Famous landmarks and hidden scenic gems
Japan is not only home to famous destinations known around the world, but also to many regions and landscapes that remain largely undiscovered.

The charm of local regions through Shiho’s eyes
Having photographed destinations across more than 70 countries and throughout Japan, Shiho believes that: “Japan’s most breathtaking sights are hidden in its local regions.” She says that when visiting these places, she often finds herself thinking: “It’s so beautiful—why am I the only one here? What a waste!”
While these places may be considered breathtaking sights by visitors, they are often simply part of everyday life for local residents and can easily go unnoticed.
That is why an outside perspective can help people realize just how special their hometown truly is.
