There’s absolutely none of that touristy noise, which is perfect for me when I just want to get away from crowds.

Bungo Futamigaura
Located along the coast of Saiki City at the southeastern tip of Oita Prefecture, this symbolic sightseeing spot draws many visitors year-round.
Even on regular days, there aren't too many tourists here. The vibe is really peaceful and you won't feel crowded at all.

The Nakasendo Trail (Karuizawa-Tsumago)
The Nakasendo Trail stretches east to west across Nagano Prefecture. During the Edo period, it connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and Kyoto, serving as a vital route for travelers and merchants. The section between Karuizawa and Tsumago is especially scenic, offering a mix of breathtaking natural landscapes and beautifully preserved historic towns.
The short hike from Tsumago to Magome was super relaxing. The forest scenery along the way was absolutely gorgeous, and the shop owners were all really friendly. There's this laid-back, old-town vibe that makes you want to slow down and just enjoy it.

Sarakurayama Observatory
It's an observatory from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Kitakyushu city area. To reach the observatory at the summit of the 622-meter-high mountain, visitors take a cable car and a slope car.
I think it's even more beautiful than Fukuoka Tower! The best part is the super wide view—you can see so much!
