Episode synopsis
Henry lands in the Tohoku region where he visits the historical Chusonji Temple and it's Konjikido, which literally means Golden Hall, one of the most magnificent twelfth century structures that is still well-preserved. He travels from Morioka to Sendai and learns about the art of making kokeshi dolls at the Kokeshi Doll Museum. Since Tohoku is well-known for its countrysides, mountains, and lakes, he travels to Tashiro Island and Iimoro Mountain for their picturesque scenery. As an avid foodie, he also experiences a traditional way of eating soba noodles by using green onions in place of chopsticks at a local village. He finally ends his experience in Tohoku with a stay at Ouichi Inn.
