Farm Tomita

Located in Nakafurano Town, Hokkaido, this tourist farm is famous for its large-scale, elegant lavender fields. In addition to the grand lavender fields, the farm is known for its "Irodori Field," a canvas of gently sloping hills adorned with vivid bands of flowers such as purple lavender, white baby's breath, and red poppies.

Farm Tomita has flower fields stretching as far as the eye can see, rolling across the hills like a beautifully crafted patchwork quilt.
Walking through the sea of flowers, with a light floral scent in the air, felt incredibly relaxing.
The lavender ice cream and melon desserts were so satisfying!

Mojiko Retro

Moji Port was opened in the early Meiji Period and prospered in international trade. Nostalgic architecture, built from the Meiji into early Showa Periods, are still standing today. It is a fun area to meander.

The wooden interior of Mojiko Station has a romantic, retro Taisho-era vibe. I was taking side shots of the station restroom 😁 and got distracted by the water fountain next to it. There’s also a Starbucks inside the station where you can take a break.

The banana man in Mojiko is a must-photo spot. I heard it has some connection to Taiwanese bananas. One black and one yellow, they look super cool in the sunlight.

This place is full of the unique charm of a port city. You can also stroll through the nostalgic streets and visit European-style buildings like the former Moji Mitsui Club and the International Friendship Memorial Library.

Kanmon Bridge

Opened in 1973, Kanmon Bridge is a suspension bridge connecting Moji in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, with Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Spanning the Kanmon Straits, the bridge measures 1,068 meters in total length and was the longest bridge in Asia at the time of its completion. It forms part of an expressway linking Mojiko IC and Shimonoseki IC, and is open only to motor vehicles (excluding vehicles not permitted on expressways).

Kanmon Bridge was wrapped in clouds and mist. It's a key transportation link connecting Honshu and Kyushu, and the Kanmon Straits run below it. There's also an undersea tunnel you can walk through.

Shimonoseki is the hometown of former Prime Minister Abe, and I unexpectedly came across his authentic calligraphy while dining at a restaurant.

Karato market

This fish market welcomes both professionals and tourists alike for shopping. Known for Shimonoseki's specialty Fugu, as well as a market for Sea Bream and Yellowtail, it offers a variety of fresh fish caught by local fishermen. The popular weekly event "Ikiiki-bakangai" also draws crowds every weekend.

When I got to Shimonoseki, my first stop was Karato Market. The fresh fugu sashimi was sliced paper-thin, and there was also nigiri sushi and a huge variety of seafood on display.

But honestly, all I really wanted was a photo with the fugu.

Hagi Meirin Gakusha

Built in 1935 on the site of the Hagi Domain’s educational institution, Meirinkan is one of Japan’s largest wood-made school buildings, and heralded launchpad for many Meiji Restoration era leaders. The main building is registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan and retains the historic atmosphere of education from that time.

The main building has a strong Japanese-Western architectural style, and the interior is clean and beautifully organized. Studying in a place like this must have felt wonderful, so it’s no surprise that it produced many outstanding figures of the Meiji Restoration.

Visiting Meirin Gakusha also brought back memories of many old school buildings in Taiwan, especially elementary schools built during the Japanese colonial period. It would be wonderful if they could also be preserved and managed in a similar way.

Kintai Bridge

Kintai Bridge has been designated as a National Scenic Location of Japan, and it is also one of Japan’s Three Famous Bridges. It is a beautiful and large 5-story arch bridge, with a total length of 193.3 meters and a width of 5 meters.

If you’re visiting Iwakuni in Yamaguchi Prefecture, you definitely shouldn’t miss Kintai Bridge, known as one of Japan’s Three Famous Bridges and one of its Three Unique Bridges. This five-arch wooden bridge has more than 300 years of history. Spanning the Nishiki River, it still stands strong today and showcases Japan’s refined traditional craftsmanship with its nail-free and rivet-free construction.

On a nice day, you can see Iwakuni Shrine in the distance on the hillside, or walk down to the riverbed to admire the graceful curves and wooden structure of the five arches from different angles. The surrounding old town, park, and local food also make it well worth another visit!

Itsukushima Shrine

Itsukushima Shrine stands on the island of Itsukushima, which is also known as the island of gods. It is said that the shrine was founded in 593 by Saeki no Kuramoto, and the 3 goddess “Ichikishimahime-no-Mikoto,” “Tagorihime-no-Mikoto,” and “Tagitsuhime-no-Mikoto” are enshrined there. Famous for granting a wide list of benefits, these three goddesses as are worshipped as the goddesses of the sea, transportation, fortune, and art.

It’s such a shame I can only give this 5 stars.
Itsukushima Shrine looks completely different in each moment—the shrine under the clear daytime sky, the shrine at night when the tide goes out, and the shrine floating on the sea the next morning. It feels majestic, solemn, and dreamlike...
At low tide, you can walk down to the tidal flats and get close. At high tide, you can admire the torii gate floating on the water from afar. Absolutely worth the trip!
I quietly promised myself I’d come back again.

Yuda Onsen

Located in Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Yuda Onsen is a historic hot spring town with roots stretching back over 800 years. Its name appears in the ancient "Suō Amidaji Documents" from the 13th century, though the hot spring is believed to have existed even earlier. According to legend, the spring was discovered when a white fox appeared nightly at a small temple pond to soak its injured leg-a story that lives on in the form of white fox statues and monuments scattered throughout the area.

Yuda Onsen is known as the "White Fox Hot Spring," and the whole onsen town uses the white fox as its mascot. You can spot cute white fox statues all around the area, and in front of the station there's even an 8-meter-tall white fox named "Yutakun" welcoming visitors. It really leaves an impression.
There are footbaths everywhere, so it's super relaxing to stroll around and take your time!

Geibikei Gorge

Kitakami River runs through Iwate north to south and branches into a tributary, Satetsu River, where the gorge stands tall. Water erosion created this 50m-tall, 100m-long bluff dotted with bizarre rocks, caves and waterfalls. The divine scene is counted as one of the 100 Scenic Places in Japan and National Historical Spot and Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument.

The Geibikei Gorge boat ride uses a traditional flat boat. The boatman poles it along the stream, carrying visitors while you take in the magnificent gorge on both sides.
The scenery is beautiful, and the cool breeze takes away the summer heat. Looking at the unusual rock formations while listening to the boatman sing feels relaxing and wonderfully carefree.

Hydrangeas everywhere across the hills—absolutely stunning 🤩! They grow endlessly along the paths and beneath the trees.

Michinoku Hydrangea Garden has several walking routes, so you can stroll and enjoy the flowers at the same time. The shade from the trees also makes it really pleasant to walk around.
