Looks amazing!
It was a good video but seemed too short and skimmed over. I really love the Puerto Escondido/Sayulita videos as they covered a lot of content, shows what a full day is like, you can really feel the experience more. I thought there's too much voice-over instead of the more raw in the moment kind of narration(I think they create a more real moment). It was a good video, beautiful visuals but not as rich as some of your old material. Just some constructive feedback, I always enjoy your videos!
Really liked the pic of Mt. Fugi scenery and food rundowns! I inherited my Dads Japanese stamp collection picturing Mt. Fugi, but seeing it in the real is stunning! 👏
If you go visit a car factury like Honda or Nissan, Mitsubischi ect. They give you a car for free, well the visits are not free but tha car is…
I have not watched this yet, but I’m going to give it a like already because I know it’s going to be good. Japan is one of my favorite destinations of all time and if you didn’t get to go to Hiroshima, I highly recommend it it’s a very special place. OK time to dig in😝
I adopt ikagai Japanese philosophy simplicity in simple pleasures😊
Such a fun video. And I love the way you love your food!!!!🤣 And the very little Crosby and Jake was so cute and, of course, so loud. 😍
I would love to dive into the food in Japan someday! I could easily eat ramen and sushi every day! I still have yet to visit Japan, but it is high on my list. Tokyo and Kyoto alone would be so cool to see! I can't wait to see your next series in Vietnam coming up!
Awesome video, Crosby!! 🤩 I’ve been wanting to visit Japan so bad and this might be just the motivation I needed!! 😎😅 Your hyping review of the food really gives me something to get excited about!! 🤤 Hope all is well and continue having safe travels and sharing such awesome content!! 🤙
What an interesting and fun video! Thanks for the throwback with little Crosby, so cute! I would imagine that major planning would take place prior to your trip, besides the language and cultural differences there is SO much to do and see, it's nice that you will be visiting again.
❤🎉
Can't wait to see the rest of the trip !
amazing.
You trapped me with your intro! OK, Let's see the video now!!!!! Here we go!
Ok, The video lived up to the hype! Looks so CHILL! Clean, colorful, polite people and TASTY! I wanted more food stops but I understand. Thanks so much! Really enjoyed your video and enthusiasm!!!!!….MORE!!!!!!
Japan is a unique country that combines cutting-edge technology and a long history at the same time.
I'm proud to be Japanese.
