I recently visited Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, for a 3-day/2-night trip. I took these photos when I walked around Shiokoji-dori in front of Kyoto Station and Shijo area.
I heard that X-PRO3 has been discontinued. And the X100V is on order suspension due to component supply problems.The X-E4 is also discontinued. Fujifilm’s rangefinder style cameras looks like in a difficult situation. I hope that Fujifilm has a strategy, but from the user’s point of view, not being able to buy a camera even though it is in the lineup or not being in the lineup seems to be end.
I was so busy with work at the end of the year that I was not able to wrap up 2022 properly. The main topic of 2022 was the re-starting of my blogging activities, which had been stagnant. I made a number of changes in conjunction with these changes. – Change of blog title – Start English articles – Change of design All of the changes were made in conjunction with these changes. In addition – Starting Buy me a coffee program We have also started a new campaign, “Buy me a Coffee”. This is one of the donation services, and we would be happy if you could support our blog. We hope to continue to write articles that will leave a little something for everyone who reads them.
As we started to post more articles, the number of accesses, which had been at rock bottom, started to increase little by little (although the number of accesses is still low). Thankfully, the number of opportunities to receive “likes” has increased tremendously. Thank you very much.
The other day, I went shopping by bicycle from my home to Akihabara. On the way there and on the way back, I went around the Kuramae neighborhood, which is one of the trendy places nowadays, and I saw many new fashionable stores. I was surprised to see so many stores in such a place. I would like to take my time and visit more places next time.

Some of our favorite cafes have been lost since Corona, but new stores are also being created in spite of this. EXCELSIOR CAFE SKYTREE EAST TOWER 12F is a store that opened in 2021.
First and foremost, the view is excellent. Don’t hesitate to sit by the window to think, and when you feel like losing your concentration, the extraordinary view of downtown from high above will give you room to clear your head.
I heard that the FUJIFILM X-E4 had been discontinued. This is somewhat unexpected. Not selling well? Component problems? The X-E series is, to put it very roughly, like X-Pro and X100 added together and divided by 2, minus the OVF. Would it be more correct to say that the X100 has interchangeable lenses and no OVF?
I have the impression that the X-E series is an interchangeable lens camera that allows you to enjoy the high quality of FUJIFILM at a reasonable price. Looking at SONY, even though their digital cameras are doing well, it seems that the ability to shoot video is becoming more and more important. (The X-H2S has been very well advertised).
I can’t think of anything to write about this, but here are some pictures I took while waiting to receive “my number card”. Sunday pickup inevitably takes a long time, doesn’t it? It was long… – “my number card” is printed personal number and photo card from the Japanease government to a person. In japan this card is still not popular now, but now the government campaign to spread the “my number card” to person. The future the car license and a health insurance card will integrate to my nuber card.
