A Train Station in Japan
There's nothing quite like being left along on a Japanese train station in the middle of nowhere, with only rice paddies for company. I looked on a scene immortalised by the anime of Hayao Miyazaki (famous for classics such as Spirited Away and My Friend Totoro). Any moment the lamps beside me would come to life and hop away, guiding me to my destination as the night closed in on a cloud of fog.
The Ancient Forests of Yakushima Island
Yakushima Island, Japan, is covered in a forest of cedar. Many of the trees here are at least 1000 years old, with some nearing 7000 years. What a wondrous place for a walk!
