I tried to take a decent photo of Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower in Shinjuku, but didn't have enough to to really get up close to it unfortunately, so this building is in the way lol. I didn't realize that the tower was filled with educational facilities until now. Apparently the architects liked the cocoon shape because they felt it symbolized the nurturing of the students that would be inside of it. It's pretty interesting and a great concept in my opinion. Japan has a lot of cool architecture, both modern and historic and I love seeing them both. Hopefully next time I visit Shinjuku I'll be able to get a better view of the tower, although it might be a while lol. Either way, pretty cool place!

Some photos I took during my visit to the Edo-Tokyo Museum. I really enjoyed seeing the recreations of the Edo cityscape and seeing what the city would have looked like back in the day. I like that you can also get a feel for what life was like at that time and you can even see people doing various jobs or holding tools related to them. I enjoyed seeing the boats as well, as it showed how shipping would been carried out at the time, and you also get to see the architecture of the ships, which was really awesome in my honest opinion. I also tried getting a decent photo of Tokugawa Ieyasu but I was really short on time when visiting as the museum was about to close, so I definitely need to go back there again. I wanted to see some of the other exhibits as well, stuff like the Great Kanto Earthquake exhibits, etc. so I have an excuse to visit again lol.

Some photos I took at Nijo Castle in spring 2018. You can see the cherry blossoms in some of the photos just starting to bloom, but not quite in full bloom, and the rest of the gardens were really enjoyable as well. I really liked the gold decorations/designs on the buildings. The gate was also really cool. I believe it's called Karamon Gate although I'm not 100% sure on that. The moat around the castle was pretty neat as well, I can imagine it was a strong fortification, especially since it belonged to Tokugawa Ieyasu, although I'm not entirely sure about the rest of the castle's history. The photos of the moat and surrounding area were taken from on top of a small vantage point, and I wonder if it was originally some sort of turret, but I'm not sure about that either. Either way, I definitely recommend giving it a visit to anyone in Kyoto or anyone planning to visit Kyoto. I believe it was relatively close to the Golden Pavilion as well, so if you have the chance, why not?

コロナ前に名古屋へ旅行に行ったときに撮りました。季節は夏でとてもよく晴れていてとても暑かったのを覚えています。 このときの名古屋城は工事をしていて、残念ながら城の中に入ることはできなかったので、周りを散策していました。 名古屋は食べ物も美味しいものがたくさんありましたし、また名古屋城に行って中も見てみたいなぁと思っているので、ワクチンが広まって安全に出かけられるようになってくれればいいなと思います。

広島県宮島 厳島神社 満潮時、浮かんだ様になる厳島神社!!神秘的です。 赤と白のみのコントラストがまた特別な神社に来たと思わせる色彩 素敵です。厳島神社。 写真は6年前に行きましたが新型コロナウイルスで第4波で仕事上、休日はひたすらステイホームでコロナが落ち着いたら家族が増え、今度は家族4人でまた広島や行ったことのない九州にも旅をしたいな。。 どうか1日もコロナが早く落ち着きます様に。 どうか1人でも多くの命が守れます様に。 どうかどうか医療従事者が1日でも早く通常に戻れます様に。
