0:03 hey everyone it's been quite a while I'm
0:06 sorry that I've been gone for so long
0:09 after spending 2 months in Germany I'm
0:11 finally back in Japan and I was
0:13 surprised to see that the leaves are
0:15 already turning red and the days are getting
0:20 shorter guys ready for the
0:24 mountain I'm sure actually I'm spending
0:27 most of the season in Kyoto showing my
0:29 two friends who visited me from Berlin
0:32 beautiful Japan and
0:35 Autumn as you know I love the mountains
0:37 so we started our adventure in one of my
0:41 favorite places kotaki which is only 30
0:42 minutes from
0:45 Kyoto I was so happy to be back in
0:48 nature surrounded by colorful mountains
0:50 while the sun was bright and the air
0:58 fresh we had lunch at an unreal place it
1:10 Paradise I was so glad I could show my
1:12 friends such
1:16 place they were so amazed by its
1:19 beauty and I realized once more that
1:21 experiencing good things yourself is
1:24 nice but sharing this moment with others
1:30 Joy
1:32 while I was moving to Japan I had to
1:35 leave a lot of my friends when we follow
1:39 our dreams sometimes we have to make
1:41 sacrifices so showing people I love the
1:48 special but I also know that for people
1:52 you cherish no distance in the world can
1:55 separate the restaurant offered us Yuzu
1:57 that we could take with us I thought
1:59 that was really cute I really want to
2:01 make some refreshing drink out of it or
2:09 recommendation after that we made our
2:11 way further up the mountain to see one
2:14 of my favorite temples around [Music]
2:15 [Music]
2:18 here Autumn is one of my favorite
2:21 seasons in Japan the honey-like sun
2:23 lightening up the colorful leaves
2:30 atmosphere somehow the season always
2:32 makes me feel a little bit
2:34 sentimental because it shows that
2:36 another year slowly comes to an end and
2:39 before the cold winter stats the whole
2:47 more the falling of the leaves reminds
2:49 us that nothing is forever and that we
2:56 gifted R be mom
2:58 mom MH
3:13 you now it was time to go up the
3:28 Temple the last time I visited this
3:30 Temple it was a summer day after a
3:33 typhoon everything was really green and
3:35 Luscious this time the temple was
3:38 surrounded by red leaves I'm always so
3:40 fascinated by Nature producing such vibrant
3:42 vibrant
3:44 colors the sun shined upon them and
3:46 drenched everything in a beautiful golden
3:56 [Music]
4:00 light then it was time for kawar
4:02 in the English translation it said it
4:05 means to throw away bad luck and evil
4:08 but also your desires which I think is
4:10 really beautiful because often our
4:13 imagination of how happiness looks like
4:16 actually keeps us from being
4:19 happy it felt like we throw away all
4:21 worries about the past and wishes about
4:24 the future of the mountain and just
4:26 welcome happiness Into the [Music]
4:28 [Music] Now
4:30 Now [Applause]
4:54 good the next day we went to an
4:56 Onsen it was the first time for my
4:58 friends to try it and they absolutely
5:01 loved it
5:03 we had a delicious lunch with so many
5:04 cute seasonal
5:07 dishes there are so many beautiful
5:09 traditions and food in Japan and we all
5:11 felt so lucky to experience [Music]
5:15 [Music]
5:17 them I know we should have eaten after
5:20 taking a bath but we arrived a little
5:30 nice going to an onson the air is cold
5:33 and fresh and The Sun Shines is just so
5:42 day of course we had to get an ice cream
5:44 as well for The Full [Music]
5:46 [Music] Experience
5:58 [Music] here
5:59 here [Music]
6:05 one weekend day we rented bikes and went
6:08 to nanzen Temple I love traveling and
6:11 seeing all these beautiful places but I
6:14 often need little moments of Stillness
6:16 which I can always experience in
6:20 nature are you guys ready for hiking some
6:25 hiking so I found a little path behind
6:28 the temple that leads up the
6:30 mountain when I take time to go to
6:32 Nature I feel like it's the place where I
6:33 I [Music]
6:36 [Music]
6:40 belong many of us me included are often
6:42 hiking to the top always the image of
6:45 The Summit in mind probably already
6:47 thinking about what to do after reaching
6:52 the top even though we're not even there
6:55 yet we often don't stop for a second and
6:56 take time to become aware of all the
7:01 Little Wonders surrounding us
7:04 as I said in my last video I want to be
7:07 more as I was as a child seeing magical
7:09 worlds in every Pond and any [Music]
7:19 plan we often go through life waiting
7:21 for great things to happen even though
7:23 they are already
7:25 present sometimes we just have to wake
7:29 them
7:32 like the wind and sunshine touching my
7:34 skin the sun shining through the leaves
7:37 creating beautiful patterns on the
7:39 ground the sound of water coming from
7:42 the top of the mountain and the homes of
7:51 everywhere all of these are miracles of
7:53 life that just wait to be [Music]
8:05 [Music]
8:07 Nori and I went to elementary school
8:10 together so we are friends since a long
8:13 time and a few years ago we created a
8:16 jewelry and clothing brand
8:18 together all the pieces are inspired by
8:20 the magic of the present
8:23 moment so while we were there in the
8:25 forest we also took some pictures of
8:28 them we don't even need any Studio
8:29 because nature here is the most beautiful
8:36 background we actually decided to not
8:38 even go up the mountain and just stayed
8:41 at the beautiful pathway until the sun
8:47 mountain afterwards we just biked
8:50 through the city without any plan we
8:52 encountered an artist and listened to
9:18 I'm so glad that you enjoyed my last
9:20 video and I hope you could also find
9:27 one I shared a lot of my deepest beliefs
9:29 with you and I'm so thank thank F that you
9:36 listened I hope I could inspire you to
9:38 look out for the Wonders surrounding and within
9:39 within [Music]

9:52 video I will see you again really soon [Music]
