Sapporo Reflection
There is a small park with two beautiful ponds next to the old Sapporo government building.
A very meditative spot right in the centre of this Northern metropolis.

Sapporo at sunset
view from the JR (Japan Rail) Tower.
This building was completed in 2003 and is 173 meters high.
The only thing I hated when going around the 38th storey was the very repetitive background music.
As an aside: when you go there, have a look at the toilets - I do not think that there’s a loo with a better view anywhere on this planet

Crater Lakes of Japan
The “Okano” crater lake at Zao San (Near Yamagata, Japan) lies still and displays its incredibly green colour - for a few seconds before it is again covered by mist.
Much less peaceful: the crater lake of Mount Aso on Kyushu (Japan), also shows an impressive greenish colour.
