Blue Cotton Waterfall Volcano Sea of Clouds and Rainforest Waterfall Moved by Sincerity

Blue Cotton Waterfall is located at the foot of Semeru, the highest volcano in East Java, Indonesia. Even during the rainy season, you can see the waterfall and volcano in the same frame in the early morning. Buy some tropical fruits, sit on chairs prepared by the locals, wait for the sea of clouds to disperse, and quietly enjoy the beauty of the tropical rainforest. The locals will voluntarily help you get into the water to take photos without expecting anything in return. They want to help us preserve the beauty of tropical travel so that more people will come to visit their hometown. There was a young man wearing an Indonesian Independence Day outfit who helped many people take photos in the stream. I was touched by his dedication. After the photoshoot, I gave him a small tip and bumped fists with him, sincerely thanking him. Location: Wisata View Kapas Biru

Borobudur Temple

Wondering where epic scenery collides with sacred architecture? 🌄 My recent trip delivered—Borobudur’s legendary temple and the tranquil Udo Shrine in Nichinan were absolute highlights! Top Spots to Visit 1. Borobudur Temple (Borobudur, Indonesia) 🕍 Address: 96R3+RH6, Kw. Candi Borobudur, Borobudur, Kec. Borobudur, Kabupaten Magelang, Jawa Tengah 56553 Open: 06:30–17:30 (last entry 16:30) | Fee: $20 Tip: Aim for an early visit—the morning light dancing over the stupas is magical, and you dodge crowds/heat. Notice the weather: it swings between sunny, cloudy, and sudden downpours, so pack a poncho or portable umbrella. Bring snacks and water; not much is sold inside, and you’ll want to linger. 2. Udo Shrine (Nichinan, Japan) ⛩️ Address: 3232 Miyaura, Nichinan, Miyazaki 887-0101 Open: 07:00–18:00 Insider nugget: Tucked into dramatic coastal cliffs, the shrine is stunning rain or shine (but clouds and mist amplify the vibe!). Don’t miss the ritual—toss a lucky stone in the turtle-shaped rock below for good fortune. How to Get Around Download a local map to navigate the temple complex and shrine area—signal can be finicky. In Indonesia, Grab taxis are reliable for reaching Borobudur. For Udo Shrine, local buses or taxis from Nichinan work best. Food Picks Near Borobudur: Try a warung (small restaurant) for authentic Indonesian fried rice (nasi goreng). At Nichinan: Grab fresh seafood at a local izakaya after your shrine visit. Travel Smarts Admission is cash-only at Borobudur, so bring small bills. At both sites, dress modestly (respectful for temples/shrines). Weather can shift fast—layer up or bring rain protection. #BorobudurMagic #JapanShrineTrail #TravelTips #CulturalSites #tripdotcom
