[Music] But it&#8217;s also been this. [Music] Yay. [Laughter] [Music] Tada. [Music] Over the next 5 days, we&#8217;re tackling part of\u00a0<br \/>\nthe 134 km Kunisaki pilgrimage \u56fd\u6771\u534a\u5cf6\u5cef\u9053\u30ed\u30f3\u30b0\u30c8\u30ec\u30a4\u30eb. We&#8217;ve left the tourist trail behind and landed\u00a0<br \/>\nat the northern tip of Kyushu in southern Japan. For over a thousand years, monks and pilgrims have\u00a0\u00a0 walked these rugged ridges and forested\u00a0<br \/>\nvalleys, following the path of Minman, a monk believed to be the Buddhist reincarnation\u00a0<br \/>\nof Hachiman, the Shinto protector of Japan. Each day, we&#8217;ll hike 15 to 25 km through ancient\u00a0<br \/>\nforests, past shrines, and quiet villages. And each night, we&#8217;ll rest\u00a0<br \/>\nat a remote Japanese onsen,\u00a0\u00a0 soak our sore legs, and enjoy a traditional meal. &#8220;Super Oish\u012b \u7f8e\u5473\u3057\u3044&#8221; This is the side of Japan most\u00a0<br \/>\ntourists don&#8217;t get to see. Far from the neon cities, surrounded by some\u00a0<br \/>\nof the country&#8217;s most beautiful nature. [Music] Good morning from a very rainy place in Japan. I actually don&#8217;t know exactly where we are. We&#8217;ll\u00a0<br \/>\nput it on the map so you can see. But today we&#8217;re supposed to be starting the Kunasaki trail\u00a0<br \/>\nwhich is a 134-kilometre Buddhist pilgrimage. So yesterday we were in Fukuoka\u00a0<br \/>\nand we took a train to Usa station. &#8216;Man, where are we? Like there&#8217;s nothing here. Well,\u00a0<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re here now. No turning back now.&#8217; And then from there we took a taxi to this\u00a0<br \/>\nJapanese inn which we stayed at last night. Just open my first slate door. This is amazing. Hi. Nice to meet you. Hi. Oh my god, the room. It&#8217;s traditional.\u00a0<br \/>\nTraditional the bamboo. Oh my god, this room is beautiful. Oh my gosh. And this\u00a0<br \/>\nis amazing. The inn is gorgeous traditional Japanese hatami mats. We slept on futons\u00a0<br \/>\nlast night. So silly question, but is this the bed? This is the bed. Are we sleeping on\u00a0<br \/>\none? We each get one. This is our honeymoon. Look. Come on. We can easily sleep on this. They\u00a0<br \/>\nwere super comfortable. We had an onsen before dinner and dinner was an event just in itself. It\u00a0<br \/>\nis the most traditional meal we&#8217;ve had. All the Japanese food is traditional, but it was served\u00a0<br \/>\nin the traditional way where they serve you like a plate of all little tiny bites and they just\u00a0<br \/>\nkind of kept bringing course after course. It was an amazing experience. Highly recommend staying\u00a0<br \/>\nhere even if you don&#8217;t want to hike. But today\u00a0\u00a0 we&#8217;re supposed to be doing a 15 km track. So,\u00a0<br \/>\nwe booked it through Walk Japan. They&#8217;ve been amazing. They gave us these really cool booklets\u00a0<br \/>\nthat are so detailed. They have literally their step-by-step turns for the trail throughout the\u00a0<br \/>\nday. It&#8217;s incredible. So, super happy we booked with them. I&#8217;m excited to do the trek. I would\u00a0<br \/>\nbe more excited if it wasn&#8217;t raining. [Applause] [Music] Okay. Honestly, I feel like every meal on\u00a0<br \/>\nthis truck is going to be an event. All right. You ready? Okay. Oh my god. Oh wow. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever\u00a0<br \/>\nhiked with an umbrella before. But hey, there is a first for everything. So just\u00a0<br \/>\nup ahead of us, that&#8217;s Maggie and Harvey, an lovely Australian couple that we\u00a0<br \/>\nare doing this hike with for the next\u00a0\u00a0 6 days. It&#8217;s so beautiful. It&#8217;s really\u00a0<br \/>\npretty. Look at this. Absolutely amazing. So the stone steps that we are walking up now\u00a0<br \/>\nare said to have been carved by the oni. Oni in Japanese means demon or like ogre, kind\u00a0<br \/>\nof like monster. They&#8217;re very treacherous. [Music]\u00a0\u00a0 These are the tallest Buddha reliefs in\u00a0<br \/>\nall of Japan. They&#8217;re about 8 m tall, potentially also the oldest because they&#8217;re 1,300\u00a0<br \/>\nyears old. So, one of the interesting things is that these sculptures, which are incredible, no\u00a0<br \/>\none really even knows about them. They&#8217;re not on any of the list of things to see when you\u00a0<br \/>\ncome to Japan, even for Japanese people. It&#8217;s uh they&#8217;re kind of unknown outside of this region\u00a0<br \/>\nof Japan. So, even though they&#8217;re such ancient, beautiful sculptures, no one knows\u00a0<br \/>\nabout them, which is crazy. [Music] Welcome to Japan. So, it&#8217;s actually summer\u00a0<br \/>\nin Japan. And even though it&#8217;s raining, I&#8217;m sweating so much in this classic rain coat\u00a0<br \/>\nthat I had. It&#8217;s technically it&#8217;s only like 22\u00b0 today. But 22\u00b0 in the wet is very different to 22\u00b0\u00a0<br \/>\nin the sun. So, I thought I would be cold. Anyway, for the first time ever, Max and I bought some\u00a0<br \/>\nelectrolytes to drink along our hike. Now, I don&#8217;t know how hard this hike is going to be,\u00a0<br \/>\nbut the last hike that we did recently honestly zapped our energy throughout the day so much.