Have you ever stayed in a ryokan? What did you think? Is it better than the typical hotel? Would you sleep on a futon on the floor in a tatami room? Share your experience and thoughts with me below! -John
Do you have to reserve hotel room before going there? Or can you do it when you arrive? How is this overall in Japan? Always book before going or just wander around and ask if they have a room?
ONLY in JAPAN Are you sure is it safe to go to Fukushima, even with all those radiation theories? I also really don't want to believe it but it still concerns me
I'm from Fukushima and I'd like to send sincere gratitude to you. I got great impression from your exquisitely prepared video...I'm happy to this warm situation that everybody can know beautiful parts of Fukushima in RUclips. Thank you for such wonderful introduction of our homeland to world.
I am from Australia, last year in November, my daughter and I stayed at Ookawaso onsen. It was amazing. The architecture of the building is so beautiful with all the timber and the running water through the lounge and lobby. The kyseki meals were amazing and almost too much to eat. Our server was the most wonderful host, always happy and excited to practice her English with us. I hope to go back some day. The reason we went to Ookawaso was because of this video. Thank you John.
Sounds strange, but one of the main reasons I like Japan is the architecture and buildings. Cozy small but tidy spaces just make me feel happy for unknown reasons. Anyone else?
Im gonna be honest i have like a wierd curiosity and love for things from old japan. The architecture and the way everything looks is just such a nice sight. I really like the culture too. Very intriguing topic and i love learning about it all!
Thank you for continuing to make content for this channel. The production quality is so high that these videos could very easily pass for something that would air on TV, but instead it’s available for all of us on the internet to watch for free. Your videos give viewers a very nice insight into Japan. Keep up the good work, John.
Thanks John for another excellent video. My family and I literally just returned to Tokyo from a two day trip to Takaragawa Onsen as a result of one of your earlier video’s. It was our first ever Onsen experience which the whole family thoroughly enjoyed. My wife and two girls liked the fact that they could wear the brown bathing dress, thus assisting their assimilation to public bathing. We often found after 5pm we had the whole Onsen to ourselves as you said in your video and to make the experience even more memorable it snowed on us while we were in the outdoor bath, just like in your Takaragawa video. This new video and the fact we loved the stay and the Kaiseki dining means we will look to Fukushima for our next trip. Thanks for your wonderful expansion of our minds and suggestions.
I stayed at Kamigoten Ryokan in Wakayama. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The outdoor onsen was amazing and had stunning views of the stream. The futon was more comfortable than a bed and the kaiseki was delicious. Would do it again!
I love how the vlogger covers various facets of the Japanese food and culture. He makes an effort to visit various spots of the similar kind which provides great research value. I find it way better than the other globe trotting vloggers.
Well he's been a permanent resident of Japan for over 20 years now. So he not only knows the country but is deeply immersed in it's culture also. He's not a vlogger that's only there for a couple weeks.
@ONLY in JAPAN I've been watching a few videos about the 3-11-2011 tsunami and have been horrified by them, and to follow those up with this video---to see Fukushima as you've portrayed here simply uplifts the spirits. So happy to see the people bounce back. Thank you for this upload.
That shot of Tsuchiyu onsen in the winter might have been the most beautiful thing i've ever seen! DEFINITELY going on my bucket list! I need to see that in person!
I want to visit Japan so much one day. Everything I see in Japan videos, and even in the shows like Super Sentai, gives me ideas of something to do while there.
Wonderful episode John. The quality continues to rise with each new video! Going to a Ryokan is one of the highest things on my list when I’ll visit Japan.
We stayed in a ryokan for the first time ever last year... we went to Hakone since that place is known for their hot springs, and stayed at a traditional place called Mikawaya Ryokan which I highly recommend!! It had the tatami mats, a private onsen in our room, and a wonderful kaiseki meal. Not only that but the people there were so kind and helpful. It was a very romantic and enjoyable experience. :)
This place is simply beautiful!! This is definitely somewhere I would love to stay, and experience!! And that areal view....spectacular! The food looks incredible!!! Man This video had me so jealous! One of these days...one of these days I will get to visit this beautiful country!
John, you give us all a chance to live vicariously through your videos. A big thank you from CA! You're giving me so many ideas for when I finally make it across the Pacific.
Very nice episode John me to been in Japan we stayed there for four years in sasebo my husband was in the navy. I love the culture the food and specially the people they are nice and very polite
I've had a Kaiseki feast in L.A.'s "Little Tokyo" on New Year's Eve (traditional celebration on the New Year) from the reputed best Japanese sushi bar & restaurant, and it was outstanding-- at least 15 to 20 dishes! I would love to experience a Ryokan, they look so beautiful! This was a great video tour!
Actually, it's Ukrainian. :) But it's really sounds a little bit like Japanese. By the way, the 48th yokozuna Taiho Koki also has Ukrainian origin (his father was ethnic Ukrainian - Markiyan Boryshko).
