When I lived in Tokyo, I hiked up almost every mountain in the Saitama and Chiba area. Japan has one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world.

I like how Fernando keeps an open mind to their practises. He isn’t skeptical, but just enjoying the experience! Love it!

one of the few vice presenters that are actually relatable and likeable

Agreed. At first I thought.. "Natural High? Shouldn't Hamilton be on this one?" But enjoyed Fernando openness and genuine interest.

"Normally you just focus on getting there, but we were 'there' the whole time" Well put.

It's been a long time since Vice made a good documentary like this

the music they were making at the waterfall sounded badass.

The part after his story of hiking around the hill for a 100 days where he says "I wanted to learn about having fun in nature" is beautiful. You can definitely see all his activities as fun things to do. A way of cathartic expression perhaps though voice, motion and the connection with nature. Pretty awesome way of life I must say.

I love how VICE not only teaches no matter how dangerous or taboo the subject content is, you all always manage to leave me entertained and surprised every time I watch. Thanks👍🏽

The last monk is my idol.. The first time I've seen a person so alive!

Love this dudes voice for narration

Kosho seemed like a cool guy. Possibly the best part of the video.

Loved that last monk he was chillin with. Now I want to see them form a James Brown cover band with his primitive instruments and that monk on vocals.

It's all about VIBRATION. if you understand that each of us is a vibration. when you go in to connect with nature, you are merely connectining with your NATURAL VIBRATION. your connection with your true self will remind you of how precious you really are. you are sharing your own vibration to intertwine or connect with TRUE SOURCE and it makes you high. ase

This documentary is dope! I'm digging the journalist too.

What an honor to meet such spirits and truly experience them in their element!

As someone who has dedicated my life to spiritual practice and from learning from different cultures to distill my own truth, I appreciate Vice for the mini doc. Theres quite a few insights that can be gleaned from just the tidbits that you guys showed that deepened my understanding of the Art of Shugendo. Hopefully you guys keep up the good work and cover spiritual practices of other cultures as well.

best reporter and best documentary ive seen from Vice

Please make "Natural highs" a whole series!

This really made me relaxed.

That sounds like a breathtaking experience

I live in Japan and had never heard of Shugendo. But I love hiking here so I will start to slow things down, Shugendo style. I like it!

wow the free monk was so charismatic. I think he could teach everyone something with out the feeling like they were l;earning!

Every country have their contact with nature culture. Find the one closest to you and connect. It’s easier than it seems and brings you so much happiness and fulfillment. Thank you for sharing this document.

God I’m so jealous this guy had this opportunity! Their Temples are so beautiful

One of the best Vice docummentaries

Thank you for covering this experience! Love vice.

I literally live for vice. They always come thru with all the good vids. Seems like the perfect job to have tbh.

Loved watching this documentary. It seems so peaceful there. Maybe I'll seek it out one day.

There are similarities on Shugendo and original finnish beliefs. In Finland, many belief in the healing power of forests, as there are no mountains. When you go to a forest and just be in there, you get a deep sense of relaxation. "Sielu lepää" means that your soul is resting. I found this video to be very interesting and thought provoking.

beautiful!

It's this playful spirit and sense of vitality through nature that attracted me to Zen Buddhism, which I've practiced for over eleven years now. I think it has helped me to experience life more fully, without holding myself back so much. And it's taught me to not be so serious and take things as they come.. and have fun! Lol..

Finally some good vice journalists lately!

This was excellent

Really liked Fernando, should be in more vids.

I think meditating under a cold water fall is one of the most badass things you can do in a life.

Love this guy

I'm glad he had this experience and was able to share it with us. With that said, chasing a high or searching for a certain experience is a bit counter intuitive to these types of spiritual teachings and practices. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having these experiences or getting this natural high. This journey and these experiences are very important, but the chase for that high the expectation for a certain experience can be detrimental at times. Say you have an experience, but it's not exactly what you were looking for, you might get disappointed and look for something else before you were able to go deeper into the practice. Or say you do have this euphoric experience and you keep trying to chase that high again and again. Eventually, you won't be able to achieve that same high after awhile and become disappointed. And from that you may become a bit clouded and it could halt your spiritual progress. Again, there is nothing wrong with having these experiences or finding joy in these practices, but this chase and these expectations can have a negative impact as the goal for a lot of these teaching is to satiate that want for that high or grand experience by letting it go. None of this is necessarily directed towards him, it's just something for you, the reader of this comment, to keep in mind as you continue to search and learn more.

Awesome video

No matter how advanced technology gets, I doubt we will ever be able to explain this energy that connects all of us with the world.

Kosho seems like an absolute joy :)

Yey finally something good on vice.

Would love to try this practice

what a powerful insight into the hidden world of japan. i am very interested by their culture, and i greatly appreciate the difference between them and the western world. thank you vice for another insightful video

Love it ...
