I’m new to your channel and am blown away by your content. The cinematography, the choice of music, the gentle and quiet observations. It’s so beautiful and calming. I’m catching up on all your Japan videos before your Korea vlogs start. You go off the beaten track to show us so many unique places that aren’t in most vlogs and I really appreciate this! ❤ …. And the secret basement room with the exact replica of Howl’s castle and the dried flowe room that looked like Nausicaa’s basement! ..mind blown
That is a amazing experience! In last month, I also went to Nagano Narai Juku must have been fascinating with its abundance of exotic old Japanese buildings.
Enjoyed your video. Very calming …. Beautiful snow falling softly, the forest, and the Jinjyas. I will stop at some of these sights when I in Oct. I am going to お墓参りin Nagano but I’ve never been there , your video will me make it into an exciting excursion getaway. Thank you..
What a fantastic 2nd part to your wonderful visit, thank you for sharing this beautiful part of Japan, I hope to one day see some of the places you went to for myself. Best wishes
words can't explain how much i loved this vlog. The slow falling snow amidst the cedar trees, the light displays at the castle, your lil olaf, and ofc the howl's cafe. A treat! I really hope i can visit japan someday. Keep posting vlogs
You were visiting such amazing and precious places like this within few days. Watching your videos is very relaxing and even your background music is soothing. Really love your video 😊😊
I adore the little igloos! 😍 and the cedar trees were so surreal! and Cat Station cafe 😍 and all the snacks. I want to see everything 😀 *adding to bucket list*
Amazing video as always! I think the room with dried flowers is somewhat based on Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind - this cafe is definitely on my list now 🥰
you definitely have saved the best thing for last. love the Howl's cafe. it's soooooo real. I'm going to make my partner stop here on our way to Kyoto.
This is one of my favorite videos of your's! It's so very peaceful, calming and dreamy. I love seeing Nagano in winter, and I can really imagine the cold from the snowy scenes of Narai-juku. I have been to Nagano once and visited Togakushi shrine, but we didn't have time to see the snow monkeys. They are so cute! ❤ Thank you for your beautiful videos! I enjoy watching them!
As always a beautiful vlog! 😍 I already had the Monkey Park in my wishlist but I didn’t know about the restaurant with the secret replica of Howl's Moving Castle OMG! Definitely have to visit it!! Is my second favorite movie from Ghibli (first one is Ponyo ❤🥰). Thanks for all the recommendations and the amazing vlogs! 🙌👏
Hi, Sol-san! Is it okay to ask what field of work are you in? Or what's your job? You seem to travel a lot and I'm just amazed. Thank you for giving these wonderful vlogs! ✨
Hi Sol, I just recently found your youtube channel and got hooked up to them immediately! I am now currently binge-watching your videos. They are really awesome! Thank you for taking the time to document, edit, and share your videos with the public. Also, thank you for sharing your camera/video setup, it helped me a lot! I will be waiting for a tutorial vlog showing us how you edit your videos. Hehehe! More power to you! 🤗
I used to live right above Iiyama, in Nozawaonsen, so thanks for bringing back memories and for showing people some of the things they can see in Nagano pref. (and there is still tons more!). There are two shrines at the end of the walk, but one gets borded up in the winter because of the snow and the other one isn't anything grand and must see either, so you didn't miss out. Plus you have to walk uphill (and then downhill) when you go there, so it's challenging and you see a lot of people falling on their asses haha. But when I've visited in the winter, there was a lady doing that hike in office wear and heels (she fell like 5 times but she made it to the end:')). The cedar lined path is absolutely worth it though.
Hi!! It’s such a beautiful video!! I love the scenery and definitely will be visiting them, just wanna ask some tips about how you manage your luggage at the opening video and to enjoy the attractions without being hassle by your luggage? Is there any deposit counter for luggage? Or do you just drop it at the hotel before you go then?
