We came to Amanohashidate, one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views, because we’d heard so much about it. We ended up arriving during a heavy snowfall, but since we were already there, we decided to make the best of it.
We trudged up to the observatory, and then the snow stopped. The “heavenly dragon,” which had been hidden by clouds and mist, suddenly came into full view. A pure white dragon-like curve stretched out before us...
The silvery white world was so beautiful! We stayed at the observatory for a while, played in the snow, laughed and had such a great time. Then the snow began to fall silently again, so we had to leave reluctantly.

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 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! -

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. -
