"Koganezaki Park" is located in Nishiizu, Shizuoka Prefecture. This place is the best sunset scenic spot in Nishiizu, and is an observation park with "Horse Rock", which was selected as one of the 100 strange rock formations 🌅 It was named "Koganezaki" because the rock surface shines golden when illuminated by the setting sun, and the yellowish light brown rock surface was created when the rock was transformed by hot spring water 🥸 But... the more you look at it... it's a horse 🐴 It looks so much like a horse, it's truly "Horse Rock"! It is also a sacred place where horse racing fans visit to pray for good luck! ※It is said to be a power spot that increases your luck in games🫢 The way the horse looks and its expression seems to change depending on the angle and the sunlight, so I would like to visit it at sunset next time😌 There are also walkways and observation decks, so it is a wonderful scenic spot where you can enjoy not only "Uma Rock" but also Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay✌️ -————————————— [Access🚃🚌] From "Shuzenji Station" on the Izu Hakone Railway Sunzu Line Take the Tokai Bus bound for "Matsuzaki" and get off at "Koganezaki Crystal Park" → Total time about 75 minutes ※We recommend going by car! -————————————— #summertrip #ShizuokaPrefecture #IzuPeninsula #IzuTrip #NishiIzu #KoganezakiPark #UmaRock #SunsetScenicSpot #OceanView #Geopark #100StrangeRocks #SurugaBay #Observatory #CameraTrip #SingleLensReflex #canoneosx9i #ILoveTravel #ILoveTravel #CutOutWorld #TravelingJapan #WhereShallIGoNext #japan #japantravel #100TravelStyles #Park2024

Dojima is a small island. Although it is small in size, it has unique natural beauty. The most attractive feature of this island is its clearly visible bay terrain. The entire island is surrounded by a circle of blue water. The island is surrounded by endless vast sea. The island itself forms a small inner bay harbor due to its flat terrain. Whenever the sun sets, the scenery of Dojima presents a different kind of charming style. The afterglow of the setting sun casts a layer of warm orange-red glow on the islands and the surrounding sea, and the sea reflects a golden halo, as if it were covered with sparkling pearls. Under the setting sun, Dogashima looks like a bright red pearl, shining with unique splendor on the sparkling sea. No wonder Dogashima has always been a popular destination for viewing the beautiful sunset, attracting countless travelers to come and enjoy this unique island scenery. #Tokyo Attractions

#thingstodo Kogane shrine welcomes you with its unique golden torii. It is a beautiful, large and very clean complex in the centre of the city. It is easy to get to and has a good parking area. I visited on a Wednesday and the place was deserted - perfect for me as I hate crowds. The last Friday of the month however, is busy with worshipers receiving their red seals.Highly recommended

The #IzuPeninsula has been designated a #geopark, and its rich nature is highly regarded around the world. A representative example of this is the #BlueCave at #DogashimaMarine.
