Coastal cliff at Dogashima (Nishi-izu, Shizuoka)

My favourite hidden landscape in Japan is a coastal cliff at Dogashima (near Nishi-izu town, Shizuoka prefecture) due to a deep blue sea, visible layers in the rock, colourful deposits, improbable vegetation, and a mysterious cave… Ride a boat to see that landscape!

At the edge of this cliff on Mount Nokogiri in Chiba prefecture? Breathtaking looking down… Breathtaking looking sideways… The forest is astonishing on clear days!

Japanese garden in Kyoto city

Ancient capital of Japan, Kyoto city features many peaceful Japanese gardens with quiet ponds, rocks, lush pine trees, and other trees with leaves turning yellow, orange and red when autumn approaches… Nice vegetation, isn’t it?

Lake on Mount Shirane (Kusatsu, Gunma)
