Loco Travel: Inawashiro - Part 7 (Tombs of the Matsudaira Clan)

Yay~!!
Sorry for the delay - I had so many problems with getting this one uploaded. And the quality didn't turn out very well...
It's an interlacing thing...I will never shoot in 1080i again!

Anyway - these tombs are located near Higashiyama, which is the hot springs district in Aizu-Wakamatsu.
It's a really beautiful part of town, and just a short hike off the main strip you'll find the tombs of the Matsudaira Clan.

For more information on them, please check out these links:

Thanks for watching the series!
I'll do one final video showing some scenery that doesn't really fit into a video.
All the support for this series has been great!
I'm glad you liked the intro. :P
Of course I plan to do more travel videos in the future, but don't forget - coming up at the end of October will be the return of the Japanese Tongue Twister series.
Look forward to seeing your submissions!
I'll make another announcement vid for it in about a week.

Just watched this video series and really enjoyed it! It's great to see what you're doing! I would've loved to see you in the rain on the mountain! :) Love you!

Nijyuuroku.... nen... Tokyo... Ishigawa?.... no, I'm completely lost. Are we sure that's Japanese?

Loved the series. As I said 5 times already, uploading 5min videos was a great move. It was fun to hear the whole story 2 or 3 times, and then by the end of the vid you go like "oh, wait... that's not what happened..." :P

Now, of course, I kinda hate you, since I have to wait 4 and a half months to get there, but anyway... hopefully everything will still be there when I arrive.

Cheers.

5/5 dude!

[yumyumsesame]

Yeh I feel like I went on your trip too! And I liked listening to you talk about the history, I tend to find textbook history too dry and much prefer being told stories. :)
