Although Ose Myojin’s Kamiike Pond is located at the tip of a cape, it's a fresh water pond, and fresh water fish, such as carp, call this pond home. It is said that Mt. Fuji’s underground water pours into Ose Myojin’s Kamiike Pond, but the mystery of Ose Myojin’s Kamiike Pond has yet to be solved. The water quality and depth are also unknown. Let’s Visit Ose Shrine in Osezaki! Photo：Osezaki and Ose Shrine Around the Osezaki Kamiike Pond are many large juniper trees with thick foliage. Osezaki’s juniper forest has been designated a Natural Monument. Hikitechikara no Mikoto (Ose Shrine) seen in the video at 1:14, is located at the peak of Osezaki, with an elevation of approximately 10m, and is called the protectorate god of the sea.

Sightseeing Around Osezaki’s Kamiike Pond Photo：Clownfish Around the scenic Osezaki is the Ose beach, which is one of Japan’s “Top 100 Beaches.” Spending time listening to the waves and taking in the sunset is very relaxing.

Fuji. There are many sightseeing spots in Izu, book a hotel nearby and visit Osezaki. In the spring time, cherry blossoms bloom nearby as well.

Seeing the blood red hot springs and hearing the name "Blood Pond of Hell" might cause some readers fear. Well before you get too scared let us explain what kind of place Oita's Chinoike Jigoku is. Be sure to follow along with the video! Chinoike Jigoku Photo：Beppu's hot springs at night There are many famous hot spring resorts in Japan. Among them, Beppu City in Oita Prefecture in Japan's Kyushu region is the most abundant in Japan in terms of both the sheer number of hot springs and the amount of water that flows from the springs. Beppu onsen is one of the most popular tourist spots in Japan. Even regular city hotels have natural hot springs here. Chinoike Jigoku, located in the Beppu area, is a natural hell with a distinctive red hot spring. It has a long history and has existed in Beppu for over 1,300 years. Take a tour of Chinoike Jigoku and the surrounding area to enjoy the charm of this unique Japanese hot spring. Must See Spots and Key Points of Chinoike Jigoku Photo：Chinoike Jigoku Once you go through the gate, Jigoku mon (lit. "Hells Gate"), the first thing you'll see is the vivid red springs. The spring is shown from 0:56 in the video, and if you've never seen it before, you'll be really surprised at how red it actually is. Chinoike Jigoku looks like a pool of boiling hot blood as it bubbles and steams. This acidic melanterite spring is around 78 degrees Celsius. Why is the spring so red you might be wondering. This is because red hot mud, containing an abundance of magnesium oxide and iron oxide, erupts from the geological strata after a chemical reaction occurs naturally under high temperature and pressure underground. There is also a footbath at Chinoike Jigoku where you can dip your feet in the red hot water. After sightseeing, we recommend buying a souvenir called "血の池軟膏" (Blood Pond Ointment), a skin disease remedy made from the hot mud of Chinoike Jigoku.

Though a hidden spot, it's known to have cherry blossoms every bit as beautiful as those in the main park. The snow-tipped peaks of the Kiso Mountains can be seen from 0:36 to 1:55 in the video. As Ina City is located at a high altitude surrounded by mountains, the cherry blossoms bloom slightly later than most other regions.

