The calming landscapes of Japan's quieter Honshu prefectures
Ishikawa and Fukui prefectures offer tranquil, deeply traditional experiences through historic hot-spring inns, local artisans, handcrafted lacquerware, regional cuisine and forested rural landscapes.
These are the things I miss most about living in Japan.
Living in Japan offered immersion in onsens, cherry blossom festivals, ryokan stays, cultural sites, travel, and memorable family experiences including childbirth and community connections.
