Akita: Japan's Onsen Paradise
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- So, this was the most beautiful place we've been to in Japan, we think. Nyuto Onsen, especially Tsurunoyu Onsen, was an experience like we've never had before, and it's something we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Go visit Akita if you have the chance. It'll blow you away.

#Japan #Akita #Onsen
I have watched a lot of onsen trip videos. This...this is next level stuff. The intimacy and detail shared is amazing and really enamors a person to want to go to the area and experience the onsen serenity. Seriously, JNTO really needs to get in touch with you stat.
Absolutely agree with you here! It was a great to watch!
They also brought back their old intro!! Ahhh! Only the OGs know! Lol
@@TeriyakiDior I know right?! I heard the music come on and I was like yes! It's a wank!
@@katlandreth6430 its a WANP! or WANA! 😂
Wait what’s JNTO
I want to grow old with you guys. I would watch your videos forever.
Same, I can't imagine my life without them.
I couldn't agree more this exact sentiment!!
Colors of the wind - Disney Pocahontas Soundtrack. Your welcome my loves
hot garbage one of the greatest Disney songs ever
*You're
NovaLaMason seriously gonna be that person ?
When Martina started singing I swear she instantly became my spirit animal LOL. Love you Simon & Martina!! 😂✌💗
@@MrsTeenagewiccan people should spell correctly;)
You two are relationship goals. Simon knew when to push Martina to try new things even when it was scary, but obviously didn't push too hard. You have fun wherever you go, and you can see how much you truly love each other in every single video. I love when you two are silly with each other, but also when you get serious. I see bits and pieces of that in my relationship, and I hope when we're finally together (long distance sucks) that it can blossom into something as wonderful as you have. I'm experiencing chronic pain in my back, and my boyfriend is as supportive as Simon. We love to be silly with each other too. Watching your adventure, Simon and Martina, makes me excited for the adventures to come with my partner.
That back shot of Simon with his tattoos looks so cool..
Trueee
Yes, I thought so too!
I'm, as a Japanese, so happy to see you guys having a tremendously good moment in Japanese Onsen!!! I also would like to go to Akita with my wife and child.
I love that y’all are just weirdos together doing romantical things being insane but also informative...
😍
It’s the best isn’t it?!? I love them ❤️
I didn't subscribe for artsey bench shots, but boy does that make my heart happy. Makes me happier going for a horticulture major when people enjoy nature.
LaTryce Jackson *HEY IM A HORTICULTURE MAJOR TOOOO* 😂🌹
@@Joojoobeans You literally just made my day better!
I love the story with the women Martina. Having courage to talk with one another and trying something terrifying is wonderful 😊
This is such a ridiculously good video!!!
Thank you!
The spontaneity and limitless potential you both allow yourselves is the level of self love and marital dedication I strive to have in my near future. I’ve followed you lovely nasties since I was a little freshman squirt in high school, and in about 9 months, I’ll be graduating college. The love and knowledge you spread in this community knows no bounds. I love you guys, and hope you can continue to see this community you’ve fostered as the support system that we view you two as.
Sending love from Chicago, Illinois,
Stay nasty ❤️
Thank you for such a beautiful comment and for being with us for so long! 😭 You’ve seen us grow and change, as you grew and changed too. Wow so crazy and congratulations on almost graduating from college!
Hey that’s my (future) WIFE!!! 😊💕
akee 😮
The video with the Halloween Starbucks drinks was bad camera and sound and you two complaining about being old. It was delightful regardless of the issues. Now you give us this beautifully shot, informative, playful, etc. video and it was also delightful. The common denominator is you two - you make the videos fun and enjoyable with your humor and knowledge while rolling with the punches.
Honestly, I thought I would have to behave very seriously at an onsen but you two made this fun, like bar hopping but with semi-nudity, relaxing, and drinking milk.
Autumn is my favorite season and this just looked like heaven to me.
I am starting to love Simon's OH HELLO whenever he sees a dog and the dog sees him too. That needs to be a ringtone or something.
