Would you visit this temple with a fascinating history in Nara Prefecture? 👘🥰 Murouji Temple has an extensive history of welcoming women, making it a popular spot for female worshipers to the present day. The temple grounds change their appearance with the seasons, with autumn leaves in fall and snowy scenes in winter. The Nio-Mon gate was rebuilt in 1965 and still retains its bright colors. In winter, the Five-Storied Pagoda's beautiful cypress bark roof is covered with pure white snow. Thank you @hirori.5.2 for sharing this great photo!

Want to witness an epic sunrise worth getting up for? ⛩🧡 Kure Hachimangu Shrine in Kochi Prefecture is popular for its stunningly beautiful sunrises. This is because of Nakatosa Town’s famous "Daruma Sun Rise" phenomenon where the sun rises as if raised up on a flat plinth due to its reflection in the sea. This natural event can only be seen on clear days from late September to late March when there is a large temperature difference between the ocean surface and the atmosphere. Of course, there is a bit of luck involved in capturing it on film, but thank you @kouji0016 for this perfect shot!

Looking for an excellent bird’s-eye view of some of Yamaguchi Prefecture’s most amazing landmarks? 🏯🚠 Iwakuni Castle, which overlooks the famous Kintaikyo Bridge and the old castle town, has a unique history: it was built in 1608, demolished after only seven years, and then rebuilt in 1962. When the castle was rebuilt, it was moved slightly to the east so that visitors could enjoy a better view from it. The ropeway journey up to Iwakuni Castle is also a fun experience in and of itself! (*Iwakuni Castle and the ropeway are closed from January 9 to February 7, 2024, due to annual inspection and facility construction.) Thank you @hidechan226 for this cool snowy shot!

How about an inspiring stroll around a beautiful park in Hiroshima Prefecture? 💜 Akitsu-cho is the only town in Higashi-Hiroshima City that faces the beautiful Seto Inland Sea, boasting plenty of stunning beach scenery and ocean views. It is often possible to spot numerous floating sea rafts farming oysters, a local delicacy. The view of the Seto Inland Sea from Shofukujisan Park is a must-see, so add it to your itinerary.

Fancy a cool winter ride through a scenic region of Japan? 🚞💙 Kurobe Gorge in Toyama Prefecture is one of Japan's most famous V-shaped valleys, and was long considered an unexplored region due to its steep terrain until the Kurobe Gorge Railway opened in 1953. Visitors can enjoy the unspoiled wilderness from the trolley train’s panoramic windows. The trolley does not normally operate in winter, but for 14 days between January 6 and February 12, 2024 (Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays), it will embark on a round trip of approximately 600 meters (0.4 miles) one-way to Shin-Yamabiko Bridge and back again. (*Requires advance application at least 5 days prior to each tour date.) Thanks @_____mimosa.619_____ for this epic snowy shot!

Fancy a walk around this traditional onsen town? ♨✨ "Yubatake” (hot spring fields) is a tourist attraction in Kusatsu Onsen, Gunma Prefecture. Emerald green hot spring water gushes out of this epic collection pool at a rate of about 4,000 liters (1,056.7 gallons) per minute. It is lit up at night, creating a fantastic atmosphere perfect for an evening stroll. Kusatsu Onsen has a characteristic mild sulfuric aroma, and it has long been said that "there is no disease that cannot be cured there, except lovesickness!” Thank you @ebi_times for this cool nighttime shot!

Would you like to visit a special shrine visible fantastically during winter? ⛩❄️ The torii gate of the Oyamazumi Shrine stands half submerged in the water on the shores of Lake Hibara in Fukushima Prefecture. The former approach to the shrine is usually hidden underwater, but in winter it becomes visible as the water level drops. The other torii gate, which is usually fully underwater, can also be seen poking out from under the snow-covered lake during the wintertime. Thanks @onotch.x for sharing this magical photo!

Looking for a scenic winter sightseeing spot? 🥰 The Sekiyama Waterfall, which stands at about 10 meters (32.8 feet) tall and 15 meters (49.2 feet) wide, is a famous waterfall that cascades down a fantastic ravine in Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture. This natural wonder features a beautiful emerald-green waterfall basin and is lit up after sunset in the winter season. Thank you @taka_kurizaki for this amazing snowy shot!

Do you know about this unusual fishing practice in Japan? ⚓ Every year from December to April, the fishing season for "shirasu-unagi," whitebait eels, opens on the Yoshino River in Tokushima Prefecture. The boats take advantage of the eels’ tendency to flock towards light sources, using lights to lure them in. The sight of the illuminated boats bobbing about in the calm water is a once-in-a-lifetime view not to be missed! The number of boats decreases at full moon, due to the increased ambient light, so it is recommended to watch the shirasu-unagi on other days. Fishing takes place late at night. *When visiting at night, please be careful as the trail to the viewing bridge is dark and narrow. Please be mindful not to use your own lights or other devices that may affect those fishing. Kudos to @rs.0521 for capturing this magical moment!

Would you like to hike up this beautiful shrine path? ⛩️ Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine is located in the Aso District of Kumamoto Prefecture, and the atmospheric approach is lined with 97 stone lanterns. After passing through the shrine, visitors are greeted by a huge open rockface called "Ugeto-iwa," which has become a symbol of achieving difficult goals. If you were to stand before the rock, what would you wish for? Thank you @bitworks for this cool shot! Follow @visitjapanjp for a daily dose of inspiration from Japan and for your future travel.
