Well....welcome! 😃

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

3:34: "And usually, at the front of these shrines, a torii gate...like these...mark the entrance to Shinto Shrines and recognizable symbols of the religion." Is there a clarification you'd want past that? For example, are you referring to why that shape is chosen? Thanks for the comment, by the way. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

@carlrosa1130 yes... why the shape? and why the elements of the construction, such as the two horizontal beams and the curve upward and such?

@@ShaneHerrick Good question and thanks fo r the reply. The problem with answering it is because not all torii gates have the same shape. They use the same 'style' of two posts with a top bar..but some don't have the arched top - just straight. Others use highly ornate torii gates and some are downright dull and 'boring.' Some have angeled legs and some are straight/vertical. Check out these torii gates: Gate 1: gethiroshima.com/features/miyajima-shrine-gate-renovation-officially-completed/ Gate 2: japanjourneys.jp/yamanashi/kawaguchiko/attractions/tenku-no-torii/ Gate 3: zekkeijapan.com/article/index/643/?page=2 The 'design' of the toriis seem to be very open to artistic flair. I'd like your opinion as well.

Thank you so much. I'm working on a similar video about the Emperor and Imperial palace. Lots of things no one would ever know!

Because people want to visit foreign lands and people are afraid to travel there without understanding it. If someone from their own land can explain it in a similar way (that makes it relatable), it helps people.

First off - I'm excited for you! I''ll be there in November as well! I'm bringing three tour groups through Japan from October 15th - December 1st. I'll be in Japan for about 46 days straight. I have SO many recommendations for you. It really depends on what you enjoy doiing - food, photography, history, fitness, relaxation, books, shopping, etc. I can help you here (chatting here) or you can email me at carldrosa@yahoo.com. Whichever you like. And if you're going to Hiroshima/Miyajima - yes. LOTS of recommendations!

Thank you for the comment. Yes - 'Welcome to Miyako Michi" waterfall. I bring everyone there. But...directly across the street is the New Miyako Hotel with a vending machine room that includes - vending machine hot dogs, rice to go, whiskey and scotch and corn dogs. Just an FYI. Thanks again for the comment.

Thank you so much!

Hida Beef is the Japanese Black Cow as well. Called Hida Gyu. Hida Beef originates from the Hyogo prefecture. In the early 80s, a single Japanese Black Cow was introduced to the region to enhance the quality of the meat. Since then, farmers have diligently worked to breed superior cattle for wagyu. The marbling of Hida Beef is exceptionally pronounced, leading to its classification into two categories: regular Hida Beef and Hida Wagyu Beef, with the latter being rated A4 or A5. You'll find it identical to Kobe Beef. Either way - Hida or Kobe, you'll be very very very happy. Enjoy!

@@carlrosa1130 we were able to make a reservation for tonight 🤗🥩🎉 I’ll update you about our experience

@@carlrosa1130 So, this was a great experience! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on this topic and directing us to this nice restaurant. The owner and staff were so friendly and the Hida beef…. man …. 🥰 I showed the owner your vid where you recommend his place and he really liked it! Thanks again for enhancing our amazing journey even more!

@@marcel_vG You made my day. Thank you so much!

Sure! But leave early in the morning (maybe 7 AM) from either Tokyo Station or Ueno station. It will take you about 2.5 hours - 3 hours to get there. So you would be in Echigo Yuzawa by 10:00 am. Then you'll have the whole day. You'll LOVE IT.

Kanzawa is nice as well. I was there two weeks ago. My most recent video (about Kobe Beef) that I uploaded about 1 week ago starts with the opening of Kanazawa station. It's a great spot too. Hope you enjoy Kyoto!!!!

@@carlrosa1130 cool! I’ll certainly check that video out as we have an upcoming daytrip to Kobe in the next days 😃

I so agree with you, SpaceMuffin.

I love Fushimi Inari! I was there about 2 months ago (again). I only go there now at about 7 am. Hardly no one is there other than the cleaning crew, sweeping the steps. And you can get some amazing photos. But by 9 am/10 am, it's packed.

My pleasure! Thank you for commenting!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

I'm going to assume that is something referring to anime?

@@carlrosa1130 ye to jujutsu kaisen

Thanks for the comment!

Thank you so much!

Thank YOU for the comment. It is truly appreciated. I just returned from Japan and about to upload a video about Kobe Beef/Wagyu/Matsusaka Beef tomorrow night. Then, I'm teaching about 20 sushi classes and flying back to Japan again. Then, I'm heading back to Kakegawa - a region for the finest green tea fields in all of Japan.

Thank you so much!

Yep. I always catch myself too later on that one. I have always struggled with remembering whether it needs an 'e' or not. Glad you caught it. You definitely caught one of my 10,000 blunders in these videos, LOL. Good catch! 🤣

@@carlrosa1130 well my dad made the same mistake and my name is "Shiney" ( real name lol )

@@silviagonzalez1814 Ha Ha. That's awesome! And thanks for the comment, too. I hope you enjoyed the video.

Thank you so much. As I indicate within the video description, you can add many more things to it - fish roe, paprika, etc....but this was the most basic and easy spicy mayo to make at home. I keep it simple. 🙂

It's a phenomenal place. The mindset of their overall lifestyle translates...every through inexpensive stationary. Thanks so much for the comment!

No, I don't think you understand the 'small changes' and how they apply. Apple most certainly doesn't use Kaizen.

Thank YOU for the comment!

Thank you for the comment. I'm very slowly working on the second video...and using Kaizen to do it. It will take time...but it will be PERFECT. 🙂

Culture, combined with history, is extraordinarily complicated. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for the comment. I respectfully disagree about the second part of your comment. When someone is visiting Japan for the first time (which is what my channel is all about) and they've never stepped foot into Japan before, they will not understand the intricacies of separate fares, fare ticket and express ticket, etc. When someone visits Japan for the first time and they are planning to visit multiple cities, the cost savings and basic convenience of a standard JR Pass are immeasurable. Thanks again for the comment.

@@carlrosa1130 I would have spent £400 for the journies I did. Buying separate fares cost around £200. So in my case it was not worth the JR pass this time. If I was going more than the destinations then yes, but it would have be a lot more than the 4 I did this time round.

@@badabing8884 I understand...and thank you for the comment! Did you enjoy Japan?

Thanks for the comment! About 3 months or longer. It will mature with age until it has a fantastic flavor...but after 4 months, I would be skeptical.

There are actually two Hachiko Statues in the area - one is at the Shibuya Station and one is in front of Tower Records, about 3 blocks away from the same train station.

Working on more now! :)

No, if it's the busiest crosswalk on the planet, it's not ordinary.
