which part of Japan should I explore next?
Saga-ken is most underrated!
if you are in gifu next time explore the secret forbidden pyramids there. Go hiking. Japan has so many secret hidden pyramids even in tokyo.
When was that?
i think you should explore why Japanese woman do not make enough babies and the climb down of Japan Populations is in their hands! what is the factor?
I just found your channel! I absolutely love your videos. I wish I could visit Japan.
