Ohayou-gozaimasu! Раша-san😊 Thank you for watching my video! And thank you for your comments as well. I'm really happy.😍 If you have the time, please do watch my video again, and let's explore Japan together sometime!😸🐈😻🐾

Konnichiwa🥰Thank you, Douglas-san, for your kind comments as always!🤸‍♀🤸‍♀ Yes, it does have a resemblance to Hawaii, and I also felt nostalgic the first time I visited. and since then, I've been hooked. Actually, the scent of the air is so wonderful! Maybe I was a fish living here in a past life. I wish you could come here and experience this air. If I win the lottery, I will definitely invite you to visit!😉 Wish me luck! 🍀

Hi Bharat-san 😁, Thank you for taking the time to watch my Okinawa video.! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the views from the plane and the peaceful beach scenes. Okinawa is truly a gem for nature lovers. And you're absolutely right about the food - I need to eat something to give me strength 🤣🤣and it's also an integral part of any travel experience! 😁

こんにちは！トニーさん😁Thank you for your kind words and support! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Indeed, every arduous path eventually unveils a magnificent destination. I hope you have the chance to visit Iriomote Island's hidden beach someday.😉

Hola, Marta-san. Muchas gracias por tus comentarios. ¿Así que vendrás a Japón a mediados de octubre? Maravilloso. Las hojas otoñales alrededor de la base del monte Fuji deberían estar empezando por esas fechas. Espero que puedas ver los hermosos colores otoñales cuando nos visites. Si tienes alguna pregunta sobre cómo viajar a Japón, no dudes en hacérmela. Y para tu tercer viaje a Japón, te recomiendo la isla de Iriomote. Es un lugar muy hermoso lleno de naturaleza. También hay muchas islas bonitas alrededor de la isla Ishigaki, así que ir de isla en isla también sería divertido.

Aston-san, thank you so much for consistently watching and commenting on my videos.🥰 I truly appreciate your support! Iriomote Island is indeed a paradise for nature enthusiasts, with its untouched beauty. I'm planning to edit a sequel to this video, and I hope it'll be ready by the next summer. 😅 As we approach fall, I'd like to create a video featuring the autumn scenery first! However, it seems that due to global warming, this year's fall foliage might arrive later than usual. Please look forward to it. 😁I'm delighted that you liked the rain scene! It would be even better if I could somehow convey the fragrance of the rain too!

@@GetToKnowJapanTogether Fine. I look forward to your autumn video.

@@astonmartin3310 Дякую! Астон-сан! Гарного тижня!😘

Hello Minifix-san,Thank you sooo much for watching the video and for your comment. The Cemal box turtles usually appear very calm, but the turtles there were either being lovey-dovey or perhaps they were fighting!🤣🤣

Rickard-san 🩷Thanks for all the comments! It seems you've traveled extensively across Japan, even more than most Japanese people! Can you recommend any particular destinations? I'm delighted to hear that your son had the chance to see manta rays up close while scuba diving! Interestingly, you can also experience this by snorkeling on Ishigaki Island. Why not consider swimming with them on your next visit? And please enjoy Iriomote Island next time you go to the Yaeyama area! The nature is breathtaking, and the locals are exceptionally warm and friendly. However, the number of Izakaya and stores is few, so please bring your own Awamori!😁 I share your desire to visit Ogasawara! Unfortunately, I easily get seasick, so I haven't dared to go there. I've heard that the Ogasawara Maru sails on the Pacific Ocean, and it can be pretty bumpy. If you decide to go to Ogasawara, please consider uploading a video! I'll watch it! 😍

