I am in love with the way you present Japan in all its beauty and filling the video with so much education about the heritage too. How you don't put music over every part but allow the viewer to take in the natural sounds. It's really like transporting us all there when we can't be there. Thank you ♡
Same!!
I couldn’t agree more. For a self taught videographer, she really did a phenomenal job. ❤️
pssst!! Change your video quality settings to 1080P HD
I just want to let you know the music election that you used in this video was absolutely stunning, and how you captured the essence of Nara in film it's something incredible and interesting, I'm really proud of you bestie, I love you and thank you.
Random men striking up a conversation by asking super personal questions is always a red flag! Creepy :/
Agreed!!! I don’t mind talking to strangers at all - I truly love it. But never ever ask if I’m ALONE or why I’m there lol 🚩
@@heratlas Exactly! If you want to start a conversation with a stranger, don't ask them if they are alone haha talk about something else!
Omg fo Real!!
You’re so smart for telling those men that you were traveling with your husband, I’m glad you told us viewers about it. You have to keep yourself safe! Beautiful video, I hope I can visit Japan one day!
The deers chasing you had me cracking up lmao. This video was shot beautifully. I love it!!
We needed some comic relief after being approached at the park 🤣
OMG! You are getting more sponsors and I am o excited for you 😬😬😬 Your channel is growing and that is so well-deserved! Love your videos!
Thank you so much!! I took about 2 months off of sponsors, but I have a quite a few lined up the next few months. Thank you for the support!
Oh man, the bike rent/guest house owner was such a nice and interesting person. Could listen to his storys all day.
EVERYTHING'S SO AESTHETICCCC
we're trying!! I hope you enjoyed!
I've been living in NC for 10 years now. Came across your channel last year and have been loving every video! I absolutely LOVED that traditional looking genkan. And that older Japanese man was so adorable and his English was so so good. I am glad you decided to tell us about what happened with the group of men. (obviously not glad that it happened) It's important for people to always be mindful that no matter how pretty and open the area things like that can still happen. I also have a fake life that I tell, like yeah I am def going to tell you exactly where I am staying and that I'm alone!?
Also your video quality was beautiful, you are becoming a pro!
Hi Mandy! The man was SO KIND! He was actually really surprised to see me and shared how it had been a year since he spoke English due to the lack of tourism. I hope he gets more business soon, I would hate to see anything happen to their guesthouse. I plan to stay there the next time I am visiting Nara. To add on to the being approached thing - it was so odd. Always best to error on the side of protecting yourself!!
The deer scenes are so funny 😂
I was genuinely scared! I was simultaneously trying to get rid of the food and run which was a disaster, lol
“Im basically just riding my bike around and stopping when I see something beautiful” That was my life in Japan when I was younger ( much younger- no Google, no smart phones) . Such a privilege, and so wonderful to share your experiences with you now. Arigato!
Your videos help me relive my memories from when I went to Japan 4 years ago. I honestly started tearing up from the sounds of the train station/shinkansen because it made me feel like I was there again. I cannot wait for the day I get to go back
Thank you for taking us with you on your solo trip! I felt like I was traveling with a friend🥰 Plus everything is so beautiful and relaxing !
You are so welcome! This makes me so happy!
Love everything about your vlogs, how you show the life, the culture, the people. You just know how to communicate Japan's magic. 🤗❤️
My cat is loving all the bird sounds 😂
this comment threw me off for a second, but I love it! tap taps for your kitty!
It is sooooo heartwarming how friendly everyone seems to be in Japan! Also, beautiful video as always!
Always a delight to watch. Since it is cherry blossom season, I like to press the flowers and use them on cards and paper lanterns. Sending positivity and hugs. xo
ahhh this is such a wonderful idea! I tried to press two, but I did it wrong (lol) I'll try again next year!
A bit disappointing and infuriating about the weirdos in the park. Before covid, you’d often see school kids doing a bit of english practice and doing small surveys on foreign tourists, but groups of foreign guys asking invasive questions? That’s a worry.
Beautiful video. HAPPY EASTER 🐣 🐰
That garden was so pretty. I almost cried just watching it, I’m sure I’d cry if I was there in person. I love japan.
Sorry to see the deers attacking you like that, but you want to know the fact that you're in Nara in the most unusual period. In the normal time, there are zillions of international and domestic tourists packing the place, so deers are consistently well fed by visitors to make them much more mellow usually. Right now in this almost tourist less pandemic time, no one is feeding them with crackers, so they are super desperate fighting for the limited resources.
I went to Nara in 2019 and this brought back so many memories. I hope we're allowed to travel again soon :(
I miss Japan so much, so I always look forward to watching your new videos (even if they make me miss it more). I hope I can travel back to Japan in the near future. When I visited Nara my mum snuck a bit of the deer biscuit in my pocket and the deer kept chasing me. She thought it was hilarious.
How fitting that you followed your description of the men with pictures of you being chased by a herd of wild deer :-) The gentleman with the guesthouse that showed you around inside--that is something to treasure! He worked really hard to speak English for you/us, and a visit with him could be a whole video.
