Tucked away in the remote northern reaches of Kumamoto, Tsuetate Onsen Resort, often referred to as ‘Kyushu’s Secret Haven,’ boasts a rich history spanning 1,800 years. Although its once vibrant atmosphere has mellowed with time, Tsuetate remains an enchanting destination. Visitors are drawn not only by the allure of its bygone splendor and the nostalgic ambiance of the Showa era but also by the enduring appeal of its hot springs. These thermal waters are celebrated for their beneficial health effects, adding to the unique charm of this historical retreat.
The last day trip I did in Japan was a motorcycle/hike trip to Sayama Hills in Tokorozawa, Saitama. I really wanted to get away from the noise of the city, so I tried to find a place that's close, but not crowded. People might know it because of its multiple Totoro forests, but I knew it because it's close to Seibuen, an amusement park with a retro town I was supposed to go to with my friends, but never managed to.
I know the outfit might not be the most interesting for you, but I still wanted to dress up. It still had to be practical enough for motorcycle and hiking (you'll realise the change to sneakers after the two first photos).
Outfit:Pants are Uniqlo, everything else is thrifted.
This is the thirteen-story wooden pagoda of Tanzan jinja in Sakurai-shi, Nara-prefecture. It was built in 1532 and is a reconstruction of the structure built by Jo'e in the Asuka Period.
