Join me on a 3 day journey through Okayama Prefecture, one of Japan's most incredible yet under-the-radar regions. In this travel vlog, we taste the local favorite Demi-Katsudon and explore the gorgeous Koraku-en Garden in Okayama City. We will step back in time to the Edo period at the tranquil Bikan Historical Quarter in Kurashiki, complete with a traditional canal boat tour and a visit to the hilltop Achi Shrine. Finally, we take a ferry ride from Uno Port to the art island of Naoshima to see the iconic Yayoi Kusama pumpkins and the world famous art museums. Whether you are looking for a scenic escape or a deep dive into Japanese culture, Okayama and the surrounding areas should not be missed!
