I’m Japanese. I’m a member of Deer Protection in Nara. Thank you for this video. One things that is very important request to protect the deer, especially baby deer. If you find the baby deer hidden in the root of the trees, please do not touch the babies and leave them just the way they are. Please keep some distance and watch over them softly. The mother deer are trying to hide the babies from humans. If someone touches the baby deer it might cause the risk of the mother deer doing child abandonment because of the smell of human touched the baby. Thank you very much. 🌸🙏🌸
Thank you!! We really enjoyed both spots, but we did enjoy that Nara had that very mysterious feeling like you said, and was a bit quieter!! 😊 We hope to visit again soon!!
Oh gosh it was adorable!!! I know it wasn’t in the video but when she would stop the deer would come back out and chase her. They kept going back and forth! Heart-meltingly cute!!!
In the next life, I wanna be a deer in Nara :) Everybody there is your friend, ppl feeds you all day long, you have ton of places to chill and hide in hot summer... this is deer heaven :)
Were not sure! I think they kinda become naturally trained when they exhibit a behavior and get rewarded for it! So now people kind of expect it and feel them when they do if. I’m not sure how it all started though!!
@@IfWeGoTo yeah that’s really incredible to me because it seems that all the dears are wild dears. And the fact that they know how to bow to get a treat is remarkable. They could be really sacred then!
Thank you - because I watched this video we did a day trip to Nara today. The temple view top, deer, mochi, and wakakusa curry were top notch. If all of your videos are authentic and helpful like this, you've got a happy new subscriber :)
Just found your channel after your Tokyo Disney Vlog popped up on my feed. Japan is one of my favorite countries to visit. After a three year absence I will be going back there in 3 .months. There’s so many places to see, visit and eat at y’all have shown, that I didn’t even know existed. Thanks for sharing!
Agreed! It is a wonderful city - so picturesque and fun! Looks like you also make videos! W love meeting fellow creators! Do you guys also have an instagram?
Deer are too cute. That kind look! Nara is just as enchanting as Kyoto. The Kinki region, including Osaka, is attractive. Please come to like Japan more and more and spread the charm.
They are adorable!! And definitely agree, we loved Nara!! We also very much enjoyed Osaka, but unfortunately we had a hard drive failure so it may be a while before the rest of our Japan videos make it up because we need amazing internet to get everything off the cloud! We definitely plan on returning to Japan in the future! One of our favorite places to visit for sure!
I’m visiting Japan in November and had cut Nara out of our itinerary because we are pushed for time, but now after seeing your video I’m desperately trying to find how we can fit it back in!
Oh you will have such an amazing trip, Japan is beautiful that time of year! Fingers crossed you can! If you're planning on visiting Kyoto and plan the trains right, it is an easy day trip - it only takes about 30-40mins each way and Nara is small/easily walkable so you don't really need to stay more than a day. It's a totally different vibe and worth it! Happy travels! :D
Thank you so much!! We stayed 3 nights in Nara.. only really spent two days there but it was enough to see everything and not feel rushed!!! Are you planning on visiting?!
Hoping so! Especially after seeing your video… trying hard to figure how to travel here, with so many places to see, and not be overwhelmed and rushed. I feel the only way to do it is to slow down, and see less… but BE more. People online say to do a day trip to Nara or 2 days in Kyoto… but I was thinking 2 full days in Nara, maybe 2.5 and three nights… and maybe 5 nights in Kyoto, 4 full days (is that enough or would you suggest more?). Then was also thinking to go to Kanazawa for 3 nights and Osaka for 3 nights to experience the more modern city culture of Japan. We have a 10 year old and a 7 month old baby so things will take us more time.
I think that two nights in Nara will be plenty. The biggest attractions are all very close. together and easy to see in a day! Also I think 4-5 days in Kyoto is plenty too! you will have time to explore a few of their major sights! If you don't want to deal with checking out/checking in/packing/moving you could also consider staying a bit of extra time in Kyoto and then taking trains into Nara for day trips! I believe it is about a 40 minute train ride each way, so not too bad! :) Especially if you stay near Kyoto Station! It's not the prettiest area of the city, but it's right in the center of the main attractions os it makes getting around a lot easier. Anyways, I hope you and your family have an amazing trip! Japan is so much fun to travel in! If you need any more tips, don't hesitate to reach out!
Thank you! Great advice :) so hard to decide… trying to learn how to relax into the reality that these decisions we obsess over when traveling (2 or 3 nights in Nara? 4 or 5 days in Kyoto?) only minimally change our over all experience … it’s how we engage when we are there. Another question… if we are going to Osaka a few days, Kyoto and Nara- is there anywhere else easily accessible in this area region that you really loved that might not be on my radar?
If I were you guys and it is your first time visiting I would probably do 2 nights in Nara and 5 in Kyoto! I think you can easily see Nara in two days even with a family. Kyoto is a bit more spread out, there is the central station and many the major sights are in like a ring around the central city and take a while to get to sometimes. I would want at the very least a whole day for Gion, a day for Arashiyama, and day for Fushimi Inari. Also one more tip, all over the main train stations and around largely touristed areas there are lockers you can leave your bags in so you don't have to wait around between check ins. I'd say they are quite safe. I would take valuables with you of course, but it's a nice option if you want to hang somewhere for a day then get to you hotel later! In that area we have only seen Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, Kobe, and Himeji. You could do Kobe or Himeji if you wanted, but I would probably allot your time into Osaka, Nara, or Kyoto instead. :) If you really want an extra day trip I think Kobe is only 20-30 mins from Osaka, they have some lovely gardens and gondolas in the mountains! Himeji was cool, but the only really big site is the Castle, which Osaka Castle is quite similar too! If you really want to max out your Japan trip, you can take the Shinkansen to Hiroshima. We loved our time there... it's a bit somber but has amazing history and powerful memorials that are nestled right into a vibrant city. Miyajima island was a lovely day trip from there too! It just depends on if you want a very go-go-go vacation or a more relaxed experience. :)
Thank you so much for watching!! Here is the listing to the Airbnb we stayed in, hope it helps!! www.airbnb.com/rooms/33415223?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=a36f67ce-6d7b-47b0-8ec4-2a2a05b1a55b
Nara looks really neat! I could go for some Japanese curry. The red bean flavor in mochi's is definitely interesting if you have not grown up with it. I love it but I ate it as a child all the time.
Nara was awesome!! In the US they sell these Japanese curry bricks that make legit tasting japanese curry! If you want me to send you the name of them lmk!! We eat them a lot when we're home! lol It is different, totally get why people like it too! Just some tasty sweet beans!!

