My wife and I were there in 1983 staying with an aunt & uncle who are both now gone. We were on our way to tour China, which only a few years prior was still a Bamboo curtain to Westerners. My memory of Miyajima was the emphasis of wooden rice paddles as the island souvenir, guess that has paddled away now.
Thank you! We love your walking video. They are beautiful, with excellent details. For tourists with mobility issues, it is so helpful to see the grown, the floor, and the pathways, the stairs and all the steps, and actual walking distance to the sights. What an excellent job ! 👏👏👏
I was there 35 yrs ago when I was a Hyogo Prefecture trainee, they toured us in Miyajima and Hiroshima, it brings back our fond memories. Wish can back with my wife. I am following you so that I can recall and reminisce my stay in Japan.
I watched this on the big screen thru Apple TV. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I couldn't comment on TH-cam there, but I will here. What a beautiful location. I couldn't help but notice how spotlessly clean it was. Not even a candy wrapper on the ground. Would you and Thuong do more of these walking tours together, please? It's a great way of seeing Japan at a slower pace. Much, mahalo!
@Nguyễn Xuân Phúc PM my wife comes from the Philippines. I've been there three times now, and I would have to say it is much like how you describe Vietnam. I love the people, so friendly and hospitable, but no matter what town or city you visit, it's much the same. They are just dirty and run down. Shame, because I had thoughts of living there with my wife. I know she would like that as she would be closer to her family, but she knows that after time i would be miserable there. She is very thoughtful and understanding. We do, though, go back to visit when we can. At least with insurance money and built up equity, if something should happen to me, she would be able to live quit nicely with her family with no financial worries. I can at least provide that for her.
That was most enjoyable ! The white bird was a Heron , sometimes called an Egret; they are smaller than Cranes, different species. Hope you can enjoy a cool Japanese beer now that you have 50k subscribers . Well done.
Thank you so much for showing us the wonderful places in Japan be it via cycling or hiking. I am very fortunate to experience this thru your videos. Whatever happened has its reason and i do not feel any "unfortunately" about it and i wish you will feel the same too and replace the above "word" with something more positive. Keep up the good work. All the best in your new workplace and looking forward to your new experience sharing. Thank you so much in advance.
Overcast rainy days are my favorite for travel and relaxing! I guess I'm pretty weird in that sense! Wish I was travelling this year but getting out of Europe at the moment is just full of too many uncertainties. Rules keeps changing week to week so don't know if I'll be able to come back on time to be back at work. Ah well at least I can watch others have fun and lament my life lol! Loved the video, Keep up the good work.
Stickers on the utility pole was so familiar. See this in many of the cities I explore in the United States. As usual, I enjoyed walking with you two. And DON'T eat the red beans...
Thanks for the tour. We were there in 2016 and it brings back many fond memories. Many more deer and sidewalk food vendors were everywhere selling delicious seafood (grilled oysters, octopus, fish). I remember it took 15 min to get a clear photo on the shore edge in front of that big red torii because there were so many people. ⛩️🦑🍡 Hope you were able to try their special okonomiyaki and visit the atomic museum and other sites and foods. 🗾🙏 54:40 Periwinkle snails. Tasty snacks in Vietnam steamed or sauteed with lemongrass and chili or tamarind. Ốc xào me, ốc hấp sả ớt We almost attended a Carp game but were denied at the door because it was sold out.

