Looking at various videos that were shared, I find it interesting how many Japanese end up traveling to Japan. I think of this as interesting mainly because in America a lot of people vacation outside of their state or even out of the country. Though the way they travel I feel is very similar in the sense of activities. I noticed some people vacationing at the beach, which of course is very common here. I also noticed people visiting other landmarks like temples, hiking trails, and restaurants. Nearly all the videos mentioned and showed food/restaurants. However, I think a lot of the vacationing areas shown in the video are more in nature than America usually does. I mean this in the sense that a lot of people in America when they travel, shop. Instead of it only being for souvenirs people will shop at stores in the area and consider that vacation activities. A lot of tourist attractions are indoors, like escape rooms, theaters, and performances. I wonder if there's something that is different between the two societies or if it could be that America doesn't have as much nature or beauty in that nature as Japan does.
In the Marugoto topic, I found it super interesting learning more about Nara Park. I've seen Nara Park in many videos of people going there, but I never knew the other side of the park, the stall vendors. I also didn't know about deers being the messengers of the gods. I find it is a common theme to wanting peace and quiet in many of the spots shown in these videos. Every vacation spot seems to have such a big length of history placed on it. Even the pond has its own name and history.
