Yes, for those who read my previous Okayama post you already know that it's the place where denim and washi tape were born. Now for the last part of Okayama (on the third day of our trip), we spent a whole day around Hiruzen and Yubara Onsen both located at Maniwa…

Manabeshima in Okayama prefecture, famed for being one of Japan's Cat Islands, is also home to incredible sceneries and local island life.

The last stop of our ten-day road trip around Japan was the town of Okayama- which was our base for exploring the island of Naoshima. Naoshima was a lucky discovery because of Yayoi Kusama’s iconic pumpkin and Okayama was a lucky discovery because of Naoshima, as the closest town that offered moderately priced accommodation.

💛The Ginkgo tree, known for its symbolism of longevity, is a fascinating survivor! With its deep roots, some Ginkgo trees miraculously survived the atomic bomb blast in Hiroshima in 1945 and are still growing even today🥹 📸These photos were taken at Fukuda Shrine in Okayama. Upon entering here, you will welcomed by the large 650-year-old ginkgo trees. Doesn't it look amazing? ☺️ 📍Fukuda Shrine, Maniwa, Okayama Prefecture 📆Nov 11, 2022 岡山県で1番好きな銀杏スポットです💛 今年も行けたら良いなぁ！ #japan #japantravel…