Breakfast looks delicious. The ferry boat looks fun. Never been on one yet. The tour was great. Surprised on the high/low tide results. Have fun and be safe. Thanks for sharing...😀👍👌👊🚶♀️🚶♂️
Love Miyajima. Visited there twice. I hiked up Mount Misen, it was a great hike. I was on the island to 9pm once and it was like a ghost town. It's very quite after dark.
If you have a JR rail pass, you can ride the ferry to Miyajima for free. Hiked Mt Misan in 2018, awesome view from the top. The white bird is an Egret, nice vid Cruise
In my only trip (till now) to Singapore, the damn Merlion statue, pretty much the only thing that Singapore be recognized for, was under construction like that. Yep, that is my luck.
You’ve got a great one in Nagoya, Y Market brewing! Give it a go once you’re back home. Bunch of new breweries these 3-4 years I would say, lots of them owned/shared or brewed by Americans which is interesting.
Really want to go to Japan with my family and see the more rural areas but as we do not speak any Japanese apart from basic greetings etc I wonder if it would be a struggle? Really enjoy the channel 👍
In Cambodia there are Deer , In Singapore there is tipping , In India also , ( I refuse to tip ) ! ; I gave awy drinking beer 7 yrs ago , but the last couple of months I 've had Rum & Coke ( because it was cold and my Wife and I were having lunch and dinner 6 weeks apart ! Thanks for the great video , Yes it was real fun !
Hi, I am looking for advice. I live in Japan, and and ride a mamachari, which I keep outside. Her name is White Beauty. Do you have any advice about how I can keep her clean? In the US, I could just soap her down and hose her off in the driveway. But, I can’t exactly do that here. Do you have any advice? Thanks, in advance.
I wash my bikes in front of my apartment. It's not a great space, but it works. Also, having a parking space with a roof can help keep the bike in good condition.
Avoiding deer poop seems like a small price to pay for visiting such a beautiful place. I really enjoyed the video, Cruise. Have you two been to a location where there are macaques?
hi, enjoy your video, thanks. but, to be curious and picky, doe 'jima' means island? if so, should it be just Miyajima, no need to add 'island'. Anyway, not a big deal, and enjoy it, that is what count.
Why are you doing all the talking? Can your companion not talk? She walks faster and in front of you? Why do you bring her along with you? Without her contributing meaningfully to the picnic?
Your wife should make the narration interesting by chatting with you and commenting on the issues. If she cannot do thst, let her not accompany in the trips.

Japan seem so clean and organized. Very disciplined people.
Wow, I’m speechless on this beautiful stroll with U2. Thanks & hope to revisit Japan one day.
Glad you enjoyed 😁

thanks for the Miyajima tour. it feels like i'm actually there walking the streets and island
Glad you enjoyed!

Big fan of your high quality videos!

Beautiful miyajima island, thanks for the tour! Big thumbs up!

Many thanks!
I miss that place... thanks i love it...
We were here last year and loved the island. Beautiful place.
It really is :)
Wow, it's a nice place to visit!! Please enjoy staying in Japan!!! 👍

Folding bikes would be perfect for travelling to places like that.
We were thinking that during our trip
Thank you both for the intersting tour.
Our pleasure!
Nice slow and cozy tour. I planned to go here as well.
i really enjoy it, but its a bit shame that you dont eat much at that island lol.
Thank you for sharing! I went here 4 years ago and it’s like reliving my memories ❤️
私は動画を観ていたら牡蠣小屋（oyster hut）へ行きたくなった～！広島は遠いから三重県の牡蠣小屋へ行こうと思います。宮島の思い出は鹿に時刻表を食べられたり、手焼きのもみじ饅頭を食べたり厳島神社の厳かさに感動したりと懐かしい思い出があります。もう25年前の思い出です。

Thank you! 😁 The overcast was a nice break from the heat
What a cool place. Nice to have it all to yourselves. Too bad about the gate but those things happen. Still a fun place to visit
Yep, it was nice to travel with less people around :)
I stopped at the same bakery on my way to Miyajima in 2018 :) Good memories
Stickers on the utility pole was so familiar. See this in many of the cities I explore in the United States. As usual, I enjoyed walking with you two. And DON'T eat the red beans...

