Exploring my City in Japan: Tomo no Ura

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- I haven't had much of a chance to explore my city, Fukuyama, and wanted to take a day and explore with you guys! Today, we're going to an area to the southern edge of Fukuyama, Tomo no Ura. A place with lots of temples, and history! There were so many more little shops and cafes I wanted to visit. I will definitely come back!

Wowww it’s sooo pretty! Love all the little side streets. Can’t wait to come visit🙆♀️🌊✨
I can't wait to take you!! Must eat those sweets at that store. :E
@@PurinFriends yusssss
@@sharlainjapan Will you be visiting? I've seen rollercoasters that aren't as steep as some of those street
I really enjoyed seeing what the side streets looked like, the chill music and your commentary. I look forward to more of these!
The cluster of Islands that is Japan is just so remarkable. So many different terrains and seasons all in one place. We get the snowy north with Sharla and now the Pretty south with Mark! :)
Very relaxing and beautiful area. I love the traditional and old vibes.
Thank you!😊 That was like taking a trip w/a friend. Oh! I did!😉 I love all your fur babies but, "know" Purin the most. Love, light & blessings.❤ Stay safe.
So, so beautiful. I loved the walk through the spooky cemetery.
This is so beautiful 💕 I love the feeling of walking through the back streets in Japan 💗
Yeah, i was walking around thinking, "where does this gooo?"
Beautiful city and peaceful music. I feel like I just went to a spa :)
What a beautiful town. Thank you for the tour! I would have loved to grow up in a place like this.
Looking forward to the next tour.
A very relaxing video! Japan has a very beautiful traditional architecture, it was great to watch, thanks 😊
This was such a lovely and relaxing day out. Thank you for taking us with you!
Beautiful place Mark! Thanks for showing it to us.
Cool thank you have a great week 🤘☮️💙🍀😜🤘🦋
I love the music style and that town looks so pretty.
I really enjoyed the calm atmosphere of this video and the background music! It's a very nice and pretty area~
good thing you werent alone, we were with you and it was beautiful. thank you
Awesome video! So calming. Thanks for showing us the beautiful area 🙂
Poor Mark, no benches! 😭 I appreciate all the walking around you did, especially the stairs, since it’s really not your thing. ☺️
Now I wanna do a stream walking around the city looking for benches, sitting on them and giving them ratings 😂😂
Putting this down on my to do list.
Walking alone when you live alone can be boring, it's natural you'll seek the company of your friends. But there's nothing better than walking around alone when you have family, kids, pets...all the noise and responsibilities😃 It's the peace you seek to relax and connect with yourself in such moments.
Ahaha, so true.
Nice relaxing video to view on a Sunday Morning. I honestly don't know why my parents (born and raised in Yamaguchi-ken) wanted to emigrate to the USA. I have aunties and cousins in Yamaguchi and Hiroshima. 元気でねー
I love videos like this, where you explore small lanes and little corners of a town away from the main tourist areas. The only thing I wish you had done more of is stop off in the cafes that you came across, and perhaps a ramen shop or two. ❤️🙏🏽
Yeah, I wanted to as well! Will put more effort into going inside next time! Thanks for the advice~
Thank you for taking us with you. Definately on my must in Japan visit list. Take care in this Corona time.
HELLO Ur 🐱s look VERY WELL ADJUSTED U LOOK GREAT MARK && THANK U 4 THE WONDERFUL TOUR Can't wait 4 more videos MARK can U take us 2 where U eat or OVERALL Ur grocery store THANK U ❤
fantastic video! really felt like you having fun exploring the area. thanks for sharing!! looking forward to more videos!
the cats' reactions to you coming home is so adorable
So relaxing! Thanks Mark :)
Hi Mark, thanks for the video! I love this type of video a lot! The music background was perfect plus I can still hear what’s going on around you while walking. Nice hidden paths you chose! I miss Japan a lot but specially these types of old towns and walk around the neighborhoods.
It was so relaxing watching the video, I really enjoyed 💓💓💓💓. Hope to see more soon!
Beautiful! Enjoyed your video. Stay safe.
Your video was amazing, just quiet and chill, keep up the good work, I Love it x
I always enjoy seeing the classic architecture that Japan has to offer. It's so different than what we have in North America. The walk looked peaceful. I'm glad you felt more comfortable!
This makes me miss Japan so much! So gorgeous! 💕
Wow, very cool. Looks like scenes from a movie.
