Cried watching this. I grew up in Japan, and I visit every year. I can't wait for the day I can finally call Japan home once and for all. Thanks for making my day!
so impressed with this. I'm only 6 months or so into my first year with JET. only hope I can leave the experience with as many incredible memories. well done.
I almost cried after I watched this video. My dream is going to Yakushima(from Princess Mononoke) and Yonaguni Island for scuba diving. There is a city under ocean. Thank you for sharing a great video.
that beautiful place is the reason why I decided to go to university at 33 lol and being a 'mature student' it can get tough and this is just my first year. thank you for making this. I will favorite it and watch it when I get discouraged to remind me why I'm going to school ^^ arigatou gozaimasu
I sometimes wonder what it would be like studying in a Japanese uni. May I ask how your finding it? Are you actually studying IN Japanese? If so, what level is your Japanese at? What kind of problems do you face? If you do reply I'd be very grateful ^.^
oh I'm not studying in japan lol I took a japanese class at my uni and didn't even make it through the semester. I'm linguistically retarded to start with and I would've done worse on the second midterm than I did on the first (and I did pretty bad....like 36% bad lol). I know Tokyo University has a program that is taught in english but for university there. it would probably be better to be pretty damn fluent in japanese. you can always check the various websites if you can find one in english
Nayakepu Thank you for the reply! Oh I see haha. Well I hope you find success/happiness in whatever you pursue. Just because the uni course didn't work out for you, don't let that stop you from learning Japanese if your heart's in it. There are plenty of good (and free) resources nowadays for self studiers.
Fantastic Video!! Current JET, 2nd year, living in Kagoshima right now with the goal of traveling to all 47 prefectures ( got 25 under my belt so far)^^ . Would love to capture all the beautiful images of Japan by pictures and vids as well. May I ask what camera you have been using throughout your journey?
awesome to hear! you're well on your way. i mainly used the Panasonic HDC-TM90 (www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B004JKNDLK/ref=as_li_tf_il?ie=UTF8&camp=247&creative=1211&creativeASIN=B004JKNDLK&linkCode=as2&tag=4ts6-22) if you're in Japan and my iPhone 5 mostly. A couple of shots were done on a GoPro bust mostly a split between the Panasonic and iPhone.
What an amazing few years you've had, doesn't look like you wasted a moment. I love how you've mixed the classic and refined elements of Japan with such vibrant, happy fun! (I'm in the early stages of planning our honeymoon to Japan so this was a very timely video to see!) Can I ask about the transparent streamers with text on them, shown here? ruclips.net/video/53Fzi2sy8V4/видео.html#t=32 What do they say, and where are they? Thank you for sharing your experiences, I hope you enjoy many more :)
yeah i've had a good few years here. actually all of these videos were taken in 2014 alone! i've been lucky enough to have many more great experiences which i couldn't fit into the video here. look out for more videos in the future though. and you link doesn't work but i think i know the exact part you're talking about. that is in the echigo-yuzawa area in niigata prefecture. they have an art festival there every 3 years but in the off years (which 2014 was) there are some permanent installations like this one. i can't translate them exactly but they are japanese poems. you can find out more about the festival here: www.echigo-tsumari.jp/eng/
yeah i think technically it's dead but the nerve-endings are still in tact so it reacts to soy sauce and what not. i actually couldn't bring myself to eat it but i thought i would include it here because it is indeed one of those "japan things"

The little one on the end is your child? Best of all perhaps :)
actually it's my friends' kid. his name is Lemon and he's the cutest little boy!
He seems like a sweet little kid indeed :)
Can't wait for the new video's, you got some skills making these video's.
