Finding Ghibli's "Mononoke" Forest in Fukuoka | Japan Road Trip

Описание: Escape the hustle of Fukuoka City with us as we drive our yellow Suzuki Hustler into the serene countryside. In this journey, we discover the ethereal beauty of Kyudai no Mori, a hidden water forest that feels like a scene straight out of Princess Mononoke. We also slow down for a heartwarming, grandma-style farm lunch in Sasaguri and explore the rich traditions of Japanese craftsmanship.
[Featured: Kubara Honke Flagship Store] Our final stop takes us to the historic Kubara Honke, a legendary name in Japanese seasoning since 1893. Stepping into their flagship store is like traveling back in time. Housed in a magnificent traditional building with a massive thatched roof, Kubara represents the soul of "Dashi" (Japanese broth) and soy sauce culture. Beyond the premium flavors, the architecture itself is a testament to the enduring beauty of Japanese craftsmanship.
