Japanese Lucky Cat

Koko-en Garden is a traditional Japanese walking garden located next to Himeji Castle.

The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and just about to begin falling. The weather forecast says it will rain tomorrow, so the sakura season will soon come to an end. . What I love most is the moment when the petals fall gently in the wind like snow. It is incredibly beautiful and carries a touch of wabi—a quiet, fleeting elegance.

Kami Fusen by Kanazawa confectioner Takagiya. Filled with milk kanten jelly and subtly bitter, grown-up matcha chocolate, it also makes a lovely gift for Valentine’s Day.

A joyful surprise to open ? a Kanazawa-style dream confection that’s as fun to see as it is to taste

Last year, since I went there later than usual, the autumn leaves had already fallen at the temples in Kyoto. Kohrin-in, a sub-temple of Daitoku-ji, was no exception, but the carpet of fallen leaves was beautiful.

They have been producing flavor Sake in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan over 360 years since 1662.

The photo shows the garden of the historic Daitokuji sub-temple. The garden is well-maintained and very beautiful as always. I love this temple very much, so I eagerly visit it on my days off when heavy rain is expected. Then there are likely to be far less people in Kyoto. In the rain, the gardeners were taking care of the garden. Their efforts maintain the beautiful garden.

The cherry blossoms are almost going to start falling at Osaka Tenmangu Shrine.

His cakes (Masahiko Ozumi Paris) are always eye-catching but very beautiful with delicate shapes and vibrant colors. No wonder there are so many fans.

The greatest autumn leaves in the last several years.

Korin-in (A bub-temple of Daitoku-ji) I went to Kyouto last week to make a small prayer for my friend. I found there are very less tourists there due to rain, then I suddenly decided to visit Daitokuji sub temple instead of my temple.

The red spider lily (Lycoris Radiata). As for me, the white spider lily (Lycoris Albiflora) is one of the most beautiful and stunning flowers.
