It's impossible not to be moved by visiting places where we are reminded of both the terrible things we can do to each other, and the ability of humans to recover, renew and rebuild. Travel gives us a deeper understanding of the depth of the human experience and we are so fortunate to live in a time where not only is travel relatively easy, but even when we can't travel ourselves, we can go along with people like yourselves.

きれいな映像でした。広島を紹介されるのに、原爆ドームからはじめておられる２人に尊敬の念をもちました。素晴らしいお好み焼き、世界遺産厳島神社をを目指して、たくさんの外国の方に広島を訪れてもらいたいです。

日本に来てくれて有難う　ステキな思い出いっぱい作ってね。 Thank you for coming to Japan. Make lots of wonderful memories.

Miyajimi is magical. Taking the hiking trail up is definitely the best way to go. Good for you, even if you had to walk down in the dark! There are 3 well maintained trails up to the top of Mt. Misen. They are all worth hiking, as they are each different. I've even hiked a non well-maintained trail up in addition to those 3. Mt. Misen/Miyajima might be my favorite place in all ofJapan. Thanks for reminding me how beautiful it is. I can't wait to return.

Japan is such a peaceful place - full of beauty and peaceful people. Thinking about Hiroshima always gets me all choked up. ☮️

Thank you for coming to Japan and visiting Hiroshima🇯🇵

Wow...as a Veteran myself it really hit the heart and got me all emotionally teared up. I am pretty speechless now but I pray for everyone who lost their lives and everyone who got effected by this war. Thank you for sharing this.

So glad you got to see Miyajima Island it is beautiful. It was raining on and off when I went there, still loved it. Okonomiyaki is one of my favourite Japanese meals. Hiroshima is beautiful but haunting. So many Westerners are distraught when they visit because the terrible atomic bomb, but like Tia said, the Japanese people in Hiroshima are so happy and lively.

Good for you for taking time with family as opposed to making content. Don’t apologize for making those memories👍😉

Cool thanks. I remember this place very well and the memory comes back to my mind time to time especially the view with small islands from the top of the mountain in Miyajima. As you guys said it is worth visiting as well as the shrine definitely. We stayed in a hotel in Miyajima, also my vivid memory still. Enjoy the rest of your JP trip!!

Hi, guys!!! Come Hiroshima witness piece of history that wonderful. Thanks.

Great video!! I hope you guys have a happy and good trip!

Yay! Postcard! Just got back in town and watched the video!

素晴らしい広島の体験をありがとう。「一瞬で全てが蒸発したかのように消え去った」地が復興した様子は、紛争の中にある人々への励みになると感じました。 山頂からの夕陽は素晴らしいですね！瀬戸内海の1000の島々は、日本で最初の国立公園です。観光地であっても、できる限り野生動物の生態系への配慮を優先するのは、大事です。真っ暗だったけど、無事で良かった🎵

You two continue to be adorable. Happy holidays!

Bill can eat ice cream in cold weather, too! (anytime is a great time for ice cream, he says 😂) Can't believe you climbed all the way up Miyajima! We did the rope way. And that okonomiyaki looked delicious!

I found the visit to Hiroshima very emotional too. A beautifully done memorial.

Almost there ❤Loving your videos!!!! Thank you so much for doing this!! Have a blast 🎉

Thanks, guys, great video, really enjoyed sunset views!

Thank you for all the great suggestions! This has given me a lot of great ideas for my trip next month 😄 Those pancakes... Mmmm 😊

My parents took us and our then 11-year old son to Hiroshima and Miyajima on our 2014 trip. When we arrived at Miyajima, the tide was in. After exploring, my wife and I walked up the hill while our son stayed with my parents. When we came back down, the tide had gone out and we walked out to the gate. It was quite the contrast. If you had caught the tide out, the Tia for scale would've shown how massive that gate is. If you pass through Beppu on Kyushu, the Takasakiyama Monkey Park is an absolute must see. The monkeys are not managed. The humans let the monkeys keep to themselves. There are hourly grain feedings. The twice a day sweet potato feedings are an amazing site. It is said that if a monkey walks through your legs, you will have good luck. Keep your belongings secure, as they'll try to take anything that they think is valuable. My mom had a monkey sneak a hand in her pocket and try to take something. Looking forward to the journey south. I didn't realize Japan extended that far below Kyushu. I love the content, video editing, and music selection. Safe travels!

Thanks for posting the Hiroshima and Miyajima trip! As always, I love your videos!

Tia's favorite food and Cheveyo describes it as "a pancake made with cabbage." Way to downplay...🤣 Tori gate...Tia for scale.🏊‍♀️😁. Actually at low tide you can walk out to the gate as it is high and dry. The sand is still wet.

So beautiful and emotional ❤ Thank you for sharing

Planning for this. Didn’t realize the jr pass covered the ferry. Great tip!

This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

Just binge watching the OPW back catalogue ...a fantastic series 1st call will be Japan!!!! 👏👏👏

Absolutely loved it

That beginning reminds me why I believe the citizens and governments of the USA should stop their favourite game, the military industrial complex. I still love your videos and the cinematography seems to be continually improving. The onomoyaki looks delicious!

