DeeZaster Heh, I have a similar plan, I've been learning too and if all goes to plan I hope to get the funds to live there for a year, while I'm young, after my uni degree ends in two years time :p I feel like its the best time to go, before I commit to a job, and 22 seems to me like a good age to really enjoy it !
When I went to Japan, it was near the end of my month long trip and I decided to go from Hiroshima to Kinosaki Onsen (a bit of an impractical route considering I was around Kyoto/Osaka before--but I had the rail pass). I stayed at this nice small ryokan and it was incredible. It was just me and the family was so friendly! The food was amazing. You could also reserve the bath privately for up to 45 mins so I took advantage of that. It was such a cute, quiet town and you could see fireflies by the river at night. I remember when I had to leave the owner offered to drive me to the station and, on the way, he stopped at locations and took pictures of me. It was one of the highlights of my trip and I would go back in a heartbeat.
There is a stereotype that Japanese men are not affectionate and are not romantic but your hubby definitely proves that stereotype wrong! You two are so sweet and loving to each other it warms my heart! Bless you two
I don't know how long you two have been together, but the love between you two is tangible even through the Internet! When he gets lost just watching you, it makes me smile. You kind of remind me of me and my husband... we're still silly together, we laugh every day, and we're still disgustingly in love, even after 23 years together. We're weird, though. 😊
Absolutely, Ryosuke! You have to get older, but you don't have to give up having fun. You also support Grace so well when she's feeling poorly, and that reminds me of my husband as well. I hope you two can continue to fall more in love for the rest of your lives!
It looks amazing, I bet you had a wonderful time together! But what I find the most adorable about this vlog is the fact that Ryosuke tells you so often that you're beautiful! You guys really love each other :)
deadlyneko64 Ikr! they have a super adorable relationship. I hope one day that i am that blessed in my relationships. you as well(if you aren't in one already.)
I believe you Ryosuke, but that's soooo cute :) To be honest it's almost impossible to hear a guy in Poland saying to his wife/girlfriend that she's beautiful, it's more like ,,you're so sexy" or ,,what a nice ass" than ,,oh honey, you're so beautiful" :)
+deadlyneko64 That will depend on the girl i guess. I was extremely sweet to my Polish girlfriend but she was not the type that loved me calling her beautiful and sweet.
I am loving the super amazing quality and 'realness' to your videos! So happy you and Ryosuke decided to share this with us. I felt relaxed just watching ~
Grace I really love how your videos strike the perfect balance between sharing a genuine, lived personal experience and being educational/informative enough to not lose interest. That's why you're my first subscribed to vlogger!
I've been to about 4 Ryokan's when i went to Japan last year. So i'd like to point out that not every Ryokan has 1 or 2 people speaking english. So i'd suggest keeping that in mind. But the experience i've had with was relaxing and really nice and polite staff members and such.
you're the only Japanese blogger I'm intrigued by I've never watched another ones entire video set because they've never been interesting enough you show cool stuff like the countryside of Japan and nature not just whatever is on the Tokyo streets. it's like the country's heritage, very intriguing
That looks like such an amazing place to visit. It seems like you guys find such great spots to show off the true spirit of Japan. Keep up the good work.
Unbelievableone1987 Hmm I'm not sure. You may do that when you can't complete a sentence in the other language, or you may just choose whatever words coming to your mind, idk.
It sometimes happens to me when I speak my native language (German) that I accidently use English words instead of German ones. I think it could be that you are thinking more in sense behind words than the language itself and sometimes randomly use words that fit in sense but not in the right language. Grace used the particle "ne" instead of "...right?!" which would be the English equivalent didnt she? Feel free to correct me and thank you for your time and effort :D
Unbelievableone1987 A word comes to your mind. It suits your conversation context. Then you can't think of another word in another language... That happens to me since the time I wasn't fluent in English so I didn't think the phenomenon is a fluency indicator.
thank you for making videos. you do such a fantastic job capturing the beauty of everywhere you go. this was a good video to whatch before i go to bed. i feel relaxed now. Thank you so much Grace and Ryosuke!
