Crescent on the sea,
Golden dusk kisses green hills,
Quiet harbors dream.
月に抱かれ、
黄金の夕暮れが
緑の丘を吻ぶ。静かな港が夢見る。

Turquoise waves whisper,
Gray sands meet lush green hillside,
Sky`s vast canopy.
ターコイズの波、
緑が丘に灰砂、
空の大広間。

Steel whispers under one light—

Whispers of water cascade,
Bridge hugs nature`s grace.

Torii gates stand tall,
Whispered tales in dappled light,
Painted stones speak life.
鳥居そびえ
語りかける木漏れ日
彩る石たち

Rust red stands so bold,
Gentle cats weave through the grey,
Peace in urban hues.
