This photograph captures the moment immediately after a Watase Valley Railway train passed through the peach blossoms. The railroad crossing gates had just begun to open, and a quiet stillness hung in the air, hinting at the end of spring. At Kobe Station in spring, a beautiful scene unfolds where Watase Valley Railway trains meet the peach blossoms in full bloom. The area around the station, dyed in deep pink, looks like a scene from a movie.Waiting for the moment the train arrives or departs to press the shutter creates a single frame full of movement and color. It is a place where stillness and dynamism coexist.