I love ryokan! The last one I've been to was in Ufuein in kyuushu. It was beautiful. The kaiseki dinner was amazing and came in several courses and the breakfast was served in a gigantic bento box, everything presented beautifully. Both meals served private in our room. Your video was so relaxing to watch! Thanks for taking us with you!
This is ammmmmazing! And you guys' happy faces are awwwwwwesome! You know what? You guys have this magical power that makes your viewers just as happy by simply showing that you're having a good time!!! Thanks for making me happy again! ❤️
I loved watching how happy you guys were eating the food! We get to live vicariously through you guys so...ARIGATOU!!! Thank you for taking us with you!!! :)
I'm sooo jealous right now! That Ryokan looked really nice to stay at, not to mention the food looked delicious. I can't wait to visit amazing places like these :)
There must be a word that describes being able to taste something just by how delicious it looks! You two looked so happy at this ryokan I couldn't help but smile along with you!
It warms the heart to see you both so happy! That food looks gorgeous. I really hope I can visit one day because that place looks dreamy! Thank you for sharing! Arigato!
If you all put in your Patron that you'll go review a ryokan like this every two months or so I would most definitely tribute!! What a wonderful experience to watch!
oooh wouah !! ok, next time I go to Japan I'll definitely go to a ryokan ! your video made me want to even more the before ! thank you Grace and Ryosuke for always making me see all the beauties of Japan than I need to explore !
Great video. The only bad thing about it is that I live so far away I will probably never get to experience this type of hotel. At least I get to live vicariously through your video! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
we stayed at Hotel Senkei Yamagaso while in Hakone! staying at a ryokan was my favorite experience during our vacay in japan, hands down...more than the life size gundam....and i LOVE gundam! thanks for the vid
It must be nice not to get accused of cultural appropriation when wearing traditional clothing and being a westerner, Japanese people understand the concept of respect that is shown by a person being willing to absorb their traditions.
I don't think you understand how cultural appropriation works. If a Japanese person comes to America and goes to a football game and eats pizza, no one accuses them of appropriation. If Japanese person dressed up as a white person or native american person or indian person in Japan, that would be a better example.
sean sjahrial I don't think you understand that I don't understand the difference between your example and mine. =P ... but don't worry, I don't actually want to understand, I don't actually believe in cultural appropriation, it's just some SJW bollox to make people feel guilty about unimportant shit. Emulation is the sincerest form of flattery in any case.
But what does it mean to "dress up like a white person?" Or what does it mean to "dress up like X" in general? If a Japanese person wears a duster and cowboy boots because they enjoy the way they look, or because they saw them in an American movie, does this mean that they are stealing from American culture, or does it simply mean that they are taken by the exotic look and what it represents to them? Who is actually diminished by this exchange? Who is diminished if Katy Perry wears a Kimono or paints her face to resemble a Geisha? It's unlikely that Katy Perry or her fans understand what Geisha means to Japanese, but that's not the point. Katy Perry is not pretending that she is Japanese or represents Japan, she is only modeling a look or a feel that she or her fans find to be interesting. The idea that culture is a static object that belongs to some and not to others, that it can be "stolen" or "appropriated" is truly baffling to me, because it shows a fundamental ignorance of what culture is, how it comes to be, and how it evolves and transmits.
Culture appropriation is more like people recreating something from another culture and not really understanding the meaning behind it, but when the minority does it it is viewed negatively or frowned upon. for example... a white person wearing a native american headdress as a costume for Halloween or in a music video but traditionally it is supposed to be worn in ceremonies, now if that person were to wear it in a ceremony it would not be considered cultural appropriation even tho it is still a white person wearing it. I hope this helps and this was a very vague explanation :P I do understand however that sometimes people just want to experience different cultures, if someone tries to understand the meaning behind it and wear it appropriately there's absolutely nothing wrong with it in my mind :-)
I just love your videos. Going to Japan has been a life long dream of mine. Having your insight and what too do and not to do is so going to help me enjoy and pick activities that I had no alternative to learning about outside of your youtube channel. Thankyou so very much......please keep posting.You guys are awesome!
