King Kai's up in the Sookie
[Music]
hello everybody welcome to take your
creative play I am your host Emma and
today I'm here with Natasha the lady
herself and we are in come on Oh heart
are like a bat come on come on oh yeah
yeah so we just got to come on OC
station after travelling a little bit
from Tokyo we caught two trains and now
we're in kimono she pretty relatively
easy journey and we're here to look at a
lot of nature things because it's a
little bit out in the countryside
there's a lot to look at and there's 13
world heritage spots in the area which
is crazy but we're only going to five
today yeah just because close together
kind of easy so we're gonna be taking a
car today but there are other modes of
transportation there's buses and taxis
and if you want any more information
about that and you come here there's an
information spot directly across from
the station so really easy also this
video is in collaboration with kimono
city so thank you so much for
collaborating with this video we really
appreciate it we don't have some fun
yeah we get to enjoy a kimono for the
first time ever I've never been here
before I think not many people know
about this place which is great because
we want to explore and see what we can
actually see here yeah so come on let's
go let's go ah
[Music]
we are at at the sheikah beach which is
so beautiful it's got really nice white
sand beautiful clear water who's super
super nice so actually the Ministry of
the Environment in Japan lists the top
100 beaches in Japan and this is one of
them we have one of the top I can see
why do it yeah it's like they're nice so
beautiful the ocean and the water is so
blue the sky is so blue today so I like
you know everything just looks so it's
really nice and actually 30,000 people
every year come here to to enjoy it in
the summer but the best thing is it's so
clean yeah like I don't know about you
guys but a lot of other beaches in Japan
Oh quite dark and also there's cleaned
for the on season but for the off season
they're kind of just just left to be so
sometimes trash piles up but this place
is so clean I guess it just is nice and
refreshing because yeah I don't think
you could find a beach like this near
Tokyo it's impossible at the end of
October they also have a competition for
stand-up paddleboards so there's a bunch
people who come here and you'll see
everybody paddleboarding in the water
you can do some water spots yeah things
like kayaking you could probably do some
jet skiing on the waters yeah yeah and
they have some like yachts like some
guys probably do some fancy stuff there
it's super nice I wish we can go
swimming but it's kind of cold today I
mean good yeah okay here I go
what if I did I was going to say the
water is so good and so beautiful that
it matches a little bit of like the blue
specks in Emma's eyes so romantic thank
you all right
yeah I want to talk about how we got
here so it was five hours from Tokyo so
two hours to Nagoya and then change and
then one train that took three hours to
get here seems like a long time it is
but it is it is but there's also more to
do around this area a lot of people go
to is said Ginga it says shrine there's
only an extra two hour drive to come on
oshi city so people do that quite often
so you know if you are looking to come
to this place that might seem a little
far from Tokyo there's just an extra
stop if you're going there's a lot of
things to do around here
and also like people take the four-hour
she can Center Hiroshima all the time so
it's not actually that could be pretty
normal world or was a bumpy
[Music]
so right now we're at Hana not uiapp it
is the oldest shrine in all of Japan
that's pretty old that's pretty
impressive seriously
I read a lot of strains this is the
oldest this train is dedicated to this
rock this particular alright the rope
right here this giant rock it is one
rock and then twice a year in February
and October there's a big festival
that's held where they attach a rope up
there and take it all the way down to
the ocean it's 170 meters long and
there's also some smaller ropes attached
that there that represent the seven gods
as the god of trees the ocean and wind
and then there's grass and fire then
earth and water
0:07 got seven gods also this rock is
alongside the beach of a shitty dimmi
Hama and it's super nice down there as
well so this place is actually pretty
popular with locals or like Japanese
people because my before I came to
Kumano Kodo I actually asked some people
like oh what's good what's what's there
to see
and everyone mentioned this particular
shrine so I guess if you haven't seen it
yet then it's probably well known enough
for you to check it out I mean it was
kind of funny before we were like where
is it and they're like it's right there
okay
[Music]
so actually right next to the shrine is
a Mitchie not a key or a place press it
up the pitstop
yeah that's the sort of it you know
gears if it's a pit stop so they sell
lots of omiyage air like souvenirs and
snacks so we got ourselves a snack we
got quad I my mitarashi dango kadai my
is like black rice I guess see soy sweet
soy meat a little bit savory so looks
really shiny
yeah and it's a dark of rice then you
would usually get so I've never seen one
of these before
de Becque you must I do think I don't
know what I want to touch okay my
touching so nice stone ASMR next to the
ocean waves it just doesn't get better
than this so this is chickadee Mahama
beach it's the most n-no sand so this is
a Pebble Beach
it's a Pebble Beach yeah so there's a
variety of different kinds of beaches
here we got the beautiful white sand or
the Las Beach and then the pebbles on
this one and the pebbles is so nice I
can't stop touching them she's so weird
that's so perfect it's smooth and
beautiful but literally right on all
that oh there is chichi oh the roaring
the why
there is a particular angle that you
have to look at it from and be like ah I
see that line like them okay okay
Magnus okay so it is considered a
national natural treasure but you can
