1st Apr 2016: Cherry Blossoms at Johoku Chuo Park in Nerima

-
Straddling the border between Nerima and Itabashi wards in Tokyo, Johoku Chuo Park is one of the largest green spaces in the northern part of the city. In spring, it transforms into a beloved cherry blossom destination, drawing visitors with its serene beauty.

Among its many highlights, the row of cherry trees lining the Shakujii River is especially enchanting. Their pale pink blossoms reflect softly on the water’s surface, creating a dreamlike scene as if the flowers themselves are cascading gently into the stream.

The riverside path remains quiet and peaceful, offering a hidden retreat where one can escape the bustle of central Tokyo and enjoy hanami in a relaxed, contemplative atmosphere.

24th Dec 2017: Rancho Palos Verdes Starbucks – My Most Cherished Ocean View Coffee Memory

-

There’s a Starbucks in Rancho Palos Verdes (Los Angeles, CA) that I will never forget. Nestled right in front of the vast Pacific Ocean, it offers a breathtaking view that makes every sip of coffee feel like a moment of peace.  What made it truly special were the evenings—watching the sun slowly sink into the horizon, painting the ocean in shades of crimson and gold. I remember sitting there, completely immersed in the beauty, feeling time gently slow down. It’s been nearly twenty years since that visit, but the memory remains vivid in my heart. Among all the Starbucks I’ve ever been to, this one stands above the rest. It wasn’t just about the coffee—it was about the serenity, the view, and the quiet joy of being present in such a beautiful moment. Even now, I consider it the best Starbucks I’ve ever experienced. rencho palos verdes starbucks - Bing 地図 iPhone 6s Plus / F2.2 / 1/277s / ISO25 / 0.0 iPhone 6s Plus / F2.5 / 1/280s / ISO25 / 0.0 Participating in the ranking If you thi...

14th Nov 1998: Mitarai Keikoku in Nara Prefecture

-
Image
Mitarai Keikoku located in Tenkawa Village, Nara Prefecture, is a nature-rich valley that becomes beautifully adorned with vibrant autumn foliage each year.  The best time to view the fall colors is typically from early to mid-November. During this season, the emerald-green streams, cascading waterfalls of various sizes, and the vivid reds and yellows of the trees create a truly breathtaking landscape. Well-maintained walking trails and suspension bridges allow visitors to enjoy the harmony of waterfalls and autumn leaves as they stroll through the gorge. In particular, the view from the suspension bridge—looking down at the waterfall framed by colorful foliage—and the reflections of the leaves on the crystal-clear water are especially popular among photography enthusiasts. During the peak season, the area becomes quite crowded with tourists. To avoid the crowds, I arrived in the middle of the night, took a short nap in the parking lot, and then enjoyed photographing the gorge in t...
