Tucked away in the forested hills of Kumamoto, Japan, there's a waterfall that doesn’t just flow—it invites you in. Nabegataki Waterfall may not be the tallest or the loudest in Japan, but it offers something far rarer: the chance to walk behind the cascading water and stand inside the waterfall itself. And if you come early in the morning, when fog still clings to the trees, the scene takes on an almost mythical quality—as if you’ve stepped through a veil into another world.

You might think you know Prince Edward Island—green rolling hills, red sand beaches, and of course, Anne of Green Gables. But this little island on Canada’s eastern coast is more than a page from a book. It’s a place where nature whispers in your ear, locals wave like old friends, and time doesn’t hurry.