All the side streets reminded me of the scene in The Cat Returns when Haru was chasing Moota through the city. This is so beautiful, thanks for sharing this and now I'm going to watch The Cat Returns!
I love your video! It looks so peaceful and so serene there and the music choices are so perfectly matched to the entire theme of your video 😍😍😍
Thank you! I'm glad you liked ittt!
Awesome video. I imagine it took quite a lot of work so thank you for sharing it with us. I love content like this, it helps with not being able to travel at the moment!
very nice, i enjoyed the walk 😀
This was very enjoyable.!
so peaceful
Thank you Mark that was beautiful ☺️
I'm glad you enjoyed it!! I'm probably gonna make this a series especially once I get my gimbal.
It's so pretty! I want to go visit next time I go to Japan!
Also, I really love your videos, they are so calming
Aww thank you!
Such a beautiful area!! Seems like hardly anyone was out. Thanks for the tour :)
Thanks for always dropping by~❤️
Maybe you should consider doing a livestream whilst walking around. I think that would be less lonely for you and even more fun for us 😊 Thanks for showing us around Mark. It was a very Zen experience
Haha. I really considered it, but I needed to get an actual video up. Will consider it for the next place!
Thank you for taking us along, it was really pretty and relaxing 😌
I like your darker hair! Looks good! 👍🏻 Beautiful video!
I really did miss my dark hair color 😂 thank you
It looks like such a pretty place to live! Stay safe, Mark! 💚
I'm actually around 20 minutes drive away from here, but it's in the same city. It's verrry different where I live
Hey Mark, I really like your style! Not everbody manages to "walk" the camera around and produce a video that is interesting and that needs to be watched till the very end. Looking forward to much more from you!
Aww this means so much! Thank you! I'm getting a gimbal before I do another one though. So many crooked shots, I honestly wasn't happy with most of the shots I took.
@@PurinFriends I used to work in German television for many years, and I've learned: Much about "storytelling with moving pictures" has to do with the pace of the cuts/the story, as well as with the general "feel" of the optical narrative. And I think you're doing brilliantly in these categories!
Oh, wow. Hearing that from a pro really makes me feel better about this video 😅😅 thank you so much! I'm definitely taking people's advice and fitting them in where I can with my upcoming videos~
Nice music and sceneries, enjoyed it very much 🤗 ... until around 09:12, I started to have a bit of motion sickness 🤢 (while I was not in a car nor walking around, but just sitting in my room to watch your video).
Ahaha, well thanks for sticking around so long! I'm going to order a gimbal before my next walk around so it shouldnt be as bad next time!
That was incredible. Finally got to watch the whole video, Mark.. please do more videos like this one. I know it feels simple but there’s soooo much joy for me to just watch a person walk their towns. It’s a way for me to travel when we can’t. You’re opening up the doors for us! Plus seeing actual ordering done in Japanese helps me for when I come visit too on what to expect. (So fast! I need to talk faster)
Yeah, I think when I'm filming alone in new areas, this is the style I'll be adopting! I'm taking everyone's input and considering it when I film next~
what a magical little place, soo peaceful and beautiful, surrounded by lots of History and water..really nice tour, Thank you for taking us with you on this trip. Hope you and the kitties are doing well and adjusting to your new life, hopefully making some friends too!
Tomo no Ura was gorgeous! Thank you so much for spreading light on the beauty that is Fukuyama/Hiroshima! I'd definitely recommend checking out Onomichi if you get the chance :) Looking forward to seeing your upcoming videos!!
Yess. I forgot that I did go around the time I arrived here, but I wasn't around for very long. I'll try to get some filming done there as well!
@@PurinFriends I'd love to see that! Hope you've been enjoying life in Fukuyama so far!
Such a relaxing and peaceful vlog~^ ^ thank you for sharing your travels~~also, the kitties are such a cute welcome party~😍
Thanks for sharing this beautiful town and its treats with us! Super relaxing and chill😊
What a lovely area! Thank you for showing us around :)
Those yummy sweets! I want you and Sharla to try ALL of them. It always is amazing how clean the side streets are. Thanks for your post. (Purin looks very content!)💜🙏🏻
Hey Mark! Nice walkabout. Nice drone footage at the beginning. Did you ever get disoriented during all the twists and turns?
I got so lost. Haha. I was walking around in circles!
