My Favourite Hike in Japan - Mt Shirouma // 2,932m Nagano

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I'm SO sorry I made the video live without realising that the HD version wasn't available yet and I already made it public :( 4K is on the way!!

[@DrJustininJapan]

Still looks incredible!! I am moving to Japan on WEDNESDAY!! Your videos have gotten me so excited to explore more. Have you ever done videos on Okinawa Island? I am moving to a beach there for my new job 🌊

[@danielgilleland5184]

Only took a few minutes... and worth the wait! breathtaking stuff! Made my morning here in Eastern Canada.

[@21BJBBVIP]

It doesn’t matter! This video editing is HD in itself

[@giochacon8354]

NO WORRIES, it is amaaaaaazing! thx

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Ah that’s amazing! Congrats on the new chapter of your life :) I haven’t got any videos from Okinawa unfortunately. Not yet anyway!

[@christy-anne-jones]

This video was so beautifully made and, honestly, with the colour grading and those low hanging clouds, Mt Shirouma looks like the most ghibli place in the world

[@thatjillgirl]

I had the same thought!

[@fourwinds3919]

Seeing the mountains bathed in sunlight is honestly so stunning. Your hiking vids give up a glimpse of Japan that most of us might never see, thank you

[@davidunoi7099]

3:26 Howls Moving Castle sure passed through here...so stunningly beautiful and serene it makes me want to cry.

[@ElenaTaber]

This is so therapeutic omg

[@zanemak5394]

For all the people like me missing Japan your videos are much needed and much appreciated. Thanks Hannah! From Singapore

[@keikei7765]

この方のフィルターを通してみるといつも違った日本を再発見する。 ドローンや音楽はもちろん、感動の視点もユニークなんだろうな。軽装でひょうひょうと登っていく様もcoolです。 綺麗な映像をありがとう。

[@TH3mrBROWN]

5:30 This is probably the happiest / most joyful I've ever seen you in one of your videos, pure bliss!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

So much better to share the joy with someone 😊

[@followme-followyou1716]

I agreed, so lovely

[@GOMBE3]

Mr. Shirouma, one of my most memorable mountain hike till now and will be. I recall my early half of my teenager days. It was a school event in summer.

[@KaratedudeYT]

Literally every Currently Hannah video goes straight into my favorites as soon as I'm done watching. Always breathtaking

[@matticlayton4443]

I really hope one day to be able to take hikes like this. Your videos are truly inspirational and I love how beautiful everything is that you show. Thank you so much for showing us the hiking side of Japan!

[@starostadavid]

That little chat while swimming was so wholesome.

[@shone2025]

いつもお２人の動画を楽しんでいます。ドローンによる映像なども絶景！！に圧倒されますし、キャンプなども自分が楽しんでいるような気持ちにさせて貰っています。ありがとう～😊👍

[@g.abiera]

Thanks Hannah, it's still lockdown in Melbourne, but living vicariously through you has been such a treat, Take care!

[@GTasOz]

Lost For Words. The edit in this is absolutely stellar. You made this a joy. Your obvious happiness (both) just shining on through. Thank you

[@dianaa8125]

I live how thoughtful Japan is about hygiene. The screens at 11.30 and the antibacterial spray ! Ugh wish it was like that everywhere

[@ivarrushkoff9885]

Damn, this looks like paradise, what the heck, i need a trip to japan asap... Your vlog honestly are one of the best in the whole universe. Thank you for making them

[@CurrentlyHannah]

So glad you like them John!

[@andrewlu7]

It’s glad to see you and Chris in coupling and pairing. Wish u both for good future.

[@DeluxeUnicorn]

I get so much joy from waking up and seeing there is a new video out, Such beautiful scenery. I really look forward to hiking this myself one day :)

[@Zooeyinthesky]

damn that looks insanely awesome! Never really went hiking but boy this might be something I have to get into. And always amazed by all the older people on these hikes!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

The elderly people hiking in Japan are serious goals! They’re hardcore.

[@tiinah-b2326]

Wow! Wow! Wow! Mountain scenery is just the best…. Especially when you are there experiencing it. What a beautiful place you found to hike yet again. Love these vlogs the most.

[@Asagohantabemasuka]

The video narrative flows amazingly in this video Hannah, and the drone shots added sooo much to how you've portraited the place. Beautiful video!

