Nagu-Nagu Tourist's Travels - INDEX -

A casual journey in search of superb views and unexplored regions. I have organized the places I visited, the sake I drank, and the food I ate by region.
Packed with hidden gems quietly tucked away in the corners of travel magazines and destinations for those who like a curveball. For you who have already been through the famous tourist spots. For you who love walking trips and hiking. How about these travel destinations?

Also, if you have any recommended places, please let me know in the comments section!
