If you’re a fan of eerie, cinematic atmospheres with a hint of mystery—but still want to soak in nature’s raw beauty—then the Eucalyptus Pine Forest in the Dieng Plateau deserves a spot on your travel bucket list.

Welcome to Owakudani—one of Japan’s most unusual and naturally hostile locations, and one that feels like it sits right at the edge of the spirit world.
