The Samurai Town of 10,000 Cranes & The Secrets within Japanese Gardens (4x22)

Ausstrahlung: Dez 16, 2019

Our reporter heads to Izumi in Kagoshima Pref.'s northwest to a neighborhood with about 150 samurai residences, one of Japan's largest remaining clusters, showing how the warriors were always prepared for battle. The samurai once cared for the cranes migrating to Izumi so well, that today 10,000 cranes migrate to the area for the winter, Japan's largest migratory population of cranes. Also, our correspondent encourages us to let our imaginations roam in the gardens of Shiga Pref., near Kyoto Prefecture.
