Happy New Year!! Thank you so much!! We wish the best for you and are excited to continue sharing these places! We really appreciate your support!

すごい偶然！そして二卵性です！笑

You can often see the view of Fuji! Chiba is interesting place! Happy New Year!! We hope you have a good year!

@TetsuReid I haven't visited much in Chiba but I will have to now 😀

Thank you so much!! Kami-kochi song is the best! haha

@@Traveljet14 we hope to take the cable cars next time and hike a bit during the summer!

@@TetsuReid The hydrangeas will be out in summer and they are lovely. We enjoyed Mt. Iwatake and Goryu. Happy travels.

@@Traveljet14 thank you so much for the kind comment. It is definitely a trying environment at times when you think about it but the kinds of things we get to see are those of dreams. And we’ve definitely learned a lot about each other!

@@Traveljet14 thank you! Sometimes it’s hard to wake up that early for these shots. You’re all excited at bedtime but once the alarm goes off you don’t wanna get up!

@ Yes I totally understand😁 Japan is the only place we are forced to wake up early to have breakfast at the ryokans. But never as early as you guys trying to catch the sunrise.

Thank you! When we went they had shuttle buses come very often and we did not have to wait long! They have buses specifically for the park in this season located across town. The ones I know of are at the train station and the parking lots!

@ oh that would be great. You mentioned the video was on April 6 which is a Sat. We will have to give it a try and take it from Fukushima station which I expect to be more crowded than the carpark. The other sakura view we hope to visit will be Funaoka when we are staying at Sendai. Then we move down to Koriyama. If it’s a choice between Kitakata or Hanamimaya and we can only choose one, which would you recommend? Kitakata is more accessible and convenient for us from Koriyama without needing the bus but Hanamimaya has such a natural vibe to it with the mts in the backdrop. We have seen the sakura in our previous travels but seldom get to see the weeping cherry trees. Appreciate your opinion. Thanks.

@@Traveljet14 Thank you for the reply! I am leaning towards the weeping cherries because while both experiences where unique for sakura, the sakura itself was unique as well. This was the only place we went too that had so many weeping sakura. You can also easily step off the trail for a moment and try the Kitakata ramen! Be sure to check the sakura dates as much as you can. This year the sakura bloomed a whole three weeks after the expected time!

@ Thanks again. Yes we will certainly give the Kitataka ramen a try. Keep on sharing your wonderful journeys around Japan. It’s our fav destination especially when we get to stay at the ryokans with natural HOTSPRINGS in Spring and early winter.

@@TetsuReid Thank you. Continue to have great videos of your wonderful journeys in Japan. ❤️

Yes! It's called Azuma Kofuji and Kofuji means small Fuji!

@TetsuReid I'd love to climb it one day :) thanks for another spot for my list

@@swissfoodie3542 thank you so much!

コメントありがとうございます！たしかに今確認したら5円玉に見えるのですが、58秒の後半あたりをよく見ていただきたいのですが、しっかり50円玉です！w 光の関係ですごく5円玉に見えますね！

Yes, we woke up very early and there were many people already! 大洗とても綺麗でした！お日様も綺麗に出てくれて神秘的な朝でした！

本当にそうですよね！ちゃんと謝られたら別なんですが、謝罪がなかったので、なんでそんな態度取れるんですか。。。って思いました。今回の件は、正直こちらも色を塗り直せば良かっただけなので、警察呼んだりはしなかったのですが、ただ誠意のある謝罪はしてほしかったですね。。 そうですね！もう終わったことですので、これからの楽しいことを考えて楽しんでいきます！コメントありがとうございます！

コメントありがとうございます！岐阜大好きな場所になりました！高山の方には今回行けなかったので、いつか行ってみたいです！

Too many times I wanted to take a cat I met home! I hope this place can improve in the future. I heard the other cat island is like this as well

@TetsuReid Lucky you didn't have the van, it would have been full of cats. I guess with depopulation it is hard to care for so many cats, especially if they keep having kittens

@@nataliepriddle9909 Yes we noticed some of the cats had been fixed (chipped ears) I feel someone needs to be in charge in tracking this to help. But maybe someone is in charge and working on it! We have no idea how things are run on the island. and yes I named every cat that I met!

