- There's some beautiful hiking in the Northern Japanese Alps and you don't even have to go that far! Starting from the town of Hakuba, we did two day hikes that blew us away with their amazing views.

久しぶり (Long time no see)! If you missed our community post, Aimee got a new job so editing has been a bit slower while she’s been getting used to her new role. But now she’s all settled in, we’ve got new videos coming!
This one’s from the start of October so very much still autumn vibes 😅 but Japan’s starting to get pretty cold. What’s it like in your part of the world now?
Awesome views 🥹
The views in the Northern Alps are spectacular 😍
Beautiful. Thx
Absolutely brilliant presentation friend, this was narrated and filmed so professionally! What a breathtaking video!
Thank you so much! Your comment has made our day 😊
Roy and Aimee、ひさしぶり～！ Hakuba is beautiful as always! It's my second home town! (^^)/ 4:41 "winter" for me too!😁
Aah no you and Roy are beating me on the winter vote haha!
After watching this video, my desire to hike in Hakuba goes skyrocketing 🚀🚀 Great video by the way!
Ooh so glad to hear it! Hope you can make it out to Hakuba for some hiking - it really is beautiful! Thanks for watching 😊
Lovely video! The views look spectacular! :) May I ask a most silly question? Are the chairlifts really not that high? Terrified of heights (when sitting on things, not hiking), lol!
Not a silly question at all! From memory, all the chairlifts weren't high. The different gondolas did get quite high but you're completely encased in glass in those ones 😊
@@RoyandAimee thank you :) that's reassuring. The gondolas should be fine, but after riding a 4-5m highchairlift without a bar with a kiddo somewhere in Japan during winter season last year...😅
Waah could totally appreciate you wouldn't want to do that again! 😳
This was fun. We need another animal sounds video though. That one was hilarious.
Haha glad you enjoyed it, that one was fun to make!
Hi guys, awesome video! You’ve inspired me to head to Happo Pond on my trip to Japan in October. I’m just wondering if you think it’ll be possible to do both the Tsugaike Nature Garden course and Happo Pond together in the same day? Will be using only public transit as well. Thanks again!
Really glad to hear we've inspired you to visit Happo Pond! That's the highest compliment 😊 Hmm that's a great question about doing both. It might not be possible. The lifts open at around 7:30am and close around 4:30pm so with hiking time and the time it takes on the gondola and lifts, you'd be cutting it quite fine I think. Here are links to the lift times in case it helps!

Terrific videography and editing, Aimee! Videos a little longer (ca. 15 minutes) would be nice, too because there is a lot of scenery and information to share on these locations.
Thank you! Ok noted! When we go out to film next, we'll keep this in mind and get more footage 😊
This is lovely! What kind of cell phone did you film this with?
Thank you for the lovely comment! 😊 This one was filmed using a GoPro 10 and Panasonic Lumix S5.
hello! nice vlog! :) may I ask when was this filmed? :)
Hello! Thanks for watching 😊 This was filmed at the start of October.
awesome video guys! do you think is it possible to enjoy Hakuba hiking without staying there for the night? like a day trip? or is it best to stay there? thank youuu
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching 😊 There are buses that run from Nagano Station to Hakuba that take just over an hour so if you wanted to do a day trip, it's possible.
Thank you for this great, fun video! I am staying two nights in the area but probably only time to do one of these hikes, the exact two I was trying to decide between... what do you think? I come from a mountainous area so I do have a chance to see great views and am intrigued by what looks like such a beautiful landscape to walk through at Tsugaike. Your opinion would be helpful!
Hi there! Thanks for watching! Ooh ok tough decision haha. Happo pond you have similar views for most of the way until you get to the pond at the end and then you have the spectacular mountain views. Tsugaike as you say has a beautiful landscape - there's less dramatic mountain views and you can't see into the valley below as much but there's perhaps more variation to enjoy. If you're not as worried about seeing mountain views then Tsugaike is a great pick 😊
Hi guys! ほんとうに久しぶり! What a great video , all those beautiful and breathtaking views !
I’ve been to Hakuba twice in winter and now I definitely wanna go in Autumn 🍂 If you don’t mind , could you tell me a nice hotel to stay there? Because I went from Matsumoto for one day trip and it was exhausting 😅
Thank you Aimee and Roy for sharing such great moments of hiking ❤❤
It's so nice to see one of your comments again! Haha I bet it must've been exhausting coming from Matsumoto! The only place we can personally recommend is called Mojo Lodge; we stayed there while snowboarding. It's not a hotel but we had a bedroom with ensuite, which was really comfortable and the staff were amazing. This is the link goo.gl/maps/N7wV3UUC65BRGzvs9 😊
@@RoyandAimee oh thank you so much !! I will look forward for it the next time we visit Hakuba😉
Take care, stay safe ✨🙏🏼✨
Hello! Lovely video as usual. Could you recommend a wintery spot like this that you can bring a baby to?
Thank you! For wintery town vibes with easy access from Tokyo (so you don't have to take a billion buses with a baby 😅), we'd recommend Karuizawa, Aizuwakamatsu or a little further afield is Kakunodate in Akita. Hakuba and Yuzawa also both have direct access from Tokyo but are a little bit more geared towards ski sports.
nice video..I would like to know what is the date of this autumn color?
This was on October 1st and 2nd 2022 😊
Hello , what period you hike at tsugaike nature garden mid-oct ?
Hi there! It was the first weekend of October 😊
Is it possible day trip from Tokyo to hike Happo Ike?
It takes about 3.5 - 4 hours to get to Hakuba from Tokyo so probably the quickest time you could do it in is an overnight trip 😊
which month is this??
The start of October 😊
Naruhodo, naruhodo, happy mood to be out there.
