Shirahige Falls is just a 5-minute walk from the Shirogane Onsen hot spring resort in Biei, Hokkaido.

The Ashigakubo Icicles: Video Introduction This video, titled "A Spectacular View [Ashigakubo Icicles] Light-up|A Top 3 Icicle Spot in Chichibu" (絶景「あしがくぼの氷柱」ライトアップ / 秩父三大氷柱2021), was uploaded by "Deep Channel / Shigeo Fukagawa" (Deepちゃんねる / 深川栄生). The Ashigakubo Icicles are generally open to the public from early January to late February in the town of Yokoze in Chichibu, Saitama, in Japan's Kanto Region, and are known as one of the top 3 icicle spots in Chichibu. At night on weekends, the icicles are lit up, attracting many tourists from all over Japan to see the fantastic sight of the icicles changing colors in the darkness. The icicles are just a 10-minute walk from Ashigakubo Station on the Seibu Railway line, making it an easily accessible spot for tourists to stop by. You can even take pictures of the icicles with the Seibu Chichibu Line train running nearby. Enjoy the realistic video of this beautiful icy world, which can only be viewed during the cold winter months in Japan. [Video] 0:51 - The Ashigakubo Icicles and the Nearby Train The Ashigakubo Icicles – How the Must-See Winter Attraction Is Created Photo:The Ashigakubo Icicles, Chichibu, Saitama The Top 3 Icicle Spots of Chichibu, which are normally visible from mid-January to mid-February, are a symbol of winter in Chichibu, a region known for its frigid temperatures. The three icicle spots are the Ashigakubo Icicles, the Misotsuchi Icicles, and the Onouchi Icicles. While the Misotsuchi Icicles are made up of natural icicles, the Onouchi Icicles and Ashigakubo Icicles are both man-made attractions. The magnificent icicles, which make good use of Chichibu's topography, are so impressive that it'is hard to believe that they're man made. The Ashigakubo Icicles are artificially created using sprinklers on the slope of the mountain. The giant field of icicles, standing 30 meters tall and 200 meters wide, covers the entire mountainside and is truly a sight to behold. The project was initiated by local residents of Yokoze and has become a popular tourist attraction since it was opened to the public in 2014. Because the Ashigakubo icicles are man-made rather than natural, it was possible to build a boardwalk where visitors can observe the icicles up close. This allows visitors to walk along the promenade and appreciate the various views of the icicles up close, as they change in height, angle, and color. The beautifully layered icicles are a work of ice art created through the cooperation of nature and man. Highlights & Attractions at the Ashigakubo Icicles Photo:The Ashigakubo Icicle illumination, Chichibu, Saitama The Ashigakubo Icicles are lit up both during the daytime as well as at night, making it a prominent midwinter event for sightseeing in Chichibu. The illumination lasts from sunset to 8 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays during the event period. Advance web reservations are required to view the illumination on Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays. The Ashigakubo Icicle illumination slowly changes in color and intensity as it gets darker, adding to the fantastical atmosphere. The romantic view of the beautiful ice world is perfect for dates as well. We recommend enjoying the romantic view of the icicles while walking along the promenade, or from the top of the mountain overlooking the magical field of icicles. Another highlight of the event is the collaboration between the train and the icicles. If you're a photographer, or just looking to get a cool shot for Instagram, you can take an awesome photo of the train as it passes by the picturesque world of ice. [Video] 0:12 - The Ashigakubo Icicles Lit Up [Video] 0:51 - A Collaboration of the Train and Icicles Summary of the Ashigakubo Icicles Photo:Ashigakubo Station There are other places in Japan where large icicles can be seen in addition to the Ashigakubo Icicles, but they are not easy to visit due to long walks along steep paths. However, the Ashigakubo Icicles are the most accessible of the Top 3 Icicle Spots of Chichibu, and can be visited on a day trip from central Tokyo. The nearest station to the Ashigakubo Icicles is Ashigakubo Station on the Seibu Chichibu Line. It takes about 1.5 hours to reach Ashigakubo Station by train from Ikebukuro Station, and from there it's an approximately 10-minute walk. The Ashigakubo Icicles are a rare sightseeing spot where visitors can enjoy a spectacular winter view at just a train's ride from the heart of Tokyo. If you're in Japan this winter, consider visiting Chichibu for an extraordinary experience of ice and art. ◆Ice column with hollow legs◆ [Address] Daiji Ashigakubo, Yokose Town, Chichibu-Gun, Saitama Prefecture [Period] 16th to 25th February 2024 [Business Hours] Monday - Thursday 9:00-16:00 (last admission 16:00) [Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Holiday] Lighting up will be held from 17:00 to 20:00 Light-up varies depending on sunset time *Lighting up on Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays is by advance reservation (web) Day and night exchange system [Admission fee] 500 yen (over junior high school students) · 300 yen (elementary school students) [Transportation access] Seibu Chichibu Line Ashigakubo StationGet off and walk 10 minutes [Parking] Yes (free) Accept pets: Yes 【TripAdvisor】The Ashigakubo Icicles -

It shows boat trips through the rivers of Tokyo. There are a number of cruise courses on the rivers of Tokyo and in the Port of Tokyo. These courses offer fascinating scenery as seen in the video. Cruise courses along the Sumida River (隅田川, the Sumida-Gawa), the Nihonbashi River (日本橋川, Nihonbashi-Gawa), the Kanda River (神田川, Kanda-Gawa), the Meguro River (目黒川, Meguro-Gawa), and other canals are a popular way to see a different side of Tokyo.