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

This is a complement. The less spoken word and more thoughtful moment in your vlogs the better I like it.

[@ryudragon7]

Hannah, thank you for continually filming these locations. Especially the breathtaking drone footage. I look forward to when you walk the next route. Also, those paper kite butterflies love you.

[@joycream5232]

Hannah I am so jealous of you. (hating being lockdown here in Oz and wanting to travel) The places you go are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!!!

[@ssirin]

Thanks so much for this video! I took the same route up to the top in July 2018, but wasn't so bless with the weather! Seeing this makes me want to visit it again but from another route via Daisekkei.

[@BrilliantLightGlowing1111]

The drones shots and the mountain views are amazing! Now I want to put this in my bucket list as well

[@shannonsheed977]

Absolutely stunning Hannah! Thanks for showing us the beauty of Japan that we never get to see!

[@zackpointon2419]

I just climbed Mt Korenge next to Mt Shirouma around this time and it was such a gorgeous view! Blessed to live in a place like this, thanks for sharing

[@stevensbirds4455]

You are so lucky to get to explore these Beautiful Places. Thank You for Sharing them with us.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I feel very lucky 😊

[@akeemrobertson9846]

Your videos are so calming and the instrumentals go perfect with it. I totally enjoy your videos after a long day :D

[@alicialloyd5537]

This was so beautiful to watch! What an incredible place to hike 😍

[@RussWeymouthPhotography]

Amazing scenery and to be up above the clouds. If I was there I'd be taking so many photos! Amazing drone flying from Chris.

[@yaroslavatimoshenko252]

Hakuba is such a beautiful place in the Summer! I only had the chance to enjoy it skiing in the winter, but what a magical area! The rock climb reminded me a lot of clambering up Tateyama in Toyama. Beautiful views!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah I’d only previously seen it in winter also but now I wanna see all the good snow/skiing areas in summer!

[@ちょぱー-q2v]

自分も下山は雨とガスで真っ白だったけど、登頂時は最高の景色でした😂　映像が美しすぎて思い出されます‼️

[@CalParr]

We did this hike last, last weekend and was amazing. We went the opposite way starting from Sarukura and descended the way you started. It was so tough coming down that way it killed my knees but seeing young children just bounce down was kick in the teeth

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oh nice! How would you rate the views of the other route compared to the Tsugaike route? I’d love to do this hike again and might consider the other direction!

[@CalParr]

@@CurrentlyHannahit’s pretty tough slog going up that way but the snow patch is impressive even in summer still really thick. The way the weather worked out we had pretty much clear skies going up first day and we went to the peak for sunset. The views going up were nice but hard to compare to other route because the day we came down Tsugaike route we were pretty much in the clouds. The lake looked impressive but not as good as in your shots with the fine weather. I probably wouldn’t go back just to do the sarukura route by itself but if you don’t plan any winter hiking it prob worth to return to hike a bit on the snow patch. The lower down hut we stayed at also has Viking buffet style dinner and breakfast which it pretty unique in itself. They’re the oldest huts in Japan apparently. If you wanted to return you go up Sarukura and then turn left (south) a long to ridge to Mt Goryu if you didn’t want to repeat the route. The kirette is meant to be impressive and not as advanced as daikirette or jandam

[@CurrentlyHannah]

@@CalParr Oh interesting... Thanks for sharing your experience! Interesting that the lower hut you stayed at had a buffet! Sounds exactly what I'd want after a long hike haha. I'll keep all that in mind when planning to hike again someday :D

[@Paulthecelt]

That was fabulous Hannah, such epic views as a reward for the hard effort. Love your work 🙂😎

[@thecloofer1255]

You always thank us for watching the videos all the way to the end as though we aren't wishing they would keep going. Silly Hannah, less is not more! lol

[@linguisticliv]

This sponsor is actually quite clutch, thanks for sharing great companies. I can't stress enough my gratitude for your videos and all the work you put into creating them. They inspire so much wonder through visual storytelling. You are a true artist. I also look forward to the winter informative vids to come! I don't usually comment but i'm always tuning in and sending good vibes and thanks your way through sheer brainpower.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks for the comment! I’m so glad you enjoy my videos and even the sponsor 😄

[@NicolaLovesMusic]

This is sooo wonderful with the music and so colours and tones! So very well done!

