Exploring the Stunning Amanohashidate - The Cable Car Experience of the Sea of Kyoto
Welcome to Amanohashidate, a tourist destination in Japan renowned for its natural scenery, known as the Sea of Kyoto! This spot, one of the three most scenic views of Japan, attracts many visitors with its magnificent views and unique geographical features. First, let me take you on the Instagram-famous cable car ride, where there's absolutely nothing under your feet—it's quite a thrill! It feels a bit like riding a ski resort's cable car.
The cable car is located in Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, at Amanohashidate. To enjoy the view, you need to take this cable car up. This sandbar, stretching across the sea, looks like a massive bridge and is truly captivating! While riding the cable car, you can ascend from the ground to the top of Amanohashidate and enjoy the view!
Whether you're on a self-guided tour or with a travel group, Amanohashidate is a must-visit. Besides the cable car and the views, you can also enjoy cycling, riding a bike in the sky while taking in the beautiful scenery!

Sanrio Harmony Land in Kyushu, Japan.
There are two Sanrio theme parks in Japan, and Harmony Land is located in Beppu, Oita
Japan 〒879-1502 Oita, Hayami District, Hiji, Fujiwara, 5933 ハーモニーランド
To get there, first take the JR from Beppu to Kitsuki Station, and then there is a bus to the park entrance.
The entrance of the park is very attractive, full of childlike wonder, with many photo spots.
The park is not very large, but the facilities are basically very suitable for children to play (more suitable for younger children).
Among them, the Sanrio Ferris wheel is the most eye-catching, with each gondola featuring different cartoon characters. There are also a carousel, a mini roller coaster, and boats, etc. One special feature is that you can drive a track car to enjoy the scenery of the park.
There were also different performances on the day, mainly song and dance shows.
There are two restaurants in the park, the prices are not too expensive, and the children's meals even include a cartoon ceramic cup.
Personally, I think a visit to Beppu is a must, and the ticket prices are cheap (I bought mine on Trip.com this time!)
【Uji, Japan】A Tranquil and Far-reaching Ancient Capital Day Trip.
Many people traveling to Kyoto, Japan 🇯🇵 choose to spend half a day or a full day in Uji. The itinerary for this day trip starts from Uji JR Station → Mimurotoji Temple → Uji Shrine → Ujigami Shrine → Byodoin Temple → Uji Park 🚶♀️.
Most of Uji's attractions are within walking distance. Except for taking a bus 🚍 from the JR station to Mimurotoji Temple, all other spots can be reached on foot, which is very convenient ☺️. When tired, you can taste traditional Japanese sweets and matcha tea 🍵 at the nearby old shops.
It was a bit rainy 🌧️ on the day of my visit to Uji, but the misty weather matched the atmosphere of Uji perfectly. Plus, there were not many tourists that day, so while enjoying the spectacular views of the Uji River and Asagiri Bridge in Uji Park, I particularly felt the tranquil and far-reaching spirit of this ancient capital 😌.
🚝 Transportation: A short walk from Uji JR Station

Art Aquarium Museum
I found a museum in Ginza called the Art Aquarium Museum on the map, and was surprised to discover that it was located inside the Mitsukoshi department store. Curious to know more, I bought a ticket and entered the museum. As soon as I stepped inside, I felt like I had been transported to another world. The museum was filled with intricately designed fish tanks housing countless goldfish, all surrounded by a fantastical and mysterious lighting and music environment. Walking through this enchanting space was an incredible experience.

Owakudani, amazing volcanic crater
When I went to Hakone, I made sure to visit Owakudani#Owakudani , one of the largest volcanic craters in Japan. The cable car ride was stunning, especially as we approached Owakudani and the sulfur smell became stronger. At the station, there were many souvenir shops where I found the famous black egg. Outside the station, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery and tried some local food at the restaurants and eateries. Of course, I had to take a photo with the famous "black eggs" of Owakudani. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy so I couldn't see the majestic view of Mount Fuji.

