Travel is a time to reconnect with myself.
- The laws of happiness learned from traveling to small Japanese cities!

A travel essay titled “How to Make Your Trip to Small Japanese Cities Happiest” has been published, documenting the spiritual healing that comes from exploring Japan’s hidden cities and nature.
This book is not just a travel guide, but a story about the power of travel to rebuild one's life.
In an unfamiliar space filled with the scents of the sea, mountains, hot springs, gourmet food, and forests, the author says, “As you walk and wander, at some point you realize.
“The fact that complete happiness already exists within me!” he says.

In this book, the author introduces four regions of Japan: Chubu, Shikoku, San'in, and Tohoku.

In the central region, you can regain the sense of "real travel" by visiting Toyama, Kanazawa, Nagoya, and Nagano.
In the midst of nature, with its magnificent forests, clear air, dazzling snow-capped mountains, seas, and rivers, we realize that humans are smaller than nature, and that nature always heals us.

The aesthetics of slowness unfold in the Sanin region.
Although Japan's smallest prefecture, the peaceful and leisurely Yonago, the Adachi Museum of Art's "living picture frame garden," the golden beauty of the Tottori Sand Dunes, and the gentle waves of the Horikawa River around Matsue Castle make readers think about the essence of a quiet journey.
The moment you immerse yourself in the beautiful nature and hot springs, the tired emotions from everyday life slowly flow away.
The author says, “Beautiful and peaceful nature is God’s art gallery.
He says, “Just by existing, you are healed.”

The beauty of the sea and mountains, magnificent forests, clear, clean air, and hot springs are deeply moving and provide abundant energy to recharge tired bodies and minds.
Perhaps that is why more and more people are falling for Nagoya's charm.
You can often meet people who answer “Nagoya” when asked, “Where is your favorite place?”
The airport is overflowing with young travelers enjoying independent travel.
The time has finally come for the Blue Dragon to be revealed to the world.
The future of Nagoya, where the Blue Dragon ascends, will become brighter and brighter.

Stagnant water rots.
What is stagnant is bound to break down.
So we move.
Walk and walk on two legs.
Sometimes we travel by bus, plane, or boat.
It doesn't stop for a moment, but flows and empties itself out, thinking.
As you walk and wander like that, you suddenly realize something.
That complete happiness already exists within me.

When you travel, you live in the present moment.
Because you exist in an unfamiliar place for a limited period of time, and you come face to face with yourself feeling and being happy in this moment.
Again, warm your heart.
And with that heart, let's live each day with excitement.

We travel to discover the wonderful culture and food of a country, but what makes us happiest is experiencing that country's unique natural environment.
The exotic environments, nature, culture, and food you experience while traveling are in fact not unrelated to the natural environment of that country.
Perhaps we are heading to foreign countries to find new gifts from nature.

The courage to follow your inner self and the power to take action.
It is an essential element for living in this era.
This Earth is an 'acting planet'.
Every time I come across a place where such geniuses gather.
Travel becomes even happier when you discover the traces of their souls, their expressions of life and spiritual world.
Because the very reason they came this far is proof that they passionately loved themselves and their destiny.

That's the great pleasure of traveling to a small town.
Let's go on a trip to a small town with your inner cheerleader right now!

Travel is undoubtedly a magic potion that leads our lives in a better direction.
An innocent heart filled with pure curiosity keeps us alive and young.
Could it be that the elixir of life that Qin Shi Huang had been searching for so desperately was a journey he embarked on with such a reckless mind?
