「グリーンフラッシュ」 日本海側を旅すると、好天の日に夕日が水平線に落ちる瞬間を見ることができるチャンスがあります。思わず「ジュッ!」と音が出そうな瞬間ではあるのですが、日の入直前にもう一つの稀な現象を見ることができます。このグリーンフラッシュは青森県の深浦町で数年越しで何度もチャレンジして見れた光景ですが、きっと全国の海沿いで見れるはず。海が遠い地域に住まれている方も、このコロナ騒動が落ち着いたらぜひ見ていただきたい景色です。

Wow, what a breathtaking view. It really does look just like a mirror, it's incredible how perfect the reflection is. I really love the green as well, it's such a brilliant shade it really gives you the feeling of the rich, verdant countryside. I've had a love of rice fields since before I can remember, just because they look so beautiful and you can really appreciate the technology of humankind through them. I've never seen the rice fields in Kyoto to be honest, only the temples and shrines, which isn't exactly unfortunate, but I would really like to get out into the countryside as well. This reminds me so much of Akita as well and I only have fond memories of my time there. Going to have to throw the rice fields of Kyoto on my list for my next visit. On a bit of a tangent, it's pretty amazing you can take photos like this on cell phones now. Incredible how far we've come.

京都府 大原で撮影した1枚です。田舎の田んぼが季節限定でまるで鏡のように景色や空を反射させる景色は絶景です。海外の方にもこの風景の美しさを味わっていただきたいなと思います。
撮影に使用したのはiPhone11Proです。

It's interesting how Japan has so many blue lakes. It's such a strange phenomenon. I'm not sure if the color in all of them is due to the same phenomenon, but the one in Biei is supposedly colored blue because of aluminum and other minerals that scatter sunlight in just the right way. I have a feeling this one isn't the same because the one in Biei was formed only after a dam was made, but I'm interested to learn what exactly causes it here. I actually hadn't heard of this blue lake before but Aomori has some really nice scenery so it's not too surprising. Also Shirakami-Sanchi is a UNESCO heritage site for a reason I suppose lol. I'd like to go see this and the Nebuta Festival in Aomori as that's supposed to be really awesome as well. Maybe it's possible to see them during the same visit?

What an amazing view, catching the sunrise just perfectly between the clouds. I really want to visit Zao as I know that it's amazing all year round and it'd be cool to go during the winter since you can go skiing and snowboarding but it'd be great to go during the spring or summer when there's no snow to go hiking and see places like this as well. Okama Crater is really beautiful and I can imagine it looks even more amazing in person. It's too bad there aren't any fish in the crater due to the acidity but that's a cool aspect in and of itself too. The crater is actually a lot higher in elevation than I originally thought; never seen it with a sea of clouds before.

Looking forward to seeing the fireworks this summer, I've been to Omagari in the past and it was really amazing. I know there's tons of places in Japan where there are amazing fireworks as well since Japan has a really long history of fireworks, so hopefully it's possible to see them now that vaccinations are starting to roll out. The whole coronavirus situation has been a bummer for a lot of people and fireworks are sort of like a reminder of all the beauty that the world holds and they help bring people together. I'd love to go out and see Omagari again personally as it was easily one of the most amazing displays I've seen. It was great getting to bring a picnic blanket and everything and just sit under the stars until it started too

青森県十和田市で、桜が開花する頃に女性騎手だけで行われる流鏑馬大会です。 艶やかな和装姿の女性騎手は、弓を持ち、日本在来血統を継ぐ馬に載り、砂塵を揚げながら素早く駆けて三つの的を射貫きます。本来、流鏑馬は、神事として男子のみが行う行事ですが、21世紀の現代に相応しく、男女の性の差を廃止し、古から伝わる日本古来の武道・馬術の伝統を取り入れそれを後世に伝へ、艶やかな和装撫子が魅せる世界は、この土地へ訪れ観る価値あります。 【第4回「COOL JAPAN VIDEOS」フォトコンテスト-日本の春】で1000応募作で受賞6作品に選ばれ佳作受賞しました。【春ヲ射る】

岩手県 御所ダムの桜並木 岩手山をバックにした小岩井農場の一本桜を撮影したいと出掛けましたが、あいにく一本桜は開花したばかりで、岩手山も山と空の温度差から姿を見せてくれませんでした。 通りがかった御所ダムの桜並木が見事だったので立ち寄りました。 雲の切れ間から差込む日射しに桜木立が輝くように見えたのが印象的でした。

青森県鶴田町、鶴の舞橋 鶴の舞橋のある津軽富士見湖には、600年前の悲恋物語があります。 当時の清水城城主間山之守は、狩りの途中に立ち寄った家で出会った白山姫と恋仲になります。丈なす黒髪に色白の姫の容姿は白百合のようであったと伝えられています。しかし、城主は、ある豪農から紹介された琴姫に心変わりし結婚してしまいます。これを知った白山姫は大溜池に身を投げ、その遺恨は白竜となって城主を呪います。そして、城主もまたこの溜池に身を投げたということです。 村人達の供養により、今では、この大溜池は津軽新田の水源地となり豊かな恵みをもたすようになったということです。

秋田県八郎潟の"桜と菜の花ロード" 八郎潟は、先の大戦後の食糧不足解消を目的に、1977年3月、20余年の干拓工事の後に、17,239haの"希望の大地"として生まれ変わりました。 1984年、村の創立20周年記念として村民が3年で3,000本の桜を、また、50周年記念では1,000本の桜を植栽。菜の花は地元ボランティアによって植栽されたとのことです。 約11kmにわたる染井吉野、八重桜、紅山桜と菜の花ロードの圧巻に “感謝” !!

晴天に誘われて、山形市の霞城公園に桜を見に訪れました。桜は盛を過ぎ散り始めていました。 城の石垣の上を歩いていると、只々穏やかな桜吹雪の中、凛とした射的の音がしていました。矢が弓を放れる音、的を射る音がなんとも心地良く響いていました。 (ご本人の了承を得て投稿しています。射形はまだまだですと謙遜されていました。)

Karamatsu Kannon-do Hall in Yamagata City is located upstream of the Mumigasaki River, famous for the best imoni-kai in Japan. It was built in 1661 by tadahiro Matsudaira, the lord of the castle. Kannon-sama, the main image, is said to be the work of Kobo Daishi, and the hall is a suspension that mimics Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple. It is said that this Kannon was brought by Princess Toyomaru, who was married to charcoal-grilled rattan thick, according to the notice of Shimizu Kannon. Against the background of the golden culture of the Oshuri Fujiwara family, there were legends of charcoal grilled rattan, legends of the second generation Kinsuri Yoshiji, and legends that the princess invited Yoshitsune Gen, and it was something that made you feel the taste of old stories.
