The full bloom during the day was truly stunning. The wisteria spread out like a sea of flowers, with rich, vibrant colors that looked even more gorgeous in the sunlight.

Ginzan Onsen

This hot spring resort was developed along with the Nobesawa Silver Mine which prospered in the Edo Period. After the mine was closed, it was turned into a therapeutic onsen resort until a flood destroyed it in 1913. By early Showa Period, local businesses have helped restore the village close to the current landscape with western-style wooden multi-story buildings on either side of Ginzan River.

Ginzan Onsen in the middle of heavy snowfall really looked like a movie scene. The whole street was wrapped in snow. It was so cold I was shivering, but it was so beautiful that I didn’t want to leave.

Fuji Shibazakura Festival

The weeks from mid-April to late May each year bring Fuji Shibazakura Festival, the largest spring flower event in the Tokyo metropolitan area to Fuji Motosuko Resort at the foot of Mt. Fuji.

The sea of pink flowers at the Fuji Shibazakura Festival is absolutely dreamy, and with Mt. Fuji in the background, it’s really photogenic. There were quite a lot of people, but the atmosphere was lively and it was definitely worth visiting!

Looking out over Shirakawa-go from the Ogimachi Castle Ruins Observatory is truly breathtaking. The rows of gassho-style houses are so distinctive. The scenery looks different in every season.

When the weather is bad, Mt. Fuji is often completely covered by clouds, so you can barely see it—just a faint outline remains. It’s a bit of a shame, but that hazy view has its own atmosphere too.

Lake Mashu

Situated in the eastern part of Hokkaido, u is a caldera lake located within the "Akan-Mashu National Park". Encompassing an area of about 19.6 km² with a circumference of roughly 20 km, the environs of the vast lake have been designated as a special protection area. Due to the steep cliffs surrounding it, direct access to the lake is restricted. However, several observation decks set up around the lake offer panoramic views of its serene surface.

In winter, Lake Mashu is completely covered in snow, and sometimes the lake freezes over—it looks absolutely spectacular. The air is so cold it feels incredibly crisp.
Even though it’s freezing, that unbelievably quiet atmosphere is really something special.

Kankakei (Ropeway)

Kankakei is a gorge in Kagawa Prefecture’s Shodo Island. It is located in the heart of Setonaikai National Park. The valley of Kankakei was formed over thousands of years as volcanic andesite and agglomerate were thrust upward via shifting of the earth’s mantle and eroded by rain and wind, creating a spectacular scene of sheer cliffs and rock formations.

You can take the ropeway up or drive, and each way has a different feel. But the views from the ropeway are really nice.

It’s surrounded by mountains and valleys, and the scenery feels really untouched. It has that hidden-gem vibe.
The bridge itself is made of vines, so it feels a little unsteady when you walk on it, but it actually feels fairly safe.

A really unique attraction. You have to wait for low tide to be able to walk across, and the moment the whole path appears feels so dreamy. Definitely worth visiting at least once.
