Shiojiri, Kazuma

These are my masks and my parents’ masks. I chose this topic because there are many types of masks in my home.

Takeshita, Sora

These are my favorite masks. I chose the topic because we live in a time when many people wear masks. I chose these masks because they have two wires and are easy to put on. Wearing a mask can fog up glasses, but it is convenient to attach a nose pad to the mask so that the glasses do not fog up. 3

Kambara, Minako

This photo is of the night view taken from Mt. Hakodate in Hokkaido in 2019. I chose this topic because it reminded me of this photo. I chose this photo because I though this place was so attractive that I wanted to go to there again and see this night view. 4

Nishikawa, Taiyo

The scenery was wonderful. ② & ③ is of Kurashiki Scenic Area. Both rice cakes and Japanese umbrellas were very cute and beautiful. ④ is a Demikatsudon, a famous food of Okayama. I ate it for the first time, and was surprised at the good combination of pork cutlet and demigrace sauce. You should check out!

Abe, Takumi

I usually use these masks a lot. Especially, I often use the mask on the left side. These masks fit my face well and are very easy to use. Also, this mask doesn’t hurt my ears. I hate masks because my face gets stuffy. So I hope the day will come when I don’t have to wear masks anymore. 8

Yamamoto, Koki

This photo is of the Tottori Sand Dune Sand Museum. I chose this photo because I want to introduce the museum where the sand statues in Tottori are exhibited, which is one of the attractions of my hometown, Tottori. 9

Yoshitomi, Miki

This photo is of Smalter Museum in Inujima, Okayama prefecture. The museum was preserved and rebuilt. The retro atmosphere is very good. Also, the Setouchi Triennale is held here in Inujima, where you can see the works of various artists from around the world. When you go to Inujima, you can see various things and you can enjoy it very much. That’s why I chose Inujima.

Yamashita, Ai

The tourist attraction that I want to introduce is Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. This is a shrine in Fukuoka prefecture, and it is famous for enshrining Sugawara no Michizane, who is the god of learning. The reason why I chose this tourist attraction is that Fukuoka is my hometown. So I am familiar with the place. 11

Nail sticker: You don’t need time to dry the nail sticker because you just stick them on your nails and shape them. You can do nails when you feel like it without scraping them. Moreover, it is easy to remove because you just warm your fingertips up in hot water and peel them off. Nail polish remover is not needed, so you can reduce the damage to your nails. They’re easy to use.

This is an artificial waterfall with a of 35 meters drop that flow down from Cloud Mountain in the Cloud Forest.
