Deep Himeji Stories; Karmen & Isacc from NY Discover Castle and Traditional Crafts

This lovely couple are true Japan enthusiasts—Karmen enjoys reading Keigo Higashino’s novels in Japanese, while Isaac practices karate and studies the language with passion 🇯🇵📚🥋

Their day began at the Semba Goborakuichi Market, held three times a year, where they mingled with friendly locals and soaked in the community atmosphere 😊
Next stop: the iconic Himeji Castle, where they had the rare chance to see the Hishi-no-Mon Gate during its special opening 🏯✨
The highlight of the day was visiting Harada Komeido, a traditional craft workshop. Guided by skilled artisans, they tried their hand at gold leaf application and created their very own sparkling souvenir 🎁✨

A day filled with authentic craftsmanship, heartfelt hospitality from the Harada family, and memories to last a lifetime 💖
