The 100 landscapes of Heisei era

Here is the list of the 100 landscapes of Heisei Era, that we visited in a single year in 2017-2018.

The Heisei election is an official list, created in 2009 originally as a way for the Yomiuri Shimbun to celebrate its 135th birthday. The point was to update the last big nationwide landscapes election, which dated back to 1927 and the first years of Emperor Hirohito.
