I know I'm probably in the minority but I prefer these types of videos where I learn more about Japan than the usual in-studio stuff. Hope you guys do more of this kinda content in the future.
idiggthis I too want more traveling/outside studio videos but I’d guess it’s pretty expensive to do so. 😭
I agree
Watch Abroad in Japan! Most of his vids are like this one. Plus who can resist his sarcastic british charm.
The man selling the dumplings was so interesting and kind. As was the lovely lady at the beginning! So sad that I am unable to travel due to disability. But I love watching videos like these, they open my little world right up,
The Real Mythril . Me too! Our worlds are never closed, when our minds are open.
Hope you'll still get a chance to travel in the future!
The Real Mythril I'm a wheelchair but I felt like I'm there.
@@zZiL341yRj736 couldn't you travel with wheelchair? I realize it would be difficult, but there must be some places that would be better suited than others.
@@CamilleLMacLean some disabilities require more than a wheelchair :) plus not many places in Japan are wheelchair friendly to navigate around.
Aww I miss Kumamoto already :(
Looks so nice. It's gone on my list of places to visit when I finally get to travel to Japan! By the way, is Chris Broad really that annoying that you need to get away from him? I always imagined everyone else found him annoying, but this seems to confirm that suspicion!
Austin Dyer they’re just teasing Chris
商業主義の悪魔
I love how Sharla is super friendly and engages well in conversations
Am I the only Japanese who loves to watch this kind of travel videos shot by foreign RUclipsrs here? They just make me realise how beautiful my country is haha cheers!
I can understand why! Its great to see your own country from fresh eyes. I saw gordon ramsay in Norway a while back and it was lovely to see my countries food and culture from that perspective.
I had tears in my eyes when the uncle showed some pictures before the earthquake.. I wish to visit Kumamoto too. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video
I think it's so cute that you're trying to promote Kumamoto Castle - it really deserves it. I haven't been to Kumamoto Castle in about 10 years, but I REALLY liked it. I have been to way over 150 Japanese castles by now and Kumamoto is certainly somewhere up in my top list. When I realized what the quake had done to the castle, I was really sad. :( But I guess sooner or later it's the fate of every castle. :( Let's hope the original castle towers will survive a loooooong time. :)
zoomingjapan what are your thoughts on Nagoya Castle? My favorite one!! I went this Summer and there were these Ninja people sneaking up in photos! It was awesome!
@@jalvarez8626 I really like the outer appearance of Nagoya Castle. It's utterly beautiful. However, the interior is boring. I prefer the original castles a lot more. But Nagoya Castle is definitely worth a visit. However, currently the main tower is closed due to reconstruction works. :)
zoomingjapan agreed it is very sad and unfortunate they are very beautiful. I like the architecture.
The shopkeepers in the village were so lovely!! I love how much they interacted and spoke to you guys, and how well they recommended the food they were selling.
Another Amazing Video from "The CEO" & Sharmander!
I have to admit, I'm going to miss Sharla in Tokyo Creative's videos when she heads back to Korea. 😢
Yeah... Mee too!
She's already back in Korea :(
Me to
She has since moved back to Japan. She and her husband are getting divorced.
Xcaliber Trekker Look at her last video
5:46 Chris seemed like "ugh idk about that" there 🤣
This is probably one of my fav episode of Tokyo creative. Amazing colab ,, great job. This place will be on my list to visit when I go to japan
good episode but i miss emma
The Tokaido road was the road from Kyoto to Tokyo used back in the feudal period in Japan, and has rest stops, or "stations" that people would stop at to eat and rest on the long journey. There are still a few stations around today on the old road! There were "post towns" that sprung up along these roads, of which you can still see today. Something I definitely wanna do when I finally visit!
I was kinda surprised they didn't know that.
I wouldn't be offended, not everyone knows everything about Japan, it's something I learnt about on my own though@@AncaBaciu
I’m also amazed they didn’t know. Even the most basic reading would tell you about the security on the Tokaido (and elsewhere) during the Shogunate but on the top of that there is Hiroshige’s famous ukiyo-e woodcut prints.
I lived in Kumamoto for years but left months before the Earthquake and have not seen the devastation.. It makes me sad but happy.
That being said, I'm so glad you all stopped there, it brings back so many memories.
If doubt you're still there, but if you ever go back I recommend trying to go to Aso and Mt. Aso and getting some horse skewers, flying cow cookies, caramel pudding, or volcano nikuman, and try out the hotsprings - they're very beautiful.
I visited many of these places 9 years ago. So nostalgic! Some shopkeepers are even same.
Sharla's japanese is so good!
Great video; I love Sharla, she always brightens up a video. Scenery and local people, quite lovely.
