There are so many autumn viewing spots all over Japan and Tokyo is not a different kind. Actually in Tokyo there are so many autumn viewing spots. One my favourite spot in Tokyo is Showa memorial park. The autumn color is very gorgeous here and the reflection on the water color makes it better. Almost everyone took photos from this spot. In this photo one amused person is trying capture the autumn colors.

Though Hitachi seaside park is famous for Kochia during the autumn season but cosmos fields too give a beautiful shade when you see the whole Miharashi hill from the top or distance. During a sunny day flowers attract the eyes most..

Into the world of Kochia... A woman in black standing alone in the middle of the red valley and the stunning contrast made this picture beautiful

During my visit to hitachi seaside park I noticed a pair of sparrow were enjoying their time in the midst of the cosmos flower field and their playful affection caught my eye. The sight was really very joyous and beautiful. Hope you all find it so

日本の「さくら名所100選」に選ばれている青森県立芦野公園には太宰治文学碑や銅像、津軽三味線発祥之地の碑などがあり、ソメイヨシノなど1500本を超える桜があります。特に芦野公園駅付近は、線路を覆うように広がる桜のトンネルの中を津軽鉄道が走り、その光景は忘れられない旅の思い出です。

The next day returning from my two and a half months travel in Europe, I visited Nara, one of the most historical cities in Japan, with my friends. Compared to the cool weather in Europe, the Japanese summer was too hot for me. It seems like it was too hot for the deers too. I wanted to jump in with them!

白鳥さんこんにちは！私もご一緒していいですか？

地元の公園でひと休憩。街から少し離れた場所にある小さな公園は秋の顔を見せてくれました。嬉しい時、辛いとき、こっそり涙した日。自然はふと気の抜ける自分の素顔を知っていて、いつでも出迎えてくれます。

Finally managed to visit Shinjuku Gyoen over the weekend

Been meaning to go here for a while now and finally had the chance

The park itself was quite large, it was a bit surprising how much space it actually takes up in the city.
There were a lot of cool stone lanterns and other structures to see throughout the park as well.
The Taiwan building was pretty interesting to learn about. Apparently it was donated to Japan in 1924 by Japanese people living in Taiwan.
The sign outside mentioned that it was a nice place to feel the breeze and it wasn't a lie either. It felt really nice standing on the balcony overlooking the pond. The breeze came through perfectly.

Unfortunately we didn't bring a blanket with us to the park but there were a lot of other people laying down on the grass and it looked like a nice place to have a picnic.

We stopped at one of the rest areas and grabbed some drinks as well. I got a lemonade drink that was really refreshing and she got a café latte.

We took a quick tour through the greenhouse at the end as well and it had a lot of cool plants inside. I found this flower with grey leaves that I thought was really cool looking.

I definitely want to return during autumn to see how the park looks after the leaves change!

向日葵の最盛時期には遅かったのですが、その分人が少なく撮影しやすかったです。向日葵を見ながら携帯で撮影する女の人と椰子の木陰でベンチに座る年配の男の人の対比が面白くスナップしました。

I stopped by the Jujo Ginza Shopping Arcade over the obon weekend and managed to take these two photos.

The first one was taken at Nanushi no Taki Park (名主の滝公園).
It was kind of an interesting place to find in Tokyo. It felt really removed from the rest of the city and its surroundings and had a completely different atmosphere from even just a block away. Once you got inside the park itself it seemed a lot quieter and it was quite cool as well. It's completely surrounded by greenery and the water must help keep the area cool. There's a walking course around the inside of the park but I opted against walking it as there were a fair number of mosquitoes biting at me. The waterfall itself was quite nice though.

The next spot was just before the shopping arcade near a railroad crossing. Thought it was interesting so I took a quick photo of it.

I believe the first one is GeGeGe no Kitaro, a famous anime, and everyone knows Doraemon

夏の雲と川のせせらぎ

Went down to Takamatsu over the 3 day weekend last week. It was the first time either one of us had been to Shikoku before and it was a lot of fun. I'm surprised it's not talked about more, as there's so much stuff to do. We stayed near Takamatsu pretty much the whole time and we still didn't get to visit every place that we wanted to go.

The first day mostly consisted of Ritsurin Park.

The park (garden) itself was quite large and there was a lot of beautiful sights to see. We really wanted to go on the boat ride throughout the park's pond, but unfortunately it started to rain just a tiny bit and they closed the boat for the rest of the day, just before we arrived...☔️

Even still we had a lot of fun walking around the park. There were a lot of koi and turtles swimming in the pond too.
We stopped by a small cafe-like building inside the park and i got an ice cream float and she got a coffee.
In front of the shop one of the custodians came by with a big bucket of fish food and created a feeding frenzy amongst the koi. I'm pretty sure I saw a single catfish in there as well. After we finished our drinks we climbed to one of the best viewing spots in the park which had a really amazing view of the bridge and the pond. You can see the people on the boat we didn't get to ride too lol?

The one building shown in photo 9 was actually a tea house where I think you could try traditional tea ceremony and eat sweets as well, but they also seemed to offer just a normal tea drinking experience as well.
We decided not to try it, but if you like tea ceremony it looked quite nice.

Had a nice relaxing golden week and to finish it off I saw some carp streamers billowing in the wind at some park along the river near Kita-senju. Had some really nice weather the past couple days too, which was great. Hope everyone had a nice holiday/vacation!
