It definitely helps if you have a flying fear! Plus, it’s more comfortable than a plane anyways 🙂 Was it the Caledonian Sleeper? I took that a few years ago, before TH-cam - It was the highlight of the trip 😍

Thank you! 😊 I am learning more about editing, so I hope to get better with each video!

Yes! All of the 7 mystic Onsen are tattoo friendly, no worries there! ☺️ The only exception is some of the hotels or ryokans might have their own rules regarding their private baths. So double check to make sure when you book a place to stay!

@@SoloTravelPOVthank you ❤️

Of course! I hope you have a wonderful time 😊

Sooooo relaxing 😇

Thanks for watching :) Yes! Much cheaper than Amtrak and in many ways much better 😶🙂 I hope you can ride it one day and happy travels 🤞

It was at “Hakusuien 白水園” ! If you search google maps “Hakusuien 白水園 shirakawago” it will be the first to pop up ☺️💛

@ thank you so much!

Thank you! It is wonderful 😆💛

Thank you! Cheers 💛☺️

Wow those all sound amazing! Especially the Trans Siberian during winter! We would love to take the trip from Moscow to Ulaanbaatar Fingers crossed you can book the Single Deluxe on your next trip 🤞 And thanks for the recommendations for Takamatsu and Naoshima!

Tanjiro? 😆

Right! I miss it, but also can’t wait to explore other onsen towns ☺️

A conversation club sounds so fun, I am jealous! I agree, the big cities are popular for a reason, but when you are tired, visit Kinosaki to replenish your body! But honestly, if you find any onsen near your travels, I would say go for that! There are plenty of beautiful onsen towns in Japan, and you can heal at any one of them ☺️💛 Seafood is also abundant all around!

Thank you! I am very happy you enjoyed it, and I hope you get to visit one day! ☺️💛

20-30 minutes from Syntagma to the beach!

It truly is magical! 🥰

🥴

Thank you! I hope you do! It was nice to experience a laid back relaxing time after all the fun chaos of the big cities ☺️

Thank you very much! I am happy to hear your praise 🥹 TH-cam is a fun hobby after work and I want to grow and get better at making videos 💛

@@SoloTravelPOV Oh if you're 'fun after work hobby' produces work of this quality I can only imagine what you'll be doing in a couple of years time. I'm so excited to see your what your videos will be like in two years time. Wow! Good health to you and your loved ones in 2025!! Your audience will always be here, waiting to receive the gifts of your labour and creativity.☺

Of course! It’s my favorite thing to do and I can’t wait to explore more onsen towns 🤍

Hehe thank you very much 😆💛 I have many more Japan videos filmed and editing right now!

I’m very excited for your trip! I looked at the live webcam for Shirakawago just now and looks like it’s very snowy ☃️🤍

I looked up options and there doesn’t seem to be much choices from Tokyo to Shirakawago direct on a car service, or not enough reviews so I’m not sure how much to trust those. It might be easier to take the Shinkansen to one of the big three cities, Kanazawa, Takaoka or Toyama. Then from there, there is an abundance of private car tours that are reasonably priced and also has a lot of reviews. You will then be only ~1 hour away by car to Shirakawago! The Shinkansen from Tokyo to those 3 cities is fast (~2hrs) and very comfortable, and might even be more pleasant than a direct 5 hour car ride from Tokyo to Shirakawago. My only worry would be that Tokyo Station is big and hectic, so get there early to take your time boarding! I too want to bring my mom to see Shirakawago one day, so I have been thinking about easier routes like this to accommodate her! ☺️

Thank you! I am still learning along the way on how to edit better, especially audio! I did change settings for this video, so thank you for the feedback, audio settings is what I worry about the most! 😅 This channel started as a project to do after work and share all the information I accumulated from vacation planning, I will continue to work on making new videos and keep growing! ☺️💛

Thank you very much! I am happy you enjoyed it ☺️

Yes they are! I saw lots of kids with their parents. There is no age limit to onsens as I even saw a 1 year old in their mothers arms. It will be a very fun and unique experience for them 😊

@@SoloTravelPOVthanks for yr quick reply. To get into the public onsen, all of us need to be naked right? Is it divided by gender?

I’m sorry! I didn’t see this reply, yes you will be completely naked! Honestly everyone averts their eyes and it feels normal quickly! 🙂 And yes it is separated by gender!

Thank you very much! I am happy you enjoyed it 😊

Yes! Here is the link to this Inn and other inns in Shirakawago: shirakawa-go.gr.jp/en/stay/39/ I checked the Japanese website for the Inn in the video and they are currently closed because of construction on the roof. It is still pending on when they will be open again, but most likely late winter/spring. I suggest checking the link above for other farmhouse inns in the village! And I hope this inn opens in time for your trip!

Onsens are my favorite part about Japan! I feel like a new person 😆

I hope you get to go! It is my favorite memory and all my stress and fatigue was gone after the bath, I miss it so much!

Thank you ☺️💛
