A wonderful photo of two young people riding a motorcycle. The young person sitting in the back seat appears to be a foreigner. Perhaps an international student learning about Japanese culture. This ride likely became an unforgettable summer memory for the two of them.

This photo features the Koto River Bridge in Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and a train running on the Ube Line with its distinctive yellow body. The train stands out against the backdrop of the blue sea, lush greenery, and summer sky with towering clouds, representing summer beautifully. The composition, with the train as the protagonist, is truly remarkable.
