    Narai-Juku is one of the few towns in Japan that still has the same townscape it had in the Edo period, when Samurai strolled its streets.
    Lying on the Nakasendo, an important route between Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto, Narai-Juku was one of the 69 post towns along the way, just before the steepest and most exhausting part of the route.
    Rich with history and also local handicraft, I made my way to the town in the Kiso valley, trying replace a Japanese item dear to my heart, but close to the end of its life.
    Follow me and a local friend on this Japan documentary through Narai-Juku.

    Do you think you would have done better? Find out by going on a tour with Michael: bit.ly/NaraiTour
    Also here’s a drinking game: Have a shot every time I say ‘personal’.

    Johannes I actually liked this one. You and Michael are a good team. And your chopsticks ARE unique and that is the goal; nobody will take them from you. :)

      Hi Diana,
      In this video I interviewed the owner of Iseya, which is a central inn in the town: th-cam.com/video/Q-iaWYPyD10/w-d-xo.html. Maybe that’s an option?

    Do foreigners need an Japanese name? Is that compulsory for living long time in Japan as foreigners?

    • @JapaneseJourney
      @JapaneseJourney  ปีที่แล้ว

      No. If getting married, one may take the partner's name, and if becoming naturalized, one can choose a Japanese name.

      ​@@JapaneseJourney- But do you need a Japanese name? And if yes, is it for surnames only or for first names, too?

    • @JapaneseJourney
      @JapaneseJourney  หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, you don't need a Japanese name.
