Hi! Super great amazing video! I'm planning exactly 8 days in Japan and had thought I only had enough time to do Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. But the rural Japan town looks incredible! How did you come on Toyama and Shirakawa-go? Was this a tour agency recommendation or did you research on your own. Also, did you travel on your own or with a tour guide?

Great video, Nicolai Winner. Looking forward to your next upload! I smashed the thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the awesome work. Your exploration of the cultural experiences in Kyoto was fascinating! What insights did you gain about the impact of traditional practices on modern Japanese society during your travels?