\u00a0<br \/>\nAnd so, we thought this time we&#8217;re going to have electrolytes every day to try and keep our energy\u00a0<br \/>\nup and keep us hydrated. And I&#8217;m already sweating so freaking much in my sweat box of a raincoat.\u00a0<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ll start with one and we&#8217;ll see how we go. We have a lot of future outdoorsy\u00a0<br \/>\nplans in next countries, not in Japan, but in other countries. So, we definitely\u00a0<br \/>\nneed to order to get something that we can\u00a0\u00a0 just shove in our bags and fill up whilst\u00a0<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re doing crazy outdoorsy things. [Music] They&#8217;re strawberries. M. Yeah, they&#8217;re raspberries. Yummy. Am I going to die or am I going to eat the\u00a0<br \/>\ndelicious raspberry? [Music] [Music] This is a rough terrain here. [Music] Anyone know what this fruit is?\u00a0<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s actually pretty delicious. [Music] So, I think these guys are here because\u00a0<br \/>\nof the rain and maybe they want to protect what looks to be an electrical thing\u00a0<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s about to be flooded. The rain is picking up big time and now there&#8217;s a\u00a0<br \/>\nbit of a wind. So, going to layer back up. It is raining so much. Oh my\u00a0<br \/>\ngod, this is crazy. What the actual heck are we doing out here?\u00a0<br \/>\nWhy are we not soaking in a hotend? [Music] [Music] Oh my gosh, he is so lit, you guys. I can&#8217;t even. It doesn&#8217;t matter\u00a0<br \/>\nhow much we tell you. It&#8217;s just insane. [Music] It&#8217;s so far gone. It&#8217;s just so far gone. [Music] Oh my god. [Music] So, I believe this little shelter is\u00a0<br \/>\nthe one and only shelter we&#8217;re going\u00a0\u00a0 to find for the entire day. The guide\u00a0<br \/>\nbook recommends to have lunch here. And it&#8217;s probably our only chance to\u00a0<br \/>\nhave lunch without eating a wet lunch. [Music] Wow, that is incredible. We&#8217;re so\u00a0<br \/>\nthick in the jungle. Yeah, this comes up out of nowhere.\u00a0<br \/>\nOut of nowhere. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Got [Music] to be a way to open that. This is much more fun. Hi. So, that was five and a half hours of hiking\u00a0<br \/>\nin the rain. Something we&#8217;ve never done before. 5 and 1\/2 hours of very soggy shoes. Honestly,\u00a0\u00a0 walking in the rain is not that\u00a0<br \/>\nbad. It&#8217;s kind of like romantic. That was amazing. the entire day of drinking\u00a0<br \/>\nin the rain. Although it was we tried to make it romantic. Having wet feet all day not that\u00a0<br \/>\ndesirable. So being able to have a beautiful warm onsand when we get home. Ah the best thing\u00a0<br \/>\never. Now because I&#8217;m alone in here for now I can show you. Tada. Look how gorgeous this onset\u00a0<br \/>\nis. this beautiful bar with this gorgeous window. They also provide some little like moisturizing\u00a0<br \/>\nlotion. I don&#8217;t know, toner, I guess, cleansing stuff. You know, just a few little things, a\u00a0<br \/>\nrazor and whatnot. Hair dryers, of course. Just the essentials. Something very exciting is about\u00a0<br \/>\nto happen. I&#8217;m going to eat dinner. We have to go down. And yes, wearing the uh yucata. So, wearing\u00a0<br \/>\nthe traditional yucata to dinner is a thing. So, we&#8217;re not just going down there in our\u00a0<br \/>\nrobes. It&#8217;s not weird. Also, look at my feet. They make me so happy. All right, follow me. Wow. Wow. Oh my god. They&#8217;ve done it again. I didn&#8217;t think the soy sauce thingy\u00a0<br \/>\ncould get any cuter. So cute. Oh my\u00a0\u00a0 gosh. And this just looks like Wow.\u00a0<br \/>\n15. There&#8217;s 15 things. 15 things. And I could probably tell you what about three of\u00a0<br \/>\nthem were. Do you want anything? Vegetable. Biru. Biru. Biru. You want some? Is that\u00a0<br \/>\ngoing to say biru? You said you said hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Love it. Why is it so sweet? What\u00a0<br \/>\nis that? Oh my gosh. Oh wow. That is incredible. Max and I don&#8217;t eat like fivestar meals that often\u00a0<br \/>\never. This is like a fivestar meal. Like this is like a Michelangar restaurant quality food. Yeah.\u00a0<br \/>\nThis is insane. Steam egg. Steam egg. Okay. Okay. You&#8217;re so cute. Steamed eggs. Oh, but I swear all\u00a0<br \/>\nof these dishes are different to the ones we had last time. They&#8217;re not\u00a0<br \/>\nthe same dishes. Yeah. Soup. Soup. Okay. Long in the floor. We got to\u00a0<br \/>\npick up the pace here. Yeah, I know. We&#8217;re so We&#8217;re like two dishes behind. Jiggly. [Laughter] Oh, some\u00a0<br \/>\nmushrooms in there. Oh my god, this is so good. Hold the spoon. This is so good. Potato. Potato. Oh, okay. Every dish in each\u00a0<br \/>\ncourses is an experience and something we&#8217;ve never eaten before. Like the smell is tiring\u00a0<br \/>\nbecause there&#8217;s so much going on in my brain. Oy. Ooh. Oy. So oy. Super oy. Oy. Oh wow. So this lady, this amazing lady\u00a0<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s been dishing up everything was\u00a0\u00a0 cooking for us. She just has a little cook out\u00a0<br \/>\nthere and she just cooking for the four of us, the other people in the group. And it smells so\u00a0<br \/>\ngood. It does. And that was some good looking beef. Oh my gosh. And they&#8217;re bringing\u00a0<br \/>\nanother course. They&#8217;re bringing another\u00a0\u00a0 course. Oh my god. So bad. So bad. Oh my gosh.