The advantage of a cruise like the ones shown in the video is that you can get a detailed guide about the sights during the tour, which will help you better understand the attractions of Tokyo. If you're interested in enjoying a cruise in Tokyo, visit "Tokyo Mizumachi," which connects Asakusa and Tokyo Sky Tree Town, or Gotanda River Station, a pier for cruise ships. Explore the Tokyo Waterfront on a Cruise With the Video Photo:Yakatabune in Odaiba, Tokyo Tokyo's rivers and seashores are spacious, and there are a variety of cruise operations in the area. This includes waterbus "Himiko," the amphibious bus "Tokyo No Kaba," and "Sakura" of the Tokyo Waterfront Line. The boats and ferries around Tokyo offer regular courses to typical sightseeing spots, such as Harumi, Ariake, and Aomi, as well as events for special courses. The Yakatabune course with a beer garden is growing in popularity, as it allows participants to enjoy viewing the cherry blossoms at night, fireworks, and autumn leaves in the tatami room on the boat. In October 2020, an event called "Sora, Umi, Daichi Tsunagu Minato Fes 2020" (roughly "a port that connects the sky, the sea, and the earth") was held in Tokyo, and it was a great success. Summary of Tokyo Waterfront Cruising Photo:Tokyo, Cruise Ship As shown in the video, cruises in Tokyo are a fascinating activity that offer completely different scenery depending on the season and time of day.

Video introduction of “Kamogawa Noryo-doko” in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City This video, titled "Kamogawa Nouryou-Yuka & Ponto-cho|Summer in Kyoto" (鴨川納涼床と先斗町 京都の夏), was uploaded by "K Japan Traveler." Summer in Kyoto brings with it the Kamogawa Nouryou-Yuka, a relaxing riverside dining experience. For a limited time, visitors can enjoy traditional Kyoto cuisine on the riverbank in the quaint Ponto-cho area, where if you're lucky, you can also encounter maiko. In the video, you can see Kamogawa Nouryou-Yuka from Shijo Ohashi Bridge in the evening and at night, as well as the stores in Ponto-cho. Be sure to check it out. The History of the Terraces of Kyoto's Kamo River Photo:Kamo River terraces, Kyoto Kamogawa Nouryou-Yuka is one of the most popular summer traditions in Kyoto. While the terraces in Kibune are called "kawadoko," the terraces on the Kamo River are called "nouryou-yuka." The wooden platforms (eating and drinking spaces) on the right bank of the Kamo River between Nijo Ohashi Bridge and Gojo Ohashi Bridge are called "kamogawa nouryou-yuka," and each establishment offers special courses for a limited time. The history of kamogawa nouryou-yuka dates back to the reign of Toyotomi Hideyoshi after a war. The Kamo River was improved by replacing Sanjo Ohashi and Gojo Ohashi Bridge, and the area became crowded with peddlers. Later, in the Edo period (1603-1868 A.D.), many teahouses were built along the Kamo River. It is said that the first teahouses were built along the Kamo River, where wealthy merchants laid out benches with tables to entertain their guests who came from distant places so that they could enjoy the cool of the evening. When is Kyoto Kamogawa Noryokoyoko 2024? Photo:Kamo River terraces, Kyoto Kamogawa Noryokoko is associated with summer, but it is held every year from May.

