    I fought a samurai on top Mount Fugi quiet a few times until I won the fight and than I buried him as his request somewhere on top Mount Fugi.

    I feel like in previous life (if that is real) I was a Japanese person. I just love the history and culture. Oh yeah the real Japanese are Ainu. Most are immigrants from all corners of Asia but still like the culture they created in Japan. Japan is in my heart although I'm not Japanese. ❤

    Of all developed countries, Japan has the worst geographical environment, constantly facing the risk of earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.I enjoy traveling to Japan, but I definitely won't be settling there long-term.

    I’m so glad I discovered this channel. And you, covering my favorite country? Immaculate.
    Thank you!

    Are you serious?? The first years you pointed to on your graph were the last 2 years of WWII! As a student of history it's hard to accept anything you say after you did that.

    Oh man. Fairly new Puna, HI resident who recently visited some places mentioned here. Shimabara, Sakurajima, and is the next shoutout going to be Osorezan?? If so that’s wild stuff, was just there in October . A somewhat difficult to get to pocket of the country, but probably one of, if not my favorite part of Japan I’ve been to. Looking forward to the next one.