And I will now have Hips Don't Lie stuck in my head for a while with 'Shakira Shakira' replaced with 'Akita Akita'. THANKS, MARTINA.
Well gosh. This comment just made my day 😊
@@eatyourkimchi And your response made my day! We are even then.
I highy agree!! And when Martina put her face on Simon hand but it was meant for a High Five lol I felt that.. That's how I feel every morning hahaha
@@TeriyakiDior I agree! That needs to be a gif on FB or something. I would absolutely use that all the time.
I feel like I really connect with Martina in this video. Being hesitant and afraid to go at first but had a fantastic time when she went. It's amazing how she pushes through obstacles to make wonderful memories with her ducky. She is truly an incredible person who influences many people in her community. Keep up the great work!
I subscribe to this channel because I love what you two do, if that includes a moss covered bench, I am IN. You guys make me feel better Thank you very very much
Colours of the Wind from Pocahontas... I know it by heart.
I love rural Japan, it's so incredibly beautiful. Of course in the cities you have all the life, the places to go, etc., but the countryside is so remote and there are few people... it seems like another country!
This is definitely one of my favorite videos you all have ever made. Very nostalgic, funny, artsy, and overall just beautiful. I also just want to say you two are a huge inspiration for me when it comes to a relationship. Your love for each other translates so well through this video and it's absolutely adorable! ❣️
Sierra Ruiz this is such a mood and I couldn’t have said it better
Same here! One of my favorites!
Dear Simon and Martina.
Thank you for many great videos and memories.
From a back in Korea subscriber.
Thank you for sticking with us for so long!
This comment is going to have nothing really to do with this video but honestly I just need to thank you guys for the amazing work you do through your videos. I happend to come across one of your videos almost 2 years ago during one of the darkest times so far in my life, I was suffering from a eating disorder and used your food videos as an almost virtual source of food to distract me from my physical pain. I eventually got hooked on all of your videos and your messages of love and hope slowly crept its self into my subconscious. Your constant message to build a ladder and find the little things that make you happy in life drove me to slowly seek help. I'm no longer suffering from my eating disorder, i'm battling it, and dare I say winning. To wrap up my little ramble is you guys do so much good for your viewers without even realizing and it would be a crime not to thank you, so thank you so very much. please stay wonderful.
Good for you! Congratulations on surviving (and conquering) life, one hurdle at a time
Watching you two together makes my heart so fuzzy. Its hard to believe in love and happiness sometimes but then I watch your videos and see you two living your best lives together it gives me so much hope for the future. I love you guys! Being able to grow old and experience life with you has been such a pleasure, and I can't wait for the times to come! Thank you, thank you, thank you. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!
I've been binging your videos today... one of my friends unexpectedly passed away yesterday. I feel a little better coping with it all when watching all of the adventures. Thank you for making these!
yay im so glad for the old intro i love them :P
I geeked on the intro...I'm an old nasty. I like the classics.
That opening put a big smile on my face
Our day is over as we're about to go to sleep (it's midnight here) but we had a good, productive day and we're happy with it :D
Rewatching this now, as my partner and I are literally sitting on the shinkansen from Akita to Tazawako station, about to indulge in the same adventure! It's our 10 year anniversary of being together, and we decided to come to Japan for the first time for it (3.5 weeks, from Melbourne, we've wanted to come since we were little kids watching anime in the 90's 😍) and to celebrate the actual anniversary, do the Akita nyutou onsen hopping with a stay in the Taenoyu ryokan! So excited and thanks again guys for an awesome video and introducing this magical onsen paradise to us 😊
how was your trip and where didyou stay?
Stayed at Ganiba last year for its mixed onsen so me and my partner could enjoy our first onsen together. I definitely recommend revisiting this place in Winter! Stepping off the bus was like stepping into a snowy fairy tale, it was so beautiful. At night the lanterns light up the snow and make for some beautiful pictures.
We also made the same mistake, had to try stretch out one pack of instant noodles and a pack of cream puff things from 7/11 for lunch for two days. My partner ended up surviving off of those coffee drinks you guys had hahaha.
