(2025/06 Shizuoka) Shimoda Park in Izu with my friend Cheng. The hill was planted with various kinds of Hydrangeas. This is a very beautiful park to visit in June.

(2025/6 Hokkaido) Early summer at Hokkaido University. The weather is cool and comfortable. I love the greenery.

(2025/05 Hokkaido) These are Kanzan cherry blossoms at Hokkaido University. It was such a fine day, with a gentle breeze, warm sunshine, and a clear blue sky.

(2025/04 Aomori) Sakura — so many kinds, all stunningly beautiful.

(2025/03 Sichuan) I visited the Sanxingdui Museum with my friend Li. The museum introduces a fascinating history from 3,000 years ago in Sichuan.

(2024/12 Alaska) Ice fields and snow mountains from above — so stunning on my flight from New York to Tokyo.

(2024/07 Hokkaido) Funano again, with friend Cheng. The photos are courtesy of Cheng. She always takes beautiful photos.

(2024/06 Hokkaido) My friend Li visited me from Chongqing. We stayed in Furano for three days. We love the greenery and flowers there.

(2024/03 Kyoto) With my friend Cheng — a sakura trip without sakura. The blossoms were later than predicted, which made me quite sad. But I’ll try again in the future! By the way, Universal Studios Japan was extremely crowded, and that was a bit disappointing too. Hello kitty was super cute.

(2023/12 San Francisco) It was my first time in the USA, and I stayed for one week to attend the AGU with my friend Cheng. The eye-catching photo is courtesy of Cheng.
