Japan’s Mountain Towns Are Quickly Disappearing

Japan’s mountain communities are some of the most preserved parts of this country. We explored rural Japan – tried some food, skiing and local customs – and realized the way of life here is disappearing as the population declines and Japan’s economy is shrinking.

We looked at the Japanese resort Shiga Kogen, Nagano and the snow monkeys.

  1. Great Video! It's really cool getting a look at Japan and it's culture. It's very beautiful country in the mountains. Hope you guys had a blast Filming this One! Glad y'all made it Home safe!

  2. Great video Nick, and very funny. I spit my drink out when you were wearing the kimono and head sash. Lol. Kim is a good sport and I love her in the videos too.😊❤

  3. I remember getting sick half way through my trip in Japan, felt like I had walking pneumonia. Anyways, I still enjoyed the trip alot, but reminiscing back, japan literally felt like a “fever” dream. 😅

  4. "This is what a Japan mountain tree looks like, this is what Japan snow looks like."
    Lol!
    You are gold Nick!
    Thank you!

  5. In Delhi, India, they don't have soap in there public restrooms either and they use their bare hands instead of toilet paper.

  6. In Asia in general theres very few places that give free soap on bathrooms.

    Also the getting sick part is possibly due to the jetlag since your body gets thrown off balance

    I personally experience it anytime we travel internationally since its also getting exposed to allergens your body is not used to so it hits you like a truck

  7. This has been such a fun series, Nick! I was wondering how does the Teriyaki chicken in Japan compare to the Teriyaki chicken places in the US?