i am going to japan this year with a group of friends and we have watched and loved all your videos :) every videos are shot beautifully, have excellent editing, and both of you seem like really chill people. i will definitely watch your other destination videos
Wow thank you all so much for watching and leaving your very kind comment!! Comments like yours really keep us going and make our day! 🤗 I hope you all have an amazing trip to Japan. It’s an awesome country!! If you guys need any tips or anything, don’t hesitate to reach out!! 😃
Nara is more than just deer and Todaiji, Kofukuji, and Kasuga Taisha. If you have the chance, please visit Horyuji, the world's oldest wooden building and Japan's greatest treasure.
We didn't quite make it out to the outskirts of Nara, but would love to explore more of the region one day! So thank you for the recommendation, I hope we can go in the future! LD
I know that was a terrible event and is now dark history, but I assure you that we do not see the city poorly for it. It was among our favorite experiences in Japan and we recognize that it is a rare occurrence for Japan to have such a serious event.
This made me reconsider pursuing Nara for the day from Kyoto. We only have 3 days in Kyoto so we would have to give up some time from there. I'm interested in the traditional/historical side of Japan and that wooden temple looks amazing. We would be there during cherry blossom season.
It is a very easy day trip and Nara is definitely do-able in one day! Just be sure to plan around the train times because I think they only come every 15-30 minutes or so, so missing one would cost valuable time! Both Kyoto and Nara are fantastic for traditional/historical Japan! Whether you decide to stay in Kyoto or make the day trip I don’t think you’ll go wrong! :) (for us, we preferred Nara though!) Hope you have an amazing trip and safe travels! 😃
@Cath789 so glad you got to make it out there! We’re the same, love Kyoto which is definitely larger, but Nara just had a charm that draws you in! 🥰 Hope you had an amazing trip regardless of not having quite enough time in Nara! There is always next time to explore more!
Hello! We did this over a couple of days, but Nara is small so a day trip should be sufficient! :) We did a day trip from Osaka a couple of months ago (but did not spend time filming really!) and it was plenty! :) Hope that helps!
Mugwort is like a medicinal plant. You can add it to a rice dish or salad. I have it growing in my backyard(Georgia). I think people in the US also ate it in colonial times. I have seen the plant in one garden in Williamsburg, VA.
Hello!! Glad to see the video about my hometown. Few people can find the beauty of Nara because Nara is not as flashy as other places like Tokyo and Kyoto. I am always sad about that, but you know what is really good!! Nara is famous for its temples and dears in northern area, but there are a lot of fascinating places in south . I hope that you visit Nara again !! Thank you for uploading wonderful video
Thank you!!! We are so happy you enjoyed it!! We love Tokyo, but there’s just something about a bit of nature, history, and culture that really captures the heart! We definitely hope to visit again!! We’ve been told there is much more to see!! Thanks again 😃
The visitor center in Nara has an accommodation facility "Sarusawa Inn", and despite its excellent location, you can stay at a very cheap price. From ¥4200 per person for a Japanese-style room without meals.
If you are interested in ancient history, Nara is better than Kyoto. In the suburbs and residential areas, there are many graves of ancient ruling families and stone structures of unknown purpose. Because they are creations of an age without letters, you can rather enjoy the mystery.
That's a good tip. We went to Nara also but only for a few days so we had limited time to soak in the history. Next time we will have to explore the suburbs for ancient graves.
Hi! Thanks for this video, I absolutely love all the places you've shown. Just a question though, how is Nara during golden week? I plan to visit from April 23rd to May 4th next year (its my only time off from work) and I'm worried seeing everyone say that its hell with how crowded Japan is during that time.
Ahh thank you! So happy you enjoyed it!! 😃 We have not been to Japan during golden week, but we do have a lot of friends who live there. It does seem extremely crowded, and you will probably experience a ton of crowds in Nara because it’s a very popular tourist spot. If it’s the only time you get off, I would be sure to plan very far ahead!! I would probably also recommend waking up super early to see quieter spots (Japan is very quiet before 7am!!) and then embrace the crowds and enjoy some of the events, street food, etc that pop up to celebrate! I think if you just go in knowing it’s going to be a bit more hectic you’ll set yourself up for a better time! :) Hope you have an amazing trip!
@@IfWeGoTo Thanks for replying so quick! Much appreciated. Ah and I see, yeah I'll just end up embracing the crowds haha! I am really looking forward to all the festivities. Getting to experience them firsthand will make going thru crowded areas surely worth it. As for getting up early its no problem for me thankfully! I will go and do that so thanks for the heads up, cheers!
Oh anytime!! Yeah, I think as long as you expect it to be crazy, you'll have a good time! Japan is awesome crowded or not!! And sometimes the crowds add to the experience! Enjoy your trip! If you ever need any tips, don't hesitate to reach out! :)
0:55 ☕ I would love to recommend everyone to try out local coffee shops. Japan has an amazing coffee culture. There are tons of local coffee shops and small coffee roasters. Many shops are with beautiful interior and good vibe. Some serves nice food too. Coffee shops are the gems of Japanese cities. It's a great rabbit hole to dive into. It can be more challenging for traveler to go to local coffee shops. But it will be a great experience and memory besides the convenience store coffee. Convenience store coffee and Starbucks coffee are super popular among locals, too. But the small shops are worth your visit for sure. And if you visit a Japanese book store, there is a section with annual magazines introducing all the best coffee shops in different cities.
@@luckystrike2945 台湾人です、申し訳ありません。 I like coffee shops, so I research coffee shops including Japanese coffee shops as a hobbit. And I had been to a few Japanese coffee shops when I travel, I try to visit as many coffee shops as I can on my trips. Excuse me if I got anything wrong in any of my comment. Do you have some favorite coffee shops you love? 😃
Ahh thank you!! Japan was such a vibe!! It made it easy to film hahaha! For this one we used a Canon EOS R and a handful of shots were on a gopro! Like while biking! Hope that helps! :D
Thanks for stopping by guys. We loved having you.
Thank you so much!! It was an amazing time!! 😃

