We stopped off there on the way out of Tokyo once to visit the Bonsai Art Museum and the new Train Museum...highly recommend both.

Wow! Awesome place. Thanks for touring us around.✌️

Hello , nice Stream , I like trips like this :-)

I love these long livestreams! Another great location 👍. Thanks Kip :). I watch your streams during workouts, so the longer it is the more I exercise :).

Fantastic luck running into Kip; He gave us a lot of interesting details about the area. And Yes, I would like to see more areas around train stations.

Welcome to my home station!! Hope you enjoyed Omiya!

I love your videos. Even if I travel frequently to Japan, it is very refreshing how you present Japan every time, appearing as though you are a first time visitor. There's never enough of Japan to see and learn from. いつものようにとても素敵なプレゼンテーションでした。ご苦労様でした。

*You are so good at politely declining people.*

I love these! Do more!!

Thanks for making these train station tours, I might be coming in September all your videos should help . Its so confusing but I'm sure ill get lost anyways. Being Lost in Japan might not be a bad thing, looking forward to it. Thanks John!!

I love the variety of manhole covers here in Japan!! It’s just a great little touch

Love train station videos. It's my hope to visit every station on the Yamanote Line! Thank you for giving clear directions i.e. which exit you are passing through. Knowing which exit to use is helpful in not getting lost.

I love the food in Japan

Youre the first channel i have ever watched about japan

Missing the place,, stayed here for 3 months.. wanna go back in here 😊

なつかしい！On my first businesstrip to Japan I stayed in Omiya. It looks the same still.

Love your videos!

I want to thank John for graciously allowing me to be a part of his live stream in Omiya. Even though I've been on T.V. as stated this is the first time I've ever watched myself. It's rather wired.

Another Amazing, beautiful live video. Thanks John! Saitama and Omiya station looks like a wonderful area!! Anw i read on Wikipedia that the Saitama prefecture has 7300000 people!!!! Impressive!! Ciao ,greetings from Italy

Thank you for showing us this we really do appreciate it showing us around Japan when we come to Japan will know our way around thank you as always.

Great tour of Omiya station 🚉 thanks John 👍🏻

Love your train station tours big thankyou John please share more !! From Australia here

You are so generous to tour us in Japan. Love your blog it's just like I'm watching an interesting adventure through subarashii Nihon. Domo arigatou‼️👍👏⛩

Saitama is here! Beware of the one punch man :D

Nice tour.

Yes John we liked it very much... We have no words to explain how happy we are on seeing Japan... We will be glad if you show Granny 's of Japan..

My son and I were in Omiya Station last Feb but wasnt able to see the outside because we went to the Railway Museum. Thanks John for showing us around! I want to explore more when we go back! 🙂

I rarely get to see the livestream live but i enjoy them very much. Sure i'm up for more train station adventures :)

A nice tour! Plus got some knowledge from a local. I hope the Thai curry was good! 👍

I go to omiya. Every spring. My sensei lives there,,I study kokodo jujustu, it's a awesome city. Omiya park is beautiful.

love the station videos and also the map adventure xD

I think it is awesome you fell in love with the culture then found your life match in New York who is Japanese and you build a life together in Japan!

Thanks for the tour John! I have been traveling with the Keihin-Tohoku line nearly every day during my internship, but I have never been to Oomiya. Next time I am in Tokyo I will surely visit there!

Nice video, we just spent 30 days in Japan. Missing it, such a cool place.

That map looks so complicated compared to the one we have in Montreal then again I guess it just some getting used to it but the stations look so awesome I can’t wait to visit.

I live omiya

that's a huge station, i might get lost inside!

Thank you

You absolutely have this YT thing down!

Trains are soo fun!

Nice around 40 min mark lane with all them nice places to eat or drink at!!! It's like being on holidays again for you John!!! 😬

When I went to Japan two years ago, I accidentally got on the Shinkansen stopping at Sendai rather than the one going through Shin-Aomori where I was transiting. I practically sprinted the length of the train to find the conductor who was very nice and helpful. He told me to get off at Ōmiya station and that the Shinkansen I should have boarded would also stop there (I wasn’t used to the efficiency of two trains being on the same platform just 3 minutes apart!). I am very grateful for Ōmiya station (and the conductor) for saving me from a very disastrous day!!!

Saitama!!!! One puuuuunnch!

This one is fantastic above all your Video. Please once more do onsen New vlog.

Large Japanese train stations are amazing how much they have in and around the station!

That melon pan looks so fluffy

How many stadiums (venues) are being used for the Rugby World Cup?

JAPAN IS ALWAYS THE BEST.

Omiya has a Bonsai Museum, one is over 1000 yrs old

Hikawa Shrine is the main attraction of Omiya. The 1st category shrine is dedicated to Kunshinada-hime and Susanoo-no-mikoto.

I’ll be there in August have business in Tokyo and that is the Shinkansen station i use. Thanks.

What camera you used?

I went to OMIYA but I got lost! 😔I mean, I kept thinking, did I get off the wrong station? I am not sure because I know I log off OMIYA Station from KASUKABE. I was looking for DAINI park, but I got lost! I didn’t find it so I decided to go back home instead. 😂

Please go to Ashikagashi station and walk to Apita mall, i know, very specific but plssss

Why do they have red bridges in Japan?
