Japan is indeed a very beautiful place where cultures and traditions meet modernity and technologies. So here are the most colorful ✨ places in Japan according to me
1. Wisteria Tunnel:
Every spring, the Kawaguchi Fuji gardens of Kityakushu, Japan are full of graceful hanging flowers on winding Wisteria vines . The ‘Fuji Matsuri’ or ‘Wisteria festival ‘ takes place in late April or early May when the garden is in full bloom.
2. Blue pond in Bie town in Hokkaido:
Originally this pond was constructed to prevent the eruption of mount Tochachidake in 1988. But completely by chance the water started to accumulate and a clear blue pond formed.When there is no wind at all it looks like a clear mirror
3. Akebonoyama agricultural park:
This park is in Kashiwa city near Tokyo. Here 🌷tulips, cosmos, cherry blossoms🌸, sunflowers 🌻 are seen.
4. Daigoji temple, Kyoto city:
It is an important temple of Japanese Buddhism and designated as a world heritage site. There are gorgeous cherry blossoms in April and brilliant autumn 🍂 leaves. You can see the beautiful autumn foliage below.
5.Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Kyoto:
The paths inside this stunning forest are flanked by thousands of soaring stalks of bamboo. The path is about 500 meters long and ends (or starts) at the Tenryu-ji Temple, one of the most beautiful Zen temples in Kyoto. The forest is particularly striking in winter, when it’s covered in snow.
6. Takachiho Gorge:
The 17-meter-high Minainotaki waterfall is one of the most impressive views along the Takachiho gorge. Photographers can rent a boat to row their way down the gorge and admire the massive volcanic basalt cliffs and lush greenery from up close. There are also trails running alongside the top of the gorge for a different-but equally breathtaking-view.
7. Shirakawa-go Village:
During spring, this historical village turns pink as the sakura cherry blossoms come into bloom. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Shirakawa-go Village is made up of houses built using traditional Japanese architecture: rafters and crossbeams that support a slanting thatched roof. The farmhouses in the village are set on small terraces and surrounded by forested hills.
8. Gardens of the Imperial Palace, Tokyo:
Stone and iron bridges cross over the moat to connect the palace buildings with the gardens and streets around. The Tokyo Imperial Palace has been the official home of the Emperor of Japan since the late 19th century. Visitors are only allowed to enter the inner palace grounds twice a year, right after New Year’s and on the Emperor’s birthday.
9. Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Dam:
The Kurobe Dam is part of Japan’s very popular Alpine Route, also known as the “Roof of Japan.” The route-which can be seen from the air but also traveled via land-crosses over the Japanese Alps mountain range, including Mt. Tateyama. The mountain is part of Japan’s “Three Holy Mountains,” which also include Mt. Fuji.
10. Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kyoto:
The Golden Pavilion sits on a pond in the Rokuon-ji temple complex. Designated as a National Special Historic Site, the gold-leaf covered pavilion occupies center stage among gardens, peaceful bridges crossing over serene waters, and an overall design meant to promote perfect harmony between heaven and earth.
11. Mount Yoshino , Nara:
Sakura (cherry blossom) flowers cover Mount Yoshino in spring, attracting many visitors. A number of important shrines-including Yoshino Mikumari, a Shinto shrine dating back to the early 1600s-are located around the base of the mountain, and the entire mountain has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
12. Mt.Fuji :
One of the most beautiful views of Mt. Fuji can be seen as it reflects on Lake Kawaguchiko, a popular resort area in both winter and summer. Mt. Fuji, the highest volcano in Japan, remains covered in snow for about half of the year-a postcard-perfect background and one of the most visited and photographed destinations in Japan.
13. Motonosumi-inari Shrine:
The shrine’s 123 red torii gates lead visitors straight to a steep cliff and magical azure views over the Japan seas. The view is especially striking when the sun sets, with reds and yellows snaking through the sky.
At the top of the hill, the shrine itself consists of a series of small buildings and a saisenbako (offertory box) five meters up in the air, where visitors can try throwing coins while making a wish-if the coin falls into the box, the wish will come true.
14. Miyako-jima,Okinawa:
15. Miyajima Island:
Bonus : it is so beautiful so, I couldn’t ignore 😍
Shikisai no Oka, Bie:
The panoramic flower gardens of Shikisai no Oka, provide spectacular view of the flower garden . The word Shikisai no Oka literally in japanese means hills of seasonal colors.
