It felt like I stepped right into a Hayao Miyazaki movie. So beautiful.

Wakayama Castle
Wakayama Castle dates back to 1585, when Hashiba Hideyoshi, later known as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, ordered his younger brother Hidenaga to build it after pacifying Kishu. It was constructed on Mt. Torafusu near the lower reaches of the Kinokawa River, and Hideyoshi's retainer Kuwayama Shigeharu became its castellan.
A place that doesn’t need any editing at all.
No matter how you shoot it, it looks beautiful. -

Head Temple, Hasedera
Nestled in the mountains, this is one of the most prominent holy places in Japan housing the Kannon statue. It used to stand at the midpoint of the Hase Road which ran from Yamato Province to Ise Province. It appears in ancient poetries called Komoriku no Hatsuse and in Manyoshu.
A desolate yet incredibly sacred place.
All I felt was deep emotion, over and over again. -

Keage Incline
Lake Biwa Canal is a man-made waterway that connects Otsu and Kyoto. Although it was made in the Meiji Period, it is still being used and made up of the roughly 20 km-long 1st Canal, the 7.4km-long 2nd Canal, and 3.3km-long Canal Branch, etc.
Cherry trees with only buds
stood along both sides of the tracks,
creating a bleak and chilly atmosphere. -
