Ryotato-sama returns to redeem the grim state of YouTubers in Japan!
That reminds me of something i wonder about. How common is it for japanese people to use the -sama honorific in everyday life?
niigata was a wonderful city and I'm glad I visited but the SPIDERS EVERYWHERE was a problem. Huge ones, tiny ones, sometimes 5 or 6 different ones all living together in a single corner…. Great city, skip the spiders.
Thanks for being here early! This video takes you on a journey through the unique charm and stories of Niigata. I’d love to hear your thoughts and impressions, so feel free to share them in the comments below!
Only 20 mins? Come on…
Hi ryotaro I love niigata your videos are amazing ❤❤❤❤
So do koi lose color and turn grey as they age? Noticed 40 yr old koi was grey. But do love patterns of orange & white in koi.
The World needs more Tea Ceremony 🙏
I would only have one thing on my to-do list: locate Ryotaro
Oya-san and you look like ye could become good mates, He's fun
Love idea each firework has personal meaning.
I love this, saving the video for when I plan my next trip! Also 1) I keep confusing Niigata with Nagano – hopefully I'll stop doing that now; 2) I've had koi sashimi and didn't think it was that tasty. Tastes like water! Love be salted grilled ayu though 🤤
When describing the 3 festivals the first group had white fireworks that reminded me of flowers opening up and blooming.
