This place was once selected by CNN as one of the 31 most beautiful places in Japan, and I felt so lucky to capture the red torii gates, the blue sky, the white clouds, and the Sea of Japan all in one shot.
The weather is absolutely crucial here. On a bright, sunny day, the visual impact and color contrast are incredible.
Walking along this cliffside slope under the blue sky and white clouds, the experience feels deeply moving both to the senses and to the soul.

Kogetsu Premium Senju Senbei
In Kyoto, where traditional confectionery shops fiercely compete, it was the "Senju Senbei" that made Kogetsu famous. Since its launch in 1963, this confection has become a long-selling favorite, not just as a Kyoto souvenir but nationwide. In 2022, the beloved Senju Senbei was further refined, resulting in the "Premium Senju Senbei."
Senju Senbei is as delicious as ever. This time, I bought the one made with organic matcha from Nakai Seicha, and the matcha flavor was rich and fragrant. If I get the chance next time, I’ll definitely buy more.

Asahikawa Kitasaito Garden
Connected to Asahikawa Station, Asahikawa Kitasaito Garden is placed in a rare location - in the middle of a city. Passing the west concourse of the station and reaching the “Shopping Park” in the city, you can appreciate the grand Chubetsu River and the rich nature in the northern land.
Cleverly integrated behind Asahikawa Station and along the Chubetsu River, this place creates a green urban oasis with a modern design that stretches toward the city center. It’s a great spot for Asahikawa residents to exercise or take a walk, and it also gives short-term visitors a place to relax.
In winter, it is turned into a ski park and offers a simple skiing experience. -
