If you’re sick and tired of hearing about Tokyo DisneySea, Mount Fuji, and the many other famous temples and shopping streets of Japan, this is the post for you. Because honestly, we have heard more than enough about how awesome those places are. Japan is a pretty big country with plenty of reasons for us Singaporeans to visit, and we refuse to believe that such an awesome place has only these to offer so we began digging. And, oh boy, did we hit the jackpot. Here are 10 underrated Instagram-worthy places in Japan with views so good you will not want to leave anymore. Shirakawa Village Image: yokoso-japan.jp This UNESCO world heritage site is so beautiful and historic, yet little know about it. Located in Ono district, Gifu prefecture, Shirakawa-go is a small remote village built in “gassho style,” which makes it so unique and amazingly pretty. The scenic view of the villages alongside the mountains, no matter the season, just makes it more unbelievable and breathtaking. Kinosaki Onsen Image: regex.info Kinosaki Onsen is a hot spring town in Hyogo. Resembling an old village, this entire town is a hot spring spot with traditional Japanese inns and shops for visitors. Do visit Kinosaki especially if you’re travelling in winter, because your Instagram posts will stun your followers like vegetable. Lake Ashinoko Image: viator.com Apart from the Fuji Five lakes which tourists often visit hoping to catch a shot of Mt Fuji, there is one more lake you can go to. Lake Ashi, located in the Hakone area slightly outside Tokyo, features an astonishing view of nature. And if you're lucky enough to catch the shy Mt Fuji, your efforts of getting 100 Instagram likes won’t be in vain! Mt Norikura Image: mynagoya.net If you’ve already been to Mt Fuji or want something slightly beaten off the track, venture to Mt Norikuradake located on the borders of Gifu and Nagano prefectures. It is Japan’s third tallest mountain, and a potentially active volcano listed among Japan’s 100 famous mountains. Mori Tower Image: tokyocheapo.com Everyone knows Tokyo Tower, by knowledge or by your friend’s Instagram post on your feed. But there’s another tower that you can visit for a city view, yes, including Tokyo Tower itself. You won’t be able to see Tokyo Tower if you’re inside it right? Aokigahara Forest Image: pinterest.com Aokigahara, or the Sea of Trees, is a vast forest that lies at the base of Mt Fuji.
