beautiful natural view

Dorrigo + Iwakuni absolutely wowed me with nature ✨🌉. If you want stunning scenery and iconic spots, here’s what not to miss! Must-See Place: 🌉 Kintaikyo Bridge Address: Iwakuni, Yamaguchi 741-0062, Japan Open: Year-round, all day (snap sunrise or sunset pics for peak vibes!) What’s cool: The bridge itself is a jaw-dropper, arching gracefully over the river with mountainous backdrops and zen energy everywhere. It’s especially epic for photography fans — bring a wide-angle lens if you have one! The natural views are next-level, from lush tree-lined banks to seasonal cherry blossoms. Local tip: Go early to beat bus crowds and enjoy the tranquility (I got there before 9am for near-empty views). The riverside has a few little cafes if you want to vibe with a coffee! Getting around: Public transit is straightforward in Iwakuni; hop local trains from Hiroshima or Yamaguchi, then grab a bus direct to the bridge. Walking from the station is doable if you fancy a gentle stroll. Food recs: Try “Iwakuni sushi” at riverside restaurants — it’s a layered sushi unique to this area. Grab a sweet treat at a mom-and-pop snack shop near the bridge entrance! Other handy tips: Cash is still king in smaller towns, so hit an ATM beforehand. Weather can be misty — pack a lightweight poncho so you’re good rain or shine. #japantravel #dorrigotrip #kintaikyobridge #natureviews
