At the end of our trip in Japan, I decided to spend a few days in Shikoku, Tokushima prefecture. I have never had the chance to come here, and it's simply... Beautiful. Nature, greenery, woods, silence. And I realised that I miss my mountains. #Japan #Shikoku #nature #adventure #naturephotography

A narrow waterfall cascades down a moss-covered rocky cliff in Shikoku, Japan, tumbling into a small, tranquil pool below. Sunlight filters through the dense green foliage surrounding the falls, illuminating the water and rock in vibrant shades of green. The lush vegetation frames the scene on both sides, creating a serene, almost magical corner of the Japanese wilderness.

The bird has dark feathers with a lighter, speckled throat and chest, and a hooked yellow beak, resting calmly amid the rugged, textured rock. Dense green foliage fills the background, with soft, diffused daylight creating a quiet, intimate portrait of this skilled fishing bird in its natural habitat.

A crystal-clear green river flows through a rocky gorge in Shikoku, Japan, framed by steep, rugged cliffs and dense, forested hills rising on both sides. The overcast sky lends soft, even light to the lush landscape, emphasizing the pristine, untouched beauty of this Japanese river valley.

Slowly enjoyed Kibune, today, where the signs are still in Japanese. #kyoto #japan #japantravel

A quiet, winding street in Kibune, a secluded mountain village north of Kyoto. A light green vintage car drives up the narrow road, framed by a lush canopy of green trees. Traditional wooden buildings with Japanese signage — likely the ryokan and restaurants famous for their riverside kawadoto dining — line the left side, while a stone wall runs along the right. A yellow scooter rests near the edge, and pedestrians stroll along the sidewalk as dappled sunlight filters through the leaves, capturing the serene, timeless atmosphere of this hidden mountain retreat.

Not so much #silentsunday in #Kanazawa, today. Japan has changed a lot over the years. Places that used to be silent are now full of tourists 24/7 and often have lost their quite atmosphere. I just hope Kanazawa doesn't become as crowded as Kyoto. #traveling #Japan

A charming view of the Higashi Chaya district in Kanazawa, Japan, featuring a narrow, stone-paved street lined with traditional wooden teahouse buildings in warm, earthy tones. Long, graceful branches of a willow tree droop overhead, creating a natural canopy that frames the scene.

The thing I love about our hikes is seeing our dogs enjoying them sometimes even more than us. We let them off leash when the trail is empty, and in this period it's simple perfect. I don't think they'll have any problem at all, hiking on the Kungsleden. #mondog #dogsofmastodon #DogsOfFedi #hiking
