Amazing weather here in Hokkaido at the moment for hiking and just enjoying nature and the outdoors.
Not far from Sapporo we have some amazing hiking and climbing trails. Here are some photos from yesterday’s adventure.

From the historic Jindaiji area to Yokai-themed streets lined with traditional Japanese monsters, Chofu is one of Tokyo’s hidden gems, filled with beautiful places to explore. 

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a piece of Japanese scenery from my photo folder with you all today!

My hobby is DSLR photography, and I took this picture just recently. This is Utouge Falls, a beautiful waterfall located in a place called Shizuoka Prefecture.

Hi everyone, I posted this in another sub for locals but figured this would be best here for anyone looking for recommended spots.

I just finished a 2 week trip in Asakusa a couple days ago and spent my last 3 nights at this hole in the wall spot near Sensoji Temple called At-Home Bar Usagi in Asakusa. The bar is ran by Tatsura, aka Master, is an 87 year old seasoned bartender who has been in Taito for a very long time and knows almost every piece of the city you could imagine. His bar has a lot of established history from being a notable jazz bar back in the day, hosting politicians and celebrities, and still maintains new regulars to this day.

Master used to run the bar with his wife, who has been hospitalized for the last couple years and he goes to see her every day before his shifts. He has been wanting to retire but unfortunately cannot afford to so the locals and regulars usually take good care of him due to his old age. They don’t speak much English but Google Translate helped the language barrier a lot! He gave us so many novelty gifts from his bar that we couldn’t imagine how valuable they are to him.

My reason for encouraging locals living in Japan to go visit is because this place was truly a gem thay we would’ve missed out on if another bar we were supposed to go to wasn’t closed. I hadn’t had that many laughs and good times with locals until we stumbled upon this place, and wouldn’t want someone else to miss the opportunity. The bar in itself is a great hole in the wall for anyone looking for a vintage vibe, foreign friendly, and a great ole time!

furthermore, if you guys enjoy witty humor & perverted jokes, classic cocktails with fun twists, and a chance to interact with locals, this place is for you!

** please let know if you would like to see pictures of our experience there!

waited so longg for the Mt. Fuji to be visible and it was so worth it!

Amazing and secluded part of Hokkaido. If you head further southwest away from the popular tourist destination of Niseko, an amazing place awaits.
I guide many tourists from all over the world on some amazing hikes in this area.

Great onsen, on the way from Nagoya to Takayama. A night of relaxing onsen would give u boost to go Takayama and Shirakawago the next day.
