Je vis 24h comme un Samuraï en l’an 700 à Nikko au Japon (partie 2) #mavieaujapon #ep16

When I travel around the world and especially in Japan, I love coming across national treasures along the way. It’s getting dark soon and I took the bus to station 44 to go see some new waterfalls so the waterfall is called

Yutaki Falls I hope it’s worth the trip because I I don’t know until what time the bus works, I hope I don’t find myself alone in nature. Lets ‘ go.

Well I find myself in the middle of nature it is curdling we hear that my God “Kuma, go chuui kudasai!” My god that means that here you have to be careful because you can end up with a bear my God all that just to see the waterfalls I hope I wouldn’t have taken

Too much of a risk. I am scared. Well I ended up finding these waterfalls so here I am in front of the Yudaki waterfalls unlike the waterfalls that you were able to see just previously

The height is still 70 m so we are on much shorter waterfalls but I have the the impression is still more impressive because the Japanese had the intelligence I think to have built wooden terraces but which are located much closer

To the waterfall so that allows us to savor this waterfall 70 m high 25 m wide wide and the particularity of these waterfalls is that look closely the water is so clear but really so clear and filled with minerals which means that the Japanese come here in droves

During the tourist seasons to take their bottles and fill their bottles of this water because this water is really filled with lots of minerals so it is very good for your health next to the waterfall there is a series of stairs in fact it allows you to reach

The top of the waterfall ‘here we can see that there are barriers which border an observatory and apparently at the top of this observatory you have a panoramic view of the surrounding forest apart from this observatory I notice there are lots of paths around the waterfall which allows you

To go hiking with the family there are lots of things to see here it’s great well now I’m going to take the stairs and we’re going to see what we can see at the top of the waterfall.

There I am at the top of the waterfalls it’s nice eh well all this noise is coming from here eh and behind I see a little bridge no it’s nice it’s nice but I’m so

Cold so I’m going to make an effort I I’m going to continue I want to see some views of the lake from the bridge it looks nice but hey the view above the waterfalls is quite nice but I imagine that during the fall with the maple trees all red the show must

Be worth it but at the moment, well, it’s a bit gray. The lake here on my left side is called Lake Yonoko and it is sometimes very frequented by fishermen since they like to fish for trout. It is renowned for being of very good

Quality since it feeds on water which is naturally rich in minerals since the lake here is fed by water from the surrounding mountains very often the Japanese really like to come fishing here since the trout has a very good reputation for its

Nutritional benefits there is a legend which is very well known here and which says that one day a Buddhist came in front of this park he was so sad because he saw this lake but really disgusting

And full of stuff so he started to pray but pray very hard to find purity in this lake and everything suddenly, there was a golden carp which burst out of the water and which began to instantly purify the entire park and since that day this fish is considered a fish

Of good fortune and good luck for all the inhabitants of the region last belief about this lake is that if you take out a coin and you make a wish and you throw the coin into the lake if you manage to see the coin fall and hit the bottom of the lake

Well you are blessed by the gods and that your life will be filled with luck and good health. My friends breathe with me we are in the heart of Nikko in a very sacred site

Which is filled with shrines and I want to take you on a journey back in time to the era of the Shogun samurai and I want to explore this place because I already went there 15 years ago and at At the time it was my very first time in Japan and I

Still remember it with a lot of emotion and this time I want to take you to a first site called Futarasan in which there are two monuments absolutely fabulous that I have already seen then I want to go to three or four other places we are going to go and see together

This jewel this heritage of humanity listed by UNESCO I hope you like it in any case install I will comfortably take you into Japan’s past. Now we will start with the site of Futarasan which is a sacred site located in the city of Nikko

In Japan. It was founded in 782 and it is dedicated to the god of the mountain and the surrounding nature. The name Futarasan means two mountains in Japanese and it refers to two sacred mountains called Nantai and Nyoho which surround the shrine and this

Futarasan shrine is one of the most important in Japan and as soon as we arrive here we feel feels quite caught up in the millennia of history the hundreds of stories here it feels really good we are in a sacred site but really immersed in nature.