The cause of this is noctiluca scintillans, aka sea sparkles. Unlike sea fireflies, sea sparkles emit blue light in response to physical stimuli. Therefore, whenever they are stimulated by waves, large numbers of sea sparkles begin to glow. During the day, when there's a red tide in the bay and a strong southward wind blows, there's a high probability of seeing sea sparkles.

Tons of Fun To Be Had During a Summer Trip To Kyoto! This video, titled "[4K]Kyoto summer JAPAN 京都の夏 観光 旅行 五山 送り火 灯篭流し 清水寺 鴨川 納涼床 風物詩 川床 Festival August Trip Visiting Guide," was published by Discover Nippon. Kyoto is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Japan and is an ancient capital that has been around for more than 1,000 years. Kyoto, being a basin, gets very hot during summer! However, it's exactly because of Kyoto's harsh summers that there are many summer poems and cool spots that you can enjoy in the ancient capital. In this article, we'll introduce some of Kyoto’s summer traditions alongside a high-resolution video! Cool off Along Kyoto's Kamo River on the Way To Arashiyama Photo:Pontocho, Kyoto On days when it's so hot you start sweating just lying about, taking a stroll along the Kamo River to Arashiyama (嵐山, Arashiyama) is a great way to cool off and is a popular sightseeing route. There are many restaurants along the riverbank that offer platforms to cool off over the Kamo River, and we recommend enjoying a delicious lunch while soaking up the negative ions. This can be seen from 5:48 in the video. After that, consider checking out Arashiyama, one of the most popular tourist spots in Kyoto, and enjoy Togetsukyo Bridge (渡月橋, Togetsukyo) and other popular tourist spots in Kyoto? Gozan Okuribi - One of the Main Attractions of Kyoto During Summer Photo:Gozan Okuribi, Kyoto When it comes to summer in Japan, Obon is one of the most celebrated festivals. Gozan Okuribi has been designated an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan by the city of Kyoto as an important Bon event to send off ancestors to Buddhist paradise. The festival is nicknamed "Daimonji-yaki" (大文字焼き) because on August 16, during the sending off of ancestors during the Bon Festival, the character "大" meaning "big" (pronounced “dai”) is lit on Higashiyama after the sun goes down. Following Higashiyama, the characters "妙" and "法" (wondrous dharma, referring to Buddhism) are lit on Matsugasaki, a fire resembling a boat is lit on Nishigamo, and another "大" is lit on Kita Daisen. Lanterns then float down the river, illuminating the beautiful summer nightscape of Kyoto. This can be seen from 8:15 in the video. If You’re Visiting Kyoto in Early Spring, We Recommend the Goryo Festival Source :YouTube screenshot Shown at 3:33 in the video is the Goryo Festival (御陵祭り). This festival is held at Goryo Shrine, which is said to be the birthplace of the Goryo faith practiced in various parts of Japan. Since 2009, the parade of portable shrines through the city has been revived, making early summer sightseeing in Kyoto even more exciting! The Gion Festival - The Most Popular Event in Kyoto During the Hot Summer Months Photo:The Gion Festival, Kyoto The Gion Festival (祇園祭, Gion Matsuri), one of the three major festivals of Japan, is an event that heralds the arrival of summer in Kyoto. It's no exaggeration to say that Kyoto is consumed by the Gion Festival in July. The Gion Festival is a traditional festival held at Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto. The climax of the festival is Yamaboko Junko, a parade of floats through the city, held on July 17 and 24. On this day, many tourists dress up in kimono or yukata and enjoy the beautiful and majestic Yamaboko floats as they parade through the city. On the day of Yamaboko Junko, many travel agencies offer special tatami room dinner plans for tourists. When It Comes To Kyoto, the Temples and Shrines Are a Must-See! Photo:Ryozen Gokoku Shrine, Kyoto Touring shrines and temples is an essential part of sightseeing in the ancient capital of Kyoto, a place where one can feel the history in the air. Here we'll introduce a tour of temples and shrines in Kyoto that you can visit at night during the hot summer, as seen in the video. ・Kyoto Ryozen Gokoku Shrine (京都霊山護国神社, Kyoto Ryozen Gokoku Jinja) (video 3:35-) Kyoto Ryozen Gokoku Shrine is a shrine dedicated to the spirits of the dead, and during the Mitama Festival, the shrine is lit up with many lanterns to welcome the spirits of the dead. ・Kiyomizudera Temple (清水寺, Kiyomizudera) (video 4:45-) In the summer, Kiyomizudera Temple hosts "Sennichi-mairi," a thousand-day pilgrimage where you can accumulate the virtue of a thousand days by visiting the temple for just one. On this day, there is also a special "Yoi-mairi" event that allows visitors to visit Kiyomizudera Temple at night