About 7 weeks ago Sunset View of Tokyo on April 27, 2013

On the first day of Golden Week (We have three-day and four-day weekends), I visited World Trade Center Building in Hamamatsucho, Minato Ward, Tokyo to see  the sunset. I was quite satisfied with the view from there.

ゴールデンウィークの初日、浜松町にある世界貿易センタービルに行った。きれいな夕日が見られて満足。

About 11 weeks ago The Last Minute of Cherry Blossoms

The cherry blossoms had passed their peak, but still I was able to enjoy the spring festive atmosphere along the Nakameguro River in Meguro, Tokyo. I joined +Drink and Click™ Tokyo's March event. The theme of the photo contest this month is "black and white photography" but I couldn't resist taking a photo of the blossoms in color :p  Thanks for organizing the event, +holger feroudj. Thanks for introducing the delicious pizzas to us, +Giovanni Piliarvu :D

東京、中目黒で開催された+Drink and Click™ Tokyo のイベントに参加(毎月開催されているので、興味のある方はページをチェック)。すでにピークを過ぎた桜だったけれども、春の祭り気分を味わうことができて満足。やっぱり人混みは好きではないけれど、ね…。+holger feroudj、イベントのオーガナイズありがとう。+Giovanni Piliarvu、紹介してくれた山手通り沿いのピザ(ピッツェリア エ トラットリア ダ イーサ)、おいしかった。

About 9 weeks ago Lensbaby Lights (A View from Mori Tower, Roppongi Hills)

I joined +Trey Ratcliff's Tech Talk and Networking Event held at Google Japan Headquarters in Roppongi Hills. An interesting thing is that a lot of the attendees (including me) were enthusiastically taking photos of the view from the cafe space of Google's office during the networking event, almost forgetting about networking.

六本木ヒルズのグーグル・ジャパンで開催された+Trey Ratcliffさんのトークイベントと懇親会に参加した。懇親会で面白かったのは、すっかり懇親することを忘れて、夕景から夜景まで多くの人が写真を撮るのに夢中になっていたこと。もちろん、僕もその一人だったけれど…。

About 11 weeks ago Cherry Blossom Canopy

I love this spot along the river on my way home from work. Few people are around there, and the cherry blossoms are lit up beautifully by the lights from the adjacent athletic field. With this, I don't feel the need to visit the crowded cherry blossom viewing spots.  

仕事からの帰り道、神田川と荒玉水道が交差するあたりに咲く桜。人はほとんどいない。横の運動場からの光が満開の花をきれいに照らしだす。一人静かに、夜桜が楽しめるお気に入りのスポット。

About 2 weeks ago Hydrangea Path

We are already in the rainy season, but it seems that the chance of rain is quite low for a week or so. So I decided to reedit and post a photo from last year. I'm going to visit this place again next weekend or the one after the next.

梅雨入りしたものの雨の気配はない。そういうわけで、昨年撮った写真を再編集して投稿。今週末か来週末に、またこの場所に行ってみたい。

About 3 weeks ago Zojoji Temple

Do you see a temple at the foot of Tokyo Tower? It's Zojoji Temple in Minato-ku, Tokyo. We dropped by that temple during the Googe+ First Anniversary Photo Walk last year. It was one of the unforgettable events in 2012. This year, we are having the second anniversary photo walk. The walk starts at Tokyo Skytree and finished at Roppongi Hill. It will be another unforgettable event, I'm sure. I hope the weather will be fine! The event page: http://bit.ly/GPlus2PWTYO

東京タワーのふもとの寺が見えるだろうか。増上寺。昨年の6月、グーグルプラスの1周年を記念して行ったフォトウォークで、あの場所を訪れた。昨年、最も心に残ったイベントのひとつ。今年の2周年は、東京スカイツリーがスタート地点。そしてゴールは六本木ヒルズとなる。興味のある方は早めの参加申し込みを。イベントページはこちら: http://bit.ly/GPlus2PWTYO

Featured in Plus Extract on May 11, 2013

We had a photo walk in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan this weekend. Because of the heavy rain, it was very hard to take pictures (we had to protect our cameras, you know). Still, I was so happy to meet more than 50 Google+ photographers! We will have to visit the city on a fine day again soon.

土曜日に写真散歩を開催。あいにくの雨。それも大雨で、思うように写真を撮ることができなくて残念だったけれども、50人以上のグーグルプラス・フォトグラファーたちに会うことができて、とても楽しかった。でも、天気のよい日に、またみんなで横浜を訪れたい。
