Taking a RANDOM train to a RANDOM City in Japan (Joetsu City Vlog)

Taking trains in Japan is how I destress! Anyway, let’s explore Niigata, Japan and see the Kasugayama Castle Ruins and the Takada Castle Site Park. Let’s hope I don’t get lost.

Nagano to Naoetsu 直江津 00:00-02:57

According to Josh Furr on Google Maps, from Naoetsu Station, “numerous temples and attractions can be accessed. The Umigatarai Aquarium and Naoetsu Beach are about 15 minutes on foot, while Kota Shrine and Gochi Kokubunji can be reached in about 30 minutes from the station. The surrounding restaurants provide delicious and traditional Joetsu cuisine such as Suru Ten and the newly developed White Yakisoba, as well as some of the best sushi in town.”

Joetsu City 02:57-05:06

Joetsu was once home to Uesugi Kenshin, one of Japan’s most powerful feudal lords.

This was once the fortress of Uesugi Kenshin, a powerful 16th-century feudal lord renowned for his fearsome skills in the martial arts. You can visit Uesugi’s grave in Rinsen-ji Temple.

Located 15 minutes away from Mt. Kasuga is Takada Castle Site Park. A large number of visitors flock here every year to see 4,000 cherry blossoms bloom under magical pink and purple lights from early to mid-April.

Solo Travel | National Parks | Pride

We all have a purpose for being here. I feel mine is to travel, share my story, and create content that inspires. I hope you are ready for me to take the world.

My channel is how I express my story. It features my coming out and how I accepted the label Mormon and Gay. It also features my 4,000-mile-long National Park Roadtrip Series.

Coming out gave me the confidence to do things like my National Park Road trip. Not every turn in my journey has been a success. There were plenty of bumps along the way, but I am learning how to overcome self-doubt and insecurities that were rooted in a lifetime of fear.

***Watch my solo national park road trip series. As my college entered another semester online, I decided to stop watching life pass by, so I left home without housing or a job to travel all across National Parks in the Western US.

***Watch my coming out story!! And how it changed my outlook on life.
