☁️🏔️ Tengu Highland: Hokkaido’s Skywalk Above the Clouds 🌸🚡

#summervacay
Escape to **Tengu Highland** (天狗高原) in **Shikoku’s Ishizuchi Mountains**—a mystical alpine meadow where fog curls like dragon breath and summer hikers float above the mist! Here’s your guide to this *off-the-radar* Japanese wonder.

### **🌄 *MUST-EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS*:**
- **"Tengu’s Nose" Viewpoint:** Stand on the **jutting rock ledge** (like a mythical *tengu* goblin!) for 360° views of Shikoku’s peaks.
- **Summer Flower Carpets:** July-August explodes with **pink knotweed** and golden lilies—like a Monet painting come alive! 🌸🎨
- **Cloud Inversion Magic:** Arrive at **sunrise** to watch the valley drown in a **cotton-sea of fog** (best May-Oct). ☁️✨

### **🥾 *TRAVEL TIPS*:**
- **Hike Smart:** The trail from **Tengu Kogen Hotel** is steep (1.5hrs up)—wear proper shoes!
- **Stay Overnight:** Book the rustic **Tengu Kogen Hut** for starry skies and *onsen baths* after your trek. 🛖♨️
- **Fuel Up:** Try local *Ehime mikan orange soft serve* at the trailhead! 🍊🍦

### **📸 *PHOTO OPS*:**
- **Posing on the "Nose"** (looks like you’re flying over clouds!).
- **Golden hour** on the **wooden boardwalk** through flower fields.
