Hodogaya Ward Official Instagram Photo Contest 2024
Last Updated December 5, 2024
Voting starts! Let's decide together! Grand Prize
For the 100th anniversary of Hodogaya Ward System to reach in 2027 (Reiwa 9), we held a photo contest utilizing Instagram as an opportunity to rediscover various attractions in the city and recruited works.
This time, we will vote on 10 works selected by the judge, photographer Naoko Nakaso, who lives in Hodogaya, and determine the highest award.
In addition, during the voting period, exhibitions will be held at five locations in the city. We look forward to hearing from you!
10 works selected by the judges
1 Nishitani 2-chome slope
■Photographer comment
I like the slope of Hodogaya Ward. Famous is around Gontazaka and Beerzaka, but I believe that "an unexpected view is waiting at the end of the unnamed slope."
This photo was taken on a hill in the Nishiya area on the evening of a summer day. There is an elevated Shinkansen in Nishiya (in the photo, the left side of the green sign of Maruetsu), and if you're lucky, you can see Dr. Yellow!
2 At Matsubara Shopping Street Night Bazaar
■Photographer comment
A ghost who came to play at the Halloween night in the shopping street where many people are excited.
Which one should I choose in front of the confectionery shop? I called out to a ghost who was worried and took a picture!
"I want ghosts and balloons, and I'm looking forward to Halloween night!" I took a picture with the image.
3 Yokohama Business Park Berryni Hill
■Photographer comment
The healing space in the center of the business park! I'm looking forward to Christmas limited illuminations.
In the work, orange and blue are cut in half, conscious of the curve of the building, and the reflection of the tree and Danna appear in silhouette! I tried to put the window during work in comparison.
Wonderful ♡ Where? I want to go! I'd be happy if you think about it.
4 Bamboo shoot digging in Kawajima-cho
■Photographer comment
To dig bamboo shoots hosted by Care Plaza.
The first experience of the whole family.
When I dug the bamboo shoot that my daughter chose, it was big and surprised.
We were able to harvest a lot and enjoyed the bamboo shoot dishes.
My daughter likes bamboo shoot rice.
The charm of Hodogaya is that it is kind to the child-rearing generation.
There are many events where you can participate with your children, so you can experience various things and I think you live in a really good place.
5 Furumachi Bridge on Summer Day
■Photographer comment
Sunday in August, when white clouds were floating around the deep blue summer sky. Looking at the direction of Minato Mirai from the top of the bridge, a huge white cloud was spreading in front of me.
What is there at the end of this cloud?…
6 Residents' Festival at Hodogaya Park
■Photographer comment
I was born and raised in Hodogaya Ward.
A baby was born in May of this year, and I visited a large park called Hodogaya Park for the first time with a new family in the wake of the festival!
This photo is a photo taken unintentionally because the children dance happily along with the performance of the music band is so cute.
Through the festival, I once again felt that Hodogaya Ward was a very easy place to raise children.
7 Early Spring Hodogaya Park
■Photographer comment
Hodogaya Park is famous for its cherry blossoms of Yoshino cherry trees, but along the brook, there are also early blooming Kawazu cherry trees. During the chilly season, white-eye and bulbuls are invited by flower nectar. They fly from flowers to flowers, so they can't take good shots.
This photo is a photo that was finally taken with stickiness in such a situation.
8 Hoshikawa Sugiyama Shrine in the fresh green season
■Photographer comment
Hoshikawa Sugiyama Shrine sits on a hill in Hodogaya Ward. When you visit the sacred precincts, surrounded by rich greenery and full of natural energy, you will feel like you are purified both physically and mentally.
I worship all year round, but I like to visit during the fresh green season, where green carp streamers are displayed on the grounds where the pleasant breeze blows through.
9 Bon Dance Festival at Nishikubocho Park
■Photographer comment
It was the first Bon Dance Festival for a daughter who loves to dance, and I took it during a break between songs.
For my daughter, who is only two years old at that time, even if I dance, I can flutter my hand up and down and flutter.
Still, when I wanted to dance early, I felt the growth of my daughter and the goodness of Bon Odori in my eyes staring at the next song now or now.
10 Hiddenbo in Tennocho
■Photographer comment
This is one photo taken on the way back from the nursery school, when I was doing hide-and-seek in the usual park.
Where are you? If you're looking for it, it's okay. I heard the voice of Hydrangea in full bloom.
I found it! When I called out, the girl who looked into her face from the hydrangea was cute, so I quickly released the shutter!
