雪降りすさぶ中の撮影、寒くて大変だったでしょう。ランチの温かさが画面越しでも良く伝わりました。ありがとうございました。

[@Artix13]

It’s pretty amazing how thanks to KZbin one can be “transported” to a peaceful Japanese village in an instant from the other side of the world (watching from the UK). What a beautiful place and that weather, wow! I’m originally from Poland where in mountains we have houses with similarly shaped roofs as it also snows a lot. They belong to Górale.

[@GreasyFox]

And that is the wonder of technology. Ya can't enjoy this with the 'good old days' mindset.

[@BirdBath1]

Maybe try look at bird bath, from Jamaica 🇯🇲, warm and sunny 🌞

[@mayhemacres725]

So beautiful and peaceful. It must feel so wonderful to be there.

[@ZGryphon]

I know, right? Where I am in northern New England, a place like that would be overrun with drunken tourists on snowmobiles.

[@BirdBath1]

Jamaica 🇯🇲 birds, look at bird bath

[@DayOwlify]

So beautiful, the awesome quiet of falling snow. I'm chilly just watching.

[@davidgriego549]

Beautiful quiet and peaceful I've never seen that much snow in my entire life

[@paracog]

Brave Kuga! Thanks for sharing this. I turned on my desk heater and made a cup of tea after this!

[@dskadd32]

That's beautiful. No wonder the buses are there! Snow, ice and running water - fantastic.

[@SebastienFortin07]

Astonishingly beautiful and peaceful.

[@saraseifert6005]

Oh thank you soooo much! It’s so peaceful and beautiful!

I love the crunch of fresh snow.

Loved the powder ski vid! Kuga is a skier! This snowy, crunch stream is wonderful, thank you,

[@ellem2293]

So lovely Kuga, thank you for sharing with us subs & viewers :)

[@Evergreen64]

What a beautiful place! In a quiet place there's no more peaceful sound than the snow falling.

[@ludi7083]

Love it when landscapes are covered with lots of snow and when snow is crunching under the shoes... 🙂

[@gb4290]

Thank you so much for taking us with on your day trip. 🙂 What beautiful village, snow covered. It was such a great adventure!!👍🏻🎈👋🏻😄

[@christianerousseau511]

Thank you for sharing your beautyfull country with us. This is a stunning vidéo of a stunning village !

[@allyvinet]

It's fascinating to see how villages that are regularly exposed to such weather conditions have adapted! Beautiful! That has now piqued my interest, I will definitely read more into it! Thank you for this video!

[@davidcole333]

You have a beautiful homeland.

[@bbond7840]

So very peaceful and calm. Even the snow beneath your feet is quiet. Truly lovely. Thank you for sharing this place.

[@stevew2926]

one of the spots i've always wanted to visit. it is beautful there! arigato for taking us there.

[@carolboehler5753]

Such a beautiful video. It was good for the soul.

[@MartialBachoffner]

Merci, c'est tellement calme et paisible, très reposant.

[@122Kittykat]

Thank you for such a beautiful video. I would love to see it when it warms up and the snow is gone! It is beautiful!

[@davidlong1786]

Beautiful snow scenery and love the quiet you get in a snow laden place like that, only the sound of the boots crunching along. Must be a full time job just keeping the snow build up from getting too deep on some of those roofs, even the steep ones. Those poor trees need wacked with a long pole before the snow weight breaks those limbs off also.

[@Japan.Nature]

Thank you for sharing this video and i expect more videos like this coming from you 💛💛💛

[@watchhans]

Thank you for this trip! I hope that very soon tourists can finally travel to Japan again without restrictions. If this happens, I will be among the first ones! I look forward to visiting this wonderful place!

[@johnestes6880]

Thanks for a walk through of a Japanese hub in the winter. That is fun.

[@willmartina]

Thank you for your videos, especially this one. We can't wait to return to Japan. Until we do return, we've been using your travel videos to compile our list of places to visit and journeys to take. This village is now - definitely - on the list.

[@nicholo1]

I love your channel so much. I miss Japan. Thank you

[@raytheron]

That was an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@bbear753]

Thanks for showing us the beautiful Japanese countryside in snow. I love the Japanese social responsibility, no trash can, you take the trash home.