When we talk about a temple we also have to talk about purification so before entering a sacred site you must purify yourself and you have what we call a Temizuya these are fountains of purification so unfortunately today I would like to find Hishaku

So they are ladles to be able to take the water and purify you unfortunately because of the corona and well there is no Hishaku so I am going to purify myself in a very simple way to

Show you how you purify with the Hishaku when we will decide to put them back the exercise is very simple you take the Hishaku with the right hand take the Hishaku you fill the ladle with water once you have filled with the right hand you clean the left hand after

You hold the ladle with the left hand to clean the right hand after you take the ladle with the right hand you put a little bit of water in the palm of the left hand and you

Put the water in the mouth in order to purify your mouth but above all do not If you don’t swallow it, you spit it out and at the end with the water that remains in the ladle, you hold the ladle like that

And you get up to purify your hand and you put down the Hishaku and that’s it, it’s over. I have to tell you a secret when I travel all over the world and more particularly in Japan, I love coming across national treasures on my path and here I have the opportunity to

Introduce you to a new one that I didn’t know, look next to it from me here we are dealing with a bronze object it is a lantern which was offered by Kanuma Katutsuna who was an eminent local samurai the flame which was lit in the upper box of this lantern was

Intended to illuminate the sanctuary once the night fell so it was said that at the time once you lit the flames inside the lantern you had the impression of seeing an apparition of a ghost which gave the name Bake Tourou to this lamp which means

Haunted lantern in Japanese in this regard I have an anecdote to tell you following this name you should know that until the end of the Edo period the samurai guarded the grounds of this sanctuary all night and one evening they confused the glow of this flame with the appearance of a

Ghost so what did they do and to protect the sanctuary they all took out their katana and they all struck at the same time on the lamp in order to to scare away this ghost and that’s the reason why when you come here well if you look in the

Details the lamp still retains the after-effects of this attack with 60 traces of blow you imagine on a misunderstanding we almost lost a national treasure it’s incredible. There I am in front of a game which is simply called the game of luck.

Very simple principle you have to take all the rings that are here and throw them away and if ever one of the rings if ever I manage to put one of the rings on one of these sticks and well I’m lucky we’re going to try that then the yellow we will try.

It’s difficult oh I succeeded in the red now come on where I succeeded and there the green I’m too strong wait it’s incredible. I managed three rings out of 5, it’s not bad.

Ah, it’s a shame behind me there is a meditation room and I would have liked to go in so I could film and take photos and unfortunately everything is forbidden so this room is called Jogyodo it is an ascetic practice room a room for the practice of walking meditation which

Has existed here since 848 CE when the original hall was built by the monk Enin in this very intense ascetic practice the monks circle around the buddas placed in the center of the hall without rest for 90 days while saying the nenbutsu prayer sincerely I wonder

How they manage to do this practice without eating 90 days is 3 months! In 3 months I can’t even assimilate all my vocabulary and all my Japanese grammar. I don’t know how these monks do it but he walks he walks he walks me too I’m going to walk.

Now I take you to the Taiyuin temple which was built in 1653 in honor of the 3rd Shogun of Japan who is called Tokugawa Iemitsu and who reigned over Japan from 1623 to 1651 the interest of this visit is that The temple is an example of Momoya architecture

Which is characterized by very steeply sloping roofs with lots of ornaments. There I am here in front finally no I am not in front I am in the Yomemon gate which is therefore the first entrance gate which is very famous in this temple and if you look up

You will see it is really an example of “really mind-blowing architecture it’s really impressive to actually see all these sculptures and if you look in detail you even have guardian dragons which are sculpted with gold and all of that has stood the test of time it It’s really impressive to see that Japan

Manages to make constructions in this way that are resilient, resistant to earthquakes, rain and bad weather, it’s impressive. Really. Ah, I’m tired now I’ve barely started two stairs there’s a third when is it going to stop?

Now a new visit I will take you to Sanbutsudo which means the hall of the three Buddhas Amida, Yakushi and Miroku and the particularity of this temple is that only every 60 years the Buddhas are exposed to the public so if you ever have the opportunity to

Come and admire these three statues I recommend it to you it is really a very rare phenomenon. Ah, it’s a shame I just left the temple with the three Buddhas and it’s wonderful I had the right to watch and stand in front of the three Buddhas unfortunately photos

And videos were forbidden my God and it was magnificent if you ever have the opportunity to come, go there, the temple is huge, you have several sculptures in the small corridors to observe the history of the temple, the sculptures of Buddha and

So on and then the three large Buddhas who appear before you with a golden frame is really magnificent but unfortunately photos were prohibited. We are in front of the Karamon it is a Chinese door which was reserved only for the characters of Oran in the Japanese past unfortunately

Normal people could not pass through this door and this door is protected by an ascending dragon on one side and a descending dragon on the other and each sculpture of this dragon made of wood were made from a single tree this door is

Also protected by a lion and a dragon that you can see on the roof of this door. Oh my god I’m super exhausted I finally got to the top of this tour oh my god

I can’t feel my legs anymore actually I have at least 10 kg ah on my back 10 or 15 kg of equipment video I can tell you it’s not that easy.

Ah, that’s it I went up that’s all that to see this monument there you have to go back down ah my God it’s it’s it’s a little dangerous all the same because for the elderly be careful there is no bar there is nothing at all so if you

Go down ah I imagine you go down this way so as not to be injured or risk falling well it’s still okay if you are in good health but if your knee hurts or If you are old enough take care of yourself because you can fall easily. Come on, oh.

