Inami: Yokamachi-dori (Cat Street)

Still dusty from exploring an abandoned clinic, on the way back to the car I chance upon a very pretty little street.

Among the Groves of Takayama

I had the chance to live in Takayama for three weeks. So, of course, I can share my experience with you.

Some crowds
Half day for the old town (Sanmachi) and Miyagawa River stroll; 1–2 days if using Takayama as a base for nearby trips (e.g., Shirakawa-go, Okuhida, Gero, or the Nakasendo towns like Tsumago/Magome).

Taketomi: The Bougainvilleas Island

It's early morning in Okinawa and the sky is already ocean blue. Without any hesitation, we jump right away in the first boat direction the paradise: the Taketomi Island!

Some crowds
Half day to full day (easy as a day trip from Ishigaki)
