Yo. this is epic . 🤓
Wondering why yours, is the only content on that region. Congratulations!
Sadly, I don’t know how to drive😅
But as somebody already said; this is epic!
wonderful
Hi @japan-guide, wIll this area be great to travel during the winter season?
Great video! Thank you for this! I hope you continue to cover the less explored, off-the-beaten-path destinations in Japan!
Very enjoyable video, Matt. Thanks so much 🙏
It is a meticulously-designed video! Well done!
Wow! What a gorgeous video! Thank you very much
Peace from Tochigi
Love it. I went there back in 2015 thanks to the guidance of your website! Even back then it was so easy to navigate to Osorezan by public transport. I was there in May just before the Golden week so it was pretty busy place. The train ride was so rewarding as the fields were golden with canola flowers. Also the monks were so welcoming and spoke perfect English! Highly recomend but only for adults. Don't bring any children there. It's very sacred place. I'm planning to stay overnight there again in near future for sure.
How far apart is Sai from Hotokegaura? If one takes the sightseeing cruise having parked at Sai, is it possible to walk back to it?
Finally after 3 weeks! Great content as always guys. My wishlist: Hakata/Fukuoka area 🙏
A new page on the website, dedicated to Hotokegaura, would be really appreciated! Especially with directions and links to sightseeing boat tours!
Can’t wait to visit the Tohoku region. Thanks for the video!
Very cool, Ihope to make video's like this!
You're mispronouncing the names of places. Just sayin'.
You can stay the night at Osorezan at the temple. Amazing experience. I hope I get the chance to go back again. One of my most favourite places in Japan.
Your videos and narattion make me fall in love with Japan, everytime I see them…