Glad to see you both had a wonderful time. :)
I'm so excited for this! My 30th is February 2nd and this is how I want to spend it. I hope it's snowy and pretty 😍
Could I ask, what is the mixed onsen like?? My husband and I have tattoos (I see Simon and of course Martina do as well), do people look at you funny? To be honest I'd love to go here and have my first onsen experience with my hubby, but I'm also a little self conscious when it comes to my body (communal bathing just isnt a thing here in the states so I'm a little afraid of others looking T__T)
@@wifeywubs you should try it, people generally don't look at other people in the onsen, and the onsen shown in the video has quite opaque water so people cant see your tattoos too, having tattoos wont attract much attention but being really really fat will attract attention
What is it about Japanese women that makes them so amazing?
When I was in Tokyo earlier this year, I went into a public toilet that only had 1 western style toilet and multiple squat toilets. Someone was using the only western one, and there was one other woman waiting in line (NO ONE was using the squat toilets!). She waited a little and then politely told/showed me (in English) that there were squat toilets as well, I shook my head and said "nooo!" and she laughed and said "me too". After the person using it left, the woman then quickly looked inside and then offered me some of her tissues as it didn't have any toilet paper! Fortunately I'd already prepared for that as it seems to be quite common in the train station toilets, but I was completely blown away by the kindness of a stranger AND her sense of humour.
I hope I never forget that, as weird as it was lol
This was such a great video! From the interactions between you both to the shots of the beautiful surroundings, well done!
I'm also so proud of you Martina for pushing yourself to go on this trip. And 100 points to Simon for convincing her to do something you knew she would love.
You guys are such an amazing team and it's nice to see such a loving and healthy relationship.
Thank you for sharing your lives with us for these many years. Your videos fill up our happy meters and I hope all the love you put out into the world finds its way back to you. 💖💜💙
For a second there I thought ya'll were visiting Korea.
"no... CANADIAN!" I can relate to this so much. I used to say it constantly when I was in Japan
Wow great to see you guys do a video on Akita. I've been living in Akita for over 3 months, and the serene nature is absolutely stunning. Yeah the big cities like Tokyo are great, but the other prefectures like Akita are totally worth visiting as well.
I totally agree. There's so much to visit in Japan outside of just Tokyo and Kyoto. Even the lesser known parts, like Akita, are stunning.
John Kim we’ll have to visit Akita on our next trip to Japan too and film it for our channel! 📹
Even for Japanese, Akita is a miraculous place to visit... we could not cut off Onsen from our life, if you really want to enjoy and have a calm life. Hope you have a great life in Akita!!!
Looks awesome! Also a little haunted...was it haunted? 🤗 or maybe I’ve just been watching one too many animes
Strictly Dumpling please do an onsen vid while you're in Japan 😂😂😂
Ziah Parilla or another collab with simon and martina
TheWoolyWolf Oh! That would be great hahaha almost forgot about their last collab 😅
Lol
Mikey!!!! We love you!!!!!!!
I full on loled at your late night hunger plight because THAT’S HOW I FEEL EVERY TIME YOU GUYS UPLOAD A FOOD VIDEO AT FREAKING MIDNIGHT HOW’S DAT KARMA FEEL??
Oh it's terrible. TERRIBLE!
TORTURE!!!👅
NOTIFICATION SQUAD! When's the last time you had a bath? Like, a bath bath. Not a shower. Just a soak in the tub. It's not something we do often, though we shower everyday.
Simon and Martina it’s been over a year. I prefer showers
Simon and Martina in Japan over the summer and it felt sooo good
Simon and Martina last night
It’s been years! I honestly can’t remember.
Simon and Martina Like a week ago?
二人仲いいね。見てて気持ちいい。
Akita is my home prefecture. I'm watching this video from US where I live. You guys would have been the coolest couple to hang out with if that were to happen. Haven't been back over 10 years. I miss Onsen. Thanks for sharing.
OMG this intro is life 😍😍😍
I had to check for a second im not watching an old WANK or FAPFAP (again... cus thats what i always do).
