Thank you for these lovely ideas. I was last year in Japan and I was very impressed. I want to go there again and I bookmarked your video. There were so many wonderful places you showed us in the video. Thank you very much!
What a beautiful video,it's really nice to be able to visit Japan through this channel,thank you Aki for sharing ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😂
Hey Aki!
I'm Going to japan! Any places you would recommend?
After seeing the video, I wood like to go to Hiroshima first. Then, maybe Gofu! That one seems very pleasant.
I didn't think I'd like to go to the one that inspired the movie Princess Mononoke…I have never seen that movie! My favorite is Ponyo!
Thanks for your videos, Samurai Matcha!
Mt Fuji…
VERY impressive…
Also, I would really like to know Kyoko's inspiring Instagram 🩷 thanks!
Those photos are so pretty! これらはとてもきれいなしゃしいんですね!~
I am so here for this lovely collaboration! I definitely want to see all the old architecture and street styling in Okayama. It looks like a place I'd be happy to get lost in.
All of these places seem so gorgeous. Kyoko-san has a real gift for capturing beautiful images on camera. Amazing. And the app she made to keep track of it all is a wonderful idea. Definitely convenient.
That cedar tree looks like it could rival the size of some of the larger Redwood trees in California. It must be very old. I hope it stands for many more years to come.
I appreciate you sharing this compilation with all the gorgeous pictures. I want to visit all these places, now. You've made them too appealing. <3
Aki, you are great in English, but you are so cute and pleasant speaking Japanese 🤩. All your video are Super👍 Thank You 🗻
Thank you both so much! I smiled through this whole video! I hope i get to see at least one if these places in Japan some day ❤
Coming to Japan this September! Flights are booked! Thank you for sharing these hidden gems! I love Samurai Matcha! ❤
Thank you! Love both lists! I’ve been grateful to visit most of the places on your two lists. I am so happy to see Okinawa on your list! The Ryukyu Islands are amazing! So different than the mainland.
You picked some really nice places. I loved Hiroshima, too. Ise and Beppu were already on my list for my next visit in Japan. 楽しみです😊
Aki Sensei, Kyoto is the city I most want to visit 🥇 and Sapporo, Hokkaido is my 🥈silver medal Japanese city I want to visit. I want to snow ski ⛷️. Tokyo does not interest me. I want to hear the Kansai accent in Kyoto too. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵
Oh wow, what a lovely video. Thank you! And I really Love it, when you enclude japanese in your Videos 😊 very beautiful language
Thank you so much for getting out of the golden triangle and suggesting less tourist busy places
Hi Aki, greetings from Canada (Ottawa)! My husband and I have visited Japan twice already and seen some of the places that you mentioned – Hiroshima, Miyajima, Kanazawa, Takayama – but we would like to go again in a few years' time and see some more out-of-the-way places. This video is a great resource for us, thank you! And thank you for introducing Kyoko!
参考になります!
All of them. Arigato!
Oh, thank you so much : )
All of the places were so breathtakingly beautiful or charming. Lovely!
Thank you, Aki san! Thank you, Kyoko san! This video is so wonderful! I love watching photos and videos of beautiful Japanese landscapes, as well as ancient Japanese streets and interiors, they have a calming effect.🙏🗾🌅🌱🌸🌱🌄
Whoa! All of those places are so beautiful! I like to go to Japan someday 😊
🤍
Thanks for this, Aki! I visited Japan for the first time in 2024, exploring Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and some lesser-known places in the Chubu and Kansai regions. This year, I’ll be coming back to explore Shikoku and Kyushu. I’m really looking forward to experiencing Japan’s slower pace of life, with its beautiful nature and gentle people. And this video couldn’t have come at a better time!
Thank you. 🙏 I am going to Japan in October for the 4th time 5 years ago was the last time I was there and I really got some inspiration from what you showed. 🙂 and people go to Kumamoto the vibe there is amazing
Hi Sumurai Matcha, pls do a video that introduce good spots for Osen …n easy to access . Thank you in advance
Enjoyed wtching and very interesting places in Japan to visit
