AKITA – A Deep Dive into Japanese Folklore (Namahage Sedo Festival, Nyuto Onsen, Mount Moriyoshi…)

Hi everyone, it’s been a while… This winter we visited the prefecture of Akita, especially to attend the Namahage Sedo Festival and learn more about the Namahage folklore. We also spent a delightful night in Nyuto Onsen which is a famous hot spring village where we enjoyed a yukimiburo (that can be translated as snow watching hot spring bath) and visited a bunch of interesting places along the way. Thx for watching and see you in the next one!
