Wakayama, Japan: Places to Visit + My Journey Back to Where My Family Is From 🇯🇵 🤍

Wakayama, Japan: Places to Visit + My Journey Back to Where My Family Is From 🇯🇵 🤍

I traveled from Osaka to Wakayama, Japan, not just to explore a new region, but to reconnect with where my family is from. In this video, I visit a traditional washi paper studio deep in the countryside, explore Wakayama City, visit a historic temple for a goshuin stamp, and end the trip at Wakayama Castle. Whether you’re planning a trip to Japan or are curious about my personal journey, I hope this video helps you see Wakayama in a new light.

– Hidden spots you can visit in Wakayama
– A special father-daughter trip
– How I’m reconnecting with my Japanese roots
