Once again we delve into the lesser explored side of a new country and this time we're in JAPAAAAAAAN. This was my first time visiting Japan. It wasn't as Japanese as I thought it was going to be. Does that make sense. Anyway. What was I talking about? Ah yes. Japan. Heres an AI written description that is supposed to be good for SEO or something. It's got Japan written into it like 200 time. Japan Japan Japan. We get it! 

I left Tokyo with nothing but a backpack and a cardboard sign, hitchhiking along Japan's lesser-known Pacific coastline in search of the real Japan that social media never shows you. From the hidden tea plantations of Makinohara — where unemployed samurai became farmers after Japan's Meiji Revolution — to the beaches, backroads, and local izakayas that tourists never reach, this is rural Japan completely off the beaten path. But the biggest surprise? Deep in the Japanese city of Hamamatsu lies a community of 25,000 Brazilians — one of the largest outside of Brazil itself — who came to work Japan's factories and never left. This is Japan like you've never seen it: raw, unexpected, and completely unfiltered. If you're interested in Japan travel, Japanese culture, hidden Japan, rural Japan, Japan off the beaten path, hitchhiking Japan, or simply the side of Japan that doesn't exist on Instagram — this video is for you. Part 1 of my Japan hitchhiking series.

enjoy, mike x