I visited Tokyo once... but that was a business trip and was mostly in Tokyo. Tokyo is a great city but my exposure was what a foreigner would experience, “garnished” with some Japanese culture. I cant thank you enough for your videos！You have great affection, respect and empathy for the culture which filters through to the viewer ！ It has really got me yearning to go back to Japan, but this time I guess I would begin with Osaka or Kyoto. The best guide to Japan for an English speaker ！
Each ryokan looks so luxurious and as for the food, I'm sold. Wonderful places to relax and unwind, think I better book into a couple on my visit. Once again the drone footage is stunning, another great shot of why Japan is so wonderful!
I notice that your videos keep getting better. Quality is top notch and it’s always entertaining as usual. For some reason your Japanese videos always make me feel good, like I’m being transported to Japan. Keep up the good work!! 😀😀
I loved this episode! Can't wait to visit one if I ever go to Japan. A quick side note, I was watching a 360 video you did in the past on my video game console and it allowed me to look around. I was thoroughly shocked and enjoyed the experience. :)
John, your videos are amazing. I would write comments on each video, but the thing is they would be paragraphs long! Words can not describe how these videos make me feel, the joy and enchantment. I just wanted to say one thing about this one and the other videos that include hotels/places to stay. These rooms are so beautiful and well crafted, but as travellers and visitors to them, I doubt many people spend time in their rooms! Mays that’s why they look so new and pristine after so long. If I were to stay at one of these places, I would only go back to my room to sleep since there is so much food and culture to discover outside of it. Keep up the great work John, your documentation of this culture is as close as I think I can get to the real thing right now. You’re an inspiration, and because you’ve opened my eyes to this amazing world of Japan, I am hoping to go myself one day. Thank you.
I must say I stayed at a couple different Ryokan while I was in Japan and they both astounded me with how friendly and personable they were. The first was right after I got to Japan, so this young, jet lagged, speaking a few words mumbled half remembered Japanese. But they prepared my lovely meal (I had provided the flight to the hotel as per their request so they would start getting things ready for when I landed.) The food was amazing, and after my meal i was able to sleep right away. I awoke to the temple bells and a freshly prepared traditional Buddhist meal that was to die for. The second one was way out in the countryside in Aomori prefecture, you could tell that they didnt get many foreign visitors yet they apologized to me for not knowing much English even as they perfectly walked me through everything. The only issue (And please take this as a warning for those visiting rural Ryokan) is that I dont think they had ever considered someone as tall as myself visiting them (6'3), and they simply did not have a Yukata in my size.
I live in Sweden, awesome place, but the care for details found in Japan is on another level, no other country can compete with them. I stayed for 9 months in Tokyo back in 2003, from train stations, to restaurants to government offices to private sector, is just something unbelievable...
I’ve just discovered your channel recently and it’s wonderful. I’m learning so much. Thank you! Your enthusiasm, smiles, and positivity truly make it special.
I'm visiting Japan for my honeymoon soon and I would love to stay at Hanakanzashi Onsen but I'm worried that it might be difficult since we don't speak Japanese. Do you think it would be possible for people who don't speak Japanese to get there by train and stay at the onsen? I'm just worried that we might not be able to communicate adequately with the staff. Thanks in advance :)
Aww i didn't want this video to end. Every place was so beautiful! I can only imagine how much more beautiful all the places were in person! Great job, John!
For meals that could be slippery like this one people prefer to use disposable chopsticks because wood is a little less slippery so that’s why we use disposable chopsticks in these cases
Lovely I loved Japanese foods especially kaizeki ,n Japanese sake ,Japan is excellent, thank you so much for your beautiful tour,🇯🇵🌸🦋💕god bless and peace 🙏
The slogan from the prefecture Fukushima :" You came as a stranger and leave us as Radioactive-Man!"( i am just joking :) it looks so great but i would be scared to go there! I love japan.It´s a great country with great people!
Hi John, with the room with the private onsen you mentioned good for the "shy or those with tattoos"... is there a stigma to having tattoos? Like would you be barred entry to an onsen for having them?
Kurt Criscione I remember one of the other youtubers (a couple) who live there have tattoos and said some are now allowing tattoos but most dont because its thought to be related to gangs
i just came back from Japan, and it kills me watching this video because i want to go back badly again....i miss the onsen, the food, the beautiful sceneries while traveling in the train and almost everything about Japan. I envy you so much because you live there. thanks again for sharing.......more onsen escapades pls.....ganbatte ne :)
In Japan it is inappropriate. It's very rare for anyone other than yakuza to have tattoos in Japan. They relate tattoos with criminals. So at onsen people with tattoos aren't allowed.
@@nst.pierre9800 lol what...damn..i will need to give up my plan of having tattoo or going to Japan..i dont want locals there mistaking me for a delinquent :(
Have you ever stayed in a ryokan? What did you think? Is it better than the typical hotel? Would you sleep on a futon on the floor in a tatami room? Share your experience and thoughts with me below! -John
ONLY in JAPAN would love to travel to Japan one day and do all this stuff.
HI JOHN TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY I'M 33 YEARS OLD!

