I took a picture of the Kawazu cherry blossoms in Miura on a sunny day. Sakurajima and Keikyu were beautiful in the sky.

In Kyoto, you can see the plum blossoms called Jonangu very beautifully. By the way. The upside-down Umejiro was ?? very cute.

I love the timing on this photo getting the wave crashing against the rocks just perfectly. I've never been to Fukui but I know that Oshima has that big red bridge and I want to go check that out. I'm assuming this is where it leads to, and if so, then I really want to give it a visit. I guess the island has a shrine as well that's an Important Cultural Property so that sounds like it'd be interesting to see as well. I didn't realize this was next to Tojinbo though, I want to see those massive jagged cliffs for myself. I've seen them in photos and it always looks really awesome but seeing it in person is always totally different. I imagine it'd be even more amazing!

The special feeling of cherry blossoms at night while strolling. #Spring

Wow, that's such an amazing view. I've seen so many different photos of this type of cloud around Mt. Fuji but I've never gotten the chance to see it in person. I really like the orange coloring from the sun behind the mountain, just incredible. I know that there's the Fuji World Heritage Center in Fujinomiya and there's also some waterfalls there so it'd be a cool place to visit when I decide to finally climb Mt. Fuji. Maybe next year for hatsuhinode? I'd like to at least, but I'll have to convince my girlfriend to go hiking in the cold weather so we'll see ? If not I'll get around to it another time, I'm still kind of young so I've got time before my knees aren't up to the task lol

Wow I looked this place up and it's amazing! I'm surprised it doesn't seem as popular as other flower parks but it has some really beautiful scenery. There's a ton of different gardens all with different themes as well. Spring is coming soon so it's something to keep in mind I suppose! I've never heard of Tasha Tudor either but I'm curious to see what kind of picture books she wrote know. I love that Japan has a lot of these types of themed attractions so you can not only enjoy the location itself but also the history behind it or the history that it is brings to life. Hopefully I can get out to Gifu this spring/summer. The place is called "Flower Festival Commemorative Park" for anyone wondering.

The Nikko Mountains in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, with harsh winters and vast nature, are a masterpiece

What a cool photo. I keep seeing pictures and stuff of Takachiho Gorge and I really want to go. I watched a video of it on here recently and it was really beautiful. Miyazaki seems like a really fun place to visit in general so it'd fun to get out there and try the boats and see all of the natural scenery. It had some really nice looking shrines that I was interested in visiting as well. It's so hard to visit all of the beautiful places scattered throughout Japan but I've got time so I'm gonna do my best lol. Earned some flight miles this year so I'm definitely heading out somewhere this summer. Maybe it'll be Miyazaki, we'll see. Although I've had my eye on Nagano lately as well so it's a toss up for now.

From Kurumayama to Washigamine, the Kirigamine Plateau continues with gentle undulations. Seasonal alpine plants such as Astragalus azalea, Nikko kisuge, and Matsumushiso dye the green meadow in various colors. Mt. Fuji, the Alps, the Yatsugatake mountain range, and other famous peaks that Japan are proud of are also overlooked. Kirigamine Plateau is also known as the birthplace of Japan gliders because of its abundant updrafts in the area, making it suitable for glider flight. Cited from Kirigamine Kogen tourism website.

A bronze statue in Asago City, Hyogo Prefecture, at Himemiya Shrine. Does the snow-covered figure look like a girl celebrating her coming-of-age ceremony? It was so cute that I involuntarily released the shutter.

Snow piled up in Asago City, Hyogo Prefecture.

This is the snowy scenery when I went to Kamikawa Town in Hyogo Prefecture. I filmed the moment my husband filmed me. It is one of my favorite photos of winter.

I'm really digging the symmetry in this photo. It's really perfect. Also Skytree is awesome so there's that too! I really wanted to visit Asakusa for New Years but had to avoid it sadly. Was looking forward to visiting Sensoji and enjoying all of the other fun stuff in the area. Last time I went it was a lot of fun. Got to try out some of the food stalls and had a bunch of different things like takoyaki, yakisoba, etc. It's been a while since I went since I went to Skytree as well but maybe I can head over there again sometime soon and see the beautiful night view again. Plus Asakusa is always a fun to place to go and get some food anyways!

In the 69th order of the Nakasendō, the pure Nakasendō 67-juku (from Itabashi to Moriyama), which surpasses Kusatsu and Otsu-juku shared with the Tokaido, Narai-juku is the 34th post town in the middle of the Nakasendō, counting from Itabashi-juku on the Edo side and Moriyama-juku on the Kyoto side. The post town that prospered with many travelers at the highest altitude of the 11 Kiso inns, ahead of the difficult Torii Pass, was called "Narai Senken". The townscape has been selected as a national important preservation district for groups of traditional buildings, and retains a strong trace of the past.

Gifu Park Japan-China Friendship Garden Snow Scenery ❄️ In 1989, Gifu City and Hangzhou City, People's Republic of China, created a garden to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the friendship city partnership, and a gate with a design full of Chinese atmosphere, earthen walls, gardens, and a pond made to imitate West Lake, a famous place in Hangzhou City. This pond is a pond that can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons. ? The cherry blossom season is famous, but the snowy scenery is also the best. When you come to Gifu, please take a walk in Gifu Park. ?

"Illuminate the footprints" I took a picture of the morning sun climbing near Mt. Yokote and the footprints of animals left in the snowfield. Although it was cold, I was very satisfied that I was able to take a picture of the light streak. Location: Nagano Shiga Kogen

Oh my god... this is just breathtaking. It's like a paradise above the clouds. I love all of the different colors of leaves that you can see. The blue skies as a backdrop makes it look like something you'd only find in a movie. I really think this settles it. Japan has the most beautiful scenery of any country I think. This is making me want to put on my boots and go for a hike. I've heard of Mt. Taisen before but I never heard the scenery was this amazing. I really like the pond in the middle too, I wonder if there are any fish in it. It'd be amazing if there were some koi in it or something. That'd just be the icing on the cake lol. Going to have some good dreams of this place tonight!
