This looks like a really cool place to visit in Yamanashi if you're heading over to Mt. Fuji or the five lakes. Apparently this place (Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba) was destroyed by a landslide caused by a typhoon in the 60s but was rebuilt some 40 years later. Looks like there's a bunch of stuff to do as well: museums, galleries, craft making experiences, etc. I'm curious as to whether or not the thatched roofs are constructed the same way as the Gassho-zukuri roofs of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, as they look very similar. I bet it'd look really nice in the winter when it snows and there's also cherry blossoms in the area so that'd be nice for visiting in the spring. Looks fun!

Lined with thatched-roof houses overlooking Mt. Fuji, a World Heritage Site
"West Lake Healing Village".

There is no doubt that you will be healed by the original scenery of the Japan.

What an amazing view, catching the sunrise just perfectly between the clouds. I really want to visit Zao as I know that it's amazing all year round and it'd be cool to go during the winter since you can go skiing and snowboarding but it'd be great to go during the spring or summer when there's no snow to go hiking and see places like this as well. Okama Crater is really beautiful and I can imagine it looks even more amazing in person. It's too bad there aren't any fish in the crater due to the acidity but that's a cool aspect in and of itself too. The crater is actually a lot higher in elevation than I originally thought; never seen it with a sea of clouds before.

Wow, this is so cool. It's crazy that the ground is so shiny here that you can see the cherry blossoms reflecting off the ground. This temple seems like it'd be amazing t visit at night. I wonder how the stars look from here. If you could see them from here that'd make this a 10/10 lol. I'm not actually sure what temple this is, but Japan has so many amazing temples that are like this and they just have some of the most amazing architecture and views. I'll still never forget the first time I went to Kiyomizudera and was just blown away by not only the scale of the temple, but the architecture and history that you could feel just by being there. Might visit a temple over golden week, we'll see. Gotta find out where this is at too!

Gorgeous photo! I want to visit the Tottori Sand Dunes so badly. There was a photo of them going around the internet a while back with the covered in snow. It's such a strange concept to me having snow on sand. I, and probably most people as well, generally associate sand dunes and deserts with hot weather so it's really sort of fantastical. I've still never actually experienced that in person, and I lived relatively close to a beach most my life. It always got cold there but didn't snow much, or if it did I just wasn't going anywhere near it I suppose lol. The San'in Region is supposed to be full of really amazing natural scenery though so it seems like it'd be a cool place to visit during the summer or even for golden week or something.
