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!

A sunset that I want to go back to someday. Chiba Prefecture, Egawa Coast ?

Nishihama Beach on Hateruma Island. It was the most beautiful sea I've ever seen. When Corona settles down and I have the opportunity to visit again, I want to stay here without thinking about anything all day.

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.

We went to the beach where cars could run. Ishikawa Prefecture, Senrihama Nagisa Driveway. I went with my family, but I want to experience this superb view again! Japan I didn't think it was a sea view, I felt like I was in another world!

This is the evening view of YOKOHAMA AIR CABIN. The ropeway of Minato Mirai has begun.

It is a bridge pile rock located in Higashimuro District, Wakayama Prefecture. First of all, it was large, and then it was more than 800 meters long, and I felt the grandeur of nature! When Corona settles down, I want to go see it again.

Toji Spring Light Up ?

Shooting location: Kagoshima Prefecture Kirishima Town Hayato Town Kareigawa Station The station building is the oldest in the prefecture and is a registered tangible cultural property. It is an unmanned station where limited express stops, which is rare in Japan. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom on the platform and many people visit.

This is an evening walk to see the splendid Yae cherry blossoms and rape blossom fields on the river of the Chikuma River in the Hokushin area of Nagano Prefecture.

Spring in Japan This spring, I went to Kyoto to see the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom at Yodogawa River Park, so it was very beautiful.

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!

Take a road trip from Kanto to Kansai... When I went to Osaka Castle, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

It is one of the three best gardens in Japan. I am impressed by the large grounds, the garden, not even a single garbage, and no weeds. I am fascinated by the cherry blossom blizzard.

It is Himeji Castle in the early morning. I was impressed by the beauty of the moat.

I went to Nabana no Sato. There was a flower staring at me for a moment, so I couldn't help but snap! She was very cute.

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.

Resting in a park with cherry blossoms in full bloom

Azalea in Tatebayashi, Gunma

The other day, I returned to Okinawa for 5 nights and 6 days (≧▽≦) I went to a place where only locals go! This photo is... It is located in the southern part. Oshiro tempura restaurant. At a tempura restaurant on Obushima. I arrived before the opening. I spent about an hour taking pictures in the sea in front of me, killing time, and then I went to the store 15 minutes before it opened. There were flickering customers. When I was in line, there were about 30 people behind us at the opening time (≧ω≦) I went there on Friday ... There were many locals and tourists (* 'ω'*) My father is watching in the sea for the first time in a long time Pashari the back view! Σpω・ ́) Pashari my husband walking on the sandy beach in the distance! Σpω・ ́) * There are no photos of tempura!
