Japan was country 38 (first visited in 2018)????
We started our trip in the Keihanshin region, which is Japan's second largest metropolitan area after Tokyo, made up of the cities Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, and other smaller ones. After eight days around this region, we hopped on the Shinkansen bullet train twice, first to Hiroshima and then to Fukuoka. From there, we took a boat to Busan, South Korea (we were SO excited about this ferry ride between Japan and Korea!) before catching a train to Seoul and flying home from there!

WHY NARA SHOULD BE ON YOUR JAPAN BUCKETLIST | Cute Deer, Amazing Temples + Traditional Japanese Food
If you are going to Japan, YOU CAN'T MISS GOING TO NARA. This place is absolutely magical and has the most adorable welcome greeters! Nara was the first official capital of Japan and is filled with incredible history and tradition. This is also a great place to learn about Japanese culture and food. I would highly recommend trying the local mochi, soba, tempura and of course sushi that is wrapped in persimmon leaf. Hope you enjoy this guide to the city and put it on your Japan itinerary!

The travel health insurance I use - PassportCard Nomads:
*I highly recommend this travel health insurance because you don't have to pay out of pocket for your medical expenses and they have very reasonably priced long term plans. You can buy the packages for shorter trips as well, but they're especially fantastic for digital nomads and nomads who want regular health insurance when they are abroad. I am an affiliate of this company, but of course use the plans myself.

- ABOUT US -
Hi! We are Pooja & Shravan, an illustrator-engineer duo from Bangalore brought together by the love of travel and adventure.
We have traveled together since the winter of 2016. On one such trip, we started documenting these travels on a humble phone camera. We soon realised that we really enjoy capturing these experiences. We are entirely self taught (students of the internet) and have learnt from binging on brilliant creators over the years.
In our videos you might find glimpses of places that are not spoken about enough. We always vouch for spots that are somewhat the underdogs. Our vlogs are sometimes vlog-ish and sometimes a documentation of the place as we see it. We hope that watching these videos will bring a little dose of joy to your day.
We love reading your comments and hearing your thoughts.
They motivate us and help us steer our creative path.
With love,
Pooja & Shravan
