I challenged myself to climb Kotohiragu Shrine, said to be one of the hardest shrines in Japan to visit.
This time, I only went from the main approach to the main shrine, climbing a total of 785 stone steps. It was exhausting, but it felt really rewarding when I made it to the top.
The scenery was absolutely beautiful.

Naoshima New Museum of Art
The Naoshima New Museum of Art, opened in 2025, marks a new chapter in the Benesse Art Site Naoshima project, an art initiative spanning more than 35 years across the islands of Naoshima, Teshima, and Inujima in the Seto Inland Sea.
A museum with a really romantic vibe. Besides the exhibitions, you also get beautiful ocean views—absolutely gorgeous. It's a great place for photos and a nice museum to explore at a relaxed pace.