Ah I assure you it’s super beautiful it’s so lovely you breathe at the same time it’s a physical exercise to go up all these stairs go back down then it’s not finished yet the temple is still huge we don’t have everything seen.

I have some exciting but not important information to give you look behind me on this sign it explains to us that we are at an altitude of 634m which corresponds exactly to the height of the Tokyo Skytree in fact it’s as if I Was here at the tip of the Tokyo Skytree and

I’m looking at a panoramic view of Tokyo. I am in front of the Shinkyo bridge which is located in the city of Nikko, it is one of the symbols of the city and also a major tourist attraction of the city but I want to tell you the legend behind it

So we are at the end of the Nara period and at the time there is a Japanese Buddhist monk from the Kega school and whose statue is on the other side of the bridge this monk at the time so

We are at the end of the Nara period he was walking in the city of Nikko his goal was to reach the summit of Mount Nantai to meditate with his entire group of monks then he found himself

In front of this Daiya river and he was blocked in the face of this obstacle since without power cross well he couldn’t reach his destination so he started praying and there was an appearance of a deity it was a silhouette with two snakes on both sides

Of the arms and this gentleman told him I am Jinja Daiou and I will give you the power to cross this bridge and he released these two snakes one blue one red and the two snakes arced

To be able to form a bridge and therefore the group of monks were able to cross the bridge as soon as they set foot on the other side of the bank they turned and they saw the deity

Disappear with the two snakes and the monk as a sign of recognition put his two hands in prayer like that as a sign of gratitude and he said thank you here is the reason for the existence of this

Bridge so obviously these are legends but in any case the story of this monk this monk really existed. This is why the city wanted to place a statue in his likeness and since that day this bridge has been named Yamasuge no Jabashi.

There is another information that I want to share with you is that here among the locals there is a belief that on this side of the bank the bridge is protected by a goddess named Hashihime and the The other side by

Jinja Daiou and the junction between the two banks is this famous bridge on which if you ever walk on this bridge with a wish in mind there is a strong chance that it will come true and also once you have crossed this bridge you will feel with a

Much stronger motivation with a lot more energy and a lot more courage obviously for the locals living in Nikko their belief is that the divinity Hashihime serves as a intermediary between the Nikko sanctuary and the people it could be you it could be me for example

Thanks to her she serves as an intermediary to give you a much more fabulous destiny than you could imagine a good fate a good luck but also a family success and happiness as a couple. For couples who wish happiness fertility success in their relationship I suggest you come to this place which is

Strategically located right in front of the bridge finally right in front rather at an angle and here you sit with your sweetheart in front you hold the rope together and you ring it while making a wish while looking at the bridge and then now

We are going to see the bridge together so here it is very pretty eh and as a sign of recognition you stand in front of the authority you bow sign of respect and there you can move forward. You have some archive footage of the construction of the bridge its existence et cetera here

Wow! there really it’s really magnificent we are going to access the bridge there you have lanterns that light up at night and there I will start by thinking of a wish in my head before crossing

The bridge so here I will soon arrive on the bridge so we still ask you with lots of messages here to be careful not to damage the decorations because there are still age-old decorations here and here I am on the bridge so just to show you

You still have hotels like that sacred to pray and here you have the bridge I am not going to start it yet I am going to wait a little I am going to think about my wishes before making my crossing.

There I find myself in a Ramen restaurant right next to my hotel I can tell you after a rain like that my hands were frozen and now I want to eat something hot so here you have lots of choices of Ramen so don’t be afraid although the menu is in

Japanese look you have exactly the same menu but in Romaji even in English by the way and this evening I want to have a Pork Ramen for 1110 yen and I took a topping is

A small option with a hard-boiled egg for €1, or 130yen. Well I hope it’s going to be good because I’m really hungry now. No, it’s boring and it’s nice to go and eat at the restaurant, something hopefully good but especially hot after such a freezing day.

Well I have my bowl it seems to be very creamy well already it smells good to tell you everything I’m not a huge fan of ramen but and this one looks rather generous I have four slices of pork with a hard-boiled egg a very creamy soy sauce sesame some small

Green assortments it must be coriander I don’t know we’re going to try it looks pretty good no it already smells good Come on, let’s try. Okay so we’re going to take some chopsticks I hope I ‘m going to be lucky yes that’s a sign of luck I separated the two chopsticks

And then we’re going to try the soup I like it okay it’s acceptable it’s okay no I’m happy it’s very good I’m going to warm up ah my hands were freezing it warms my hands okay I’ll leave you there I have to eat because I’m really very hungry.いただきます！No, it’s splendid. Great.
