Wondering where epic scenery collides with sacred architecture? 🌄 My recent trip delivered—Borobudur’s legendary temple and the tranquil Udo Shrine in Nichinan were absolute highlights!
Top Spots to Visit
1. Borobudur Temple (Borobudur, Indonesia) 🕍
Address: 96R3+RH6, Kw. Candi Borobudur, Borobudur, Kec. Borobudur, Kabupaten Magelang, Jawa Tengah 56553
Open: 06:30–17:30 (last entry 16:30) | Fee: $20
Tip: Aim for an early visit—the morning light dancing over the stupas is magical, and you dodge crowds/heat. Notice the weather: it swings between sunny, cloudy, and sudden downpours, so pack a poncho or portable umbrella. Bring snacks and water; not much is sold inside, and you’ll want to linger.
2. Udo Shrine (Nichinan, Japan) ⛩️
Address: 3232 Miyaura, Nichinan, Miyazaki 887-0101
Open: 07:00–18:00
Insider nugget: Tucked into dramatic coastal cliffs, the shrine is stunning rain or shine (but clouds and mist amplify the vibe!). Don’t miss the ritual—toss a lucky stone in the turtle-shaped rock below for good fortune.
How to Get Around
Download a local map to navigate the temple complex and shrine area—signal can be finicky. In Indonesia, Grab taxis are reliable for reaching Borobudur. For Udo Shrine, local buses or taxis from Nichinan work best.
Food Picks
Near Borobudur: Try a warung (small restaurant) for authentic Indonesian fried rice (nasi goreng).
At Nichinan: Grab fresh seafood at a local izakaya after your shrine visit.
Travel Smarts
Admission is cash-only at Borobudur, so bring small bills. At both sites, dress modestly (respectful for temples/shrines). Weather can shift fast—layer up or bring rain protection.
