It's the season when you can see the reflection of water in the rice fields of Aomori and Tsugaru.

In the Tsugaru region, water fills the rice fields from mid-May, and rice planting begins. Currently, there are a series of posts, mainly by locals, of photographs that make use of the water mirror of the paddy field.

Masayuki Igarashi, whose hobby is posting photos on social media with a camera he received as a gift for his retirement, often wakes up early in the season and takes pictures of Mt. "In the early morning, there is no wind and the surface of the water is not disturbed. I hope that some people will be able to heal their hearts even just a little by seeing the clear momentary beauty."

The photo posted by Igarashi on May 12th was taken after waking up at 4:00 am. "It's finally the season to take reflections of Mt. Iwaki, which I love. I'm happy to receive comments from people saying that there are various expressions in the photos of Mt.

The Twitter account "Shimo" has been taking pictures of the Tsugaru Katsuyuki Dome (Karakasa, Goshogawara City) reflected in the rice paddies every year for the past three years. "It all started when my son told me, 'If you shoot the dome, you'll become Pac-Man.'

It is said that there is a chance to shoot when the dome is open at night when there is no wind. "The dome is not open every day, so I'll go to the site when the lights are on. I want people outside of the local area to enjoy taking pictures of things in the neighborhood, not just tourist spots, through social media," he said. .

Six years ago, on his way home from work, the Twitter account "Marume Tamon" has been taking pictures of trains and sunsets reflected in paddy fields from near Kashiwanoukomae Station (Arata, Hirakawa City) on the Konan Railway Konan Line. “At first, I wasn’t focusing on water mirrors, but shooting sunsets, trains, and Mt. Mr. Tamon Marume.

“This year, the wind is strong and I don’t have many photo opportunities, but the number of people who come to see it is increasing day by day, and the number of posts on social media is also increasing. Every year, even the locals are moved by the fact that there is such a view so close to them.”
