Kumano Hongu Taisha is a place people really want to visit for worship. You can reach this majestic shrine by trekking along different mountain paths, which can be long and challenging. The journey is all about seeking spiritual comfort and really represents the spirit and culture of the Japanese people.

Nachi Waterfall
Kumano-Nachi Taisha is the main shrine of over 4000 Kumano Shrines dotting Japan. This waterfall stands within the holy area, The grandest fall in Japan is 133m-tall, 13m-wide at the mouth, where water begins to fall, and the plunge pool is 10m-deep, and pours over 1 ton/second of water through three wedges which merges as one fall, thus called “Three Stream Fall.”
I always take part in the ritual of changing the sacred rope at Nachi Waterfall every July and December. It really brings a sense of peace to my heart. ❤️

The airport grounds include 3 different passenger terminals, a freight terminal and is currently planning to open a new runaway in addition to its two runways currently open.
Narita Airport~
This time, I took the JR East Narita Express (N'EX) train, which goes straight to major stations in both central Tokyo and the suburbs. It's the most popular way for foreign travelers to get from Narita Airport to Tokyo 🧰 Super convenient! -

Otaru Tenguyama Observation Platform, Otaru Tenguyama Ropeway
Otaru’s symbol, Mt.Tengu, stands 532m-high above sea level. On top, there is an observation platform awarded one star on Michelin Green Guide Japon, where you can look out at the city and the Japan Sea. At night, Mt Tengu offers a breath-taking sight over Otaru City, referred to as one of Hokkaido’s Three Best Night Views, along with Mt. Moiwa and Mt. Hakodate.
The night view from Mt. Tengu in Otaru is really famous. Besides the night scenery, the mountain turns into a ski resort in winter, attracting lots of ski lovers. You can also enjoy the beautiful snowy landscape!