I'm not sure how I came across your channel, but I genuinely enjoy watching all of the videos. Your both remind me of my time spent living in Osaka. I wish you two happiness and success in the years to come...forever and always! Please never give up on making videos, comics, and art. The one thing that will always be my favorite memory from my time spent in Japan would have to be the similarities between modern alternative/post-hardcore/math rock and other sub genres of the indie/alternative music scene in North America. Believe it or not, I still stay in contact every week with a few of the close friends I made during my stay, and to think...we became friends after several Pokemon trades and battles
I'm beginning to worry I may to stop watching all these J-vloger channels. Grace and Ryosuke being such a lovely, fun couple and the natural, respectful way they tour and explain things does not make it any easier. For months now I have dreams in Japanese (even though I can't even claim to have a conversation grasp of the language, only grab keywords on occasion), I remember places I visited when I lived in Okinawa, and just the other night I even woke up flipped upside down in my bed after an unbelievably nice dream about Japan woke me up. For what it's worth: my deepest thanks to both Grace and Ryosuke for sharing their lives, experience, and family with us on TH-cam. They surely deserve the recognition and success with their books, videos, and blogs. Now to see how many other channels I can enjoy before the pain inside is too much.
Goodness there was a lot of chemistry between you two in this video---and with all those compliments Ryosuke, seems like someone's gonna get pounced after the camera stops rolling :-) Haha but seriously this place was absolutely beautiful! I am so eagerly waiting for my chance to enjoy ryokan! (Not to mention all the other awesome things in Japan.) Only a few weeks of waiting left...cheers!
I want a relationship like you two have. Every time he said that Grace was beautiful or a "pretty lady" I almost cried. Theure such a loving couple
I tell my wife she is pretty or beautiful at least 10 times a day. Never stop telling your partner they look wonderful in your eyes!
Agilancer
With 10 times you are probably 10 times ahead of the typical japanese husband.
Very good comment, though.
All of your videos make me want to learn Japanese and visit Japan.
N00RA96 Do it!
I started learning Japanese 6 months ago and I'm going to move there in 2 years!
At least start it and see how you like it. Good luck!
DeeZaster Heh, I have a similar plan, I've been learning too and if all goes to plan I hope to get the funds to live there for a year, while I'm young, after my uni degree ends in two years time :p I feel like its the best time to go, before I commit to a job, and 22 seems to me like a good age to really enjoy it !
Cloud nyne I'm applying at the JET-programme, you should check it out if you don't already know it!
DeeZaster I haven't heard of it yet :o It seems interesting, what benefits are there applying with them as opposed to going it solo?
When I went to Japan, it was near the end of my month long trip and I decided to go from Hiroshima to Kinosaki Onsen (a bit of an impractical route considering I was around Kyoto/Osaka before--but I had the rail pass). I stayed at this nice small ryokan and it was incredible. It was just me and the family was so friendly! The food was amazing. You could also reserve the bath privately for up to 45 mins so I took advantage of that. It was such a cute, quiet town and you could see fireflies by the river at night.

+Earl Grey Ryokan is the best! I am glad you had such a great time there, private onsen is fantastic too! We need to go stay at more Ryokans!
Ryosuke just seems like the coolest dude to hang out with.
I just love how much ryosuke says how beautiful grace is its so sweet
+toni roberts was searching for this comment ^^
What a beautiful video. What a beautiful couple. How lucky you are! God bless you both.
There is a stereotype that Japanese men are not affectionate and are not romantic but your hubby definitely proves that stereotype wrong! You two are so sweet and loving to each other it warms my heart! Bless you two
I don't know how long you two have been together, but the love between you two is tangible even through the Internet! When he gets lost just watching you, it makes me smile. You kind of remind me of me and my husband... we're still silly together, we laugh every day, and we're still disgustingly in love, even after 23 years together. We're weird, though. 😊
+Laynie Fingers Thanks! That's the true love! Being silly to each other and laughing together are the best! (Ryosuke)
Absolutely, Ryosuke! You have to get older, but you don't have to give up having fun. You also support Grace so well when she's feeling poorly, and that reminds me of my husband as well. I hope you two can continue to fall more in love for the rest of your lives!