Thank you so so much for bringing this back for this video 😍
("AKITA AKITA", Shakira should pay you guys)
same xD
This is such a mood honestly I do the same thing
I've been waiting for this video for weeks !!!
Not even disappointed at all .. It's totally worth the wait !
From Pocahontas to Shakira ,, Martina rocks the world ..
I’m sorry it took so long. We had so much footage!
Yesss it is!!! Lol So nostalgic. Like the intro!
The quality of every video has been escalating and improving, just when i thought the last video had great camera work or music, the next video surprises me again! Kudos for you guys with a small team able to bring about quality rivaling that of million dollar production companies. Keep up the good work guys!
After almost a year, I keep coming back to this video. My guys, this might my favorite of all the videos you've ever made. The colors, the autumn, the water, it's so peaceful and instantly soothes my mind if I'm stressed.
"Can you paint with all the colours of the wind?" It's from Pocahontas!
I love that you guys were like "oh we're Canadian! This is summer for us!"
Speaking as a fellow Canadian, AAAAAMEN.
So glad you took this adventure even with your pains and everything. It felt like I was watching you two walk through a Studio Ghibli film! I'm sure this will be a memory you carry with you for the rest of your lives! Simon, this was an AMAZING trip/gift idea!
Lastly, I love how you two always share your embarrassing stories along with your great ones. Martina, that experience with the old woman being scared and wanting to jump in the water with you, as well as your struggle to get back out with the door is 10000% exactly why we love hearing about your adventures. You're so sweet and kind and wholesome... while also goofy and adorable lol. Can't wait to see you tackle your next adventure with Simon.
I second the Pocahontas bit, great song. My favorite Disney princess! XD Love the video guys
Yes! I was thinking the same thing - It was like they entered a live-action versus of Spirited Away
Martina looked so beautiful and radiant here. She is cute all the time but I feel like maybe the onsens brightened her complexion. Or maybe she was just having a great time and that made her glowing and happy. Whatever it was she looked great. (same with Simon hahah)
Yes Fifth Element! "Leeloo Dallas multipass!"
OMG!!!! I was trying so hard to remember it!!! You got your 100 points!!!!
Watching you two experience life together is just satisfying.
I'm pretty sure this week marks my first year in the Nasty community and i just want to thank you both for the smiles and the many days you have helped me build a ladder. What you do is so special and wonderful and the first video i watched was a W.A.N.K. so im having major feels rn. 💜
Finally got to watch this after one hell of a long day..
Worth it
Absolutely gorgeous..you two never let me down
You guys are my role models. Your positivity helps me through so much. Thank you💗
I might just be on my period, but I teared up several times during this video, it's just so beautiful! It's my dream to experience something like this
Same girl! 😭 I just appreciate Simon and Martina so much. Their videos are def amazing and just shows how much they love each other ❤️❤️❤️
Same! I’m pregnant so that is my excuse. 😭
Samesies
This video is like ASMR even though it's not whispery, its just soft and kind and warm and subtle and relaxing
So many feels with the introduction!! It took me back to when I first subscribed. I love that you guys took a chance and tried something new. I am happy that it turned out so well. Thank you soooo much for all the amazing videos you have put out. I can’t wait for the next one 😊
Can never decide who is more my spirit animal Simon or Martina💜 either way you guys are my ultimate role models!
Fun Japanese tip: Even though people translate "hajimemashite" as "it's nice to meet you," you only actually say it at the beginning of your first conversation with someone. In English, we often end our first conversation with someone by saying, "It was nice to meet you," but it sounds odd to say "hajimemashite" at the end of a conversation in Japanese. Instead, you can say something like "o-ai dekite ureshii desu," which means "I'm glad I got to meet you." ^ ^
The Fifth Element and Pocahontas | Colors of the Wind
I can't believe they let you guys film inside these onsen and ryokan. You two bring so much beauty to youtube, and the places you go aren't half bad, either!