\u00a0<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t with how much food they really This is our fifth course. I don&#8217;t know. Who can do\u00a0<br \/>\nanything? Hi. So, [Laughter] this is the kind of place where there&#8217;s been a few in our\u00a0<br \/>\n3 years of travel that we remember and we go, &#8220;Oh my god, I wish we could go back there.\u00a0<br \/>\nRemember when that we stayed here and this\u00a0\u00a0 was amazing and that was amazing.&#8221; This is like\u00a0<br \/>\none of those places where we would want to come back to just to eat an amazing meal here and\u00a0<br \/>\nhave an onsen. Oh, flip it. [Laughter] Okay. Okay. Oh, okay. Too much. Our 17th course. did the best I could. This\u00a0<br \/>\nhas got to be one of the best meal we&#8217;ve had in 30 years of travel. That is amazing. That&#8217;s a\u00a0<br \/>\nwrap on day one. We&#8217;ll see you tomorrow [Music] after about 1.8 to 2 km on the main road and\u00a0<br \/>\nnow we&#8217;re back or soon to be back on the trail. It&#8217;s definitely better than there one. So yeah,\u00a0<br \/>\nlet the sort of trail aspect of day two begin. So since I&#8217;m looking at the half notes for the\u00a0<br \/>\nday, there&#8217;s a vegetation note here that these are Suzuki silverrass which actually back in the\u00a0<br \/>\nday used to be made to make a roof for houses in Japan. This is a treacherous terrain here. Now\u00a0<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re walking our way down the forest, but there&#8217;s a plenty of ribbon to guide us. There&#8217;s no way of\u00a0<br \/>\ngetting lost, but it is a steep downhill on a very mossy area. So, the guide book said be careful\u00a0<br \/>\non ankle twisting mossy rocks like this one right there. Dangerous. You like it? I feel like this\u00a0<br \/>\nis the best section we&#8217;ve had the whole time. Well, there was a few nice spots yesterday as\u00a0<br \/>\nwell, but this kind of like foresty triangle. So nice. Spider webs, snakes, and mossy rocks that\u00a0<br \/>\nare going to twist our ankles. Yeah, that&#8217;s all we need to watch out for. It actually is so nice.\u00a0<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s very pretty. And there&#8217;s an onsen at the end. That was the first one. So, we&#8217;ve reached the outskirt of a town or\u00a0<br \/>\nactually as per the guide a hamlet. But the water of this spring right here is actually rich\u00a0<br \/>\nin magnesium and say to provide energy and good health and many locals fills up the large\u00a0<br \/>\njugs of water to take home as drink water. This is the Yama Ginger Shrine. Oh, and\u00a0<br \/>\nhere we could pay respect to Yama Gani, which is the mountain god, which we should do\u00a0<br \/>\ncuz if this is your first time watching one of\u00a0\u00a0 our videos, definitely go back. We&#8217;ve done\u00a0<br \/>\na lot of hiking. So, Yamagami has protected us a lot in our travels. Yeah, we&#8217;ve done\u00a0<br \/>\nsome pretty cool and epic and adventurous\u00a0\u00a0 and almost dangerous hikes over the time. And\u00a0<br \/>\nthankfully, Touchwood, nothing&#8217;s ever happened. So the guide book says we should offer\u00a0<br \/>\nan auspicious 5 yen coin followed by the Shinto prayer which is two bows, two claps, a\u00a0<br \/>\nprayer and one bow. We did the best with it. [Music]\u00a0\u00a0 Curve left and pass the family grave\u00a0<br \/>\nsite. Navigate your way through bamboo forest. [Music] Love it. Stop freeing. Follow the\u00a0<br \/>\npath to the right of the shrine to continue on. Just ahead, turn left at an intersecting lane.\u00a0<br \/>\nA sign points to Nameshi Dam at a family grave site soon ahead. Follow the curve of the lane\u00a0<br \/>\nleft, then straight on as it descends. Do not climb the steps here to reach Nameshi Dam.\u00a0<br \/>\nAnd what&#8217;s at Nashi Dam? Lunch time. Also, we just made it. This is the halfway point\u00a0<br \/>\nfor today. So, high five everyone. Woohoo. [Music]\u00a0\u00a0 Double shot. [Music] Oh my god, it&#8217;s getting prettier\u00a0<br \/>\nand prettier. [Music] So, we&#8217;re pushing on after our lunch and we&#8217;re\u00a0<br \/>\nmaking our way through a must stone forest, but is so enchanting. I think I&#8217;ve said\u00a0<br \/>\nthis word like 20 times today. But yeah, I think having no rain but still the sound\u00a0<br \/>\nof streams almost everywhere really makes it enchanting. So I mean this the stream is\u00a0<br \/>\nactually the puff as well. I tell we have a full belly. We are way on time. So absolutely\u00a0<br \/>\nno rush. A really really pleasant section. [Music] [Music] As we&#8217;re making our way up this beautiful ridge,\u00a0<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re following a sort of a ancient cobblestone path which is called Ishi Datami. And I&#8217;d love to\u00a0<br \/>\nknow if anyone&#8217;s watching how old those structures are because some of them have like this this\u00a0<br \/>\nsort of built pool. And I don&#8217;t know if it was the water kept for fishes or I don&#8217;t know what\u00a0<br \/>\nthe water was for. So yeah, if anyone knows, I&#8217;d love to know what the purpose of those sort\u00a0<br \/>\nof pools were cuz they look absolutely ancient and this forest looks ancient. [Music] I dare\u00a0<br \/>\nyou to eat one. No. Now Jacqueline and I just set a competition of who spots deers the most.