Laynie Fingers respectband love for both of u from india
This was a really nice watch...Soothing even just from watching
Nicholas Mahabeer Thanks~! Happy to hear that~
That looks like a great way to kick back and let go of some stress. Also looks like it would be fun to hang with TH-cam's cutest couple.
This looks like one of those experiences that you will never forget in your entire life. So much joy and happiness. Awesome.
I love how Ryoske spontaneously says how beautiful you are! It is so sweet. And I also like watching how much fun you have together.
It looks amazing, I bet you had a wonderful time together! But what I find the most adorable about this vlog is the fact that Ryosuke tells you so often that you're beautiful! You guys really love each other :)
deadlyneko64 Ikr! they have a super adorable relationship. I hope one day that i am that blessed in my relationships. you as well(if you aren't in one already.)
emily yarbrough
Hope you will find love, and me too because for now I'm forever alone :)
deadlyneko64 Awww thanks guys! I just can't be quiet when I see beautiful Grace :D (Ryosuke)
I believe you Ryosuke, but that's soooo cute :) To be honest it's almost impossible to hear a guy in Poland saying to his wife/girlfriend that she's beautiful, it's more like ,,you're so sexy" or ,,what a nice ass" than ,,oh honey, you're so beautiful" :)
+deadlyneko64 That will depend on the girl i guess. I was extremely sweet to my Polish girlfriend but she was not the type that loved me calling her beautiful and sweet.
This video makes me so nostalgic and jealous. So glad you had fun. And it makes me really happy seeing how much you guys enjoy the food you eat.
Awesome video! Looks ridiculously relaxing.
I am loving the super amazing quality and 'realness' to your videos! So happy you and Ryosuke decided to share this with us. I felt relaxed just watching ~
Grace I really love how your videos strike the perfect balance between sharing a genuine, lived personal experience and being educational/informative enough to not lose interest. That's why you're my first subscribed to vlogger!
I just can't stop smiling while watching this! You two are so adorable together! （≧∇≦）
what you said! hahahaXD
Oh man, that looks so relaxing!!! I'm glad you two got to take a nice vacation!!!
jetullos Thank you!! It was just magical~ (Ryosuke)
thank you so much for sharing this experience with us. it looks fantastic.
"We should take everyone's parents here!"
That escalated quickly. LOL!
It's beautiful, another place I must visit. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on everything, you two deserve it.
Sarah Nagorney Thaaaaaanks for saying such nice things :D
Texan in Tokyo Your welcome. Thanks for sharing.

spookyboy Thanks! I hope I will keep making interesting videos :)
I are so lucky almost all your vids make me miss Japan so much...
The little old yukata lady looked so sweet
Aww, how romantic and peaceful!
Really enjoy your videos, and great to see you enjoying all the good thing outside of Tokyo!
Wow , that loud really awesome and relaxing.
wow, that is the most amazing thing ever,! thank you for sharing. it looks like such a heavenly place to visit.
Thank you guys, I did enjoy this vlog sooooooo much!!! If only I could put several thumbs up ...
When they dipped that beautiful beef that I don't have in that sauce that I don't have, my mouth was wide open and I went into depression.
That looks like such an amazing place to visit. It seems like you guys find such great spots to show off the true spirit of Japan. Keep up the good work.
So great that you were able to treat yourselves like this!
Additional note. Grace, your Japanese accent sounds even more natural in this video. 👍🏻
Yoshikazu Hayashi Awww thanks!!
Yoshikazu Hayashi And she starts to add Japanese words to her English sentences as well. Isnt that progress? :D
Unbelievableone1987
Hmm I'm not sure. You may do that when you can't complete a sentence in the other language, or you may just choose whatever words coming to your mind, idk.

