I'd never heard about Nikko Edomura until I read this article. It's really cool that Japan has a theme park like this. I've studied a bit of Japanese history but it didn't cover courtesans very much, so the only knowledge I have about oiran basically comes from the t.v. show Jin (仁) lol. I never would have guessed that it would take at least three years to be able to even walk properly, that sounds harder than learning the footwork from when I was in a kendo club. Watching the video though, trying to walk in that pattern while wearing those giant clogs looks pretty difficult. I'm curious to know if the courtesan in the video was previously a courtesan or has trained for a long time to be able to perform the role. If anyone knows, be sure to tell me! The place looks really fun to go for a date though, so maybe I'll check it out if I get the chance to go to Tochigi. Probably next summer or spring because it's getting way too cold for me lol!

Travel back in time to the Edo period! The sight of oiran (courtesans) dressed in gorgeous kimonos parading through Nikko Edo-mura in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, is so beautiful that you can't help but admire them!

Wow, I really liked this video. Great music too! It seems like Nagiso has a ton of stuff to do. It felt like I was on a journey just watching it. I haven't heard of this place, maybe it's one of those hidden gems I guess, as I can't see how it wouldn't be super popular. I'd love to head out here during the summer and see the waterfalls in the area too. The part at 6:50 looks like it could even be a waterslide but I doubt you can swim here lol (I'll be reading more about this...). Also, WOW! Momosukebashi Bridge looks so cool! I'm not one of those guys to fawn over bridges but this bridge has some really cool architecture. It looks really awesome sitting over the bed of white rocks as well. The festivals look fun too. The Hanauma Festival with the horses carrying charms? on their backs looks interesting. Hopefully it doesn't scare them too much though. Maybe next summer or spring I can head out here to see the waterfalls or cherry blossoms! That, or maybe even the harvest moon!

This is a really fitting video for this time of year. It's already getting really cold and beautiful snowscapes are starting to pop up all over the place. It's pretty unfortunate that coronavirus has made everything so hectic around the world, as I would have really loved to go to the Sapporo Snow Festival this year. Unfortunately it was cancelled, which is probably for the best, but maybe I can go check it out next year. I'd love to head over to Akita to check out some of the igloos too, as that sounds really interesting and I don't know much about the area. This article has a ton of places that I'll be adding to my list of travel destinations for the future! Idk about the snowboarding though, it's been a few years since I last went and I don't think it'd be too good on my knees lol! I hear the slopes in Japan are great though, so who knows, I might give it another shot if I head out to Zao!
