Awesome videos, I miss this one. About the old woman that took a shine to your brother in law, that might have been a Kami-sama. When I started following Shinto. I dreamt of an old japanese woman dressed in a white kimono. I was following her on a sandy plateau full of sunlight. She led me past the rusting wrecks of old world war 2 warships both japanese and American. She pointed to the ships and said you see these? I answered her saying yes. She said: this is the past. It is not now. I feel she was one of the Kami-sama encouraging me to follow my path. Arigato gozainasu 🙏
@@Exjapter it was a very personal and spiritual experience. I was touched. I told a Shinto priest and Miko in correspondence. They were amazed. Thank you for your response 🙏
I am now in Japan, and 2 days ago i was heading to a shinto shrine in Onomichi. I walked a huge stairs and behind me was a woman going the same way. She was a view steps behind of me and i heard her walking up like i did. When i came up i expected she should be up there by this time, but when looking i found out she disappeared🤯
Nice video as always. Some nice stories, I always like to hear about anecdotes. I think I liked the last story the most, that was certainly an interesting coincidence..? (Or something more..! Lol) As for this type of video, I certainly would like to hear more personal stories about your time in Japan, if you haven't already.
I enjoyed this video, though I hope it's just an occasional detour, and this doesn't turn into a channel about witchcraft or UFOs!🤣 I prefer your insightful observations of everyday life in this fascinating country. (Although I found the story involving your brother-in-law not only intriguing but also moving.) However, I understand that coming up with fresh topics week after week must be challenging. On a completely different note, I've noticed something: When watching some of the "walking videos," often live, in Tokyo, I notice that no passerby stares at the camera or the RUclipsr. It's a full-on "mind your own business" attitude! However, in your videos, I often see people looking back at you, like the lady at around 17:03. I wonder if this is because your walking area isn't as much of a "big city" as Tokyo?
Don't worry! It might disappoint some people, but I only have a Part 2 planned for these stories and that'll be it. That's an interesting observation about the walking. I don't really watch other walkabout channels so I have no frame of reference.
Given the high likelihood of everyone on earth having at least one doppelganger, perhaps the little Japanese woman was his Japanese doppelgangers mother?
Does 'Bob' ever mention this event in casual conversation? I'd be intrigued to hear his feelings about it after being removed from it for a bit of time.
Your stories were very interesting and thought provoking. I'm eager to see a part 2!
Very interesting stories!😊
Thank you very much!
Looking forward to part 2
Thank you! You aren't alone in that it seems, so I will be sure to do it soon.
thank you for the upload this was great to listen to on a rainy day.
Happy you enjoyed it!

That's a fair theory - there was certainly something mysterious there, but it seemed to be born of love and spirit.

Looking forward to part 2! But it is clear that the black thing in the sky is a cloud...
very eloquent and captivating storytelling. might as well be used as an English language studying material. i learned a new word - "surly"
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching.

Thank you. I havent seen a real yokai, although I would like to, I think.

The thirty story remind me of a famous Man(Alber Einstein?) who say:Past,present and future lying in the same timeline but some people can feel it❤
Good stories :-) - I skipped the third one - thanks for the warning.
It occurred to me only right before I finished editing that I should say something. Glad I did!
That’s why we say, “Duck” when going under something or when something is threatening our heads!
Trend setting at duck danchi!
Dunno but prefer to go with the spooky explanations.
They are certainly more fun!
Epic Bob story!

Every so often I see someone and I think - they look like the Japanese version of _____________
Does 'Bob' ever mention this event in casual conversation? I'd be intrigued to hear his feelings about it after being removed from it for a bit of time.
That's a good question - I should bring it up with him again. It's been a number of years....
Resilient City is a evolved "danchee" in Kanazawa ward. PEACE❤
Danchi manshon? (o-o)/
Duck story sounds like a low key hate crime
Yeah...but where did they get the duck? That's the part that always throws me.
No part 2 about bob?
I dont think he had any more such encounters.
