7-Day Trip from Tokyo to Kyoto: Episode 2 | Japan's New Golden Route | japan-guide.com - Duration: 6:54.
Previously on Episode One.
In this three part series we are taking a seven day six night trip from Tokyo to Kyoto,
but not by the usual route along the Pacific coast known as the "Golden Route", which
most tourists take.
Instead we are traveling through Japan's "New Golden Route" which delves into the
country's rural interior, continues along the beautiful Sea of Japan coast, and finishes
at Kyoto.
A great way to travel along this New Golden Route is the Hokuriku Arch Pass, a 7-day pass
exclusively available to overseas tourists that allows for unlimited use of all the JR Lines
shown on this map, including the Hokuriku Shinkansen.
In episode one, which covered the first two days of our adventure, we made our way from
Tokyo to the Snow Monkeys in Nagano.
Now in Episode 2 we'll make our way along the Sea of Japan coast and end in the mountain
town of Takayama.
So join me, Sam Evans, as we travel from Tokyo to Kyoto along Japan's New Golden Route.
Day 3
We start the day traveling to Itoigawa City in Niigata Prefecture, where we'll enjoy
a scenic bike ride along the coast before having lunch at a local sushi shop.
We then head to Toyama Prefecture where we will take a train into the Kurobe Gorge, one
of Japan's deepest and most beautiful gorges, and end our day at Kuronagi Onsen.
After getting off the Hokuriku Shinkansen at Itoigawa Station, we backtrack a little
and take a local train to reach the town of Nou, where we head to the "Marine Dream"
roadside Station.
From there we'll enjoy a scenic 40 min bike ride along the coast, all the way to Sushi
Katsu, a sushi restaurant not far from Itoigawa Station.
It's the morning of Day 3 of our adventure and we are here in Nou in Niigata Prefecture.
Now what we're going to do this morning is hire a rental cycle and cycle a few kilometers
down that way into central Itoigawa.
It's a beautiful day, the birds are singing, so let's get on with this!
So we've got the rental bike, let's go!
We just arrived at Sushi Katsu, a traditional local sushi restaurant right by the coast
so you can bet the fish is going to be amazingly fresh.
Following our delicious sushi lunch we make our way by Hokuriku shinkansen and local train
to Unazuki Onsen.
There, we transfer to the Kurobe Gorge Railway to Kuronagi Station.
Our stop for the night is the remote riverside Kuronagi Ryokan located a picturesque 20 minute
hike from the station.
So we finished our wonderful riverside bath and we've sat down to our 3rd night's
meal.
And it's a traditional ryokan meal, which we've had now 3 nights in a row but notice
that they are all different, depending a lot on local specialties.
Day 4
After an enjoyable ryokan breakfast we head further up the gorge to Keyakidaira, the final
station of the Kurobe Gorge Railway, where we will take in some of the beautiful landscapes
before travelling all the way to Takayama, to enjoy some of the local cuisine.
We just arrived at Keyakidaira the final stop on the Kurobe Railway.
This place is famous for its natural beauty so let's go and explore.
It's now time to make a journey towards Takayama via the Hokuriku Shinkansen from
Kurobe-Unazuki Onsen to Toyama, and then take the Takayama line to Takayama, where we'll
head to the famous Old Town district to end our day with some local delicacies.
After starting out the day in the kurobe gorge we finally arrived in Takayama, which is famous
for its Old Town, and it's one of the most beautiful and well preserved in all of Japan.
When in Takayama there are 2 must try things: the delicacy of Hida Beef, and the local sake.
Tonight we're in a sake brewery's restaurant where I am going to enjoy both, ahead of our
big day tomorrow in which we are going to explore Takayama's old town before heading
on to Kanazawa.
Itadakimasu!
And that concludes Episode 2 of our journey.
Make sure to join us in Episode 3, as we explore more beautiful locations
and enjoy unique experiences
and finally make our way to Kyoto where our adventure will come to an end.

