The fact that the staff went out of their way to make you another hot chocolate even though you said it was completely fine put a smile on my face. That would have made my day just thought that was really sweet of them 😊
Nah, Kansas fortitude should not be underestimated. They get heat indexes of 110f (43C) in the summer and negative wind chills (-20C) in the winter. Throw in all the fun being where weather systems from the Gulf, Canada, and the US Rockies meet can cause some really wacky weather (and/or Tornadoes).
Winter's been strung out here to THREE WEEKS nowadays. Utterly inhumane. Not what I signed up for when I moved to Victoria!! #climatechangeconfirmed 🇨🇦
These videos always make me so happy! That interaction with the cafe worker was so cute and wholesome, as a server it’s so nice to see polite interactions 😊
It's always so crowded tho! Sharla has a video of Kinosaki (another onsen town) which I think is much better and I visited last Oct (esp if you're closed to Osaka/Kyoto)
Your “get on the fucking bus!” made me laugh 😂 The snow has really been lacking where I live these last few winters, so watching this made me happy. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us.
What a great video, Sharla! Love your vibes and... idk your Vlogging style is so unique and cool and you have so many things to show, I really appreciate it! 😊 I have a question regarding JAJ: Sometimes the guests are in the van you are traveling in and sometimes they are with Chris in the car. I wonder what the reason is (probably coordination and/ or organisation reasons, but Id love to know more !)
If the main guest isn’t in the keicar it’s prob just cuz we all travelled in the van for weather reasons! This trip into the village wasn’t ideal keicar weather😂
This is a nice relaxing video to watch. The stamp this time has a nice vibe with the lampposts. That place looks so pretty but super cold! I doubt I'd last long there lol. The food looks tasty! The hot choco looks so good with the toasted marshmallows on top. It's always fun to see some small behind the scene clips if JaJ in your videos as well.
Lovely video! It looks like a dream land! And yes, I laughed about the disclaimer - Toronto gal here, and I know what snow is! You should take Chris to Canada and visit Ottawa or Toronto sometime during winter! ;)
Mmmmm affogato is one of my favorite things to get 😋 ☕️ my husband LOVES winter and was watching my phone behind my back just drooling at the scenery lol I’m more of a spring girl myself, but I’d put up with the cold to visit this gorgeous town ❤
@sharla if you get stuck again and need to film on your phone etc get a program called Topaz Ai it will let you upscale and denoise your video to 4k etc and then edit in premier or final cut after effects etc as per normal .. it does a super good job has to be said ... Thanks for efforts as always.
@@sharlainjapan yeah do so... For allot of the graphics I make now for clients I make the footage at 30fps 1080p and upscale it to 4k 60fps... It uses Ai to help scale and denoise etc the footage super well ... a good pro tip.
my internet in yamanashi is so bad... convinced everyone just downloads 1TB files of nothing every night to spite me... they're preventing me from watching y'alls D:
Pete: In Kansas this is a brisk summer day Maybe he grew up in Alaska and has been laboring under the delusion all these years that he grew up in Kansas
How sweet was the waitress getting you one hot chocolate for free because they forgot the alcohol. I just love Japan and hopefully one day I have enough money to visit.
Your b-roll is always so well shot. Your videos always give me the comfiest vibes, making me want to take my Japan trip sooner rather than later. Cheers!
I should have expected that Sharla was in Chris’s background crew even though she was no longer that main guest. I dunno why but I assumed she had to head back to Tokyo for stuff… should’ve know that she wouldn’t miss such a beautiful spot to visit. And to head off potential comments, I know Sharla is an independent woman who has the right to go to, visit, and film/share anything she wants on her own channel independent of Chris. i just happened to watch this in an order that put Chris's video first and thus my mind assigned primacy.
@@sharlainjapan don’t blame you, between yours and Chris’s videos it looks wonderful on a normal day and magical when powdered with snow. It will be on the list for a trip to Japan. Thank you for sharing.
For most of the video I was wondering why Sharla wasn't walking with Chris and the others, or asked to sit with them when they got the 6 person table. Then I remembered Chris' video, and the challenge, and the chain-link Pete, and it all made sense.
Every minute was beautiful 😍 Sharla, I'd be doing the exact same things as you, eating and drinking the same menu items, and shopping the same Earl Grey cat tins. 😂
Thanks for Yamagata tour! By the way, snowy weather is so similar with Finland's winter weather 🙂And it always requires warm clothes which have rain and wind protection. I remember Natsuki and Chris having foot path in one of those previous videos.
This is such a beautiful location with the fluffy snow and fairy lights. With the chill soundtrack, I feel so cozy. This was like a virtual cup of hot cocoa ☺️.
"we only accept cash payments" omg that's so much nicer than places that only take card (there's a Krispy Kreme in my city that is card/contactless only - so extra for something that's only €3). at least contactless payments with my bank are free. still, would rather pay cash for small payments like cafes.
Hi Sharla. Jason here and I just wanted to say I love your videos and the atmosphere is cozy. The music you add is wonderful. Thank you for all your videos and please continue to put a smile on our faces. Watch them with my mum as well sometimes.
I live in Florida and have never experienced snow. This place is definitely going on my bucket list! So beautiful! Also, your hair looks gorgeous in the snow!! ❤
@@sharlainjapan Unfortunately they have no availabilities on my dates...😭😭😭 I tried to tweek my plans a little bit but nothing in February for a solo traveller. Weirdly, they had rooms for couples but it would have been to expensive... Next time !
The fact that the staff went out of their way to make you another hot chocolate even though you said it was completely fine put a smile on my face. That would have made my day just thought that was really sweet of them 😊
If possible please don't cut the moments when you speak Japanese, i love hearing you and it's inspiring me to continue to learn🙈 love this vlog💙
"Is that them there?"
*cuts to a shot with Pete and Chris chained together* XD
Just a typical outing with Chris and friends😂😅
"In Kansas this is a brisk summer day"
You can't let Pete show up your Canadian fortitude Sharla! Lol
I’m from Victoria I’ve got nothing😂
@@sharlainjapanand I just hit that part of the video where you mentioned it! My bad haha
😂😂😂😂😂

