Thank you! Hope you enjoy your visit. If you've got time, try and squeeze in Kifune castle on your journey between the 2 areas where the hells are - it's such a cute little castle and you can explore it all by yourself

@@wegoeast will do~

Yep, it's every year! And definitely worth a visit if youre interested in Japan. Sadly you've just missed it - it was on the first weekend of October this year! If you've not been to Japan House I would recommend that in the meantime

I think it took 2 and a bit years to hit 3000!

@wegoeast Good for you well well whoa how did you do that? Any secrets other than just posting quality videos?

@@jetski275 it's different for everyone I think. But it does help to have a period of consistent posting, which we had for about a year (our last year living in Japan), as the algorithm will likely pick up on it. But at the end of the day, you can't substitute engaging subject matter that people want to consume! (But being able to hit this consistently is the real challenge)

Ahh you've noticed my editing error 🤦‍♂️ I vividly remember having photo ready as well, I just forgot to include it in the final render!

We didn't see any matsuri games last year - although I can't say there won't be any this year. Having them would be a great addition, but the event is more of an exposition than a traditional matsuri, which is a shame. Also completely agree with the family friendly thing. The event would be better if it was treated like a proper matsuri, but it would likely be too busy / run into licensing issues (classic UK!)

Yes you could definitely do most of Beppu by using taxis! they're much cheaper than in Tokyo as well

This was filmed in mid november last year!

Thank you! British perspective is always needed haha

Hiya, we always book them at the station! There is really no need to do it beforehand as it can end up being confusing and more expensive. The Green ticket machines at most major stations have english support and you can pay easily by cash or card.

@@wegoeast Thanks for the tip. I got one more question. Where to exchange money. I will pay with cards in restaurants and shops, but if I want to have in cash Yen with me, can you give some tips for that. Does the reception in lets say 4 star hotels exchange money. Or where can I do that in Tokyo or Osaka for example? I know at airport exchange is expensive, so Im not gonna do that.

we used to have "Instructor" visas (valid for 3 years) when we were teachers. But on this trip, we went on a tourist visa!

Thank you! This was filmed back in November

@@wegoeast Great. also planning around same time. Was not forecasting possible snow :)

@@tietcd If you're looking to head to Mt. Aso, you can request winter tyres when you book your rental car. Definitely worth packing a warm coat for a November visit!

@@wegoeast thanks a lot for recommending. Great tip ! Much appreciated

We dont have a dedicated video video on them travelling, but our latest video does talk about them leaving the Sumo (we saw 5 of them driving off in the same car!)

@@licensed2fish おはよう☀️🙋❗

3 weeks on """holiday""'" acting tour guides for the fam 😂

@@wegoeast I know they appreciated you two being good sports

Yes, there are lots of beginner friendly slopes, but the weather is often foggy with poor visibility which makes it a bit more difficult

フィードバックありがとうございます。今後の参考にさせていただきます🙏

Just foot spas at the Hells / Jigoku I'm afraid! If you want to go Swimming, look up the "aqua garden" in Beppu, it's the biggest & best place to swim and it has ana amazing view!

ありがとうございます🙇‍♂️漢字が読めるのはいいですね！

I know I know 4 weeks is a long time! Life and its commitments always getting in the way of what really matters (messing about on RUclips haha)

Yes I believe so! I think it's piped up from the same place as the communal onsen downstairs 😀

@@wegoeast Thanks so much... my wallet will cry, but I think I will book that place... it is not so far from the center of city, slightly off main restaurants, but with included dinner and breakfast I think it could be ok, since I will seek for peace and relaxation that day...😁

@@axios101 and if you do want to head into town, the ryokan isn't far from the station, and then it's 1 stop to Beppu station. Its a really good location :)

@@wegoeast Thanks do You mean it is close to the "Beppudaigaku" station?

@@axios101 yes I do indeed, it's very easy to use and only takes a few minutes to get to central Beppu!

Haha its from H&M!

By accident! 👘

Ours too! Our top 3 are Beppu, Zao Onsen, and Kurokawa Onsen

@@wegoeast OMG! Kaminoyama near Zao is my other favorite. I can't wait to visit Japan again!

​@@wegoeastis it better than Yufuin? Or would you recommend both?

@@hoteru1 If you have the time to do both, then 100% do both. If you've only got 1 or two days, I would focus on Beppu as there's so much more to do than Yufuin. (if you were talking about Kurokawa, check out our most recent road trip videos)

You can still climb Mt. Fuji at night! But between 4pm and 3am you will be required to reserve a mountain hut / officials will check that you have a reservation. Prior to 4pm you can still set off without a hut reservation I believe.

マウントうざいよ

海外に住んでいた者としては、日本人観光客も似たようなもんだよ。

Thanks for the tip! We'll definitely do that next time 🚗

🚔🚔

O, got it oku no yu!

Beat me to it! it really was amazing, the footage doesn't do it justice. The next video we'll be uploading (day 2 of this trip) has more footage of it and Kurokawa Onsen town as well

@@wegoeast can't wait for it! Hope we can get some tips on booking of the ryokans. I've just checked that most ryokans are fully booked. Not sure if it's because my trip in Nov is still too faw away to book?

@@effex1781 that's a very good shout, I'll definitely include details on how to book in the next one 💡

Thank you!
