A Journey to the Country Side of Japan: Exploring The Site of Reversible Destiny
Yoro Park, Japan.
Wow.
Where do I begin? It’s hard to even start talking about this amazing adventure.
First of all, I can’t thank my friend Christina Song enough for adding The Site of Reversible Destiny to our trip itinerary. As soon as she showed me some photos of the place, I was all in. Isn’t it the best when you travel with friends and they’re willing to go on an adventure outside of the city? I love Christina!
It took us about 4-5 hours to get there and we took a few sorts of transportation; speed train, bus, taxi, and by feet! Getting there was an experience in itself. That night we stayed at Yusennosato Hotel Nadeshiko, which was extremely cute! The booking came with breakfast and we relaxed the first night at the Onsen (Hot Spring). The next morning, we walked from the hotel to The Site of Reversible Destiny.
If you plan on going, be prepared to walk a good amount- The Site was created as a place of both artistic and athletic expression, and the layout encourages you to move your body and explore! Remember to also take a good camera because you’re going to want to take a bunch of pictures of this out-of-the-ordinary park.
When we visited, the weather was perfect! It was cloudy and just cool enough for a light jacket. I don’t know what it was, but the lighting on all the pictures I took was on point and the selfies we took, flawless! ;) For this reason, I would recommend visiting when the weather is mild if you’re able to!
My favorite part of this travel experience was the beautiful colors everywhere! My eyes were going crazy and were overwhelmed by how unique The Site is. There’s this colorful maze you can walk through when you go inside the building pictured above. It’s like a little museum showing how the whole site was created. It’s truly fascinating, and you can certainly expect the unexpected when you visit this unusual ‘experience park.’
As you scroll through the pictures, below you’ll see this thin walkway. That takes you up around the tallest section of The Site. As the walkway is so narrow, it only fits one person, so you have to walk in a row. The walkway comes to an end, so you have to turn around if you bump into anyone! I can’t imagine how it gets when there’s a ton of people visiting. Who knows! We got really lucky and we only saw about 4-5 other people when we were there.