@TetsuReid I hope they can make some positive changes so all the cats can be well. Haha, got to name a cat if you see one!

All that is of course just my opinion. I find it amazing (in a very good way), how most people in Japan respect rules. We could learn so much from Japan in that matter. And please stop appologising Tetsu, you did nothing bad out of intention.

Thank you for this comment! These are all things I’ve thought of too. I’ve stood stunned in front of an owl cafe and shocked at a monkey staring back at me in a pet store. I know there’s no intended harm and it’s a lack of knowledge but as an animal person it’s hard to see! I hope the island can do more for the cats, I think there is a big chance with the amount of tourists to create a better environment for them. I can imagine a local vet, indoor housing, a supervised play area! There’s a lot that can be done here! Thanks for the comment again!

@@swissfoodie3542 Oshima is a very unique spot in Japan! But due to the low population (even with tourists), it’s an area that’s best traveled with a car. Busses are limited in frequency and in location. For example the mountain top dessert is only accessible via car. It’s possible to bike around but only really feasible to do so in the more urban areas. Personally for me (Reid) this is one spot where I would rent a car! Thanks for the comment!

@@TetsuReid Thank you Reid for your answer, much appreciated. As we both dont drive, I think it will be best to not visit Oshima. Because if we are totally limited, its not worth going.

@ I think Oshima is a rare spot in Japan where you need a car! But luckily the majority of Japan you can get by without!

@@swissfoodie3542 being in a country full of trains makes me think of him a lot. I have a lot of appreciation for trains! Make sure to check the cat train master’s working days before you go! It’s up on their adorable Instagram

@@swissfoodie3542 Tohoku has some really incredible sakura, we hope you get to see it! And thanks so much! We really appreciate everyone here! If you see the cat train master let her know we say hi ☺️

Thanks for your comment!

そうなんですか！知らなかったです！教えていただきありがとうございます！

@@nataliepriddle9909 thank you for following along! We really appreciate you! And thanks I (Reid) took a zombie ethics class in high school 😂

@@TetsuReid Haha, I didn't know that was on the US curriculum 🤣 it wasn't an option in my UK school

コメント、貴重な情報ありがとうございます！さくらちゃんとても可愛くて、職員の皆さんもとてもいい方達だったので、また行きたい場所ですー！牛乳屋食堂もまた行ってたらふく食べたいです！笑

@@nataliepriddle9909 we’re so glad your kitty was interested! My cats definitely aren’t 😭

Thank you!!

@@naturescenerychannel thank you!!

@@nataliepriddle9909 it’s a fun experience! It either slows you down or makes your frustrated so you give up and use chopsticks 😂

@@TetsuReid Haha, I'm glad the chopsticks were available! Excited to see the next video with the cat station master

@@nataliepriddle9909 thank you!

The earliest sakura blooms in February in Shizuoka! The latest would be in the Tohoku area around May. So unfortunately no Sakura in November!

@@nataliepriddle9909 we really recommend it! And we’d love to see the castle in autumn as well!

@@wars1005k thanks!

@@nataliepriddle9909 I’m thinking van life is the best way to enjoy the sakura in Japan! 😂

@@TetsuReid For sure!

@@RoyandAimee thank you! Having some validation makes us feel better 😭 At least a sincere apology would have been nice! So now we joke to each other sometimes and say “ja sumimasen.”

We went on November 21st!!

@@TetsuReid No wonder it was cold. Thank you!

@@johndavidco8501 Yeah it was so cold lol You're welcome! Thanks for the comment!

@@nataliepriddle9909 We hope you can see it one day!

@@SalaheerNazaar thank you so much we really appreciate the kind comment!

We think you can wade some part but parts of Nishizawa is deep and dangerous!!

@@nataliepriddle9909 wa seriously? I’ve never seen a magnolia like that before! I have a big magnolia tree in my yard in the states so I had a feeling it was like that? How cool!

​@TetsuReid happy to put my tree knowledge to good use haha. There are a lot of varieties of magnolia, even some evergreen ones. Fun fact, they're so old they're pollinated by beetles not flying insects!

@@nataliepriddle9909 I didn’t know there were different types! The one at my home is an evergreen and I was told these trees are as old as the dinosaurs 😂

@@TetsuReid They are definitely old. That's so interesting, non-evergreen are more popular in the UK
