Kakuda Misaki Lighthouse (Hanganfuna Kakushi)

This lighthouse stands on Cape Kakuda overlooking the magnificent Sea of Japan. The observatory at the foot of the lighthouse offers a magnificent view of the horizon. A short climb up the mountain trail behind the lighthouse provides a beautiful contrast between the white lighthouse and the azure sea below, and beyond that, the view is spectacular as far as Sado Island.

The scenery here is absolutely stunning. The white lighthouse against the blue sky and ocean makes for some really artistic photos, and it's even more romantic at sunset.
It's not a huge spot, but it's super peaceful—perfect for a stroll, gazing at the sea, and just relaxing. Really soothing vibes!

The whole shrine grounds are super clean and well maintained. You can really tell they take good care of the place. Walking around here just puts you in a great mood.

Yakiago Shio Ramen Takahashi, Shinjuku Main Store

An elegant Japanese-style ramen restaurant. The soup combines a broth made from domestic pork bones and chicken carcass, with the main ingredient being "Yakiago" - flying fish dried and grilled. Multiple types of seafood broth are layered in the mix. For the salt seasoning, "Yakiago" prepared using Takahashi's unique method is used, combining broth extracted at two different temperatures with salt from Okinawa. The refined and delicious flavor of the premium ingredient "Yakiago" is a highlight.

Kegon Falls

Nikko is home to many waterfalls, but its most famous waterfall is Kegon Falls. Here the water from Lake Chuzenji spills down a 97-meter-tall cliff, showcasing a beautiful and powerful force of nature. From the observation platform, which you can reach down at the waterfall basin by elevator, you can experience the roar of the falls and the splashing water from up close.

The area covering Nikko's two shrines and one temple is huge and definitely worth exploring. It's a World Heritage Site and totally worth the admission fee.

Kumano Kodo Path

Kumano Kodo is the path leading to the three Kumano Mountains (Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine, Kumano Hayatama Taisha, Kumano Nachi Taisha and Mt. Nachisan Seiganto Temple). While Kumano faith was rising, noble families used this path to come to Kumano, which was later spread to the general public.

Walking the ancient Kumano Kodo trail was really comfortable and not as tough as I expected. Restrooms are available and very clean along the way. The whole journey was fantastic!
