I believe all the wanderers of the world should travel not only to immerse the cities' grandeur but to feel the force of history and civilization as this is the factor that gifts value to our many wonders.

From the Arabic calligraphy pasted on the walls of the Hagia Sophia, to the glimmering white marbles of the Taj Mahal, I present to you a glimpse of the overlooked arts in our world:

1. Osoko, Japan

Cultural Sites:

-Himeji Castle- a tangible symbol of Japan's wealth and power while surrounded by several labyrinths leading many tourists to dead ends