[@singular9]

I go on hikes from time to time and always try to find interesting places where I live, but this is just beyond spectacular. Jealous beyond words.

[@gizemandako]

Thank you so much for these beautiful views Hannah! Your work is so inspirational! Btw you and Chris are a great match! I feel so happy for you guys 😍

[@pennymcvicar624]

Stunning photography/drone work, and fabulous film making. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful place with us! ❤

[@tsonneckful1]

Your hiking videos are so calming, I love watching them to relax

[@crizcavalcante2575]

The drone's flying was "Holy crappppp"! What a beautifucl landscape!!!!!

[@AubreyBackovich]

Beautiful, yet again. Absolutely breathtaking and reminds me so much of the Planet Earth series! 💗

[@charlesl7516]

Amazing video! I look forward to the 4K version too but honestly this is already incredibly beautiful and enjoyable. I really do think that your work keeps topping the previous one. The music matches perfectly the scenery and creates this incredible atmosphere. This is keeping our dream of hiking in Japan alive. Thank you! Thanks too for the directions for the hike at the end of the video. You mentioned that it is a challenging hike. Do you register your names and info with the authorities prior to these hikes in general, just in case help may be needed? Here in Canada I do think a lot of people would register before heading deep into the mountains for an adventure.

[@JapaneseJourney]

Nagano is a beautiful area 😍

[@CurrentlyHannah]

It’s my favourite prefecture 😍

[@SRFMF]

Wow…incredible, amazing drone footage, a true delight 🙂

[@PentragonCosplay]

I really love all the work you put into this. And especially if I see scences like 2:18 I always think how you have to get back to fetch the camera again. That´s dedication!

[@kugastravel5180]

Awesome...

[@mindtraveler]

wow... these drone shots at the end... amazing.

[@WindCat64]

Beautiful and relaxing video ♥, I can't wait to watch your next one about hiking tips 😊

[@5pecular]

Wow Japan has some amazing hikes. Thanks so much for sharing your journeys with us especially the awesome drone shots. And your smile.😆

[@yeahtt6735]

白馬大池〜白馬岳もう日本一最高な登山道ですね！　とても素敵な画像いつも楽しみにしてます！　立山〜剱岳も良いですよ！

[@JINATAHISAKAZU]

I had never seen a drone video of Mt. Hakuba（白馬岳）🙂 thank you🙂　ありがとうございます。

[@lifeofthesanjuans]

all the extra steps to go back to the camera is so worth all the shots.

[@kurtcraig3421]

i really like the funny quirky endings to your vids, it's a great contrast to the scenic shots.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Haha glad I’ve been able to find a use for the extra footage that doesn’t make it.

[@hi_japan]

I'm enjoying your adventures in the mountains of Japan! It Drone captures are incredible. 😀

[@nauvalcerbang944]

It’s just one thing in my mind now, i have to go to there, thank you to show me the beautiful climb place in japan..

[@comiyat]

The three most essential gears for Hannah's hiking video: 1. camera, 2. good trekking shoes, 3. swim suit

[@amychang6461]

the view was priceless , feels like im with you there !!!!!!!

[@pruchi]

The bloopers are great, never leave them out!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Haha maybe I should make a whole video just of bloopers 😅

[@sanseiryu]

@@CurrentlyHannah Especially where you two are teasing each other. "A lot of wrinkles"..."Don't touch that camera!!!" I'm just smiling like an idiot! Great video as always! No more sad Hannah!

[@davidjames2235]

Thank you so much Hannah, that was amazing. It is helping me so much in lockdown in Melbourne Victoria.

