1. I'm going to visit Japan. I like to see natural scenery, so I want to enjoy that in Japan.

2. I'm going to visit Japan. I like to see scenes of nature, so I want to enjoy them in Japan.

3. I'm going to visit Japan. I like to see the sights of nature, so I want to enjoy those in Japan.

Which one is gramatically wrong or unnatural?
Thank you in advance!

Grammatically, they all look correct. Though I would prefer to use #3. #1 is okay. #2 doesn't seen quite right because scenes of nature could be photographs or paintings, not necessarily the real nature.