Kansas just be that crazy city slicker like you don't understand 🎉
That hot chocolate and affogato looked amazing!! Thanks for the comfy vlog, perfect way to start my Friday! Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Thank you! You too! 🩵🩵
🤣Sharla, your "GET ON THE F-IN BUS" made me giggle. This place looks so cozy (even with the blizzard)! 💖
Sharla: i can't imagine wanting to use that foot bath right now
Chris: 😈
The second I saw the guy in the blue coat at the beginning I knew this was shot when Chris's video was lol.
Shot on a “brisk summer day” 😅
Your hair looks so amazing in this video! ❤️
Haha thank you! It was actually frozen solid by the end of the day😂
It looks so good!
"I'm from Victoria!"
Winter's been strung out here to THREE WEEKS nowadays. Utterly inhumane. Not what I signed up for when I moved to Victoria!! #climatechangeconfirmed 🇨🇦
glad that Sharla was having a cozier time at Ginzan than Chris & Pete 🤣
It's kinda funny that I can hear Chris' voice while Sharla was in the café. 😂
This place is gorgeous, and that stamp was top tier.
I flipping love that lamp stamp
lol the juxtaposition between your video and Chris’ made my day 😂
Yay!! I have been waiting for another cozy vlog. The snow looks incredible, what a fun trip! 💕 Thanks for taking us along!
These videos always make me so happy! That interaction with the cafe worker was so cute and wholesome, as a server it’s so nice to see polite interactions 😊
the staff at the cafe is so nice & funny 😂
They’re really fun😂😂 Love that cafe! ❤
This is one place that I would l❤ve to visit. It's so stunning 😍. Thank you for another excellent video 🫶
Hope you get a chance to visit! 🤩🩷
That looks about normal weather where I’m from in Canada 😂. That hot chocolate looked so good!! 🥰
雪景色とマッチしててほんと雰囲気良さそうな温泉街、いつか行ってみたい
Just what I need this morning; great content! ❤️
Hope you have a great day! 🌷
Nice getting Sharla’s somewhat different perspective on the same place (after the crazy tumultuous video of Chris and Pete🤪) coooozy☺️☺️🥰
What is the video called with Chris and Pete? :)
日本語で失礼します。シャーラさんの仕草や表情が昔（来日当初の日本のパンレビュー当時）に戻ったのが非常にうれしいです、特に笑顔が自然になり本当に素敵です、微力ですがずっと応援してます無理せずに楽しんでくださいね。
ありがとうございます🩷🩷
It could've been you and Chris chained up together, but he chose Pete.
Ginzan is so on my Japan bucket list! No butter or clotted cream for the scones???? I'm shocked! LOL
It's always so crowded tho! Sharla has a video of Kinosaki (another onsen town) which I think is much better and I visited last Oct (esp if you're closed to Osaka/Kyoto)
I will make it a point to watch Sharla's latest vlog today now that I'm finally free, btw today February 8 is my birthday I turn 47. 🎉🥳🎊😊
Absolutely beautiful! This will be on my itinerary for my next trip for sure! That pink tin was absolutely adorable!!
Much love from Arizona 💜💜
So cute isn’t it! I’ll have to find something to put in it when the tea is all finished🩷
Happy 2024 so needed a good vid right now.... So beautiful...
Pete is a true national treasure.
Protect this man at all costs.
Your “get on the fucking bus!” made me laugh 😂
The snow has really been lacking where I live these last few winters, so watching this made me happy. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us.
What a great video, Sharla! Love your vibes and... idk your Vlogging style is so unique and cool and you have so many things to show, I really appreciate it! 😊

