eekk!!! I packed this episode with a lot of fun facts and information, and a few things that are good to do, even as a foreigner while visiting shrines! Also.. SETSUBUN! I hope I did it justice explaining what happened.. we were laughing so hard, I can't wait to go back to Hofu, Japan!
Omg laughed so hard at the casting of the demon part! Loved it looking forward to visiting Hofu one day and that beautiful temple! Can’t believe is over 1,000 years old 😱 being from the states is hard to imagine something being that old. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us to travel more! 💕
When I looked it up before going my mind was like *col, cool* but couldn't really register it. It's so incredible to know you walk the same lands as so many people have before!
i seriously can’t stress this enough, i’ve been here since day one and you have grown so much. from ur video editing, to youtube ideas, to camera quality, i love everything so much. i’m so grateful to experience japan with you through your videos! がんばって！❤️
yesssssssssssss!!! Okay so I CRUSHED the sugar coated Mochi (mocchan dango Mochi)... did you try the funwari Mochi puffs 🤩🤩🤩🤩 they turned the Mochi into like air crisps - the texture is so cool!!
Hello. It is a tourist association in Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Thank you for visiting Hofu City. And thank you for making a great video! Please drop in at the tourist association the next time you visit Hofu City. I would be happy if I could introduce you to recommended sightseeing spots.
The hanging Ume blossoms bring me so much joy and that’s just through a screen. I can’t imagine in person😍 I can’t wait to go to Japan and discover all the beauty it has to offer.
Please keep expanding this style! I love love love the history Bits. Almost as much as I love your group dynamic. Its so wholesome to see the genuine excitement you all have for the world you are exploring ❤️
I have been following you for a year now. Love how your style grew. The quality of your videos, the bits of history/explanation I really appreciate it. Stay safe xx
Can I tell you how excited I was to see this new upload 🤩 I love this style: the overview really primed me to know what to expect, the cinematic shots get better and better and the fun facts are MY PERSONAL FAVE I LOVE FUN FACTS (is that very Gemini of me??) anyway thank you for sharing your trip with us!! loved this video a lot especially your Setsubun Situation HAHA it was so wholesome, and such a genuine interaction!!
You can go to the Meiji shrine in Tokyo and they have the same ceremony for dolls. Walking around and looking at the dolls is very spiritual, you feel the love, the dolls gave and received.
On Setsubun, you can throw beans out from your house even without devils, saying "Oni Wa Soto" or "Devil, get out!" and throw them into your rooms, saying "Fuku Wa Uchi" or "Good Fortune, come in!". And you eat the same amount of beans as your age. This is the Setsubun ceremony.
First time to come across your videos of Japan. I'm looking forward to going back now and watching your previous content! I think you say in the beginning you are traveling 1 hour to Hofu? I am in the stages of buying an old Japanese farmhouse in between Shunan and Hofu to renovate. Looking forward to seeing more of your journeys!
This video is goal! Thank you for sharing, and the shelves with the exposed potteries are fantastic! It would be so nice to get a tour of tour collection of potteries :)
Another beautiful video! I live in Boston and it still cold here... plus we are pretty much still lockdown... so it’s so nice to watch your videos... thank you🥰🥰🥰
A little late to watch but i still love the video! I just wanted to say how beautiful your sakura themed make up looks! It's amazing🤩 Do you remember how i said everything is grey in sweden? Well, it's white now. The snow came back and I'm not happy about that...😥 The shrines looks so beautiful too! I hope my upcoming chemistry, psychic and english test goes well! And the people at the restaurant was so sweet 🥺 sweden could never!
Aaawww that was fun!!! I’ve seen the Setsubun ritual else where in Kimono Mom’s RUclips channel recently and in Terrace House. Looks so much fun!! And I think I’ve been caught on camera by local news teams a bunch of times too here at home 😅
I was going to say how peaceful and awesome the temple looks (and I can't believe it is that old! I can't get my head around those years) but then, the dolls! They look beautiful and everything, but I've seen too many scary movies! 😅😅
@@Christina.Lunaa7 In the video I'll be sharing I'm doing an unboxing.. however I'll definitely discuss what I don't like about it for vlogging!!! I'm also still using my Canon GZx (I look like a crasy person, lol)
Hi Kaitlyn I hope I spell your name right but I came to write you and say love your videos since I watched in my Xbox. I love everything!!! Thank you for bringing a lovely culture that is Japan!! I hope someday visit Japan!!! Thank you for the video and taking your to show my favorita country, thank you!!!!
May I ask what the name of the song you used in this video is called? It’s like where you show the shrine and it has piano in it and it’s kind of sad but inspirational haha. I would like to listen to that song on repeat while I do everything LOL. Thank you. Amazing video as always💓💓🌸🌸

Oh wow! Hofu Japan is this sister city of my hometown
I was seriously laughing (very loudly) at the Setsubun part! So cute, so good and what a good story.
I love this mini series of visiting/exploring. I’m so happy i found you on tik tok some months ago ♥️
AH! I am LIVING for this spring series too! All the pink spring vibes are bringing me back to life after hibernating at home this winter!

I have been following you for a year now. Love how your style grew. The quality of your videos, the bits of history/explanation I really appreciate it. Stay safe xx

Welcome to Tenmangu!! I’m living in there’s around .
Thank you for introducing Tenmangu！
Please take good care of yourself😊
I spotted a snoopy among the dolls.. also, skid-addle .. that word always makes me happy!
You can go to the Meiji shrine in Tokyo and they have the same ceremony for dolls. Walking around and looking at the dolls is very spiritual, you feel the love, the dolls gave and received.
Love that you got you nails done for this partership! So smart!
I love waking up and watching your videos
On Setsubun, you can throw beans out from your house even without devils, saying "Oni Wa Soto" or "Devil, get out!"
and throw them into your rooms, saying "Fuku Wa Uchi" or "Good Fortune, come in!".
And you eat the same amount of beans as your age. This is the Setsubun ceremony.
AH! This is the clarity I needed... I don't regret my time with the demon, but I am really excited to know I can do it without someone in a mask X)

wow nice video, japan is so photogenic. would love to go visit again! i bet kids would love to have those discarded dolls....maybe in needy countries.
Omg this vlog was absolutely adorable. I absolutely loved the ending. it was so so special.
I am living for the color palate of this entire video - so so pretty.
The ending made me laugh! I just love how wholesome and interesting that tradition was for you to experience!
I love your Japan videos! Inspired me to start blogging about our Journey in Japan 🥰

So early! Can’t wait to see all your videos - it’s so cool to see your editing style develop each video. You’re an absolute treasure! 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you Sofia! I think with each video I get better, but it's really cool that you guys notice it too.... but most importantly enjoy all of it!
Love love your videos💛. Could you make a video explaining how to use the app(bokksu)& how payments work is a bit confusing. Thxs
The temple looks gorgeous! I had no idea people weren't supposed to throw away dolls there either. That was really interesting
A little late to watch but i still love the video!

I guess "hanging" is okay, but aren't they usually called "weeping" not "hanging?" For trees like cherries, ume, willows, etc.?
