Greetings
The theme of this photo contest is "Japan's Outdoors."
Since the Corona pandemic began, the popularity of outdoor activities skyrocketed in various parts of Japan as a way to have fun with just family and relatives.
Therefore, we invite everyone to submit photos of Japan's outdoors and share with people how you enjoy the outdoors in Japan!
Please post your favorite photos related to outdoor activities in Japan, including activities like camping, barbecuing, cycling, mountain climbing, fishing, marine activities, etc., with your comments and the location where each photo was taken.
Any photography equipment is fine!
We're looking forward to receiving everyone's wonderful submissions!
