフェが併設されています。静かな雰囲気の中でティータイムを過ごすことができます。学校では抹茶に興味を持った学生に八王子市内で抹茶が飲める場所を紹介しています。

今夜はロックグラスの底に富士山がある富士山グラスで有名な江戸硝子のTAJIMA GLASSで秩父のイチローズモルトウイスキーの白ラベルと青ラベルを飲み比べ

白の方が飲みやすいけど、青の方が好みだな

Was back in Kanda today for the first time in a while, but I decided to go back to the same izakaya I visited a few months ago. The food is really great and again it wasn't very crowded since I went a bit early. If you're in the Kanda area I recommend checking it out. Kakuuchi Inagaki 角打 いながき. They offer extra helpings of rice for free and also free refills of miso soup!

愛知県豊田市小渡町で8月いっぱい行われてる『小渡の夢かけ風鈴』です。
いろんな種類の風鈴が町全体にかけられており、風が吹くと一斉に鳴る様はとても風流です。
風鈴の色付け体験や浴衣の着付けなどもやっています。
小さな川も流れており風鈴の音と河のせせらぎで涼まれるのはいかがでしょう🤗

The last couple photos I wanted to post from our trip to Takamatsu.

The first one was at one of the stations by Ritsurin Park. It just tells you not to try and go past the railway crossing after the bar has come down but I thought the pictures on it were pretty funny lol.

The second was just one of the manholes that I thought looked nice. Snapped a photo of it outside of Takamatsu Castle

Samba is the traditional Brazilian dance and a cultural heritage of that country. Although in Tokyo there are not so many Brazilian but very fortunately there is a Samba carnival in Tokyo which is known as Asakusa Samba Carnival. The carnival is very colorful and full of joy and entertainment. Due to the corona pandemic last 2 years the carnival was cancelled and it seems this year also the carnival will be cancelled but in 2019 I was able to enjoy it. It was my 1st time to enjoy such a colorful and cheerful festival.

On the final day of our trip we were a bit tired but still wanted to see a few things and just casually enjoy our time.

We ended up going to Marugame Castle as our first destination. It was really cool as it's one of the 12 castles in Japan that still has an original castle keep. The castle itself isn't very large, but the area surrounding it is. From the bottom of the castle the keep is quite small so it's hard to get a good photo of it, but we got a photo of it with one of the turrets along the moat wall which was cool.

We reserved a rickshaw ride the previous night as well so when we got to the castle we did a little exploring and then we went on a guided tour around the lower area of the castle. The rickshaw guide was a really nice guy and quite funny as well. Apparently he was a comedian but he enjoyed doing this job as well. He told us a bunch of different things about the castle and it's construction while also telling some jokes occasionally.

After the rickshaw tour we climbed our way up to the top of the castle and there were saw really amazing views waiting for us at the top. You could see the entire city almost. We also entered the castle keep, but it was relatively small. It was still nice to see the architecture on the inside but the stairs were a bit scary. They were incredibly steep and I was holding the handrails the entire time going up or down them.

After checking out the castle we were pretty hungry and so we decided to get some lunch. Being Kagawa is the udon prefecture we went to an udon specialty restaurant. I haven't been to many udon restaurants so it was kind of a new experience for me. They had it set up kind of like a cafeteria and you go through and choose what you want and other toppings to go with your udon.
I didn't see the trays for the extra toppings so I just ended up putting the karaage on top of my udon lol.
I got niku udon and it tasted really good. The karaage was a nice touch as well. Not the usual tempura most people get but it went surprisingly well with the soup.

After eating we headed towards Nakazu Banshoen, a garden with art exhibits as well. Before getting there we decided to stop by a Lupin-themed cafe though. It was a really tiny shop but we were able to cool off for a bit and relax which was nice since we were walking quite a bit.

The garden was quite large and had a lot of different points of interest within it. The stepping stones were fun to cross and the row of torii gates was pretty cool as well. You can definitely take some nice photos with them.

And that concludes our trip to Takamatsu! Overall it was a really fun trip and I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't been to Shikoku or Kagawa before. We didn't even get to do everything we were looking at but we still had a blast!

The other day, we had a summer festival as a school event. At that time, we went to Hiyoshi Hachioji Shrine, a 5-minute walk from the school. Girls wore yukata and boys wore happi of Okunitama Shrine. It was a very hot day, but the breeze through the shrine grounds was very pleasant.
先日、学校のイベントで夏祭りをしました。そのときに、学校から徒歩5分の「日吉八王子神社」へ行きました。女子は浴衣、男子は大國魂神社のはっぴを着ています。とても暑い日でしたが、境内を抜ける風がとても気持ちよかったです。
