Thank you for visiting Shiga! I've been living here since March and honestly it's the best place. People are so lovely and friendly, and the local food is so delicious! Also the mountains are beautiful no matter the weather :D
I really appreciate your interactions with the people you meet in all of the places you go! You do a really great job showcasing their lives and passions and character (as much as one can from brief meetings/interactions/trips)!
Otsu is just one train stop away from my former home for a year, Yamashina, Kyoto. :( You made me miss Kansai so bad. I visited Otsu, Kusatsu, and Hikone in Shiga while I was living in Kyoto, but I never got to do anything summer-y at Lake Biwa. 😂 You're such a friendly person; I enjoyed this video a lot! ☺️
It's nice to see that you make videos again, I've watched your videos for about 8 years now and i hope you know how many appreciate your efforts. You're a great content creator and I hope to watch you many years more.
Because of videos like this, my wife and i are getting more and more interested in visiting Japan (probably in two or three years). The people you featured in your video were very interesting. Well done on the video!
Holy poo. I loved everything about this video?!?!?! The grandmother (so sweet!), the roofing company (how cool was that man with the nails in his mouth!!!???), the temples... Not to mention that your footage is just fantastic. Definitely putting this on my list of places to visit! Thank you for the wonderful video!
As if I needed more reasons to return to Shiga prefecture! Wow wow wow.. even with the rain, the scenery was fantastic! Looks like you had a wonderful time! ❤
It's nice to see you're back! The people in Shiga-ken are so warm and welcoming. I'd love to visit this prefecture one day. Thanks for taking us along on your trip!
Sounds I made while watching: Awwwwwww: dogs make me smile Whoa!: Tapanaki looked out of this world Oh wow: hotel room was chic Hmm?: Curious about that juice This trip looked like a great time. :)
Such a great video MIcaela. I really like to know new cultures and it was awesome to know more about the Japanese culture. Keep up with the good work :)
Thank you for visiting and introducing Shiga! I miss there! (It's my grandpa's town😭) When I was in Japan, the view of Lake Biwa made me always happy ..! 💕I hope you'll be back to Shiga near future!
favourite line: "I might just sleep on the beds horizontally--just because." made me laugh :) this video was so cozy (probably due to the rainy weather) and that nice ol' granny was so heartwarming
Awesome video Caela. Now I really want to check out Shiga Prefecture and Lake Biwa when I return to Japan, hopefully in the near future. Your videos get better and better, keep up the awesome work ;-)
Amazing video to watch, happy after watching your content as it's great stuff as always 👌 I'm currently planning a tourism trip around Japan before I go to a university there so what great timing to see this wonderful place! Definitely adding it to the list of potential places to visit! ♥️
I love hearing they have a Dog-Friendly Cafe! I wonder if there's an especially dog-friendly city that would make a collaboration video and show us how to travel with dogs @_@.
I feel like in Japan there's two types of "dogs". Lots of places that claim to be "dog friendly" really only mean "smol puppers" and when you bring something like a Shiba or Golden Retriever along they're like "oh heck."
There's a store near where I live in Tokyo that sells products made in Shiga Prefecture, and they always taste really good! It was fun seeing the place they came from :)
I love this video, so beautiful! Thank you Micaela :D I'm surprised to see teppanyaki. I've tried it in Australia where they claimed it was a Japanese thing, but then I watched a video by Rachel and Jun where they said teppanyaki was just a fusion/western thing that didn't really exist in Japan :o
+Ostekagerne8D It exists, but it's a very high class meal and not really something that people in our age range (20-30) would frequent. Also it's possible that Nagoya isn't famous for their beef so they are less likely to have high class beef restaurants around? I've learned over the years that it's hard to make broad observations about Japan based on what you know, since every area of Japan is slightly different. I've only been to Teppanyaki about 3 times in my life though. It's really a luxury for those with money for special occasions :)
+Shin Kansen unfortunately my schedule was packed and as long as nobody wants to pay for an extra cameraman to come with me I can only shoot so much while also speaking to people and learning what they have to say... i carry two cameras but I have a hard time using them to my full ability. These days I'd like to make better content but it's really hard when it's just me in the field.
Yeah I understand. I meant it as generic comment about all j-logs not panning enough and showing the atmosphere around. Maybe it has to do with trying not to upset the locals. I don't know if there are any restrictions or cultural taboos. But you do a great job just by yourself. I can see that's a hard skill, takes years to master and become fluent.
日本のステキな場所は外国人がよく行く東京･大阪･京都や、
以前紹介してくれてた福岡ばかりじゃないぞ。って事を伝えてくれてありがとう
初めまして。
滋賀のものですが、大津は奥深いですね。
同じ県内たけど、また違った文化がありますね。
ご紹介していただき、ありがとうございます。
しそジュース🥤は、はとこのおばあ様に初めていただきましたが、美味しいですよね。
ビタミンたっぷりですもんね。
Thank you for visiting Shiga! I've been living here since March and honestly it's the best place. People are so lovely and friendly, and the local food is so delicious! Also the mountains are beautiful no matter the weather :D
The Japanese grandma seemed so sweet :) And I am so jealous of that beef!
滋賀にゃばあちゃんちがあるが、田舎ながら言葉も含めて滋賀が好きだ。日本のええところというものは、何も観光地にだけあるもんやないということを、紹介してくれてありがとう。ぜひ、楽しんでください
Your videos are like pro documentaries/movies. Amazing! ❤️
My camerawork is still way too shaky! You're too kind! I love you!
It doesn't matter how many videos are uploaded. I just appreciate every single one anyway.
ずっと滋賀県民けど
こうやって見るとええとこやなって思った！
滋賀県来てくれてありがとう！
I really appreciate your interactions with the people you meet in all of the places you go! You do a really great job showcasing their lives and passions and character (as much as one can from brief meetings/interactions/trips)!

