Just finished an incredible cruise around Japan visiting sites most people don't get to see. I really recommend getting out of Tokyo and visiting the more remote communities in the south, as there are astonishing hidden gems. The trip took in Honshu, Kyushu, Yakushima, and Shikoku. Just a tranquil, Incredible time with some amazing vibes.
