Japan Autumn Niigata



Japan Autumn Niigata We went on a trip to Echigo Yuzawa to see the autumn foliage in Japan. It is one of the best sightseeing spots in Japan for autumn leaves. In this large mountain area you have the choice between many resorts which are usually ski resorts and catering to winter enthusiasts. There is no question that #Naeba Ski Resort is one of the best autumn color spots in Japan and it is close to Tokyo. Easily reachable by Shinkansen and a 40 minute ride on a bus to Naeba Ski Resort. Another good and entertaining viewing spot for autumn colors is #Yuzawa #Kogen, which is easily reachable on foot from Echigo Yuzawa Station. The month of October is a good time to view autumn colors in Echigo Yuzawa in Japan.

Visiting Switzerland




Last year July we went to visit my son in Switzerland. It was epic and I miss traveling. Maybe next year again.

Lake Towada





Lake Towada, this gorgeous remote lake is a highlight for me on our travel to North Japan because of the surrounding nature. It invites the traveler to wander along the lake and the Oirase gorge. 800 years ago only wilderness surrounded this lake and the occasional visit of Japanese ascetic hermits. During the annual autumn colors lots of tourists visiting Lake Towada and Oirase Gorge.

Mixed Seaside Onsen





Onsen are very popular in Japan and seaside onsen are rare. Aomori has a mixed seaside Onsen facing West for the perfect sunset. Close by is a beach made of 1000 stone tatamis, going further North to the tip of Aomori you will find wind farms overseeing beach forests. Come with me on a road trip to North West Japan
