Mt. Osorezan, a 2-hour drive from Misawa Air Base, is known as one of the most sacred powerspots in Japan. The mountain is made up of views that remind you of hells (deserted sulfured mountains and statues of Buddha) and a paradise of beautiful green lake and white beach, which showcasing unworldly mysterious look to visitors. Locals believe when you die you come back to this mountain.

Why not drive over here to check such a sacred, mysterious look yourself?

Today’s Japanese phrase is:

“Nante shinpitekina nagame desho!” なんて神秘的な眺めでしょう! = What a mysterious look it is!

“nante.. desho!” なんて・・でしょう! = What a ... it is!, "shinpitekina" 神秘的な = mysterious, "nagame" 眺め = look
