I appreciate that you chose less common destinations (or coupled them with more famous ones). Of course, there is nothing wrong with mentioning places like Inuyama, Ise, Okazaki, etc. It makes a lot of sense and is helpful for new travelers to the region, but those places are so common and easy to find on one's own. The destinations featured here go off the radar a bit, so even travelers who are already familiar with the area may get some new ideas.
Love that you guys are still getting out there and keeping the Wanderlust alive. Doing the Kumano Kodo has been on the list of must do's for a long time...you've just inspired me to add Ontake :) Love that you guys have been bringing so much attention to Nagoya, it really is an awesome place to start/finish your adventures in Japan. Can't wait for this to end and for travel to resume...till then saving the vacation days and money for more adventures in Japan.
You've shown us some really epic shots this time! Are you related to the infant Sam by the way? Also, you have a perfect narration voice. Like a dad reading a goodnight story for his children!
Hello Arriving 2021 Jan 1st, I am here to tell you about the future because we have a lot of thing coming 2021, This is a new year and a great call for celebration with family and dear ones. Start the new year holding on to the old memories with a new spirit and hope. Happy new year! This year may finally realize that real fun in life comes from real people, not from the virtual ones. Have a great year!
As far as I'm aware, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but 伊邪那美命 (izanami-no-mikoto) is one of the two gods (along with 伊邪那岐命 - izanagi-no-mikoto) that was said to have created Japan, not the world.
I would think Japan but only guessing but I wanted to comment : thanks for the kanji characters and how it's read as I like to practice kanji here and there. 👍
I'm missing a bit the soul in your video compared to the other current/former staff writers. You need to be a bit more personal, talk to the camera while on the trip. This feels like it could have just been stock fotage instead (I know it's not). Also you could leave a bit more time to talk and show the places, 7 minutes is to short for the amount of places you covered, everything feels a bit rushed.
01:05 Never ever put your lips to the ladle when you are purifying yourself at a chozuya. Instead pour water in your hand and rinse your mouth with that. :) Touching it with your lips is a huge no no, because it is unsanitary and seen as rude.
I assumed that it was a ladle for drinking water at a fountain or source rather than a ladle for purification at a chozuya. Let me check with the team and start the new year with a lesson about basic shrine and temple etiquette in case my assumption was wrong.
Just got the confirmation from the staff member that the ladle was for drinking water at a spring where drinking directly from the ladle is perfectly okay.

Wow! I want to try those trails. Thank you, Japan guide, you're constantly being helpful. I went to Takayama last year, but only for a day.
Very good idea of introducing and selecting three areas to visit.👍👏
Fall in love with Japan! Thanks Japan-Guide, you made it easier.
Amazing city Nagoya 🥰🌿
Amazing video... Love from India... Always waiting for your new videos!
Beautiful.. heavenly places
Thank you for the nice video
Nagoya’s pretty cool I’ve heard, my favourite band Coldrain come from there (Japanese post-hardcore/‘loud rock’ band, one of the big ones)
Beautiful.
Love from nepal 🇳🇵❤️ 🎌
Beautiful

I’ll need to go back to Nagoya someone. We used it as a base to go out to the Kiso Valley.

So it just snowed in Central Japan?
I've read mt. Ontake has 15cm of snow already!
I wonder if there is danger involved in hiking in the forest like bears or japanese hornets
C'mon Japan how good can you be.
And how do we ge there? tourist people like us are not allowed to visit japan during pandemic
Summimasen
