Visited "Aiueo" in Nagoya, a spot loved by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama! They’re famous for giant "Deka-mori" dishes, like the legendary 1.8kg "Byoki Rice" (Illness Rice)! 🐉💥 Calling all Saiyan-level appetites—who’s ready to challenge this? 🍚🔥

Pit stop in Akashi, Hyogo on the way back from Okayama. Walked through the vibrant Uontana fish market, checked out the port, and grabbed authentic Akashi-yaki—fluffy octopus dumplings dipped in warm dashi broth. Pure seaside perfection. 🐙✨

A 3-hour ferry ride from Nagasaki brought me to Fukue Island in Gotō. Crystal-clear cobalt waters, serene historic churches, and a hot bowl of local Goto Udon for lunch. Pure island-hopping magic in hidden Japan! 🌊🍜⛪️

Uozu in Toyama: a port town framed by the Tateyama Mountains. Once part of the samurai Maeda clan’s Kaga Domain, its Hokokoku Highway still preserves weathered wooden shops. Walking these quiet streets feels like travelling back to Edo-period Japan.

Tomogashima in Wakayama was a key military fortress until 1945, later a booming resort with inns and camps. Now, all lie in ruins. Nature reclaims the brick battery sites on this deserted island—a poetic reminder of the rise and fall of time.

Driving beyond the clouds. 🚗💨

Found this breathtaking wind farm hidden high in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture. Thin fog, winding mountain roads, and massive wind turbines—this is the side of Japan most tourists never get to see.

Beyond Hamamatsu’s tech hubs lies Akiba Shrine, 866m high in the southern Akaishi Mountains. Surrounded by giant trees and shrouded in mountain fog, this sacred home of fire deities & winged Tengu spirits feels like a portal to another world.

Mikazuki Village in Gunma is a delightfully bizarre B-grade theme park built for Kogarashi Monjiro—a fictional 1970s antihero samurai. Forgotten in the woods, it features eerie mannequins, vintage illusion houses & pure retro weirdness. A dream for offbeat explorer!

In Ishioka, Ibaraki, time stands still along the old highway. Discover "Kanban Kenchiku" (billboard architecture)—traditional townhouses disguised with retro Western facades. These vintage 1930s shopfronts radiate pure Japanese nostalgia!
