Toxic mountain village with Japan's last wolf (extended version)

*Extended, ad-free version for Patreon members* I ventured to the tiny mountain community of Higashi-Yoshino to learn the history of the final Japanese wolf specimen, the Tenchūgumi battles of the 1860s, and more, on a day of extremely hazardous air quality (apparently).

What a great video. A very beautiful town.. those Rabbit cartoons were terrifying, but the wolf... :/ I don't know what to say... So many graves everywhere. is that normal in Japan? Little towns in Japan? Thanks for the insight into the real Japan..

I don't think it's super unusual to see graves like that, but I don't actually have much recent experience in really small towns like this. Glad you too liked this look at real Japan -- it whetted my appetite to sometimes visit more far-flung places like this

Enjoyed your walk through the town….very interesting sights with seeing cemeteries in the hillsides. Seeing those engravings earlier reminded me of movie “ Samurai”

Really neat area. I think I got lucky with the weather too -- the wet post-rain atmosphere was really inviting