I think this is one of my favorite videos of yours you've done. I only knew Kumamoto by name until this video, and this video has been such a lovely introduction to a lovely place in the world. I've always gone "I want to go to Japan" but I never really knew *where* in Japan I wanted to go. Kumamoto just rose to the top of that list.
Thanks guys! That was a perfect mix of education, food, and insanely friendly locals. I wish I could get as excited about ANYTHING as Sharla did about that orange juice.
Mouth watering food!! I absolutely enjoyed this video, the people were so very friendly and the history was amazing
this is a great format. you guys really improve the quality and professionalism of tourism-related video.
I went to Kumamoto for a few days back in April and i absolutely love Kumamoto Prefecture, everyone there is friendly and the garden is amazing!
I totally missed that this castle was destroyed! I visited in 2006 and remember how amazing the architecture was. I’m happy that they are reconstructing it as it was truly a beautiful piece of history.
That lady that speaks three languages seems sweet and that man that sold you guys the sweet potatoes treats seems really nice. Love how impressed he was with Sharla’s Japanese.
i miss japan,i love the foods and the people are very polite
This is some special content you got there. Truly Tokyo Creative. Very respectful and appreciative of the region whilst showing the enjoyable things to do.
Went on a a gastronomic adventure while Chris (Abroad in Japan) is cycling hahaha 🤣😅
idk why but I like this video... it's only 20 min but it feel like 40 min, but not in a bad way.
Wow, Kumamoto just climed high in my want to see list. Castle, good food and friendly people. It is strange after watching so many travelig videos, one place can strand out that much. One of my favorit videos, good vibes all around.
This was good. Hope the town recovers swiftly.
i like the shocked ossan
The Dango merchant was so nice
I was lucky enough to go inside the castle more than year before earthquake, great memory of samurai performances inside. I love the area, so sad this happened.
very good personalities - so much to explore over there - ganbaremasu!
14:00 The men is so friendly!!!
Just the Dango man alone makes me wanna go to Kumamoto to visit and buy some of his dango. The man was so cool and had such swagger selling his wares.
10/10 Absolute legends. Such an amazing video, loved every single moment.
5:20 i love that reaction
You two are great together - in my next life I am coming back as Sharla - I love Japanese culture - the people are awesome and the landscape amazing! That food looked wonderful!
Yesss new adventures from the Gang
Just got a notification about the landslides in Atami, I hope all of the Tokyo creative staff and your families and safe.
I love you both you are one of my favorite J-Volggers. I love you guys so much.
In my trip trough Japan I visited Kumamoto for a couple of hours to visit Miyamoto Musashi’s cave, where he wrote the book of five rings. Awesome place to visit. However seeing this video, I think we should have given the actual city itself more time. Great video guys :)
That food they were having
that sounds delicious!
I really like the dumpling vendor. Not only was he nice he had also a very pleasant way of speaking japanese.
(Disclaimer: i understand only about three words of japanese)
Half way through the video and I'm sold! I have to add this place to my bucket list. Locals are amazing and food looks absolutely delicious!
BTW, thank you for covering this place, it doesn't get enough recognition. I agree with Sharla's older video about how Tokyo is...kinda overrated? Not in a bad way!! Just there is so much to see outside of it that it's really a shame is you limit yourself to just Tokyo!
Tokyo Creative, thank you for making this. I came here because I live in Kumamoto province's sister state--Montana. I'm working on a minor holiday and I wanted a pick-me-up before I dove into my day. I am proud that Kumamoto City's people are so kind and helpful! Thank you Kumamoto, for being so inspiring. I look forward to working late!
One of the best! Food are yummy and you two made a good job hosting.
it's so nice to see sharla in japan again. thank u so much TC for this gift
will be visiting Kumamoto next year.. this video got me even more excited
These videos are so warm and fuzzy, I love it!
The channel is soooo calm and soothing until... Chris drops in! Love it.
This is great Kumamoto looks a bit like Northeast US, what a beautiful place and that trilingual saleswoman was awesome. Another great video guys.
I really want to visit Kumamoto!! It's high on my list next time I visit Japan ❤
I was actually living in Nagasaki in 2016 at the time that the earthquake hit kumamoto. Even from that far away the tremors were quite strong and being from Australia it was the first i had ever experienced. I was wanting to go to visit kumamoto be i never got the chance before leaving Japan so seeing the photos was a bit of insite that I really appreciated seeing.
Great episode! The content keeps getting better.
That thumbnail is great because I took a picture in that same spot. Kumamoto was awesome!
Loved this tour and dedicating time to talking with the locals was great.
Also, now I'm hungry.
Wow, i am only speaking a bit of Japanese. My wife is Japanese but we are living in Germany. But stills i did understand every single word of that selling man. He knows how to speak with foreigners and used a perfect easy japanese i guess. Great!😊👍👍
That made me enjoy that video even more.