Hi, I'm from Tottori.
sucks about america nuking you, u should get revenge
@@modshroom that was really inappropriate. If you have nothing nice to say then do not say anything at all.
Dude, exactly I avoid going there because there is severe radiation there.
The place is Heavenly,Lucky you!!!

This channel is THE BEST guide to Japan.
Him and Abroad Japan are my two Japan guides, it's def on my bucket list to go see.
No doubt. John Daub 's videos are really cool ❕ I also enjoy "Sharla in Japan" and "Tokyo Drew" .
i think so
Sounds strange, but one of the main reasons I like Japan is the architecture and buildings. Cozy small but tidy spaces just make me feel happy for unknown reasons. Anyone else?
anyone else? duuuuh!!
Japanese architecture is a projection of their religion and beliefs . Chtistianism is all about huge concrete temples and prists covered with gold.
Yes also the simplicity 😊
Im gonna be honest i have like a wierd curiosity and love for things from old japan. The architecture and the way everything looks is just such a nice sight. I really like the culture too. Very intriguing topic and i love learning about it all!
Absolutely
It is so fantastic. I love Japan 🇯🇵, hope to visit this wonderful country in the near future.

I love how you review the Japanese culture and customs without disrespect or ridicule
I adore, how the Japanese present their foods, with such respect for the ingredients, and harmonious balance .
6:30 holy crow, I need one of those decanters in my life! chilled drinks without watering them down, yes please.
The Japanese aesthetic in food, surroundings, and spaces is simply above all else. The simplicity is masterful.
3:05 Is pure #awesomeness - I wish more hotels would design similar aesthetics, preferably in Tokyo
G.P.Architektur und Innenraume A.G. that would be impossible because main cities have too much buildings to have a big hotel with all these facilities
As always, John, that's a super fascinating video and the quality is extremely great. Well done and thanks! Big hi from Russia.
I stayed at Kamigoten Ryokan in Wakayama. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The outdoor onsen was amazing and had stunning views of the stream. The futon was more comfortable than a bed and the kaiseki was delicious. Would do it again!
I love how the vlogger covers various facets of the Japanese food and culture. He makes an effort to visit various spots of the similar kind which provides great research value. I find it way better than the other globe trotting vloggers.