@@TwoWheelCruise you’re welcome Cruise.
Nice to see this Island , I have been there with my wife (she's from Taiwan🇹🇼) in Oct. 2018😊
good film 👍 greets from the North of Germany
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
If you have a JR rail pass, you can ride the ferry to Miyajima for free. Hiked Mt Misan in 2018, awesome view from the top. The white bird is an Egret, nice vid Cruise
Good point about the JR pass!
I enjoyed your video tour...kind of sad (or perhaps not) that it's not crowded with people...Hope you'll get your 50k subscribers soon!
Thanks! Almost there 😁
Hi! Greetings from Finland! You re doing superb footage! Thanks that!
Thanks! :)
Unbelievably quiet in Miyajima, is always teeming with peoples over there. I camped the other corner.
It helped being a weekday :)
Great video. I plan on going to japan as soon as it's safe to travel again and your videos help.
Thanks! I hope it opens up soon!
Congrats on the 50k subs/booze!
Thanks! 😁
What of camera you used?
It’s very good !
Beautiful place to visit 👍
Gopro 8 🙂
Thanks for another great video!
Could the horizontal tree trunk display at 42:55 have been part of a torii replaced in a long ago restoration?
That makes sense!
Lovely tour. Thank you both.🙂
Thanks! 😁
Great Tour! We also do tours of Cambodia. All the best wishes.
In my only trip (till now) to Singapore, the damn Merlion statue, pretty much the only thing that Singapore be recognized for, was under construction like that. Yep, that is my luck.
Hello guys..I like your blog so much..
Glad you like them!
Just found your channel ! Great stuff
Welcome aboard!

Haven't been there!
@@TwoWheelCruise Thank you for reaction.

BTW, 定休日 is Teikyu-bi. But always I’m impressed how fluent you are!
Thanks! I'm not sure why I read it wrong 😅 my Japanese gets messed up when I'm thinking in English..
Miyajima é muito bonito e tem muitos lugares para passear !
You know doing this kind of trip, folding bikes are the best.
Would've been perfect!
I've seen that bridge to the shrine from the other end. It's really steep the other end and looks almost unusable
Really want to go to Japan with my family and see the more rural areas but as we do not speak any Japanese apart from basic greetings etc I wonder if it would be a struggle? Really enjoy the channel 👍
It's very easy to get around with just English ;)

Hello ... What camera are you using for this walking video? Very steady and clear. Are you using a Camera Gimbal? If so what is it? thanks
Just holding a Gopro Hero 8 :)
@@TwoWheelCruise WOW ... thank you for the quick reply.
judging on how you and people dress , is it still that warm ? i would love that.

@@TwoWheelCruise That's something to look forward to, if you can find the time. I guess that won't be easy. Good luck!
Come on people, sub so Cruise can drink! lol! Nice tour guys! Beautiful island.
today it is 49.4k, hopefully it will reach 50 by your next video.
I had asked many of my friends to subscribe, but yet not completed the 50 eheheh
Thanks! Almost there! :)
Name of the guy in english: Crane!!
No, it's a Heron or Egret (also a Heron).
would you happen to know anywhere i could buy a nice full suspension emtb like a haibike or cube in japan? going crazy trying to locate a dealer here.
Sorry, I'm not familiar with their distributors
@@TwoWheelCruise bummer. thanks for the reply.
what did you come to Japan for?
wow, not much change in 25 years.
Love your videos of your trips around Japan. Hope you reach your sub goal soon 🍺🍺🍺
Thanks! 😃 Almost there
How about temperature there?
Nice and cool at first, then the humidity came.
hi, enjoy your video, thanks. but, to be curious and picky, doe 'jima' means island? if so, should it be just Miyajima, no need to add 'island'. Anyway, not a big deal, and enjoy it, that is what count.
Yes, stuff like this often happens when foriegn places are translated to English
hahaha those Pesky deer. hahaha
Thuong is ob bored. That bird is called egret.
That white bird is a Heron i think.
WoW
:)
It's called a heron.

A lot of comments saying she looks Japanese, she seriously looks South Asian af! These people need to stop patronizing you.
Imagine World war z in that creepy subway
Tell her to walk more slowly. She is spoiling your video. Send her home.
You guys must have an incredible caloric burn considering your intake and that you're incredibly fit. Or I'm a terminal chair potato...
Probably pretty high, but we have our lazy days too :)
you have to be professional, you don't let her or someone blocking all the good scenery in front of the camera. She should walk behind.
Ingat.... Ada allah....

Your wife should make the narration interesting by chatting with you and commenting on the issues. If she cannot do thst, let her not accompany in the trips.
I am not impressed. Moreover, you talk too fast for one to follow you at a pace.