Welcome to NARA!
I like Nara more than Kyoto.Because Nara is a mysterious atmosphere.
I went to Nara in 18times for 8years.
Please come again!!
Thank you!! We really enjoyed both spots, but we did enjoy that Nara had that very mysterious feeling like you said, and was a bit quieter!! 😊
We hope to visit again soon!!
奈良に来てくださり、ありがとうございます。とても嬉しいです。
地元に住む者にも新しい発見があり、一緒に旅しているような、とても楽しいチャンネルでした。
奈良は盆地にあり、天候が安定しているので災害も少なく、数千年も昔から日本の都でした。
京都よりも有名ではなく、観光客が少ないですが、心が落ち着く古都だと思います。
いつの日か、奈良の名物である「三輪そうめん」や「柿の葉寿司」「奈良漬（酒風味の漬物）」を食べてみてみてください。
料理のおすすめありがとうございます。戻ったときに試してみることのリストにそれらを追加します。
奈良公園は紅葉も綺麗だなあ。今年の秋には行ってみたい🍁
ゴージャスな光景でした！秋は訪れるのに最適な時期です！今年も行けますように！
Your video is super cool!
Nara is a beautiful and peaceful place. I hope many people enjoy staying there.
Thank you! Also Nara is wonderfully peaceful. Have you made it out there yet?

