Here you'll find streets lined with traditional buildings, countless temples and shrines, cultural experiences, delicious food, and beautiful nature. And over 3 days we explored the city’s most iconic sites, had fun and unique experiences, and enjoyed lots of delicious local food! 📅 This video was filmed in late October 2025 🎟️ Book a ramen making class: https://links.adventuresofaplusk.com/...
