- I travelled to Northern Japan for a Japanese homestay experience! Today I learned about work on the farm and did some cooking with my homestay family. If you're visiting Japan I highly recommend staying with a homestay family while you're here!

I can tell your host really enjoyed having you there! She probably misses having a daughter around to take care of, cook for, and teach. It looks like you guys had a nice time!
That old lady seems so awesome :D
"I'm sorry my cooking is so amazing"
That lady is a gangster!
+Veggie Gamer Hahaha isn't she great
Veggie Gamer AHH Veggie-chan ohayo!
Veggie Gamer She deserves a medal
s
It kind of makes me uncomfortable when people brag about themselves. But it really shouldn't. If someone is amazing at something and put a lot of effort into it, they should be able to be proud of their work.
she seems like such a sweet old lady! I just want to hug her lol
I love how Japan put English on all their sign so foreigner can read them...Majority of the European countries don't do that. Great country.
rsxteufel I am thinking about moving to Japan
They just started doing that because of the Olympics
@@indigoimouto3703 actually they have been doing it since japan became a tourist attraction
Japan is wonderful place.
Probably because Japanese is a little hard to read, and any European language can be read by any other European? All you need is google translate, which is not gonna work for Japanese
she seems like such a sweet and patient hostess. I'm falling in love with japan.
This brought back some very sweet memories. I did a sort of homestay in Okayama prefecture last year (I volunteered at their - small - candy making business and helped on the farm in return for food and housing). The food I had there was the best I've ever eaten anywhere. And I harvested rice! ... oh the memories haha
that sounds incredible!
soshiramyun I didn't know any japanese at all, but my host family spoke english quite well. But I think Sharla mentioned somewhere that she didn't speak much japanese when she did her first homestay as a teenager, and the family didn't speak english, and it was fine too. I think you learn a lot that way, and you can always find a way to communicate. Basically just keep an open mind and everything will be fine :)
Did you volunteer via WWOOF?
_The ending almost made me cry_ XD
Rosie me too 😳
Rosie it's making me tear up. I don't even know why😭
Rosie I definitely teared up... it was very sweet :')
_It felt like family_ ;-;
same T-T
MY CABBAGES
+Toph I was legit thinking that the entire time she was talking about them haha
LOL
Toph lol! Nice!
Toph YXUEUEEUHVGICIRXFIRIT IM CRYING
😂😂😂😂
Stop making me want to travel to every inch of Japan! I only have so much money! I need a well paying job (and Japanese classes) so I can travel to Japan and go everywhere.
@3:42 The grandmother saying "Oh! There's something else in this fertilizer. My husband might have made a mistake."
TheJollytommy haha uh oh!! ( ꒪⌓꒪)
Were there any potatoes on that farm?
My cousin would love those cabbages, he love cabbages so much he travel the world with his cabbage cart.
Viet Lee at the sakamoto edge
Viet Lee MY CABAGES
NOT MY CABBAGES!
hate these cabbage carts. I always knock them over.
Just a fangrell i just spent like 20 minutes laughing at this I knew it was avatar the second I looked at it
Thank you for valuing Japanese culture, countryside, and food.
I feel like crying. I wish my family was like this. Envy you so much. Japanese people are so kind.
おばあちゃんの家が仙北市なので、仙北市って聞いてびっくりしました！秋田のごはん、本当に美味しいですよね！実は海の幸も美味しいんですよ！
おばあちゃんの家が恋しくなりました…！素敵な動画をありがとうございます！
When I was in Japan recently I was thinking how much I'd like to visit someone's house and experience Japanese home cooking! It looks really good!
Cakes with Faces zzz C
I love how your videos always show a different part of the Japanese culture. Its my dream to go there someday, so I hope to do the things you are doing now. Thank you for sharing this! Your videos help keep my dream of going to Japan :)
hii
So... Im hormonal and for some reason when you gave her the gifts at the end and said your thanks i cried lol.
SoulSolaris lol girl same
SoulSolaris i thought i was alone. . .
not really cried,just..wet eyes..cries inside :')
okaasan o tanjobi omedetto
same mee tooo
l really love japanese people and their culture
This looks like such an adorable family/house. I want to hug every one of them.
世界中の家庭で、「家庭の味」「おふくろの味」はこんな風に受け継がれていくのが当たり前かもしれませんが、とても幸せなことですよね。教える親にとっても、教わる子にとっても。
I don’t know why, but your speech made me cry 😢
I really felt the love you guys shared and the amazing connection you had😍
She is is a great person I love both of you😢❤️😍
Seeing her listening to the letter at the end made my heart happy TT-TT Such sweet happiness
I want to go Japan so bad been dream about it since was like 15 year old 💖 ☺😍🌸✈
Selena Davison yah I want to go too been my dream also since I saw a bunch of her vids
Selena Davison I want you to come to Japan👍
ゴディン I wish don't have that money go heard it lot 💵💵
😓
Selena Davison It's definitely expensive, but oh so worth it. It's so much fun and once you go there, you'll never want to go back home. Haha. I went to Japan back in 2012 for vacation. Went to all the popular cities, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, etc. Such an experience. Loved it. Now I'm going back for a second time, next year, this time to Hokkaido. Someday soon, I am hoping to move over there. My Japanese isn't great, but that's one of the many reasons why I want to go and live there for a while.
