Sandanbeki Cliffs
Returning to Sandanbeki, Wakayama, this was the last photo I managed to get after exploring the caves (big emphasis on "after the caves", I still have more photos to upload). Prior to seeing this cliffside I wasn't aware this was a highly photographed spot, much less a national park! (Or what goes as a national park in Japan cause whatever the critique is, it's VERY different from the USA). The colors on the cliff were not tampered with in the editing phase, it really was a stunning composition in of itself. I also thought about editing the white hotels in the back out. But on the other hand, I don't think they impacted the photo in a negative way, so I just made them a bit darker.
You can walk out to the edge of that cliff, but the view isn't as good over there as it was here. Nor is there a very good foreground.
But don't let the name fool you. There will of course be some people out here, but compared to other spots around Honshu, it's a paradise away from civilization. Wakayama is, after all, one of the most isolated, and naturally challenging places to get out to, despite google maps will tell you it's around a 2 hour drive from Osaka. But say you went to Fuji Hakone national park and there was just way too many people (which would be a relatable situation) I would highly recommend coming here instead, there are far fewer tourists here.
