Travel ten thousand miles and read ten thousand books. I love wandering through the countryside alone and chatting with people I meet along the way, especially the elderly and children. I love the changing seasons in Japan: flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, cool breezes in summer, and snow in winter. Every day is a good time to travel!

Osaka Science Museum

A science museum in Nakanoshima, Osaka. Carrying on Japan’s first science museum, the Osaka Municipal Electric Science Museum, it lets everyone from kids to adults learn about science under the theme “Space and Energy.” The planetarium is especially popular for its programs with live commentary by astronomy-savvy staff. With one of the world’s largest screens and a high-performance projection and video system, you can enjoy a stunning, incredibly lifelike starry sky.

Whether for sightseeing or business, people often come to Osaka. Sometimes the hustle and bustle of downtown Osaka can make you feel restless and tense. But if you use a short break to visit Nakanoshima, you’re guaranteed to feel completely refreshed!
Take a walk along the river, visit the rose garden or library, or sit down and slowly enjoy a cup of coffee—it makes you forget you’re in a big city!
Namahage Sedo Festival

The second weekend of February (Fri. - Sat.) each year in Oga City, Akita Prefecture, rings in a winter tradition with over 60+ years of history that draws travelers near and far. The festival combines the Sedo Festival, a Shinto ritual performed at Shinzan Shrine on January 3rd each year, with the ancient local tradition of Oga no Namahage, attracting countless visitors every year.

I came to Oga in August. Although I couldn't experience the famous winter Namahage Sedo Festival in person, you can see the terrifying Namahage all over Akita as soon as you enter the prefecture. Luckily, I'm not a child, or these uniquely shaped, fierce-looking demons really would have scared me to death! This is a highly distinctive and deeply meaningful cultural tradition that's worth experiencing!
Tottori Sand Dunes

Located on the Sea of Japan side of Tottori City in Tottori Prefecture, the Tottori Sand Dunes stretch 16 km from east to west and 2.4 km from north to south, making them one of the largest dune systems in Japan. These dunes, designated as a special protected area and a Natural Monument of Japan, are a major tourist attraction representing Tottori Prefecture.

My first time visiting the long-awaited Tottori Sand Dunes.
After transferring to a bus at Tottori Station, I arrived at the destination with ease. Even though it was already September, the weather here was still just as hot as in Taiwan.
After crossing the main road, a vast ocean view and a “desert” appeared before my eyes. It was truly breathtaking! At that moment, I forgot all about the intense heat and only wanted to walk into the “desert” and experience the feeling of roaming across the frontier. With the sea and sky blending into one and stretching as far as the eye could see, this scenery unlike anything I had ever seen left a deep impression on me!

I'm sure many people have already experienced the charm of Shirakawa-go's gassho-style village. But if you go a little farther, you can experience a simpler, quieter, and more authentic gassho-style village. This is Ainokura in Gokayama, which, like Shirakawa-go, is also a World Heritage Site. No matter the season, the face of this quiet village is sure to move you!
Narai-juku

It is Japan's longest post town, stretching about 1 km along the old Nakasendo Route. Located at the highest elevation among the 11 inns on the Kisoji Route, which is known for its perilous passes, the town used to be so crowded with travelers that it was called "Narai Senken (Narai of One Thousand Buildings)”.

I arrived at Narai-juku early in the morning, before any tourists had shown up. This quaint historic street is perfect for a quiet, leisurely stroll while taking a close look at the carefully maintained, well-preserved buildings, which are simple and stately. The peaceful atmosphere makes it easier to experience the charm of the Edo period.
This is an in-depth destination worth visiting in any season, and one you'll want to return to after your first visit!
