  • ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
    There are many famous tourist spots in Japan.
    However, there are many less popular, but good places other than the usual famous tourist spots.
    These places are usually visited by people from around Japan and many tourists outside of the country don’t really know about them.
    Let’s go on a trip to a place in Japan that you have probably never heard of before.
    The destinations of this trip are located within Nagano Prefecture. Norikura Kogen, Shirahone Onsen and Narai-juku.

    Hello Aki, I think you deserve a gold medal for services rendered to the Japanese Tourist Board! LOL. You are showing me parts of Japan, I had never imagined, and it is so beautiful. Watching your videos is a form of meditation, it is so calming. But, now I have become addicted to watching them, it has become my daily 'fix' between chores, needless to say, not many chores are being accomplished, even though you are such a good influence.! I am making a concerted effort to improve my habits and live a balanced life like you. Keep up the good work! Yours is by far my most favourite CZcams channel. You are amazing! Your parents must be very proud to have a son like you. I just bought a Sushi kit, with instructions for my daughter, and lots of Matcha for me, it has anti-cancer properties, which along with healthy diet, and increased exercise, I am sure will help lower recurrence risk.
    Osaka and Welwyn Garden City in England are Sister Cities, which is why my town was gifted an avenue of cherry blossom trees from the people of Japan. I would love to see more Japanese gardens and koi fish ponds if you can spare the time to film them.

    Thank you for sharing your life with us people. The help you give to us really makes a huge difference i our lives. Gentle Samurai, things will get better. Try to write a liitle or even just read when you feel ready. You're a very strong & brave person. You're more than the nasty words used against you. Sometimes life is too lonely if we do not remind ourselves that even people who don't know us well can care about us. Hard to remember sometimes when upsetting things happen.
