While walking along the Kumano Kodo, I came across lots of places called 'Oji.' Apparently, these were rest spots for the imperial family and nobles who used to come here to visit the shrines.

Red Pumpkin
Naoshima off the coast of Kagawa Prefecture is the island of modern art, where prominent artists’ works are attracting world’s attention. When a ferry approaches Naoshima’s front gate, Miyanoura Port, the first thing that catches your eye is the Red Pumpkin by Yayoi Kusama.
The bright red with black dots really stands out, even from far away.

Kinrin Lake
Kinrin Lake is one of many popular tourist spots in the hot springs town of Yufuin. The lake sits under Mt. Yufu and as such was called takemoto-no-ike (lit. “lake under the mountain”) for years. However, it was renamed to Kinrin, or “golden scales”, by Mori Kuso in 1884 when he saw the golden glimmering scales of fish as they swam at sunset.
The lake isn't very big and the water isn't deep,
but the whole atmosphere is just beautiful. -
