All kinds of colorful fish swim among the coral, making you feel like you're in an underwater paradise.

San'en-zan Kodo-in Zojoji Temple
Located at the base of Tokyo Tower is Zojoji, an Omotoyama temple of the Jodo sect of Buddhism. Enshrined in Zojoji's Ankokuden Hall is the hidden black image of Buddha worshipped by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo period. Since he won one battle after after another, visiting this temple is said to increase the chance of victory.
Seeing Tokyo Tower paired with a temple is really something, and it’s unexpectedly beautiful.

Mt. Otowa Kiyomizu-dera Temple
Opened in the year 778, the temple was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1994. In the 130, 000 m2 area of the precincts spread out on the hillside of Mt. Otowa, there are more than 30 cathedrals and monuments, including national treasures and important cultural properties.
You don’t need to “get it” here—you just need to stay for a while. After you visit, you’ll understand why everyone makes sure to put it on their itinerary.

Juhyo (Rime) in Zao (Yamagata Prefecture)
Zao in Yamagata Prefecture is one of the largest mountain resorts in the Tohoku region. In winter, Zao is a mecca for winter sports, and many tourists come to enjoy the "juhyo," or tree ice formed by snow and ice on the trees.
The second I took my gloves off, I regretted it within 3 seconds. But I still had to get photos—there’s no way you can see scenery like this in Taiwan. You’ve gotta come at least once in your life.
