Because I love Asuka so much! I visited this place in October and was overwhelmed with its beauty! It's a town in the area of Japan's very cradle of civilization!

Sorry, it's nowhere near Tokyo.
There are many more wonderful places to visit than just that one city, here. :)

Asuka is a dream come true. I couldn't believe what a gorgeous place it was when I first visited. :) I'd love to show it to everyone!

Lovely indeed!

Reminds me of a similar place quite near where I live( [link] )

Oh wow! Yeah that's lovely!!
Now you know what I mean! A photo can't possibly capture the depth of that kind of view, right? Just a joy to the eyes! :) Where is that??

Pity the photos are so small at the website... but seraching for "Nova Petrópolis" at google may give you some better images: thereīs also a wikipedia page for it, too( though it must be translated from Portuguese, it may be done using google translator, too )

Actually, thatīs a small city about 50km far from my own; itīs located at the upper slopes of the suothernmost edge of Brazilian plateau, a region here in suoutehrn Brazil that was colonized mostly by German imigrants( while the uppermost, quite nearby was colonized by Italian imigrants ); rather near, thereīs "Ivoti", thatīs one of the few communities that has a rahter significant community of Japanese imigrants and their descendants( so, the region has something alike as Asuka, though the Japanese are quite newcomers there, while the others already were around since 150 years ago ^^ ); since all those people are living quite near, their influences on architecture may be a little mingled together, though, ought to be easier to a rahter colder climate and ought easily find wood and stone as construction materials, their houses are mostly German or Northern Italian( Veneto )alike designed.

However, whatīs most beautiful is the contrast among the higlands, its inhabited slopes( with some small towhs quite clinged at it )and the lowlands below^^
