Matsushiro Castle
Of all the cities I visited in Japan, I’d have to say that Matsushiro (Nagano) was my favorite. The charming city gave me glimpses into what life may have looked like in the past. Centuries ago even thanks to what’s left of Matsushiro Castle.

Naminoue Beach
Naha’s Naminoue Beach is empty of that stereotypical beach scene that most people crave. In a way, it’s a good thing because you can just enjoy this relatively small beach for what it is. Just don’t bother to sport a cute bikini, let alone a swimsuit here because despite Okinawa being more laid back than the rest of Japan, Okinawa is still in Asia and bikini clad women are still not a norm here.

Naha’s Yogi Park
I visited Yogi Park when they were holding a festival and all I can say is that I am clueless as to why it was called a festival.
Hardly anyone was there. There weren’t really any vendors. I didn’t see a stage nor did I see anyone performing anything. It was weird.

Sendai: A Breath of Fresh Air
Sendai was a breath of fresh air for me, both figuratively and literally. I adored Sendai. Just when I got fed up with Japan, Sendai came to the rescue. And unfortunately for Japan, Sendai was probably the only place I liked in all of mainland Japan, save for Matsushiro, which is a place I won’t talk about today since today is all about Sendai.
