I love the sunset scean in Chigasaki. The sun setting in the Izu Peninsula. The silhouette of Mt. Fuji. The sun and clouds present us with the sunset. The sea is bathed in sunset. The afterglow shines on the beach. Surfers on their way home. I collected scenes from Chigasaki in the twilight…
The silhouette of the surfer coming up to the beach after dark is beautiful. You can see Mt. Fuji beyond the surfers. The beach of Chigasaki is photogenic. Looking at the waves with regret, hurries home and looks for the waves…I gathered the surfers’ moments.
Yellow sand has come again this year. It’s amazing to be able to fly here from the Takla Makan Desert and the Gobi Desert in inland China, but it can also travel across the Pacific Ocean to North America.Sunset observed at Tsujido Beach of Shonan had an unclear outline and a yellow sky due to the effect of yellow sand.
Summer of lunar calendar has already begun this year. According to the 72 seasons in ancient China, it is around the time when frogs begin to sing. The flowers are starting to bloom all at once and the fresh green is also beautiful. The sky is a clear blue. The season has come when the humidity is getting higher and I can enjoy the red sunset.
That is the 19th temple of Shikoku exceptional Sacred Sites.Its principal image is Enmeijizobosatsu and its founder was Gyoki.I arrived at Kozaiji going down Mt. Katsuga from Negoroji, 82th temple of Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage. It was clear and sunny on this day, and the view of the islands of Bisan Seto and Yashima was wonderful. In addition, the blue sky and sea are vivid. This temple is a calm temple building with a forest behind it, and the precincts are quiet. There are more than 10 shrines and temples in the neighborhood, and the atmosphere of the temple town is well preserved in this city. There is only one temple left to make a pilgrimage to exceptional Sacred Sites.
This year, False bindweed, which heralds the beginning of summer, has begun to bloom on Chigasaki Beach.Like cherry blossoms, they came into bloom much earlier than usual. Beautiful pink petals stand out against the blue sky and blue sea. It is sad that the number of colonies decreases year by year due to the strong storm in recent years and the increase of the exotic species Komatsuiyoigusa. The flower language is “Bond”. ~The photos and videos below are from last year.
In Chigasaki, there is a famous camellia garden called Himuro-tsubaki Garden, which is at its best. There are 1000 camellias and 250 kinds of camellias planted in the garden, which is so beauty and spectacular. Cherry blossoms, rhododendrons and daffodils bloom, and you can hear nightingales chirping. It was mild spring breeze.
Chigasaki was hit by a spring storm on this day. After the heavy rain and wind, God gave me a wonderful gift. When I went to the beach, the clouds, the sea and the beach were reddish colored. I enjoyed the afterglow for a while….
Chigasaki is also famous for Kawazu-zakura cherry blossoms. About 70 Kawazu-zakura trees are in full bloom on the bank along the Koidegawa River. The dark pink flowers look beautiful against the rape blossoms and the sunset.
Kawagoe, located in the southwestern part of Saitama Prefecture, used to flourish as a castle town and is called “Koedo”. There are many historic sites such as shrines and temples, and the number of cultural properties in the Kanto region is said to be the third largest after Kamakura and Nikko. When I visited Kawagoe for the first time, it was covered with spring weather, and the white plum blossoms were in full bloom at Yakushi Shrine. The townscape of Kurazukuri remains well. The potato has been a specialty since the Edo period. The local sake is also delicious. The bell that is the symbol of the city is “Nihon Otofukei 100 Selection”. Shiki MASAOKA composed a haiku while he was a student here.