[@CrazySquirrelProductions]

Oh my goodness! Such a beautiful place. Thanks Kuga. ♥️

[@jessicanippes1730]

Simply beautiful, the sound of snow under the feet, memorys... we did not have that in western Germany many many years, i miss it!❤

[@klb5114]

Thank you for the beautiful tour. It's a beautiful location and the snows everywhere sometimes higher than you are. But I'm surprised you didn't turn into a snowman. LOL I hope you stayed warm.

[@mariaceziracolombara7677]

Thank you for this beautful scenary village!

[@daveydoo3173]

Awow how magical , absolutely beautiful, love the snow, thank you Kuga for taking us on the beautiful walk ❤❤

[@globodina]

Oh my God!! I wish I were there... I miss snow and this village is absolutely breathtaking!!!!

[@dcantu-paez4308]

So peaceful. Love the water sounds and how the snow hits the camera sound.

[@nibeditanandi5835]

FANTASTIC bro... Beautiful nature... ❤️💫❄️

[@PorkChopJones]

A very nice video, a winter wonderland... of purity! There is so much snow on the ground this almost appears to be a black and white video. Just look at the snow caps on top of these structures! So huge! 2:43 mark. A person living in a tropical climate can only look at this video and dream..... what is this really like? If you live in a place where it's 90F everyday....to be here just for a day! Would be an experience of a lifetime!

[@rachelmongisidi3170]

Yess exactly.. I live in a tropical climate country so it's a bit emotional to see this spectacular winter wonderland video!

[@chanjustin2750]

Thank you for getting back my memories of Japan’s marvellous landscape. I used to travel Japan every year until 2019. After the combination of social movement and pandemic, that’s makes me miss Japan so much.

[@ameliamurphy8416]

What a beautiful looking place. Idk that I could handle that much snow. Thanks for sharing that part of Japan.

[@2arizona1990]

Very beautiful and peaceful scenery. I would love to visit this place from my home in Colorado, USA. Thank you very much for sharing!

[@BeliaLastes]

It's snowing here in Mystic, Connecticut USA ❤️ 🌨️❄️❄️❄️

[@mnemosynedane602]

this is what i expected to see last Jan 2020, 2 months before the world is shutdown by covid. there was no snow in shira at that time, so it only means i need to visit it again soon when everything is back to normal. stay safe and healthy, Kuga so u can give us more scenic views in Japan! Thank you! 🇵🇭

[@simonas9862]

This place looks so peacefull to live,and the village is a great place to live too

[@Slammer_1970]

Just happened upon this video in my recommended list. I really enjoyed watching it and loved the area that you were waking through in the snow. Going to check out more of your videos.

[@OmniaInNumerisSitaSunt]

Lots of snow and at times I felt concerned for you for braving the cold to show us this picturesque place. But it was enchanting to see the village totally shrouded in snow and mist. We have lots of rains here in Australia this year as well, at least in the parts of Australia I live in. However, it's steamy hot afterwards. Thanks for showing us the lovely sights. 🤩💖🥰

[@shoked99]

Wow. Amazing place in the snow. I saw another video in Spring with the open air museum. Must be like stepping back in time. Thanks!

[@fancybobbybob]

Thanks for posting!🇨🇦

[@2LaneTraveler]

Nice. I grew up in Massachusetts, so I really enjoy snowy scenes.

[@ivanli6993]

Been there before, absolute paradise when snowing, paradise to the shops there with the number of tourist too

[@ChollieD]

Snowy Japan is best Japan.

[@Margaret-1661]

What a stunning little town! Thanks for sharing this. I hope you found a nice onsen close by after all that walking in the snow!

[@franciscawrites8972]

It is so beautiful...but, yes, Kuga-san...go inside before you turn into a snowman! ☃

[@pippoboy8104]

Lunch looks so delicious 😋😋😋

[@rachelmongisidi3170]

Thank you so much for this! Make me emotional to watch it somehow.. and your sense of humor make me chuckle as well. Stay healthy and happy!

