Come along as we travel to the monumental Tojinbo Cliffs of Sakai (Fukui) and delve into the fascinating legends surrounding the uninhabited island of Oshima!
On the journey, we also try a unique flavor of ice cream ― squid ink! ― and finally get to visit the pretty instagrammable Brilliant Heart Museum to snap a few shots 📸
From there, we then head over to the old-timey port town of Mikuni-Minato, where we spend the night at Tsumesyo Mikuni, a century-old traditional Japanese townhouse now turned into an elegant guesthouse.
