Hayakawa-chō, Japan http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/nishiyama-onsen-keiunkan
Fifty-two generations have maintained this spot, often recognized as the world's oldest inn. Channel your inner samurai as you repose yourself and commune with nature in the splendor of ancient hot springs and mountain vistas.
THE DARK HEDGES
Armoy, Northern Ireland http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-dark-hedges
When this tree tunnel appeared shrouded in mist on season two of Game of Thrones, it looked too fantastical to be real. But the spooky thoroughfare actually exists in Northern Ireland, where it is known as the Dark Hedges—or, more mundanely, Bregagh Road. —Ella Morton, Associate Editor
OKINAWA'S STAR-SHAPED SAND
Taketomi, Japan
On a beach in Okinawa, the sand is made of stars. Each multi-pointed grain is a shell produced by microscopic, unicellular protists known as Foraminifera. Where else would you have the opportunity to let a million stars sift through your fingers? —Ella Morton, Associate Editor
