I'm your host Emma.

Today, I'm here with Jordan and we're here in Hashimoto.

You know, today I feel like climbing a mountain, you know, I feel like climbing a mountain, a mountain.

I don't want to climb a mountain man.

I'm tired.

I want to, I don't want to use my own leg.

If only there was a way to climb a mountain without the use of my legs.

Well, jordans there is, we're getting on a train that climbs the mountain, baby can't wait for it.

A special sightseeing train tank.

Ooh, Ooh, that's what we're going to head to the Khoisan area.

Get on the train and see some sights along the way.

Very excited.

Shall we?

So we've been climbing the mountain in the trains.

Very fun, very nice, very beautiful.

We're actually going to 443 m above sea level.

Geez that highlight train, we're going again.

Oh, you can do a train take me above sea level.

Okay, mm hmm, mm hmm.

Where is Switzerland mama mama Mia.

We're in Switzerland.

That's not, this train is designed.

Mm hmm.

Thank you.

Mm hmm.

So, we're here in the mountains of Wakayama in a pretty special town.

It's said that one in three people in the city are monks.

This area is called and we're in a cemetery right now.

It's like the most beautiful cemetery I've ever been to.

It's so, so gorgeous.

But we're here to see something very special.

It's the sweating.

Apparently it takes on all of the since the bad things, the wrongdoings people have done and it's just sweating a lot because of that.

It's just like, it's just like, oh God yeah, I didn't hear as it is, it's a moist stone.

Apparently the back is always damp.

So that's why it's also a really interesting well that I want to check out the scary one.

It's scary.

Well, so let's go over here and check it out.

So apparently if you look into the well and you don't see your reflection, you will die within three years.

Do you want to look in the well, I kind of don't want to look at it.

I'd rather not know.

But I'm gonna look in the, well I think we have to, I'm going to find out if I'm going to die in the next three years.

I'm hoping I don't have plans, but it's like so aggressive, usually so aggressive like oh if you don't see it, you'll have bad life or something.

It's like, no, you're gonna die, Okay, I'm gonna live, you're gonna live Oh wow, it's very deep, lean very forward.

Oh God.

There I am.

I live to eat ramen another day.

I'm gonna live boys.

Oh my God, Really, really stressed.

I don't want to die man, Okay, we're about to go up this set of stairs and there are 43 steps, we have to go up all of them because if we don't, we die, 42 is like she me so death.

So we have to get to the 43rd step to get past death.

So let's do this.

You're gonna make, what if I could do it?

I get overcome death.

We did it.

We did it.

We overcame death were okay.

Mm hmm.

Let me show you guys my room.

Look at where I'm staying.

We'll get a private room and it's very sweet, very traditional.

But they have a massive protests in the middle.

So if you guys want to find me, I'm just, oh, I'm just going to be here.

So I'll see you guys later when it's time for dinner.

Oh my God.

So we spent the day wandering around in Koya San a place famous for Japanese Buddhism.

It's actually got a history of over 1200 years and temples that we've got to check out today but now we have finally come to Mario Quoi which is a temple hotel kind of thing?

It's really like old, traditional and beautiful.

But right now we're just about to have some cogent bot which is like a monk meal, traditional monk meals, meals.

It's typically always vegetarian or vegan vegan.

I think it's vegan monks I think typically don't consume animal products.

So it's all really fresh seasonal vegetables and just really, really good.

I've had it before.

But this is, this is, I've never had it before.

This is my first time.

It looks fantastic I guess ah and the crunch.

Mm so good.

They also have these big old beans that Jordan was like before she wants us to open the blue one, are you ready?

It's so good.

Like really beautiful.

Okay.

Mm hmm.

Mhm, mm hmm.

Mhm Yeah.

Mhm.

Good morning everybody.

Morning.

Good morning.

How'd you sleep really well actually fantastically well we had to get up at five a.m. Five.

It was well I got up at five AM I think.

Yeah, I was with my eyes open at five.

It was five.

I was like man, it is early but it was worth it because we got to see like the morning prayers in the, in the buddhist temple which was yeah, I've never seen anything like it.

It felt really like unique and you know we got kind of involved.

We got to go through and and pray and and I don't know how to describe, I don't know the words for what they did a ritual they do as they're praying.

And I'm sitting in my chair in the front woman comes and come join us and I was like what me but obviously my first, I'm doing what I'm doing.

So just like sort of copying the people in front of me but like everyone was like super friendly, didn't understand something that really willing to help you out.

Like there's a part of like tea and I was like, do I drink I drink this?

I was like what am part?

And I was like, it's forgotten.

I was like, thank you.

Don't drink, don't drink the tea.

But it was, it was really beautiful.

And then afterwards we got to go and have tea and sweets with the monks.

It's really about community.

I felt really connected to everybody and really like, I don't know like a part of something.

It felt really, really nice.

It's pretty good.

It was fun.

So we've had breakfast.

It's a bit of a chilly morning but we've got to get out of here.

We're going to do some knife making my earrings and today we have a little knife earrings.
