In this video, I answer the question of How many prefectures I have visited, and how I got there. I don`t keep track of numbers, but the question got me thinking. So I scoured the map and my various journals and realized I have only two prefectures to go before I visit all 47! And how I got there? Well:
39 by bicycle
33 by car
30 by train
16 by sailboat
10 by airplane
9 by ferry
3 by helicopter.
I welcome the return of visitors to Japan. While the great cities of Japan have much to offer, I hope that the incoming visitors also discover the remote corners of Japan, which are rich in historical, cultural, geographical, aesthetic, and culinary treasures. It’s great to see that many of those communities are experiencing a renaissance as people of all ages are being lured by local authorities to move and set up businesses. I’ve seen firsthand their entrepreneurial spirit and how they offer a warm welcome to visitors! #travel #japan #entrepreneur
oh, and the two I have not yet visited are Shimane and Okinawa
