Tetsu & Reid
Добавлен 6 май 2023
Hello! We are Tetsu and Reid, a Japanese and American couple living in Japan with a goal to travel around the country, van style!
We chose this path after being separated for three years due to boarder closures. We want to make up for our lost time together.
This is our experience buying a used van in Japan that we are converting into a livable space for our trip. We will show the process of creating our micro home and the travel that follows next!
初めまして！Tetsu & Reid です。日本とアメリカの国際カップルで日本で車中泊をしながら旅をしています！
なぜこの道を選んだかというと、新型コロナウイルスの発生により、2年半ほど遠距離でお互いの国にも入国できなく会えない状況が続き、貴重な2年半を大切な人と過ごすことができませんでした。
2022年に結婚し、やっと配偶者として一緒にいれることになり、2年半の時間を取り戻そうと、2人で日本一周することに決めました！中古車の軽バンを購入し、素人ながらDIYをして、この車で旅をできるようになりました！車のDIYの様子や、旅の様子を一緒に楽しんでいただけたら嬉しいです！ゆるーく応援していただけると幸いです！よろしくお願い致します！

Hiking Through Five Ice blue ponds at Goshikinuma Ponds in Fukushima! [五色沼, 福島]
Snow!? After viewing the beautiful Totsube sakura tree we are waiting once again for somewhere to start blooming. Spring in Fukushima feels like a rollercoaster of winter...spring...winter...spring. I can see why some sakura bloom in winter! Join us at the Goshikinuma ponds were we hike through the snow and hide from bears once again.
If you are interested in this hike then we highly recommend searching the bus schedule beforehand unless you want to do the hike twice!

Sakura time! Finally the sakura are blooming and we are so excited! Join us on our sakura journey north! For the next month and a bit we will be chasing the sakura. Usually we travel from place to place and move gradually. This time we are going to whatever is blooming! This means our travel pattern is very wonky. We move up and down many times as we chase the sakura. Sakura petals are very fra...

It's Natto time. If you don't know natto, it's a sticky fermented bean. It is a very common food in Japan and rather popular. It is less popular with those unaccustomed to the strong taste and texture. For example, Reid despises it! It is very healthy and high in protein. We've stumbled upon a natto area and go to try natto ramen, and original unprocessed natto. We also visit Hitachi Seaside Pa...

A great start to Ibaraki! We visit a few places this time, including large tourist spots and teeny tiny ones! The Sakura is starting to fill out and the birds are singing! Ibaraki definitely won Tetsu over with their ocean side fish markets. Join us for some nature, birds, and fish? 茨城の旅が始まりました！ 鳥さんたちと戯れ、魚と戯れ、自然と戯れました。 最高の旅の始まりの予感？神磯の鳥居！本当に綺麗でした。。。 Hello!

Our journey north is off to a rough start but we quickly turn it around! Sakura season has started and we will move with the blossoms. We stop by Narita airport at a large sakura park right next to the runway. While we were about a week too early for the sakura, we really enjoyed watching the planes. We head too Kashima Jingu, the oldest Shinto shrine in the Kanto area! There is so much history...

Oshima Island, aka the home of Godzilla! We spent a few days on Oshima island (technically Tokyo!) Tetsu's sister toured us around the island showing all the known and unknown spots. We were very lucky to have a knowledgeable tour guide! Oshima is an ACTIVE volcano. Essentially the entire island is just part of the volcano. It has a forest, desert, cliffs, and much more. It's a very unique plac...

Our last few days in Shizuoka! We traveled to some beautiful nature-filled spots. Many of these were very far out into the middle of nowhere, but some are closer to town with transportation! We are sad to leave Shizuoka, we really loved it. Also look out for the rare deer we saw! originally we thought it was a wild boar because our brains could not wrap our heads around on what it could possibl...

