wow nice video .

Hi.. in Somekobei Yumeyusai is free or there is entrance fee? Thank you

What time did you visit somekobo?i’ll travel to kyoto next nov.and this is my first time to see autumn 🥰

Most people skip the Nakatsugawa-Ochiai entry to the Nakasendo and head straight for Magome. On one trip, I got off the train at Ochiai but got lost heading in totally the wrong direction. Eventually, I found a bus stop that took me back to Nakatsugawa and then on to Magome. But yes, the Ochiai-Magome route is very nice. After I got to Magome, I backtracked on the Ochiai section. Natural springs dot parts of the Nakasendo which people avoid even though this was the water source during the Edo period. The water is incredibly cold and sweet, much safer than a Red Bull. One other thing is that palanquin bearers transported single passengers along the route. They must have been incredibly fit to have done this, not wearing Nikes, but straw sandals. You can get these sandals at a shop in Magome to get an "authentic" Nakasendo trekking experience.

Wow absolutely beautiful footage. How long were you in Kyoto?

amazing.which camera do you use?

Hey amazing video! Do your remember the exact month and day of this? my gf and I are going from the 26th of oct to nov 10 and were wondering if the leaves will be beautiful and red like this???

Hello :) I'm the production team of the Korean travel broadcast program "Map to Go Again". It is a program that conveys the satisfaction of travel to viewers through proxy travelers. As we prepare for this <Japan> episode, we would like to show you various aspects of Kyoto, Japan. I would like to introduce the video you filmed above to the viewers as a data screen on the broadcast. I'd appreciate it if you could give me permission to use your TH-cam videos on the broadcast screen with the source! I would appreciate it if you could think positively. Thank you!.

Somekobo Yumeiusai is a cafe or just a photo spot? And do I need to book a reservation beforehand ?

It's amazing how ypu were able to do a lot in a day! When did you reserve tickets for Somekobo Yumeyusai?

I especially love the music in this one! I’d want to see the Vizcaya museum and gardens the most 😍

what a time <3 thanks for visiting me!!!

I really want to rent bikes when we’re on our trip in October to get around. Did you find it challenging at all?

which place was the most quiet? Like, no or very quiet car sounds and no tv sounds from other rooms?

wow lovely

Loved all the beach views and schnauzer spottings! ♥️

Thank you Laura. Well done!

I did the same route as you guys and little bit more - Nagiso to Nojiri and from Yabuhara to Narai this year. 27 to 30 of march. I can cofnirm, there is planty of cherry trees on the hills but... spring was late this year I saw shit - just naked trees 🥲 probably you could spot blooming in like half of april And imo Narai juku is the best

Congratulations to Mia and Brandon! 🤍

Maui is sooooo cute! I love how they let you guys bring him into the store. And all the parks you went to were so pretty! Looked like the best weather too ☀

Wow! I really enjoyed this! Thank you!

is the boat riding worth the money? I want to try it but don't know how much

so this place isn't exactly a secret 🤭

Im going to swing over to Magome from Kyoto when I'm there in April to check out some of this trail, but this makes me wish I would have went in the fall.

Lovely! I believe Japan is my spiritual home even though I’m British. The peace and tranquillity is heaven. You’re so lucky to have visited, even though I’m 52 one day I will do it.🙏

