This time we visited a village called Momoyozuki, which exists in Kumano City, Mie Prefecture.
It is a well-known place, so many of you may be familiar with it.
As far as I know, there are not many images of this place on the Internet, and I always had a sense of crisis that the place might disappear in a real sense in the near future if nothing is done.
It was a difficult place to reach, but as part of historica's mission, it was absolutely necessary to visit and document it.
With the cooperation of all those involved, we were finally able to make it happen.
First of all, I would like to express my utmost gratitude to Mr. Azuma for his cooperation in filming.
This place has passed through various histories from ancient times to the present, but it is a mysterious place that continues to fascinate people in every period of its history.
The many legends associated with the unusually beautiful place name "Momoyozuki" have been handed down to the present day, and it is very rare to find such an interesting history in such a small village in such a remote area.
Even today, when the village has been abandoned, it remains as unique as ever, and in fact, we ourselves have been attracted by its charm.
We sincerely hope that this beautiful place will remain for a long time to come.
