Noted this place for future. The rain in the 2 city is very nice. very quiet
Wonderful video. It's been 31 years since my brief visit to a Japanese village, during an eight hour layover at Narita returning to San Francisco from Guam. I loved Japan, the people there were so incredible and humble. This village is amazing, and the rain and clouds add to its mystique.
I wish I knew what the background music performer was, and whether there is a youtube link for it. It adds to your videos production values. The fact that both of you acted as guides also makes your video excellent.
I met my wife in a Unesco world heritage site, she is now a US citizen, and our daughter is 23 today, 28 years after the first date my wife and I had (she was born five years to the day of our first date, amazing odds).
World heritage sites, and those like you who share them, are to be treasured architecturally, and culturally, or for their scenery.
