Thanks! Yes, music makes all the difference! What would our world be like without music? Selecting soundtracks is perhaps the most enjoyable part about editing and creating these videos. Its all new to me, but having fun with it.
What good fortune! Josephine learned while speaking (in Japanese) with a local lady that the town had just restocked the canals a day or two before. Had we been there earlier, we'd have been looking just at water flowing past. That was a fun town to explore. It was kind of a surprise "lets check this out" kind of thing. Hope you can visit there yourself! Thanks for watching and commenting!
You're welcome, and thanks for watching. As with many of the popular tourist destinations, it is best to arrive early to obtain a parking spot if driving or to avoid the crowds. Also, when walking a town such as Kanazawa or Takayama, you can also avoid the pedestrian crowds of tour groups by going out late in the afternoon or early evening because those groups typically return to their buses or hotels late in the afternoon. Appreciate your comment!
@@UnchartedJapanTravel that's what I'm doing bro. I been to Japan many time free and easy but not driving so this time i have 6 of us we will be diving and take our own time but have watch out the crowds that you mentioned.🫡👍
Thanks for watching! Yes, the canals of Hida Takayama are pretty cool. Just so happens we arrived just two days after they had replenished the fish stock with over 1,000 carp. Couldn't have timed it better!
Yes, the Hida Mountains are beautiful around Shirakwawa-go. Next video is Kanazawa on the west coast of Japan. Look for it to come out on Saturday. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the comment! It may seem that way, but the Japanese are some of the most gracious and welcoming people you'll ever meet, going out of their way to help those of us with a "deer in the headlights" look. Language isn't so much a barrier these days with so many tourists, so go ahead and come along for the ride!
I love your videos. Calm and highly informative. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. Glad you are enjoying them. Next video is of a place very special to us: Maruyama Village.
I like your music accompaniments....nice selections with a Japanese flavor
Oh! And amazing carp in those canals!!

Excellent Narration!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Still very new to all this, so I appreciate the feedback!
@@UnchartedJapanTravel You are a natural!
So enjoyed seeing Takayama again after visiting there several years ago.
Glad it brought back some good memories. Takayama is an excellent alternative to Kyoto. Thanks for watching!
Look at those mountains! Where are you off to next?

Great information - Japan/ Asia is very intimidating to consider - Im sure this will help with future visitors.
