Is it necessary to live in Japan for the following shugendo? Or you can live in other country but have to make pilgrimage to sacred mountains ?

@kiwiyamabushi 11 күн бұрын

No such requirement! Can live and practice Shugendo anywhere and there are plenty of people who practice it overseas! Our very own Master Hoshino has practiced Shugendo in Brazil, Morocco, and New Zealand, for example!

It’s rather secluded and lies on the outskirts of the city. There were houses at the base of the mountain, but not where the trail starts, although you could start down there. Very easy hike indeed, as I said in the other video, even kindergarteners can hike it!

lovely walk around Sakata town centre, department stores are going out of business in Germany, too, they are a business concept of the old days before we had the internet, no need to worry about that. And seeing that almost all people there have a car, it s n wonder that they shop in supermarkets outside the centre. Are there farmers markets in Sakata? And how do they use the spring water? any public baths? Hope I can catch the next Live... and don't forget to tell us about this years Yamabushi event!

@kiwiyamabushi 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, I forgot to mention one department store went out of business in my hometown too, Wellington NZ. A sign of the times. There are places called Sanchoku 産直 that sell farmer’s produce year-round, so not quite a market but a similar concept. Then we have a monthly morning market where people also sell their produce, but the main focus isn’t the vegetables, I think. Lots of local cafes and other shops! With the spring water, I think people simply drink it! There is always a queue for the more popular springs with people filling up huge bottles! Many public baths, Yamagata has at least one in each municipality! For the yamabushi event, I think the next one will be the Shoreisai on New Year’s Eve!

I like your videos and love watching your hikes and the stories behind the mountains, but I guess most foreign tourist rely on public transport, train stations, and they are maybe not as well trained as you. So maybe it makes more sense to show walks and trails that start close to the stations or at least are easy to find and get to (no bus). The average tourist might be OK with walking 2-3 hours on relatively flat terrain, that's what we see in mountain regions in Germany. Older folks like walks of 1-1,5 hours max. The real "mountain hikers" are very few, and as such can not revitalize a whole region. Of course it is also important that the cost of the accommodation is cheaper than in other regions, at least for people from my country. Yamagata could be a real tourist magnet for Germans 50+ , just look at our Black Forest or other mountain regions, you have all that, too.

@kiwiyamabushi 3 ай бұрын

Thank you for your kind words and support! Yes, I agree with you. The reason for hiking these mountains is that they are on the 100 Famous Mountains of Yamagata list. This was number 35 for me. Some of the mountains are very easily accessible as you mention, some like Mokuzo-Yama not so much! You definitely need a car to get here! I try to collate all the information on my website, (timbunting.com/mountains) but I could definitely do a better job of adding that information to the videos, and I have thought of making hiking guide videos specifically for all of the mountains I have hiked so far. I should probably get onto that actually, it wouldn’t be too hard since I have already collated the information… either way, I really appreciate your support! Thank you for watching so intently!
