When I was singing the song “Kagero” which is the theme song of the movie “Kiyoku Yawaku”, I wanted to remember the old days. So I watched the old albums. I started shooting the video from the reason for it. It would be nice to share it everyone.😊I assume that these photos were taken when I was a college student.
Hyogo trip
I think I wanted to go to the hometown (or Akō Domain) of the Forty-seven rōnin in Chūshingura which is the Japanese famous fictionalized story. It was when I went to Ako Oishi Shrine in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture.
I’m from the Department of Civil Engineering, so I wanted to see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, so I think I stopped by this place.
This trip is a very short trip that I came back from seeing the Kobe Luminarie at the end. In the movie “Hyakka”, there is a story about the Great Hanshin earthquake, but Kobe Luminarie was held with the intention of lighting the “light of reconstruction” of the earthquake. The area affected by the Great Hanshin earthquake turned well and I felt that it was a good reconstruction. I assume that the unity (strength of the connection) of the Kansai people and the approach of the surrounding companies were working.
I used the full use of the JR(Japan Railway) one day ticket “Seishun 18 Ticket” for one day and was able to finish it with a little additional travel expenses. I think the way back and forth is used by the midnight rapid train “Moonlight Nagara”. With only my physical strength, I was traveling without spending as much money as possible. At that time, I remembered that it was a good deal to be able to move while sleeping. Actually, I didn’t sleep that much. 😅
Kyoto Trip
Kyoto has been the center of Japan for a long time, so many historical events have occurred in Kyoto.
There are many historical buildings, and I thought Kyoto was the best way to learn about history of Japan.
In addition, it is actually a compact city, and even if it is a day, if your route management goes well, you can watch a lot.
Seimei Shrine is a familiar place for Onmyoji fan.
Onmyoji is a yin-and-yang master performed Prayers and divination in the Heian period (early 9th century).
Kitano Tenmangu Shrine is the head shrine of Tenmangu Shrine, which enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, who is famous for the god of learning.
Thanks to Mr. Hashimoto’s recent tweets, I remembered Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. Thank you very much.😊
The following is my general trip story, but sometimes I found that employees treat me a less service than others, so it seemed to be an image of “Something” for me.😅
I remembered that I met someone who was trying to deceit my change twice in my early trip.
Tofuku-ji Temple
It is a famous spot for autumn leaves located in the south of Kyoto City.
Kyoto Imperial Palace
The Kyoto Imperial Palace is located a little north of the center of Kyoto City.
The yellow autumn leaves of the ginkgo are beautiful.
Arashiyama
Togetsukyo Bridge
Hokyo-in Temple
There was a good garden.
Jojakko-ji Temple
I liked the autumn leaves here and went there a lot.
I think this trip to Kyoto is relatively early.
The one-day ticket of the city bus was cheap, but the scope that we move free was limited, and there were places where there was traffic jams, so I started to move by rental bicycle.
Kyoto, which is a basin, is low around Kyoto Station, so if you want to go to facilities for sightseeing such as temples, you have to climb a gentle slope. So it’s hard to go. However, the return is quite fast.

What I used to make the video
My album
iPhone SE (2nd generation)
I record the song with the Voice Memo app, shoot the video on my iPhone, and edit them with the iMovie app.
