桜と雪山

Lonely lake surface

Winter Light Ring The sun of light Even if you're hiding behind the cherry blossoms It was stunning. Toyama 2021

Todaiji Temple is so awesome. I remember the first time I went there. I had a professor in college (awesome guy btw) who told the class about his trip there when he was doing research and he told us how massive the temple was. He showed us a picture and pointed out how the people looked like ants in front of the temple. I believed him that it was large of course but I figured maybe it was just the photo's perspective making it look larger. Oh boy, was I in for a treat when I actually got to the temple. It was seriously MASSIVE and the incense burner that he mentioned was out front as well so it was cool that I got to experience all of the things that he was able to experience in the past. I guess that's one thing that makes historical places like this so extraordinary- being able to connect with the past without actually being there. I really loved all the small models there as well lol! I'll certainly never forget my trip to Todaiji and I'd love to visit Nara again when I get the chance.

#冬 #霜柱を取ってみました。 公園に霜柱ができていました。手に取って撮影しました。（sudarat）

Whoa! Now those are some fireworks! Holy crud, this is insane. I don't think I've ever seen fireworks this bright and colorful and I've been to the Omagari Fireworks Festival before! Didn't know that Mie had such amazing fireworks. All of the good fireworks festivals are so far away from Tokyo ?. Just more reason to explore other areas of Japan though I suppose. Apparently this is the Kihoku Lantern Festival too so I'd get to see some beautiful lanterns on the water as well. Hopefully I can get out some this summer, been cooped up indoors for way too long at this point, and I'm starting to miss the fresh nippon breeze ?. Hopefully spring comes somewhat early this year so I can see some cherry blossoms and drink some plum wine while barbecuing lol!

雪国にある、私の実家にて。この日は久しぶりの快晴で、老齢の母が雪かき後に、私の娘（2才）のために雪だるまを作ってくれました。

ちょっと私にしては珍しい写真。 前に行った冬の北海道。  なんでわざわざ冬に北海道？！って親族に言われたけど、氷まつり等が見たくって周遊。  雪道だからパックツアーに乗って。 体弱いからツアーはハードだけど?   長靴買って履いていったけど、ここでは膝上までの新雪に足を取られ出られず焦りました?  でも着込んで行ったから夜のライトアップ以外は寒くなかったな。   勝手に冬の北海道はめちゃくちゃ寒い！なんてイメージを持ってたけど、エリアによって全然違うし  室内は逆に断熱に優れた作りになってるから暖かかったりするのにね。  京都と一言に言っても場所により全然違うし、和食のイメージあるだろうけどパンの消費量全国一だし?  なんでも経験してみないとわかりませんよね〜。   15歳年下の子に、「なんかすごいいろんなこと知ってるよね」って言われたことある。  個人差はもちろんあるし、年齢だけじゃ測れないけど、ある程度経験値や記憶力あると降り積もっていく。  お年寄りの話がすごいな〜って感心する事多い様に。  いろいろ降り積もらせて、笑顔の似合うおばあちゃんになろう?    ?Follow me❣?️ トラベルフォトグラファーAkaneが 国内外の旅、お出かけ、グルメ、時々雑貨、をハッピーになる言葉と共に発信してます✨ フォローはお気軽に?? @akane.suenaga   #Travel #hokkaido #Japan #旅行好きと繋がりたい #旅好きと繋がりたい #旅行好きな人と繋がりたい #旅好きな人と繋がりたい #写真好き #旅行好き #旅行大好き #女性写真家 #旅情報 #トラベル #トラベルフォトグラファー #トラベルライター  #白鳥 #鳥 #湖 #冬 #北海道 #渡り鳥 #雪山 #パックツアー #パッケージツアー #冬の北海道

Wow, what a great photo! Capturing the torii, the Victory? (I don't think it's the Queen Ashinoko at least), and Mt. Fuji all in one shot. I'd love to see this same shot in autumn when the leaves change, I think it'd be really beautiful. I want to go for a cruise on the Ashinoko as well if possible, I think it'd be a really cool idea for a date so I need to look into that lol. Plus I still haven't gotten to see Hakone much so it'd make a great destination to visit next. I guess next time I head south a bit otherwise it's a bit of a long train ride. Either way, I'm looking forward to when the opportunity arises!

艶のある日 京都にて

1 at Kamuy Ski Links I was able to enjoy deep snow this season.

雪の降った次の日の朝はテンション上がりますね。 新倉山浅間公園より。

早朝の新倉山浅間神社。 雪が降った後の富士山は美しい。

I really enjoy seeing these posts showcasing Japanese matchlock guns. Not only do they look cool, they even look cool being fired. The smoke and the muzzle flash make it just completely awesome. I've fired modern day rifles and handguns and stuff like that but I've never gotten the chance to fire something like this. I'd love to try it just to see how it felt. Maybe it's a way to understand the past better as well. Gaining insight on what the samurai of the past would have used, how strong they are, how much kick they have, how they reload, etc. etc. Speaking of the reload and firing, it really looks interesting. I'm not too familiar with how it works but I assume it's muzzle loaded and then the string is used as a fuse? Either way I imagine it's something there are definitely hobbyists for!

学校帰りに久しぶりに東京に雪が降ってきたので撮りました！

繊細な料理をつくれること、日本の誇りに思います！神は細部に宿ると、アフタヌーンティーへ行くたびに感じます?

Among the 69 stations of the Nakasendo, in the pure Nakasendo 67 inn (from Itabashi to Moriyama) that pulled out Kusatsu and Otsu-juku shared with the Tokaido, Naraijuku is a post town in the middle of nakasendo, located 34th even if you count from Itabashi-juku on the Edo side or Moriyama-juku on the Kyoto side. The highest altitude of kiso 11 inns, ahead of the difficult Torii Pass, the post town that prospered among many travelers was toned as "Narai Senken". The townscape has been selected as an important preservation district for groups of traditional buildings in Japan, and it has left a strong image of the past.

What a beautiful photo! I've seen a Japanese friendship garden in Portland I think it was but this one has a totally different atmosphere. It's really cool to see the different styles. I hadn't heard of West Lake before but I looked at some pictures of it and it looks like a beautiful place. I like how the architecture of the pavilions is very similar as well. I'm certainly a fan of all of the winter scenery I've gotten to see this year, but I feel like the cherry blossoms would certainly look amazing here. That or even the foliage in the autumn. I'd like to check this out when I get the chance. It looks like there are some interesting restaurants in the area as well so I can look forward to some tasty food!

Gifu Park Japan-China Friendship Garden Snow ❄️ A garden created in 1989 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the friendship city alliance between Gifu City and Hangzhou City, People's Republic of China, with chinese-style design gates, earthen walls, gardens, and ponds designed to mimic The West Lake, a famous place in Hangzhou City This pond is a pond that can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons. The cherry blossom ? is famous, but the snowy scenery is also the best. When you come to Gifu, please take a walk in Gifu Park. ?