\u00a0<br \/>\nNow I&#8217;m sorry guys, we haven&#8217;t caught anyone on camera. We&#8217;ll get double points for this fast.\u00a0<br \/>\nBut so far we spotted four. Jacqueline has spotted two. I spotted one. And we spotted one together.\u00a0<br \/>\nSo the points are two and a half to Jacqueline, one and a half to be. But game is on. Game on,\u00a0<br \/>\nbaby. Well, after this very enchanting forest, we carry on on a nice trail. And as you can tell,\u00a0<br \/>\nwe came out of it. Not only that, in the distance, there is the ocean, which is not at all what\u00a0<br \/>\nwe expected to see so early in the journey, but yeah, we&#8217;re getting somewhere. Cuz to think\u00a0<br \/>\nthat the end goal is to get on another island that&#8217;s a tiny little ferry away sort of gives you\u00a0<br \/>\nthe perspective that the progress we&#8217;re making. At our lunch spot, there was recommended that\u00a0<br \/>\nwe eat these steamed buns which are supposed to be filled with red bean paste out. And apparently\u00a0<br \/>\nthey are a local specialty in this area. Yeah. So, I actually love the red bean\u00a0<br \/>\npaste. I think it&#8217;s delicious. And now it is the best part of the day,\u00a0<br \/>\nthe onen time. All for a hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Wait. My hands. enjoy your oneness. So, obviously you can&#8217;t normally film this on.\u00a0<br \/>\nSo, luckily there&#8217;s no one in the private on at the moment, but other guests could come\u00a0<br \/>\nin at any moment. I just wanted to give you\u00a0\u00a0 a little tiny glimpse of how beautiful\u00a0<br \/>\nand relaxing and peaceful the ones are. It is such a magical way to end a\u00a0<br \/>\nday of hiking to come to the onsen. [Music] Oh wow. Oh wow. This is a full table. Wow. This looks so delicious. Oh my\u00a0<br \/>\ngosh. There&#8217;s so much to look at. It&#8217;s okay. So cool. Yes. Good morning. It is day three. We&#8217;re very tired\u00a0<br \/>\ntoday. And look at that awful rain. Oh, we&#8217;re going up here somewhere, I think. Up there. Up up\u00a0<br \/>\nup up there somewhere. There&#8217;s actually a mountain that we have to climb first thing this morning.\u00a0<br \/>\nAnyway, we&#8217;re going to go downstairs and enjoy\u00a0\u00a0 breakfast. Dinner here last night. Incredible. We\u00a0<br \/>\nwere kind of tired and we were eating with Maggie and Harvey, so we decided not to proper vlog it.\u00a0<br \/>\nBut delicious. The food on this track has been so good provided by the hotels. Today is also a big\u00a0<br \/>\nday, but we&#8217;ll tell you more about that when we start walking. We&#8217;re going to breakfast with just\u00a0<br \/>\nour socks on because our shoes are still wet from yesterday and we don&#8217;t want to have breakfast\u00a0<br \/>\nwith wet feet cuz that is so horrible. Oh, hi. Look at that beautiful sight right there. M rice. Okay. Okay. Big box for Max. [Music] I&#8217;ll see you tomorrow. Okay. [Music] Beautiful day. It&#8217;s raining still. Today we&#8217;re\u00a0<br \/>\ngoing to be hiking 18 km. Apparently the first part is the most challenging. It&#8217;s 4 km directly\u00a0<br \/>\nup a steep hill. I&#8217;m looking forward to it. Are you? Yeah. We haven&#8217;t had much of a challenge yet.\u00a0<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s true. So far, the days have been like not\u00a0\u00a0 short, you know, 16 km days, but they haven&#8217;t been\u00a0<br \/>\nparticularly challenging. So, today is according to the guide a challenging day. Oh, breakfast\u00a0<br \/>\nby the way. Divine. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Wow, this is so cool. Very cool. So,\u00a0<br \/>\nwe&#8217;ve come to these red Tory gates, which are kind of somewhat like the ones that\u00a0<br \/>\nyou have in Kyoto, but obviously those ones\u00a0\u00a0 are famous and have a million people. We&#8217;re\u00a0<br \/>\nin the middle of the jungle and there is no one here. This is so pretty. Really is like that\u00a0<br \/>\npilgrimage aspect of all the shrine you&#8217;re seeing. Oh yeah. I just saw it. It&#8217;s in those bushes over\u00a0<br \/>\nthere. And at 12:00 the went left. Oh my god. Oh, there&#8217;s a whole bunch of them. Oh my gosh.