It’s also holding a contest to review the sites, and I entered! You can too! Read my review below then scroll down more info about the contest and other amazing virtual travel destinations in Japan you can enjoy from the comfort of your armchair!
So many amazing 360 virtual travel views of Japan to choose from! I love them all! The Kawachi Wisteria Garden is a special one. Japan’s focus on natural beauty evokes peace and harmony. Loved the Himeji Castle view and it brings back great memories of our family visit there! The one on onsen…. don’t make me cry! How I miss onsen in Japan!!!!! Mt. Fuji Sunrise was a close call, but my favorite has to be the view of Mt. Fuji from the Chureito Pagoda. I have not been there, but the 360 makes me feel as if I have and am! When Covid settles down again, I will be looking forward to my return trip to Japan to see it in person! During sakura too! My only critique is that on some photos a better job of blotting out faces would make it less distracting from the subject – Beautiful Japan! Arigato!!! ありがとうございました
Here I am at the remains of the original Kumano Hongu Taisha when I walked the Kumano Kodo last October.
Kumano Hongu Taisha and Oyunobara are Included in the sacred site a Kumano Sanzan. Hongu Taisha used to be located by the Kumano River at a place now known as however after damaged in the over flooding in 1889 the surviving buildings were relocated to the present site Oyunohara is known as a place where deities descended to earth in the form of three moons into the branches of an oak tree. There’s still a small stone shrine in the center of the sacred clearing.

I reviewed several, and listed my favorite the View Fuji from the Chureito Pagoda. Located in the Arakurayama Sengen park, the Chureito Pagoda is the most quintessential view of Japan, period.
