Steep cliffs and unique rock formations everywhere. The paths are easy to walk, making this a great spot for hiking and enjoying nature.

Shiraito Falls (Shizuoka Prefecture)
Located at the foot of Mt. Fuji, Shiraito Falls is a natural monument and popular scenic spot located in Shizuoka Prefecture’s Fujinomiya City. As part of Mt. Fuji, Shiraito Falls is covered as part of the mountain’s registration as a World Cultural Heritage. Mt. Fuji is considered a subject of faith and source of art.
Visiting in summer feels especially cool and refreshing. Every now and then, you can even spot a rainbow 🌈.

Murata Town Street with Kura (storehouses)
Murata, located between Sendai and Yamagata, used to flourish for a long time as a business town. The main product was Safflowers which is a convenient raw material for dyestuff and cosmetics.
This city was a bustling hub for merchants during the Edo period, connecting Yamagata and Sendai. It really thrived thanks to all the trading back then.

Sannai Maruyama Iseki
This large historical village site was registered as a world cultural heritage in 2021. It was excavated in 1992 during the site analysis for a prefectural baseball stadium.
It's really close to the Aomori Museum of Art, so I just stopped by while I was in the area.