Aoshima , three distinct attractions
Aoshima, located in Miyazaki, is a unique destination offering three distinct attractions: , a surfing spot ,unique geology, and a traditional shrine.
From the train station, I took a 10-minute walk to Aoshima beach. The beach is well-equipped with surf shops and rental services. The coastal path, surrounded by tropical plants, felt like a different world. I crossed a bridge to reach the Aoshima Shrine, where I found an "ema tunnel" that was interesting. The demon's washing board outside was the most attractive sight to me, and I spent most of my time taking pictures.
Before departing, I washed up at a nearby youth hostel with a public "Sento bath", ending my first day in Aoshima perfectly.

Sun Messe Nichinan
Sun Messe Nichinan is a park that you have to pay to enter. It's hard for me to go to Easter Island, so although the Moai statues here is replicas, I am still very exciting. Once I entered the park, I quickly found the Moai statues. There are totally 7 of them. They looked like the ones I had seen on TV shows, against the blue sea.
After seeing the Moai statues, I followed the park map and looked for the art pieces scattered throughout the park. At the top of the hill, there was a small exhibition hall with information about Easter Island. The view is amazing here.

Udo Jingu
Udo Jingu, a shrine inside a cave, was the highlight of my Miyazaki trip. Due to its location in the lower levels of the rocks, there were numerous stairs to navigate along the way. Thankfully, the weather was excellent on the day of my visit, and the seaside scenery was stunning.
Initially, I believed that the shrine was the only attraction to see, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover the nearby rock formations. This unexpected find was a great addition to my already enjoyable experience.

Kyushu, Japan | Vast grasslands stretching for miles 🐎 View of Mount Aso 🌋
One must visit Grass Thousand Miles when coming to Aso, but make sure to choose a good weather day. The scenery is truly spectacular, walking on the vast grassland and watching the horses leisurely grazing.
On my first day, the weather was very bad, but luckily I went again on the second day when it was sunny. It was really beautiful, and I look forward to going again in the summer when everything is covered in green.
You can also see the smoking Aso volcano, which is a rare sight to see a smoking volcano up close.
When the weather is good, you can even take a helicopter ride around the Aso volcano. Unfortunately, the helicopter was not available when I went, but I will definitely try it next time.

【Lake Kawaguchi Mount Fuji】3-day 2-night itinerary.
#Japanese Attractions
If you come to Lake Kawaguchi, you must come to see Mount Fuji! However, Mount Fuji is subject to the whims of the weather and cannot be forced 🥹, so everyone should be prepared for changes in their itinerary at any time! When the weather is good, try to visit the scenic spots 🗻 because Mount Fuji may hide at any time.
It is better to arrange your itinerary to visit the attractions in the morning. Firstly, there are fewer people, and secondly, the winter sunset is too early. After 3 pm check-in, stay at the hotel 🏨 and enjoy the scenery slowly. If you stay at a hot spring hotel, you can also soak in the hot spring ♨️.

⚠️ Be sure to pay attention to traffic safety! Do not affect traffic as a prerequisite. It is better to come before 9 am in the morning, and take photos quickly and accurately!

Welcome to Yufuyin. This is our first time visiting this place. We drove 1.5 hours from Hakata and driving on highway was smooth with nice view.
After arrival, we visited the main train station and visitor center. There is horse cart riding, bikes for rent, luggage storage, restaurants nearby. For shopping, many specialty shops locate right on the main road, then extended roads take you toward Kirin Lake, Floral village, and other visitng points.
Perhaps you will need more time if you want to take nice photos, or stop for a bite and grap a coffee and ice cream. We only stayed for one night this time. And we picked a local traditional Japanese hotel with in-house onsens. Usually local hotel would also come with traditional breakfast and dinner, which is a must try experience for visitors.

Himeji Glass Castle 🏯Hyogo, Japan🇯🇵#日本景點 #travel
I found a really cool spot ,Amanoiwato Shrine just ten minutes away by bus from Takachiho Gorge. Even though not as well-known, I thought it was really attractive. My favorite part was the Amanoyasukawara shrine that's inside a cave. The shrine and torii gate look really natural and matche the surroundings. There are also thousands of little rock formations on the ground that are pretty cool to see.
Another really great thing about this spot is the stream that runs alongside the cave. It's perfect for walking under the trees, listening to the sound of the water, and checking out the cool patterns on the rock walls. Overall, it was an awesome experience.
