Yamagata 山形: The Glorious Zao Monsters || Mount Zao 蔵王山

Finally visited the place that I wish to visit very long time - the Mount Zao during the end of this winter season. For winter season, Mount Zao in Yamagata is one of the most famous place where you can view Zao Monsters, other than Mount Hakkoda in Aomori and Mount Moriyoshi in Akita. What are Zao Monsters? Zao Monsters are not real monsters but are actually the spectacular snow-covered trees up on Mount Zao. All the trees look like monsters when the heavy snow season (around Feb) hits Mount Zao. The view was magnificent! The Zao snow monsters were really spectacular all over the whole Mount Zao. It was so gorgeously beautiful but at the same time, super cold and strong wind up the Mountain. Remember to wear appropriate layering, shoes and outer jackets so that you can explore outdoor longer. We activated our 6 Days JR East-South Hokkaido Rail Pass (35000yen) at Ueno station early in the morning to Yamagata station by Yamagata Shinkansen line. For this Yamagata shinkansen l...

Okayama 岡山: Yubara Onsen Sunayu 湯原温泉砂湯 || Maniwa City

My dream came true having an outdoor open-air public Onsen during winter season with full of snowy white background along the Asahi river, which is just right in front of the Yubara Dam, known as the "Yubara Onsen"! The Yubara Onsen is a very unique natural Onsen (hot spring bath) in Okayama prefecture that has been awarded with the title of "Nishi no Yokozuna" which means the Champion of Western Japan, in the category of National Hot Springs. How dreamy it was! It was still fresh and mesmerizing in my memories - woke up early in the morning to get the first dip before any other people, enduring the cold weather while walking towards the Onsen area with just wearing a yukata and an outer jacket. The most challenging part was during the clothes changing process right before and after the hot dip. Imagine, the wind was blowing strong and you are naked without any winter coat - that was insanely cold. However, I truly enjoyed the whole experience and I love it very mu...

Kyoto 京都: Byodoin Temple 平等院 || Uji 宇治

Byodoin Temple 平等院 is a temple that featured in the Japanese ￥10 coins. Therefore, it became a very popular sight-seeing temple that most of the visitors or foreigners or even the locals would visit it when they are in Uji, Kyoto. Furthermore, the water reflection of the temple makes it look fabulous even more! Soo beautiful. After having lunch with Morita-san and Kaz-san at a Tonkatsu restaurant in Uji, he then sent us to the Byodoin Temple which is very famous in Uji, Kyoto. Morita-san told us about the Byodoin Temple that featured in the Japanese ￥10 coins. If not, we would not noticed about it. We were here during the month of Autumn season. There were so many autumn trees around the temple. Just so beautiful. Byodoin garden opens at 08:30 and close at 17:30 (last admission at 17:15) Byodoin Museum, Hoshokan - Opens at 09:00 to 17:00 (last admission 16:45) Interior of Phoenix Hall - opens at 09:10 to 16:10 (viewing time starts at 09:30, 50 people at one time...
