    You just earned yourself a sub from me. Great video. Appreciated the history lesson, too. A calm moment in an ever increasing crazy world for me…

    I loved your commentary, followed along by your footage of the town. It was fun to see the scenery as I followed the story of the Korean potter who ran away to Kyoto. Great song as the end also~! 🤓

    It's peaceful! I always dream of spending some time in one of those old and tranquil villages.
    At the same time, as a Korean, I feel so sad, imagining that many Koreans were kidnapped and forced to spend their whole life, missing their home.

    Great presentation of a beautiful village. Thanks for the interesting history also. I always marvel at how clean and neat these villages are. No garbage or weeds to be seen.

    You need to travel more within Australia if you think it is "arid and scrubbie". Visit the rainforests in Victoria, the Blue Mountains in New South Wales and the lush tropical forests of Northern Queensland. All around Australia you can find beautiful green environments. Explore your own country and appreciate it's beauty.

    正確にこの土地の歴史を把握してしゃべっとるとは、とても思えない。　間違った歴史をしゃべって、多くの外国人に誤解を与える行為は許さんれとお思うがね！！！　SamuraiVillageと云っとるけれど、ここは、そうじゃなくて、伊万里焼の陶器の町なのに、変な表現をしとる事自体、大間違い！　This village is’t　　　　Samurai　Village,　this village is very famouse for its making pottery of Imari (伊万里焼）.

    I live in the Italian Dolomite mountains and the similarities of old building construction and small village roads, bridges and everything is astonishing! …beautiful!!!

    spent many years as a kid in Japan and never saw a place that was not beautiful and peacefull, more so in the mountain regions than anywhere else.

    The graves of koreans are ancient, but the flowers that were there were fresh.
    Thank you all Okawachiyama residents.
