Do you want to see more of Japan’s countryside and visit some hidden treasures? We explored the area around Hakuba valley and did a daytrip to Matsumoto Castle, one of the national treasures of Japan. Spontaneously, we decided to visit the old Japanese village Narai-Juku, an old post town on the Nakasendo trail connecting Kyoto and Tokyo. Both locations are perfect to learn something about Japanese history and are very picturesque. We loved this historic excursion around Japan’s countryside! Did you?

  2. Hi guys! It’s fun to see the video behind the instagram pictures! Do you know each ski station in Japan has the longest snow season? I loved how you got to take this trip so close to sakura season, it would be amazing to travel and get the chance to experience both! 🇧🇷

  3. Hello from Jakarta, I really love your video, may I know at 05.02 is it far from narai juku station? Is it within walking distance? Tku
