Tsunoshima Bridge, Yamaguchi The sea is so emerald green that I was surprised! !! A place with a strong impact that will remain firmly in the memories of traveling from a distant place. I went to the photo 6 years ago, but due to the new coronavirus, I was working in the fourth wave, and I just stayed home on holidays, and when the corona calmed down, my family increased, and now I want to drive 12 hours with my family of four and travel to Yamaguchi Prefecture and Kyushu. I pray that the corona will settle down as soon as possible. Please save as many lives as possible. I hope that medical professionals can return to normal as soon as possible.

Yamaguchi Akiyoshidai Limestone Cave (Akiyoshido) Exit Tunnel Akiyoshi Cave was also a masterpiece of limestone caves created by nature, but the exit was also mysterious and it was also a place where the travel voltage increased. I went to the photo 6 years ago, but due to the new coronavirus, I was in the fourth wave, and I was at work, and on holidays, I just stayed home and when the corona calmed down, I would like to drive for 12 hours with my family of four and travel to Yamaguchi Prefecture and Kyushu again. I pray that the corona will settle down as soon as possible. Please save as many lives as possible. I hope that medical professionals can return to normal as soon as possible.

Beautiful view, looks like Mt. Yoshino if I'm not mistaken? Either way, I totally agree. Can't wait for corona to be over so I can finally take my mask off and walk around and smell the fresh air. During the spring when the cherry blossoms were in bloom I was walking on a street with cherry blossoms and took my mask off for a second (no one was around) and I realized it was the first time I'd had my mask off outside all spring. Smelling the cherry blossoms was amazing, just a full year of wearing a mask and you nearly forget what nature smells like. Hopefully, come spring next year I'll be able to walk outside and smell the cherry blossoms and whatever else is blooming in the area. I'd love to be able to go traveling again just like normal and be able to take in not just the sights and sounds, but the smells as well. Until then, just gotta keep hanging in there! Edit: This is Takami no Sato, not Mt. Yoshino. I was mistaken. They look very similar though!

The sight of the mountains dyed pink with drooping cherry blossoms in full bloom is a masterpiece.
After Corona, I want to take off my mask and breathe in the fresh mountain air as much as possible.

What an incredible photo, the coloring of the floats goes perfectly with the sunset and the clouds. What an awesome looking festival. I've never heard about Murakami Taisai, but it looks like it's about 400 years old now and some of the floats created 200 years ago are still used even today. I've never actually visited Niigata but it looks like a fun place. Just inconveniently placed I guess lol. Seeing cool photos like this though really makes me want to visit. This festival is in early July as well, so not too far off. Might be cool to visit and get some of the festival food I've been missing out on. Can always make yakisoba at home but it just never really hits the same as some made at a yatai!

I totally overlooked this the other day. Didn't see it at all. What an awesome bridge. Horai Bridge in Shimada, Shizuoka. Apparently the longest wooden walking bridge and even recorded in The Guinness Book of World Records. Amazing that it was built in 1879 but it can still hold so many people and is in such good shape. I wonder if it gets regular maintenance done. That newer looking segment partway through would have me think so. According to a quote in the original post taken from the Shimada City Homepage, the bridge was for agricultural use to cultivate the Makinohara Plateau which lays on the other side. Previously the people would have to cross by boat which was apparently dangerous. Looks like a really nice place to visit and the bridge has some history as well. Cool stuff!

Horai Bridge is the longest wooden pedestrian bridge in the world.
It is a wooden bridge over the Oi River in Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

<Quoted from Shimada City website>
Horai Bridge is an agricultural bridge built in 1879 (Meiji 12) to clear the Makinohara Plateau. Before the bridge was built, you had to cross the Oi River by small boat.
It was dangerous to go back and forth.
It is still used by farmers in the old city to manage the tea plantation on the opposite bank. In addition to playing an important role as a farm road, the Horai Bridge is a historic land improvement facility.

Such a picturesque rock garden, I can't even imagine how relaxing it would be to just sit down somewhere nice in the garden on a quiet day and enjoy lunch or some tea. Mibudera is another temple I need to add to my list for the next time I visit Kyoto I suppose. I wonder if there are any koi in the pond at all. I never knew that this temple was the headquarters of the Shinsengumi either, that's some pretty cool history. I guess that explains why they have such a nice rock garden though. I'd like to explore this place a bit, I guess there's a graveyard dedicated to members of the Shinsengumi here as well. Sounds like a really interesting place to visit. Of course it's Kyoto too, so that's to be expected

After the heavy rain, I want to see the garden of Mibudera again, where water accumulated in the pond and sparkled!
I want to go to Kyoto!

Wow what a cool sight! I've been out to Nagatoro and Chichibu and went on a riverboat ride and I think I remember the guy pushing the boat saying something about there being icicles there during the winter. I'd love to go back and see it sometime as this looks really amazing. Also we wanted to try the kayaking in Nagatoro as well since the water was too low when we went and the boat we rode on couldn't go as far downriver. I guess they have some skiing there as well, I'm not sure if it's connected to the ropeway at all, but that's another cool thing to do in the area. The mountain is really beautiful and I think there's probably a good amount of cherry blossoms if you go in the spring. I'd like to explore Chichibu more though as I hear there's a pilgrimage there where you can see temples and shrines and stuff.

Chichibu City, Saitama in winter
"Icicle of the Thirty Hammers" near the mouth of the three peaks

The icicles I saw for the first time were different from the documents and videos
It gave me a fantastic impression somehow.
It was normal to feel cold, but somehow I felt warmth.

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!

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.
