Hearing the guide's story, of how he used to live in Tokyo and finally found his calling there in the forests of the north was very touching.

One of the reasons why I went to Japan alone is precisely because of the silence thing the old man said. When I was there in a lonely temple, in the woods or just having a walk in Kyoto on a rainy night, being alone is what made me enjoy it at its fullest. When you travel with someone else you spend more time talking to the other person or making sure they are following you or they like what they see, etc. If you ever go to Japan, go alone.

This is my favorite KZread video ever! I've watched it several times and every time I get goosebumps! When the training session starts with the shot of heavy snow falling, sounds of the waterfall, picture perfect snow-clad countryside Japan, snow falling on Ryotaro, the sounds of the chime and the horn, Takeharu's Japanese chants and his life experience and that final shot of both Ryotaro and Takeharu in the distance climbing the mountain, along with very clever and beautiful choices of background music with your documentary style commentary, the video could not be more perfect. Thank you, Chris-san.

Risottoro. Gone with the rice. Coming to you in HD this winter. (Also, that place was so gorgeous. Would love to have went along for that!)

Not going to lie, some of those scenes in the forest really felt magical

Honestly with all the amazing content that's come out on this channel, this video is kind of a hidden gem. It should be up there with some of the most popular. The business-man turned monk had some powerful words there.

"I can feel I'm in the moment." Isn't that what so many of us want? That man was so empowering. Amazing video, Chris.

I can't sleep most nights because of my chronic pain so I binge watch your videos. Binge watching your videos helps me get through the sleepless nights and helps me forget about my pain.

Take a look at the Shojin Ryori cooking style, it is almost entirely vegan (with the exception of a few modern dishes as milk and eggs just weren't available to the Japanese Buddhists). Also you may be happy to know that shojin ryori doesn't use onions or garlic due to their strong flavor, which would go against the philosophy of balance by over-powering other ingredients. I have one cookbook but I hope to expand my collection. Also, vegan as well.
