Reasonably priced hotel with delicious food and beautifully designed bath on the Pacific coast of Kochi prefecture.

Low key accomodation next to Tairyuji ropeway station

Business hotel with natural hot spring bath right across from JR Tokushima Station.

Short stroll through Kyoto’s Sagano neighborhood.

My most favorite onsen village in Japan.

Yamanami Highway is a scenic drive on Kyushu connecting the city of Beppu in Oita prefecture and Aso town in Kumamoto prefecture. There’s beautiful natural scenery and hot springs along the way.

Takachiho is a place of exceptional natural beauty and ancient legends, not easy to get to, but definitely worth a visit.

Amano Iwato shrine is associated with the famous Japanese legend of Sun Goddess Amaterasu hiding in a cave. This is one of the most interesting shinto places I’ve seen in Japan.
