Glowing Sunset, Heavy Rain, and Rolling Thunder on Nakasendo | Magome-juku, Japan 4K Walk

  • Magome-juku is a small post town on the Nakasendo, an Edo period walking highway connecting Kyoto and Tokyo, with a number of these small post towns along the way offering road-weary travelers room, board, and entertainment. I arrived just before sunset with a plan to walk the historic road lined with traditional buildings and water flowing through canals. I also thought it would be a good idea to check in on the adjacent rice fields in their summer glory. As I did, I noticed a beautiful glow in the sky, and some impressive dark clouds in the near-distance. Moments later the sky opened up and a heavy rain began to fall, cascading off the buildings, flowing down the walking path, and into the canals on either side. Walking up through the village lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as the rain became intense at times. I hope you enjoy the walk and the atmosphere of this beautiful post town in the natural elements.

    The old town is so picturesque. When there’s still daylight, exploring it is more enjoyable thanks to visibility. I like the old architecture and the long cobblestone path. When it’s rainy and dark, the path and house fronts are only lit by lanterns and light coming through windows. The town’s atmosphere makes me think of a movie set, and that thought makes me smile. Thank you for the video.

      The cobblestone path used to go all the way to Tokyo, I can only imagine what it would have been like to stop here for the night while making the long journey on foot. In the darkness and rain it certainly is a moody place : )

      Thank you! I was wondering about that little guy as well. First I thought he was a cat, but the movements looked different, almost like a puppy. It was so dark there I could see even less than the camera captured. So I don't know...your guess is as good as mine.

    Why are streets so empty? Where are locals, tourists?

      @ambient_exploration  22 дні тому +1

      This part of the Nakasendo is popular with tourists, but more so during the day. It seems like most shops closed around 4 or 5 and so most people left as well. I did see one restaurant that was full of tourists, and a few other smaller places with people inside. There were also some people walking out and about, even when the rain came, but not as busy as during the day to be sure.
