Now the year 2025 is going to end. Let me look back the year by photos

January: I was living in the residence for foreign teachers. This photo shows what I put on steamed rice. It’s “Furikake” in Japanese.

February: I had been in my house in Japan during winter break. It seems that there was a lot of snow fall at that time.

March: The spring semester had started at the time of this photo. There was still ice on the surface of the pond in the campus.

April: Some plum flowers were blooming in the campus.

May: Iris flowers around the pond

June: When I was in the campus, I cooked all the meals myself except lunches in weekend. This is a typical dish which I ate for weekend lunch.

July: Though the final examination had ended, I was still in the campus, cleaning the room, and packing my belongings into suitcases to come back to my country, Japan.

August: Summer in this year was quite heated. This photo was taken on the way to a mobile phone shop.

September: Rice were becoming yellow at the beginning of September. Some were already harvested, and some were still green.

October: Japan’s “Susuki” and “Tall goldenrod” from foreign country were competing each other.

November: Iide mountains of altitude of 2000 meters had got snow.

December: Snow has come to low altitude area of Niigata.
