Visiting the ABANDONED JAPANESE TOWN where Kobe Beef Started 

Visiting the abandoned Japanese town where Kobe beef started. We take a break from our camper van bus conversion and head to the north of my home prefecture, Hyogo, to visit an abandoned Japanese village that has an interesting and unique history.
Hyogo prefecture is one of Japan’s bigger prefectures and outside of Himeji (known for it’s beautiful white Japanese castle) and Kobe (known for it’s world-class wagyu beef), there is actually a lot to see and do, especially if you like the outdoors.

WHO AM I?
After spending 9 years travelling the world, I came back to my home country of Japan and converted an old delivery van into my dream custom campervan with my Scottish girlfriend Ruth. Follow along on our van life in Japan road trip as we travel to all 47 Japanese prefectures and visit places off the beaten path in Japan.
