Fall arrives early in the Japanese Alps. While the rest of Japan is still green, the mountains are already glowing with red and gold. In this video, I take you on three unforgettable hikes through the Northern Alps you need to add to your list: Murodo and Tateyama in Toyama, Goshikigahara in Gifu, and Mt. Norikura on the border of Nagano and Gifu. Perfect for anyone planning hikes in Japan, looking for fall travel ideas, or curious about Japan’s hiking culture.

Thank you so much for your videos all these Japan adventures have lifted our spirits and thank you for giving a special shoutout to my beautiful, strong and amazing daughter Naomi. She will defeat Cancer and I will bring her to Japan show her Aomori where we lived before she was born and give her a grand adventure across Japan’s natural beauty when she beats this!

I love how genuine your channel is! It’s like having a friend in Japan that recommends can’t-miss outdoor adventures. I appreciate that you recorded footage using your phone so I could compare the differences between pro camera setup and ultralight minimalist setup…. but sorry that it cost you a lens in the process.

Ahh your lens 😢 But still, yet another lovely series of hikes. Beautiful. That waterfall was indeed a beauty. I’ve been relatively grounded these last few months on account of my spine but hoping to get a hike or two in my Scottish highlands before the snows get too serious, you are inspiring me to get over my fears and just do it dude 🙏

毎回、映像が美しいですね...
そしてRyanさん、日本語がペラペラだったんですね。驚きました。

いつも美しい日本の景色を紹介してくれてありがとう‼️今年は紅葉の当たり年だったようですが登山に行けず、ここで立山の紅葉を見られて嬉しかったです🍁ナオミさんがまた自然に逢いに行ける日が来る事を祈っています😊

I woke early to find a nice surprise on YouTube. Didn’t know about these locations and in particular the access logistics. Loved Goshikigahara! Sorry to learn of your camera gear troubles. Your gear doesn’t just sit in a drawer as you’re an intensive user so I suppose it’s just part of the process. Wishing Naomi well. Another nice one Ryan!

Tbh as an Asian who moved to foreign country, I do miss those sunny fall days (ngl this is something I REALLY needed to watch) You really nailed in shooting with your phone!!!(I mean I know you're VERY experienced but DAMN!!!) Loved the beautiful place in Takayama. Yes, I surely would add Takayama in my list if I'll go to Japan💯💕 and I again will say your choice of music is so damn good.... I loved the way you add the music while the sound of waterfall is still there😭🤌

@benxytokyo118 10 months ago

@Meitimeyt 10 months ago

Sorry to hear about your camera and lens!
The storytelling in your video is amazing, we really enjoyed it.
All the hikes look stunning. We definitely want to visit Nunobiki and take our time there not just five minutes, haha! 😄

The somewhat darker skies, rain and beautiful colors in combination with the music give this video such a peacefull vibe. It sucks that your camera fell Ryan but your skill makes even a phone look professional. The Goshikigahara chapter was my fevorite this time. The water at 7:38 and the waterfalls at 9:35 look so good, it's a bummer premiere mode doesn't have 4k but that just means i'll have to go for a round 2! Thanks for another great video Ryan and i'll be rooting for Naomi to get back to full health and back on the trails!! Take care! (edit: Typo)

Good stuff as always :)

Obsessed with fall in Japan!
Sending all the positive vibes to Naomi - you got this 💪💪💪

@フッキ-u4d 10 months ago

Looks fascinating in Tateyama. Went there this July and had bunch of snow which pissed me out but the view was biblical😊

@Whodat777 10 months ago

Naomi keep up the fight. You've got this!!!

I am so impressed by how you capture the beauty of Japan in each Video and its mystical landscapes. You have eyes to catch these beauty every place.
Thank you.
