    Directions: Walk from the north toward Lake Towada in the south, then rent a bike at the JR Nenokuchi Bus Station for 1,000 yen and bicycle back to the Oirase Keiryukan at the north, where you can leave the bicycle.

    Found your channel via Sharla. Love the nature take on Japan! Wondering if you will feature any kayaking or canyoning? Seeing this creek got me thinking about my dream of travelling to Japan to include those activities. Of course will be perfectly delighted to follow you as you hike and forage your way through the countryside!

    • @GoNorthJapan
      @GoNorthJapan  4 года назад

      Thank you! I am rather really interested in trying out canyoning! (I used to paddle and portage a bit when I was living in the States, but that was a long time ago.. I'd love to try again.) Hopefully this coming summer! There are some great "waterfall climbing" and canyoning locations and some groups that do it. I'll see about joining them!

    • @GoNorthJapan
      @GoNorthJapan  4 года назад +1

      They are meant to remain in the moss balls, which means they are like bonsai and remain small. Of course you could free it and plant it somewhere if you wanted.

      In terms of when to visit northern Japan.... depends on what you want to see and do. I could come up with arguments for any season, really. Just not in between times like right now... when the leaves have mostly fallen but it hasn't started snowing yet.

    do you already have video on when the mosquitoes are the most bothersome or how to avoid them or which bug repellent to use?

    • @GoNorthJapan
      @GoNorthJapan  4 года назад +1

      To be honest mosquitoes aren't really that bad up here in northern Japan most of the time, especially when you're moving. I don't even own mosquito repellent. Just once, in the Aomori Shirakami Sanchi National Park they were really bad and I ended up cutting my visit short and just running away, literally.
      But I would say the same common sense I grew up with in Wisconsin applies here. Cover up, wear repellent (DEET stuff if you're worried) otherwise something natural perhaps.