It is fairytale beautiful, especially covered in snow. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Sharla: "Wish I took a photo!!" _gets another one and probably still didn't take a photo_
Correct! 😂
You always have the ability to make every place you go look so appealing and a must-see.
Great video such a beautiful place. It’s funny every time Dave speaks to you I think it’s Chris. Their voices are similar. 😂
Canadian cold.... They don't have warm areas lol. Us Brits like to moan about the weather. I think you've been around Mr Affable too long lol
Thank you very much for your posting!
I'm live in Japan but I've never been to Ginzan Onsen!
Sharla: "I hope there will be some snow"
Mother nature: "Hold my herbal tea"
😂
I thought you were Canadian!
TOLD YOU😂
@@sharlainjapan hehe
The thumbnail is so cute!! Makes me want to buy earmuffs 😆💕
Snow is pretty to look at 😅
Nice that the shops tell you when it's full before you get inside 😊

How's your health love ? Everything stable now ?
Still working on it🫠 Thanks for asking🫶🏻🩷
Everything looks so aesthetically pleasing 😍
Perfect timing for my coffee break at work ❤
Why have a never toasted the marshmallows in my hot chocolate! Sounds amazing ☕️
The parts where we can see the snow falling in the background while youre in the cafe is so so cozyy!!
Lovely video! It looks like a dream land! And yes, I laughed about the disclaimer - Toronto gal here, and I know what snow is! You should take Chris to Canada and visit Ottawa or Toronto sometime during winter! ;)
Ahhhh so cozy! That hot chocolate looked amazing!!!
My god these sceneries are so freaking pretty!!!
feel super cozy! The town indeed looks amazing at night in snow.
Mmmmm affogato is one of my favorite things to get 😋 ☕️ my husband LOVES winter and was watching my phone behind my back just drooling at the scenery lol I’m more of a spring girl myself, but I’d put up with the cold to visit this gorgeous town ❤
I so enjoy watching your vlogs! How do you decide which trips to join Chris on?
Just depends how busy my own schedule is😄
“Get on the f* bus” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭🤣

Pete Premier 2 is in this video! What is this, Abroad in Japan's second channel. LOL
my internet in yamanashi is so bad... convinced everyone just downloads 1TB files of nothing every night to spite me... they're preventing me from watching y'alls D:
I feel you!! The internet on this entire trip was crap😅😅
Wow so Victoria, Canada is basically Seattle
Makes sense why it wouldn't really snow much
Sharla: “I can’t see anything in this blizzard” 😅
It was just snowing?
Pete: In Kansas this is a brisk summer day
Maybe he grew up in Alaska and has been laboring under the delusion all these years that he grew up in Kansas
こんにちわ、初めてコメントさせていただきます。めっちゃ行きたかった所なのでこの動画見て楽しかったです☺️大人のココワお酒が入ってて飲んでみたいです。寒そうだったけど最高の景色でした👍👍👍😚
How sweet was the waitress getting you one hot chocolate for free because they forgot the alcohol. I just love Japan and hopefully one day I have enough money to visit.
What a beautiful place even do it was snowing I felt cold in here and I live in the Caribbean 😊 Thanks for the video
Snow is so pretty when you are watching it elsewhere. In Nashville we had it for a whole week. Huge snow followed by deep freeze.
Hey Sharla! I'm heading to Ginzan on your recommendation in a day or two, but am in Matsushima right now. What's the best thing to do here?
Cross the red bridge and explore the island! 🥳🥳
Oh and go to the Italian restaurant I went to in Vlogmas day 1!! Love that place!! 🎉
I definitely will. And I didn't realise you stayed in Koumura as well! I'm here until the 5th and it's absolutely gorgeous!
Your b-roll is always so well shot. Your videos always give me the comfiest vibes, making me want to take my Japan trip sooner rather than later. Cheers!
Vancouver Island: its a rain forest, not a snow forest! 🥶🌧️🌴
So happy for a new vlog
Fantastic idea of busing people into popular tourist area. Wish they did that for national parks in states. Especially in heavily traveled area.
They do that at Zion National Park in Utah! It was nice not having all the cars around.
I always have time for a ginzan video
Who is the guy that looks like he could be Chris' brother?
So beautiful ❤!!! I wish I could travel to Japan. 😢

A bit cold for cold drinks? Am i the weirdo? I eat more ice cream in winter because it won't melt :p
i love it too soo much
Haha that’s true, eating ice cream in the summer heat sucks😂
'"Get on the F.... bus!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pete's first Journey across Japan was the frozen north one ...

As a fellow Canadian; I'm right there with you with the dislike of the wind when it's cold. :P
This area looks so pretty, especially with the snow! Looks like it'd be a great place to visit!
Is my mouth still hanging open? What a beautiful place, a picture postcard.
Sharla I love your videos so much! They soothe my soul.
you are so beautiful and your hair looks awesome! 😍
they're supposed to be tied together LMAO
They are😂
I love every time pete talks about KANSAS KANSAS PRIDE WOOOOOOOOOOO🎉

Hi Sharla, jfyi 胡桃 is the kanji for くるみ、which as you know I'm sure, is walnut.
Ooo! I’ve never seen it before! Thanks 🤩
I live in Florida and have never experienced snow. This place is definitely going on my bucket list! So beautiful! Also, your hair looks gorgeous in the snow!! ❤
Lovely area & vlog. I somehow missed this one when it was published.
“Get on the beeping bus” is just so relatable when waiting in cold 🥶 weather.
Always so comforting and fun to watch your videos 😊
Can't wait to go there on the 23rd !
Enjoy
Enjoy!! Hope you’ve got great weather for it :D
@@sharlainjapan Unfortunately they have no availabilities on my dates...😭😭😭 I tried to tweek my plans a little bit but nothing in February for a solo traveller. Weirdly, they had rooms for couples but it would have been to expensive... Next time !
Great Vlog Sharla! Thanks for showing us this pretty, snowy Hot Spring Resort Village...
I feel so warm and cozy LOL.
Watching this after the abroad video 😂 such a beautiful place tho despite the snow. I bet it looks pretty in spring too!
nice video :) ur looking great
oh no, who could guess, Pete and Chris were cheating, stamping without chains... XD
They were genuinely chained up all day😂