Hashihaka Kofun This is the online video "Visit the History Books - Nihon Shoji - Nara / Hashihaka Kofun（史書を訪ねて　「日本書記」　奈良・箸墓古墳）" produced by the Yomiuri Shimbun. It introduces the oldest burial mound in Japan, found in Nara Prefecture in the Kansai region. The Hashihaka Kofun is a repellent round tumulus that is over 200 meters long. Hashihaka Kofun is said to have been built in the late 3rd century, between the Yayoi period (c. 300 BC to c. 250 C.E.) to the Kofun period (c. 350 to C.C. 700). The Imperial Household Agency manages it as the tomb of Emperor Korei's daughter and therefore, entry is forbidden. The greenery covering Hashihaka Kofun has been designated as a natural scenic monument of the historical site, and the surrounding moat has been selected as one of the top 100 reservoirs in Japan. Feel the atmosphere of the mysterious Hashihaka Kofun from the video. The Oldest Keyhole-Shaped Tomb Source :YouTube screenshot According to the Nihon Shoki (Chronicles of Japan), Hashihaka Kofun is said to be the tomb of the daughter of Emperor Korei. It is also said that there are similarities between the queen of Yamatai, Himiko, who is described in literature such as Gishi Wajinden. Some researchers have argued that there has been controversy over the birth of the Yamato kingship and the position of the Hashihaka Kofun. As you can see from 0:54 in the video, the Municipal Burial Culture Center in Sakurai City, stores a plate-shaped "Shibayama Stone" excavated near Hashihaka Kofun. Shibayama stone is believed to have been used to build the stone chamber, and it is said that it was taken from basalt excavated in Kashiwara City, Osaka Prefecture, about 18 km west of Hashihaka Kofun. In addition, many excavated items such as earthenware and wooden products have been confirmed. Muon survey of Hashihaka Kofun Source :YouTube screenshot In the past, archaeological / historical researchers and others have entered Hashihaka Kofun with permission from the Imperial Household Agency, but the mystery of Hashihaka Kofun has not been clarified. In 2012, a three-dimensional laser measuring device mounted on a helicopter was used, revealing a detailed portrait. Also, in January 2020, Kashihara Archaeological Research Institute, which studies Hashihaka Kofun, announced that it would investigate the internal structure from outside using elementary particles called "muon" that penetrate substances. Attention is being paid as to whether future research results will lead to the unraveling of Hashihaka Kofun. According to many years of research, Hashihaka Kofun is said to be a rare burial mound in Japan, with no traces of invasion from tomb raiders. Summary of Hashihaka Kofun Photo：Sakurai Line In this article, we introduced Hashihaka Kofun. There is a group of ancient tombs in the center of Machiko, located mainly at Hashihaka Kofun in Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture. Access to Hashihaka Kofun is a 15-minute walk from Makimukai Station on the JR Sakurai Line. There is also a parking lot. Is it really Himiko's tomb?

Tourist Information for Viewing the Autumn Colors in Hakkoda and the Tsugaru Plains in Aomori This tourism promotional video (made by JAPAN GEOGRAPHIC) highlights the renowned autumn foliage in Hakkoda. Although Japan boasts many scenic sites to practice the traditional autumn foliage viewing, one of the 100 most beautiful Japanese mountains, Mt.Hakkoda has been very popular for the viewing of autumn colors in the countryside. The breathtaking view of autumn foliage reflected on the lake surface attracts a great number of visitors. The video navigates us through the beauty of autumn-colored Hakkoda which often appears on well-known travel sites or TV programs, and also has been a regular winner of the ranking of places in Japan to see autumn colors. Autumn leaves are best seen on a sunny day. The sunlight makes the red and yellow leaves shine. Winter comes early up in the north in Aomori. Such meteorological conditions give leaves vibrant colors. The video captures the spectacular color display in Hakkoda. Hakkoda: From Hot Springs to Beautiful Autumn Foliage Photo：Kenashitai Wetlands dyed in autumn colors Some hiking trails are maintained in Hakkoda so that hikers can take in the splendid autumn color display in the clear air, or enjoy the sounds of walking through the deciduous forests on a carpet of fallen leaves. Aomori Prefecture features many renowned hot springs. Staying at an Onsen Ryokan located in the area such as Sugayu Onsen (a very charming old-fashioned onsen hotel), Jogakura Onsen, or Tsuta Onsen will make your trip even more special. The recommended hiking route is an excellent 5-hour circular walking trail that starts and ends at Sugayu Onsen. The route takes you up to Mt. Otake and leads to the vast marshlands of Kenashitai. As plenty of visitors are expected during the peak of the autumn colors, it is better to book your room in advance. The Best Sightseeing Spots in Hakkoda Source :YouTube screenshot Aomori is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Japan. When it gets a color makeover from the autumn foliage, places like Mt. Hakkoda, Oirase Gorge, Zenkojidaira, Mutsu Bay or Jyogakura Oohashi are filled with tourists hunting for vibrant colors. Look at the breathtaking autumn vistas at Jigokunuma starting at 0:50! The red tinge with yellow, and vivid orange hues.... The stunningly beautiful color display is made mainly of Beech, Japanese rowan trees (nanakamado) and maple trees. "Tsutanuma Lake" (from 1:20 -) laying at the foot of Mt. Hakkoda is a hidden gem of the area. With the red leaves floating on the water, the lake has a mysterious beauty. The image of Lake Towada reflecting the mountains of autumn colors on its surface (from 1:42) is something you never get tired of looking at it. This explains why it is a photographers' dream destination. The symbolic scenery of the turning of autumn leaves contrasted with the water's surface is a magnet that pulls tourists back to this location. A Walk in the Sky With Hakkoda Ropeway Photo：Mt. Hakkoda, Ropeway The nighttime illumination during the autumn season allows visitors to admire the colors of autumn foliage from the sky until late hours. The approximately 10-minute sky walk in a gondola takes you up to the summit of Mt. Tamoyashidake offering you a look out of the colorful autumn mountains.