Thanks for taking us around! Can't wait to see more. I couldn't help thinking Sharla has to find a reason to travel here too. She always has a great way of showing off different areas of Japan. Love seeing the cats, but always excited for whatever you want to share too.
Soon! We hope~
I went a few years ago and thanks for reminding me of that museum. It wasn't open when I went. The buses took a long time to get there, too.
Nice drone shots! Did you get a new drone?
Oh, wow. So you've been! I hope more things are open next time haha.
The drone I've had for a couple years now. Finally got some use out of it is all haha.
@@PurinFriends I forgot to say, I did the walk up to the top of the hill to a scenic viewpoint. I like walking up hills but from Sharla's videos I think you're not a huge fan.
I had lunch at a nice cafe by docks which I'd go back to if it's still open.
Wow, it reminds me of those French coastal villages. Very different than other videos I've seen from Japan. I nearly lol when I saw the lone vending machine. It did feel a bit lonely but it was so interesting.
Such a nice little town! The streets are adorable. Wish you had shown the dessert a bit more tho
Haha, yeah so did I. But the footage after that snippet was me fumbling to get the damned thing on the spoon. It was a disaster
Great video Mark, that’s great you had a good time, hopefully when Sharla gets there you’ll have more fun
Such a great walk ! Beautiful views ! Thanks for sharing !!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
Hopefully you get more comfortable doing more walks like this and sharing them with us 😊 loved seeing all of the beautiful Japanese architecture.
Much love from Arizona ❤️❤️
Aww thank you!! Yes, I liked this kind of video. Def wanna do it again.
This was such a nice and chill video, I'm excited to see more of your travels.
Thanks for this video! It's really relaxing and the songs are really well chosen for it! Your new town is really pretty!
Yesss. It was kinda far away from home, but it was def worth it.
This was lovely Mark. What a beautiful place to live. X
great video, beautiful scenery - glad ur settling into ur new life man
That was a cool shot of the island near the beginning, especially with the bird flying through the shot. Something I hadn't thought about seeing drone shots until now, having to dodge predators while flying them lol
Yeah, when I saw it getting closer, I honestly thought I would lose over 2 grand that day haha.
Thank you for the adventure!
Beautiful and serene
Enjoyed wandering with you. You should do this again.
Next time with a gimbal!!! So many skewed shots. I hated it 😂
Your town seems very lovely. Something I've noticed as I've watched footage of people walking around various towns in Japan on different RUclips channels is that the walkways between houses always seem very narrow/tight compared to what I'm used to here in the U.S. It does make me wonder sometimes, if these buildings ever need exterior maintenance or people have large items delivered, things like that where you might expect the need for larger items to get into those spaces, what happens then? Some of the building doorways that you walked past, I was like... hopefully they never need to get any large furniture items delivered down that walkway or into that building door, lol.
I'm glad "we" (as the camera) were able to keep your company on your adventures and make it maybe a little more fun that way ^_^
Ahahaha, I have no idea myself. I've never lived in places with narrow walkways, but I'm assuming parking where they can stop and carrying from there! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour~!
Sooo pretty, chill and so many machiya house/storefronts!!! Assuming it's a smaller town/city, what's people's reaction when they see you vlogging?
I wasn't talking at all so it wasn't bad! People were kind enough to give me room at times though haha.
Nice drone footage. It looks lovely, plus it’s clean! Korean alleys aren’t clean. I’m craving a peaceful area. Incheon, Korea is becoming too much. I want a quiet town.
Oh god, Incheon. Spent two weeks there. Was not happy 😂😂
If you keep upping the quality of your videos you'll one day surpass Chris and Norm. They had better watch out.
Cats and quiet places, I'm in *posts self to Japan*
Ahaha. Chris's stuff? Never. He puts soooo much work into his vids, and I don't have the patience 😂
@@PurinFriends Lol, maybe one day. If you ever get the patience.
Piano sounds like Phillip Glass
It's from a creator: Juan Sánchez!
@@PurinFriends yes I saw that, but does remind me a little of Phillip Glass
Ahh, gotcha👍
Ooo so pretty! More Vlogs please :)
Yassss
So peaceful. Why did you move away from Sharla?
Because of a job relocation.
Aww, dammit. Was gonna write an elaborate lie too. 😂😂
Oh i must have missed hearing about the job. I would love to come back to Japan.2014 for only a week was so long ago.
Thanks for the walk, Mark! It's so pretty there! Looking forward to seeing more
