A Journey from Tokyo to the Japanese spirit in the heart of Yamakoshi
Yamakoshi is another idyllic place for a glimpse of the Japanese countryside. It boasts breathtaking views of rice paddy fields, pine forests, and koi ponds so exquisite that they belong in a painting. Words cannot describe how hospitable and kind these people are, not to mention the incomprehensible beauty of their landscape and traditions. The journey to golden terraced rice fields, mountainous scenery, misty mornings, beautiful sunsets and the gloriously extravagant Nishikigoi is surprisingly very simple for somewhere so remote.
For most travellers (especially first-timers) visiting the Land of the Rising Sun, the focus is often on exciting cities like Tokyo and Osaka. While there’s no denying that these are iconic destinations, the idyllic towns and villages in Japan are also worth exploring. More than just a change of scenery and pace, these also allow you to experience a different side of Japan — with fewer crowds!
