One more along the Mutsu Bay with a special appearance by my husband :) This part of Northern Japan is full of natural beauty and lacking in skyscrapers. When one thinks of Japan, we often think of the big city scenes of Tokyo. Our stay in Northern Japan has shown me how much more Japan has to offer. I will always treasure my time spent in the countryside of this beautiful nation. #goldenhour
While driving along the coast of the Shimokita Peninsula we caught a beautiful sunset over the Mutsu Bay. Northern Japan is often ignored in the guidebooks, but the natural beauty it offers is not to be missed. Take the Shinkansen from Tokyo up to Aomori and from there the local trains and buses will do the rest.  #goldenhour
This was one spectacular sunset. Located way up on the western coast of the Shimokita Peninsula, Hotokegaura is one spot not to be missed on an exploration of Northern Japan. Massive limestone cliffs and water as far as the eye can see...makes a person feel a bit small. #japan #weekendgetaway #goldenhour #sunset

Although the rooms are compact, they are so well designed and provisioned, it worked for 5 people and all of our bags. The included breakfast is always welcomed, and the rooms are spotless.