I got bitten by a monkey on the lease (someone’s pet) in Japan so I feel you running from the deer 😂
What an amazing solo trip! Loved the video 💛 Nara is such a magical place 🥰
It really is! It has such a sense of peace in the area that's hard to explain!
Isn´t it annoying, that we have to have a "fake story" at hand in order to feel a bit more safe? Like, this is for real for so many ppl everywhere in the world. It´s very easy to tell if a person approaching you is just genuinely interested in connecting or not.
That being said, thank you for a very aesthetically beautiful video.
Not really sure I would not be freaking myself out in the Japanese AirBnB - remembering every horrormovie I've seen :D
Why can’t men leave solo female travelers alone? So gross.
Absolutely stunning video
The way I ran when I got the notification. Thank you so much for another beautiful video, Caitlin!!
Thank you so so much for watching!
Wow Caitlin, the intro to this was so good and I loved how it was just the sights and sounds without any music playing. The footage you captured at night was superb, you captured this whole vlog beautifully😍 I couldn’t stop laughing at the booty biting 🤣
I loved this. The train ride with your background music made me a little misty eyed! And I love how kind all the Japanese people were. But I was not surprised to hear you talk about the group of foreign men in the park. It's awful that women cannot enjoy a day by themselves without this fear. It happens everywhere and it has to stop. You have every right to sit in the park alone and enjoy the deer without having to make up fake stories to get them to leave you alone! I love your videos and every one makes me want to move to Japan even more. I'm learning hiragana too! ありがとう
I absolutely love your content and I love your way of explaining 😍 your videos make me wanna go to Japan so bad!
this is such a well done video! ❤️
I really enjoyed this upload about Nara etc. Such a shame that you got harassed by a group of "foreigners" in Japan. All the way from the States to Japan only to find and bothered by some delinquent foreigners. That is just terrible. Glad that you got to see Sakura blossoms there in Nara, too!
Well done 👍
Hey there, Nara is so beautiful and the people are so friendly, thanks for sharing🌸💗🤗
Awesome Video! I miss Japan so so much! Just the sound of the shinkansen announcer brings back so many feelings. Tip: 5 or 50 yen are luckier for donating at temples/shrines because of the homophone for luck.
This is my second time watching this video and it's pure ASMR to me. so relaxing. Loving all your videos.
loved this vid!
beautiful 😍
The lanterns are so pretty, the blossom, archirecture, food...wow Japan is so beautiful!
Awesome video I really really loved it 😍♥️♥️♥️ and the aesthetics is very relaxing and calming ( especially coz I watched after a long stressful day at work 🤣)😍💙 can’t wait to be able to visit all these places when I come to Japan ♥️
Wow! So scary about the men! Did you wait for them to leave and make sure they left before you left?!
Yes I did actually! I called my husband and just sat on a bench catching up with him for the day, giving him my location, etc (!) until they were more than gone and out of sight!
I really love your videos! Random question, but have you found it easy/affordable to find dog sitters for your pup when you go on trips like this one? As a dog mom who might find herself in Iwakuni in the near future, I would also love to see a video about pet related things in Japan 🤓💕 Sending love from Berlin
This was one of my favorite videos I’ve seen on your channel! I visited Nara almost 5 years ago now and you captured it so beautifully. Can’t wait to go back!
I’ve been waiting for this blog since you telling me you got bitten on the arse by a deer, and it’s my absolute favourite! I reckon that deer seggsually assaulted you, you should’ve shouted ‘CHIKAN DESU’ 🍑🦌
I get tears in my eyes every time I see Sakura on your videos 🌸🌸 Missing home so much. Thank you for sharing the beauty of my country.
I went to Nara before covid and the deers seem so different now, they weren't biting or anything... maybe they're hungry because there's way less tourists feeding them :(
I was thinking of travelling to nara, initially I was actually excited about the deer but after seeing this video, Im beginning to have second thoughts,😂 would you recommend Nara?
Loved this so much. Took me back when I visited. One trick w the deer - instead of feeding them when there’s a bunch, I find one or two that are wandering off away from the main area and they’re a lot nicer :)
Thank you for showing us your solo trip to Nara.
Because of fewer tourists, deer must be aggressive for foods.
There is a s big statue of Buddha in Todaiji temple although you didn't introduce.
In the era of Nara, Buddhism influenced people's life.
畳の上ではスリッパは履きません。We don't wear slippers on Tatami.
The deers are savages... 😂😂😂 I don't know why, but that just cracked me up.
This is one of the best episodes I’ve watched on your channel so far. I can see the care you took in filming and editing this episode - it’s really beautifully photographed and put together. I also really enjoyed the content including the tour of the Japanese B&B. 👍🏽👍🏽
Enjoyed the video. I like the amount of time you spent just with "ambient/environmental" shots. Good stuff.
