Ultimate Japan

This week travel writer Rebecca Hallett helps us dream up our perfect trip to Japan. Join us as we explore the lesser visited places across the archipelago and encounter a fire festival that feels like a fever dream, an 80 temple pilgrimage tracing the coastline and the bear mascot/happiness manager who has become a Japanese obsession. The fossilised tree museum mentioned is Sanbe Azukihara Buried Forest Museum. Get your copy of Ultimate Japan: Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