making the temple bustling with visitors all day long. Gourmet Food in Kyoto You Don't Want To Miss When Sightseeing! Photo:Japanese sweets Kyoto is a city where you can enjoy a variety of gourmet foods from all over the country, but this time I want to recommend some gourmet spots between Nijo Dori and Gojo Dori. The area is lined with popular Kyoto kaiseki restaurants, international cuisine, and famous Japanese confectionery shops. Summary of Summer Sightseeing in Kyoto Photo:Kaju-ji Temple, Kyoto Kyoto is a popular tourist destination with many sightseeing spots, such as temples, shrines, and rich natural scenery that attract tourists all year round. The beautiful green maple leaves at Kifune Shrine (貴船神社, Kifune Jinja), "Kyo no Tanabata" at Nijo Castle, and the lotus blossoms at Kaju-ji Temple (勧修寺, Kajuji), a place famous for its cherry blossoms, are all places that you won't want to miss during your summer sightseeing adventure in Kyoto. In Kyoto, the roads are laid out in a grid formation, a remnant of Heian-kyo (平安京, Heian-Kyo), and the entire city is seemingly one massive tourist destination. During the harsh summer months, it's popular to take a one-day tour of Kyoto's sightseeing spots on a rickshaw with a sunshade, as you can see at 1:37 in the video. -

Kyoto is the most popular destination in Japan for viewing the autumn leaves. The best time to enjoy the breathtaking autumn foliage in Kyoto is from mid-November to early December, which is also the most popular season of the year. This 4K video was shot at popular places for viewing autumn leaves in Kyoto during the peak of the season in 2020. The video introduces six of the most popular places to view the autumn leaves in Kyoto, including Eikando Temple, Tofukuji Temple, Rurikoin Temple, Kiyomizudera, Mt. Hiei, and Hogon-in Temple. The beautiful sight of maples and various other trees changing to shades of red, orange, and yellow is truly amazing. Be sure to check out the video to see some of the best places to view the autumn leaves in Kyoto, Japan. When to See the Autumn Leaves at Kyoto's Famous Temples Photo:Autumn in Kyoto, Japan Kyoto is known for having many tourist attractions where you can view the beautiful autumn leaves, and its many temples are some of the best places to do just that. However, since the best time to view the leaves differs from area to area, it's a good idea to check in advance before visiting a temple. In this issue, we will introduce the highlights of the six autumn foliage spots featured in the video, as well as the best time to view the autumn leaves. Breathtaking Autumn Foliage at Kiyomizudera Photo:Autumn Leaves at Kiyomizudera, Kyoto, Japan Kiyomizudera is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Kyoto, Japan. The autumn leaves begin to appear on the temple grounds around mid-November, and the best time to view the autumn leaves is from late November to early December. The sight of approximately 1,000 maples in various shades of red, orange, and yellow is simply stunning. During the peak of the season, many people from both around Japan and abroad visit Kiyomizudera to enjoy the magnificent autumn leaves. Kiyomizudera has a special nighttime viewing and illumination event when the autumn foliage is at its best as well. Unlike the brightly colored leaves illuminated by the sun, the orange glow of the illuminated leaves creates a fantastic atmosphere on the temple grounds at night. You can enjoy also view the autumn leaves from different perspectives depending on where at the temple you view the from. The combination of the autumn leaves with the large platform at Kiyomizudera and the three-storied pagoda is sure to make for some excellent photography that will trend on Instagram. [Video] 6:35 - Kiyomizudera Tofukuji Temple – Autumn Leaves at the Popular Temple in Kyoto Photo:Autumn leaves at Tofukuji Temple, Kyoto, Japan Tofukuji Temple is a temple that regularly ranks among the best places for viewing autumn leaves in Kyoto. The best time to view the autumn leaves at Tofukuji Temple is from mid-November to early December, and on November 23, which is Labor Thanksgiving Day each year in Japan. Many tourists visit in the fall to see the autumn leaves, and the temple can be quite crowded when the illumination is taking place. If you want to avoid the crowds, we recommend visiting early in the morning on a weekday. The main attraction of Tofukuji Temple is Tsutenkyo Bridge that connects the main hall and Kaisando Hall. Underneath the bridge is a colorful valley called Sengyokukan, and the spectacular view created by the historic architecture and the magnificent carpet of autumn leaves is beautiful beyond words. The autumn leaves at Gaunkyo Bridge, which resemble a sea of clouds, and Hojo Teien, a garden with a checkered pattern, are 2 must-see