understand why I mean it's a rock shaped
as a lion naturally which is awesome
mm-hmm
and it's about 25 meters tall which is
huge
yeah really doesn't look that huge but I
think if I stand at the base I'll be
like oh that's it then you can tell yeah
we're gonna be watching the sunset which
is happening a real still unreal so you
gotta catch that yeah yeah I think
that's all for day one pretty oh I'm
going to see more things tomorrow yeah
but I think we're gonna get some sleep
and eat some fruit
and hopefully I'll be able to make it to
the hotel but I might not be able to
because I just can't stop touching these
rocks
[Music]
ramani morning everybody this morning
we've come to oniy Gaja which is it's a
rock wall that spends about 1.2
kilometers and from a lookout point you
can see the whole of the kimono nada see
but it's so beautiful and it's a cave as
well yeah I would say I would describe
it as a key Hey yeah but if you search
on you got your own like Instagram or
something you mostly see pictures like
beautiful pictures of the starry sky
right so I would say that this place is
kind of known for its like star gazing
star gazing point point yeah you get a
nice view of the sky and if it's exactly
what we did last night we didn't manage
to see a beautiful starry sky even
though there were some clouds yeah it
was so so beautiful never seen so many
stars in my life I got a little bit emo
because I was like I am a city girl I've
never seen so many stars in the sky you
know first time it just feels unreal
because it's such a big open space you
can see so much of one on one place yeah
and the waves looked so big today it's
kind of a violent crash yeah yeah so
we're gonna walk around here a little
bit and then we're gonna go hiking again
again we've been hiking a bit together
wait we're hiking buddies now you know
so I'm excited yeah
[Music]
by the way this is our spot like where
we did our stargazing last night so we
set about camera yeah upon the higher
level because so you can see more the
cave in your picture but just in case
you wanted to know we were there
[Music]
okay so we're hiking we're just about to
start the hike we have our hiking sticks
that are available at the bottom and
we're going to be doing the Kumano Kodo
which is a set of ancient pilgrimage
hiking routes that crisscross all over
the key hansel which is the biggest an
intial in Japan but specifically is
Matsumoto Colgate Pass which is just a
part of Kumano Kodo it's the beginner
section but yes because if you were to
climb the whole thing it would be like a
hundred and eighty kilometers yeah too
far yeah but this one is only five
colonna's and it will take about two
hours so your manager also all of these
pilgrimage routes are World Heritage
Sites
but yeah we're gonna see some stuff
along the way so we'll see you guys
later
yeah come hike here we go
[Music]
Oh
so I've just been hiking up and now
we've reached the point of jizz Oh a
friend of a point of jizz Oh
the point of jizz oh okay this is the
jizz Oh point okay so edge is a-- is a
kind of guardian deity for children just
this quite a few jeez oh it's shrines
and everything this guy's a little bit
special because what happened to you
it's a legend that he was just walking
along and some guy saw him and thought I
it's a goblin and he got shot this guy
got shot in the leg and they still have
the scar on the stache let's go see the
scar we're gonna go check it out now
like a little bullet on his leg poor guy
you'll always be reminded of that and
everyone would know his tragic story
yeah so yeah this is just one of the
spots that you can see but we've already
seen quite a few of the spots that are
on this trail and you've seen them in
the video so yeah you can't see them on
this trail but we're not gonna venture
any further because we've already seen
them so we're gonna go for a last last
spot already already but the last spot
is Mariama say my dad because basically
the rice V rice field and based on
pictures that we've already seen it's
super super pretty I haven't seen the
pictures yet so it's a surprise to me
all right then back down the Mount I
don't want to go down I might want it to
roll down on my flight down somehow it's
like rivers I was like let's take it
like a slide it's a good idea about
really dangerous
[Music]
made it to the last spot whoo-hoo we
actually cycled yeah yeah Oh Mike yeah
it was a good journey I think we did a
good job but that's gonna be in another
video so stay tuned for that right now
we're at Maruyama San Maeda which is the
rice field so it's actually one of the
top 100 most beautiful rice fields in
Japan it's a really one rice field this
1340 rice fields in this area so like is
that consider one I think so
unfortunately right now it's not really
the peak of its beauty
actually this midoriyama Sen mida is
actually really famous for the view when
there's a sunset oh yeah like the
reflection on the water so in a spring
time going into summer it's very green
and lush and a relative maybe late a
fall kind of yeah yeah usually I do
think that this kind of style of rice
field is very common in Japan I don't
see it super and usually it's just flat
so I think this is quite special how
it's got the the tiered effect all right
well that's it that's our final stop so
it's been really fun over here the views
were honestly so nice like every pot
that we drove by was like picture was
yawning seriously Mountain every
different tree yeah I took so many
pictures and if you're coming to Japan
and you really want something that is
just super countryside and natural and
really local then definitely try out
this area super nice so once again it's
like five hours from Tokyo but it's
really not that fire doesn't feel that
far and don't worry
they're always bikes buses taxis and
driving if you can drive so
transportation here is like completely
set you're good
yeah I thank you guys so much for
watching let us know in the comments
down below which site that we went to
that you think is the best mm-hmm thank
