Isn’t it amazing to enjoy a beautiful bamboo forest without the crowds?🎋

Unlike the famous Arashiyama bamboo grove, Tenno Pond Bamboo Forest in Okayama offers the same magical atmosphere but is more peaceful and untouched. It is yours to explore anytime😌

The nearby shrine and Torii gate⛩️add an extra peaceful touch, making the place feel even more serene and special🍃

A shrine in Okayama featuring a red maple tree alongside golden ginkgo trees creates a stunning visual contrast❤️💛

One of the perks of visiting the countryside during autumn is having a stunning place to yourself, allowing you to enjoy the peacefulness and sounds of nature. I was hoping to see both the red Momiji tree and the Ginkgo tree at their peak colors, but due to the rain a few days before my visit, the red Momiji did not turn out as I expected😅
Nevertheless, the beauty of the location was still captivating, and I truly enjoyed my visit☺️

📍Tokuyama Shrine, Maniwa, Okayama Prefecture
#徳山神社

数日前に初めて真庭市の徳山神社に行きました。
この神社には、もみじと銀杏の木が隣になっているのがポイントで実際に行ってみたら数日前の雨の影響で紅葉がほぼ終わっていました。
残念でしたがまだ少しもみじが残っていて、地面が銀杏ともみじのカーペットになっていたのも綺麗でした。

One of the best kimono experiences in Japan👘❤️‍🔥

This is called Oiran, the highest-ranking courtesan in Japanese history, although it no longer exists in Japan.

Don’t worry about how to pose! Professional photographers are there to assist you with posing. The staff can also help you choose the perfect kimono combination. Their website offers an English version, and the staff can communicate in English, making it easy to make a reservation without hassle!

Renting the regular kimono for a day is fun, but let me tell you, trying out the Oiran experience takes it to a whole new level! I can’t recommend it enough; it’s truly unforgettable!😍

You can find their studio in Kyoto (Okazaki) & Tokyo (Minami-Aoyama)

💛The Ginkgo tree, known for its symbolism of longevity, is a fascinating survivor!
With its deep roots, some Ginkgo trees miraculously survived the atomic bomb blast in Hiroshima in 1945 and are still growing even today🥹

📸These photos were taken at Fukuda Shrine in Okayama. Upon entering here, you will welcomed by the large 650-year-old ginkgo trees.
Doesn't it look amazing? ☺️

Did you know that in Japan, the color red symbolizes the sacred source of life?🇯🇵

There’s a small village called Fukiya Village that produces a red pigment called bengara, which is used in many traditional Japanese crafts.🎨

This village lets you enjoy the peaceful and authentic beauty of a Japanese village.
It’s filled with old houses painted in Bengara red, creating a nostalgic and beautiful atmosphere—no wonder it has been designated as a Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings❤️

But that’s not all! Fukiya Village is also home to Japan’s oldest wooden school building, which operated from 1900 to 2012. Imagine the stories those walls could tell!🏫

If you visit in autumn, you’ll be treated to breathtaking foliage🍁And to top it off, the slightly chilly weather makes it the perfect time to indulge in delicious soup curry🍛😋

If you're seeking a unique autumn experience in Japan, consider exploring fields of susuki pampas grass instead of the typical red maple and yellow ginkgo trees🌾

This tall plant is lush green during the summer, but it transforms into a stunning display of shimmering gold and silver hues as autumn approaches.🤎

I think the most famous location to witness this breathtaking pampas grass field is Sengokuhara in Hakone, although there are numerous other options to admire this beautiful golden scenery.

🌾Some pampas grass fields in Japan include:
- Inatori Hosono Highlands, Shizuoka
- Yamanakako Panoramic Viewing Platform, Yamanashi
- Mt Iwawaki, Osaka
- Soni Highland, Nara
- Oishi Kogen Highland, Wakayama

📍Tonomine Highlands, Hyogo

Instagrammable Photo Spot in Singapore’s Chinatown🇸🇬🛍️ 日本語は下にあります↓

I visited Singapore’s Chinatown last year mainly to buy souvenirs, and I found this area to be more affordable than other places known for souvenir shopping.
After my visit, I found this lovely photo spot and thought I wanted to revisit Chinatown and take some photos.👀

So here are the photos that were taken just a month ago! ☺️ I think this photo spot is really pretty, and it was easy to take photos as no one else was taking pictures when we were there😆

What are your thoughts?🧡

During the autumn or early autumn in Japan, one of the must-see attractions is the Kochia bushes.🍂These plants start with vibrant green in the summer💚and then transform into a stunning shade of red during autumn.❤️

This picturesque park is situated in Kagawa Prefecture🗾 It is an ideal destination for travelers wishing to explore the Japanese countryside while avoiding the large crowds typically found at popular tourist spots.😉

If you think visiting Osaka is only great for exploring food, you're mistaken‼️🇯🇵

In northern Osaka, you'll find a temple filled with Daruma dolls, and I believe it's stunning and worth visiting, especially during autumn🍂
It’s easily accessible by public transportation, even though it's located on the mountainside of Minoh.⛰️

🔖Don’t forget to add this to your Osaka itinerary and buy your own Daruma doll when you visit here.

One of the most Instagrammble spots in Singapore🇸🇬🌿

Before my trip to Singapore, I made sure to mark this location on my Google Maps. And yes, I knew I might have to wait in line for this popular photo spot😆, but I thought visiting on a weekday might mean fewer crowds. Turns out, even on a weekday afternoon, we still had to wait for about 30 minutes.🤣

The wait was quite entertaining as I got to observe how others strike poses for their shot👀Since the line seemed never-ending due to the spot’s popularity, it was a great opportunity to let go of shyness and enjoy the moment while other people watched.💃

Would you be willing to wait in line for 30 minutes just to take pictures at the popular Instagram spot?📸