They didn’t let us film INSIDE the onsen since people are getting naked. I waited until absolutely no one was around, and did a quick scan with the GoPro, but they had no problem with people filming around the outside of the onsen. :)
Omg that original music in that beginning *BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES AND MADE ME HAPPY* ☺️😊☺️❤️
Every time I watch your guys videos. I always remember how beautiful Japan is. I cannot wait to go.
omg such nostalgic music I craiiiiii T___T
Do you know what song was 10:30, I recognize it but I can't find it, and it's driving me bonkers.
this was so beautiful, by the end of it I had tears in my eyes. In Portuguese there is a word for what I felt: "Saudade", a deep feeling of nostalgia mixed with melancholy, This video took me back to my trip to Japan and all the onsens I visited alone by myself. the feeling is sad but also full of happiness and gratefulness that I was able to experience that. In that sense your videos are the only ones that touch me like that time after time, so thank you for that!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful word and story!
Martina is so beautiful.
10:48 "The Fifth Element" one of my favorite movies of all time💖
"Big, big bada boom"
I don't know how you line up your videos to release literally as soon as I get to my lowest place because of my chronic pain, but I thank you so much for the unintentional mind reading, I needed these 22 minutes to take my mind off of things and you do the greatest job doing so by showing us the beautiful, silly & amazing things in your life and making me smile, I love you guys
Im in the same boat, my pain is getting to me and watching this video is so comforting and distracting. Also cool profile pic, I love Korra!
I literally had a mini love attack when I heard that intro. My life is complete . Eyk got me through some really tough times in my life and I’m just so grateful to see you come full circle. ❤️
Hi just a random commenter. But I've been watching you guys since high school and throughout college and your videos really help me get through the day. The last 4 years I've been preparing to go to medical school which has been tough and really difficult at times. There's been a lot of sleepless nights and Friday nights spent alone studying watching snaps of my friends having fun. But watching ya'lls videos during my breaks in studying really helped me along and made me smile. I just found out this last month that I was accepted into medical school and I just wanted to thank you guys for (unknowingly) coming along with me on this journey!
Keep making videos, I have some more tough years ahead of me. Sorry random commenter signing off.
IT WARMS MY HEART THAT IT HAS THE OLD STYLE ADVENTURE VIDEO THEME!!!! 100% made my day better. Thank you
“Breasticles” - Martina 2018. I love you guys.

I have been stressed out for a few months now. But every time I see your guys videos I relax and breath. The editing makes me calm. Thank you 😊.
Akita is my hometown！
Thank you for coming to Akita❤️
It's dream come true😭❤️
Twenty Two minutes of endless nostaligia!
Beautifully done video, little touches of the past, amazing information, a-dork-able chemistry--you two are such a stunning and fun couple. This video definitely earns a spot on the "rewatch when I'm feeling down" list.
Love and Hugs!!
Wow this was a great video, very beautiful!!! I gotta say i love how bright martina is! In the station with the bright pink coat, she stood out so much as a splash of color and light! I love you guys so much, thank you for another wonderful video
She always stands out she's the best!
This video was inspiring! My husband and I want to plan to make our third trip to Japan and follow your path. The fall colors were so beautiful and the onsens were awesome. Our 25th wedding anniversary is coming up in two years so it will be perfect timing.
I see y'all with your Fifth Element reference and great shots of the beautiful nature of Akita! Another wonderful video- thank you both for the love and work you put into your videos, all of it really shows throughout all of your content, and has definitely inspired me to try and travel to Japan once my schooling is complete! :D
来てくれてありがとう。
My god, your videos are getting ever more beautiful. I know that the base material is premium quality but gosh, don't you know, this quality, colors, camera angles, focal changes... I loved the music choices too !
Thank you for all this work and to continue to appreciate what you're experiencing at the same time, because that's easier said than done
Disney Pocahontas. Paint with all the colors of the wind.
Named that song.
I don't know if you mentioned it but Nyuto Onsen goes back 300 years. You were walking the same paths as Japanese travelers did in the 1700s. I've only been watching your channel since you moved to Japan, but I've noticed the quality and artistry of your videos noticeably going to a higher level. I'd love to see more interviews and interactions with Japanese people as you did with the chef Saito video, another beautifully done episode.
