solo summer trip to gifu & nagano ๐ seishun 18 pass, hiking japan alps, happo pond, hakuba
for my last week of my exchange semester in kyoto, japan, i decided to go on a solo summer trip to various places using the seishun 18 kippu. i spent half of my week looking out train windows, but i would say that the journey itself was a destination!
on the first 2 days of my trip, i went to hakuba in nagano prefecture to hike up to happo pond. i stopped over a postal town called nakatsugawa-juku on my way there. for next days, i visited tokyo and nearby cities, which youโll see in my next videos!
i find it hard to capture my experiences travelling, so i filmed lots of videos to edit into little films. this is for my family and friends, who i wish were with me in those beautiful places. this is also for you, dear friend, so i hope you enjoy! โ๏ธ
