Rain season and hydrangea

June and July are the most rainy months in Japan. They are called rainy season or 梅雨. It rains almost every day and you can't go out without an umbrella or raincoat. My uni was so foggy and wet all the time. Rain also makes me feel irritated, except for when I'm sleeping or lazying on the bed.
 
Most of people don't like rainy season. Neither do I. But I like hydrangea blossoming under the rain. They are pink, violet, blue and white. What a great feeling when you see a sprig of hydrangea swaying under the rain...

Before the end of rainy season (mid to the end of July), I had a chance to go seeing hydrangea. Be surrounded by thousands of hydrangea was an amazing feeling.

I love Japan so much. In Japan, there are flowers every seasons. They are every where...
Hope you enjoy the beauty of hydrangea in my photos.

Good bye rain season...Good bye hydrangea, see you next year !
Just leave a comment if you want to use my photos. Enjoy ^o^

field mustardー菜の花 and spring flowers

I love flowers, simply because they are so beautiful with many colors ( amazing things for a color-lover like me).
In this season, spring, there are many kinds of flowers blossoming in Japan. One of them is field mustard or rape blossoms. You can see it swaying here and there, playing with the wind.

Japan 2012 - Kansai

In Kansai I went to 3 biggest cities which people often go most when traveling there. They were Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto.

First, I went to Osaka. Osaka was a big, young and noisy city, somewhat alike Tokyo. I think it would be fun to live in Osaka, because the food is great and people are said to be really friendly.

Takoyaki - Osaka's most famous food

Sakura

I went to Osaka castle

Said goodbye to Osaka city

Next I went to Kobe. It took about 30 minutes by train from Osaka to Kobe.
Kobe is called a "Western city", because in the past there were a lot of foreigners went to Kobe port, lived there and left behind Western style architecture.

Kobe port. It was breathtaking, this scene

Ferris-wheel : my love

I got on it yaaa >0<

view from Ferris-wheel.

At that moment, I received a message from him:

nyaaaa

love the lights

Next day I went to other places in Kobe like Mount Rokko and visited Kobe center streets.
I like Kobe. It brought me the feeling of peace and somehow the image of a mature city.

A crape store

Mediterrasse is just a shopping mall. But the outside architecture is really cute

On the last day I went to Kyoto. It was sakura's full-blossom that time. I have to admit that I really love Kyoto. If I have chance to go to Kyoto again, I would love to go in Spring or Autumn. It must be really beautiful.

In Gion street

They were said to be "experiencing Maiko girls". So I bet they were not real Maiko girls

Let's see how a real Maiko is. She is a real Maiko

She is amazing...

I have a big interest in Maiko and Geisha. They are such beautiful and amazing women.

Finally, before saying goodbye to Kyoto, I went seeing sakura with my teacher. What I realized is that Sakura at night is also great *love*

The end >_<
Goodbye Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto. I swear I would go back to Kansai again someday. *heart*

From a traveling-lover with love.
