Wagasa Street (Otaru City)
This is Wagasa Street, a popular summer-only attraction on Sakaimachi Street, a tourist spot in Otaru City.
The traditional Japanese umbrellas somehow fit perfectly with the retro feel of Otaru.

The Shussemae Square in Otaru's Sakaimachi Street Shopping District is adorned with colorful traditional Japanese umbrellas, creating a fantastical atmosphere.🌂
The retro townscape of the shopping street and the Japanese umbrellas match perfectly, making it a picture-perfect photo spot!
It's also lit up at night, so be sure to stop by on your Otaru trip next summer.
The Milky Way over Mount Yotei and Potato Fields (Kutchan Town)
On a starry night, Mount Yotei towers over a field of blooming potatoes. The fantastical Milky Way gently envelops the mountain's peak.

A graceful starry sky. The magnificent nature makes it even more beautiful!
In the coming winter season, the air will be clearer, and the stars will shine even brighter.☆
However, it gets cold at night, so please dress warmly and enjoy the view.
The Queen of the Seas Visits Hakodate (Hakodate City)
I captured the final port call of the Queen Elizabeth in Hakodate with the evening scenery and Mount Hakodate in the background to create a quintessentially Hakodate shot!

This is a shot unique to the port city of Hakodate! Comparing it with the surrounding buildings really shows the immense size of the Queen Elizabeth.🚢
We hope that both those who came to see the Queen Elizabeth and those who arrived on her made wonderful memories in Hakodate.
