Agreed. I can't imagine nature coexisting this well with human society in any other culture except Japan. Put that river anywhere else and people would be pissing, crapping, and throwing trash in it.
@@englishatheart Fishes and fish can be used interchangeably, with "fishes" sometimes being used to describe different species of fish in marine biology.
Koi basically term for carp. And coloful kois you see today originate from wild carp which has plain color. So kois can survive even in not so good water quality.
Funny that you say this, because they actually see the two as being distinctly different spaces. If you have a look at their cities this becomes starkly cclear, as almost everything is cemented even the rivers and there is a very clear dividing line between space for humanbeings and space for nature.
This looks like one of those pretty fantasy towns in a comic book that someone made up to look so beautiful that it looks like it could be real, but seems to good to be true. I definitely need to place this on my list of places to go when I finally visit Japan.
Sacto1654 // that's what I was thinking about while watching the video! Although it's a beautiful town, I was just so scared that tourists might not be respectful of the rivers, water wells, gutters etc, since even *fish* live in there 😨. But after reading your comment I'm less worried, haha
You can't believe this river is beside many houses. How they made it still so clean like rivers on the forest. Amazing people in japan so much descipline 😍😍
Yea...i was wondering the same thing. Usually when river near housing or shops it gets dirty due to human activities. I need to go there and learn theit method of drainning sewage water
The world literally could take a lesson from Japan. Most asian countries at that. Well disciplined people but to driven to meet expectations of the elder. Suicide is high in those countries. Regardless, it is a well balanced and strong minded culture.
I'm from Egypt and the Nile River is our source of life. It kept our civilization alive for thousands of years, and yet the government puts little effort into cleaning it and people pollute it like it's a rubbish bin.

Try visiting pakistani mountain areas other than Murree. Murree has now so many tourists that it's beautiful is gone. The rivers are even in pakistan better although you can't swim because of rocks and water Is extremely fast but it is healing. Plz visit if you get the chance.
Hi Rachel & Jun Do you know the story of Mr Ryoji Sato who was the bus conductor between Nagoya and Kanazawa and devoted to planting the cherry blossom trees along his bus route from Nagoya to Kanazawa by his own expenses. He had planted almost 2000 cherryblossom trees for his short life(he died 47 years old). His dream was A Tunnel of Cherry Blossom from Pacific Ocean to The Sea of Japan. Sakura-Michi Nature Run 250km takes place respecting Mr Ryoji Sato´s spirit every year in April. It starts from Nagoya Castle, Gifu, Seki, Gujo Hachiman, Shirotori, Shougawa-Sakura, Shirakawa Go, Gokayama, and goal is Kenrokuen-Kanazawa, time limit is 36 hours. Running route is amazingly beautiful and gorgeous, very clean water of Nagara River, small mountain towns, villages and of course mountains. And Shirakawago which is Unesco Heritage site! And Takaya which is very famous of Takayama Festival is not far from Shirakawago. I participated to Sakura-Michi Nature Run 250km in April butin this year I couldn´t finish it, I had to retire at 241 km because of my back problem and I couldn´t run at all anymore(I have finished it three times within 36 hours). I´ll revenge it next time. So I really recommend to Mr Ryoji Sato´s route from Nagoya to Kenrokuen Kanazawa via Shirakawago. The route is really gorgeous.
Many years ago I went here with my school group from the USA as a part of our exchange. We stayed in the hostel next to the temple and met with local students. I remember it as such a beautiful city would love to return some day!
In many parts of Japan it is rude to walk and eat at the same time unless if you are in a market, and you are supposed to carry the trash along with you and dispose it at your home or hotel. The clean streets make individual pieces of trash stand out and deter people from littering. As a result, the gutters are filled almost entirely of rainwater instead of filthy trash water, and fish can move in. ^w^
Oh I love Kurashiki, another awesome place! I highly recommend that cafe called Yurinan, you can also stay overnight there, it´s cheap and a traditional Japanese house
it feels like I'm being healed just my watching this; anything about Japan actually. I love how they maintain their culture and nature with the help of modern technology at the same time.
@@tomosama6625 still, japan in cleanliness and pollution is a lot better than my country India. But we are trying hard, and in a last few years we have improved a lot.
