I'm your host, Emma and I'm Natasha and we are in Mexico.

So we are starting off in nickel.

But we're actually on a five day tour as part of a new tour deal package thing offered by Japan Post group.

So this video is actually sponsored by Japan Post.

So the new tour package includes a five day tour, a seven day tour or a 10 day tour.

And we've had to look at all these packages and we've picked out some places that we think would be really good to visit.

So we've just made our own little tour in the next five days.

But for the next two days we're gonna be traveling through Turkey and Fukushima.

Okay, so we're pretty much good to go.

Let's go to our local post office and see if we can get some more information.

Awesome recommendations.

Sounds good.

Let's go.

Mhm.

Look at all these.

There's so many different drawings of all the postcards.

What is this?

Oh, it's a very famous discovery.

Yes, we are.

Okay, how can I help?

We received some free gift tickets.

Could we exchange it first?

I think what we can.

Again, I have no idea.

It's gonna be a surprise.

Cute.

I hope it's cute too.

Were on a trip together because we are friends.

You can get this postcard.

I thank you.

So do you know about landscape stamps.

Okay.

Okay.

So when you send a postcard or a letter, there's the step and then there's also a step that they do that shows the date it was sent.

Oh yeah.

Okay.

So actually those ones around here look really beautiful and they're kind of like art.

So I want to get one of the postcard.

Can we get a Okay.

Oh yeah.

Okay.

So if you are unable to speak japanese, they actually have this tablet available where you can just tap and speak and it will translate for you.

Where do you recommend?

Oh wow.

Should we also asking for some food recommendations?

Yes.

Do you have any food recommendations around the area?

Yes.

These are our recommendations for you.

Hopefully skin.

Oh that sounds good.

Okay, how do we get there?

We are here.

Okay.

It is restaurant.

It's really close by.

All right.

Yeah.

Three minutes.

Three minutes.

Okay.

Nice, easy.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank a Alright.

We just finished a quick lunch and now we are at our first stop.

So this place was actually built in 766 so it's really old.

But originally it had a thatched roof and over time it's gotten bigger and bigger and bigger and now it's this huge, beautiful building what you see today.

So now this ginger is also considered a national treasure and if you do to get the chance to go inside.

Oh wow!

The inside, it's super beautiful.

There are three days inside and they're golden and they're huge and beautiful.

They are huge.

But they look majestically beautiful.

It smells so good.

Inside.

The first thing I say when she walked in, I was like wow, this place smells nice but the walls are all red and shiny and like there are so many things to kind of observe and read about when you're in there.

So I think if you do get a chance you should totally check out the inside that we check it out around this area.

There are two other shrines nearby, so I think we should all just check it out at the same time.

Okay.

Okay.

Mhm But what?

It was just not having it.

She's just tired already.

It's our first day I'm giving you guys a friend service.

You're welcome.

Did you know that?

You can't actually walk down the middle of a temples walkway because that's where the gods walk.

It's okay if you do it's okay if you make mistakes, but you're not a god, you're no one.

Mhm Yeah.

Yeah, so currently we're at Harrah's and ginger is the shrine behind us and Allison is dedicated to the three mountain deities of the area.

So I think for Tarzan represents one of the mountains.

This right here is considered one of the most holy and sacred lakes and streams just because the water comes straight from the back of the mountain, we're just gonna go wash your hands, wash your hands and make ourselves pure uh just before you go, let me show you these trees, this is the parent and child trees.

Oh yeah kosugi tree.

Yeah Oye is parents call is child insignias like cedar tree.

Also when you come to Japan, you gotta try oh yeah hold on.

Which is parent child bowl of rice where you have chicken and an egg on top of rice.

Okay guys, everything closes really early here.

All the shrines closes at five p.m. For running a little bit late five minutes, five minutes to cover the shrine to let it go, go, go.

We made it, we made it.

And what you see behind us is one of the most famous and largest shrines in all of me.

Yeah, it's Tasha go shrine and this is where we're going to see the monkeys.

I've never seen them before.

So scene, let's get a look at that.

So if you didn't know Tosha was, shrine is a giant shrine entirely dedicated to the first, there was a bee on your hair and it flew away.

There was a B.

It was like an orange thing and I didn't think this entire shrine is dedicated to the first chagrin of pain and there's actually a cat here.

The moody nickel, It's a little carving or engraving of the cats and it is a sleeping cat and it protects the grave of the sugar as you can see the grounds are really huge and everything is so beautiful.

So much gold and here we have the famous three monkeys here.

Hear no evil.

See no evil, speak no evil to the stories of the most famous and important moralities and just hear what I want to remember and there's a lot of merchandise around here for the three monkeys.

So if you're into the three months, but actually they're eight monkeys.

Yeah, there's eight of them.

I didn't expect going all around the building monkeys, but only three are famous.

Just like, why did I hire these people?

We saw all the temples, We did a lot of running.

I'm tired.

I can see that.

But don't worry because right now we're gonna go grab some dinner.

Sounds good.

Hey guys, that's the end of day one.

Unfortunately, somehow Emma has kate somewhere.

So it's just me ending the video.

We're looking forward to lots of funds more on day two in Fukushima.

So I'll see you in the morning.

Morning, Sorry, I was asleep for the Outro last night.

My bad, go, go, go, go.

Alright.

So we've made it to Fukushima.

So now we're in a place called O.

T do ca, which is a beautiful little village made up of houses that are recreated to look like the houses from the Edo period.

So a lot of thatched roofs, a lot of words, it's beautiful.

Once you're here, you can really feel the vibes and just one look at it.

It feels like you've been transported back in time.

Yeah.

And there's a lot of things that you can do here.

You can get a lot of traditional goods.

There's crafts.

There's a lot of stores and also you can get a thing called negi soba which is soba noodles which you eat with a long leak.

It's a very interesting thing.

It's very fun.

But yeah, very unique.

And now we've reached the end of the main street and we've come a little flat upstairs and we've reached the viewpoint which you can see the entire view of the village.

Yeah, extremely beautiful.

It's so beautiful.

I'm going to enjoy our time in Fukushima and we're going to go to the next spot we are eating machine.

I got the salmon and I got the one with the little white baits in it.

It looks super delicious.

It's being served with other things that are famous in the area.

As you walk up to it.

This is Japan post post.

I want to post these up at the castle.

I hear that there's post boxes near the castle sitting a job.

He's a special postal box.

Oh, okay, cool.
