      Funny that you say this, because they actually see the two as being distinctly different spaces. If you have a look at their cities this becomes starkly cclear, as almost everything is cemented even the rivers and there is a very clear dividing line between space for humanbeings and space for nature.

    Hi Rachel & Jun
    Do you know the story of Mr Ryoji Sato who was the bus conductor between Nagoya and Kanazawa and devoted to planting the cherry blossom trees along his bus route from Nagoya to Kanazawa by his own expenses. He had planted almost 2000 cherryblossom trees for his short life(he died 47 years old). His dream was A Tunnel of Cherry Blossom from Pacific Ocean to The Sea of Japan.
    Sakura-Michi Nature Run 250km takes place respecting Mr Ryoji Sato´s spirit every year in April.
    It starts from Nagoya Castle, Gifu, Seki, Gujo Hachiman, Shirotori, Shougawa-Sakura, Shirakawa Go, Gokayama, and goal is Kenrokuen-Kanazawa, time limit is 36 hours. Running route is amazingly beautiful and gorgeous, very clean water of Nagara River, small mountain towns, villages and of course mountains. And Shirakawago which is Unesco Heritage site! And Takaya which is very famous of Takayama Festival is not far from Shirakawago.
    I participated to Sakura-Michi Nature Run 250km in April butin this year I couldn´t finish it, I had to retire at 241 km because of my back problem and I couldn´t run at all anymore(I have finished it three times within 36 hours). I´ll revenge it next time.
    So I really recommend to Mr Ryoji Sato´s route from Nagoya to Kenrokuen Kanazawa via Shirakawago. The route is really gorgeous.

      In many parts of Japan it is rude to walk and eat at the same time unless if you are in a market, and you are supposed to carry the trash along with you and dispose it at your home or hotel. The clean streets make individual pieces of trash stand out and deter people from littering. As a result, the gutters are filled almost entirely of rainwater instead of filthy trash water, and fish can move in. ^w^

    "Gujo Hachiman" is where my parents were born.
    When I was a child, I spend almost all of the Summer Vacation there.
    One thing I was surprised was that no one locked the doors of the houses.
    I said "It's dangerous !", but Hachiman people (Hachimanian?) said
    "Why? no one take anything".
    It's so safe at that time.
    Also, one impressive dialect is "DASHIKAN" meaing "NO".
    I wonder if it is still used in daily life, but senior people may recognize it,
    and say "How did you know that?"
    Hope all the people visiting "Gujo Hachiman" have a Good Time there.

      I honestly think to move there when I'm getting older. Despite, on a positive way this place is heaven and very clean. But on negative way, I can't speak Japanese and how to live in their culture. I've seen a lot of Rachel and Jun's Vlogs where they went to wan wan land, koi land, and even taking their cats to walk and also fox land. It was amazing, and sometimes I always wanted to pay a visit, but can't. Which is now, I'm at Japan for my collage and have dorms and learn Japanese! I was very concern about people, because sometimes they are people too who was Japanese, but I was wrong. There are so many people from other countries! It was amazing, it was affordable and even I got a tons of friends which is Japanese. They were used to speak English, so every time we hang out we would go anywhere spend time together, and have fun. It was amazing!!!

    I paused the video half way just to post this. It's amazing how they can keep a river that runs through a town so clean. The water is so clean that freshwater fishes can thrive in. How do they deal with drainage from the residents? Or the sewerage? In many parts of the world, such rivers would be so contaminated, you wouldn't dare put your toes into them, let alone swim in them. I wish society can study these models and one day perhaps, everyone can just have a dip in a nearby river, just like them.