+Rachel & Jun haha i will try to be brave ;) its just the first time thats scary. Lets jump together next time~ I will give you all of my tips for swimming underwater ^^
Thank you very much for your video. It's so beautiful like others. "Gujo Hachiman" is where my parents were born. When I was a child, I spend almost all of the Summer Vacation there. One thing I was surprised was that no one locked the doors of the houses. I said "It's dangerous !", but Hachiman people (Hachimanian?) said "Why? no one take anything". It's so safe at that time. Also, one impressive dialect is "DASHIKAN" meaing "NO". I wonder if it is still used in daily life, but senior people may recognize it, and say "How did you know that?" Hope all the people visiting "Gujo Hachiman" have a Good Time there.
This place is gorgeous. Being from a small town myself I'm jealous of how beautiful it is. The shops, the architecture, fish just swimming nearby the streets. It's like this place is out of a storybook.
The problem is: a huge number of Chinese tourists with no manners are everywhere in Japan, and they are causing a lot of trouble. The ancient Japanese capital Kyoto is filled with Chinese tourists.
oh wow, I did that bridge jump in 1998 when I visited Japan (from England), took me 30mins before I finally got the courage... Good memories, give anything to go back there one day. Stayed at a hotel and had dinner on the river on a boat eating fish off a stick. In the evening was some kind of Japanese festival where we all wore wooden shoes with slates in. The nostalgia, can't believe how long ago it was
Good desition. .. Enjoy travelling life. .. Really Japanese so beautiful Friendly people, beautiful Japan Clean and green, full systematic, full security, happyest place.

My cousin and I are travelling for a month in Japan and right now we are in Gujo Hachiman staying in a Ryokan by the river. It's absolutely divine, so serene and traditional. Unfortunately it's pretty cold here at the moment so we don't fancy swimming in the water but at least the sun shining is still making everything look amazing :) we also keep seeing koi fish in the grates too haha!
Que lugar encantador. A água que corre através da cidade é cuidada e limpa. Que povo maravilhoso, consciente da importância vital da água. Lindo de ver.

後藤由佳 you are very lucky dear. my valley is same to same as yours but you people have maintained it very clean and fragile. I really appreciate you people.
Swimming in a clean river in countryside is one of the best childhood memories most Japanese has with their own families. You can't go wrong with the places with those unmanned manual vending machines with argurably the most advanced technology on earth. lol
I am a Japanese living in Tokyo. Thank you for introducing Japan nice place. I have not yet been to Gujo Hachiman. If I have a chance, I will go there.
Stealth Assassin lol I honestly think to move there when I'm getting older. Despite, on a positive way this place is heaven and very clean. But on negative way, I can't speak Japanese and how to live in their culture. I've seen a lot of Rachel and Jun's Vlogs where they went to wan wan land, koi land, and even taking their cats to walk and also fox land. It was amazing, and sometimes I always wanted to pay a visit, but can't. Which is now, I'm at Japan for my collage and have dorms and learn Japanese! I was very concern about people, because sometimes they are people too who was Japanese, but I was wrong. There are so many people from other countries! It was amazing, it was affordable and even I got a tons of friends which is Japanese. They were used to speak English, so every time we hang out we would go anywhere spend time together, and have fun. It was amazing!!!
@@albedolovebot209 I hope I can go to Japan and Korea in the future for college, I just started my first semester and I really want to go to these two countries someday, especially now that I'm still young
I just want to let you know I saw this video when you guys published it 8 years ago, and I'm finally visiting Gujo today!!! It wouldn't have happened if it weren't for you ❤ A hug and best wishes from an Argentinian visiting Japan!
+namelessASMR Agreed, I haven't lived in other parts of the world, but I've been around. Every country has ups and downs, that definitely doesn't change with Japan especially for their declining birth rate, however I think everyone was joking... unless their otaku or antiamerica and they can't be reasoned with, although there is some realism in the Donald Trump statement lol
This Japanese town reminds me of a place in the county of Somerset here in the UK. Like the town in the video, it has a couple of rivers running through it, though it is situated in a steep valley cut into the Exmoor moorland rather than sited in mountains, and is on the coast. The place is called Lynmouth, with a sister town called Lynton above it on the valley ridge. I think it is one of the most beautiful places in England. But for the fact the Water City has Japanese architecture and all those fish, the two places are almost identical. Tragically, in 1952, a massive flood rushed down the river Lyn, washing a number of bankside homes away, inumdating the town and killing a number of people. I hope the Water City avoids such a disaster!