Use Mind Power To Guide You To Wealth (Learn The Secret!) - Duration: 12:56.
How to hear the gentle, invisible voices that can guide you to wealth.
Your subconscious mind seeks to protect you at all times.
Therefore, you should learn to listen to the inner promptings of intuition.
Your subjective self governs all your vital organs and will continue to maintain them
in equilibrium and balance unless your conscious mind intrudes with worry, anxiety, fears and
negative thoughts.
These negative thoughts upset the Divine norm within your deeper mind.
Within your subconscious mind is the Divine Presence, which you can call your Higher Self,
the Superconscious, the I AM, or "The Christ in you, the hope of Glory."
All these terms mean the same thing.
Your subconscious mind reacts to suggestion and the commands of your conscious mind.
You can, therefore train your conscious mind to recognize the promptings of your subjective
mind in the right direction.
Usually, when you are relaxed and your mind is at peace, your conscious mind is more closely
"en rapport" with your subconscious mind, and then the inner voice of intuition is heard
and felt clearly and distinctly.
The best guide is the knowledge which comes from the correct instructions to your subconscious
mind, which will enable you to distinguish the true from the false.
When you have a sincere desire for the truth, knowing that Infinite Spirit responds according
to the nature of your thought, you will get results.
How cultivation of the intuitive faculty brings riches to you.
You will receive answers and directions from your subconscious mind based on what you consciously
meditate upon.
The question you entertain or turn over to your deeper mind gestates in the darkness
of your subconscious, and when all the data are gathered, you receive instantaneously
that which your intellect, or reasoning mind, could accomplish only after weeks of monumental
trial and error.
When our reasoning faculties fail us in our perplexities, the intuitive faculty sings
the silent song of triumph.
Artists, poets, writers and inventors listen to this voice of intuition.
As a result, they are able to astonish the world by the beauties and glories drawn from
this storehouse of knowledge within themselves.
They have discovered the source of true riches.
Intuition and what it means.
Intuition means the direct perception of truth, independent of any reasoning process, immediate
apprehension, a keen and quick insight.
The word "intuition" also means "inner hearing."
Hearing is not the only way to nurture intuition.
Sometimes it comes as a thought, but the most common way is to "hear the voice."
Intuition goes much farther than reason.
You employ reason to carry out intuition.
Often times you will find that intuition is the opposite of what your reasoning would
have told you.
The conscious mind of man is reasoning, analytical and inquisitive; the subjective faculty of
intuition is always spontaneous.
It comes as a beacon to the conscious intellect.
Many times it speaks as a warning against a proposed trip or plan of action.
We must listen and learn to heed the voice of wisdom It does not always speak to you
when you wish it to do so, but only when you need it.
The riches of clairaudience.
Clairaudience is a faculty of your subconscious mind and means "clear hearing."
The daemon of Socrates is a classical case.
He believed he could clearly hear the inner voice, whose admonitions were always wise.
The voice was usually one of warning.
Moreover, he pointed out that its strongest manifestations were made when his safety or
well being was involved.
His subconscious mind communicated with the conscious mind in words audible to his senses.
This phenomenon is known as clairaudience, and it is based on the most powerful instinct
of the human soul — the instinct of self-preservation.
Socrates believed that the silence of the daemon was an approval of his conduct, and
according to his belief was it done unto him.
A banker discovers the riches of intuition.
A banker friend of mine, who specializes in gold stocks and investments for himself and
special customers, has had extraordinary success in this field.
Some months ago, the name of a foreign gold stock welled up in his mind, and his inner
voice said, "Buy it."
He did so and also advised many customers to do so.
He also intuitively knew the price it would reach within a year.
He and his bank customers have made profits of thousands of dollars.
He has been charging his subconscious mind as follows: "My subconscious mind will make
me instantly aware of the right gold stock to purchase at the right time in the right
way, which will bless me and my customers."
Obviously, he has succeeded in getting the intuitive faculty of his subconscious to respond
according to the nature of his request.
