Prefectural Office Forest

Hello there! I went to Prefectural Office Forest in Niigata city, Niigata prefecture to see red spider lilies. I thought they would be in full bloom, but in fact they were not. It will take one or two more weeks to see them blooming fully. It was on September 25th, 2024, sunny and the temperature was just right for me. Now, I am going to share a lot of pictures of red spider lilies :D

Kanazu Waterfall (Shiratama Waterfall)

Hello there! This time I visited Kanazu Waterfall, a.k.a Shiratama Waterfall, located in Niigata city, Niigata prefecture :) It was on September 4th, 2024, sunny and a little hot. This Shiratama Waterfall includes Male Waterfall, Female Waterfall and Sakunadono Shrine, and I made sure of each of them with my own eyes. It is said that a woman burnt herself to death in this parking lot, and it is famous not only for a scenic spot, but also for a haunted place. They say that the bathroom in the parking lot is haunted by a female ghost. Believing it or not depends on you. All right, here are some of the pictures around the parking lot!

Hello there! I went to the fireworks festival at Sekiya Beach that was held for the first time in seven years! :) It was on July 27, 2024, sunny and hot.