I paused the video half way just to post this. It's amazing how they can keep a river that runs through a town so clean. The water is so clean that freshwater fishes can thrive in. How do they deal with drainage from the residents? Or the sewerage? In many parts of the world, such rivers would be so contaminated, you wouldn't dare put your toes into them, let alone swim in them. I wish society can study these models and one day perhaps, everyone can just have a dip in a nearby river, just like them.
I've seen pictures of the koi fish along side the curb before. that is sooo amazing! My parents and grandparents have koi ponds. I love them and the sound of running water. So relaxing. ☺ I told my parents that I want to go to Japan someday and they asked me why. I told them many reasons and this place was one of them. So thanks for sharing this video!
The natural design of this city is really amazing. This city is a true inspiration for everyone. It's really a small part of paradise. We have to pay tribute to those who have made a great contribution to maintaining the beauty of Gujo Hachiman.
Красивый этот город у воды.это же бесплатный аквапарк в реке.есть рыба и ее можно покормить.это прекрасно.замечательный город и огромное аригато автору видео.

you are very lucky dear. my valley is same to same as yours but you people have maintained it very clean and fragile. I really appreciate you people.
@@TheWoodwardian bài hat?
Can i work there?
Swimming in a clean river in countryside is one of the best childhood memories most Japanese has with their own families.
You can't go wrong with the places with those unmanned manual vending machines with argurably the most advanced technology on earth. lol
i want to live here! my god the place is so clean that even kois can be found in the canals.
The Kois are the ones keeping it clean
コロナが収束して、こういう日常が一日でも早く戻ってきますように
Im from Bali, i donesia. But I love japan.
Clean place, nice people & friendly, rich of cultur also.
Someday i'll going there..
No puedo creer que limpio están las calles ... ¡¡y los peces viven en la cuneta !! ¡Esta ciudad está locamente limpia! ✨ 🧼
I wanna live in Japan. Just beautiful nature, and so clean..
I am a Japanese living in Tokyo.
Thank you for introducing Japan nice place.
I have not yet been to Gujo Hachiman.
If I have a chance, I will go there.
Oh man, I wish I can visit this place before I die smh
Stealth Assassin lol
I honestly think to move there when I'm getting older. Despite, on a positive way this place is heaven and very clean. But on negative way, I can't speak Japanese and how to live in their culture. I've seen a lot of Rachel and Jun's Vlogs where they went to wan wan land, koi land, and even taking their cats to walk and also fox land. It was amazing, and sometimes I always wanted to pay a visit, but can't. Which is now, I'm at Japan for my collage and have dorms and learn Japanese! I was very concern about people, because sometimes they are people too who was Japanese, but I was wrong. There are so many people from other countries! It was amazing, it was affordable and even I got a tons of friends which is Japanese. They were used to speak English, so every time we hang out we would go anywhere spend time together, and have fun. It was amazing!!!
@@albedolovebot209 I hope I can go to Japan and Korea in the future for college, I just started my first semester and I really want to go to these two countries someday, especially now that I'm still young
Suga stealing my jams how did u went to japan for study or something cause I’ve been wanting to go to Japan ever since.
I just want to let you know I saw this video when you guys published it 8 years ago, and I'm finally visiting Gujo today!!! It wouldn't have happened if it weren't for you ❤ A hug and best wishes from an Argentinian visiting Japan!
All i could think about was "this must be where the people of the water tribe originated"
also, I really like your outfit Rachel :3
very nice place, gonna move there when america falls apart.
***** Mhmm
+Eddi Kimball 2020 Kanye lol
+Kelsee Barton yeah its gonna fall apart of Donald Trump wins for president
+namelessASMR Then inform us, kind patriot, instead of just saying you know nothing and leaving it.
+namelessASMR Agreed, I haven't lived in other parts of the world, but I've been around. Every country has ups and downs, that definitely doesn't change with Japan especially for their declining birth rate, however I think everyone was joking... unless their otaku or antiamerica and they can't be reasoned with, although there is some realism in the Donald Trump statement lol
Every time Rachel visits somewhere in Japan, she always say, "This is my favourite place *so far* "
Maybe every place she visits tops the last.
