hello everybody welcome to Tokyo
creative play I'm your host Emma and I'm
Natasha and we are in Nikko so we are
starting off in Nikhil but we're
actually on a five-day tour as part of a
new tour deal package thing offered by
Japan post group uh-huh
so this video is actually sponsored by
Japan Post so the new attire fetish
includes a five-day for a seven-day tour
or ten-day tour and we've had look at
all these packages and we've picked out
some places that we think would be
really good to visit so we've just made
our own little tour through the next
five days but for the next two days
we're gonna be traveling through tour
Chi Chi and Fukushima
okay so we're pretty much good to go
let's go to our local post office and
see if we can get some more information
awesome recommendations
[Music]
there's so many different drinks and all
the postcards oh yes we received some
free gift tickets yes could we exchange
it first I have an idea
it's gonna be a surprise I was cute I
have asked you to we're on a trip
together cuz we are friends we get this
postcard I think they wanna thank you so
do you know about landscape stamps okay
okay so when you send like a postcard or
a letter
there's the step and then there's also a
stamp that they do that shows the date
it was sent
oh yeah okay okay so actually those ones
around here look really beautiful and
they're kind of like dot so I'm gonna
get one of the postcard and we get a
bouquet oh yes so if you guys are unable
to speak Japanese they actually have
this tablet available where you can just
tap and speak and you will translate for
you where do you recommend also asking
for some food recommendations yes I'm
hungry
do you have any food recommendations
around the area yes these are our
recommendation Nico is famous and for

sounds good okay how do we get
we are here okay it is best fun
okay that's really close by all right
yeah three minutes okay nice easy okay
all right thank you okay
[Music]
all right we just finished a quick lunch
and now we are at our first stop I mean
I didn't I'm not a ginger so this place
is actually built in 766 so it's really
old well that originally it had a
thatched roof and over time it's gotten
bigger and bigger and bigger and now
it's this huge beautiful building what
you see today so now this Jinja is also
considered a national treasure and if
you do get the chance to go inside oh
wow the inside it's super beautiful
there are three deities inside and
they're golden and they're huge and
beautiful they are huge but they look
majestic yeah beautiful it smells so
good inside the first thing Emma said
when she walked inside well this place
smells nice smells like okay but the
walls are all red and shiny and like
there are so many things to kind of
observe and read about when you're in
there so I think if you do get a chance
you should totally check out the inside
check it out around this area there are
two other shrines nearby so I think we
should all just check it out at the same
time okay it was just not having it
she's just tired already it's our
birthday service you're welcome
[Music]
did you know that you can't actually
walk down the middle of a temple's
walkway because that's where the gods
walk it's okay if you do your eat it's
okay if you make mistakes but you're no
one
[Music]
so currently we're at food Odessa and
ginger is the shrine behind us and
potala son is dedicated to the three
mountain deities of the area so I think
Fatah design represents one of the
mountain yeah
this right here is considered one of the
most holy and secret lakes and streams
which is because the water comes
straight from the back off the mountain
make ourselves pure I just before you go
let me show you these trees this is the
parent and child trees
oh yeah kosugi tree yeah but oh yeah is
parents call is child and cig years like
cedar tree also when you come to Japan
you gotta try oh yeah hold on which is
parent child's bowl of rice where you
have chicken and an egg on top of rice
okay guys everything cause it's really
early here or the shrine closes at 5:00
p.m. for running a little bit late five
minutes five minutes to cover the shrine
oh girl we made it we made it and what
you see behind us is one of the most
famous and largest shrines in all of
nickel
yeah it's tosho-gu shrine and this is
where we're gonna see the monkeys I've
never seen them before so I've seen
let's go come here buddy
so if you didn't know toshogu shrine is
a giant shrine entirely dedicated to the
first there was a bee on your hair and
flew away there's a bee on there's like
an orange thing and I don't
this entire shrine is dedicated to the
first Shogun up in the gallery I see and
is actually a cat here at the memory
Nikhil it's a little carving or
engraving of a cat and then it is a
sleeping cat and it protects the grave
of the Shogun as you can see the grounds
are really huge and fidgeting is so
beautiful so much gold and here we have
the famous three monkeys the hear hear
no evil see no evil speak no evil bear
to the stories of the most famous and
important moralities and this pretty
careful to remember yeah and there's a

of sickness they actually came about at
a time where Japan or this area at least
a zoo was suffering a smallpox outbreak
and it was kind of seen that the kids
who had the archaic or didn't get sick
but yeah apparently the kids who had the
alphabetical didn't get sick so it was
like oh give me a couple the color red

illness for people like Arab people wear
red because it's the promote blood
circulation yeah will you buy one for
you yet

little bit to the left of the target all
my hours are like gradually getting
closer closer to the target slightly by
an inch every time darn darn it it's
quite satisfied is really satisfied so

fire in the wall oh why all the goodness
that was so much oh my god I had a

a Yakko M we are goin actually has a
really cool history it's a beautiful
garden but ii kanji in the name means
medicine and the lord of the land who
used to live here
many many a year ago many years many
years ago so he planted a lot of
medicine a lot of herbs to help people
sick sooo yeah that's why there's the
kind of medicine there's a lot of
ginseng particularly prominence here but
when this place got renovated it kind of
stood for the typical Japanese style yes
whatever presents that's how it was
renovated but it is our final stuff for
