2 Days in OKAYAMA & KURASHIKI 🍑 Discover Japan’s Beautiful Canal Town, Japanese Garden, Crow Castle

🍵 [Please turn on the caption in the video setting to enjoy the vlog!]

🏯 We spent 2 days discovering OKAYAMA and KURASHIKI.
Okayama (岡山) is the birthplace of the Japanese fairy tale Momotaro (桃太郎). The city is home to iconic landmarks such as Okayama Castle (岡山城), also known as Crow Castle for its striking black exterior, and Kōraku-en (後楽園), one of Japan’s Three Great Gardens.
Only about 20 minutes by train from Okayama Station, Kurashiki (倉敷) is a charming canal town renowned for its beautifully preserved Bikan Historical Quarter (美観地区) and the nostalgic Ivy Square.

  6. I already visited many places in Japan, but one thing I really wanna do (which I know is impossible 😅) is go to tokyo, buy a car, and drive the car at night while playing Tokyo drift lol.

  7. Thank you for this wonderful experience. Your videos showcase such intimate storytelling in your compositions, mood and music.

    Although, I've never been to these places, it strangely feels nostalgic.

    I hope to one day visit Okayama, Kurashiki and all the other places you have been to.

  8. Youtube algorithm recommended your vlog, and I was so happy that I got to click it..
    I love your point of view so much. It feels like I'm watching a film 🎞 So beautiful and inspiring ✨
    Thanks for sharing the amazing work! I'm also going to visit the places you introduced in this video.

  9. I enjoyed going back to Kurashiki watching your video!
    What kind of bag are you wearing? It looks like the perfect size to sightseeing.
