  • We took an unforgettable trip to Nagano, seeing a temple we absolutely love (Zenkou-ji, with it's super dark enlightenment tunnel!) and visiting Togakushi Shrine in the deep snow! We show a lot of the trip up to Togakushi, the bus journey with Alpico Highway Express Bus, the Tourist Information Centre, and the cedar tree corridor, ending with a few tips for travelling to Nagano! Thanks for watching!!!

    I really don't understand why you don't have more subs. Your videos are well put together, informative and just a great watch. Me and the missus have been going through your Japan videos (started off with the Disney ones) and I think you have convinced her (even more than myself) to actually look in to going to Japan (after 2020 ends haha).
    Keep up the good work. Stay safe!

    This is an interesting video on Nagano. I was just given a project with the Nagano Prefecture Tourism Agency to produce on official guide for them so searched through YT and FB to see what other people have done and came across your guide.
    I like watching other content creators materials to see what they've done and to draw inspiration from the videos so that I can storyboard it and present it prior to shooting.
    I am happy you're safe and well throughout this time and I hope to you continue to make great guides from 2021 and beyond!

    Gosh! Your day trip and hike looks so dreamy! Spectacular footage of the gorgeous snow! I visited Nagano on a solo day trip from Hakuba and it truly captured my heart 💕 thank you for reminding me, hopefully I can explore the more adventurous trails outside of Nagano sometime soon! 😃 And please keep sharing, your vlogs are so detailed and informative (a breath of fresh air on this platform) thank you!

    I went to Togakushi shrines last September. The best part is the walk through the forest, with those huge trees. The upper shrine is nothing to write home about, it's very small, and I just remember the very long queue to get my goshuin. In Nagano station I had (twice in two days) the best chilled soba noodles, it's a place called "Shinshu soba no Kusabue MIDORI", you can see through a window the guy preparing noodles, from the dough to the final product

    I only stopped in Nagano briefly on my way to Shibu Onsen. I'll have to explore the city more next time. That said, the train towards Shibu Onsen and the snow monkeys is so cool! The panoramic windows at the front/back of the train are great and its super retro.

    I love Nagano prefecture too!
    if you want to explore countryside of japan, Nagano will be perfect!
    beautiful nature, mountains, rivers, lakes, traditional shirines, temples, houses ,histories, myths.
    and you also enjoy them in each season.
    seasons in Nagano are very impressive.
    spring for flowers and cherry blossoms, summer for green, autumn for autumn leaves, winter for snow!
    and not so faraway from Tokyo if you use Shinkansen.
    It is impossible to get bored in Nagano!

    • @thisNatasha
      @thisNatasha  4 года назад +1

    戸隠は、(と・がくし)と読み(よみ)、
    戸(と)はdoorの意、がくしは、かくし(隠し) hidenの意味です。戸で隠すとか、隠されたかの意味でしょう。
    "it's hiden " なら?何を❓
    ナターシャさんなら日本語わかるからね、理解(りかい)できるよね❣️
    と+かくし→ と"が"くし
    のように日本語は2つの単語(たんご word)がつづくと、後の言葉(seconds word)の音(おと sound)がにごります。
    にこり→濁音(だくおん)になります。
    二重+橋= にじゅう(double)+はし→にじゅう"ばし"、
    金沢= かね+さわ→かな"ざわ"
