    If travelers would like to challenge to go to deep place of Japan courageously, I recommend them to go to Dewa sanzan, especially Haguro mountain in Yamagata prefecture where mountain preasts called Yamabushi or spiritual psychics train on the mountain. Travelers can also experience their ascetic and a little severe practices wearing characteristic white clothes.

    • @Pvemaster2
      @Pvemaster2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    • @shaunaobrien2763
      @shaunaobrien2763 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      This was one of my favourite trips in Japan. We stayed in a shukubo (temple stay) on Haguro San. Loved seeing the beautiful pagoda, climbing the 2,446 stone steps and seeing the Yamabushi (mountain monks) with their conch 🐚 Yamagata is such an underrated prefecture. I recommend Yamadera if you're visiting the area, too!

    • @user-dy4qn4eu8u
      @user-dy4qn4eu8u ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @Pvemaster2
      Oh,That was a shame.You seemed to be so close to Mt.Haguro.I hope you could walk up to the mountain next time.
      The many steps to the pagoda and shrine are sorounded by clear sacred air and very tall old ceder trees. I think little waterfall also still exists one the way to the shrine.

    • @user-dy4qn4eu8u
      @user-dy4qn4eu8u ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Shauna O'Brien
      It's great!! you made it!!
      As you tell us, I think Yamagata is one of the hidden good tour destinations in Japan.
      Especially, their beef, ramen, fruits, sake, vegitables, imoni potato soup and soba are very good taste.
      Yamadera is also wonderful place which temple is on the mountain.

    Japan is rich in tourism resources, and Japanese people frequently travel within the country.
    Each region has its own specialties and offers delicious meals and souvenirs that make the most of these specialties.
    As a volcanic country, Japan has hot springs all over the country, and bathing in hot springs while enjoying nature is a regular trip for Japanese people.

      @@alwaysinsearch I did go on my trip! It was great. I spent time in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Kanazawa. All three places were quite different. I liked Kyoto more than Tokyo. In fact, Kyoto is a city I could see myself living. Kanazawa was also AMAZING, and sort of a hidden gem.
      My favorite place I went was Lake Shoji which is one of the 5 lakes near mount fuji. I got an absolutely epic picture of myself with Mount Fuji. The weather was perfect, but that isn't always the case (sometimes the mountain isn't even visible because of the clouds).
      Fair warning, if you take a bus to lake shoji I think there are only 2 per day, and it makes trying to connect to the train very difficult. If I had to do it again I would stay at a hotel that is near Lake Shoji (you can google it).

    Thank you for this awesome information. Definitely will include those hidden gems on our next trip. Do they allow guests with tattoo to use the onsens? Added this video to my library and will purchase the e-book.

    If you ever visit Kyoto, there is a kawadoko restaurant (Ryori Ryokan) Hirobun just north of the city you can take a train and bus/taxi too that makes for a fun side trip to eat somen straight out of the flowing water. 日本が とても大好きだ!!

    I've been to Nikko and enjoyed it there. Stayed in the wrong location perhaps not much around but was still very beautiful

    Love this! I have been to a few of the places on your list - Nikko a few times. Shirakawago was magical, it snowed a bit when I was there. I also recommend nearby Hida Takayama. Beppu was so lovely, and I loved visiting the art galleries in nearby Oita City, too. Ouchi-juku was beautiful in the autumn. I had such a nice day there. I loved the whole Aizu area of Fukushima, and stayed in an amazing vegan-friendly guest house in an old school, called Dana Village in Nishi-Aizu. So so recommended. I lived in Japan for a few years and this year am going back for the first time since leaving. I have visited every prefecture, but Nachi Falls is still high on my list! Maybe this time. Just to echo your tip to rent a car - please do! I loved driving in Japan. It was so easy, as I'm from the UK, so used to driving onthe left, all the cars are automatic and the roads are really good. You see sooo much beauty. Aso San was one of the most beautiful drives I've ever done. I really loved it there. Also, you get to stop at roadside service stations and pick up lovely local souvenirs and local produce. Can't wait to come back, you have really inspired me ❤️

      Oh I see you’ve really done a lot of travel in Japan too! I just added Dana Village to my maps 😄 Thanks for the recommendation!
