Witness the rugged summer beauty of Japan’s far north ✨

Cape Tappi in Aomori Prefecture is on the northern coast of Japan’s main island of Honshu. Its name, which means “dragon flight”, is taken from its strong winds which blow like a flying dragon. 🐉

Aside from its breathtaking natural beauty, Cape Tappi also sits above the Seikan tunnel – an underground bullet train track linking Honshu to southern Hokkaido, and the longest undersea tunnel in the world. While you can’t hop aboard here, you can learn all about this engineering marvel at the nearby Seikan Tunnel Museum! 🚅

Discover a National Treasure, standing on a sacred mountain 🌄✨

This splendid wooden pagoda stands on Mt. Haguro, the lowest of the Dewa Sanzan – Yamagata’s three sacred peaks. Recognised as a National Treasure of Japan, the pagoda is said to have stood in its current form for over 600 years!

Here you can experience the ascetic spirituality of the “yamabushi”, Buddhist pilgrims who practice the unique Shugendo religion. Trek the ancient pathways through a 1,000 year old cedar forest, pray with the yamabushi, and cap your day off with shojin ryori, a unique Buddhist vegetarian cuisine! 😋

Dare to experience Japan’s wild side on these bridges of vines? 🌿

The secluded Iya Valley in Tokushima Prefecture once housed thirteen of these “kazurabashi” vine bridges, but now only three remain. The most popular is the Iya Kazurabashi, which hangs over 45 feet above the water! It’s certain to liven up your hike with a spike of adrenaline. 🥾

During less peaceful times these bridges were powerful deterrents to invaders, as they could easily be cut down to keep out enemy armies. Don’t worry, though – these days they’re reinforced with hidden steel cables so you can cross in complete safety! 🤗