Oh that sounds like it would be amazing!!
Your video recording skills are so amazing.
The scenery is so beautiful.
I want to touch deer too
Ahh thank you so much! That means a lot to hear!
Nara is definitely worth a visit, such a beautiful place!!
You guys met the bowing dears! That’s amazing
Yes!! We weren't sure if they actually bowed or if it was a rumor, but they did! And they are so dang cute!!
Yes they are! Did you guys figure out why the dears could bow? Did someone train them to bow? Or it’s just their natural instinct?
Were not sure! I think they kinda become naturally trained when they exhibit a behavior and get rewarded for it! So now people kind of expect it and feel them when they do if. I’m not sure how it all started though!!

Nara was just as 50 years ago when I was a student. Thank you.
I’m glad to hear that it is relatively unchanged 😊
I recommend a restaurant named 白(Tsukumo) in Nara.
Definitely one of the best Japanese cuisine restaurants
Thanks for the tip. We will definitely give Tsukumo a try next time we visit Nara.

奈良ももちろん良いですが、奈良県を訪ねたなら”斑鳩（法隆寺）””明日香（奈良の前の都）”
も今度は是非行ってみて下さい。（ただの田舎といえば田舎ですが）
次の訪問では、斑鳩とアスカに会う時間を作ります。ヒントをありがとう!
i am going to japan this year with a group of friends and we have watched and loved all your videos :) every videos are shot beautifully, have excellent editing, and both of you seem like really chill people. i will definitely watch your other destination videos
Wow thank you all so much for watching and leaving your very kind comment!! Comments like yours really keep us going and make our day! 🤗
I hope you all have an amazing trip to Japan. It’s an awesome country!! If you guys need any tips or anything, don’t hesitate to reach out!! 😃
動画の撮り方が上手いですね😊
奈良行ったことがないので行きたいと思いました❤
ありがとう！奈良も行った方がいいよ、綺麗だし、お辞儀をする鹿が可愛いから。
Excellent filming, information, and editing, as usual ❤️ Gotta love Nara 🤗
Thank you!
奈良や京都は、日本人でも日本に来た気がする場所です。
絶対！自然と文化が完璧に融合した場所です。
Nara is more than just deer and Todaiji, Kofukuji, and Kasuga Taisha. If you have the chance, please visit Horyuji, the world's oldest wooden building and Japan's greatest treasure.
We didn't quite make it out to the outskirts of Nara, but would love to explore more of the region one day! So thank you for the recommendation, I hope we can go in the future! LD
Nara is the prefecture where former Prime Minister Abe was killed, and its image is not good.
I know that was a terrible event and is now dark history, but I assure you that we do not see the city poorly for it. It was among our favorite experiences in Japan and we recognize that it is a rare occurrence for Japan to have such a serious event.
@@chromistsI don't want you to say that now.
This made me reconsider pursuing Nara for the day from Kyoto. We only have 3 days in Kyoto so we would have to give up some time from there. I'm interested in the traditional/historical side of Japan and that wooden temple looks amazing. We would be there during cherry blossom season.
It is a very easy day trip and Nara is definitely do-able in one day! Just be sure to plan around the train times because I think they only come every 15-30 minutes or so, so missing one would cost valuable time!
Both Kyoto and Nara are fantastic for traditional/historical Japan! Whether you decide to stay in Kyoto or make the day trip I don’t think you’ll go wrong! :) (for us, we preferred Nara though!)
Hope you have an amazing trip and safe travels! 😃
Update. Came back from Nara finally. Loved it. 7 hours wasn't enough. Actually would of stayed here instead of Kyoto if I were to do it again.
@Cath789 so glad you got to make it out there! We’re the same, love Kyoto which is definitely larger, but Nara just had a charm that draws you in! 🥰
Hope you had an amazing trip regardless of not having quite enough time in Nara! There is always next time to explore more!
撮り方や構成がとても素晴らしいですね
ありがとう！
Thanks for the helpful video! Did you guys do this all in one day? I'm trying to work out if a day trip will be sufficient in Nara. Thanks!
Hello! We did this over a couple of days, but Nara is small so a day trip should be sufficient! :)
We did a day trip from Osaka a couple of months ago (but did not spend time filming really!) and it was plenty! :)
Hope that helps!
@@IfWeGoTo amazing! Thanks so much for taking the time to respond🙏 have a great day!
Mugwort is like a medicinal plant. You can add it to a rice dish or salad. I have it growing in my backyard(Georgia). I think people in the US also ate it in colonial times. I have seen the plant in one garden in Williamsburg, VA.
That's interesting, I didn't know it was so wide spread in it's use. For sure thought it was a Japanese thing. Thanks for sharing.
Can you list the airbnb you visited. It looks so cute!
Yes of course! it is www.airbnb.com/rooms/33415223?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=e3d72b38-9416-4e0b-96a9-49044ea00cad.

