🥇 The Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park, Sedona, The US by @sjarvie5

The Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park is a Buddhist place of peace and blessing in Sedona, Arizona. It was very tranquil as we walked around the stupa, prayer wheels, wooden Buddha, and the Native American medicine wheel. The Peace park located in a residential area in West Sedona. On the map below you can see SR179 or the Red Rock Scenic Byway that cuts right through Tlaquepaque. To get to the Peace Park you go left on 89A towards west Sedona and then head north to the park.

🥈 Day And Night At The Famous Buddhist Temple In Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan by @wittyzell

If you're in Tokyo, you shouldn't miss the district of Asakusa. It's located in Taito-ku, in the northern region of Tokyo. Asakusa is quite famous, it's the cultural center of Tokyo and has a wide shopping district. Not only that, there's a large Buddhist temple that's flocked with tourists all year long. The famous large Buddhist Temple in Asakusa is called Sensoji Temple (浅草寺). It also goes by the name Kinryu-zan Senso-ji (金龍山浅草寺) and Asakusa Kannon (浅草観音). Can you believe it's Tokyo's oldest temple?

🥉 Somewhere only we know, Hernani, Eastern Samar, The Philippines by @patsitivity

If you've traveled before, you're well aware of the generic options on how to reach a destination. There are guided tours for more comfortable, standardized tours, but if you want to be spontaneous and more interested to take the the beaten path, Do it yourself (DIY) kind of travel might be your cup of tea. In my case, I've tried both. There are enumerable pros and cons to each of them and as a traveler, you should know what destinations are best explored via guided tours and which are supposed to be done at your own pace. Unfortunately, there are times when you'll be left with no other option but to do DIY trips. That's the case for our Day 4 in Eastern Samar. As initially planned, there's a hidden paradise we're determined to reach that day. We had a group meeting prior to the trip to maximize our 5-day trip to Eastern Samar and we found out that the must-visit destination for Day 4 isn't included in any usual tours offered by local tour operators in the whole of Samar and Leyte.
