Honestly, Claire, I don't know why tourism industries haven't hired you to make vlogs for places all over the world yet. You are so talented and your eye is impeccable.

I am a 71 year old American woman and I enjoy your work on You Tube. Honestly, this one was the very best. You are so skilled at this medium. I would love to go to Japan but my health limits me. So I will enjoy it through you. Thanks.

You should have your own travel show on Netflix 😂

the only youtuber who's video excites me, inspires me and motivates me to believe what i truly believe in...do work that is aesthetically pleasing.Claire, you are the best. Stay as real and authentic always in a world filled with videos that is created to make you feel bad about yourself. This one made me happy about the world we live in. Thank you...

Hey Claire 🥹, I know it’s been a minute since you’ve been here. But I want to say a big thank you for putting these videos back up. I’ve been coming on here to check every month and seeing these videos here, it feels like Christmas. I hope you’ve been doing well. Sending lots of love and hugs to you and Bruce.

THIS is what a brand trip video/vlog should be. Artful, respectful, and demonstrates learning. Such a contrast to a lot of the videos out there showcasing brand sponsored trips. Thanks, Claire, as always, for your respect for the place, the people, and the experience.

Honestly all your videos are so well put together and unique I live for them

The intro blew me away. It captured japan so beautifully 💖 edit: the whole video seemed like a natgeo documentary. I loved it!!

I totally enjoyed this video, can not wait for part 2. However, the constant smiles and laughter showed me that you are in such a great place in your life and I am completely happy for you. Keep doing things that you love and continue to better yourself! YOU ROCK CLAIRE MARSHALL!! x

"By the time we left Japan, the flowers were beginning to fall" goosebumps all over my body

Claire!!!!! This video was so refreshing and amazing. The way you fused vlogging with cinematography. The video was informative and peaceful felt like I was there in Japan with you. Can not wait for the next part.

This is your calling, do more of this! Great work Claire, wish you the best 🙏🏾

I have goosebumps!!!! I'm holding my tears! This is what youtube needs!!! I love you Claire Marshall!! #legend xxxxxxx

Honestly sitting in chipotle trying to hide the fact that I’m tearing up into my burrito. 😂 Man, the power that your cinetography has to tell a story and touch the deepest of our emotions is astounding. Loved every bit, can’t wait to see what more is in store!

I’ve never watched this well informed and beautifully created vlog about my home country. What you experienced was something not all of us wouldn’t. I’m actually jealous😳😂 Thanks for your respect toward our culture and looking forward to the rest of the series!!!!❤️

I love travel KZfaqrs. Many of them have gone to Japan and made videos about their time and travels. I have not once considered Japan at the top of my list... until now. Thank you, Claire, for showing a peaceful, meaningful, and historical view of Japan. I look forward to the videos to come.

You’ve outdone yourself with this vlog, Claire! There’s so much attention to detail and the cinematography is beautiful! Yet it doesn’t feel stifled and impersonal because of the more vlog-like elements. You’ve managed to capture the feel of Kyoto and convey it so perfectly! Looking forward to the rest of the series. X

girllll you don't know how excited i ammm, seeing that you put these available to see again. No mater how much time pases you still are my favorite content creator since idk like 2014 😅. I hope thet you're doing great, lots of love from Colombia

I want to let you know how inspiring you are to watch. You are so real when it comes to your feelings and finding balance. You don't hide those aspects of your life, you share them for yourself. And people like me get touched by that. I like the fact that you don't just throw content on youtube in bulk because everything that you put out is intentional. I hope you are finding that clarity in your life because you are killin the game! You're LITERALLY my favorite!

Loved how cultural and informative this was, not simply a bunch of beautiful shots but with a relaxing narrative too, really felt like you were bringing the viewers along with you ❤️ I’m off to Japan in 2 weeks and am definitely going to take inspiration from the places you visited. Can’t wait to see more!

The combo of vloggy & cinematic is really cool!!! Can't wait for part 2 now 🖤

This is what Claire does best and what got me into you to begin with. Just gorgeous editing and shots. Such a unique style.

My favorite part of this epic film is that you didn't overload it with heavy upbeat or some semi-appropriating music. It felt so genuine and calm to listen only to your storytelling and living your experiences through it!

I feel so calm down. Thank you for taking us on your journey, Claire! Japan is at the top of my wish list of the countries I want to see. And with your insight, I want it all the more. #ThankYou 😍🙏

This is the first time in years that I have purposefully used my Macbook to watch a KZfaq video on full screen, rather than balanced on a stack of books and serving as background noise. Can't wait for the rest of the series!

This is brilliant, Claire. Much superior than many proper travel shows even. Cannot wait for the next one.

