4. Japan - places I would like to visit

Japan is a very beautiful country, which I would like to visit. There are breathtaking places such as e.g. Kawachi Fuji Garden, the 123 Torii Gates, Usa Shine shrine, ''White Egret'' castle, Bamboo Garden.

1/ Kawachi Fuji Garden

It's the fragrant wisteria tunnel with flowering vines overhead. The garden displays about 150 wisteria plants of 20 different species. 

2/ 123 Torii Gates

The 123 Torii gates stretches from the Motonosumi-Inari Shrine to the cliff overlooking the ocean.

Motonosumi-Inari is a popular shrine where locals wish for success. The final Torii's donation box is placed out of reach at the top of the gate. It's believed that if you can successfully toss money into the box, all your wishes will come true.

3/ Usa Shine Shrine

It is the most important of thousands of shrines dedicated to Hachiman, the god of archery and war.

4/ ''White Egret'' Castle

The castle is frequently known as Hakuro-jō or Shirasagi-jō ("White Egret Castle" or "White Heron Castle") because of its brilliant white exterior and supposed resemblance to a bird taking flight.

5/ Fuji Bamboo Garden

This garden is said to be the world’s largest collection of bamboo, holding more than 450 varieties of bamboo from all around the world. The garden contains approximately 100,000 bamboo plants. The types of bamboo in the garden range from black bamboo to moso bamboo. The garden has benches to sit on, as well as bamboo sheds each holding a special type of bamboo.
