‘Nagano – Life Deep in the Mountains’ – Cycle Around Japan (NHK World program), VOD available until 19-AUG-18
Australian Paul Salisbury takes on the challenge of a 2,000-meter peak in Nagano Prefecture. The Japan Alps mountain pass provides breathtaking views to inspire him onward and upward.
Off the bike, Salisbury experiences traditions such as the harvesting of wasabi plants in pristine waters and the making of baskets from wild bamboo.
All in all, he travels 300 kilometers across the verdant ridges and valleys of Nagano, finding new encounters around every bend.