Back with a bang !! Beautifully shot video and shows so much growth from your previous videos. Cannot wait to see what the other parts have in store. So glad you’re back x

This blew me away. I'm just so grateful for you making this video. I'm so happy for you, you seem closer to the harmony and balance we all seek. I feel like I could breathe with you throughout the video and I felt like you invited me to explore Japan with you. Thank you so much for this experience. I hope you are well, and I can't wait for the next one. Sending love your way 💛✨

I felt like I was watching a documentary- the cinematography, narration, the specific cuts you chose for this video....absolutely breathtaking.

This is so amazing Claire! The filming, the editing, your narration, the way you really embraced and captured the culture. I found myself tearing up a bit sometimes and I have no idea why. I can't wait to see the rest. I'm so happy you got to experience this and hope I can too someday. ❤

the monk is so handsome LOL

Your contents are always very thoughtful, well-produced high quality outcomes. But this one is by far the best for me. I think you really captured atmosphere of this side of Japan and what the brand Tacha tries to show. Its unbelievable that its only day 1 and 1st episode. Cant wait for more!

The cinematography is absolutely beautiful, do you know what lenses Alex used for some of those shots? 😍

I'm in literal tears. I have a love for Japan (and I hope to go there one day myself), so as you can imagine, I've seen a lot of videos/vlogs about Japan. But this video right here is BY FAR the most beautiful I have ever seen. Not only is it beautiful, it is also thoughtful and respectful and passionate. I'm blown away. Not only by this amazing piece of art you created, but by you, Claire. Your love shows through it all. You are a beautiful person, inside and out, and I'm so happy to be apart of this little family here on KZfaq. You're a breath of fresh air. I cannot wait for the rest of the series!

I wana go to Japan now!!

Watching while eating lunch at work & had to hold back the tears from seeing the beauty. I’ve wanted to travel there for awhile now but haven’t been be able to make that happen for many reasons😞but I still have hope I will get there one day. Thank you for sharing!

Tears during the bamboo woods footage 😿😿

Yesss Claire!! I got teary eyes during the meditation scene, everything you spoke of was spot on. I felt it on a deeper level. I always look forward to your content, everything you put out is genuine and carefully thought out. Love you!

Absolutely adored how you showed Kyoto! Seeing through your perspective is so refreshing! It makes seeing Kyoto a new experience for everyone.

I did an international living program in Japan a few years back for a month and it completely changed my life. This video captures the essence of this country so beautifully!

This video was so beautiful. Kyoto looks like such a serene and peaceful place. I love the focus on having a cultural connection: u dont see that often on these brand trips. Can’t wait to see the next 3 parts of this japan series.

I'm from Osaka and went to school in Kyoto, am currently in the US. I miss my country. Best video of Japan ever, can't wait for the lest!

Whenever I see photos or footage from Japan, it always strikes me how beautiful colours are there. The pink of the blossoms or the gold in the temple at the end. Looks magical ⭐️

claire. that bit about the cherry blossoms equating to the beauty and brevity of life hit me right in the feels. one thing i've come to realize as i've gotten older is how much more beautiful life is as you endure and live through the hardships and heartaches. so much of who you are on this platform speaks volumes as to how beautiful your soul is - thank you for sharing that with us

This video was beautiful and it displayed Japan in such a perfect way 💖 I can’t wait to see your next ones!

Wasn't expecting this to make me emotional but it did. So beautiful and insightful.

Watching this video reminded me of how in love I am with Japan. It’s a breath taking experience to be there and I always tell people to go to Japan at least once in their lives. You never come back the same after seeing all that it is.

watching this made me realize how much i miss your content! i can tell this video was well thought out and that you spent a lot of time working on this. recently i thought about how rarely you post on youtube and are more active on your IG, but its because most of your content now is so much more meaningful than just random daily vlogs. excited to watch the rest of this series!!

CLAIRE!!! OMG YOUR VIDEOS GIVE ME SOO MUCH EASE AND PEACE OF MIND! like seriously! The tranquility and serenity of your videos are so relaxing and beautifully made! I felt like I was actually in Japan with you as my tour guide! I am soo happy for you and how far you came

Thank you for blessing my morning!🤗😁 you are truly the best and most talented KZfaqr and it is showed by all of your content!❤️

This is amazingly well done! Can’t wait to see the rest!!!!

Sometimes I think Claire is a film editor and I’m living for the beautiful editing, story, and thought process behind everything 👏🏼👏🏼

This is just amazing Claire. I lived in Asia in my early 20s and took it for granted. I might just revisit Japan again to really take it in.

Wow Claire this is some of your best work. @tatcha give this girl a bonus! Lol can't wait to see the rest of the series!

I normally never comment on videos but I couldn't stop myself on this one. I just found your channel today on my recommended page and you instantly became my favorite. Your content is so simplistic and soothing yet so entertaining to watch. I watched your good morning habits that you did before stumbling on this one and you have such a wide range of talent. You're genuinely pure and it shows. I love this video and how I felt as if i was sitting there with you in the restaurant eating sushi and laughing about the smallest things. You really captured the rawness and the realness of a place and made it a story. Absolutely love and respect your work, you're an incredible human being. Keep on this path, you're opening the ways for others to follow.

