Japanese people like drinking under cherry trees in spring. Sensuikyo Valley on the northern slope of Aso central cone is famous for Miyamakirishima communities. It looks like beautiful red carpets. Women with white cloth walking in rice fields bring us the real feeling of summer in Aso district. Although each flower is so small, the buckwheat field in full bloom is very beautiful.
Autumn comes shortly after the bloom of buckwheat.
There are some cosmos fields in areas between Aso and Kuju volcanoes, central Kyushu. The cosmos flowers in full bloom are very beautiful. Many families enjoy their picnic in the fields. The background of the photograph is central cones of Aso volcano situated southwest of Kuju volcano. A big Christmas tree is beautifully decorated in the center of Union Square, downtown San Francisco during holiday season.
