Throughout this journey, one of the biggest take away is, there are much more to discover from one city to another city, and from one township to another township. Every destination has its own beauty in different seasons. The only way to embrace the beauty of Japan is to travel into the heart of this country and not merely to popular tourist destinations, but also make multiple visits so you are able to take home remarkable memories.