I really love Shiga prefecture, especially Biwako. It's such a calm place, you can really relax and recharge there.
Cool video. The woman you ate lunch with seemed so nice. Thanks for taking us with you on your travels

Oh wow: hotel room was chic
Hmm?: Curious about that juice
This trip looked like a great time. :)
Ahhh! You uploaded!! Wow it's really pretty there and the people seem so incredibly nice, humble and welcoming.
Your new gran ma looks so cool haha thks for that moment 🙏🏼
ミカエラさん、昔から全然変わってない美しさと可愛らしさがありますね。コロナが収束したら琵琶湖に旅行してみようかな。
Shiga is so underrated. Lived there for half a year and it was a blast.
Wonderful glad to see you filming again!
This was great! Love the farm to table/ nature vibe going on there :)
Great video, the roofing looked very cool.
At 3.45 that was kind of funny. Enjoyed the video. I've lived in Shiga for many years. It is indeed a beautiful place.
Amazing video, the food, the sights, the hospitality of the Japanese people. Big thumbs up!
You are an artist Micaela! Thanks for posting (: so beautiful!
I do love to see you smile Micaela, makes me smile.
You have such a beautiful energy about you. I really like your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing! This place looks absolutely beautiful! I seriously want one of those bicycles!!
Me too! I hear they're a pain when the battery dies though!
I was born in Shiga Otsu. Thank you so much . I missed there...
Such a lovely place. Thank you for sharing this with us.
that dinner, tho! wow!..and didn't know about that lake area..so beautiful, looks like there's a lot of fun to be had there - thanks for the intro. 👍👍
Had been living for 1 year in Seta, Shiga. Missed the place so much. Walking down the memory lane.
Such a great video MIcaela. I really like to know new cultures and it was awesome to know more about the Japanese culture. Keep up with the good work :)
Wow I love it. Such a treat to watch ur video. And Japan is Awesome.
Wow I missed you, great video Micaela!
I'm glad you enjoyed that trip.
Thank you for visiting and introducing Shiga! I miss there! (It's my grandpa's town😭) When I was in Japan, the view of Lake Biwa made me always happy ..! 💕I hope you'll be back to Shiga near future!
Thank you for the beautiful video, and the music is just perfect! I wish I could put 10 thumbs-up for it
I just love how everyone is so welcoming :) shame the weather wasn’t so great on the second day. Looks like such a peaceful place though
favourite line: "I might just sleep on the beds horizontally--just because." made me laugh :)
this video was so cozy (probably due to the rainy weather) and that nice ol' granny was so heartwarming
Welcome back, Micaela! Cannot wait for more videos
Amazing video, I love it! Thanks for your hard work filming everything and showing us around
I miss this country coz I've been thr 18 years ago and its so beautiful place wish I could come again....
お久しぶりです！ 動画楽しみにしてました！
Loved it! Please do more of these if you get the chance! (And if you want to, of course!)
Awww omg I live in Otsu !!! I wish I could’ve seen you somewhere! Well I’m glad you had a good time here!
久しぶりで嬉しい…( ´ⅴ｀)
Omg! Keiko is awesome! I had her for a mochi tour! I knew I recognized that voice!
Awesome video Caela. Now I really want to check out Shiga Prefecture and Lake Biwa when I return to Japan, hopefully in the near future. Your videos get better and better, keep up the awesome work ;-)
Thank you for being so encouraging!
Spectacular!! Otsu is now on my (very long) list of places in Japanese that I must visit :D
Yay🙏 Thank you for the video!!! I miss them soooo much!!!! 😊
Sorry for the wait! I got busy! Hopefully more videos soon! We have a lot to catch up on.
I am so putting this on my "I must visit" list!!! wow!!!
Wow it was nice to see Lake Biwa. Hope to make it to Shiga and Hikone one day :)
Exploring Japan with you is my absolute favorite thing! 😍✨ Lovely video Micaela! 😘 Have a great weekend! XO
I went there about 10 years ago. Great trip.
mikaela, you're getting better at presenting your videos, I really love this one 😍
Hey, you’re back☺️!I’ve missed your videos! Btw, shiga looks super nice!
Amazing video to watch, happy after watching your content as it's great stuff as always 👌 I'm currently planning a tourism trip around Japan before I go to a university there so what great timing to see this wonderful place! Definitely adding it to the list of potential places to visit! ♥️
What an awesome vid. Amazing colours.
micaela great! next i want you go to omihachiman and hikone, so beautiful place
I hope to have the placer to visit this place some day it looks really pretty
This is such a beautiful place!

