  • We spent 3 days travelling around Tohoku in Northern Japan to ask Chris Broad, Natsuki and Sharla their favourite and MUST SEE spots around the area. This time we saw Yamagata (Yamagata Prefecture), Sendai (Miyagi Prefecture) and Morioka (Iwate Prefecture)!
    We also want to introduce you guys to the JAPAN RAIL CAFE, which is conveniently located at Tokyo Station outside the Yaesu Central Gate. It’s a fantastic hub for travellers to meet new people and find out useful information about your upcoming trips! It’s also the perfect location to relax in a pretty Japanese tatami room, access free wifi and grab a drink or something to eat before your trip. You can even exchange or purchase a JR RAIL PASS inside the cafe at the Travel Information Counter, so it’s super handy! Next time you’re at Tokyo Station, why not drop by?

      I’ve been around the tohoku area, but I think Akita isn’t as featured as much as their counterparts. I’m guilty since I’ve never really been there except a ski resort.

    Can't wait for the day Natsuki learns more English with a little bit more confidence in front of the camera
