NHK Cycle Around Japan - The Old Hokuriku Kaido (2022) 720p HDTV x265 AAC MVGroup

Japan's pre-modern network of highways, the Kaido, is now largely forgotten. We explore the Old Hokuriku Kaido between Fukui and Niigata Prefectures, discovering unique local cultures inspired by travelers on the old highway. Visiting post stations that provided food and rest for weary voyagers, and the castle town of Kanazawa, with its wooden machiya townhouses, we also meet an artist in glass and some inventive highschoolers revitalizing their town with locally-sourced products.
