A Timeless Japanese Garden in Summer 🇯🇵 | Hidden Japan Walk | Urakuen, Inuyama

Hello 😊
This is Journey Walker!

Today, I’m taking you on another walking journey through the beautiful landscapes and towns of Japan.

In this video, we continue exploring Inuyama City in Aichi Prefecture.

In the second part of our journey, we take a slow walk through Urakuen, a beautiful Japanese garden in Inuyama.
We explore the peaceful garden and traditional teahouses, including Jo-an, a National Treasure.

After leaving Urakuen, we head toward the Kiso River and walk along the riverside, with views of Inuyama Castle in the distance.
And on this particular day, we were lucky enough to see Ukai, the traditional cormorant fishing taking place on the Kiso River.

Take your time and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, scenery, and sounds of summer in Inuyama.