attractions. [Video] 5:01 - Tofukuji Temple A Must-See Autumn Illumination at Eikando Temple Photo:Eikando Temple, Kyoto, Japan Eikando Temple, one of the many famous places for autumn leaves in Kyoto, is in fact so famous for its autumn leaves, that a poem was written about it in the Kokin Wakashu, a collection of early waka poetry dating back more than 1,000 years. The best time to view the autumn leaves at Eikando Temple is during the short period from mid-late November. The highlight of Eikando Temple is the fantastic sight of the colorful leaves enveloping a pagoda, which is located at the highest point of the temple's grounds. Approximately 3,000 maple trees decorate the pond garden and the pagoda, creating lovely views around the area. Don't miss the illumination and exhibition events that take place in autumn as well. The events allow visitors to appreciate valuable temple treasures that are designated as Important Cultural Heritages, and that are not usually available for viewing. We recommend taking an evening stroll through the illuminated precincts of the temple, Amida Hall, and the garden. The exhibition and the illumination events have different entrance times and a separate entrance fee is charged for each. [Video] 3:24 - Eikando Temple Rurikoin Temple – A Reflection of Autumn Leaves on the Floor Photo:Rurikoin Temple, Kyoto, Japan The autumn leaves at Rurikoin Temple have been attracting a great deal of attention in recent years, especially on social media. The highlight of Rurikoin Temple is the popular sight of the autumn leaves filling the windows on the second floor of the shoin (study) and the reflection of the autumn leaves on the floors. Photos of the autumn leaves here have gone viral on social media, and Rurikoin has become one of Kyoto's most popular places to view the autumn leaves. The best time to view the autumn leaves at Rurikoin Temple is from late November to early December. The period from November 1 to December 4 is a pre-reservation viewing period, so reservations must be made on or after October 10 through Rurikoin's official website. Since the number of visitors is limited by advance reservation, visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves at their leisure. [Video] 9:14 - Rurikoin Temple Hogon-in Temple – A Hidden Gem in Kyoto Photo:Hogon-in Temple's autumn illumination Hogon-in Temple is one of the pagoda temples of Tenryuji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Arashiyama, Kyoto, and is open to the public only on special occasions in the spring and fall. The highlight of Hogon-in Temple is Shishiku Garden (lit. "Lion's Roar Garden"), a popular spot for photography. In the spring, it's a great place to enjoy the fresh greenery of the maple trees. The best time to view the autumn leaves at Hogon-in Temple is from mid-November to early December. A special autumn viewing and a nighttime illumination is held in conjunction with this period. Consider taking a leisurely tour of the garden while admiring the fantastic autumn leaves. [Video] 13:27 - Hogon-in Temple The Quaint Autumn Leaves of Enryakuji Temple, on Mt. Hiei Photo:Mt. Hiei, Shiga, Japan Mt. Hiei, which straddles the border between Shiga and Kyoto prefectures, is home to Enryakuji Temple, the head temple of the Tendai sect of Buddhism, and the entire mountain is designated as a temple area. The autumn leaves on Mt. Hiei begin to appear around mid-October, a little earlier than places at lower elevations, and the best time to view them is from late October to mid-November. Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei is the collective name for three areas: To-do (the eastern pagoda), Sai-to (the western pagoda), and Yokawa. All areas offer spectacular views, but the To-do area is particularly popular. This area is known as the birthplace of Enryakuji Temple, where the Buddhist monk Saicho founded Enryakuji Temple, and Konpon Chu-do, the main hall of the temple, is designated as a National Treasure. The view from the high elevation of Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei and the peaceful mountain atmosphere are unparalleled. [Video] 11:43 - Mt. Hiei Summary of Famous Places to View the Autumn Leaves in Kyoto In Kyoto during autumn, visitors can enjoy the colorful autumn leaves along with historic buildings and elegant cityscapes. In addition to the places introduced here, there are many other places famous for their autumn foliage, including Arashiyama, one of the most popular sightseeing spots in Kyoto, famous for its bamboo forest. Even within Kyoto City, the best time to view the autumn leaves varies from place to place, so it's important to double-check the latest information in advance. We hope this article gave you some ideas on places to view the autumn leaves in Kyoto! 【TripAdvisor】Kyoto, Japan -