\u00a0<br \/>\nSo, we saw like three deer up in the bush. But obviously they&#8217;re so quick. They&#8217;re so hard to\u00a0<br \/>\ncapture on camera. But that means I&#8217;ve seen seven. If this is not the cutest toilet you&#8217;ve ever\u00a0<br \/>\nseen, I honestly don&#8217;t know what is. But also, they have this which releases water to\u00a0<br \/>\nwash your hands. How cool is that? And they even had tissue in there. So, thank\u00a0<br \/>\nyou Japanese people. That&#8217;s so nice. Well, you just never know when uh you just\u00a0<br \/>\ngoing to need to practice your golf swing. Bang. Oh my gosh, it&#8217;s hot, guys. We&#8217;re climbing\u00a0<br \/>\nup so steep up the Mount Inomia this morning. Oh my god. Yes, I am wearing the same clothes\u00a0<br \/>\nas I wore yesterday. But just to let you know, we&#8217;ve washed everything thoroughly with soap\u00a0<br \/>\novernight. I haven&#8217;t I did not wash Oh, she\u00a0\u00a0 didn&#8217;t. I didn&#8217;t anything. Everything I&#8217;m wearing\u00a0<br \/>\nis spanky clean, including my underwear. [Music] standing rock. [Music] Wow, this is kicking my butt. I knew we were\u00a0<br \/>\ngoing to have a challenge this morning, but little update on our electrolytes as well. First\u00a0<br \/>\ntime we&#8217;ve ever used them on a hike and I honestly think that they do something. Uh yesterday I was\u00a0<br \/>\nfeeling pretty lethargic and not really into it. And then we poured some electrolytes into our\u00a0<br \/>\nwater, had a little bit, and I honestly within minutes felt so much more revitalized\u00a0<br \/>\nand energized. Could have been placebo, could have just been like the more we got into\u00a0<br \/>\nthe hike, the easier it became. You know how it is\u00a0\u00a0 when you first start. But I I&#8217;m going to go with\u00a0<br \/>\nis the electrolytes and they actually do help. So, I think we&#8217;re probably going to start taking\u00a0<br \/>\nelectrolytes for our adventures. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s a good thing, but I felt less hungry,\u00a0<br \/>\nwhich gave me more energy throughout the day\u00a0\u00a0 without having to stop as much. Mhm. So, yeah,\u00a0<br \/>\ngood point on that. Yeah, steeper and narrow trail condition persists. Remain close to mountain\u00a0<br \/>\nside and avoid stepping on the edge where it&#8217;s\u00a0\u00a0 possible. My calves on fire, but potentially\u00a0<br \/>\nwe are about to reach the top. Wow. Oh my gosh. Look at that. Dang. Well done. Wow. That is stunning. Wow. Let me just catch my breath\u00a0<br \/>\nfor a minute. So cute. Iukubu,\u00a0\u00a0 a place with a view. I love it. It&#8217;s nice to do\u00a0<br \/>\na challenge. I mean, we had to hike. We not Yeah, that was honestly really good. I&#8217;m so\u00a0<br \/>\nglad that that was the challenge that\u00a0\u00a0 it was. And it was really cool in\u00a0<br \/>\nthe forest there as well. [Music] Well, that is the biggest challenge of\u00a0<br \/>\nthe day done. And it&#8217;s only 11:00 a.m. So, we have about another 13 km to go until we make\u00a0<br \/>\nit to our onsen tonight. The one thing to look forward to every day. I agree. We should remove\u00a0<br \/>\nour rain coats. It is so steamy. But also, shout out to Maggie and Harvey. They are in their like\u00a0<br \/>\nearly to mid70s and they are killing this hike. And apparently they do hiking all over the\u00a0<br \/>\nworld which is so impressive if we are still hiking like this in our 70s. And it just goes to\u00a0<br \/>\nshow you guys that age shouldn&#8217;t hold you back. Wow. It&#8217;s mystical rain. [Music] I\u00a0<br \/>\nlove the statues. They&#8217;re so cool. We also just saw another deer, our eighth\u00a0<br \/>\ndeer that we&#8217;ve spotted, but every time they hear us way before and we just see them\u00a0<br \/>\nrunning away, so we can never capture them. [Music]\u00a0\u00a0 Time to see what&#8217;s in those magic box we got\u00a0<br \/>\ndelivered this morning. What&#8217;s this? Oh my gosh, I dropped my chopsticks. But look how cute\u00a0<br \/>\nthis is. This is like unwrapping a little presents. I know. That little bow is amazing.\u00a0<br \/>\nWo! It&#8217;s many layers. Yes. Wow. Wow. Got layer number one, layer number two. Wow. And\u00a0<br \/>\nthat&#8217;s for today and tomorrow. Yum. Happy. Mhm. Happy. And when we were at our hotel this\u00a0<br \/>\nmorning, the wonderful angel came and dropped off these bento boxes for us. They weren&#8217;t\u00a0<br \/>\nprovided by the hotel. And she told us that she&#8217;s actually going to be making our lunch\u00a0<br \/>\nfor us tomorrow as well. So, we&#8217;re going to\u00a0\u00a0 have two of these amazingly delicious benjo\u00a0<br \/>\nboxes, which makes me very happy. [Music] [Music] The map says it&#8217;s a road less\u00a0<br \/>\ntraveled. Definitely feels like it. warning the other deer. We got a head\u00a0<br \/>\nwarning the other deer that we&#8217;re here. They&#8217;re calling to each other cuz\u00a0<br \/>\nthey ran in opposite directions. That was so beautiful. We caught that.\u00a0<br \/>\nYou guys saw it for the first time. Oh, that was the most beautiful part of this\u00a0<br \/>\nentire track. Like getting to watch them\u00a0\u00a0 eating and then look at us. We got\u00a0<br \/>\nit. I love animals. That is so cool. Well, this is either a terrible idea or refreshing\u00a0<br \/>\nidea. Look how cold this water is. It&#8217;s made like the condensation on the bottle. Bottoms up.\u00a0<br \/>\nTastes delightful. Tastes good, huh? Yeah. Go. Oh my god. Wa! That would have been bad.\u00a0<br \/>\nWa! Go. [Music] So, the last shrine we just passed marked the halfway point of the\u00a0<br \/>\nday, and that was 5 hours into our trail. So, it is a big day. So, I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s going\u00a0<br \/>\nto be as long on the back half considering the biggest ascends and descends we&#8217;re in the first\u00a0<br \/>\nhalf, but uh day three is definitely a big day. But we have an onsent to look forward to as\u00a0<br \/>\nusual, but still have another 9K to go. Yeah, some stuff living there for sure.