Kenrokuen Garden is a beautiful Japanese garden with an area of 11.4 hectares located on the heights of the central part of Kanazawa and next to Kanazawa Castle. The Maeda family, who ruled the Kaga Clan (the present Ishikawa and Toyama areas) in feudal times, maintained the garden from generation to generation. From its scale and beauty, it is regarded as one of the most beautiful feudal lords’ gardens in Japan. Kenrokuen Garden has a big artificial pond, and hills and houses are dotted in the garden. Visitors can appreciate the whole, dropping in at them. The big pond called “Kasumigaike” was compared to an open sea, and an island, on which an ageless hermit with miraculous power was believed to live, was constructed in the pond in hope of the long life and eternal prosperity of the lord. Kenrokuen, which means “having six factors”, was given the name because of the six attributes that bring out the perfect landscape of the garden: spaciousness, tranquility, artifice, antiquity, water cources, and magnificent view from the garden. There is a stone lantern designed in the image of the Japanese koto (harp) by the pond, which becomes the symbol of Kenrokuen Garden. There is a fountain created using the natural pressure of water flowing from the higher pond. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of the flowers and trees, such as plum and cherry blossoms in spring, azaleas and irises early in summer, and colorful red and yellow leaves in autumn. Besides, visitors will have a glorious view of seasonal natural beauty including the snow-covered landscape with yukitsuri (literally means snow hanging), which is performed for approximately one month from November 1 every year. This is a method of protecting the branches of the pine trees in the garden with ropes attached in a conical array to the trees in order to prevent the branches from breaking.

The Blue Lagoon was formed in 1976 during operation at the nearby geothermal power plant. In the years that followed, people began to bathe in the unique water and apply the silica mud to their skin.

Blue Lagoon’s mission is to promote wellness and energy for life through forces of nature. Using science and nature in harmony, we harness the incredible health-giving properties of Blue Lagoon and its active ingredients.

Kiyomizudera Temple in Kyoto was first built in 778. Since then, it has been supported by huge public devotion as one of the biggest religious symbols. In other words, it has been a spiritual hometown for all Japanese people, which is really unique unlike most other temples in Japan. The name of Kiyomizu means clear and holy water which has never stoped in the waterfall named Otowa. Fortunately, the temple is now such a famous tourist spot that there are many visitors not only from Japan but also from all over the world. Hopefully, they have a moment to feel peaceful in their minds and hearts.

Honolua Bay is a peaceful bay with beautiful snorkeling. They bay has a ban on fishing, so you can enjoy your time there without having to trip over fishing lines or see people fishing. This also means that there is a great number of many different kinds of fish in the bay to see. Around the dropoff of the reef, one can sometimes see dolphins, manta ray, etc. Turtles are almost guaranteed, and even an octopus has been spotted. The bay has a parking lot with free parking and a portapotty, but there is no lifeguard on duty. Mango trees and other fruit trees surround the bay and make for great snacking opportunities.

Hulopoe Beach at Manele Bay is a gorgeous white sand beach with some of Hawaii’s best snorkeling. And it is a lovely day trip from Maui. The Maui-Lanai Ferry departs and returns three times a day from Lahaina to Lanai (Hulopoe Beach is a 15-20 minute walk from the piers). During peak times and busy seasons you will need to buy your ferry tickets at least the day before your visit. Hulopoe is a massive and beautiful white sand beach, that due to it’s secluded location is one of the less frequented beaches you can visit in Hawaii. It also has lots of conveniences such as two rest rooms, multiple beach showers, picnic benches at the back of the beach and in the nearby park and camp grounds, beautiful trees offering shaded areas, and some of the best snorkeling on the Hawaiian Islands that you can reach without a private boat. And if you are camping, they even offer a few campsites just a couple hundred meters / yards away from this idyllic beach. Bring your own Food: They have a basic store at the dock at Lanai, but it is probably best to plan on brining food for the day with you. They have plenty of “relatively” inexpensive and vegan friendly groceries and restaurants in Lahaina. The Four Seasons Resort Lanai: The restaurant at The Four Seasons Resort Lanai does offer a few vegan meal and appetizer options, but unless you are prepared to pay a minimum of $30 per person for lunch at the resort (not counting drinks or appetizers), we suggest bringing your own food with you. But the resort is gorgeous and does have the best view of Hulopoe Beach and Manele Bay, so it is still well worth taking the walk up there.

