ww! … Meiji is my most cherished era so I can't stand Bakufu and samurai (the only exceptions are Yamamoto Yae and Nakano Takeko) … also, in this region are Okiagari-koboshi if you like toys … actually, I think it is really easy to escape tourists, just go to any museum featuring Western art (^_^) …
Great job with this video! Looks like an interesting place. I’ll need to add Aizuwakamatsu to a future trip to Japan for sure.
A very nice tour video. Aizuwakamatsu is a postal town that I'd like to visit. It appears that there is a lot to do there. So I will put it on my ever expanding list of places in Japan that I'll have to go. Off to check out the partial solar eclipse. How many bottles of sake did you take to help you remember (maybe) your trip to this scenic town?
Very cool. Have never been.
❤❤❤
Had to google this one, never heard of it before. Must have a red cow!
Well done, side trips like this I we plan into my next visit to Japan.
Thanks for introducing me to this area 🎉 I love the idea of renting a bike here Ninja 🐒
Another ' best kept secret' of Japan is Shikoku and the multiple small islands off Takamatsu i the Seto Inland Sea. We were there, by sheer accident of timing, during the Triennial Art Festival and it was still very quiet, with almost no foreign tourists.
That looks awesome! ♥️
Taking your recommendation Nathan, it’s my first trip to Japan next week staying in the ueno area 👌 only nervous about the train system 😂
This place looks so historic and comfy.But hearing the crickets singing ,its sound hot and the height of summer.The legend of the carp is amazing…i hope one day all carp become lucky dragons!I would make both of those painted cow shaped items..especially the cow bell.
Thank you, this is the stuff I wanna see! Will be there in two weeks and the plan is to have no plan 😀 I want to do day trips all over the country.
Can someone suggest some places around Kyoto/Tokyo which are not that cold in February and beautiful just to enjoy the landscape/city or the onsens? 😢 i have around 2 week time
Another excellent video , thanks for posting . ❤
