In this Japan summer vlog, I take a peaceful trip to the rural town of Karatsu in Saga, Kyushu — a hidden gem filled with nature and unforgettable views, and a perfect escape from the busy city life.
I explore the mysterious Environmental Art Forest, where the view from inside looks just like a painting of the outside world. I also visit the scenic Karatsu Castle and enjoy a fresh seafood rice bowl at Marine Center Fish Village. From the stunning views at Kagamiyama Park to the romantic Hamanoura Rice Terraces, also known as a “Lovers’ Sanctuary,” this trip is all about reconnecting with nature and soaking in Japan’s summer charm.