The magic of extrasensory perception was alert to his request and presented him with the
information at the right time.
A most extraordinary experience.
An ex-alcoholic once confessed to the author that at one time he had been in the throes
of a deep depression.
He had placed a pistol to his head intending to commit suicide, when he immediately heard
the commanding words in his ear, "Not, now, with long life will I satisfy you."
He was stunned and desisted from his idea of suicide.
That was forty years ago, and he is still vital, alert and alive and immensely successful
in his profession.
It is well-known and understood that in all cases where danger to the individual is imminent,
the subjective mind makes a supreme effort to avoid and prevent the danger.
It acts and speaks in a way to which the individual will respond.
The highest activity of your subconscious, or subjective mind (I use these words interchangeably),
is exercised in the effort to preserve the life of man.
Remember, the monitions of your deeper self are always lifeward and should be heeded.
That inner voice that seeks to protect you physically, financially and in all ways is
not from supernatural agencies or disembodied entities but from the intuitive faculty of
your own subconscious, which knows all and sees all.
Points to remember.
One.
Your subconscious mind seeks to protect you at all times, and it behooves you to learn
to listen to its inner monitions and promptings at all times.
Two.
When you are relaxed and your mind is at peace, the inner voice of intuition is heard clearly
and distinctly.
Three.
The inner voice often times speaks to you as an inner, persistant feeling, a sort of
hunch, warning you of danger to yourself or a loved one.
Four.
When you have a sincere desire for the truth, and knowing that Infinite Spirit responds
according to the nature of your thought, you will get results.
Affirm boldly that Infinite Intelligence is your constant guide and counselor and that
you will instantly recognize the monitions of your Higher Self.
You will receive answers according to your request.
Five.
You will receive answers and directions from your subconscious according to what you meditate
on.
Six.
Artists, poets, inventors, etc. listen to the inner voice of intuition.
They astonish the world by the beauties and glories drawn from the storehouse within.
Seven.
Intuition means direct perception of truths or facts independent of any reasoning process.
Intuition also means, "inner hearing."
Nine.
The extrasensory faculties of your deeper mind can see the motivations of an employer
and also the future result.
These are hidden from the conscious mind.
When that intuitive feeling wells up telling you not to take the promotion, follow it.
Ten.
After praying about anything specific, the first impression is usually correct.
Eleven.
Clairaudience is a faculty of your subconscious and means "clear hearing."
Self-preservation is the most powerful instinct of the human soul, and many times your subjective
self speaks in a voice to warn you and to protect you.
Twelve.
You can direct your subconscious to guide you always and know that Divine right action
governs you and that you are to be instantly informed about anything you need to know for
your protection.
You may hear a voice saying, "Don't go" — obey it.
Thirteen.
A banker conveys the idea to his subconscious mind that he will be instantly made aware
of the right gold stock to purchase, and the names of particular gold stocks well up from
his subconscious, and he becomes consciously aware of the right gold stock to buy.
Fourteen.
In all cases where danger to the individual is imminent, the subjective mind makes a supreme
effort to avoid danger.
It may speak in a way to which the individual will respond.
Fifteen.
The monitions of your deeper mind are always life-ward and should be heeded.
Sixteen.
If you wish to meet someone and you don't know where the person is, picture yourself
talking to the individual, feel the reality of the experience, dramatize it in your mind
and enter into the tones of reality.
Your deeper mind will bring both of you together in Divine order.
Meditation for the riches of the silence.
"Infinite Intelligence is my constant guide and counselor.
I will instantly recognize the promptings and monitions that come from my Higher Self,
which forever seek to protect, guide, and watch over me in all ways.
I will instantly recognize the 'lead' which comes into my conscious mind, and I
will always disregard groundless fancies.
I know that my deeper mind responds to what I am now consciously writing on it, and I
give thanks for the joy of the answered prayer."
"I know and realize that God is a spirit moving within me.
I know that God is a feeling or deep conviction of harmony, health and peace within me; it
is the movement of my own heart.
The spirit or feeling of confidence and of faith which now possesses me is the spirit
of God and the action of God on the waters of my mind; this is God; it is the creative
Power within me."
"I live, move and have my being in the faith and confidence that goodness, truth and beauty
shall follow me all the days of my life; this faith in God and all things good is omnipotent;
it removes all barriers."
"I now close the door of the senses; I withdraw all attention from the world.
I turn within to the One, the Beautiful, and the Good; here, I dwell with my Father beyond
time and space; here, I live, move and dwell in the shadow of the Almighty.
I am free from all fear, from the verdict of the world, and the appearance of things.
I now feel His Presence, which is the feeling of the answered prayer, or the presence of
my good."
"I become that which I contemplate.
I now feel that I am what I want to be, this feeling or awareness is the action of God
in me; it is the creative Power.
I give thanks for the joy of the answered prayer and I rest in the silence that 'It
is done."

A Guide to Investment Banking | The Tab | J.P. Morgan - Duration: 2:03.
GEORGIE: So, this is how Investment Banking works.
These are my flatmates, ZACH and LUCY.
They represent the client, a large company.
These clients come to an investment bank for guidance on the structure of their debt or
equity.
They also come to the investment bank to find investors or to float their business on the
stock market.
In this example, the client is trying to merge with another company.
ZACH: We've just found our dream house for next
year, but the problem is, there are six bedrooms and only three of us.
LUCY: We basically need to find three more housemates.
ZACH: Ones we actually want to live with.
GEORGIE: That's where I come in – as the investment
bank, I use my research and understanding of the industry to advise clients on the best
acquisitions to make, and how to do it.
Look, I heard the guys in Flat 4 talking about how they're struggling to find a house for
next year – why don't we ask them if they want to merge?
LUCY: Ooh good idea, I'll text them now!
GEORGIE: It's also the investment bank's role to
negotiate the terms of the merger or acquisition.
LUCY: Hello?
Ah...
OK.
They say they can't afford it – none one is willing to go above £80 a week.
GEORGIE: Hiya!
Look, we'll cut you a deal – you guys can pay less if you're willing to take the
smaller rooms.
Also, did Lucy mention how close the house is to uni?
What you'll be paying in rent you'll be saving by not having to get the bus.
ZACH: I'll send them pictures so they can see
how beaut it is inside.
GEORGIE: Uh huh, uh huh,
I think they're tempted!
Yeah, really nice house, really big, great for parties.
GEORGIE: It's the role of the investment Bank to
act as a trusted advisor to clients in their corporate finance decisions, and to use the
investment bank's research and insight into the industry, to guide them in their investments,
equity and debt.
Yeah, yeah.
Amazing, we'll send you the stuff over now.
They're in!
LUCY: Oh yes!
I'll call the landlord.

What is Branding? A Guide for Independent Musicians - Duration: 7:26.
what's up guys in this video we're talking about branding what is it how do
you do it and we're gonna reveal the number one
myth about branding
what's up guys it's Brandon from KDMR Music teaching you how to succeed in the
music business and so today we're talking about branding now in the social
media age branding is a huge buzzword we've got people like Gary Vaynerchuk
and Casey Neistat and all sorts of people on the internet who are trying to
motivate you into building your own personal brand and there's a huge myth
about what exactly a brand is and I want to clear that up for you today so when
people are trying to launch companies whether it's a business whether it's a
new product whether you're launching yourself as an artist a lot of times
people assume that a brand is your website it's the name of your business
it's your logo it's your company colors and those things aren't branding
branding is what you consistently do and I want to just kind of explain and
elaborate on that because branding is not about your colors it's not about
your logo it's not about any of that branding is about what people know you
for because without you having our representing a quality product or
service no one cares what the name is anyway I'm gonna illustrate that point
with a few brands that I have just kind of laying around in my office right now
so Arizona tea that's what I've got here I don't know if you can see it cuz a
little light but this is a can of Arizona tea or it was now it's empty
right what about this says what it is we're getting when we open up a can not
much I mean the name is Arizona so I mean I guess it's hot and you know or
it's hot in Arizona that's really all I know about Arizona said it's a desert
town or a desert state it's hot in Arizona so perhaps if you know you know
you're out in the desert you'll want this and it's refreshing right but
that's not why I buy Arizona tea and that's not what I'm thinking about when
I buy an Arizona tea the reason I buy Arizona tea is because when I was a kid
we used to visit my grandmother all summer in New York and it was super hot
outside and we would come inside from playing
outside all day my grandmother would have these cases of Arizona tea and so
we drink them we drink like five or six of them because they were like 1/4 of
this size and it was just fun so when I think about Arizona tea I think about
the memories associated with you know those summers in New York and I just
want to taste something that transports me back to when I was a kid that's a
great thing about Arizona's brand to me I don't know what they set out to
achieve with their company colors or their logo or I don't know what their
mission statement is I just know that when I drink Arizona tea I feel like I'm
a kid again and I love it so that's Arizona tea just to show you that the
name doesn't matter again here's another thing I've got laying around here and
perhaps this shows how unhealthy I'm being right now but Reese's who is Reese
I don't know who Reese is I'm sure you don't either all we know is that whoever
Reese is he came up with an amazing combination of chocolate and peanut
butter it tastes better than any other chocolate peanut butter combination out
there and so what I'm in the store and I see a Reese's Cup I'm way more likely to
buy it because I trust the Reese's brand so again it's not about what their name
is these could be called peanut butter patties I'd still buy them because they
taste amazing so it's about what you consistently do Reese's Cups always
tastes the same they're always the best out there and so that's what you've got
to do in your music career so let's let's bring this back to music right so
what are some good examples of a personal brand or a brand in music let's
talk about Eminem Eminem we know his music is about being the underdog it's
about rising up to challenges right when we see Eminem he looks very unassuming
he looks like he's still in Detroit you know like he still might be fighting -
you know rise up the ranks even though he's the best selling rapper of all time
Eminem's music speaks to his brand his image speaks to his brand but we only
saw see those things with him because he
consistently delivers on this this underdog idea this this mentality that
you gotta rise to the top no matter what you got to keep fighting and that's why
we love Eminem who's someone else it was another brand let's talk about
Michael Jackson Michael Jackson was like the coolest guy ever he's a smoothest
guy on the dance floor he's wearing the flashiest most glittery outfits he's a
showman everything he did was about the show so out the sizzle it's about the
moment and so when you think of Michael Jackson you think of excellence you
think of the best dance move you've ever heard you think of the best but the best
dance moves you've ever seen think of the best music you've ever heard or at
least the most fun and that's what Michael Jackson represented so your
brand again is not about what colors you are right I don't care what color your
website is if the music's good I'm gonna listen to it and if it's not I'm not
right now there are certain colors that we associate with certain feelings right
so KTM our music one of our accent colors is green because we want to help
you make money with your music and so that green that maybe will
subconsciously remind you of money but when you come to our website you're not
coming there because the website is green you're coming because we're
helping you learn how to succeed so what you've got to do is decide who you are
as an artist you've got to do things that are gonna consistently relate to
that brand image right if your idea is to be a fun artist right you want to
always have fun you're not gonna do a song that sounds sad or depressing
you're not gonna do a photo shoot where you don't look happy because that's not
communicating what your brand is about and that's what branding is branding is
knowing who you are and knowing who you're not so that when anyone sees
anything that comes from you they know that's got to be from you so that's it
for today's message on branding Hey look the music marketing guidebook is
available for pre-order right now we talked about branding we talked about
marketing you talked about the foundations
how to build a successful business in music and how to expand your reach how
to get more fans how to find more listeners and of course make more money