I am shook. Of course this is a masterpiece, your narration along with the music and beautiful shots moved me and inspired me so much. I can’t wait for the rest!

I’ve never clicked on a notification so quick!!

I just cried throughout this whole video. No idea why. It's just so beautiful.

This isn’t a KZfaq video, it’s a documentary. And a beautiful one at that. Absolutely wonderful xx

There is something about your editing, your voice, your outlook...your videos are just truly a treasure to watch. It's like peering into a small pocket of the world captured in these fragmented bits of time and all pieced together in a true vision of inspiration. Thank you for this and I can't wait to view part II next.

So excited to see the vedios back again. I've watched these bfore but I can't stop myself watching it again ♥♥♥

Thank you for "re-posting" this.

There is something to forest bathing. I get so rejuvenated after a day in the woods or by the lake or river. Love it.

This is AMAZING!!!! Can't wait for part 2!

This video was so well made and edited and I love it!! As someone who grew up in Japan, it's like watching a little slice of home ♥

I loved Japan so so much and can totally relate to your experience!!

That meditation portion had me feeling quite emotional and left me in tears, like yes we all do want the same things! Love you Claire, this was edited so beautifully (as are all your videos) and looks like such a wonderful trip! Can’t wait to see what other experiences you had in Japan! 😻

You don't need a lot of words. Beautifully done video. Probably the second best thing to seeing places in person is through you! So now, I just need to make my way to Japan! Thank you for sharing your experiences and your talents of video-making with us.

This was absolutely stunning!! Makes me miss Japan so much ❤️

I'm too lazy to scroll through all the comments, so I don't know if someone has asked this. I was wondering how having tattoos was treated in Japan. I have heard that tattoos are taboo, and certain establishments will ban patrons who have them. Did you experience any barriers because of your tattoos? ANNNNND, now, I will say I have been a long fan of your videos, and this Japan series is making me happy seeing a country told through your perspective.

A true genius! The way you execute these videos is like no other. I’ve always seen you tubers try and copy your work but they could never compare. Thank you for making me feel like I was part of this trip. Love you Claire!!

I love it , I can’t wait to see part 2!

Was about to sleep (it’s 12am in Singapore) but had to watch this once I got the notification! The effort you put in to edit these vlog ish videos that are so well put with the different background music is crazy ... you are making me so excited about my Japan trip to come (also giving me some idea of vlogging there!!!) love you Claire I’m so glad you’re uploading long videos again 😭💖

I haven't made it through the whole video yet but just had to comment on how much I'm looking forward to the next part. I hope you are given so many more opportunities to travel and capture places like this

Honestly, STUNNING. Such amazing footage Claire.

Oh my gosh. Waited so long and it's gorgeous!

omg i feel like i manifested you putting some vids back up

This vlog looks like Nat geo documentary 🙏🖤

This was unreal. I can't believe in the span of one video I can connect to someone and also learn so much. Thank you as always Claire 💕

Absolutely stunning...I have no words. Can't wait to see more!

wow

Omg a shiba. I have a shiba and he is my world.

honestly, you may not upload as much as you used to but your content has just evolved so much, is so touching, beautiful, and moving... amazing 😌👌🏻

I cried like a baby. The bamboo forest makes me incredibly emotional. I love Japan, since forever. Thank you for this beautiful video, Claire.

Hey Claire! Where's your beret & bomber jacket from?

What is Michi doing there?

Love this! Honestly so beautiful. Can't wait for part 2! X

Right on time (beat notifications)! Hello Miss Claire. Hope you're having a wonderful morning.

Amazingly beautiful!!! Thankful that you brought us with you! 🙏🏼 I felt so Zen after watching this and listening to your voice and the way you delivered your message... I can't wait to watch the rest ❤️

You're back! ❤️❤️ can't wait for part 2 x

That was so beautiful Claire.

This was so beautiful and inspiring Claire. This entire series I feel is going to be enlightening, thank you for creating this. You are by far one of my favourite creators.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm so excited to see the rest of the series ... your style is amazing!

Wow! Thank you for sharing your beautiful trip! Excited to see the rest!

what a beautiful vlog!! Speechless wow!!!

Wow. This was absolutely unreal to see, I can't wait for the next parts. The time in the Zen garden was absolutely magical, it actually calmed me down so much! Love the way you've edited these shots together.

Your videos always bring so much emotion out of me. And I always shed a tear... or lots of tears. I love how appreciative you are of every detail. Thankful you have opportunities like this to deepen who you are and show us your journey Claire!💕💕

THIS IS UNREAL, SO MANY FEEELS! itching for more and can't wait for the other parts!!! ❤️

This is absolutely beautiful, Claire. This is what a travel video should look, sound and feel like. The sequence at the Kenninji Temple is so calming to watch (and listen to).

So beautiful, Claire, and so lovely to see you laughing. I can’t wait for Day 2!
