Kawakami is a small farming village in the mountains of Kamikawa in central Hyogo, Japan. It's one of my favorite villages to walk through with its terraced rice fields and flowing canals alongside a cascading river. The sound of flowing water is almost everywhere, and in this early-summer season the green from the rice fields looks unreal. It is the rainy season now, so later in the walk we are treated to a nice bit of rain.

If you are interested in what this village is like on a sunny day, I filmed a walk here a few months ago:    • Sunny Afternoon Walk in a Quiet Mount...