いらっしゃいませ🦌💕
Thank you!! 😊
奈良は日本人の私でさえ、凄く落ち着く所でしたよ。外国人観光客には京都が有名ですが、奈良の方が私は、好きです。奈良は、凄く落ち着きます。🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
私も同感です、京都は美しく、素晴らしい歴史があります。しかし、奈良はさらに素晴らしいです - はるかに穏やかで穏やかです！
楽しんで下さいね
どうもありがとうございます！！
I can't speak English but let me say this Nice Smile!👍
Wow thank you!!!
外国の方で二月堂まで行く動画を撮ってる人って少ないんですよ。よく二月堂を知ってましたね👍
ありがとう！！楽しんでいただけてよかったです！
Hello!! Glad to see the video about my hometown. Few people can find the beauty of Nara because Nara is not as flashy as other places like Tokyo and Kyoto.
I am always sad about that, but you know what is really good!! Nara is famous for its temples and dears in northern area, but there are a lot of fascinating places in south .
I hope that you visit Nara again !!
Thank you for uploading wonderful video
Thank you!!! We are so happy you enjoyed it!!
We love Tokyo, but there’s just something about a bit of nature, history, and culture that really captures the heart!
We definitely hope to visit again!! We’ve been told there is much more to see!!
Thanks again 😃
Thanks!
It’s so amazing!
Thank you!!! 😃
It’s my hometown. Thank you for visiting.
Thank you for welcoming us! We loved Nara!!
Our pleasure!
とてもすてき❤また奈良へ遊びに来てね!
ありがとう！近いうちにまた訪問できることを願っています。
You guys looking good together 🌸💕🦌
Thank you so much!!!
The visitor center in Nara has an accommodation facility "Sarusawa Inn", and despite its excellent location, you can stay at a very cheap price. From ¥4200 per person for a Japanese-style room without meals.
Oh we did not know that!! Thanks for sharing - we will definitely check their availability on our next visit!
奈良を楽しんでいただきありがとうございました。
着物がとても似合ってますね(^^)/
ありがとうございます。
If you are interested in ancient history, Nara is better than Kyoto. In the suburbs and residential areas, there are many graves of ancient ruling families and stone structures of unknown purpose. Because they are creations of an age without letters, you can rather enjoy the mystery.
That's a good tip. We went to Nara also but only for a few days so we had limited time to soak in the history. Next time we will have to explore the suburbs for ancient graves.
did you visit early december? Love your videos
Thank you!! This was in mid-november!! :)
つい鹿せんべいは食べてみるよね〜🤭

