  • Our last stop! we head to over to a traditional onsen town in Yamagata prefecture and experienced an authentic onsen. After a relaxing bath at night and a much-needed rest, we wrapped up this trip by climbing the 1,015 steps of Yamadera! This is the third and last part of a series that Tokyo Creative was able to embark on in this area of Japan!

    Would you have tried the foot onsen? :-) This is the last video of this Tohoku series, after watching all 3 videos, which place would you like to visit most?

      @AkwarT Před 5 lety

      Ginzan. Not a second thought in my mind. It looks gorgeous, the night time makes it seem ethereal in a sense, and a walk up to Yamadera seems like a good way to clear your head as you look around at the view from above.

      Didn't you ask Chris Broad to go with you when you came to Sendai and Yamagata? these places are practically his backyard.

      All of them for sure, but your videos are becoming a bit too advertisementy for me... i think you don't have to convince any of your subscribers to come to japan, thats why we subscribed in the first place!

    SPIRITED AWAY!!! Of course Onsen gives it away and the music used as Emma walks over the path to the waterfall sounds very Ghibli to me. But anime's aside this place looks beautiful and calming even with all those stairs at the end. I hope you guys had a great time and I look forward to more as always.

    At 3:50 that's a shrine not the mine. The mine is further up the foot trail on the left side of the waterfall. There is also a memorial statue to the mines discoverer, a fertility shrine, and graveyard on the same footpath. I love the relaxing vibe of this place and that it beautiful hiking trails the loop into and out of the village.

    • @sampai64
      @sampai64 Před 4 lety +3

      At that time, they must of drank too much wine, as they thought the shrine was a mine.
      Maybe they didn't see the sign.

    Ginzan was so awesome when we were there, in the winter the road leading to it is just 2 walls of snow! Access to a lot of those other areas was blocked by the feet of snow! There was a No-Face Cosplayer outside of the big ryokan in towards the middle handing out gold candy as well!

  • @XSpImmaLion
    @XSpImmaLion Před 5 lety

    Awesome video and series you guys, this is the one onsen town I want to visit on my next trip. xD
    Though I'm hearing it's getting pretty famous and crowded these days, for very good reasons it seems.
    Still... I'm a bit curious about something.
    Lots of people talk about Ghibli and Chihiro when it comes to onsen towns and locations. Perhaps because I've watched it too many times, for something to be like Chihiro, it has to:
    1. you gotta get there through some tortuous mountain road;
    2. have some sort of abandoned matsuri or street with food stalls on entrance;
    3. have a long and large wooden bridge leading to the isolated onsen;
    4. be a traditional kinda building like a pagoda.
    Weird that you mentioned it, but didn't actually shot the perspective that looks the most like it - Notoya Ryokan. For those curious, look up for photos of it.
    I mean, I know this has more to do with every single onsen and ryokan reminding people of Chihiro in general... and that the one in the movie is purely fictional, drawing inspiration from several places, so probably nothing quite like it.
    But this town needs no references... it's magical particularly in winter at night.

    Hey,
    Just coming back on the postcard thing. I've been to Japan 5 times now and every single time I sent my postcards as they are and not in envelopes, they all got to their destinations in Ireland, France and the UK. So I guess I've been lucky. But hey it works.

    • @aibadotcom
      @aibadotcom Před 5 lety

      Did you send the standard rectangle postcards? It's the odd-shaped postcards (Gotochi postcards) that you can't send overseas unless they're in an envelope. But I did send a Gotochi postcard as it is from Hokkaido to a friend in Malaysia and it reached just fine. Guess it's a gamble.
