  • Today we are wandering through a moss-filled temple in the Japanese countryside of Ishikawa. Quite possibly one of the most beautiful temple grounds that the country of Japan has to offer. Today, we explore the beautiful grounds of the Natadera Temple.

    Concerning the cave tunnel, I love when a trail goes through places like that. In Pennsylvania, I was on a trail that had stairs and some tunnels that were etched out of the gigantic rocks and boulders in the area. It’s a lot of fun.

    That slot carved into the rock was amazing, such a perfect wabi-sabi portal. So insane that nobody is there and you have it all to yourself. The red walkway is insanely gorgeous, I’d totally spend all day right there. It’s not weird to be taken back by the beauty of one individual tree. Don’t miss the trees from the forest

    I'm always thrilled about how "casual" japanese gardens look, while actually being so meticulously groomed without it being immediately noticable - because they emphasize the natural beauty in the first place. The beauty of the naturally looking gardens is so much more pleasing to the eye vs. the over-groomed european style parks and gardens. So much to discover. I recently watched a documentary about Shunmyo Masuno - very, very interesting.

    I've recently discovered your blog so I've been vicariously walking with you through the various sights of Japan. I'm mainly interested in the traditional villages, temples with splendid cedars and variegated moss. Lots of ancient "Mother" trees whose roots as well as the vast underground fungal network connecting them to their seedlings and saplings as well as the rest of the forests. You were amazed in one of your videos about a sapling growing out of an old stump, which actually is a nurse log or mother tree. Anyway, I loved the hidden cavern behind the temple in this video, the statues, ponds with koi, and hearing about how pigeons don't like red so temples had red to them to discourage them. Japan is so beautiful and exquisite like a haiku poem in the making everywhere you look. I look forward to more of your walks through Japan. Jenny from Seattle. p.s. We used to walk with a stick held vertically in front of us in Texas because of the enormous yellow and black Garden spiders.

This was my favourite temple that we visited it was so visually stunning and peaceful. I hardly see any publicity on Ishikawa apart from Kanazawa, this has made my year I feel like I’m reliving my holiday. Thank you so much for this Norm!

Felt the need to comment as you walk and get excited for the littlest things just like me and my daughters. I was really admiring two oaks we came across a week or so ago, because they were just so picture perfect. And were extremely pleased about a new to us beetle (mint beetle). So just wanted to say thanks for giving me a walk exactly as I like. 😊
