wouldn't really call it 'the best place' unless you mean Itoshima in general. Keya is nly worth having a look around for 20 mins.it's far from the most beautiful place on the peninsula - just the one where all the tourists go.

Is kiyomizu-dera quiet late afternoon?

You guys in Shima?

Experience life in Japan First! take off your shoes first

The loft space is going to be so awesome ❤

WOW pretty cool

any progress is good progress can't wait until the reno is completed ❤

Wow! Beautiful

Nice

WOW very cool

No, we do have xiaolongbao in America.😄You just need to know where to find it.

Extra sleeping in the top of the Kura like a bunkhouse?

Thanks for showing and explaining "Japanese "Kura" storehouse " very informative AND interesting LIKE

I've thought about moving to Japan when I retire in three years. I'd of course visit before I do. Because of this channel and a few others I've watched Japan is so beautiful and peaceful.

Absolutely amazing architecture. Can't wait to see the finished product.

WOW what a beautiful area, i love the curved beams

WOW really cool. If you do a theatre downstairs you can do a lounge upstairs with maybe a set of bunk beds, some sofas table chairs or a bar or do reverse put the lounge downstairs and the theatre upstairs either way I'm sure the space is going to look amazing... hello Kai I've been wondering what you have been up to.

Loved visiting Tokyo. Awesome trip. But Sensoji was totally forgettable in my view.

Beautiful! wish i could have one too someday! thanks for sharing, looking forward for more

Beautiful!

so useful thank you !

How cool, and what a lot of work!

Any advice for people over 30, with no degree, decent savings and rudimentary Japanese language skills? This only applies to those with degrees, remote jobs and the language skills to assimilate seamlessly from the looks of it

The Japanese economy is collapsing once more. Such a shame. Japanese culture is changing.....

Japan is a fun place to visit but not a good place to live for most westerners. First off, unless you speak fluent Japanese, you'll find that it can be severely limiting in terms of social interaction and career prospects. Additionally, if you are a foreigner, you'll be treated as a foreigner - you'll never be one of them (this is their cultural attitude). And if you are a career-oriented woman, Japan is the last place you want to be: their traditional culture is one that positions women in the household and women in the workplace are often sexually harassed and have minimal prospects of reaching management level. There is a reason why you constantly see Japanese homes being sold for pennies. I would say unless you have a job already secured with a western company (such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc) where the western corporate culture overwhelms the Japanese culture, you won't feel at home in Japan.

Very nice video, thank you for making it. Good variety of places to visit, not just most popular spots, not just food. Realistic advice on taking it easy first day and not trying to pack too much in or feeling bad you didn't get to see everything.

That is my story, unfortunately. Kyoto was supposed to be the highlight of my Japan 2024 trip. Here for a week and 5 out of 7 days is going to rain. And due to this I hid the temples so early and hard and felt like I was rushing, and I was at the end of the day. Was hoping for Kibuki, but they do not have any in April. So sad 😢😢😢

His masterwork concert hall is GORGEOUS. Absolutely stunning. If I had the money, I would hire him in an instant. I've always loved the idea of hunting for a larger, well-built kominka, having it fully restored, but relocated to a spot I really like. Having it dry fit in a workshop to double-check for strength and updated with modern safety features(diagonal beams throughout for resisting earthquakes, more horizontal members to resist sagging and gradual damage from ground-shift, a fire-resistant kiln-plaster exterior, Etc.)

Are the shops open on Wednesdays?

The pudding in Japan is heaven. We got nothing like that in the US. If anything, it's trash.

Do you mind sharing how much it cost to buy your Kominka in Itoshima? I am interested in buying one in the area as a place to retire. Thank you.

Even if the old tatami will be replaced, it's still painful to see them being stepped on by outdoor shoes. I've never heard "o-tera" said without the honorific.

what is the cheapest you can buy a Kominka there in JP?

Seems to be better than US choices. More variety.

Hey Kai, I'm so excited to see you. Elijah announced a while back he was heading back to the US. I was totally worried I wouldn't get to see you. You are such a nice person. That looks like a beautiful island. The house is AMAZING. ❤️ The location is great. WOW 😮 so beautiful. I love renovation videos. So happy to look forward to seeing the build and all things on your channel. Don't stop taking us to new and exciting places. Best of luck 🍀

Where is the rooftop garden at 2:43min?

great quality video

Thanks for the recommendations !

Very cool

Great content, helpful for trip planning

Hoping to see more of your videos! They are indeed quality travel guides.

Hey guys, I haven't found a link for a bike renting. Could you please put the link?

Excellent work with this video!! You made a truly excellent guide with beautiful cinematography. 🙌

Now I wanna see the best curry spots!

Great video

Loved this!

Insane that the conversion rate at the moment is ~150 japanese yen = $1usd which is crazy ! great guide by the way definitely using this to build our itinerary for this january ~

Thanks for the guide. I don't appreciate the attitude tho. I get that it's just "a joke" or just something said out of embarrassement or whatever, but why shout boring when you couldn't lift the log? Pretty offensive imo, like sort yourself out, why blame the thing. It's not that deep, I know. But it's still a legit place of worship, and a cultural treasure, so maybe exercising some amount of respect is the wiser thing to do?

Definitely take a picture with your camera of the Cave's Map.

Are the green spots in the city like Central Park in NYC? Do they have a Shake Shack in the Parks?
