Mononoke Forest & real-life “Your Name” lake 🌱 2 days in Nagano | Japan travel vlog

🌿Let's escape the summer heat in Nagano! Walk through a dreamy "Mononoke Forest," then watch the sun set over Lake Suwa (the real-life inspiration for Lake Itomori in Your Name). And explore Suwa, which truly feels like a hidden gem, with its historic post-town charm, ancient Zen gardens, and sacred shrines. Hope you enjoy wandering along with us! 🍧 🍵 [Please turn on the caption in the video settings to enjoy the vlog!] 🎬 Filming dates: July 30–31, 2026 🎞️Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:19 Shirakoma Forest 07:02 Momonoke Forest 11:36 Tateishi Park 16:06 Goju Ban17:39 Jiunji Temple 22:10 Manji Stone Buddha 24:29 Suwa Taisha Shimosha Harumiya 26:28 Fushimiya Residence 28:46 Honjin Iwanami House 📍Spots we visited (In order of appearance) Shirakoma Forest: https://maps.app.goo.gl/HLwMb4BzFNToz...
