We Visited Deer Heaven and it was Amazing! (Nara Japan)
A trip to Japan is not complete without meeting the famous deer of Nara. Although they are considered wild, they are very accustomed to people giving them rice cakes in exchange for a bow. The folklore says that the god of thunder first appeared riding a white deer at the top of a mountain. Later, the god of thunder, became a deity enshrined in Nara’s Kasuga shrine which made all of the deer inhabiting the area as messengers of god.In 1177, a nobleman visiting the area with his family, encountered a herd of deer with his traveling party. Upon seeing the deer approach, a young boy got out of his carriage and bowed to them. Apparently this struck a cord with the nobleman because 11 years later in 1189, the head of the Fujiware clan, was surveying the rebuilding of the temple on the site when a deer appeared inside the main hall. In his journal he wrote, "I was momentarily bewildered, then joined my hands and bowed to the deer." From then the deer were considered a lucky signal. And to this day, deer in the area have learned they can exchange a bow for a rice cake. Sometimes, the deer get a little aggressive if they think you are withholding treats from them. The deer seem to know a wave good bye means you are out of treats and they will retreat. Aside from thousands of friendly deer, the area houses several temples and shines dating back to the 700's. One of the most famous monuments is the Great Buddha at Todaji Temple. It was the largest wooden building in the world for over one thousand years. The great buddha weighs over 500 tons, almost 50 feet tall and took over 350k people to build it. Todaji is recognized as an Unesco World heritage site and is visited by over 2 million people annually. We visited Isuien Garden while in Nara. It’s a peaceful beautiful garden. If you want some unique pictures for Instagram it may be worth the 900 yen to get in. Only about a 15 minute walk from the train station, it’s considered a respite from the hustle and bustle of the Kasuga Grand Shrine. There’s a tea house that you can also see a tea ceremony. But after we were scammed in Shanghai, we were not interested in more tea ceremonies for this trip. The garden dates back to 1670 and was made by a wealthy merchant on top of a pond with man made islands in the center. If you decide to go all the way to the back, you’ll find another garden… So you get two gardens in one trip. Also included with the garden is admission to a museum founded in 1969. It displays a personal collection of early East Asian art.

The store that takes you back in time: Barnes Jewelry in Helena, Montana

The most interesting store we visited while on our 15k long road trip was surprisingly in the city of Helena Montana. When we first approached it, we were awed by the outside store display. Inside, it is reminiscent of a combination of movies like Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and the introduction to Back to the Future. The store owners are fascinating with their knowledge and skills of antiqu...

A trip to kobe is not complete without eating authentic kobe beef steak at a great restaurant. Here in Kobe, our meal included just under 6 oz of Kobe beef with a matcha tea and vegetables for about $80.

To say the Japanese people are big fans of Disneyland is an understatement. They built a Disneyland park in the 1980s of their own for a big reason. Nearly 18 million people visited the park in 2018 making it the third most visited theme park on the planet. Unlike many attractions and restaurants at Tokyo Disneyland that are alternate versions of themselves from the Magic Kingdom or Disneyland,...

    I know this video is 10 years old by now (which is crazy to think about since I used to listen to this over and over as a kid), but does anyone know what the piece starting at 16:55 is? Also does anyone know if Alan still plays at Disneyland? I'd love to meet him, but I've never seen him there before.

    After a copyright holder falsely claimed ownership of the music in one of my videos, which was advertised as royalty-free, I had to make the video private for over half a year. During that time, I was able to replace the disputed music with a different song that is not subject to any copyright claims. Now you can enjoy the updated video.

      Hey Daniel! Max resolution looks really good, and this is such a poetic video. It is so wonderful that these two men not only allowed filming in their store, but they gave you a beautiful tour! Their knowledge is amazing. I actually remember some of these things because I spent a lot of time with my grandmother when I was a boy. She had a finished basement with tons of hand me down toys and personal effects that my mom and uncle were allowed to play with as children, and then later, I got to play with them :) I love the intro and outro music you selected, it adds to the nostalgia.@@DanielDGordon