\u00a0<br \/>\nYeah, I know. Yeah. Oh my god. Oh, oh god. On the right. Hard to easy to miss,\u00a0<br \/>\nwhich we did. Which we did. So the trail is somewhere near. So this ah we missed the\u00a0<br \/>\nribbon right here. Gosh. Lucky I&#8217;m here. I think the toll of the two previous day hiking\u00a0<br \/>\nand today&#8217;s pretty steep ascent. Starting to get take its toll on us. I&#8217;m exhausted. Yeah, I\u00a0<br \/>\nwould love a nap right now. Yeah, but but we are doing really good. We&#8217;re about an hour and\u00a0<br \/>\na half to almost 2 hours ahead of schedule. So, we&#8217;re obviously crushing it. So, we have no\u00a0<br \/>\nrush. Yeah. But we&#8217;ve still got like 8 km. We still have a long way to go. It&#8217;s okay.\u00a0<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s fine. It&#8217;s totally fine. It&#8217;s fine. the river on our path. [Music] So, because Max has to carry all the camera\u00a0<br \/>\nequipment, it means I have to carry all of our water. But the difference is Max has a\u00a0<br \/>\nproper backpack with a waist strap and all I have is one that just sits on my shoulders. And\u00a0<br \/>\nthe last two days it hasn&#8217;t bothered me much, but today definitely starting to feel\u00a0<br \/>\na bit more tired because it&#8217;s just a tougher hike today. But if you plan\u00a0<br \/>\non carrying a lot of camera equipment,\u00a0\u00a0 definitely get one with a\u00a0<br \/>\nproper waist strap. Wider. Oh my gosh. What shelter spots we&#8217;re enjoying our beautiful,\u00a0<br \/>\nyou know, rest area. with a little snack. We know there&#8217;s a vending machine. We can see it\u00a0<br \/>\nsince we sat down, but we haven&#8217;t had a chance\u00a0\u00a0 of having hot drink yet because there hasn&#8217;t been\u00a0<br \/>\nany surprisingly. And we think this one has it. And we&#8217;re having those delicious cookies\u00a0<br \/>\nwe bought from that lunch yesterday. Yeah,\u00a0\u00a0 way more than we should be having. Yeah, way more\u00a0<br \/>\nwe should be having. But it&#8217;s very exciting. They might have a hot coffee in there. So, let&#8217;s go\u00a0<br \/>\ninvestigate. That&#8217;s a milk tea sold out. Oh, you mother. Do you want one still? One. Yeah.\u00a0<br \/>\nNo. Oh, this one&#8217;s a flat white. Try that one as well. Got one. Go one each. Why not? What are\u00a0<br \/>\nwe doing trying to stinge ourselves? We&#8217;ve been bloody hiking all day. Share one. Oh my god. How\u00a0<br \/>\nlame is that? Oh, by the way, guys, if you want, you can buy us a coffee. A bag. Just in case\u00a0<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re wondering what the bathrooms look like, look how clean and nice they are. And they have\u00a0<br \/>\ntoilet paper with more toilet paper. Amazing. Honestly, some of the best public toilets.\u00a0<br \/>\nThis is just in the middle of nowhere and I very much appreciate it. So the goal now\u00a0<br \/>\nis to push on for the last 5 and a halfk and make it at the onsen or the hotel by 4:00.\u00a0<br \/>\nThe only reason why we want to make it by\u00a0\u00a0 four is so we have enough time to appreciate\u00a0<br \/>\nthe onen. It&#8217;s not a race. It&#8217;s not a race. [Music] He&#8217;s like, &#8220;What are you doing? [Music] When you&#8217;re like in a place like this, we&#8217;re in\u00a0<br \/>\nthe valley. We have those beautiful temples. We got these beautiful rice patties over here. I&#8217;ve\u00a0<br \/>\ngot an umbrella. Walking in the rain is just like it&#8217;s not that bad. It&#8217;s kind of peaceful and\u00a0<br \/>\nmeditative. Okay, that&#8217;s the trail that you ignore. that we&#8217;re supposed to ignore cuz we\u00a0<br \/>\nhave to go find our accommodation. So, it seems like there&#8217;s a couple of times where we have to\u00a0<br \/>\ngo off the trail for this hike. [Music] Super. That&#8217;s so adorable. [Applause] [Music]\u00a0<br \/>\nWow. They view right at the end is just look at that. Oh my god. How epic is that? [Music] We have powered through this last\u00a0<br \/>\n5k and we&#8217;ve just made it. 408, baby. Oh yes. What a day. Eight 8 hours. We\u00a0<br \/>\ncrushed it. Are we left? Yeah. Exactly 8 hours. Just after 8. Wow. Just after 4. 8 hours. 19k.\u00a0<br \/>\nAnd now you know all what time it is for. [Music] Oh, so adorable. I am so in love with the Japanese\u00a0<br \/>\nstyle rooms. They&#8217;re just so quaint. Magnificent. This is nice. This is amazing. This is\u00a0<br \/>\nsuch a great reward at the end of a hike. I&#8217;m so glad we&#8217;re not in a tent.\u00a0<br \/>\nAnd now it&#8217;s time for the best part. [Music] Another amazing onsense tonight. This one is\u00a0<br \/>\nan outdoor and it actually has a cold plunge pool. So, I&#8217;ve been alternating cold water to hot\u00a0<br \/>\nwater. When I first arrived, there was a lot of people here. It was actually so busy. So, I don&#8217;t\u00a0<br \/>\nknow if the hotel has a lot of guests or maybe I&#8217;m thinking the village that we walked through\u00a0<br \/>\nto get here might actually a lot of people come here to use the onen because it&#8217;s available.