Come with Nanshun as she takes you to the rural countryside of Okayama and on an adventure around the ancient story of Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto and the demon, Ura.
This video is the first part of a three part series. In this video, Nanshun starts her climb up Demon Mountain to see the infamous Demon Castle, the alleged home of the demon, Ura.

A WORD OF CAUTION TO TRAVELERS: Let’s Go To Okayama safely for everyone! Nanshun does ask you to be extremely cautious when traveling around. Please wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, keep your distance from the local population when you can, and follow all of the local area’s additional rules for combating the spread of the novel coronavirus. It also may be necessary to enjoy take out in the comfort of your hotel room rather than eating out. Many establishments do offer take out options. Also, it may be wise not to allow room service into your hotel room during your stay. Hotels do understand, and will accommodate.
