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 season rings in with 500,000 moss phlox plants bloom in a stunning shimmy of color that frames perfectly with Mt. Fuji just behind. The festival designs a unique theme each year to showcase the vibrant hues of all seven varieties of shibazakura, including McDaniel Cushion and Autumn Rose.

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.

Lake Kawaguchi (Kawaguchi-ko)

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.

Roadside Station Shodoshima Olive Park

This park is popular for its Mediterranean-like scenery and excellent facilities. There are many photo spots that make you want to take pictures, such as a white windmill perched on a hill overlooking the Seto Inland Sea and an English garden with approximately 120 varieties of herbs and roses in full bloom.

It feels like walking into a small European town. The white buildings with the ocean view are absolutely beautiful, and the whole atmosphere is fantastic!

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.
