Toei's Medieval Japanese Village, Kyoto Movie Village Eigamura
A quick tour through the Japanese medieval village in Kyoto, where the structures are built to resemble those of ancient times.
There have been hundreds of movies shot there, as well as daily showcases of medieval life, including a samurai battle in the open streets.
You may recognize the buildings from any number of movies and Japanese productions, and there are a lot of things to do for famillies and single people alike.
Driving through a nearly abandoned village ほぼ捨てられた日本の村を介して駆動 - Abandoned Japan 日本の廃墟
This video came about at the end of a long day of hiking in an area I call the deep mountains. It's my favorite area to explore largely due to the near utter absence of any human activity in the regions beyond the last village. The very first time I (accidentally) discovered this valley my interest was piqued when I asked an elderly farmer at the edge of the last village (I didn't know at the time that it was the last village) what I would found in the mountains beyond. He looked me in the eye and said calmly nothing. I knew then that I had found the area where I would enjoy many adventures. The village in this video is the second-to-last village before the start of nothing. I once knew all of the residents here though now nearly all of the people are gone save a few very old women and one ancient man who has always been kind to me though he has never once opened his mouth to utter a single word.

THE PATH OF WILDNESS
The Path of Wildness is easy to find The course of a stream Leaves blown in the wind A beast's track through the brush And the direction of our first inclination
The Path of Wildness is an answer and response to a prescribed way of life which may leave some individuals with a sense that their living is little more than a series of pre-determined, step-like episodes between birth and death. The stages of living between these events: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, parenthood and senior are themselves natural and in accord with the needs of the species and most individuals. Many find their satisfaction in living this course and to these individuals I have little or nothing to say. Others though long for something more; something innate, genetic and seemingly calling. Adventure and change can give a degree of satisfaction and relief yet even these may seem too tame. To those who feel drawn to something beyond the entertainment and stimulation of senses I offer a walk along The Path of Wildness. Don't bother penciling the event in your schedule, preparing a pack with goodies and supplies or even inviting a friend along, for this experience is along the course of your first inclination and you must surely always go alone.