[@heartoflotus]

Wow! 🌨❄🌨❄🌨❄ I'm glad you didn't turn into a snowman! ⛄ Thank you for sharing! 🙏

[@swanchwan]

I visited Shirakawa-go several years ago in the summer. It looks so different all covered in snow, but still lovely. Can't wait to go back to Japan

[@ladylaura8038]

A gorgeous winter wonderland almost all to yourself ❄️☃️🤍💙 How delicious ⛄️⛄️

[@ginnamin]

2014 I was there during the fall ! Absolutely beautiful 👍🏻

[@wisecanadianwoman]

This was beautiful. I live in the Canadian Rockies and I don't think I have ever seen anyone use an umbrella in the snow. Thank you for sharing. ♥

[@ej3016]

🇨🇦 Hello Alberta or British Columbia - this is south western Ontario - I’ve seen many folks (myself included) using umbrellas in the winter during flurries or light snow fall - esp during the past two winters so our masks don’t get wet - it isn’t normally a thing you think of in the great white north though 😁🤗

[@ZGryphon]

Heh, I had that thought too. Here in Maine, it's usually too windy for an umbrella when it's snowing that hard. :)

[@dalensajero6805]

From Edmonton here - what’s incredibly amazing too is the snow seems to remain pristine - white and clean even on the sidewalks,! In my city, streets and sidewalks get so muddy, dirty and with trash. Thanks Kuga-san for another beautiful peaceful view of this village ( noted to visit).

[@Infrared73]

@@ej3016 I'm near London Ontario, and I've yet to see someone using umbrella's during snow around here. That said, I'll be looking for it now as it seems like a good idea.

[@ej3016]

@@Infrared73 hello - I’m on the edge of the university (UWO) - mended blended neighbourhood - also sorts of umbrellas all year long - mine is always in my backpack (waiting for buses 😳🥴) but past couple of years I’ve brought it out as I said to keep my mask dry when it’s snowing 😷🤗 keep safe & stay well - and enjoy your Japanese day dreams 😃😉

[@FlexxenRandomPlaces]

There's nothing more cozy than a walk through the historical Shirakawa-go in winter 😍

[@kimberlygraham2613]

Love this village. Must be wonderful to live and work there. Thank you for your hard work and time.

[@SibDeutsch]

Really amazing!

[@aliceboyles1791]

Absolutely beautiful. I would love to see the village in other seasons as well.

[@BirdBath1]

Alice, look at bird bath from Jamaica 🇯🇲

[@Anita7702]

This is a perfect ASMR video, love that the piano is gently in the background slow playing and you kept the wind noise and all others. Such a relief of anxiety ❤

The falling of snow On a cold Japanese day I wish I was there

[@SajjadKhan-jn7cw]

beautiful

[@cubytischer]

Yes it is very snow there .i like kuga video for Harmonie Japan 💙

[@ZGryphon]

What a beautiful place! Thank you for showing it to us. For some reason, I particularly like the contrast of the traditional buildings with the modern snow-removal equipment scattered around everywhere. It shows that heritage site or no, these folks take their snow seriously. :)

[@eskercurve]

I was there before! Beautiful village in spring too! I miss Japan and can't wait till they reopen travel.

[@vap57]

What a wonderful place, with a tremendous atmosphere!

[@kopilumbar2366]

As a person who spent the rest of my life at tropical country, for once, i really want to see and feel snow. its so peacefull. Nice video.

Very nice scenery

Looks like a nice cozy village...Wow! That is a lot of snow! Merry Christmas!!😀🦌

Wow look at the layer of snow on some of the flat roofs… @9:02 I would not be brave enough to cross that snow covered bridge…😁…thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am in America Pennsylvania Pa, I am not feeling well so watch this and wanted let you know how peaceful this was and help me feel calm..thanks for doing these videos, I appricate your time.

[@tremorist]

Thank you very much. Greetings from Germany.

[@SevenandForty]

I remember visiting in February 2020, just before the pandemic started to spread a lot. It was a really gorgeous day, with some sunny times and some snow as well, but I can remember very distinctly how slippery the roads were from all of the people walking compacting the snow into ice, and having to walk very carefully to avoid falling. It was a lot more crowded that day than now, probably because there are fewer tourists these days. The road up to the vantage point above the town was quite a slow trek but worth it, as seeing all the houses in the valley, with the snow covered mountains on both sides, really was quite amazing.

[@oryxlim]

I went there on January 2020. It was sunny and no snow at all. I was slightly disappointed bcuz I went there specifically to see the snow, as advertised by the travel agency. :') Despite that, the village is very interesting for its historical value. I recommend going there.

[@angenhenyeronglakwatsero1990]

Forever a beautiful place - Shirakawa-go specially during winter.

[@michalislamprinos38]

Wow it's so amazing. Beautiful landscape with lots of snow. It's so relaxing. Lucky you ☺️
