Quoted from @946946ku's post
The majestic brick gate stands tall. Its reflection on the water after the rain makes for an even more fantastical photo. The majestic atmosphere is reminiscent of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the Harry Potter movies. On social media, people commented, "I want to use the Alohomora spell to unlock the gate," "It has a stunning mirror effect," and "It's exciting."

The true identity of this fantastical building is Kushiro Public University in Kushiro City. The poster, Tokozo, makes it a daily habit to walk around his hometown of Kushiro while taking photos. He is active on social media every day, hoping that people will look at his photos and think of Kushiro as "nostalgic" and "beautiful."
