I've been seeing your videos from a long time now, and I can definitely say that this was one of the best videos you've ever made. Especially when you were halfway to the mountain top.. that view made my heart pound! Literally.
These off the beaten path videos are exactly what I've been looking for! I want to learn more about the places in Japan tourists don't usually see, and these will really give me an idea of where to go myself.
Together with John with Only In Japan, I feel that you are the most honest and lifelike youtuber ever. I feel educated and amazed at the same time. I feel you talk to me instead of to all. That is pretty nice. Continue with what you are doing. Love from Oslo, Norway. Fantastic videos, including this one!
internationally ME Your vlog is such a surprise and inspiration for me - thanks a lot :) May I ask the name of the place of that bamboo forrest and what is the easiest way to get there? We want to visit the sand dunes and that bamboo forrest - would you recommend to stay 1 or 2 nights in tottori? Arigato and merry x-mas :)
@@mouselim72 yes i stayed this mai. Had to ask tourism office to translate the bus timetable..there are only few buses..place was amazing and at the time i visited (for 3 hours) i was the only one tourist. So peaceful 😍
These are exactly the videos about Japan i was looking for. It's like a documentary but shorter and anyway you give us all the info we need. Thank you for the work and the passion you bring to us whith these videos 😍❤️🌲
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down is beyond me!!! I will visit this area in April/18....my Asian wife and I are looking forward to it!! She lives in Tokyo and wants to go, what a beautiful area!! Reminds us of certain areas in western Canada...thank you!!!!
You honestly have an eye for capturing the essence and beauty of all the locations you visit. The view from the lookout at the top of the mountain must have been amazing.... And judging by your looks, a little scary. ;-)
True...I guess it is what all people do actually. Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka as first experience, then try some countryside. Funny thing is that Japanese people themselves say that Tokyo is my Japan and Japan is not Tokyo, as to highlight how big are the differences. Countryside Japan is just breathtaking.
It’s so nice to see someone does vlog of Tottori City area. Most people do Sakai Mknato Daisen Yonago. I grew up in Wasaka until 3rd grade and moved to Tottori City. One of our relatives live in Uradome. We used to go there summer time for beach. One time my uncle drove in and brought up sea urchin. Bring back memories. I had to open my photo albums and see old pictures after watching both of Tottori vlog. Thank you for doing this.
I feel like this video spoke to me!! Those buried train tracks and that building in the mountain are like something out of a fantasy/fairy tale!! It is giving me inspiration for my story!!!!
The great thing that I have thoroughly enjoyed is the way you edit your videos. You keep the focus on the topic matter rather than BE the topic matter. So many RUclipsrs use this media to become a star in their own video and waste a lot of time on themselves. You however give the right balance and shoot the images that is important to your topic. Thank you so much! I really enjoy your vids!
I like local Japanese people's videos more than foreign people's videos about Japan. The perspective is much better. Hope you don't stop making this videos :)
I love watching your videos each night, shortly before bed. They are so beautiful and relaxing, and they make me so happy. Thank you for showing your adventures, for providing such interesting and useful information. You always put a smile on my face. ❤
I just got back from Japan and this is keeping my inspiration alive to come back. it is so wonderful to see you traveling to the places i didn't get to go. i feel like i'm almost there! this is helping me plan my next trip!
Ive been watching your videos nonstop. You are so natural and fun, and you alwayse manage to put together such interesting videos in a short time. usually under 10 minutes. thats great cause you never get bored watching it.
Your perspective is one of a kind, and you offer something to us that is very very valuable. I watch your videos not only to learn about a beautiful country, but also to simply relax and enjoy the sights and sounds. I am especially grateful that you are sharing places that are off the beaten path, because I don't think I would ever have learned about this side of Japan. So, my feedback is to keep doing what you are doing, and continue to show us the places that really speak to you, as this place obviously did :)
I know I should be enjoying the scenery and all. But I can't help but just scan every second and get happy that there is not a single bit of thrash anywhere! God is Japan clean!!
Your video's are excellent. I am learning Japanese by myself and talk to Japanese people to learn about their culture as well. Your video's give me a peek into their culture but also show the beautiful scenery and nice places to go to. I want to go on vacation to Japan with my mother and brother one day. Keep doing the good work.
This is beautiful. It's getting much more beautiful every one of hidden spot in happen video. There hidden spots or less popular tours are like treasures you discoverd. Thanks.
Wow. My jaw literally dropped from your Tottori Video series. It was so amazing; i didnt expect there’s a lot of things you can do and can amaze you in a country side like this. This is my favorite in all of your videos. Keep it up.
I came across your video and found out today that it has been very professionally created. The subtitle is very crystal clear. You are pretty a blessed lady👍👍
