#### Local Tour with a Twist: Osakan Adventure with Yoshihiro Akiyama

In the continuation of the Local Experts Tour, Osaka resident Yoshihiro Akiyama guided Joo Woo-jae through lesser-known areas of Osaka Prefecture. Their first stop was a cozy retro apartment once home to a Korean student.

Next, they explored an innovative ‘hotel within a market’ in Higashiōsaka City, showcasing Japan’s urban renewal ideas. The stunning centerpiece was a repurposed bathhouse in Suminoe Ward.

Further exploration led to a family rice farm in Hyogo Prefecture, where Yoshihiro and Joo enjoyed an authentic Japanese meal.

Finally, they visited an ‘abandoned inheritance house’ which showcases potential with its low asking price.

Catch more of these adventures on the 300th episode of Save Me! Holmes, airing next Thursday at 10 PM!
