La Collina Omihachiman

This facility, created by Club Harie, is a fusion of nature and architecture. The main shop, with its entire roof covered in grass, has an appearance that is like something out of a fairy tale. Every spot is a picturesque photo spot, with a garden filled with seasonal flowers and a forest of acorns.

撮影のコツ

Metasequoia Avenue

This tree-lined road stretches for approximately 2.4 km in Takashima City. The tunnel made up of approximately 500 metasequoia trees shows different faces throughout the seasons, from fresh greenery to autumn leaves and snowy scenery. It has also been used as a filming location for Korean dramas and is a popular driving spot with spectacular views. It is especially magical in the early mornings when shrouded in morning mist.
