Wow! Really hit it at peak time! We missed it by a few days. We were there for a short stay on 4/16~4/17 of this year. Unfortunately, we never turned the corner to see that stretch of all those amazing food stalls. Thanks for sharing!
I knew you had to be going up north to see the cherry blossoms because my friends said they bloomed in Tokyo in early April this year. The cherry blossom "front" is starting earlier and earlier each year with climate change. The sakura in Aomori were "mankai" (full-bloom) and absolutely spectacular! I used to live next to Inokashira Park in Tokyo, and when the petals fell, there were waves of light pink showers, and the ponds and paths were covered in blankets of pink petals. The sakura in Aomori look like a different variety from the usual ones in Tokyo (little balls), and maybe they last a little longer. The dark pink ones are special, too. By the way, I traveled to Hokkaidō for the snow festival and came back to Tokyo through Aomori by regular train, and I donʻt recommend it for people from warm places like Hawaiʻi unless you want to really see the Snow Country of Japan or youʻre just going to zip through on the Shinkansen. Dealing with the heavy snow on train platforms, roads, around buildings, etc. (The snow can pile up to the second floor of homes!) is ʻtaihen." I visited the Tōhoku region and Hokkaidō in the summer, too, but it looks like you went in just the right season. Thereʻs nothing like matsuri street food in Japan! Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience!
It was an absolute highlight and magical day on the trip and a beloved memory for sure! We’ve always wondered about the Shinkansen going from Hokkaido to Tohoku 🤔 the thought of going underwater kinda scares me though 😰 lol we would love to one day see the Yuki matsuri in Hokkaido too!
@@AmandaFelixEats When I was there, the tunnel to Hokkaidō hadnʻt been built, so we had to take the ferry. The ride to Kushiro in 2nd class steerage on bare floors (we were poor students) was overnight through rough seas, and almost everyone got seasick. The ferry back to Honshu was OK, but took several hours and a couple of my friends still got seasick. I think the convenience of the Shinkansen is worth it. You definitely should go to the Yuki Matsuri someday, but I hear they also have problems with climate change, and recently there have even been times when it wasnʻt cold enough or enough snow to keep the ice sculptures on display.
Thanks for the entertainment. Today in Okinawa it's cloudy, cold and very windy. I'm bing watching your work/travel/food and just at peace. Again thak you for all you do and the hard work.
Looks like you two are really enjoying yourselves. It's amazing that other Hawaii youtubers I follow are or recently in Japan currently. Not to mention the continental YT'ers that are also currently in Japan, too. Enjoy yourselves and I look forward to seeing more!
Amanda's confidence in Felix..."we should have hired a photographer."🤣 Cherry blossoms are now on my bucket list! You must have heard me, I'm yelling at my screen to dip the crab stick into the crab shell! Felix and I think alike.😂 All that good looking street food, I am drooling!
So beautiful all the different Sakura! And the food...omg. I'm dying for some okonomiyaki with plenty sauce and I want some of those huge Sakura mochis. The ones at Minamoto Kitchoan are so tiny in comparison! My mouth watered when you bit into it. Looked so ono! Thanks for an episode filled with food AND beauty! Loving your travel blog 😊
Thank goodness that Amanda speaks fluent Japanese… Felix does ok..👍🏻 I am glad you are taking us along on your adventures in Japan… I live near DC and go there to see the cherry blossoms.. but, nothing compares to what you are seeing… Enjoy and be safe 🤙🏼
Wow, that was truly magical! I think that's the way to see cherry blossoms -- it didn't seem as if the crowds were as crazy as some I've seen. Making note of that for when I finally go during cherry blossom time back to Japan. And OMG the okonomiyaki with the yakisoba, and all of those other street foods looked AMAZING! 😋
Aloha Amanda and Felix I had to quickly post a comment to say thank you for sharing your travels with us, they are absolutely the best! I hope to see more of these videos of future travels on here. Keep up the great work you both do 🥰🤙
Perfect timing on your trip! So beautiful! The petals have just started falling and the trees are in full bloom. Have a great trip and can’t wait for more reveals of your adventures!
You 2 were so lucky to be able to enjoy cherry blossom season!! One day, I hope to see it also! Look forward to watching the rest of you Japan series videos! Have an awesome time!
The first time I went to Japan it was Golden Week, I was going for work and my Site Manager told me to take a Tuesday and go to Hirosaki Castle for the Cherry Blossoms. It was amazing. Across the street is Tanaka Lacquer where they still lacquer by hand and you can watch in the windows. So much fun. I love seeing it through everyone's eyes.