The rain has finally cleared and the weather is great! After discovering a little hidden Mt. Fuji spot we head to two temples, one easier than the other to get too! Shizuoka was filled with incredible beaches and coves and we want to come back to swim when it's hotter. Compared to the other prefectures we've been too so far, Shizuoka felt really unique. Really recommended for those looking for ...

After visiting Kawazu on what seemed to be a beautiful spring day, the rest of our journey in Shizuoka ended up with mostly cold rainy days. This was our only time to be here so we adapted our plans with the rain! We checked the weather constantly and when we couldn't avoid it we ventured out umbrella-less or found places with cover. Shizuoka was a very beautiful prefecture and we enjoyed it a ...

Dougashima Cave in Izu, Shizuoka. This was a great day trip area, visit the glowing blue cave first, then hike up the cliff side, and finish the day with some beach cats! Shizuoka is filled with volcanic cliffs surrounding the ocean side, so there are too many places to choose from when visiting. If you're having trouble picking which spot we recommend here! 堂ヶ島に日本の青の洞窟があると聞き行ってきました！海の青さと神秘的な洞窟...

It's Sakura time! After flying back to Japan from America we started our sakura journey! (Sakura = Cherry Blossom) In February kawazuzakura starts blooming. The best place to see kawazuzakura is in the place this sakura originated from, Kawazu Shizuoka. This special type of sakura blooms early. We felt we stepped out of winter into spring when we visited the town of Kawazu. These sakura are a d...

Wow so beautiful, I love Fukushima, hope I can visit in spring one day to see that tree!
@@nataliepriddle9909 it’s a great hidden spot!
本当にわかりやすくて感動しました！ さくら綺麗すぎておちっこちびりました！
ありがとう😂
Hermit crabs are so cute ❤
Yes, they were! But Reid was a little scared lol
Eh that is so rude, I can't believe they hit you and tried to run away. I'm glad the damage wasnt too bad
That was crazy... All we wanted was an apology..
I enjoy seeing your different shots at the end!
Thanks 😂 we really struggled with our vision!
very pro , talk to you soon! 🖖
Definitely a 10/10 place! I hope Reid can swim there this summer
When can Reid finally swim! lol
I woke up and hoped to see your content. So glad you uploaded. I will enjoy watching as I still wake up!
Aw thank you so much!! We are glad you enjoy it! ☺️
So many beautiful places, the water colour is always stunning. That tiny moss was sooo cute
Tiny moss was gone when we came back! Somebody bought it!
@@TetsuReid Nooo :(
yare
Beautiful place, love that you snacks for the cats haha
I (Reid) maybeeee keep cat treats in the van at all times 😂
@TetsuReid Haha that is an excellent plan!!!
Such a beautiful place!!!
Thank you!! We loved it!
Do you paid for the stamps?
Yes, they are usually ￥500 but some smaller temples have them for ￥300 or special double paged ones for ￥1000! You can also collect regular stamps for free at train stations and michi-no-ekis!
Very useful for anyone considering van life! You should include the total cost it took to build your van as well, as I’m sure that was a major upfront expense.
Thank you! It was a lot for sure! Not only money but time too.
This is on my list , could you tell me what date you go there?
We went on October 26, 27th! Apparently, you can see the view with Cherry Blossom in April too! Thanks for your comment!
Amazing Fuji time-lapse ❤ really interesting to hear about costs as well
Tetsu filmed and Reid was sleeping! I'm glad that you noticed the view!
@@TetsuReid Fuji is my favourite! I hope you can continue your van life journey

