Japan’s Best-Kept Secret - What's really going on here? 🇯🇵

Описание: Most people think they know Japan — but hidden deep in the mountains of Shikoku Island lies a version of Japan almost no one ever sees.
A place that feels lost in time… where mist covers vine bridges, tiny villages cling to cliffs, and silence tells stories of the past.
This is the Japan you didn’t know existed.
We set out with almost no plan — and what we found was beautiful, strange, and at times, genuinely eerie.
Join us as we explore the mysterious Iya Valley, one of Japan’s most isolated regions — and uncover a side of Japan travel that feels worlds away from Tokyo or Kyoto.
🇯🇵 Hidden Japan. Off the beaten path. Untouched.
If you love cinematic travel, undiscovered places, and real adventure, this is for you.
