Japan Off The Beaten Path: Autumn In Akita Prefecture | Japan Travel Guide
Japan Off The Beaten Path is a new series on my channel, where I show you more of the unknown areas/prefectures in Japan and encourage you to travel and visit areas other than the common places such as Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.
In this first episode, we visit and explore around Akita Prefecture in the Tohoku region of northern Honshu, the main island of Japan.
I came here during Autumn(end of October), which is the perfect time to come to see the autumn foliage!

Check out more of Akita here:
As for transportation, it takes 4 hours to get from Tokyo station to Akita station via the Akita Komachi Bullet Train.
It costs around ¥17,000($160 USD) however if you have the JR pass you just have to pay the small fee of the reserved seat on the Shinkansen(all seats are reserved).
Or if you are going up to Hokkaido or coming back down from Hokkaido, you can change at the Shin-Aomori station and take the local JR train down to Odate station.
Going back to Tokyo from Shin-Aomori station is also possible by taking the Hayabusa bullet train. (Around ¥17,000)
Even though Akita is in Japan, each prefecture is so unique in it's own way - I learned so much from this trip and could see a different side of Japan.. I hope to share this kind of Japan more and more with you through my channel :)
and lastly, a big big big thank you to my friends at Akita Inu Tourism for showing me around Akita!!!! Couldn't have done this video without you!

Most Beautiful and Breathtaking Places - Aomori, Japan
Before visiting Hokkaido, it is good to take a trip to Aomori, which is the northern province of Japan (a departure point to Hokkaido). Aomori is covered with many natural wonders, with lakes and forest. Walking in the Oirase forest in Towada is truly refreshing and rewarding especially to get a look and touch of the Oirase Stream. Visit in the month of April with the cherry blossom festifal is awesome. Places in Aomori qualifies to be the Most Beautiful and Breathtaking Places in Japan.

Japan, Part One - Tokyo
My older brother Jeremy was the one who got me into traveling, and it's been quite some time since we've been able to go explore on our own together. We spent 10 days in Japan, and here's what happened. This is our first stop, Tokyo!

皇居でのメタボ対策 I Got Fat.... Time for the Imperial Palace 5km Run
(eng)
(日本語）
The 5km run around the Imperial Palace in Tokyo is one of the most famous in the world, and goes around the business, political and cultural heart of Japan. Check my blog at the link above for info about the course, how to find lockers and showers to use it, the sites that you can see around it.
日本と世界でも有名な皇居を回る５キロのコースに連れて、見せようと思っていました。シャワー施設や、コースの見所やいろいろを上記のブログへのリンクに是非チェックしてね！
Most of the places in the captions on the vid are not far away on the right hand side, even though they are not always shown or visible. I think this gives an idea of just how close all these places are to each other in Tokyo, and how close they all are located to the imperial palace.