I hope Reid gets to swim soon! The water around Nagano is so clear and blue!!!
Thank you! I hope so too 😂 I see I have a pattern of saying “can I swim in it?” Everywhere we go!
@@TetsuReid Haha, you do seem very keen on swimming, but with water so beautiful I don't blame you!
hi, where i could get those bus ticket to jomujyi?
Hi there! You don’t need a ticket! You can pay with cash when you exit the bus, or use an IC card such as Suica or Passmo. At the moment you can only get these IC cards on your phone, or one available for tourists at the airport. But cash is totally fine too!
This place was already on my list for this summer and now I am excited after seeing how lovely it looks
We loved it a lot! I wanted to swim in it so badly, let us know if you see people swimming when you go 😂
@@TetsuReid We are going mid-August so it is going to be hot haha. Will report back if we see any swimmers, or if we take a dip! Thanks as always for your videos
@@nataliepriddle9909 definitely going to be hot! Have a great trip and stay cool!!
So beautiful! I can see why you want to live there haha. I hope you get new shoes soon 😂
Wherever there’s trees there is Reid! Thanks for watching and supporting !
I saw another channel that does "living in a van, driving in Japan" kind of videos. I like you guys more because we get an American and a Japanese perspective - best of both! Also you guys are very cute! Love the videos! Have a great time traveling!
Aw thank you! I never thought about it that way! Thank you for following along our journey! It keeps us motivated
Such a beautiful light up, shame it is the last time
Yeah...It's too bad that it's over! We were super lucky that we could go!!
I loved this video! The part about trying different camera angles was very insightful. It was nice to see the interesting food cooking method at the restaurant. All those trees at the onsen were beautiful! Your vlogs make me want to travel around Japan but I want to learn more Japanese before going.
Thank you for watching! We try to try each unique food an area has. Japan has a lot of English signs and menus so it’s easy to get around with limited Japanese. Good luck on your studies! Learning languages is tough work.
Ah I ran out of time to see the pond last year, this has made me want to try again haha. Endless list of places to visit ❤
It's a beautiful spot! apparently we recently heard that it doesn't always look like the photos, it really depends on the condition of the day. For example the water could be musty and cannot see any koi! So maybe we were lucky!
@TetsuReid No way, I didn't realise it might look different, only ever seen clear photos. You definitely got lucky :) beautiful video as always
@@nataliepriddle9909 we went mid morning on a sunny day! The day before was also sunny or at least no rain and there was no wind. Hope that helps haha. Thanks!
@TetsuReid Thank you. Not sure I'll have time on my summer trip, but one day :)
Thank you for another great video! I love the smaller, more authentic view of Japan from you guys!
Thank you so much!! We go not only big sightseeing places but also little nature and sightseeing places! We love nature!
I visited all three last year and I think Ainokura was my favourite of them all :) nice to see them in autumn
Our favorite too! Thanks so much for supporting our channel and commenting, it always cheers us up!
You are very welcome, thank you for continuing to make your videos and sharing your travels, they are always enjoyable to watch (and I end up with more places to visit haha!)@@TetsuReid
@@nataliepriddle9909 They are wonderful places! Let us know if you come to see them!
Stunning sunrise!!!
Thank you! It was so so early but there was a small crowd of photographers, popular spot!
haha she is so cute she finished the drink 😂😂
Yeah....Tetsu's strawberry smoothieeeeee lol
The onsen river looks so good. I'd love to visit
We highly recommend it! That was one of our favorite parts too
Regarding Shirohone onsen, can you ware swimsuit in the onsen? Or all people are naked? Thanks.
Shirahone onsen is a small onsen town! Most of the onsen here are part of a ryokan. you cannot wear a swimsuit to the one we went too. There is another onsen there called Awanoyu that has a mixed bath that might let you wear a swimsuit but we are not sure, according to the reviews no one goes in with a swimsuit!
Thank you. Enjoy you trip.
Oide park is definitely on my list for my visit to Hakuba this summer!
We definitely recommend that!! It is free park and parking was free as well! It was so beautiful!

A purrrfect night! She was so cute and liked the van!
That metal bridge was terrifying haha. Now I want to go back to Kofu for those beautiful waterfalls ❤
There was definitely a lot of…questionable parts in the hike haha. Definitely recommend it but for sure turn around at the cliff unless you enjoy rock climbing with no safety and the feeling of impending doom!
@@TetsuReid Haha, impending doom isn't my favourite, good advice :)
