Kansai

The Kansai region of Japan is like my second home. My mother's from Osaka and my childhood summers were spent visiting my grandparents and friends in this region. Each time I return, the sights and smells bring me back. In general, the energy of Kansai is a bit more relaxed than the Kanto region. There's an ease and sense of humor with locals. Whether you're interested in mountains and hot springs or the city and street food, Kansai has an array of options.