広島の悲しみに心を寄せていただいて、ありがとうございます。 惨禍を乗り越え、美しく復興した、平和な広島を楽しんでください。 もし広島滞在の時間があれば、尾道としまなみ海道をサイクリングするのもステキですよ。 もし

Wonderful video! We are planning to visit Japan for the first time in May with Hiroshima and Miyajima (overnight) on the schedule. Going to areas where my parents were raised. Should be fun and your shared experience will help us. Can't wait to experience the culture of my parents and grandparents.

You two are the sweetest KZfaqrs, i hope peoples get that and u get millions of subscribers

Thank you for introducing interesting places in Hiroshima here and there. The torii gate Of Miyajima has been cieaned after a major repair work over three years. If possible, you can go directly below the torii if you take into consideration the sea level. Have a nice day Good luck.

always enjoy, beautiful scenery.. enjoy your next adventure

すばらしい夕日の景観だと思います。入江と山と街を望む日本の原風景です。広島は悲しい歴史があるけれど美しいところです。 広島焼もおいしいですよね。たくさん召し上がってください。

Love your series on Japan !

Thank you for visiting Hiroshima. Happy to know you like Okonomiyaki!

Okonomiyaki sauce is called okonomiyaki sauce, like takoyaki is takoyaki sauce and yakisoba is yakisoba sauce. Made specifically for each.

The water recedes around the torii gate at a certain time of the day that people can walk right next to it. It would've been great for a TIA for scale.

welcome to japan! her smiles make me happy

That looks like really good Okonomyaki. When we were at the gate the tide was out so that we could go right up to it.

The view of the Seto Inland Sea from the mountains of Miyajima. It was the same as the evening view I visited when I was a student more than 20 years ago. Thanks for reminding me.

Absolutely beautiful videos, okonomiyaki is soooo delicious.

Perhaps you can share your experience in enjoying traveling in low crime countries like Singapore and Japan where people do not own guns and assault weapons.

Okonomiyaki comes in two major styles: Ōsaka (lighter, no noodles) and Hiroshima (larger, noodles). For me personally they’re both delicious but Hiroshima has an edge. You chose a great place to eat. The people of Hiroshima have a warmth about them that really makes the city feel homely.

Thank you to visit Hiroshima and thinking about our sad experience.

Another absolute cracker of a vlog!! ... WOW imagine never taking that ferry ride .so gorgeous .oh and well said ,may the horror of Hiroshima never ever be seen again 🌺🌺❤️ Merry Christmas guys 🎄🇳🇿

Those shots of the sunset were epic, absolutely stunning. I definitely want to visit there when I come back to Japan. So sad that it’s your last month in Japan but I’m excited to continue following the rest of your adventures❤

When we went to Miyajima in 2019, they had just started the reconstruction on the gate, so it was a covered up. Of course you'd see all of the souvenirs at Hiroshima station and just go, no I want the covered up ones! It just reopened in October after 3+ years (started in summer 2019).

You’re lucky you saw the Torii gate at high tide :) I’ve visited a few times and it generally has been at low tide when you can walk to the gate. The positive of this would be Tia for scale would be possible. But to be honest photos and videos are at their best when it’s high tide.

Of the places that you mentioned, I've been to Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima & Miyajima. The peace dome museum was a very sombre and eerie place. I went there back in the late 80s. I would love to return, but my passport has expired and my travelling days are done.

There are times I see folks filming in really important, deeply personal places and I get so angry that they’re disrespecting what happened there by being loud and just overdoing it. Not y’all, though. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Wow the view from the top of the mountain of all the little tiny Island and Hiroshima was a spectacular and I'm sad that you only have little time from your visa to use in Japan I like definitely like your videos and places that you go and show them the way they're actually how they are and laughing every time Tia always gets away with the munchie times ice cream with deer little tiny poop that's the new one😁😎

I loved my couple of days visiting Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. Its a beautiful location and a wonderful city ❤

Hiroshima??? Really??? I'll be there on December 25, yeayyyy 😊✌

We enjoyed watching your vlogs. We just started watching from the first video and now we're at Switzerland. Keep it coming -Joe & Sheeks

Okonomiyaki is something I cannot wait to try when we visit Japan next Oct/Nov sounds like I should wait until we get to Hiroshima to have it!!. Okonomimura here I come.

Something to consider. Unless the rules have changed since the pandemic began, if you leave Japan (such as taking a "brief" trip to Taiwan), upon return to Japan, you should be granted another "new" 90 day visa. I know, because just before the pandemic closed Japanese borders in 2020, I spent 3 days in Tokyo on a 90 day tourist visa, then travelled to Australia and New Zealand for 5 days, before returning to Japan, whereupon I was again given another 90 day tourist visa. However, I should note that this process should not be repeated ad infinitum, in other words, you should be relatively safe to use this process for an aggregate 6 month stay in Japan one time (Japanese authorities warn against repeating this process just to stay in Japan, and recommend the designated long-term stay visa for tourism purposes). The only other requirements is that your US passport must be valid for more than 6 months and must have 2 blank pages. If you would like to verify the validity of this suggestion, just contact or visit the Regional Immigration Bureaus that are present in the major cities (Tokyo has one, Osaka has one, etc.). There are normally English speakers in the bureaus, especially at the information desk located in the entrance lobbies.

