Listed as 3 stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan, the view from Mt. Hakodate. It was so beautiful that it was ? worth the climb

Totoro Toge is located in Fukagawa, Hokkaido. Under the blue sky, there is a bus in the shape of a very rare cat bus. There is nothing in the vicinity, and the very bleak scenery makes this presence stand out.

There is a pond in Hokkaido that is so beautiful that it is said that it was made by a god with a blue pond that spreads throughout the year. Its name is God's small pond.

In Hokkaido, there is a place with a railway track at the bottom of a lake, like in Spirited Away. This place is called Lake Shikaribetsu and is a very fantastic place.

I still remember going south on Route 1 on a road bike and seeing good weather under the blue sky of Lake ? Sapporo in front of Jozankei! I wanted to take a picture with this scenery and did my best!

Recently we had some different kind of travel experience during our Niigata tour. We heard about the jade beach of Itoigawa and just for fun went there to enjoy real life treasure hunt experience. The day was sunny and the beautiful stone beach shine bright. Frankly speaking if you stand near the sea shore call colorful pebbles look like expensive stones ? and me and my wife collected a lot of stones regardlessly shape and color. This was our first time jade collecting experience and we knew a few things so we didn't expect to get any. Till we dont know if we have any jade or not but few of our stones looks translucent with bright green color under flash light. We shared one of it. Jade or not, for us it is a priceless stone as we have a lot of happy memories with it.

I took this picture in Karuizawa, Nagano. After walking around Karuizawa the whole day with my cousins, we arrived at this beautiful pond. You have to look closely until you realize it's flipped upside down. I have a lot of great memories from Karuizawa and Nagano, spending time with my relatives. I feel like the beautiful nature of Nagano represents those beautiful memories. When I looked in the pond, I found myself smiling, appreciating the nature and the people I'm with.

Utsukushigahara Highlands/Nagano Scenic hike. My nephew is tired of walking and is pooped. It was a strange sight that the clouds were rising steadily, and instead of looking up, they were at the end of the line of sight as they walked.
