A sign for a shop selling grilled pork, adorned with an image of a pig with an angry expression and furrowed eyebrows. Do pigs have eyebrows? We don’t think so, but this one does.
If we’re being honest, we’d be a little surly too if we were advertising a shop selling our own kind in edible form. #pacset #japan #japantravel #travelamongfriends

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
A soba teacher rolling out soba dough using a menbo (a long pole for rolling soba)
Fresh made soba noodles on a wooden board
A statue of a girl holding a smiling goldfish on top of a building
Maeda-sensei cutting Soba as we (the students) look on
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! 🛥️

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 :)

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
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

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

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

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

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
