I bet you've never heard of Mine. I bet you just read that as the English word "mine". It's a place in Japan 🇯🇵 but it's nothing like Tokyo🗼 or Kyoto ⛩️ This is rural Japan. And don't worry, I'll show you how to pronounce it properly in the video. Join me for 3 days in Mine, Japan, trying local eateries 🍜 exploring the unique landscapes of Akiyoshidai and the terrifying depths of Akiyoshido Cave 🪖 tasting the emerald blue waters of Beppu Benten Pond💧staying at some beautiful Japanese-style accommodation 🏠 and so much more!