I find it fascinating to learn about the unique experiences that different parts of the world have to offer. After visiting Kyoto, my next destination will definitely be Nagano - this video has convinced me! I'm excited to delve deeper into Japan beyond the bustling cities of Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. 🕺🕺
The Takagushi Shrine was absolutely breath taking , but i felt my feet wil feel tired if walk all the way , it seems like a long route. Wish there something like a E-Scooter to help with the feet so it feet wont' be screaming for help
Hi Sol, I've been very inspired by your Nagano trip! Do you know what's the best way to get from Jigokudani snow monkey park to Kamakura no sato? Thanks for always posting such beautiful content
Your videos are so enjoyables, calming and relaxing, loved every Japan/Korea cities and magical towns. Come to make your vlogs in Argentina! I love you so much 😍🤗💖
Hi this is one of the beautiful Clear Video I’ve seen the Crispiness is awesome watching on my screen if u don’t Mind what kind of camera and lens you are using. Thank you
awesome video ! may i ask which month was your visit? i am thinking the same route and spend few nights at nagano area, is mid of jan or mid of feb better?
Japan's original country name "NIPPON”means "the land under the sun" , but another name is "YAMATO(WA)” , meaning “Peacefully Harmony among People and Nature”. So Japan's name means “the Land under the Sun” and” the Land of "Great Harmony of People and Nature,” The history of Japan is very old, about 2,000 years since the Emperor's reign, but humans began to live in villages and communities in this island nation about 14,000 years ago, during “the JOMON pottery” culture. (That's 30,000 years ago, if you count the Neolithic period.) Surrounded on all sides by the sea and geographically isolated from the Eurasian continent in the Pacific Ocean, this island nation has a warm and humid climate and is blessed with abundant underground clear water resources, diverse vegetation, and fishery resources. For this reason, people have lived here for tens of thousands of years, enjoying nature and living in peace with it. However, while the natural environment of this island nation is rich, it is also harsh, with both light and dark sides. Since ancient times, the people of this land have lived in peace by respecting human harmony and working together as a group, and have shared and enjoyed the blessings of nature by overcoming many harsh and severe natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and typhoons by sharing wisdom and working together as a group. This is because this island nation has a harsh natural environment that cannot be overcome by the power of one individual. The ancient Japanese name of the country, "YAMATO (DAI-WA)" or "WA" (Great Harmony of People and Nature) represents the desire and reality of people trying to survive in the unique natural environment of an island nation, which is different from the dry and stable land of the Eurasian continent. And it is in this ancient Japanese country name that the essence of Japanese culture and the source and secret of the emergence of a unique Japanese culture different from the cultures of other Asian countries on the continent are hidden.
Hi! I'm planning a trip to Nagano in Feb and was watching your video on winter in Nagano. Wondering how you travelled from the snow monkey park to the igloo restaurant? Did you have to go down to Nagano via bus then take the train up to iiyama? Thanks!
Cozy mood always!:) May I ask your camera or phone with shoot vlog? I'm using Iphone11 but there are so much lights out(ghost) in night time.. thank you Sol!
Hi :) thank you for sharing? One question, did u go to the monkeys and kamakura igloo on the same day? If yes, where did you take the train? Thank you so much!😊

Hi. How many days did you spend in Japan?
Filmed with camera or mobile phone? great video!
I swear Japan is one of those places where you can visit all year long at all seasons and still have a unique way to experience it.
I’m new to your channel and am blown away by your content. The cinematography, the choice of music, the gentle and quiet observations. It’s so beautiful and calming.

And the secret basement room with the exact replica of Howl’s castle and the dried flowe room that looked like Nausicaa’s basement! ..mind blown
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying them! The cafe was actually the highlight of the trip! 😍
That is a amazing experience! In last month, I also went to Nagano Narai Juku must have been fascinating with its abundance of exotic old Japanese buildings.
The dried flower room in the basement is also a ghibli reference- from Nausicaä of the valley of the wind 🥺💘
Omg you’re right! 😮I haven’t watched that movie in agers
I miss living in Japan so it's nice watching your travel videos!
Thanks for watching!! I moved back to Australia once so I totally know that feeling of missing Japan! 💕
i super love peaceful vlogs like this! no talking and just straight to point 🤍 not really a fan of those vloggers who talk too much 🤣🥴🤭
Every time I go to Nagano, I love going to Yudanaka to visit the snow monkey park and stay at Shibu Onsen. Thanks for sharing
How lovely💛One of my favorite countries I hope to visit next year🛬