Listen. You guys rock. The more I watch, the more I love you both and your channel. Thank you for sharing your tips, personal thoughts and vulnerabilities on what you experience. And Martina's Shakira renditions now and then are priceless. ❤️
Why am I so happy to see / hear the old WANK intro!!! OMG I want to cry ugly tears of happiness!!
THE FIFTH ELEMENT. AM I LATE? LEE LOO DALLAS. MULTIPASS.
Refugee thank you! I was wondering!
100 POINTS for Refugee!
I had to search the comments section to see if anyone had answered it yet.
@@willownobelium3399 haha same here ! yay @Refugee !
Shoot! A day late and now 100 points short! LOL
The Twilight scene you guys recreated had me cracking up! I ❤️ you guys!!!
Lol i didnt realize until you mentioned it 😂
15:10 Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy "always bring your own towel"
One of my favourite books and I literally said that to Simon with all my obsessive towel bringing 😂
Enjoyed this video so much!!! Beautiful scenery and the edits had me cracking up the whole time.
Yea I think we need to put Akita on our list for when we go back to Japan to create more content
This is the type of Simon and Martina video I love the mostttt - super informative, beautifully shot, but also so casual, relaxed and personable
Been watching yr channel for a couple of years. So freaking awesome, one of your best also the benchgivesmelife. Lol.
I really needed a video like this. I could've watched hours of it. You guys make the best content and I am forever grateful.
"Leeloo Dallas. Multipass" 😂 love Fifth Element.
The nostalgia hit me
I was like. Wait did that say it was posted 4 minutes ago or 4 years. I just came out of an overnight shift and I legit thought I had traveled in time. 🤪
It's beautiful!
Hey I know you! We both did a video for the RUclips Stories promo! Hi!
I saw the title of this video and just about choked on my matcha au lait because I actually live in Akita (Katagami City) and I took a day trip to Nyuto and the Tazawa area last week😂 (to enjoy the changing leaves and the onsen of course). I can't remember the name of the onsen I went to, but it was traditional and tiny and the scenery was gorgeous. My friend actually went to Tsurunoyu a few days ago and said that he almost couldn't stand the sulfur egg smell, but I've heard from other people that it's one of the coolest onsens you'll ever visit. The fact that you guys came all the way up and really enjoyed your time here makes me really happy and #proud.😭
Guys, I’ve been watching your videos since 2012, and this video is by far my favorite out of all the hundreds I’ve seen. Thank you so much for sharing the beauty. ❤️
I can not believe how gorgeous it is!
I love videos like this so much... one of these days I'm gonna visit Japan and go to an onsen. Looks waaaay better than my lava showers, honestly.
this intro brings me back to korea!!!
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Oh wow that onsen looks so relaxing and beautiful
So beautiful!!! All the colors and the water sounds are just so relaxing. I am seeing Japan with new eyes.
"I know you didn't subscribe to this channel for artsy bench shots..." ...ACtualLY-ACTUALLY, I DID. Because you guys always appreciate the little stuff, and the beauty of everything going on around you. I get to enjoy the things you see, without being there. I appreciate the work you guys do. You two have collectively made me NEED to travel the world and see everything for myself, so thank you. For putting the wonder back into my soul
Martina your cinematography is amazing!!!
Hi Simon and Martina! I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now. I learned a lot from you guys about your travels. I remember my first experience at an onsen with my companion and I honestly felt a bit embarrassed/shy at first...you know, to be completely naked with everyone ( is same gender). But overall, it was very relaxing to do and a lot of fun! I learned to wear the yukata and I was so excited to rest in the tatami matted rooms. I went during cherry blossom season. I would love to travel back there in autumn sometime in the future. I heard it’s as beautiful in autumn as is in the spring season. ☺️
I hope you both are having so much fun and are continue to grow and be happy.
The music made me so nostalgic! I was getting flashbacks to your older videos! Much love to ya guys!