Lovely video once again. If i ever visit Japan, going off the beaten path is exactly what I am planning to do, and this video strengthens my belief in doing so is as rewarding as I imagined. Thank you.
You have a gift for film making and a soothing and calming voice, this is why your videos are so great.Tottori is a hidden gem of Japan thanks very much for introducing this beautiful place.
honestly, whenever i get a notification that you uploaded a new video, it makes my day *^* i love all your videos, they're amazing! 日本って、本当にいっぱいあるんだねって改めて思っちゃいます。 動画が相変わらず素敵すぎて、いやされますw
Thanks for visiting my home Kurayoshi. This video reminded me of the time when I took the last train tour of Kurayoshi line with my grandma. Though I was born and brought up there, I have spent more than half of my entire life outside Kurayoshi since I entered a university in Tokyo when I was 18 and now I live in Istanbul, Turkey. There is not so much chance for me to go back home, so this video has helped me a lot to realize again how beautiful my home is.
Enjoyed this video, just your personality makes this video enjoyable, and your childlike reactions when u cut the watermelon, and of course the informative education of the out of the beaten path!
Oh my gosh Angela, what a great video! We are visiting Japan in April for 21 days, and now Tottori will be on our list! Your other videos have also been great, amazing mix of vlogging and great cinematography shots and information. Keep up the good work!
Hi Angela, I am following your channel and watching your videos since some time now, but this is my first comment. You are doing a perfect job. I think that no only me, but all your followers can see how devoted you are to show us not only the interesting side of all places, but also the people and your emotions. Keep up with the good job!
G'day Angela, thanks for posting these videos. We've been to Japan 5 times now and coming back in 2019. Tottori is most definitely on our must go list after watching this video. Love your bubbly infectious narration. Best wishes from NZ
I really like the hiking part. It looks really fun and the view is breathtaking. I appreciate you making these videos. Without them, we would have a difficult time finding out and appreciating the existence of these places. ありがとう!
Both. I like how you chat with the locals to learn about the history and visiting cultural places to immerse yourself in the experience. Something I enjoy doing too. :)
Japanese people are really amazing and one-of-a-kind. I feel no other country's citizens are filled with such passion, such diligence, such life. I understand Japanese society also faces a lot of problems, and I'm not saying it's perfect. But, it's really distinctive. One you could easily pick out from a hundred other countries and peoples.
Love, love your videos. I can't wait to go to Japan to visit some of the places you've mentioned in your videos. Thank you so much for your hard work to share this beautiful country and beautiful people with the rest of the world.
Thank you. This is a beautiful place and I would like to see it someday. Wonderful, I hope your doing well and continue to find more intriguing, beautiful and enlightening natural places in Japan.
Awsome! I like these videos that shows the beautiful nature and sort of traditional Japan. Nice to see something that is different from the busy cities.
Bravo Angela. Another great Japanese cultural and human video like the Countryside Homestay video you did. You are becoming a great Docu-Cultural Filmmaker with video that can evoke emotions for the culture and people of Japan. Good job!
Hi Angela! I've been a silent fan of yours for quite a while now. I love these off the beaten path series. My husband and I have been to Japan twice now, and watching your videos makes us want to go back to Japan again and again to experience the quieter, less touristy areas.
It was an amazing video !!!! what i liked the most is hiking and amazing view on the mountains from the temple!!! You are amazing, please keep doing this kind of trips and show us unusual place!!!! thank you!!!
I've been seeing your videos from a long time now, and I can definitely say that this was one of the best videos you've ever made. Especially when you were halfway to the mountain top.. that view made my heart pound! Literally.
When I first turned the corner, the view made my heart pound too! I'm so glad I didn't drop my camera :P
These off the beaten path videos are exactly what I've been looking for! I want to learn more about the places in Japan tourists don't usually see, and these will really give me an idea of where to go myself.
So beautiful areas. you're so positive☺.
Life is too short not to be happy :)
I do fell the same. ☺
Angela is the best. I love when she wear Kimono, so adorable!
Very sexy also!!! Just my opinion!!
Japans nature is stunning!
It is really nice to see places not commonly advertised! Japan has many great places to see. One day I will go to see them :3
I hope you can come one day! SOON! :)
So stunning! Ill have to visit here. 😍
Sorry, how did you get here?
Together with John with Only In Japan, I feel that you are the most honest and lifelike youtuber ever. I feel educated and amazed at the same time. I feel you talk to me instead of to all. That is pretty nice. Continue with what you are doing. Love from Oslo, Norway. Fantastic videos, including this one!
Aww thank you for the kind words! I'm so happy you can enjoy my videos :)
i totally 100% agree! so natural and comfortable and real! Keep doing this!
Wow, bamboos along train tracks!
It was quite a sight :)
internationally ME
Your vlog is such a surprise and inspiration for me - thanks a lot :)

