In CNA's regular look at what hit the headlines during the week, Five on Friday gets you travel-ready for your next trip to Japan and Taiwan now that both places have reopened to visitors.

Located in Northern Japan, Miyagi is part of the Tohoku region that also includes Akita, Aomori, Fukushima, Iwate and Yamagata.In autumn, the region’s lush greenery changes colour, painting the landscape in stunning red, orange and yellow hues.

Want a more unique experience? Try going on a sunset hot air balloon ride over the bay for a bird’s eye view of the islands. If you’ve always wanted to see the country’s famous flowers but are discouraged by high ticket prices and crowded viewing spots in larger cities, consider this as an alternative.

Don’t worry about getting there – Aomori is easily accessible from Tokyo via bullet train, as well as by plane to its two regional airports.If you’re looking for a day away from the hustle and bustle of Taiwan’s main island, Green Island may be worth a visit. Also in Green Island is the Zhaori Hot Springs, one of only three saltwater hot springs in the world. Take a dip at one of three pools near the sea, or buy eggs to boil in the hot water.
