🌿Hidden Rural Japan | Akita Trip: Ramen, Nature & Anime 🍜🎬 🇯🇵
Hey everyone, welcome back 🙂
I’m spending some time in Akita these days. It’s such a beautiful prefecture up in northern Japan. I’m taking you along with me! First stop, ramen!!
This shop is really popular. I’ve been waiting about 15 minutes.
But finally…it’s my turn. Here it is!
Shoyu ramen with a niboshi broth. Smell alone is amazing. The broth is rich, but not too salty.
Just how I love them 🙂 You can really feel the care they put into every single bowl. Next stopーa waterfall.
It’s about a 40-minute drive from Akita Station. This place is called Fushino Waterfall.
A real hidden gem. The sunlight filtering through the trees.
Cool, fresh air. This is my favorite part of hiking. I can hear the sound of the falls. Alright, I’m almost there. Kids were playing in the river nearby. Wow…a magnificent work of aquatic art. The water stretches and bows as it flows over the rocks. The mist feels so refreshing—like it washes all the tiredness away. Later that day, movie time. Look at this Akita dog on giant screen! It’s supposed to be in 3D…
But honestly, I couldn’t really tell… Still, I was excited 🙂 Do you guys watch the latest Demon Slayer movie? Time for the moment I’ve been waiting for. For some reason, my favorite is Inosuke.
Not sure why, but I just like him 🙂 Alright, let’s watch this! Thanks for being with me today!
Your likes and comments always make my day 🙂 Whoa, this little guy is going to fall! And suddenly, a Namahage appeared.
They’re demon-like figures from Akita folklore.
Welcome to Akita, a beautiful prefecture in the north of Japan that I’m lucky to call one of my homes. Join me for a perfect, relaxing day exploring some of my favorite local spots. This is the first of my three-part Akita series, so I hope you’ll follow along!
This is what a real day in rural Japan can look like—a mix of deep nature, delicious food, and modern pop culture.
