On an early summer afternoon, strolling along the narrow wooden streets of Ine offered a simple atmosphere far removed from the hustle and bustle.
The quiet reflections of the Ine boathouses, with the funaya buildings mirrored in the calm, emerald-green sea, made a picturesque scene.
A distinctive manhole cover featuring the name Miyazu City (みやづし), the Amanohashidate sandbar, and a colorful little boat showcased the strong local culture.
Viewed from above through the circular frame, the Amanohashidate sandbar looked like a green dragon soaring across the Aso Sea and Miyazu Bay, just like a “flying dragon in the sky”！

Mt. Fuji
At a staggering 3,776 meters tall, Mt. Fuji is Japan’s tallest mountain and the pride of its two homes, Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures. This famous peak is an iconic symbol of Japan.
Mt. Fuji 🗻~
Forever so beautiful, my Tokyo travel diary~
Every time I return to Tokyo, I look forward to seeing Mt. Fuji. Whether viewing it from afar at ground level, looking down from a plane, or seeing it against a blue sky and fiery red autumn leaves, each view shows Mt. Fuji’s unique and breathtaking beauty.
The stunning aerial view from the plane, looking through the clouds at the snow-covered summit—the captain’s announcement let travelers know about the surprise outside the window. It’s an exclusive view from high above that only lucky passengers get to enjoy!
A spectacular view filled with autumn colors, with distinct layers of bright red and golden maple leaves intertwining with the snow-covered mountain in the distance to create the most classic Japanese scenery.
All in all, being able to see the sacred mountain with my own eyes on such a clear, sunny day surely made this trip full of wonderful memories! -

Tokyo Tower
Tokyo Tower was born in 1958. When it was built, Tokyo Tower proudly stood out as the tallest steel tower in the world. At a height of 33 meters, it was taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is located in Minato Ward in the center of Tokyo. Take in sweeping views of the city from the observation deck. Currently under renovation, it is always changing.
Tokyo is an incredibly vibrant city. I've visited more times than I can count, and while organizing my photos, I came across its iconic landmark—Tokyo Tower 🗼 (東京タワー).
No matter how many new attractions I visit, Tokyo Tower remains the starting point of the city's most romantic stories 🗼. More than its grandeur during the day, I prefer the warmth of Tokyo Tower as night falls.
For someone who has visited Tokyo countless times, Tokyo Tower 🗼 has long since become more than just a tourist attraction. It offers emotional significance and a sense of connection.
No matter how many new landmarks appear in Tokyo, its classic silhouette will always be irreplaceable.
Looking through the photos, the feelings and stories from that time come vividly back to life once again ✨

A Pilgrimage for the Popular Manga, “Slam Dunk”
This is the location of the railway crossing that served as a model for the opening scene of Slam Dunk, a basketball-themed anime that has gained enthusiastic fans not only in Japan, but all over the world.
A travel show is featuring sights in Kamakura〜
I still remember the streets of Koshigoe one summer a few years ago. The lively streets happened to be hosting Koyurugi Shrine’s annual summer festival, and residents dressed in traditional happi coats (festival clothing) held lanterns and traffic batons as they kept the neighborhood streets safe.
A retro green train slowly made its way through the narrow streets with its lights on, while modern transportation and the everyday traditions of a century-old shrine festival blended harmoniously here.
A delightful surprise on this trip was finding four little metal birds on a railing dressed in blue-and-white summer sweaters. This gentle tradition, quietly carried on by local residents, brought the journey to an incredibly heartwarming close. -