I love how Japanese culture so focused on attention to detail. It is just beautiful.
That shot of Tsuchiyu onsen in the winter might have been the most beautiful thing i've ever seen! DEFINITELY going on my bucket list! I need to see that in person!
I'm surprised how this amazing channel has not reached 1M subs, the film quality and voiceover is so great
日本人の俺が観ても凄く見応えのある動画だな！いつも観てるけど一番良かったかも！笑
行きたくなってきた🙄
この旅館凄く高そう…💸💸
ホントに高そう！
I want to visit Japan so much one day. Everything I see in Japan videos, and even in the shows like Super Sentai, gives me ideas of something to do while there.
Wonderful episode John. The quality continues to rise with each new video! Going to a Ryokan is one of the highest things on my list when I’ll visit Japan.
I searched for this ryokan, Fukushima "Hanakanzashi" .
1 night/ 1 person more as 300 dollar...
We stayed in a ryokan for the first time ever last year... we went to Hakone since that place is known for their hot springs, and stayed at a traditional place called Mikawaya Ryokan which I highly recommend!!

Traditional Japanese hotels are awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Wonderfully produced and makes me want to stay in a ryokan on my next visit.
Wow I really want to go to Japan now
you should, its a blast
Right?
Tsuchiyu Onsen (4:05) looks like those fairy tale kingdoms.
It really does
I love this video.
The japanese food is so delicious..
Japan is seriously breathtaking...
The start of my morning is a cup of coffee and only in Japan...
Luxury at its finest! I must experience this one day.Much respect to the japanese;their artistry, and work ethic.
This place is simply beautiful!! This is definitely somewhere I would love to stay, and experience!! And that areal view....spectacular!
The food looks incredible!!! Man This video had me so jealous! One of these days...one of these days I will get to visit this beautiful country!

Very nice episode John me to been in Japan we stayed there for four years in sasebo my husband was in the navy. I love the culture the food and specially the people they are nice and very polite
I love that you focus on the ryokan instead of filming yourself constantly......because this is what I'm REALLY interested in
I love to visit Japan 🇯🇵
Great place to travel and I get to visit to see my aunt and grandma. Great video John!
You captured some spectacular aerial views and colorful scenes of Japan. Great episode as always. Thumbs up!
I've had a Kaiseki feast in L.A.'s "Little Tokyo" on New Year's Eve (traditional celebration on the New Year) from the reputed best Japanese sushi bar & restaurant, and it was outstanding-- at least 15 to 20 dishes! I would love to experience a Ryokan, they look so beautiful! This was a great video tour!
No one has me envy someone's life more than you, John. This is one of your best videos.
Your videos of Japanese culture is so relaxing. ❤️
Looks so serene and peaceful. I would love to be there, unwind and relax
Wooden Ryokan looks awesome! And there are lots of salivation scenes (tasty meals!!!) in this video.
Your name is so russian it sounds japanese
Actually, it's Ukrainian. :) But it's really sounds a little bit like Japanese. By the way, the 48th yokozuna Taiho Koki also has Ukrainian origin (his father was ethnic Ukrainian - Markiyan Boryshko).
Oleksandr Zubchenko its hard to distinguish Ukrainians in america. We call you guys russians here.
Such lovely locations and wonderful places to stay while visiting. Such attention to detail! Thanks for sharing this!
The food looks amazing and all the ryokan look beautiful. Definitely want to stay at a ryokan whenever I get to go to Japan!
I just love that they are taking their shoes off, so clean love it
Considering that diseases can be tracked into the home with shoes..like covid19
I LOVE your professional style! With interviews and background-informations, keep it up ;-)
I visited Tokyo once... but that was a business trip and was mostly in Tokyo. Tokyo is a great city but my exposure was what a foreigner would experience, “garnished” with some Japanese culture.
I cant thank you enough for your videos！You have great affection, respect and empathy for the culture which filters through to the viewer ！
It has really got me yearning to go back to Japan, but this time I guess I would begin with Osaka or Kyoto.
The best guide to Japan for an English speaker ！
I love ur videos John. They are much better than a television documentary .👍
I love the host's sense of delight and discovery. This show is fabulous! I've added ryokan to my bucket list!

