Discover Japan: Exploring and Enjoying Fukushima Part 1

Discover Japan: Exploring and Enjoying Fukushima. |
Embark on a four-day adventure in Fukushima, Japan, as we uncover some of its most scenic and cultural gems! In this first part of our journey, we explore the historic Ouchi-Juku, a preserved Edo-era post town brimming with charm, and marvel at the architectural wonder of Sazaedo Temple. When the weather takes a turn, we savor the region’s famous Katsudon in Aizuwakamatsu, a must-try local dish. Ending our first day in Yanaizu, we enjoy a cozy stay before starting day two with a delightful waffle breakfast. From there, we set our sights on Mt. Azuma Kofuji—a dormant volcano with breathtaking views—where an unexpected challenge awaits.

Join us as we navigate the beauty, culture, and culinary treasures of Fukushima, with our trusty three dogs by our side. Whether you’re a nature lover, a fan of off-the-beaten-path destinations, or simply searching for authentic Japan travel inspiration, this video is for you!

Love traveling around in your van? Traveling with three large dogs can be a challenge but the memories you make is priceless. Come see how we enjoy all the places in our van, converted to be a mini home on wheels. It allows us to travel cheaply, on budget, and places you could never go by train, bus or rental car.

About Us:
I’m Ryan. I came to Japan in 1996 and knew nothing about this country. Now, after building my own company, having 2 great kids (whom are out of the house now) and built 2 houses here in Japan, I have a few things to say about this wonderful country. Mostly I have always loved looking for places in Japan to explore and enjoy during the weekends. But most channels, in Japan, spend too much time talking about things that are self-explanatory. I wanted to make this channel to give you a sample of places where you can go with your dogs. Talk about the plus sides and negative sides of the place. Pointers and tips when you get there. Then you can go out and enjoy those places as well. Sometimes, I even like to add cooking and baking items to our videos.
Along the ride will be our 3 retriever dogs, Bobbi, Lily, and Lucy. They just love going out, seeing the world and hiking Japan’s beautiful trails. It seems every year, more and more places are catering to dog families. Letting our dogs go on these adventures helps them, as well as us, with building a lifestyle that is rewarding.
Come along with us as we travel around Japan and finding these little gem areas and making friends along the way.

On my channel, I’m gonna bring you along on some adventures that I go through but in my viewpoint as American living in Japan.

Some of the strange customs and some of the strange items I’ve seen, especially the food.

Along with my wife and my three dogs, Bobbi Lily and Lucy, we’re gonna go on adventures that most of you probably have never seen in my 2006 Toyota Alphard.

let’s get on the road
