Just because my last post was limited to 10 photos, let me share with you a bit more about @nakadakiartvillage.🌳 . It’s located in the small town Isumi, Chiba Prefecture (state), only 2h south of Tokyo by train. 🚂. . Mainly farmers live here and it’s a place where people can escape the busy city life and just relax in nature.🍃 . It has around 15 accommodations - tents and wood houses which are easily be reached by hiking paths and all look different from each other.🏠 . It’s surrounded by big rice fields and only a 15 min drive away from the beach. 🏖 . You have the opportunity for different physical activities such as tennis, badminton, table tennis, billiard and much more. 🎾 . Would you like to relax here a few days or is it too remote for you?🙃 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #traveldiary #goodvibesalways #travelgirl #travelinspiration #aroundtheglobe #travelogue #livetotravel #discovertheworld #travellover #traveladdiction #sixmilesaway #expatblogger #travellove #takemeanywhere #lifeiskind #happygirl #liveonyourterms #volunteer #japan #isumi #forestvillage #workaway #volunteering #volunteers #japanesevillage

⛩SHRINE vs TEMPLE⛩ . When in Japan you will certainly visit loads of shrines and temples, but what is actually the difference?🤔 . SHRINES: . 1️⃣Just exist in Japan. . 2️⃣ Religion practiced is Shintoism. . 3️⃣ Believe in multiple Gods. . 4️⃣ Often have a red gate as an entrance. . 5️⃣ You will find priests and maidens there. . TEMPLES: . 1️⃣ Exist throughout Asia. . 2️⃣ Religion practiced is Buddhism. . 3️⃣ Believe in one figure - Buddha. . 4️⃣ Usually has many buddha statues. . 5️⃣ You will find monks there. . There are a few more differences, but those are the most important one. Did you know any of this?🙃 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #traveldiary #goodvibesalways #travelgirl #travelinspiration #aroundtheglobe #travelogue #livetotravel #discovertheworld #travellover #traveladdiction #sixmilesaway #expatblogger #travellove #takemeanywhere #lifeiskind #happygirl #liveonyourterms #hieshrine #tokyo #japan #temple #shrine

🌳VOLUNTEER WORK🌳 . In order to keep traveling long term and not spend too much money, we are doing volunteer work in most of the countries! 💼 . We find these opportunities via the platform @workawayinfo where you can sign up for a small fee, either as a single person or a couple! 🌐 . Our first volunteer work we did in Japan in a forest village called @nakadakiartvillage !🌲 . Our main task was housekeeping, meaning to clean the house, make beds and prepare the BBQ grill! 🍖 . I learned how to fold Japanese futon mattresses the right way, as well as blankets! 🛏 . I also learned how to make Japanese dishes like Okonomiyaki!🥚 . I learned new things about Japanese culture as we worked with together with locals who I can ask anything. 🇯🇵 . I met new people from around the world and made great friendships in a short time! 👭 . Have you ever done volunteer work? 😊 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #traveldiary #goodvibesalways #travelgirl #travelinspiration #aroundtheglobe #travelogue #livetotravel #discovertheworld #travellover #traveladdiction #sixmilesaway #expatblogger #travellove #takemeanywhere #lifeiskind #happygirl #liveonyourterms #japan #nakadakiartvillage #volunteerwork #volunteer #volunteers #travellingterm #workopportunities

🍶SAKE🍶 . Here I am standing in front of hundreds of Sake barrels - a very popular drink in Japan.🛢 . Sake is a rice wine with around 15-20% of alcohol and they usually serve it before a meal as an aperitif or after you had a big meal for easy digestion.🍽 . Do you like Sake?🙃 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #traveldiary #goodvibesalways #travelgirl #travelinspiration #aroundtheglobe #travelogue #livetotravel #discovertheworld #travellover #traveladdiction #sixmilesaway #expatblogger #travellove #takemeanywhere #lifeiskind #happygirl #liveonyourterms #sake #japan #barrels #drinksake #japanesedrink