Even as time passes and the surface of the city changes, nothing remains the same in terms of what lies at the root of Japan's unique culture. The common root of the originality of Japanese culture is the uniqueness of its geopolitical isolated location and the influence of its special natural environment. Even if culture and knowledge are imported from abroad, it is not dominated by them, but rather, after a certain period of time, it is able to select and discard the content, integrate it with its own culture, make repeated improvements to fit its environment, and eventually create its own new style. This is due to the influence of Japan's unique natural environment, which is both rich and harsh, and is very different from the natural environment on the continent. Japan's original country name "NIPPON" means "the country under the sun," but its other name is "YAMATO (WA, DaiWa)," which means "peaceful harmony between people and nature.　In other words, the name of Japan is "the country under the sun," meaning the country of "great harmony between people and nature. The history of Japan is very old, about 2,000 years since the reign of the Emperor, but it was during the "Jomon Pottery" culture about 14,000 years ago that humans began to form villages and communities and live in this island nation. (It was about 30,000 years ago if the Neolithic Age is included.) Surrounded on all sides by the sea and geographically isolated from the Eurasian continent in the Pacific Ocean, this island nation has a warm and humid climate, and because it is a volcanic island, it is blessed with abundant underground clear water resources, diverse vegetation, and fishery resources. For this reason, people have lived here for tens of thousands of years, enjoying the abundant nature and living in peace with nature. However, while the natural environment of this island nation is rich, it is also harsh and has both light and dark sides. Since ancient times, the people of this land have respected human harmony and have lived in peace by working together as a group. They have shared and enjoyed the blessings of nature by pooling their wisdom and collectively overcoming numerous severe and harsh natural disasters, such as frequent volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami, summer typhoons, and heavy snowfall in winter. This is because this island nation has a harsh natural environment that cannot be overcome by a single person. Individual power is too weak to face the onslaught of nature, which can destroy the wealth we have built overnight. Therefore, many people should suppress their egos, dislike confrontation, and work together to create a livable environment and maintain cleanliness, and then work together to prevent disasters before they occur and to restore the environment after they have occurred. This is the most wise, efficient, and rational way to maintain peace and harmony in each other's lives, rather than to create more chaos by insisting on each other's selfishness, which has given rise to Japan's unique teachings, culture, and behavior. The ancient name of Japan, "YAMATO" or "WA" (peaceful harmony between people and nature), represents the wishes and reality of the people who have been trying to survive in the rich and harsh natural environment unique to island countries, which is different from the dry and stable land of the Eurasian continent. And it is in this ancient Japanese country name "WA YAMATO" that the essence of Japanese culture, the origin and secret of its unique culture, which is very different from the cultures of other Asian countries on the continent, is hidden.

I consider this your first vlogmas video ever!! : D

Thank you for sharing. This video is really helpful. I've got a plan to go there this year. First I planned to start walking at Magome-juku, but after watching your video I want to start at Ochiai-juku too. But I have to finish at Nagiso-juku in a day to take a train to the accommodation. I don't know if there're enough time? So may I ask that how much time you took from Tsumago-juku to Nagiso-juku? Thank you

All of the garden shots were soooo pretty! The rain was an extra vibe too. I can't wait to go to Portland next year!

What equipment were you using to film the video? Thanks

Nice! Going tomorrow!

We walked there 2.5 weeks ago. It remains the 'special bit' throughout our entire trip to Japan. Thank you for your video. 😊

I want to go to Omoide Yokocho. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, Laura. Did you have to show the credit card you used to pay for your reservation when visiting the kokedora moss temple?

ohhhh i've gone to wdw but have yet to visit universal studios! will definitely need to stop by there one day. that train was trippy! LOL. thanks for taking us with you on your exploration!

This was great! Thank you!!! Now I'm planning on doing this trail 2024. ❤ btw, which music was playing between 3 to 5 minutes into your video? I love your choice of music!

👍👍

Awesome stuff! The scenery is beautiful, and it's great to see you having such a wonderful time. By the way, I couldn't help but notice that you rented from Giant. Would you recommend their services?

very relaxing vlog :)

I love the views, the music, and your way of gauging if a cafe has good espresso 😂♥️ P.S. I’m also sad that you didn’t go to Tillamook. I love that tour

hello~Laura! really well .

Wow! The autumn color is beautiful.

😮❤ thanks a lot for this video!! I am going in japan in fall. In kyoto in november thanks for recommandations . I have already book saihoji Moss temple. Can’t wait.

what camera did you use?

Hi! I've only just found you videos when looking for the Hozugawa boat ride. I'm going this November, and was so excited to go to Kiyomizu dera at night. This has totally discouraged me, although it looks amazing haha. Nice vlogs :)

what a great vid - i never get tired of watching shimanami adventures. it is however nice when the quality is this good. great framing and pacing, very enjoyable. thx for giving me wonderful flashbacks. the gelato place u stopped in had a wonderful lil italian shack in the carpark with pasta to die for. the see through metal panel 2 storey shop @22:27 was built after the fire which took out quite a few shops - some still vacant to the left of it. the santa clause shop on the corner has different themes - i had a pumpkin scarecrow when last there during halloween :)

There were two boat man died of the boat crash turning upside down 😢few months ago ….