I love how humble and sweet you are towards your hosts. I know some foreign students in Japan who would've made snide remarks about the farming experience & their homestay not being like a "5 star hotel" :(
Ahh, I love videos like this! It's so nice to see real-life things, not just "oh Japan, u crazy" things.
私は秋田県民です。素朴な家庭料理や秋田を紹介してもらって本当に嬉しいです。何よりシャーラが秋田に来てくれて、楽しい時間を過ごしてくれた事が本当に嬉しいです。シャーラ、ありがとう！！春は桜、夏は夏祭りに花火、秋は紅葉、冬は冬まつり、秋田ももれなく色んなキレイがあるのでまた来てね^^
This is too cute :')) The people you stayed with are adorable and Japan's family farms are so charming
Okaasan is so very sweet. This looks like it was such an amazing experience. I loved the video. :-)
Haha the Kawai family, how perfect.
Man, I'd love to do a homestay in Tohoku! It's crazy to hear Akita-ben too, I'd have no idea what they're saying, I'm so used to Kyushu-ben. Haha.
Let's go do one together!! I wanna go again, hahaha
Sharla in Japan i was wondering how old u where when u first went?
Hi Sharla. I lived in Japan for 3 years when I was a kid. Thank you so much for share the real japanese lifestyle. 👏
Definitely,one of your best videos, I really enjoyed it! Blessings from Mexico!
I'm 15 and can't wait to travel to Japan it's my dream ❤️
That lady is so cute, she really melts my heart...I can't quite explain this feeling but I see her as if she was my grandmother, my real grandmother...it's impossible because I already have two grandmothers and because I'm Italian...but when I see her my heart melts in the same way as it melts when I go to my grandmother.
That lady is adorable and special to me❤️
Aww I really loved this! Country life in Japan is always romanticised... but I am starting to think it is truly magical in the country there :) thank you for sharing this alternate part of Japan! :) you are a fantastic blogger. You could be a travel agent on TV!
Your okaasan seemed so sweet!
日本語本当にうまいですね😆👍💞
I'm a new fan and I've been going through a lot of your older videos in all of your channels, it has been a fun and educational way to pass the hours in the days of "social distancing". I love that your ability with the language allows us to see a lot of real, genuine interaction, and better appreciate the culture and the people. My only regret is that with all the travel restrictions I can't immediately go and do all the things!
This was so lovely to watch! What an amazing experience!
日本のいい所をいっぱい伝えて下さってありがとう。
FASTEST 13 MINUTES OF MY LIFE :O I thoroughly enjoyed this video, great work Sharla!
分かりやすいし、見ててすぐに美味さとか気持ちが伝わる❗️
素敵な女性ですね☺️
it's so cute because sharlas nose goes pink when she tastes spicy food
She's so cute at the end i almost cried :')
This might be one of my favourite videos of yours! Such a great glimpse in the japanese culture. Okaasan is so nice and her food looks amazing. Im drooling here!😋 Im looking forward to part 2 but how can it top okaasan and farm life? Thank you so much for this video 💕
The end of this brought me to tears.
THIS LOOKS SO FUN!!!
Ahhh this video was so sweet! Food, farming, and Japan! I love it!
I'm not vegetarian but would enjoy that dinner to its fullest. Looks so good! And I could put away more than just one piece of tomato 😄 The okaasan is so lovely! 💖
Sharla I love videos like these. I was an exchange student for a year in Yokohama and videos with subtitles help me to keep up with my English even after I went back to my homecountry.
It was very beautiful, delicate, well-done video also very professional work. Amazing job.
I'm am full of awe, and envy, when she has bitten the persimmon! OMG! I'm so fond of it! I even planted one in a pot, for smaller patio gardens! I have to be in Japan!
Sharla, this video is great!! I absolutely LOVED the introduction! Learning/Trying out new formats? Looking more and more "professional"! When I get to Japan, I'm definitely spending my time in Tohoku! I laughed at the "176th time you've heard oiishi". ;) Can't wait for part two!!
What a wonderful thing to be doing and the lady's willingness to share her life with you. Fantastic. I wish I had done such things in my youth . Thank you for posting
I find it somehow funny how humanity gets used to people running around talking to a camera all the time. Did the family find it weird or did you have to go through some kind of difficulties due to your filming in open places (like trains, cafes, restaurants...)? Not the official sort of difficulties, more like people complaining to you about your filming or something of the sorts? Good video btw. was very fun to watch! Kepp up your great work!