✨ 奄美大島…天国に一番近い島 🙏🏻

I love Japan and love your adventure across this country!

Miyojima😢 Miyajima😊

Love the video 👍. Planning to visit Hiroshima this December. How late does the ferry back to mainland from Miyajima? Is the ferry port in Hiroshima easy to find?

Maybe 2 month ago this torii gate you couldnt see it cause it was under contstruction. Good timing i think they started with maintaining them in 2018 or 2019 until this october or november and it was completly covered. Did you really climb up mount misen that fast haha respect

3:27 Tia with tears in her eyes = instant trigger for this 6'3" 240lb. Marine, not ashamed to admit it either. What happened there was an absolute Low Point for Humanity, and there have been many. One prays that it might be the last...

I do prefer Hiroshima okonomiyaki cabbage style!!! Merry Christmas guys enjoy!!! 🎅🏻🌲🦌🥃

Super vlog guys! I didn’t go to Hiroshima, but did go to the memorial in Nagasaki - also very moving. And took the ferry there out to Io Jima, an island off the coast - the same sort of stunning views as you guys saw in Hiroshima. Can’t wait for your island hopping trip down south. That’s on my bucket list!

Tia's parents live on Amami Oshima? That came out of left field. Looking forward to any vids you post at that location.

Go to Huis Ten Bosch while there. Super cool Place

2:30 Thank you so much for sharing this moment with us. The attack against the innocent people of Hiroshima is the most heinous singular crime against humanity. Then came Nagasaki. It's unbelievable that those responsible for those WMDs were not held accountable. This is no different than rolling into a town or city with tanks and murdering every single woman, child, and man, who had nothing to do with war.

Like #19 from Gilbert, AZ.

Visit the USS Arizona please next

Wonderful video. Tia, I love Okonomiyaki too. Did you try it in Osaka as well? Because Osaka and Hiroshima are rivals when it comes to Okonomiyaki. The one Tia ate is Hiroshima style, which I like Hiroshima style more than Osaka style. But people in Japan can get pretty intense about the rivalry😀

i think when the tide is low you can actually walk out to that tori gate

I think you guys would love Georgia and Azerbaijan for your next trip ;). Nepal is amazing too

you think you know about Hiroshima and then you go there and it smacks you in the face. Very cool place to visit. The chef who made our Okonomiyaki was a huge Hiroshima soccer/baseball fan.

omg i wanna go there so bad!!! amazing piece of history to be learned from there. the food looks so good. What is the name of the place you guys ate at? safe travels!!

No Starbucks in Australia.😉 Hiroshima is very nice & the island is beautiful.... Thanks for the video. I love to visit Japan and see the onsen monkeys. I wish your videos was in VR so we can experience it ourselves.

You guys get an A+ for epic-ness. Time management is maybe a B- 😅

Dear fst love from🇧🇩🇧🇩🌹

😊👍🏼

lol the area around the station is a mess... still like that atm.

17:01 uh, plz say someone else notices that that is the fairy fountain music from the older legend of zelda games and not just me hahaha

If you can, I've done visa renewal runs by taking the ferry from Fukuoka to Pusan and back so you can get another 90 days on your passport. Might be worth trying? (You're probably already done by now, but ... just in case)

In the summertime Tia for scale🏃‍♀️💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

Guys, would it be okay for a day trip to Hiroshima and Miyajima from Osaka ? If it is, what time should I start from Osaka ? Thank you!

宮島の厳島神社の鳥居の修繕は終わっていたんだね(*´ω｀*)⛩

no apologies for not filming. i just wish what cody thought about japan.. was it.. good?

90 Days travelling in Japan, super envy! Where will you guys go after Japan?

you were there in December? bc im planning to go during Dec..

"He roh shee ma" with no long E in the shee.

I’m so obsessed with music playing at (1:52) does anyone know what it is :”)

For foodie, do you guys enjoy Japan or Korea?

ANA to Okinawa is $100 round trip

Thank you guys for visiting in Hiroshima. However, it’s not Miyojima. It’s Miyajima.

Amazing BUT didnt see moki and cody leave and go home that kind of sucks hahaha Bye guys 👋👋👋

I now know that she is Japan

We all missed you guys! But hey you can't film all the time, you need to be with relos and have a break. Once again you have set exactly the right tone at the start of this video. Terrible, atrocious what war does, as is doing right now. I am intrigued as to how you will get down to Hateruma. You probaly are too!? Stay safe. MelbSi

4:51 wait. Are you having a paulaner beer in japan 😑

Wait, is Tia Japanese or Half Japanese?

Japan and South Korea are so much disciplined, organised country i m try for fittness trainer n modeling for korea 🥰
