Glowing Sunset, Heavy Rain, and Rolling Thunder on Nakasendo | Magome-juku, Japan 4K Walk

Magome-juku is a small post town on the Nakasendo, an Edo period walking highway connecting Kyoto and Tokyo, with a number of these small post towns along the way offering road-weary travelers room, board, and entertainment. I arrived just before sunset with a plan to walk the historic road lined with traditional buildings and water flowing through canals. I also thought it would be a good idea to check in on the adjacent rice fields in their summer glory. As I did, I noticed a beautiful glow in the sky, and some impressive dark clouds in the near-distance. Moments later the sky opened up and a heavy rain began to fall, cascading off the buildings, flowing down the walking path, and into the canals on either side. Walking up through the village lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as the rain became intense at times. I hope you enjoy the walk and the atmosphere of this beautiful post town in the natural elements.

  1. Such a beautiful country, I bless Japan's very existence. How sadder and even more boring the world would have been without Japan.

  5. The old town is so picturesque. When thereโ€™s still daylight, exploring it is more enjoyable thanks to visibility. I like the old architecture and the long cobblestone path. When itโ€™s rainy and dark, the path and house fronts are only lit by lanterns and light coming through windows. The townโ€™s atmosphere makes me think of a movie set, and that thought makes me smile. Thank you for the video.

  6. So wonderful to see these lovely houses and shopsโ€ฆ mymy thank you you must have got very wet.๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜˜
