Dear Noraly, for many years now, you have shown us some of the most beautiful places on our planet. But the most wonderful thing you have taught us is that, all over the world, there are lovely, helpful, and friendly people—regardless of their culture or religion. That gives us all hope. Your accounts of landscapes, as well as the people, their cultures, and their celebrations, are incredibly educational. For this, millions of people across the globe are—rightly—immensely grateful to you. Please always stay safe and, above all, stay healthy, because we all love you dearly. Sending you my warmest regards from the Eifel region in Germany. ❤❤❤❤❤

About the roads: Most of those narrow paved roads date from Japan's post-war era, roughly 1950s–1980s. During the economic boom, the government poured enormous money into infrastructure — even tiny mountain villages got paved farm roads, bridges, and tunnels. Japan has one of the world's highest road-paving rates because concrete construction was a pillar of the post-war economy ("doken kokka" — the construction state). Then people left. Since the 1990s, rural Japan has hemorrhaged residents (aging population + migration to Tokyo/Osaka). Roads built for a village of 300 households now serve maybe a dozen elderly residents.

The people are so respectful of their country and surroundings. Such a shame other nations treat theirs as a dumping ground

I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, but I never imagined you’d actually visit my hometown! I’m so happy—I hope you have a wonderful time here. Welcome to Ehime!

I'm battling cancer, and watching you explore the beautiful, forgotten corners of Japan brings tears to my eyes. 😢💔🇯🇵 Seeing you ride freely through these quiet mountain roads reminds me of all the places I once dreamed of visiting and the adventures I kept postponing, thinking I would always have more time. 🥺❤ I used to dream of exploring Japan, breathing the fresh mountain air, crossing peaceful bridges, and discovering places untouched by crowds. But now, my greatest wish is simply to recover, wake up without pain, and have another chance to experience the beauty of this world with my family. 🙏💔 Sometimes, the saddest part of life isn't the places we've never visited, but the moments we thought we had forever to experience. If you could take ONE final journey anywhere in the world with someone you love or deeply miss, where would you go, and who would you want beside you? Please keep me and everyone fighting cancer in your prayers. May God protect you on every road and bless every kind soul reading this. 🕊❤

I was not expecting Japan to be so quiet outside of the cities.  Also so incredibly stunning!

日本の国土は山がちで人が住める面積は２７％に過ぎません。 山に囲まれた盆地に町があり、ほとんどの場合、それを結ぶ街道は急峻な山の間の川に沿って築かれました。 かつては人が歩くためだけの細い道でした。新しく自動車道路ができると、街道沿いの人たちだけが利用する道として残りました。こんな道路が日本中にたくさんあります。 土砂崩れでふさがったり、「落石注意！」「XX年〇〇月転落」なんて警告が並んでいて、背中がゾクゾクする道もあります。 でも、ライダーなら走ってみたくなるんですよね。ノラリーさんお気をつけて。

Japan’s infrastructure is quite amazing as well as the cleanliness. And wasn’t that a cool ferry??? The quiet little town looked so peaceful for a good rest. Thanks for showing us Japan, Noraly. I’m loving it!

Your ride through the gorge is one of the most beautiful rides I have seen on your channel. It’s one of those places you want to stop every 5 minutes and look at everything 😊 One can sense the peace and tranquility in these Japan episodes. Thank you, Noraly ❤
