Small, tranquil headwaters of the Hikichi River framed by forest and neighborhood greenery — intimate stream shots, close-up textures of moss, stones and reflections, and seasonal colors (fresh spring greens, autumn maples). Easy urban access in Yamato; short walk from local streets, limited roadside parking. Visit early morning or late afternoon for soft side-light and minimal people. Respect private properties and local residents.
