It doesn’t. Use common sense. They are showing you videos from early morning or late afternoon when traffic has subsided, but in general every area is over populated

Japan really is one of the most beautiful travel destinations. I also calculated the prices for food and was surprised at how affordable some things are there. You would pay twice to three times as much for such dishes in my country.

Hello Sol, Thank you for this beautiful video of Takayama. I really enjoyed this peaceful and serene village. Its super-friendly shops and the Sarubobo. It's so cute. Another destination to add to my trip when I go to Japan. I loved the Takayama shrine with its very old cedar tree and especially the toori with the stairs, just like the Makoto Shinkai movie Your Name, which I loved. In fact, I love all Makoto Shinkai's movie, as much as Hayao Miyazaki's. I really fell in love with Hida no sato. A place that literally seduced me. It's the perfect place where I'd like to live. A real dream. Thank you again for your videos, which take us on a journey to the Japan I love so much. Have a wonderful day. Alain.
