I love talking about underrated places in Japan, and got to do just that in this episode. Sometimes people talk about so-called “hidden gems” or “secret places” for travel. Do those even exist? Everybody’s got access to all the information in the world nowadays. But I think good judgment matters… and I’d like to think we’ve got that here at Japan Travel Pros. So we give a few tips on underrated places (region / city / town), foods and experiences.