Isolated in the mid Pacific, the Hawaiian Islands are the most remote major island group on Earth. They were formed as the Pacific Plate moved across a volcanic “hot spot” within the earth’s mantle. Lying 2,400 miles (3,862 km) from the nearest continent, they have never had connection to any other land mass. Natural crossings across this great expanse of ocean by animals and plants were extremely rare and very surprising occasions. After such accidental arrivals, and isolated from mainland populations, these pioneer organisms took strange courses of evolution and allowed a unique biota to develop. Unaccustomed to mainland competition, however, these remote native island ecosystems are defenseless against mainland alien species, and have been decimated by new grazers, predators and diseases. Haleakalā National Park, and its East Maui Watershed Partner neighbors, still harbor an astonishing relict of these native island ecosystems. The major effort of Haleakalā’s resource stewardship is to preserve intact this superb example of the Hawaiian Islands’ native ecosystems.

Central Park is so much more than just a large park in the middle of Manhattan. From people meditating, and practicing tai chi, to bikers, strollers, runners, & rollerbladers, and people playing every sport imaginable, Central Park has it all. And for those looking for a bastion of peace and tranquility, it is beautifully landscaped with ponds, rolling hills, and the most gorgeous trees – especially the Cherry Blossom trees in the spring. It has a couple of cafes and restaurants, but most people bring their own food and snacks and picnic in the park, enjoying each other’s company and a bit of people watching. For us vegans, I would highly recommend bringing your own food and enjoying a casual picnic in the park. There’s a wonderful vegan takeout named Blossom Du Jour, a couple of blocks away on Amsterdam Avenue between 67th & 68th Streets. There is also a vegan sushi takeout named Beyond Sushi a few blocks away on 56th near 6th Avenue, and there is a Whole Foods right on Columbus Circle (south west corner of the park) with lots of yummy vegan buffet items and vegan deserts for your picnic in the park. Here’s some notes from the Central Park Conservancy on Running in the Park: Offering both hilly and flat terrain and a combination of surfaces, Central Park is a runner’s paradise. The site of the TCS New York City Marathon’s final 3.2 miles, Central Park offers both a scenic and challenging course to all levels of runners. There are three optimal places to run in Central Park: The Reservoir: A soft surface, the Reservoir track is a 1.58-mile loop offering some of the best skyline views in the Park. In spring, cherry trees alongside the track are in bloom. Central Park Conservancy is renovating the Reservoir Running Track. Renovation work will occur in sections to cause as little disruption as possible. Runners will be diverted to the nearby bridle path, which has been prepared in anticipation of the increase in use. Learn more about the Reservoir and the renovation project here. Bridle Path: Runners can choose from three conjoined soft surface routes: The Reservoir loop, adjacent to the Reservoir Track, totals 1.66 miles; the North Meadow loop totals 1.1 miles; and the southern spur totals 1.5 miles. Park Drives: Circling the entire Park, the drives provide three long-distance routes – 6.1 miles, 5.2 miles, or 1.7 miles, or shorter distances if you cross the Park at a number of scenic locations. The best time to run on the drives is when the Park is closed to traffic: Monday through Friday, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm, and weekends from 7:00 pm Friday to 6:00 am Monday. When the Park is open to traffic, a runners’ lane is always available, but we do not recommend running along the Park drives when they are open to traffic. The Park is officially closed from 1:00 am-6:00 am. New York Road Runners is the premier sponsor of running events in Central Park. Visit NYRR.org for a list of upcoming events.