I've been wondering about that too.
You're alittle late... that was the curiousity a few years ago for now its every kid with their face in a phone and talking to mid air.
Slowlaire I
You are so sweet. I’m a homestay mum and I can bet they loved you.....what a sweetheart and a good homestay mum you are. I have a Japanese girl coming soon.
I feel like I'm way too picky of an eater to ever do a homestay
Emma same, I just don't like many things
i feel the same. But that would be a good experience for me, maybe i'll stop being so picky xD
I find most green vegetables really bitter, so i struggle with those. but i'll eat anything else xD. Maybe it's cuz i'm 15 and my taste buds haven't fully developed or something but i can't handle bitter food
Emma same
PASTAAAAAAAA!!!(o^^o) you could be a supertaster, or someone who finds lots of foods (like spinach, cabbage, grapefruit, coffee etc.) to be more bitter than the average person. Also, some substances (like one called PTC) taste flavorless to the average person, but super bitter to a supertaster
You have such a good heart Sharla, I am a Filipino musician who lived half of my life in Japan as an entertainer during my younger years. Like yourself, I fell in love with this amazing place the moment I first set foot on its soil many years back. I am now a Canadian leaving a wonderful life in Toronto with my family. I hope you continue to do more vlogs about the second home I've known all my life. Thanks for bringing back memories.
My Mom & Grandma would love you as a guest at their table. You loved their food, were very complimentary!
oh my God I want to try every single food that is on the table, and your Japanese is so good
Okaasan smiles like an angel👼
This look so cute c: The people there are so sweet, bet the food tastes amazing! Reminds me of my grandma's vegatable garden back home hehe! I kinda freaked out when I saw you used Break The Silence in the beginning, it's my boyfriend's song haha! (he kinda freaked out too bc he knows I love your videos so much hehe!)
+Nele Nayla Ahhh it's one my faves!!! Tell him thank you for the awesome music!! :D :D
I love watching and 'taking part' in your experience… I've been told by Japanese people 'I am very Japanese' what does that mean? I've asked after those who've said this and they always smile wide and say I will understand when I get to Japan one day… I'm not as young as you are and think going to Japan is in the far off future… so if you could enlighten me that would be great! :)
I love it when Sharla goes on really authentic Japanese adventures.
I have a persimmon tree in my backyard. I got the house a year ago, I was so happy to see that it was already established in the back yard. It's about 8 feet tall. I didn't get too many this year, but it's really cool to get any at all. I have the hachiya ones, which are really really not good to eat unless super ripe, but they are worth the wait. - I live in a Portland, OR suburb. I've never seen a persimmon tree in the area before the one I now have.
I may end up going to Japan for a year in October to study Japanese after I live in California for a bit. I'm a big fan of learning new skills, super cool that you got to do this! Also from Canada; Ottawa :)
やべー
今Canadaにいるけど、食べ物が恋しくてたまらない！
でも海外の人にここまで気に入ってもらえると、こっちも気持ちが良いね
帰ったらめちゃめちゃ食うわ！
Enjoying Japan!!!
食パンですら恋しい...

I would like to start off by thanking you. I recently just found your channel; throughout the time, I have been watching videos of your experiences. When I was 17, my dream was to move to Japan and start a new life there, that dream led onto until after I was 18. My life revolved around wanting to move to Japan, or even have it as a place I can resort to in any given situation. I lost all aspirations of going or even living there. Thankfully, your channel has revived those dreams of mine, even while I'm at my lowest right now. I now aspire to continue working towards my dream of living in Japan or even a situation where I can buy a home there and go whenever I would like to. I love your personality, it has brought a smile to my face and reminded me that anything is possible. Thank you.
You did Canada proud Sharla. Nice video.
I love persimmons! My mouth watered when I saw them instantly
they must be cute
get it cuz theyre called the kawai family sorry
Aidan Quillen that is exactly what I thought rsrsrs
ほんとに おいしそう 日本人でもいろいろ勉強になります！日本の良いところをたくさん配信してくれて ありがとうございます！応援してます。
japanese society is very very different than ours, i love your video's
i just realized this is the life i want, a farm with fresh veggies and homemade everything
sharla you look just like an 90'S anime character with the head scarf ")
Your home stay seems so nice. The family is so sweet. Something about working on the farm is just so ideal to me
Hey guys!! Hope you enjoyed this video! Part 2 will be up same time tomorrow so watch for it :) Please give this video a thumbs up if you liked it, TH-cam "glitches" are making it really hard on a lot of channels recently but leaving thumbs up/comments/sharing our videos can really help us out! Arigatou~!!! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ ♡ Info about applying for your own Homestay experience is in the description box!
