A fantastical scene born from a puddle after the rain. A single photo taken in Kushiro City, Hokkaido, is going viral for looking "just like a school of magic." But what is this place really?

Honestly, I don't think I'll ever be able to take a better puddle picture than this.

A stately brick gate stands tall. Reflected in the water's surface after the rain, the scene becomes even more magical. Its majestic atmosphere is just like the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the movie "Harry Potter." Comments on social media included, "I want to cast Alohomora (the unlocking spell)," "A magnificent mirror effect," and "This is so exciting."

The true identity of this fantastical building is the Kushiro Public University of Economics in Kushiro City. The poster, Torikozo, makes it a daily routine to walk around and take pictures of their hometown, Kushiro. They are active on social media with the hope that people who see their photos will feel a sense of nostalgia or appreciate the beauty of Kushiro.

These are snapshots of beautiful daily life, seen only through the eyes of a local. Why not take a peek at the many faces of Kushiro through Torikozo's social media?
