Yesh big recommend n good lucks
That's in Tsumago, if you want rural n historical places in the mountains, the area around Magome & Tsumago
It can be tricky here unlike Tokyo, if you can go for a guest house where people praise the host, I wouldnt hab such a comfy n good time around here without my host, he drives me to the city for grocery and picks me up at the end of the day if I miss the last bus

Really nice pics you took. Was the first pic that you took in mogome just double checking? How did you find a host to and do they speak English. Language barrier has always been my biggest thing holding me back from going how do you deal with it?

The river is in the Atera Valley, you reach it by Nojiri,
The town pics are in Tsumago
>How did you find a host
I was lucky, I just booked something random after checking the reviews + location
>Language barrier
You could try Duliongo, I was doing fine but things at home were to mess so I just focused on getting work done
Would be worth it methinks, most people here are ready to talk n have nice convos with strangers
Otherwise Chatgpt + DeepL help, most people who canf speak English, or barely like my host
Use like Google Translation to communicate with you
The lore is 2deep n messy, I hab been around for a decade now xd
Ig the thing you can take away from it is that positive change/better times are possible xd
There were plenty of years were just kept begging for death here cause I was 2afraid to do it, I do hab a few unsuccessful being an hero attemps too xd
>Where are the other places you recommend.

I was just there for two nights and regret it, there is so much moar to explore there, the people living in big cities here, use it for their vacation

Both are crowded af oof
But they each hab their own vibe and are still worth exploring

Thanks for answering all the questions I had even though asked a lot. What made you change. I feel like I'm an extremely rut and kind of a coward what got you to change. Also how is immigration/ tourist sentiment these days. I've heard the place is less welcoming overall (like most places in the world) What are your thoughts.

Finally I'm glad to hear that you turned things around for yourself. Gives me some hope.

>Btw how much did you spend for this long trip, plus whatever this host is?... i dont know much about traveling
You can travel much more affordable than me
I kinda treated myself after harsh months
Plus I had the funds cause I pumped most of my paychecks from amazon into the stock market like a maniac and my guesses were right
The guesthouse for 4 nights was like 120.000yen
2 weeks of Tokyo cost me 160.000 Yen
You can survive with like 10 - 15.000 Yen a day
And still get around plenty, I set my daily limit to 150 bucks a day but today escalated
The shinkanse was like 11.00yen already
Yea I need to watch out to not go back with a gooner liberally
I still want to get clothes and maybe a figure oof

I was doing well at amazon but then my cat died and I wanted to go back being a hikikomori, my Lil bro went hardcore crazy and he was running a smol family business with dad, I had to get my shit, we do underground construction for like pipes/cables and industrial cleaning, I do anything needed, the cleaning part is very ick n uncomfy but hey it pays better than Amazon for less hours xd
Dubai is also a family thing and its not as expensive as most imagine, ofcourse if you have a big wallet they offer you plenty to empty it in n0 time

>Why not, people around the globe spent lots of monays to see your areas, you can do it for cheaper and navigate through it easier
well,
>We'll probably too used to it by living there
yeah.
It's nice to be here and eat the food and the see around, but actually living here is so shit. South italy is a shit place to live in. The mafia is so radicalized here that it's completely normal to do illegal stuff or to grow up and become a gangster/trade drugs or something. It's really shit here and one of the reasons i didn't do well growing up here.
At least it is beautiful. Just yesterday my head was spinning and i couldn't focus on my work so i decieded to go out and take a walk. I dont go for a walk very often so i went exploring and i ended up at this place i didn't even know mount echia (picrel very similar to the last one) just walking moments before through the poor streets with the stereotypical south italian shouting going on everywhere and stuff of that sort