Hahaha he just couldn’t help but try them!!
Hi! Thanks for this video, I absolutely love all the places you've shown. Just a question though, how is Nara during golden week? I plan to visit from April 23rd to May 4th next year (its my only time off from work) and I'm worried seeing everyone say that its hell with how crowded Japan is during that time.
Ahh thank you! So happy you enjoyed it!! 😃
We have not been to Japan during golden week, but we do have a lot of friends who live there. It does seem extremely crowded, and you will probably experience a ton of crowds in Nara because it’s a very popular tourist spot. If it’s the only time you get off, I would be sure to plan very far ahead!! I would probably also recommend waking up super early to see quieter spots (Japan is very quiet before 7am!!) and then embrace the crowds and enjoy some of the events, street food, etc that pop up to celebrate! I think if you just go in knowing it’s going to be a bit more hectic you’ll set yourself up for a better time! :)
Hope you have an amazing trip!
@@IfWeGoTo Thanks for replying so quick! Much appreciated. Ah and I see, yeah I'll just end up embracing the crowds haha! I am really looking forward to all the festivities. Getting to experience them firsthand will make going thru crowded areas surely worth it. As for getting up early its no problem for me thankfully! I will go and do that so thanks for the heads up, cheers!
Oh anytime!! Yeah, I think as long as you expect it to be crazy, you'll have a good time! Japan is awesome crowded or not!! And sometimes the crowds add to the experience!
Enjoy your trip! If you ever need any tips, don't hesitate to reach out! :)
Welcome! to Japan✋🦌
Thank you!
Nice👍Video❤
Thank you!!!
二月堂の横には三月堂があって、佃煮にできそうなほど国宝や重文の仏像がある。 なにより空いているｗ
「通」な場所。
ああ、次の訪問でそれを見るのは面白いでしょう！
0:55 ☕ I would love to recommend everyone to try out local coffee shops.
Japan has an amazing coffee culture. There are tons of local coffee shops and small coffee roasters. Many shops are with beautiful interior and good vibe. Some serves nice food too. Coffee shops are the gems of Japanese cities. It's a great rabbit hole to dive into.
It can be more challenging for traveler to go to local coffee shops. But it will be a great experience and memory besides the convenience store coffee. Convenience store coffee and Starbucks coffee are super popular among locals, too. But the small shops are worth your visit for sure.
And if you visit a Japanese book store, there is a section with annual magazines introducing all the best coffee shops in different cities.
We definitely should have tried more local coffee shops!! The ones that we did try were great!
@@IfWeGoTo I strongly agree with all of MAO's comment content.
I think so too.
To MAOさん
MAOさんって、日本人ですよね？コメ内容が深いわ。
@@luckystrike2945 台湾人です、申し訳ありません。 I like coffee shops, so I research coffee shops including Japanese coffee shops as a hobbit. And I had been to a few Japanese coffee shops when I travel, I try to visit as many coffee shops as I can on my trips.
Excuse me if I got anything wrong in any of my comment.
Do you have some favorite coffee shops you love? 😃
@@mthsu Why are you apologizing?
It is the opposite. I respect you.
You understand the traditional Japanese emotion very well, right?
It's amazing.
It's hard to understand the scale of the Buddha but for some context, the small, golden Buddhas around the head are 6 feet tall.
Absolutely!! The camera just does not capture its enormous size!!
カップルデートにスイーツいいですね❤🎉

Please try the following the next time you visit Nara.
Place the deer cracker around your forehead.
The deer will bow when you do so.
Ohh we will next time! Thank you for the tip!!
About to book 2 nights stay in Nara, will that be enough?
Hi!! Yes I think that will be plenty!

Was this all done in one day? :)
Hi!! This was actually filmed over two days, but I think you could do Nara in one! :)
@@IfWeGoTo Thank-you :)
奈良は凄い建造物があります。日本最古の都なので。日本で1番に行くべきです😊

Binging your Japan content! I was wondering what camera/s you used for this vlog? I really love the quality!
Ahh thank you!! Japan was such a vibe!! It made it easy to film hahaha!
For this one we used a Canon EOS R and a handful of shots were on a gopro! Like while biking!
Hope that helps! :D

Did they have kids kimonos in the visitor center?
I don’t remember seeing any! I’m not sure though! They are pretty active on their Facebook page, I bet you could ask them there! :)
