Each house has its own unique style, reflecting the different ways people lived in various regions. Every day, two or three houses are open for visitors to go inside. I also appreciated that they offer audio guides in both Chinese and English, which helped us understand early Japanese life even better.

Senso-ji Temple
One of Asakusa's leading tourist attractions, Senso-ji Temple welcomes more than 30 million visitors annually. This iconic Tokyo temple hosts many annual events, including New Year's visits and Setsubun. Kaminarimon Gate, a symbol of Asakusa, features a large red lantern flanked by statues of the gods of wind and thunder.
The five-story pagoda inside Sensoji Temple is my favorite part of the architecture.

Oboke and Koboke Gorges
Oboke and Koboke Gorges extend for approximately 5 miles and were carved over 200 million years by the swift-flowing Yoshino River as it crosses the Shikoku Mountains. The gorges are known for their towering, sculpture-like scenery. The rock formations and V-shaped valleys visible up close offer valuable insight into the formation of the Japanese archipelago, earning the area designation as a National Natural Monument.
This is one of Japan's three great hidden spots. The canyon's unique rock formations are truly impressive. The restaurant owner was super friendly and fun—she even greeted us in Taiwanese when she found out we were from Taiwan. When we left, she got on our tour bus to sing and say goodbye. We really felt her warmth and hospitality.