[@apieceofcoffee]

Beautiful hike! And I'm STOKED for your informational videos you have coming up! Really looking forward to seeing how you go about planning your trips!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

So glad people are showing interest in those video ideas! Looking forward to making them 😊

[@kurofune.uragabay]

What, piano sonatas now...? I see, expanding that musical lexicon, good for you 😊 Another amazingly beautiful corner of the Japanese Alps, I have to agree with you that moment @7:02 just takes your breath away... thank you for sharing 🙏 I am happy that you have someone there with you to share those fleeting magical experiences (like, those butterflies, whatta...? 😮)

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Haha yeah I really loved that piece of music! I too am very glad there’s someone else able to join me now. Better for safety, of course but mostly to have some one to share the joy with 😊

[@jakesbarrios8285]

This is how I really love hiking. Thanks Hannah! Hoping to see "what's in the bag" video, "hiking hacks" video, or planning process video. You should do it with Cris. Hehe. Btw, you should come here in the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hahaha I’ll see if I can rope him into filming a video with me 😅

[@markhla427]

I wish you could bottle that feeling of the first bite of hot food after a 8-9 hour hike... better than any Michelin star restaurant. Thanks guys 👍🏼🧡👍🏼

[@SH-wk6po]

Love your videos Hannah! 😍 This one is spectacular too of course. *"Damn Japan! Damn!!"* The banter with the guys who didn't bring their bathing suits, the rando couple you guys posed with, the butterflies, the butterfly freakout lol, the drone footage as always is top notch, the nod to your singing etc. You guys made it together. 👏😁👏 I'd love any good tips on hiking boots, and who knows... maybe you can do a winter hike with Quinlan. Replace a traumatic experience with a really good one eh. 👟👟 I'm with Jon-Stephen Stansel on the other thing though. I have zero respect for the egomaniacs that run Canva, and the continued harm they perpetuate in devaluing what is already stressful, extremely under-appreciated, and underpaid work that designers do. His analogy that a highly processed microwave 'dinner' is not a replacement for a home cooked meal or going to a restaurant, imho absolutely applies here. Not to mention the data breach, phishing scams etc. In good conscience, I would love to urge you Hannah to not take these sponsorships which harm plenty of people that are already doing it tough. 🙏

[@dianaa8125]

I'm glad canva is a sponsor. They fit you so well and I'm obsessed with them.

[@GTasOz]

And also an amazing Australian success story.

[@brinnyful]

Would you consider making a video about hiking? Like how to get/stay in shape, and not injure yourself, how and what to pack, what you do to prepare, etc?

[@brinnyful]

I left this comment before watching the end of the video 😂

[@AdrijusGuscia]

Stunning!

[@DrJustininJapan]

CHRIS FLEW THE DRONE THROUGH THE CLOUDS!! I was so wanting to see that. He read my mind:) お疲れ様

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hahaha yes the cloud was actually close enough to go through it this time 😃 So beautiful!

[@DrJustininJapan]

@@CurrentlyHannah I flew my first drone today. You two inspire me, thanks haha

[@cimajeenvet]

It is a beautiful and stunning view of Mt. Hakuba! It must be a fun to walk along the steep road in clean and cold air! I wonder if the water of the lake was a bit cold:)👍😊😍🍻✔✔✔

[@alicecrane3033]

This is the best thing that's happened today

[@larryteslaspacexboringlawr739]

thank you for amazing drone shots of mountains

[@d3n0tz_]

Another great video as always Hannah! I think the shot at 09:04 with you and Chris should be the cover shot 👍👍👍

[@joemignano]

Nicely done! This is one of my favorites, too! Definitely try the Daisekkei route too, sometime!

[@nuioranzi1027]

Hi! You're my new favorite channel. Always love watching your videos! We just went to Japan and really missed it. Thanks for doing really nice and great information videos. If you please do more everyday life video would be great! I'd love to see it. Thanks!

Ah, another video to live vicariously through 😭💕

[@aquaarietta]

Can I just say I'm so hyped for you have a Canva sponsorship? 😂 Canva is LIFE for marketing professionals (like myself). I've used it almost every day for the past 2 and a half-ish years. Always learning new things in it, and they're also always adding new and incredible features. (I swear I'm not sponsored by them, just a Canva groupie who will gush about it any chance I get, haha). Also, lovely video! That water looked so dream-like!

[@aquaarietta]

I also audibly laughed so much at the bit about set design 🤣

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oh that’s so awesome to hear you have had a great experience using Canva! I was so pleasantly surprised when I first used it 😊

[@billypilgrim1]

Those cloud drone shots are really good

[@reshi1901]

Your editing, cinematography and the visuals from the nature 💜. Can't wait to make videos myself someday, thanks for the motivation and for such an amazing video once again!

Thank you so much 🥰

Best line of the entire video: "I can't sell out while you're here watching!" 🤣
