From the bustling back alleys of Osaka to feeding the gentle deer of Nara Park, I followed more than a map—I followed my Ikigai. Join me as I share: The serene experience of feeding the sacred deer in Nara, and the unexpected wisdom found in their calm presence A fascinating visit to the Samurai & Ninja Museum, where I learned how these ancient warriors lived with honor, discipline, and purpose The cultural rituals behind every meal—and why respect is always the first ingredient How ancient values like Omotenashi (hospitality) This isn't just a travel story. It's a pilgrimage through tradition, connection, and timeless wisdom. Whether you're planning your own trip to Japan, craving a deeper cultural connection, or simply seeking stories that stir the soul—this episode is for you.
