CNN asked me to explore a beautiful, rural region of Japan and I couldn’t have ran faster to the airplane. Japan has been on my bucket list forever and a week of exploring the country’s Northern region of Tohoku was even more life-changing than I could have expected.
We focused on local life and culture, taking in a cherry blossom festival in Aomori, competitively eating Soba noodles at Wanco-Soba, and the samurai houses of “Kakunodate.” I hope you get a glimpse into this ancient treasureland of Tohoku and see why it is such a special place in our world.
