Japan might not be on everyone’s bucket list, but it is not your average place with scenic beauty. It is quite an interesting place to be, however, if you do visit Japan for its scenic beauty, you should definitely go in the month of February, March, or April, that is when you get to experience the spectacular view of the cherry blossoms. The pink serenity and shedding petals are sure to get you hooked to Japan and you will want to experience the pink petal-fall rather than your regular snowfall. You also have the exceptional Mt. Fuji, Naoshima Island, the city of Hiroshima, and also Tohoku. Apart from the scenery, Japan carries in itself quite a few other tourist spots like Asakusa which is a place particularly for tourists, Tokyo Station which is a voyage to the old times since its station was built over a century ago, Yoyogi Park is a fun place to visit especially for kids’ amusement. A very interesting place is Yurakucho where there are remote pubs under the railroad tracks.

4. Pamukkale, Turkey

Earth

Pamukkale is definitely not your regular place to visit, which makes it all the more alluring to take a trip to this ‘city of minerals’. Pamukkale is a natural spa place with mineral-clad shores by the beautiful turbulent waters. Turkish people refer to it as the castle of cotton since it is so fair and white all over and is filled with flowing streams and springs and also travertines. The only con is the availability of hotels since there are not many presents. However, if you can book in advance then everything should work out well. Especially for nature lovers this is a divine and surreal experience and should definitely be one of the topmost places on their bucket list.

6. Santorini, Greece

The Minoan settlement was completely disrupted by the volcano centuries ago, as it was one of the most destructive volcanoes in the history of the world.