I love your videos, Japan is such an interesting country and I look forward to going one day. Is a typical for locals to invite you to see their guest houses/houses? I've noticed in your videos some lovely people keen to show you! X
You running while the deers chased you was the most entertaining part 😂 also, your videos keep getting better... In a cinematic sense! You've captured the vibe of the place so well ❤
I absolutely love your videos! They are so relaxing and real, I always look forward to sitting back with one of your videos! Japan one day we will meet!
this is 100% one of my favorite videos youve ever made. :,( I love it so much
So sorry for the men’s behaviour ! ... and a bit for the deer although they’ve been trained by the feeding tradition and should have time out zones for the more aggressive ones ... it seemed though later, you were able to sit down with some deer nearby in peace? . When I was there I didn’t have any issues with the deer but running around did not happen and I am a bit bigger than you ... I did laugh a little - sorry. The temple area and walkway to it were they not the best !?! ... thanks for rekindling some memories ... and stay safe. I also now understand why many Japanese when they come to Banff think the Elk are tame and approach them. Do not do this!
Wow. My heart is so full. I really savor your videos because you've really taken the time to film and edit a short exposition on the beautiful, small moments of life in Japan. Thank you endlessly!
I love your tik tok videos and I’m so excited to start watching your RUclips videos. I really want to live in Japan and I want to know how you are able to live in Japan or things I can do to make my dream come true
I love the way she just appreciates everything and takes sometime to herself to enjoy the moment with a deep breath in, just relax, enjoy her surroundings ! 😇 I wanna be at that level of peace in my life 🙏🌸 I love it all!
Thanks for this, another video of yours that I really have enjoyed! And I got to be the 999th person to press the like button!
After watching this video I am now crying because of a severe case of wanderlust
The man at the bike rental house was so nice !! Love your videos always waiting for you to post something new. Stay safe 💕
haha I was in Nara park traveling solo and didn't feed the deer as I saw them chasing people for the treats and that sign - I was like no thanks you x) you are brave!
The editing gets better and better. Also I love the respectful details like blurring the faces.
Another vlogger said it's good to have a spray bottle with water to keep the deer from attacking you.
19:20 she is beauty, she is grace, she is not Snow White 😂 in all seriousness, you are braver than me to feed those deers
Your dog has short hair and the color of white and dark brown is very nice.
I would like to know that what kind of is this.
This is such great content. I love it! Thank you for sharing 😊
Oh my goodness I love it!! It’s a wonderful area.
Here we gooo!! You know I’m a huge fan of solo travel haha. Time to watch 👀👀👀👀
*edit* I love the simplicity of the furniture etc in the 100 year old Japanese home ✨
To feed deer you need chose one that is not in a group. Is quite doable since the park is huge.
Feed in group is a bad idea.
I’m appalled at your video and editing skills. So on point in this video!
How do you pay for all your trips and travels, much curios?
This so beautiful and peaceful! I cannot wait until I get to witness Japan's beauty in person one day 😍
I opened my subscriptions right as this was uploaded. Thanks for brightening up my morning!
A bit of a different style for me, but I hope you enjoy it! Thank you for having your notifications on, that means so much to me
Solo travel is so good for the soul. I went to Thailand by myself and it was so fun! ❤️Japan is on the list.
This was like a movie!!! Total cinematic experience.
ahhh you're too kind! I'm still practicing ... you should watch @CurrentlyHannah ! She is a true cinematic ART!
I had a deer steal my whole banana. They know no boundaries hahaha 😆
“the deer are savages “ 🤣🤣🤣
(And this video is beautiful - I can tell you put a ton of thought and work into it) ❤️
So Beautiful one day we can visit Japan again :)
I'm almost three minutes in and already am in love with this video.
Thanks for this :) now i want to travel alone 🙄😊
Omg the deers, they are cute and scary in the same time 😆
Quickly clicked the notification from my phone! Yaaas!! I was so looking forward to this! 🤩🥰
thank you for having your notifications on!!! I hope you enjoyed
Also i love that there isn't music all over it!
The cherry blossoms are beautiful! However, don't be satisfied with seeing the cherry blossoms. There is something more beautiful. That is Sakura Fubuki! The most beautiful time is when the petals of the cherry blossoms fall like snow. But you can see Sakura Fubuki for a few days. Everyone, please come to Japan to see Sakura Fubuki!
Awesome video! Loved it😍😍😍
Omg the feels and the aesthetic is next level
my friend is in the navy in iwakuni, seeing her life everyday is so cool !
I lovvvvvve this 😍 thank you for sharing that tip about traveling alone!!!
its SOOOO important! Some people may have kind intentions but it's best to error on your own safety
Hi Caitlin,
Your videos are always so esthetically pleasing and so calming to watch.
Amazing content as always, keep them coming 👍🏻.
Cheer and stay safe.
I absolutely adore your videos, so beautifully presented, it's amazing seeing Japan through your eyes 🥰🥰🥰
Speechless. You have outdone yourself. Just beautiful. Incredible talent, beautiful girl..
I loooooved this video! One of the biggest things that feel nostalgic from visiting Japan is the SOUNDS and you really captured them well
