Actress Amruta Khanvilkar described her trip to Japan as “a soul-stirring experience” and said that every meal she ate “was a memory.”
Her adventure began in the bustling streets of Tokyo, where she immersed herself in the local cuisine, trying various traditional Japanese dishes.
“My trip to Japan was a soul-stirring experience—rich in culture, taste, and emotion. From the discipline and cleanliness in every corner to the deep-rooted traditions, Japan truly felt like another world,” Amruta told.
The top Marathi film star added: “Every meal was a memory—fluffy pancakes, earthy matcha, art-like desserts that never left you feeling heavy. Dressing in a kimono by the gentle hands of an elderly lady, sipping tea in Kyoto, exploring centuries-old temples—it all felt like stepping into a dream.”
Amruta shared that visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Sites was a deeply moving experience, with each place leaving a lasting impression on her heart. She highlights the beauty and serenity of landmarks like Kinkaku-ji and the floating Torii gate of Itsukushima.
“The UNESCO World Heritage Sites were each a story of their own—majestic, peaceful, and profoundly grounding. Whether it was the golden glow of Kinkaku-ji or the floating Torii gate of Itsukushima, every place left a mark on my heart,” said the actress.
