And when better days do return, what better way to celebrate than by conquering one of the world's most famous peaks.  Climbing Mt. Fuji was once considered a pilgrimage to honor the spirit of this beloved and beautiful mountain, and, still to this day, it makes for a perfect outdoor adventure.  ~ #MountFuji #mountainclimbing #outdoors #Japan #nature #adventure #VisitJapan Adventure, World, Outdoor, Nature, River, Mountain, Mountain Climbing, Mountains, Fuji

Imagine lazily cruising through a deep volcanic gorge in a rowboat while a waterfall forms rainbows in the mist around you. If that appeals to you, put Takachiho Gorge in Miyazaki Prefecture on your Kyushu itinerary. The gorge is formed by columnar jointing, the result of the rapid cooling of an ancient lava flow. The view from a boat directly up the nearly 60 feet high Manai Falls is truly thrilling. ~ ~ ~ #Takachiho #TakachihoGorge #Miyazaki #nature #outdoors #adventure #Japan #VisitJapan Takachiho, Waterfall, Lava Flow, Boat, Lava, Beautiful Places, Nature Adventure
