Kia ora from New Zealand. My partner and I had the good fortune of spending time in Koyasan and the pleasure of staying at a Buddhist temple lodging (Kongosanmai-in) before we set off on the four day Kumano kodo pilgrimage trail along the Nakahechi route starting in Tanabe and finishing in Shingu with overnight stay in Takahara, Nonaka, and Yunomine onsen. Thank you for posting such a wonderful video to TH-cam.
Koyasan is cool, I spent the night there and it’s so mystical. Definitely want to go back and take my parents once this COVID problem is resolved and safe to travel again
I went to Koyasan with my mother to show her the true beauty of Japan. We both loved it. We stayed at Ekoin, a temple lodging suitable for English speakers! They offer a night tour of Okunoin (also available in English,which I definitely recommend), a fire ceremony in the morning, Buddhist cuisine and meditation session. If you want the full experience, I recommend this temple, since booking is easy for foreigners (yet pricey, but in the same range as the other temple loding in Koyasan)!
I'm always so stunned by the sheer amount wnd variety of b-roll shots. Incredibly professional man! I liked the part about the cemetery best, didn't know it was so large!
please talk about samue, japanese working cloth, i believe there is somany people would love to know and buy it because its more natural to wear samue than kimono, when we get back to our own country...so please
I'd love to buy a blade from Japan but it leads to one question? If I buy a blade from them and If I were to return to America wouldn't I get in trouble to carry a blade I bought from Japan?

great info
Great video, Koyasan is so beautiful, and the knife forging looked so interesting- great shots and great hosting by Raina!
I so want to be there, do those tours and live those moments...
Really want to visit Osaka and Kyoto again as well as Tokyo. Miss it so much.
I like the relaxed pace and extra narration of this video, I can enjoy the views and learn more about what I'm looking at.

How do you say Blacksmith in Japanese? What is the Kanji? Asking because my last name is Blacksmith
I'd like to make a hanko with the Kanji
Blacksmith in Japanese is 鍛冶/かじ (kaji). It is a general term for a blacksmith or the blacksmithing.
