- Hey everyone, good morning it's Micaela.

Adverbs of manner

I'm actually inside of Kansai International Airport,

I visited Wakayama last year for an Ninja project

So today, I'm gonna head out back to Wakayama

to Kudoyama Town and check out Mount Koya

in the Sengoku period, we're starting out our journey

in Kudoyama Town, at the base of the spiritual Mount Koya

Over the next three days, our journey will take us

from the bottom of the mountain to an overnight stay

So now, we've arrived at Kudoyama station

It's a very, very serene, very "inaka" (countryside).

They say that the population of Kudoyama Town

is only about 4000 people, so it's not very big.

what they have going on around here, wee!

So, Kudoyama Town is very proud of its historic connection

For those of you who are interested in the Japanese history,

it is said that the Sanada clan was exiled to Kudoyama Town

known as the greatest Samurai battle of all time

that ultimately pitted the East against the West.

The Sanada clan later fought during the siege of Osaka,

15 years later, where they were ultimately killed in battle.

Their story and their history are deeply intertwined

After a quick lunch, I headed over to Kanazawa Juo-Ken

how to make Japanese confectionary sweets.

and I'm about to wash my hands and I'm going to learn

how to make Japanese sweets in this cute little factory.

Cooking experiences are some of my favorite things to do

when traveling because they really open you up

to different cultures in a really immersive way.

Even living in Japan, I'm not so confident working

but these step-by-step instructions were so easy to follow

and we have arrived at our final destination,

final destination and we're here at Kuwaraku

which is basically oshizushi pressed inside

where guests can stay overnight, which is pretty cool.

In a small town like this, you have to be versatile

Anyway, we're already starting our lesson.

We're gonna learn how to make kaki no ha sushi.

And, I'm just gonna hop in here and join.

for a bright orange fruit called the persimmon.

In kakinohasushi, the fish is first preserved

in a very strong vinegar and then wrapped in

the giant persimmon leaf and left overnight.

and wrapping the sushi allows it to stay good

Making it the perfect snack to take on a pilgrimage

through Mount Koya tomorrow and it's gonna be like

our little bento packed lunch and I'm so excited to try it

Can you see that mist forming in the air?

But, it is 7:30 a.m. and we're just packing up our stuff.

there's some really amazing historic shrines up there