\u00a0<br \/>\nUh, so yeah, very busy. But now, once again, I&#8217;m completely alone. So, I took this quick\u00a0<br \/>\nopportunity to show you what it&#8217;s like. Um, they even have a sauna in this one, which is amazing.\u00a0<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s been so nice. But now it is time for dinner. [Music] Raining again and uh packing again.\u00a0<br \/>\nand uh blow drying our shoes again. So, today is an interesting day. We&#8217;re actually going\u00a0<br \/>\nto be taking a ferry across to another island, a tiny little island, which is going to be\u00a0<br \/>\nwhere we&#8217;ll be sleeping tonight. But first, we have to hike there. And before we do\u00a0<br \/>\nthat, we also need to get some breakfast. I have been looking forward to\u00a0<br \/>\ntaking one of those Japanese taxis.\u00a0\u00a0 They always open up the door. He was so cool. Grandpa Joel. Hello. [Music] Well,\u00a0<br \/>\na very misty morning to start, but at least it has stopped raining, which\u00a0<br \/>\nis nice. So, we don&#8217;t have to start off with\u00a0\u00a0 our rain jackets and everything on. Oh my\u00a0<br \/>\ngosh. right into it today. Starting the day with a spicy little uphill. I&#8217;m already\u00a0<br \/>\nout of breath. We&#8217;ve only hiked 100 m. So, our total distance today is supposed to\u00a0<br \/>\nbe about 14 km. The challenge is that we have to make it in time for the 355 ferry.\u00a0<br \/>\nto get across the Himashima Island. Oh, great. That&#8217;s only 6 hours to do 14 km.\u00a0<br \/>\nAh, okay. It&#8217;ll be fine. It&#8217;ll be fine. It&#8217;s all this cloud. This should\u00a0<br \/>\nall be the ocean with a view. A view where we&#8217;re sleeping\u00a0<br \/>\ntonight. Very nice. [Music] Today I feel like I&#8217;m on set for the Twilight\u00a0<br \/>\nmovie cuz you know how in the movie they&#8217;d always go into the forest and it would always be\u00a0<br \/>\nmisty and like a little bit of drizzly rain in that movie. That&#8217;s exactly what we have today.\u00a0<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s like I mean if that&#8217;s not Twilight. Wow. This is the five tier pagod. Now the guide says\u00a0<br \/>\nsomething about this. Let me read it. So the gorinto gun the fantastic collection of pagoda\u00a0<br \/>\nlike gravestones is testament to the power of the original temple complex. Each tier has a\u00a0<br \/>\nmeaning. The top one is space. Then it&#8217;s wind. And it&#8217;s fire and it&#8217;s water and it&#8217;s\u00a0<br \/>\nearth. This is so eerie with the mist. So, but it&#8217;s also beautiful. It&#8217;s eerie and beautiful\u00a0<br \/>\nat the same time. You could never find something like this unless you go to some crazy destination\u00a0<br \/>\nlike this. So, can&#8217;t recreate that anywhere else. Look. Oh, cat. There&#8217;s an owl. [Music] Okay, so now we have an optional detour\u00a0<br \/>\nto a cave. It is another 3 and 1\/2 km in the opposite direction that we need to\u00a0<br \/>\ngo and then we&#8217;ll be coming back past\u00a0\u00a0 here and heading onto. So, it says it&#8217;s\u00a0<br \/>\nnot too challenging, although it is a bit of an uphill. We have time. It&#8217;s still\u00a0<br \/>\npretty early, so we&#8217;re going to make that [Music]\u00a0\u00a0 This uh 1 and 1\/2 km to the cave feels like\u00a0<br \/>\nfurther than that. Even though today isn&#8217;t necessarily hard, it feels more difficult\u00a0<br \/>\njust because we&#8217;re a bit tired, I think. [Music]\u00a0\u00a0 Ah, and we finally made it.\u00a0<br \/>\nSketchy. Oh, this is super sketchy. Oh god, I don&#8217;t like that. That\u00a0<br \/>\nwasn&#8217;t fun. [Music] [Applause] [Music] We made it. Look at this. Look at this guys.\u00a0<br \/>\nLook at our view. So beautiful. [Music] So it&#8217;s almost lunchtime. So, I think that\u00a0<br \/>\nthis beautiful view from the cave here is the perfect spot to have lunch. And the same\u00a0<br \/>\nlady that made lunch for us yesterday actually brought lunch to our hotel again. Tada! But it&#8217;s\u00a0<br \/>\ntotally different this time. This time we&#8217;ve got some little snacks. This one is delicious.\u00a0<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve already eaten it. That&#8217;s Max&#8217;s obviously. Can&#8217;t see in there yet, but there&#8217;s\u00a0<br \/>\nsomething in here. And then she made\u00a0\u00a0 us these massive sandwiches. We got two of\u00a0<br \/>\nthose, but they&#8217;re different flavors. Oh, looks like a burger. And we also have this\u00a0<br \/>\ncute little packet of fruit. So nice. [Music] Okay, let&#8217;s go to the port. Ah, Maggie and Harvey left us a little a\u00a0<br \/>\nlittle treat and a note that says if you need sustenance. No carrot. Don&#8217;t have any\u00a0<br \/>\ncarrots though, Maggie and Harvey. Where are we supposed to? I think we&#8217;re just going\u00a0<br \/>\nto follow this route of exploring [Music] this one. Let&#8217;s crack it open. M. So good. Japan\u00a0<br \/>\nhonestly just cracks me up. The fact that we&#8217;re in this tiny town in the middle of nowhere and we\u00a0<br \/>\nget an ice cold coffee from a vending machine for two bucks. There&#8217;s no bar, no restaurants,\u00a0<br \/>\nnothing. But they are vending machines. Woohoo! We made it. There&#8217;s Alan. Oh my god.