[Japan] Matsuyama (Shikoku) - Okayama: very old Dogo Onsen & Momotaro
Two videos in one, or maybe even three... First seconds are still from Hiroshima, then from my daytrip to Matsuyama on Shikoku island where I visited the castle there (where I saw cherry blossom on the 1st of December) and went to the famous Dogo onsen, one of the oldest hot spring in Japan which inspired Hayao Miyazaki for 'Spirited Away'...
After the screen goes black, we move on to Okayama which I really liked, and to its famous Korakuen, one of the three most beautiful Japanese gardens in the country. And also, a statue of Momotarō, a boy from a Japanese legend which Okayama is famous for.

The Peach Boy Story - Momotaro (Do YOU know the story?)
The Peach Boy Story, otherwise known as Momotaro is Japan's most famous folktale. Here in his birthplace, Okayama Prefecture, he is even more famous!
Momotaro makes a great model for children because of his compassion, strength, and dedication.

Honmura Port town of Naoshima has the largest concentration of Art Houses and installations and even just strolling the streets is so fascinating, I loved the big flags at entrances flowing in the wind and how everyone is part of this huge Art project.
