Japan: Red Rock – The MUST-VISIT Place f
This was one of my must-go places, however, we didn’t manage to visit them on our previous trip because we were still in the midst of figuring out how to use the Japanese train system. Now that we are more experienced, coupled with the fact that this is just located TWO train stations away from where our […]
