NHK Nippon Nippon Longitudinal Tour “What is Kokorotabi?
Actor Shohei Hino will visit unforgettable landscapes in your “heart” every day with his bicycle “Chario” (sometimes he takes Chario with him on trains, buses, boats, and even light trucks! ).
The destination of the trip will be decided by the episodes of “scenery of the heart” submitted by our viewers in their letters or on our website. The destinations are chosen based on the stories submitted by our viewers in their letters and on our homepage.
Over the past two years, we have traveled 3,600 km in 36 prefectures and visited 192 heartwarming landscapes.
In the spring of the third year, the tour will travel north from Kagoshima to Kyushu, then from the Kinki region to Yamanashi via Gifu and Nagano, the roof of Japan.
