Our host Julian begins his journey to experience the wilderness and wonder of Japans breathtaking Tohoku region. In this episode, we hop onto a bullet train to leave the hustle of Tokyo for the tranquil lakes of Bandai in Fukushima Prefecture, where the landscape was forged by volcanic eruptions long ago. From there, we take a boat across the lake to reach our campsitecelebrating with BBQ and sake. Finally, we check out the seaside town of Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture to find a world of temples, oysters, and onsens.