@@GetToKnowJapanTogether Yes, I have been to many parts of Japan from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south. My wife is from Akita-Ken (a small town called Yokobori that's now part of Yuzawa; her mother was from Kakunodate). Prior to the COVID pandemic, we went to Japan nearly every year. When Japan opened up post pandemic, we returned last May-June 2023. By the way, I viewed your vid re the Akita Shinkansen, and the Komachi, an E6 series train set with its red livery, is a unique and beautiful train set. Its my favorite way to get to Akita-Ken. By the way, in the vid while you were waiting in Omiya Station for Komachi, I know you knew the departure sound (time 1:48) was not the sound of train brakes, but some of your viewers wouldn't know. Speaking of departure melodies, I miss the shinkansen departure melody at Sendai Station. Yes, our son enjoyed the "Manta Scramble" in Ishigaki-jima. I couldn't help from calling it the manta scramble as it's the equivalent of the "Shibuya Scramble" for mantas. As for destinations, I'll start with Hokkaido and work my way south in follow on posts. I like Hakodate and its asa ichi. My favorite, MUST HAVE breakfast is a kaisendon topped with uni, ikura, kani, and hotate. The night view of Hakodate from Mt. Hakodate is beautiful. The city's mix of western and Japanese architecture in some of the residential neighborhoods below Mt. Hakodate is interesting. And the old trams are cute. Because I love the shinkansen, getting to Hakodate is faster with the Hokkaido Shinkansen that uses the H5 series train sets identical to the Hayabusa. About an hour north of Hakodate by car or train is an onsen we like called Ginkon Yu in Yakumo (ginkonyu.com). I prefer smaller, quieter family owned and operated onsens like Ginkon Yu over the large, multi-story, hotel-like onsens. Sapporo and nearby Otaru has much to see, but since I like ramen, I'll visit the Ramen Yokocho and order a thick miso ramen with corn and butter. As you know, Hokkaido has great dairy products and grows a lot of corn and potatoes. And Yezo shika and the dangerous higuma roaming the wide open expanses of this magnificent island. Lake Toya (Toya ko) is nice as is Noboribetsu and its large fancy onsens. In central Hokkaido there is Daisetsuzan N.P. and Furano. And Shiraoi and its Ainu cultural center. My most memorable Hokkaido experience was a trip on board the AURORA, a small sightseeing boat out of Shari that sails to the tip of the Shiretoko Hanto and back. The coastal scenery of the Shiretoko Hanto is spectacular. Snow-capped mountains with waterfalls plunging into the sea. Well, this is enough to digest for now. I'll get back in a couple days with Tohoku, a region I know well.

@@rickardanderson4804 Oh, your Okusama is from the Tohoku area. That explains why you know so much about Japan. Thank you for all the recommendations on Hokkaido! I've never heard of Ginkonyu before, but I checked the link you sent me, and it looks like a fantastic place I'd love to visit someday. I am planning to make a video about Hokkaido in the future, but before that, I need to save up for the trip!😅😅

@@GetToKnowJapanTogether I forgot to mention a couple places in Sapporo in my Hokkaido travel recommendations. When in Sapporo, I really enjoy going to the Sapporo Beer Garden, an old renovated brewery with great food and a wide variety of different draft beers on tap. The large restaurant with the huge copper brewing kettle serves great pub-style food, and the Jingisukan (Genghis Khan grilled lamb) is a must eat dish. Another interesting place is the Sapporo Beer Museum. And of course, no visit is complete without tasting the various beer samples. Just outside the city in the mountains overlooking Sapporo is the old 1972 Winter Olympics site. The ski jumping facility is quite impressive and one can go up to the top for an even better view. And, of course, there is the Sapporo Snow Festival. Unfortunately, I have never attended it. Maybe someday. リック P.S. Sapporo beer is my favorite Japanese beer, and the city of Sapporo is known as the birthplace of Japanese beer. My favorite Sapporo beer is Sapporo Classic. It is unfortunately only available in Hokkaido, and it is brewed in accordance with the German Purity Law. You'll have to go to Hokkaido to enjoy Sapporo Classic.

Bon après-midi🥰Eodisさん🌸こんにちは Thank you for all your heartwarming comments! The ice cream shop at the airport is really good, so I wanted to share it with you all. I couldn't provide many details in the video due to time constraints, but the ice cream I had was Okinawan tofu flavor (the white one), and the mugwort-flavored one. Actually, they even offer Euglena (plankton) ice cream 😨! I'm delighted that you also enjoyed the 雨 scenery. ☺The trip was a lot of fun, and I got to meet people I've missed. ありがとう again from 敦子🥰、ヤドカリ、山羊🐐、亀🐢❤

Gracias por sacar tiempo de tu apretada agenda para ver mi vídeo. Okinawa debería estar en tu lista de próximos destinos de viaje.😁 Por cierto, ¡me encantaría ver un vídeo de tu viaje a Japón si lo tienes!

Claro amiga, estoy preparando unos videos de mi viaje :D @@GetToKnowJapanTogether

@@luigicuau22 ¡Guau! ¡Increíble! Estoy deseando verlos🥰🥰🥰

Hi AD-san,😍😍 Thank you for watching my video again, and I'm grateful for your comment. It means a lot to me.😘 In Okinawa, you can swim from late March to the end of October, with the best season being June to October. Is the sea cold in your area? It sounds similar to Hokkaido! That means you can enjoy some delicious seafood? That would be wonderful. I love seafood😋 Wishing you a great start to the week!