Omg, I have to go to Japan before I die!!! Look so beautiful and peaceful.
Loving the frequent uploads! The work you put in this channel is really amazing man, keep it up!!
I loved the look of Okawaso! Huge, wide open space that seemed very inviting.
This Channel Is Awesome! Like Therapy, And Informative.
That ice jar thing is actually very smart. Doesn't dilute the drink but keeps it cold.

Definitely one of the heaven on earth, just wow...
Life is good in the best country on earth...

Urayamashi...
The content is so simple, to the point and very very informative. 👍
do you have a new episode schedule or something this is like the 4th episode this month ususally we get 1-2
Ryokan - superb place and outstanding wooden rooms
Just curious, such fancy cuisine at ryokans but you are using disposable chopsticks?
For meals that could be slippery like this one people prefer to use disposable chopsticks because wood is a little less slippery so that’s why we use disposable chopsticks in these cases
Aint gonna lie... i'm good with Chop sticks. When i see the slippery kind i get nervous..
Lovely I loved Japanese foods especially kaizeki ,n Japanese sake ,Japan is excellent, thank you so much for your beautiful tour,🇯🇵🌸🦋💕god bless and peace 🙏
The slogan from the prefecture Fukushima :" You came as a stranger and leave us as Radioactive-Man!"( i am just joking :)
it looks so great but i would be scared to go there! I love japan.It´s a great country with great people!
Best country in the world Japanese cuisine culture tradition people discipline just mind blowing
Hi John, with the room with the private onsen you mentioned good for the "shy or those with tattoos"... is there a stigma to having tattoos? Like would you be barred entry to an onsen for having them?
Kurt Criscione I remember one of the other youtubers (a couple) who live there have tattoos and said some are now allowing tattoos but most dont because its thought to be related to gangs
Gang? You guys mean Yakuza? You know the famous gangster in Japan. All of them have tattoos right?
J G it was a question, no need to be hateful.
in japan tattoo bore a stigma of gang member known as yakuza or bad people. Despite metal and rock band members in Japan also wearing tattoo XDDDD
and yup. some bath houses didn't allow ppl with tattoo to enter.
i just came back from Japan, and it kills me watching this video because i want to go back badly again....i miss the onsen, the food, the beautiful sceneries while traveling in the train and almost everything about Japan. I envy you so much because you live there. thanks again for sharing.......more onsen escapades pls.....ganbatte ne :)
Fukushima radiation area is only part of coast now.Dont worry, visiting Fukushima Ryokan.its safety. from japan.
What a beautiful inn and that Kaiseki cuisine...yummmm
“people with tattoos”?
Is it not appropriate for people with tattoos to show them in a public setting like that?
In Japan it is inappropriate. It's very rare for anyone other than yakuza to have tattoos in Japan. They relate tattoos with criminals. So at onsen people with tattoos aren't allowed.
@@nst.pierre9800 lol what...damn..i will need to give up my plan of having tattoo or going to Japan..i dont want locals there mistaking me for a delinquent :(
Another amazing episode John! I'm so grateful for the time and effort you put into each one of them! Thanks for sharing this experience with us!
Thank you for the video but I cannot watch it John with all the music you have added this sort of show does not need any
It is more than anything to enjoy Japan. Please come to Kyoto. We are waiting for you in Kyoto. From Kyoto citizens
I wonder if there are any easter eggs in this video?
Guess we'll know if it gets taken down
Easter eggs? What did I miss in the other videos?
John hid Toby under his yukata. =P
it was only a joke, chill
Boj it's 22 January, ofcourse there are no easter eggs
Bonus points for the drone footage on this one. BEAUTIFUL!!! Every video makes me wonder why I'm not there yet. Thanks!!!
I'm glad that they're starting to cater for foreign visitors. :)
i am falling in love with japan
a day in that hotel is better then a week in 5 star room at hilton
Mr. John Daub, you are like the modern Japan Video Topics. I just love how you explain and react to things. Keep sharing everything Japan!
This is a great video. one of my favorite channels now
I've got to say, visually, this is the best OinJ that I've seen! Really well done camera work!