\u00a0<br \/>\nIs that the island? Wo, that looks eerie. Wow. It does, doesn&#8217;t it? Cuz it&#8217;s like shrouded in\u00a0<br \/>\ncloud. Uh well yeah that&#8217;s it. Off to the next excursion and fairy ride which uh for two people\u00a0<br \/>\nuh there and [Music] [Applause] [Music] last crazy. We were in deep forest just 24 hours\u00a0<br \/>\nago and now we&#8217;re here at the boat. [Music] Wow. Sometimes I wonder when Max and I travel like\u00a0<br \/>\nhow do we end up in these places? [Music] Welcome to Himashima. Wow. And apparently there&#8217;s a lot\u00a0<br \/>\nof specialtity. It&#8217;s actually quite a busy little island. Surprisingly, apparently there&#8217;s a lot of\u00a0<br \/>\ncats on this island and it&#8217;s much more built up than we had expected. So very eager to see a bit\u00a0<br \/>\nof this island. We have like less than about 20 hours. So, let&#8217;s make the most of it. I&#8217;m going to\u00a0<br \/>\nmake the most of that onsen. Hello. Hello. Hello. This is just amazing. This bag\u00a0<br \/>\nsystem is just wow. So pretty. This is probably the most\u00a0<br \/>\ntraditional looking home of them all. [Music] Oh my gosh, I love it\u00a0<br \/>\nso much. Wow, how cool is this? So, where we&#8217;re staying tonight is probably the\u00a0<br \/>\nmost unique stay yet. It&#8217;s actually a homeay. So, we&#8217;re staying in a traditional\u00a0<br \/>\nJapanese home of a family. So, tonight, Max and I actually get to onend\u00a0<br \/>\ntogether. So, instead of one of the big communal onsens that we&#8217;ve had at the ins that\u00a0<br \/>\nwe&#8217;ve been in, because this is actually a home, we have this little private bath. So cute. So,\u00a0<br \/>\nyou might think that a bath together is super romantic, but we&#8217;ve just spent 4 days with\u00a0<br \/>\neach other walking. Just walking. And now we&#8217;re really tired. So really, we both\u00a0<br \/>\njust want to fall asleep in this bath, and it&#8217;s not romantic at all. It&#8217;s more like,\u00a0<br \/>\n&#8220;Don&#8217;t touch me. You&#8217;re taking up too much space.&#8221; Anyway, we have probably another amazing dinner\u00a0<br \/>\nat this guest house. Apparently, the prowess, the cooking progress of our proprie is renowned.\u00a0<br \/>\nSo very finish our onset and go to dinner. Since we arrived a little early at the accommodation\u00a0<br \/>\nwe got itchy feet and uh after on before dinner we decided to go let me let me get Max got eat.\u00a0<br \/>\nI was very happy relaxing in my Yakata. This is actually a very beautiful island and I it would be\u00a0<br \/>\nnice to spend a full day here. If you were going to do this trip, if you&#8217;re watching this video\u00a0<br \/>\nas a guide, uh we would recommend maybe taking the latest ferry possible tomorrow and doing\u00a0<br \/>\nthat or just spending an extra night on the island so you could actually cycle around and see\u00a0<br \/>\neverything. Unfortunately, tomorrow we&#8217;re going to be making a very long trip to Kyoto, so we won&#8217;t\u00a0<br \/>\nget to see as much as Himosima as we would have liked. But this small little taste is quite nice.\u00a0<br \/>\nI think we&#8217;ll earn ourselves a couple bruskies. [Music] So good. [Music] Good one. This be such hot win. Actually,\u00a0<br \/>\nit&#8217;s really good. Good morning. Final day. Final rainy day. We actually considered\u00a0<br \/>\nyesterday climbing that mountain this morning. I was pretty set on just not doing it\u00a0<br \/>\ntoday, but uh then we woke up. It&#8217;s raining. Our last traditional Japanese thingy. I\u00a0<br \/>\nknow. We also have to pack our explosion. So, now that we are done with the actual hiking,\u00a0\u00a0 we have to try and fit everything back to where\u00a0<br \/>\nit belongs, which hopefully will be easier. Well, beautiful people, that was a long one.\u00a0<br \/>\nThank you for watching. We have loved this hike with Japan. It was absolutely amazing. It&#8217;s\u00a0<br \/>\njust that you would never get anywhere this remote without doing like a trek or something like\u00a0<br \/>\nthis and staying in those little traditional ins and the local hotels and trying like the really\u00a0<br \/>\ntraditional food and seeing all those shrines without a single other person at the shrine\u00a0<br \/>\nwas amazing. It was so much more than a hike. We obviously loved walking with our compatriots.\u00a0<br \/>\nSo, thank you so much for this as well. Maggie and Harvey were great. They actually made the\u00a0<br \/>\ntrip really enjoyable and made it better. Yeah,\u00a0\u00a0 if anyone of you is interested, we&#8217;ll leave a\u00a0<br \/>\nlink. We highly recommend. They do tracks all over Japan. They don&#8217;t just do the Kunasaki\u00a0<br \/>\nTrail. They also do the very famous Kamanoo Codoro Trail as well. So, honestly, they\u00a0<br \/>\nmade this trip so seamless and easy. and I would highly recommend doing a trip with\u00a0<br \/>\nthem if you&#8217;re a little bit confused about how to trek around Japan and you just want a little bit\u00a0<br \/>\nof support with them. Yeah. Yeah. It was great.\u00a0\u00a0 We&#8217;ll put a link in the description below to them.\u00a0<br \/>\nAnyway, but we&#8217;re not done with Japan today. We are making our way all the way up to Kyoto. So,\u00a0<br \/>\nif you are curious about what to do in Kyoto, uh stick around, subscribe. It&#8217;s free.