Sharla in Japan this video is so heartwarming I teared up! Can't wait for part 2! Thank you Sharla!
I cried at how lovely this video was. It has been my dream most of my life to go to Japan since I saw a geisha doll when I was a small child. I doubt I will ever be well enough to go now, so I cherish this kind of look at the. Beautiful country. Thank you xxx Rose
I found myself tearing up in the end as well! What a wonderful experience :')
Sharla in Japan thank you so much for the videos!! its nice to see a whole other part of Japan and to truly see the culture through your videos. thank you so much!❤
Sharla in Japan
Sharla, Thank you for all the wonderful videos you share of the northern region of Japan! My boyfriend, his friend and I are planning a trip to Japan this upcoming March (a first for all us of) and I wanted to see the beautiful northern region on my trip. Your videos over the years have given me some great destination ideas and I REALLY appreciate you linking sites in this videos description to help me with my planning for this region. :) Especially since I'm a little overwhelmed and lost when trying to figure out how to get where and where to go. Haha Thank you again for the information. Much love! -Danielle
That lady was just adorable
hey Sharla your video editing skills are amazing...the intro was so great! i enjoyed watching your video. ^_^
Lovely video! Thank you very much for showing😊🇯🇵🌸
Japan used to be vegetarian/vegan country before they started eating meat, which is only something like 100-150 years old.
Sharla you are so lucky to learn such amazing things. I'm glad you share some of your experiences with us.....ありがとう
the orange fruit you were eating(?) at the starts, we have them in Italy too. but we call them "cachi" lol
Yandy Bangtan we also have them in America we call them "persimmons" here
606 choi also known as Sharon fruit in the U.K. Don't know why! Unsure why Sharon is hogging them all! 😄
Yandy Bangtan in Brazil it is called caqui xD very close to the Italian word for it
地方活性ありがとうございました！！また楽しみにしてます！！！！
It was really lovely to watch. Thank you for sharing 😘
Btw, why are you deleting some of your old videos?
ghaida h what! No. I hope she have not removed some of my favourites!
I've made a playlist of lots of her videos. I like to play them while I'm getting ready. And I've noticed some are missing. Some I liked a lot. I hope you don't miss some of your favourites too.
The old lady is so adorablee
Holy crap! I loved this, Sharla! I want to do a homestay. (One problem: now I'm starving, and nothing in the fridge). This was great. I'm so sick of apartment tours and all the regular J-youtube stuff. This was really fun.
BTW, youtube unsubbed me, but I don't know for how long. It seems like a long time since I've seen one of your videos. I subbed again a couple of days ago. I hope it sticks.
+Silvie Monk good to have you back!! Are you subbed to Micaela? She always makes beautiful videos about her area of Japan (that aren't apartment tours) haha
I wasn't subbed to her, but I am now. Thanks!
The old lady reminds me of my Obasan from Oita. Her cooking is the best especially her famous karaage or fried chicken which is my favorite. Her family actually manages a little karaage stall. I missed her! 😍
Sharla, how do you find a host family like this, when you are not a student?
Emily Nelson I heard they're websites that advertise them,
All in the description box ☺️
素敵な体験ができたね♪
動画アップ、ありがとうございます！
応援してます！
Haha did you say the kawaii family lol
Okaasan is so sweet and funny! Glad you had such a good time there.
Did they make everything vegan for you or is it just the way they usually eat? :O
She said it was her first time cooking completely vegan, but in general it doesn't differ much from their usual diet! She replaced the fish broth with mushroom broth, so I think that was the biggest difference for her :)
Sharla in Japan wow that's pretty amazing, that she was willing to accommodate for you, and how they eat so healthy, btw everything looked super delicious and she looked like such a nice person
Sharla in Japan it looks so AMAZING!!
I am so jealous all of that vegan food looks absolutely delicious!!
Sharla in Japan ughhh, veganism is stupid and unhealthy
@@wallacesousuke1433 its not unhealthy, it just lacks protein
My respects to her and the others who farm. It's actually hard work. It's so rewarding knowing the food one eats, you helped grow. The spread looked delicious.
i would love to do a homestay on a farm like that :) i would work so hard but my health is not so great so i don't think that will ever happen :'(
chaver28 aw. I hope you can reach your dreams some day ^^
thank you :D i hope so to
10 months late, but i hope your health has improved and that you can stay on a farm and eat good food as you wish! It is good for the soul 😊
chaver28 what is your problem? If I may ask, of course ;)
Me too but I am sick with a blood disease didn't let me finish college
こういうの見ると、食べる事は生きる事だなあって改めて思うね。
And I thought food in anime looked good XD
This video makes me want to believe in the beautifullness of life
Wow I'm so damn jealous of all the food there Sharla! Damn xD
It looks like you speak Japanese so well. It must feel very empowering to talk to the locals in their own language.