It was so relaxing to watch this video Thank you!
Grace you are always doing cool stuff now everyday!! i love it
hey lady I was not being mean at all, youre also attacking people online.
I did not attack you! youre playing the victim! get a hold on reality
lets not bother these nice youtubers with this crazy argument
Wow, that was really nice. Thanks for sharing that with us!
I love ryokan! The last one I've been to was in Ufuein in kyuushu. It was beautiful. The kaiseki dinner was amazing and came in several courses and the breakfast was served in a gigantic bento box, everything presented beautifully. Both meals served private in our room.
Your video was so relaxing to watch! Thanks for taking us with you!
My first visit in japan we went to mt. Fuji and stayed overnight at a ryokan. It was relaxing! I wish I could experience ryokan again
There are some really old ryokans. Some almost 1000 years old! I hope we can go to that same ryokan you guys did. Its fun to watch you guys.
Looks so nice, really relaxing! BTW 11:50 is a great shot!
I love Ryokon‼️ please try others.
You two are literally the best. I feel so upbeat and positive after watching your videos. Please never stop making them :)
Voxed Fox Awww Thanks!! Your comment makes me feel positive too :) (Ryosuke)

Fantastic, it looks very beautiful and relaxing. 8)
I'm sooo jealous right now! That Ryokan looked really nice to stay at, not to mention the food looked delicious. I can't wait to visit amazing places like these :)
There must be a word that describes being able to taste something just by how delicious it looks! You two looked so happy at this ryokan I couldn't help but smile along with you!
That Looks So Relaxing ♨️😄✌️
You can tell how sincere Ryosuke is when he tells you how beautiful you are, especially in the yukata. :3 So sweet. I wish you two so much happiness.
It warms the heart to see you both so happy! That food looks gorgeous. I really hope I can visit one day because that place looks dreamy! Thank you for sharing! Arigato!
Basterdette Awww your comment just made my day~ :) HAPPY~ (Ryosuke)
"We should take everybody's parents here!"
😂😂😂Best part of this video!

Great video. The only bad thing about it is that I live so far away I will probably never get to experience this type of hotel. At least I get to live vicariously through your video! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
You two look so happy and relaxed, need to go to Japan and visit around looks so pretty
Otilia Alexandra Thanks! This ryokan made us so happy~! I hope you would have a great time in Japan in the future~~~ :) (Ryosuke)

When he called her a princess 😊😊😊😊
That looks like fun.

The private bath was my favorite part ever! Holy Wow!!!
This looks so amazing! I'm jealous!
Can we talk about Ryosuke in those glasses though? DAYUM! 😳😂
I love how there are just silent shots of Grace by Ryosuke! You can totally tell he thinks you're beautiful!
Deep Sohelia OH I Believe Grace is the most beautiful woman in the world!! :D (Ryosuke)
:D N'aaawww You cutie! Stay awesome, Ryo-chan!
I Love your travel videos when you two go on vacations places! Please do more of these in 2016. I'd totally patreon you for these kind of videos!
Damn, that looked so nice. Ryosuke's face pretty much sold me on everything. hehe
I just ate breakfast, but after watching this, I'm really hungry now! I remember some amazing meals I had in Japan. I need to go back!
Im excited about them having beautiful children in the future😍😭 I love your videos and your life!
Reminds me of our visit to Japan in July
...i sure do miss the ryokans over there...
thank you for sharing your trip to the Ryokan
Roberto Cuevas I hope you enjoyed this video :)
Goodness there was a lot of chemistry between you two in this video---and with all those compliments Ryosuke, seems like someone's gonna get pounced after the camera stops rolling :-)
Haha but seriously this place was absolutely beautiful! I am so eagerly waiting for my chance to enjoy ryokan! (Not to mention all the other awesome things in Japan.) Only a few weeks of waiting left...cheers!
I agree with everyone, it looks amazing I so want to go. I can't wait to visit Japan!
