Lake Shidaka has crystal-clear water and is surrounded by mountains, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting. Strolling along the lakeshore, you can take in the beautiful scenery and feed the swans and ducks. It’s a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city—a truly refreshing travel experience.

It’s world famous as the mountain boasting the most climbers in the world.
東京近郊的高尾山，讓我感受到大自然的美麗與寧靜。沿著山林步道慢慢往上走，四周綠意盎然，空氣清新，耳邊傳來鳥叫聲和風吹過樹葉的聲音，令人感到十分放鬆。途中還能欣賞美麗的山林景色，讓人忘記爬山的疲累。
抵達山頂後，眼前遼闊的景色令人驚艷。天氣晴朗時，還有機會遠眺富士山，壯麗的景色讓我留下深刻的印象。高尾山不僅擁有優美的自然風光，還有藥王院等充滿歷史文化的景點，讓旅程更加充實。
這次的高尾山之旅，不但讓我享受登山的樂趣，也讓我更加親近大自然，感受到身心都獲得放鬆。希望下次能在不同季節再次造訪，欣賞櫻花、楓葉等四季不同的迷人景色，留下更多美好的回憶。 -

Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine
A shrine famous on social media as a “Spiritual Place” and a “Gateway to another world”. This shrine worships Izanagi-no-Mikoto, Izanami-no-Mikoto, and Iwagimitai-Shogun as its deities. It is known by locals as “Gongen-San”. On the temple grounds, there is the “Nagi” for good luck in marriage and “Ugeto-Iwa” (Ugeto Stone) which is good for passing tests and winning things.
走進上色見熊野座神社，映入眼簾的是一排排古老的石燈籠，石階兩旁布滿青苔，在高大樹木的包圍下，更顯得神秘又寧靜。沿著石階一步一步往上走，耳邊只有風聲和鳥叫聲，讓人不自覺放慢腳步，細細感受大自然的美好。
神社充滿莊嚴的氛圍，讓人參拜時感到內心平靜。繼續往上走，還能看到著名的穿戶岩，巨大的岩石中央有一個天然洞穴，景象十分壯觀，也讓我讚嘆大自然的鬼斧神工。 -

Beppu Onsen
Beppu onsen is the collective name for all of the hot springs across Beppu City in Oita Prefecture. With 2,847 different springs that produce about 130,000 kiloliters of spring water every day, its ranked among the highest of hot springs in Japan. Beppu Onsen is divided into 8 areas and is also called Beppu Hatto or Bappu Onsenkyo. The many different springs offer different water properties and colors, so you won’t want to miss the chance to visit as many different hot springs as possible.
The view from the Yukemuri Observatory left a lasting impression on me. From above, you can look out over the entire city of Beppu and see hot spring steam rising continuously from all around town. The white mist drifts between the streets and wooded hills, creating a landscape unique to Beppu and showcasing the charm of this hot spring city.
A gentle breeze blew across the observation deck, with sweeping views of the distant mountains and city. It was wonderfully refreshing. Around sunset, the warm light illuminates the city and steam, adding a romantic atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer and enjoy the beautiful scenery. -
