    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

    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.

Is there any deposit counter for luggage? Or do you just drop it at the hotel before you go then?

    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.
