#Repost @hanas.travel.journal • • • • • • Japan What I love most about living in Japan is discovering hidden gems like this - places you probably wouldn’t go to if you had only 2-3 weeks in the country... ❤️🇯🇵 These photos are from Mount Ikoma, where we spontaneously decided to go one evening, just to see what’s there... And it took my breath away! The temples, the tiny streets of the village, cable car that took us up, night city views... There’s much more to explore so I’ll be surely back soon!😊 If you are looking for a little bit off-the-beaten-path place to visit in Japan (for the times when travel is possible again), save this post and visit Mount Ikoma!😊 I’m sure it’ll surprise you... * * * 🇸🇰 Co mam najradsej na zivote v Japonsku (alebo vseobecne v inych krajinach) je to, ked sa nam podari objavit miesta kde by sme sa pocas 2-3 tyzdnovej dovolenky asi len tazko dostali... ❤️🇯🇵 Do Ikomy sme sa vybrali celkom spontanne jeden vecer, ze len sa pozriet co tam je... A teda zostali sme pekne prekvapeni!😄 Nadherne chramy na uboci hor, uzke ulicky malej dedinky po nimi, vyhlad na mesto, dokonca aj pozemna lanovka co nas tam vyviezla bola proste super!😊 Je tam teda toho co objavovat, jeden vecer nam nestacil a nabuduce zostaneme cely den.. Ak sa chystate do Japonska (ked sa opat bude dat cestovat), ulozte si tento post ako inspiraciu na nie tak celkom turisticke originalne miesto na navstivenie... Isto vas ocari tak ako mna... 😊 * * * #mountikoma #ikoma #hozanji #explorejapan #visitjapanjp #visitjapan #traveljapan #expatinjapan #japanlife #kansai #kansai_trip #discoverjapan #myjapan https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdoGmNgvB-/?igshid=1l5kysl86c6ru
