Hiking Japan's Most Legendary Trail | The NAKASENDO 

Very well done video! Beautifully filmed!

Thank you so much for taking us on your Nakasendo Trail Experience. Almos felt like I was on the trail with you. I'm interested in doing the trip on the future. Beautifully put together video. Would make a beautiful TV programme. We have some similar Walking Trail TV programmes here in Ireland which really help to educate people about what they can experience in Irelan.

fantastic

Stunning, well documented and beautifully edited video. Love every bit of it especially the music choices that put so much emotions into, and the sunlight breaking through the trees at 25.50 is breathtaking. Thank you.

i love this trail. Did it in 2020 with my 2 year old twins, just before covid hit. Back then it was really quiet and it felt like we were the only ones doing it at that time. I wish to go back and do a longer trail walk.

What a experience!

beautifully documented. bucket-list hike

What a brilliant cinematography my friend! Absolutely stunning work, you narrated this so professionally!!

I LOVE Japan!

Thanks for this!

what a wonderfully put together video. great videographer, edit and pacing. im equally impressed by the speed of you posting it as im fully aware how long putting together a vid like this takes. you seem to have done the trail a week or so after me and im still in the editing stage of my vid lol. what a wonderful place :)

This is your best video yet! Loved everything about it, you really brought out the beauty of Japan.

Jun, you never disappoint with your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your magnificent travels. Excellent job 👍👍! Godspeed good woman.

Jun, thank you for your Nakasendo Trail Video, it was both a beautiful video as well as well edited. The views and vistas are amazing. I wish I could do such trip, but been old and wheelchair bound makes it impossible. I have seen many video done about Nakasendo, but yours so far is the best for me. You managed you capture the "Spirit" of the trail; for that.....I am very grateful. Perhaps in my next life I might have the priviledge to do the trail. Your gift is precious, so my girft to you is my subscription to your charming channel and a Big thumbs up.

Another beautiful piece of videography Jun. So entertaining and , as ever, you make me very hungry and tired after a long hike through this beautiful country. It’s difficult to believe that the soldiers of Japan were so cruel. To see such lovely people is so wonderful. Have a lovely Christmas. Kind regards Alan

Amizing video... Love it!!!

Beautiful 👍👍

Jun, that is such a beautiful trail. I have never thought about going to Japan, but after you sharing your video it has inspired me to look into walking the trail. I love the autumn leaves, I live in the wet tropics of Australia and we don’t get the four seasons, it is more like Malaysia where you live. Thank you for making the video and sharing. ❤️🌸🌺 Nola 😊

Hello, love your video 😍 a realistic view into the trail. Im planning to hike this trail in April! May I know if the small bells on your bags are bear bells as well?:) is it necessary and where could I get them?:)

Greetings from David Kampar. The wooden "clogs" the 3 of you wore at the Ryokan, is called GETA. It is purely made of wood and is quite difficult to wear and walk,initially. Hope you enjoyed them,despite the initial uneasiness.

Beautiful! Can I ask, what time of the year did you film that video? I didn't catch it in the video. Thanks!

Hi Jun, Really great video! May I know the time & month you did this trip? Is this in October or November? The Autumn colors are really beautiful.

Even as time passes and the surface of the city changes, nothing remains the same in terms of what lies at the root of Japan's unique culture. The common root of the originality of Japanese culture is the uniqueness of its geopolitical isolated location and the influence of its special natural environment. Even if culture and knowledge are imported from abroad, it is not dominated by them, but rather, after a certain period of time, it is able to select and discard the content, integrate it with its own culture, make repeated improvements to fit its environment, and eventually create its own new style. This is due to the influence of Japan's unique natural environment, which is both rich and harsh, and is very different from the natural environment on the continent. Japan's original country name "NIPPON" means "the country under the sun," but its other name is "YAMATO (WA, DaiWa)," which means "peaceful harmony between people and nature.　In other words, the name of Japan is "the country under the sun," meaning the country of "great harmony between people and nature. The history of Japan is very old, about 2,000 years since the reign of the Emperor, but it was during the "Jomon Pottery" culture about 14,000 years ago that humans began to form villages and communities and live in this island nation. (It was about 30,000 years ago if the Neolithic Age is included.) Surrounded on all sides by the sea and geographically isolated from the Eurasian continent in the Pacific Ocean, this island nation has a warm and humid climate, and because it is a volcanic island, it is blessed with abundant underground clear water resources, diverse vegetation, and fishery resources. For this reason, people have lived here for tens of thousands of years, enjoying the abundant nature and living in peace with nature. However, while the natural environment of this island nation is rich, it is also harsh and has both light and dark sides. Since ancient times, the people of this land have respected human harmony and have lived in peace by working together as a group. They have shared and enjoyed the blessings of nature by pooling their wisdom and collectively overcoming numerous severe and harsh natural disasters, such as frequent volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami, summer typhoons, and heavy snowfall in winter. This is because this island nation has a harsh natural environment that cannot be overcome by a single person. Individual power is too weak to face the onslaught of nature, which can destroy the wealth we have built overnight. Therefore, many people should suppress their egos, dislike confrontation, and work together to create a livable environment and maintain cleanliness, and then work together to prevent disasters before they occur and to restore the environment after they have occurred. This is the most wise, efficient, and rational way to maintain peace and harmony in each other's lives, rather than to create more chaos by insisting on each other's selfishness, which has given rise to Japan's unique teachings, culture, and behavior. The ancient name of Japan, "YAMATO" or "WA" (peaceful harmony between people and nature), represents the wishes and reality of the people who have been trying to survive in the rich and harsh natural environment unique to island countries, which is different from the dry and stable land of the Eurasian continent. And it is in this ancient Japanese country name "WA YAMATO" that the essence of Japanese culture, the origin and secret of its unique culture, which is very different from the cultures of other Asian countries on the continent, is hidden.

Macam NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Good job Jun Mizaki 😂

Great colors, which camera are you using for this video?

could you kindly share a bit more on how did you plan this hike? Were there permits required, etc. and would this be doable for a solo female?

I'm a bit surprised that the restaurants close at 4pm.