I was at that castle a few year's ago and it makes me really sad seeing what happened to that place. My daughter is going to a Japanese school one day every week to learn more Japanese and theycollected donations for ourmamoto there. We donated quick. I hope it came there and helped. From the bottom of my heart i wish the people all the best!
YES to Kumamoto people being some of the friendliest in Japan! They definitely earn their tourism.
There are more behind the scenes videos than actual videos about the journey across Japan! Haha. Tell Chris to get on his bike, literally and figuratively!
This guy is the Jarjar Binks of Tokyo Creative.
Amazing video. Thank you for sharing people and their stories with us, makes the video really impressive.
Great video! Definitely inspires to want to travel to that prefecture. Thank you to all involved.
You guys made everything look absolutely delicious. Thanks for the great vid!
another great show, love the music you are using. seems we get more OkanoTV , TC and Sharla content on this "Journey Across Jap0an" than Chris is putting out, and sooner! Keep it up, giving me great ideas on where to wander to next. Have a great New Years.
Ah... I will be going to study in Kumamoto soon for a year... and this video has helped me feel as though I've made the right choice about Kumamoto. Thank you, hoping the best for your travels.
I love the tempo of this video I feel like I should be in the bath with wine and a decent box of mochi
Love the discussions with the locals!
This has been one of my favorite TC videos! Thanks Chris and Sharla! Kumamoto is definitely one of my top destinations when I go to Japan. :) My favorite part was when you talked with the man selling the dango and he told you his story from the time of the earthquake. Do you know if there is a site where people outside of Japan (I'm in the U.S.) can get legit Kumamon merchandise? He's so cute!! Thanks again!!
Awesome video! Great job Top Tokyo Creativity 😁 🇯🇵
After watching this video it makes me want to visit Kumamoto now 😊 thx guys, I can’t to visit Japan one day
One of my clients has written a lot about the Japanese pilgrimage trails, I am certain it is the sacred places on one of these trails that is represented at the garden. The fast food stall holders were lovely! It really looks like you enjoyed your day.
I was in Kumamoto for a day on my visit through Japan and you are right, the residents there are so much more social. I was all over the country but, only there was I engaged in such a way that they seemed to truly want to know about you or connect with you on such a level. My friends and I remember it fondly.
3:48 - "Let's get eaten!!" -- Chris Okano, 2018
Thanks for doing the videos around Japan. Please keep it up. My wife and I want to return to Japan and love ideas!
19:12 I think the 53 stations on the tokaido-road are the so called _宿 shuku_ and these are places to stay along the road between Edo/Tokyo and Kyoto :)
Very cool video! Loved the interactions too!
Great video, and the food and Sharla looking so delicious
This was such a great video, would love to see more of Japan from you guys :)
Hope everyone reading this has an amazing New Year! 👌
Aww, this brings back memories! I spend time in Hitoyoshi area, to pay homage to the areas inspired in the anime/manga Natsume Yuujinchou. I hope I can travel back in Kumamoto. They have the traditional red train - I think it's a steam locomotive, the supposedly runs only during selective times in autumn. :)
although it's not as beautiful as other cities, Kumamoto's atmosphere is magic! I fell in love with it, it felt like an awesome city to live in
i want to go to Japan so bad☺
Shia LaBeouf be like, "Just do it!"
15:00 the people is those shops are so nice it is amazing
I like the dude you got dumplings/ mochi from!
Love the longer videos!
love these type of videos! I went before it was destroyed, and would love to see it rebuilt in the future :)
Thank you for Kumamoto tour!
That was a really great episode! Very entertaining and interesting!
I hope everything will be rebuilt soon :)
Nice vid. Very relaxing. 👍
💗👏👌 of 🇯🇵👏👏..thanks mate!👍👍👍
I love this whole trip and all the cool history we get to learn...all because chris wants to ride his bike lol
No, i'm not jealous of you all... being able to travel all over this beautiful country eating all these amazing dishes for a living... no, not at all. T_T
Great video as always, i hope i can save up enough to afford a nice long trip over to Japan next year. I'll be sure to visit a lot of the places you guys have been recommending on your channels. ^^
You should do more of those charming videos to show japans streets authenticly. They are good.
Sooo cool! Alley style market is really nice!
What a fun video! I keep noticing these oversized ice cream cone decorations over there. I'm talking like 4 feet tall. What's up? Are those lamps? Wow I would have wanted to interview that man about his experience more in depth. What a great guy. I swear Japan it like Disneyland everywhere for kids with these cartoon characters and product lines. Wow.
fantastic video!!
It's been a while since I started watching Tokyo Creative, but I wasn't subscribed. I just realized you are all very gentle and positive, so here's my late subscription.
Excellent!
This is a great video 👍🏻