@@Maidu17 did u find the bamboo forest along the train track? I'll be in Tottori in a week from now 😄
@@mouselim72 yes i stayed this mai. Had to ask tourism office to translate the bus timetable..there are only few buses..place was amazing and at the time i visited (for 3 hours) i was the only one tourist. So peaceful 😍
it’s been 4 years and i’m still watching this before sleeping
Really? haha I didn't know my videos were good to watch before sleep 😆
@@internationallyME it’s peaceful haha
These are exactly the videos about Japan i was looking for. It's like a documentary but shorter and anyway you give us all the info we need. Thank you for the work and the passion you bring to us whith these videos 😍❤️🌲
My reason why i like your travel vlog, because in your video you show the respect to local People and local culture
Japan is the most beautiful country and has the most beautiful and interesting culture in the world. Love everything about it.
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down is beyond me!!! I will visit this area in April/18....my Asian wife and I are looking forward to it!! She lives in Tokyo and wants to go, what a beautiful area!! Reminds us of certain areas in western Canada...thank you!!!!

Haha my legs were a little bit wobbling XD
Am I the only one that became emotional and teary at the start? I love to travel..I miss Japan.
My husband and I have decided to visit Tottori because of your amazing videos. Thank you so much!
The first time I was in japan I visited all the heavily populated and touristy cities, this is just what I was looking for my second trip
True...I guess it is what all people do actually.
Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka as first experience, then try some countryside.
Funny thing is that Japanese people themselves say that Tokyo is my Japan and Japan is not Tokyo, as to highlight how big are the differences.
Countryside Japan is just breathtaking.
What I like from those two video is the feeling of peacefulness and genuineness.
Angela looks amazing in Kimono.
Aw thanks!
Amazing. I am loving theses Off the Beaten Path episodes. Your productions are getting better every episode.

My Japanese teacher and I love your off the beaten path videos and I really want to visit Tottori now!!!!
I love the bits of culture, history and legend

Thank you sharing such beautiful places! Its always good to see the the areas which are less touristy to get a real feel of Japan. Stunning!
This video truly justify Japan countryside. I searched the word and it lead me to here. Thank you ❤

You guys captured the beauty of Tottori very well.
Amazing!!! Born and raised in Tokyo, never had a chance to explore the country. I must really go and visit!! Thanks for the tips!! Amazing!!

Yurihama in Tottori Prefecture has some amazing views. Togo Lake is Beautiful.

I love how the videos feel like mini documentaries.
So glad you got a chance to go to Mnt. Daisen. Told you it was a beautiful place in the last video.
Japan is a fabulous place. I'll try to visit it ASAP 😊.
You should! Bring your camera to take a lot of pictures/ video👍🙂
What I liked about the video? EVERYTHING
I really like the hiking part. It looks really fun and the view is breathtaking. I appreciate you making these videos. Without them, we would have a difficult time finding out and appreciating the existence of these places. ありがとう!
Thank you for the kind words :) The hiking part was probably my favourite or the bike ride!
And here I didn't think I could love your videos anymore. Amazing.
Thanks so much Andrew 😭😭 You're too kind!
It's very true!
I like how you try to make a cultural connection on your travels.
You mean by talking to the locals or visiting cultural areas? :)
Both. I like how you chat with the locals to learn about the history and visiting cultural places to immerse yourself in the experience. Something I enjoy doing too. :)
Totally agree with your definition of travel! Thankyou for your inspirational videos.
Thank you so much for making these videos!! Now I found a place to go that is not so touristy and enjoy the scenery!
The train track with bamboo along was a lovely sight.
Your voice is so soothing and sweet. Thanks for the lovely videos.

Keep up with the good work.
Hope to see more of Japan this upcoming fall.
がんばてね !
I love watching youtubers blow up so much. You have gained like 10x your subscribers since I was japan in early 2017. So cool
Rural Japan is so damn beautiful. I don't know but so much feels like home and I haven't even been to Japan once.
love the view on the trail at the defunk train station.
"Waraji" sounds a lot like "huarache": Mexican traditional sandal. So interesting!
It was an amazing video !!!! what i liked the most is hiking and amazing view on the mountains from the temple!!! You are amazing, please keep doing this kind of trips and show us unusual place!!!! thank you!!!
Things like this is what I love most about living in Japan...Thank you so much for making this beautiful video.
this place is gorgeous, hope you do similar videos for other prefectures too. Cant wait
Japan is a most beautiful place in this world
Love these off beaten path videos. Will coerce my friends to go on our next trip to Japan.
