Miyajima on Day 5: we laughed, we explored, we visited the “floating” Itsukushima Shrine, and we pet some local deer (who did not try to eat our stuff, thankfully). #pacset #japan #japantravel #travelamongfriends #hiroshima #miyajima

Day 4 of Best of Japan brought us west to Hiroshima! After reflecting on the past at the Peace Park, we celebrated the city’s present with some exploring and delicious Okonomiyaki! #pacset #japan #japantravel #travelamongfriends #hiroshima

Before hitting Akihabara on Day 3 of Best of Japan, we got the chance to make our own soba with Maeda-sensei and shop for the finest in cooking goodies in Kappabashi! #pacset #japan #japantravel #travelamongfriends #bestofjapan

Day 2 of Best of Japan saw us visit Harajuku and Shibuya, where we bought cute goodies, nibbled on treats, and explored urban parks. Then it was off to Tokyo Bay on a yakatabune dinner cruise! 🛥️ #pacset #japan #japantravel #travelamongfriends #bestofjapan

Best of Japan kicked off with a rainstorm (!) but the day finished with great views and an amazing dinner, so it was worth braving the weather :) #pacset #japan #japantravel #travelamongfriends #bestofjapan

Venture underground with us on a visit to the Oya Historical Museum! Also: a cave temple, and a hint at what's coming for the last episode of the video blog... youtu.be/vzX80UqOeTk #pacset #pacsettravel #japan #japantravel #blindboxtour #mysterytour #travelamongfriends

On today's episode, we visit a cat-operated train station, explore a castle, and paint our own Akabeko! youtu.be/D8FYWiwqK4o #pacset #pacsettravel #japan #japantravel #blindboxtour #mysterytour #travelamongfriends

The journey takes a surprising turn (north) and finds itself in Aizu Wakamatsu! We hit a historical samurai home, settle in at our onsen, and... befriend a moth? It's complicated, guys. youtu.be/7RMgaqRcjjw #pacset #pacsettravel #japan #japantravel #blindboxtour #mysterytour #travelamongfriends

What can you do in Onomichi? If you're us, you can pay your respects to the cat shrine, take in some awesome island views, sip fizzy lemon drinks, and eat amazing food. Watch us do that: youtu.be/8IOS_d6J84Q #pacset #pacsettravel #japan #japantravel #blindboxtour #mysterytour #travelamongfriends

After crossing the sea, we headed into the mountains to gaze upon a significant number of very pretty flowers. Bonus: rest area discoveries + settling into Onomichi! youtu.be/Ae6E4ACEP4I #pacset #pacsettravel #japan #japantravel #blindboxtour #mysterytour #travelamongfriends

This one has an island full of cats, fancy art installations, and the best damn cocktails in Okayama. Did I mention the cats? Cats, everyone! <3 youtu.be/lOKmtClniXk #pacset #pacsettravel #japan #japantravel #blindboxtour #mysterytour #travelamongfriends #cats #mews #meowmachines #hotdamnitscats

Do you like High Tea and comedians running through oddly-shaped cardboard, or are you more of a "scallops smothered in butter" person? Well then, Day 7 of Omakase is for... all of you. youtu.be/bBeqOW3_nIU #pacset #pacsettravel #japan #japantravel #blindboxtour #mysterytour #travelamongfriends

Day 6 of Omakase took us across lakes and to the tops of castles as we dove into the history of the Omi-Hachiman region. Oh, and there's Anime Whiskey in this one, and that's fun. youtu.be/9ALPdAhZkCg #pacset #pacsettravel #japan #japantravel #blindboxtour #mysterytour #travelamongfriends

Following one heck of a festival visit, Omakase moves to Nagahama, where we make cheese, visit some Angels (not the biblical ones), and befriend an unreasonable number of pigeons. youtu.be/bzyv6QcPwCE #pacset #pacsettravel #japan #japantravel #blindboxtour #mysterytour #travelamongfriends

ICYMI: We got to join a festival in Imizu and it was AMAZING. If you haven't seen the video yet, you totally should. youtu.be/09NiSh0Rw9k #pacset #pacsettravel #japan #japantravel #blindboxtour #mysterytour #travelamongfriends #toyama #imizu #takaoka #japanfestival