Seriously, nobody's talking about the giant dancing turtle?

No, its a river child
Thank you very much. I was there. I loved that place.
This Japanese town reminds me of a place in the county of Somerset here in the UK. Like the town in the video, it has a couple of rivers running through it, though it is situated in a steep valley cut into the Exmoor moorland rather than sited in mountains, and is on the coast. The place is called Lynmouth, with a sister town called Lynton above it on the valley ridge. I think it is one of the most beautiful places in England. But for the fact the Water City has Japanese architecture and all those fish, the two places are almost identical. Tragically, in 1952, a massive flood rushed down the river Lyn, washing a number of bankside homes away, inumdating the town and killing a number of people. I hope the Water City avoids such a disaster!

I paused the video half way just to post this. It's amazing how they can keep a river that runs through a town so clean. The water is so clean that freshwater fishes can thrive in. How do they deal with drainage from the residents? Or the sewerage? In many parts of the world, such rivers would be so contaminated, you wouldn't dare put your toes into them, let alone swim in them. I wish society can study these models and one day perhaps, everyone can just have a dip in a nearby river, just like them.
Japan🇯🇵 are just different level.. Wish I was born there too..
They have highest suicidal rate too.
@I like girls why!?
@I like girls 🤣love you
huge workload, strict discipline, highest suicide rate, no
@@GS_youtube76 don't spread bullshit when you don't know anything. It is not highest (but yeah still high...)
よく通ってるとこがこうやって紹介されてると嬉しいな😊
I've seen pictures of the koi fish along side the curb before. that is sooo amazing! My parents and grandparents have koi ponds. I love them and the sound of running water. So relaxing. ☺ I told my parents that I want to go to Japan someday and they asked me why. I told them many reasons and this place was one of them.
So thanks for sharing this video!
Japan is literally perfect in terms of beauty
The natural design of this city is really amazing. This city is a true inspiration for everyone.
It's really a small part of paradise.
We have to pay tribute to those who have made a great contribution to maintaining the beauty of Gujo Hachiman.
Gujo is an amazing city. One of my ancestors were Japanese and his hometown is Gujo city. Thank you for sharing!!
I wish, God willing, to travel to this beautiful city some day.
Красивый этот город у воды.это же бесплатный аквапарк в реке.есть рыба и ее можно покормить.это прекрасно.замечательный город и огромное аригато автору видео.
The water is unbelievable clear and clean. Such a nice place!
I salute how the Japanese is so clean and disciplined, their culture is truly amazing.
I agree 👍
I really want to live in a place like this. This beautiful scenery. And it looks like a relaxing place.
I wish we have this kind of manner😓no garbage anywhere
I'm from the Philippines but Japan is the home of my heart and this is the paradise of my life ..
The way you this is filmed is very nice. This video makes me want to go just because of how unique and exciting it is
One thing that were in need to our self is descipline so that a beautiful sceneries like these in japan are to be continue to treasure for the next generation that has to come.
Amazingly clean water running through a Village in Japan! We all should learn from this >>> Respecting & Taking Good Care of Mother Nature , Mother Nature will repay in Good Natural Resources & Weather to live in for All in that Place! 🙏 Arigato Gozaimasu! / Thank You So Much! 🕯🌷🌿🌍💖🕊🇯🇵
It’s amazing to see even canal water so clean that you can see ground below and even fishes , I can’t imagine here this
Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. I can't wait to visit, the Water City, The Cat Island, and the Fox Village as well. The Water City is exquisitely paved in stone and rock blending naturally into the eco-friendly environment. Just loved it!
Nostalgic. Japan has many beautiful places to visit. I lived in Gifu City next to Nagara River.
It was so beautiful to watch... I cried
日本人だけど行ったことないわ、となりの下呂温泉は何回かあるんだけどいつも素通り。この動画取り方うまいからみてたらめっちゃ行きたくなる😅
it's my dream to visit, I'd probably cry from the simple beauty itself
This gives me a deep sense of satisfaction and peace beyond words!
About 15 years ago, I did a homestay in Japan and had a host family in Gifu, they took me here and I totally forgot how awesome this was. Strange nostalgia!!
You're very lucky :000
😲 Wow Majestic Japan 🇯🇵🥰 hope someday I can visit this amazing country 🥺