久しぶりの動画で体調でも崩していたのかと思ってましたがお元気そうで安心しました
なんとか元気にしていますよー！
Omg I’m soo happy to see this! My home town is actually in Shiga:)
近江牛なんて高級で、日本人でさえめったに食べられないご馳走ですね、おいしそう～ !! 大津市って行ったことなかったけど、シャーラの動画を見てちょっと行きたくなり、ミカエラの動画を見てますます行きたくなりました。
I was relieved so I was relieved.
I love hearing they have a Dog-Friendly Cafe! I wonder if there's an especially dog-friendly city that would make a collaboration video and show us how to travel with dogs @_@.
I feel like in Japan there's two types of "dogs". Lots of places that claim to be "dog friendly" really only mean "smol puppers" and when you bring something like a Shiba or Golden Retriever along they're like "oh heck."
Enjoyed this. Impressed by your Japanese.
謙遜含め、日本特有のコミュケーションがとてもお上手
At my high school a couple years ago we had an exchange program to go to shiga. Sadly I couldn’t go but thanks for showing “us” around there lol!
There's a store near where I live in Tokyo that sells products made in Shiga Prefecture, and they always taste really good! It was fun seeing the place they came from :)
Shiga Prefecture is next to Kyoto. It is a very quiet area.
very nice video amazing scenery love it thanks 💓 💗 💖
Thanks for the video!
I don't know if it's the scenery or what...but you look damn gorgeous!! So glad to see a video from you!! Looking forward to more!! ^____^
見ててすげー癒された☺
カメラも買ったことだし行ってみよかなー
体調心配してました。色々あったのかもしれない。でも、それも乗り越えて、今が元気そうで安心しました。
Some times your videos are good way to learn about Japan even for me Japanese.
I don't eat meat often BUT that beef looks absolutely unreal!! Wow. From a cook's perspective it looks like a dream.
+Zilla it was really good! But you don't need a huge slice, it can feel a little heavy if you overeat!
I love this video, so beautiful! Thank you Micaela :D I'm surprised to see teppanyaki. I've tried it in Australia where they claimed it was a Japanese thing, but then I watched a video by Rachel and Jun where they said teppanyaki was just a fusion/western thing that didn't really exist in Japan :o

I've only been to Teppanyaki about 3 times in my life though. It's really a luxury for those with money for special occasions :)
We could have used a few more shots of the countryside, the streets, the people, and the mountains. Seems like a nice place to visit on a holiday.
+Shin Kansen unfortunately my schedule was packed and as long as nobody wants to pay for an extra cameraman to come with me I can only shoot so much while also speaking to people and learning what they have to say... i carry two cameras but I have a hard time using them to my full ability.

Wow the view from your balcony!!
Yeah! It was so nice!
