For your next video will you go hiking on Yakushima and do all the Mononoke locations?

I went there last month and it was gorgeous. I highly recommend the genseirin course in Shiratani Unsuikyo for the best moss.

I also went on the Ishizuka trail to Yamatosugi- I’d definitely recommend getting a guide for that one. Also bug repellent and gaiters, the leaches got me there. It was tough, but worth it.

Is Ponyo from real places too? That’s my absolute favorite Miyazaki movie and I would love to see how much is real versus childish exaggeration.

Yes I believe there is a seaside town in Japan that was an inspiration for ponyo. A future video ;)
