Takachiho Gorge, Japan 

Takachiho is a town in northern Miyazaki Prefecture that is known for its religious importance and natural beauty year-round. Row down the river to see the famous Minainotaki waterfall or walk on the walkway if you want to enjoy the view from above. 

 If you walk all the way down, you will end up at the Takachiho Shrine. Here you can learn more about the legend of the Shinto sun goddess, Amaterasu, that the town is known for. Reenactments of the legend, called Yokagura (night dances), are performed nightly.

    I love this! Again, another coincidence! On the week of Thanksgiving, I went to Osaka, Japan! Japan is such a beautiful country! I wish I saw your blog so I could've went to Takachiho! The waterfall looks so beautiful! When I went to Japan, we visited a lot of temples. We also went to Kobe, Kyoto, and Tokyo! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place!

      In Kootenay National Park, you'll be able to see glacier-peaked mountains to grasslands with desert cacti. Located in southeastern British Columbia, Canada, this park is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site. You'll see icy mountain rivers, meadows and lakes, but make sure you also stop by the famously steamy, Radium Hot Springs.  New surprises are guaranteed to await you around every corner. Adventurers can spend the day exploring Sinclair Canyon, visiting cascading waterfalls, or backcountry trails, like the Numa Pass. Camping is available from May to September.  There's something for everyone.  If you prefer not to venture out, you can enjoy a beautiful, scenic drive of the Canadian Rockies!