Cherry blossoms 🌸 are so beautiful! Japan is just gorgeous I would love to go there one day to experience all the food and beautiful of the country. So pretty 😍
Stunningly beautiful..so happy for you guys, it might sound silly, was there alot of bees? I would love to see the flowers in person, allergic to bees...🌸🐝
Amanda & Felix, Love it! Thats Japan & everything is so awesome. Such a beautiful place & the food looks so ono... Those Mochi Mochi fries would be a big hit in Hawaii. Enjoy your stay & thank you for sharing. You should make this an annual event and bring a foodie ohana tour along. Can't get enough of this series. Big time likes, Foodie Ohana gang...hit the like button! :-0)
Right after the red bridge at min 17:21, I had a sense of having lived on that riverbank in another lifetime. Very intriguing. I agree Felix, I would camp out there too under the Sakura trees. Thanks for taking us along.
0:18 Aomori, Japan is the snowiest city in the world. It gets an average of 312 inches, or 26 feet, of snow per year. The city gets so much snow because parts of the city are at least 5,000 feet up.

Mahalo! 🤙
What? Konnyaku on a stick?! What an awesome video!!
Crazy right! It was so good!
WOW it looks like you guys had a magical day! Wish I could have been there! 😊🤙🏾
You would've loved it here! We didn't want to leave! 😩
So pretty. The Sakura looks darker pink. In Fukuoka in April the Sakura we saw were more pale pink.
There were different types at the castle, we saw some of the lighter ones as well 👍
SAKURA Foodie Ohana! How beautiful. You guys looked so happy. That makes me happy for you both! 🤙🏽🍒🌸🗻
It was a magical day! Mahalo Armando! 🥰🤙
Stunningly beautiful..so happy for you guys, it might sound silly, was there alot of bees? I would love to see the flowers in person, allergic to bees...🌸🐝
There were a normal amount! It didn’t seem like more than any other garden in the spring😜
Wow so nice!!
We travel to Japan at least once a year and only once we seen the cherry Blossoms
Next trip for sure!
😂😂I had to rewind it several times just to see your face when Felix dropped that Mochi Mochi Fry 😂😂
Did he get scoldings? 😂😂
You know that! Almost lickins too 😂
Now you have to go to Koyto to see the fall colors in late November.
That'd be a dream!
Yay 🎉 aloha foodie fam!
Did your sister go too?
Ha never mind it's your friend them. I seen them at the joy Ride movie screening at ward.
Mahalo Louis! 🤙🏻🌸🤙🏻🌸
Love the Japan travel videos so far! I’m curious as to why the mochi mochi fries were so long. Are potatoes bigger there?
We were wondering the same thing!? 🤔
I need to go there next year.
Definitely! It's so breath taking!
3:24 i was waiting for ninjas to drop down from the trees.
😂😂 feels very historic vibes🌸
JEALOUS!
🙏🤙
Amanda & Felix, Love it! Thats Japan & everything is so awesome. Such a beautiful place & the food looks so ono... Those Mochi Mochi fries would be a big hit in Hawaii.

#1. Happy Aloha Monday!
Mahalo Walt🤙🏻🌸🤙🏻🌸
Right after the red bridge at min 17:21, I had a sense of having lived on that riverbank in another lifetime. Very intriguing. I agree Felix, I would camp out there too under the Sakura trees. Thanks for taking us along.
It really feels like you've been transported back in time here!
I didn’t see Amanda try the crab miso in the shell?!?
She tried it off camera 😅
Are you there right now? Very cool 👍
We’re back home already Dennis! 🌸🙌🏼
When we're you there? April?
😂 AWSOME-SAKURA😊
So beautiful! 🥰
😊This is so cool. Thanks for sharing Aloha from chadsshow
Mahalo for watching! 🤙
Have a great time there.
👍🏽🌸🌸
Hi what date was this trip?thanks!
4/28 👍
I vote moving to Japan. Housing is much cheaper then Hawaii lol.
I wish we could live there🌸🤙🏻
🥰
❤️🌸🤙
does the blossoms have fruit after the bloom?
I believe they do.. it looks kinda like cherries but I don't think people eat them 🤔
13:58 for the life of me I cannot remember what this was called, do y’all remember?
What are the temperatures like?
It was around 50s to mid 60s!
When was this filmed?
Earlier this month 👍
@Amanda & Felix Eats Cool. Conversely I can also recommend early sakura or sakura and fall foliage together.
Can you add the cost with each dish 😅
What a great place to visit. You guys are obviously not on a tour, so who speaks & reads Japanese so you can get around on your own?.
Amanda speaks and reads! 🤙
0:18 Aomori, Japan is the snowiest city in the world.
It gets an average of 312 inches, or 26 feet, of snow per year. The city gets so much snow because parts of the city are at least 5,000 feet up.
So beautiful-both the views and the food! Wow!
It was magical and breath taking! Definitely worth the journey! 🙏🤙
