[@加治木優実]

Hi Nate, I'm Yumi! It was very nice to meet you at the summit of Mt. Norikura :) Thank you for the beautiful video which reminds me the wonderful time there 😍 I wish you further success in your KZbin channel!

[@karmad.twelve6613]

I instantly recognized your name cause I know it means bow in Japanese! Pretty name! :)

Thanks for commenting and watching Yumi! It was fun meeting you at the top!

The kotatsu room is going to be an important place for family communication😊 Although Nagano Prefecture does not face the sea, the great nature surrounded by magnificent mountains is very attractive. It was a very wonderful hike!

[@namenick3958]

こんな山頂にも鳥居とか山頂小屋とか人工物があるし、簡単ではあるけど登山道が整備されてるのは凄いなぁと感心します。作った人たちが居るという事実に感謝ですね。山登りできない人でもバスで往復するだけでも楽しめそうでした。今のところ...子供たちは興味無いかもしれないけど、いつか一緒に登れたら良いですね。ご家族が「こたつ」を気に入ってくれたようで嬉しいです。 ※鳥居とか宗教的に拒絶せずに受け入れていただいているのが、好感持てます👍

I was surprised at the number of rocky areas near the summit of Mt. Norikura. The scenery from the bus window and your friend's car window was very beautiful with autumn leaves.🍁 Thank you for showing me the beautiful scenery. I am very happy that your KZbin channel has reached over 140,000 subscribers in the past week. Anna said that although her new school is fun, she misses seeing her friends from her old school very much....Those words remained deeply in my heart.

きれいな！ If I one day am able to come to Japan for a longer period of time I will go hiking. The scenery there is stunning. Have been hiking here i Sweden and you one got those views in the north. But there is something special about Japan. I hope you're new home are starting to feel like home. The tatami room is wonderful!

I agree- Japan has a very unique look. We were in the Japanese alps, and they are very special. I hope you get a chance to visit at some point!

Kotatsu tends to make you sleepy because it is comfortable. And it is good for low electricity consumption.

[@bethbarclay855]

All you need are pillows for the Kotatsu room then you can fall 😴. The views are amazing when you went hiking. Shame about the wind.

Glad to see Kazu san once again 😃 The footage of the Kurobe gouge was the very video that made me to subscribe to your channel.i just wish someday you go to so so adventurous mountains like this one together with your children. I,m thinking of especially Joshua kun in mind but of course I have to take it in mind that you might be called back to the States until then.

[@earlysda]

Nice views and a pleasant time with friends. I hope to do something similar, but on a lower mountain, in a couple of weeks when the Fall colors are at their peak.

[@elteescat]

(The kotatsu is a soul-sucking devil table from which there is NO escape! Lol) Hurray for Paz coffee and gaijin on the mountaintop! Those were some AMAZING views! I'm sure it was well worth the effort to get up there!

[@LIJ]

Ha ha- it was!

[@kimberlydeverell2863]

What a neat hike! I haven't done a hike like that in years. I went to a few hiking areas in Japan when I was there in 2015, but nothing like that. Last time I did a major hike was when we still lived in Washington state. I used to do an annual trip to Mt. Rainier in the summer just in time for the wild flowers and would hike around Paradise taking photos. Though, one year I went on July 1st and there was still about 5 ft of snow on the ground. Still got some amazing photos though.

[@LIJ]

Wow- Mt Rainier sounds really cool - I'd love to do it sometime!

[@kimberlydeverell2863]

@@LIJ It's definitely a beautiful area. Highly recommend Mt Rainier in the mid/late summer and early fall for the wild flowers and fall colors. It's worth it. I liked to hike the trails around Paradise and up toward the mountain near the base looking for waterfalls. There are several large waterfalls at Paradise including Myrtle Falls and Narada Falls. If I make it back to visit family during the summer, I might try and hit the other side of the mountain, which they call Sunrise. And of course the next time I visit Japan I want to go to Fuji. I just love mountains and waterfalls. Anywhere with beautiful scenery really.

[@annunakian8054]

Places like that make a small country like Japan seem huge.

[@バッチー-batchy]

Konbanwa, Nate-san. 🤗 This time, I went to Mt. Norikura in the Japanese Alps. What surprised me was that there was a bus stop at such a high place. Is this a regular route bus, not a sightseeing bus? However, it was a steep mountain trail in the middle of the day. This may be dangerous for children to go. It was really good to be able to go down safely.

[@Bezanie]

Can't finish a trip up a mountain without a cup of coffee! 😂

乗鞍畳平の標高は約2700mと、森林限界をも超える「自家用車で行ける日本最高地点」でした しかし十数年前からマイカー規制が始まって路線バス・タクシー以外の車両が入山できなくなり、「日本最高所にあるバス停」に変わって現在に至ります 例年11月から翌年４月末頃までは、甚だしい積雪でバス停に至る道路自体が閉鎖されるため、この期間は到達が出来ません 乗鞍の紅葉はまさに、道路閉鎖直前ギリギリのタイミングが一番美しい、と聞いたことがあります あとこたつ中毒に注意😂
