Mikata Five Lakes
The Mikata Five Lakes are located across Mihama Town and Wakasa Town in Fukui Prefecture. They lie within Wakasa Bay Quasi-National Park and collectively refer to five lakes-Lake Mikata, Lake Suigetsu, Lake Suga, Lake Kugushi, and Lake Hyuga. The area is also designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty. From Lake Hyuga, which connects to Wakasa Bay, to Lake Mikata, the most inland of the five, each lake differs in water type (freshwater, seawater, and brackish water) as well as depth.
The lake views look totally different depending on the angle, and each lake has its own color too. It’s pretty amazing.

Jindaiji Temple
This temple is renowned for warding off dangers and matchmaking, with a National Treasure, a seated Buddha statue of Shaka Nyorai, located in the Shaka Hall.
The most famous thing here is the Jindaiji soba noodles. They’re handmade right on site and smell amazing!

Yatsushiro National Fireworks Competition
A national fireworks competition held in Yatsushiro City, located in the southern part of central Kumamoto Prefecture. Only three national fireworks competitions in Japan bring together pyrotechnicians from across the country to compete using the same rules and types of shells: the National Fireworks Competition (Omagari Fireworks) in Daisen City, Akita Prefecture; the Tsuchiura All Japan Fireworks Competition in Tsuchiura City, Ibaraki Prefecture; and this event.
Every firework looked like a painting. You can really feel the incredible skills of Japanese artisans.
