    That performer was such a good sport about Norm trolling him.
    The man was full of support, "oh sugoi" and then Norm showed his true talent and the performer was like "....well shit."

    "Jesus died for our sins"
    Well, actually that was his brother Isukiri. Jesus just went to Japan.

    • @loner844
      @loner844 5 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      the thing about this story about Jesus running to Japan, is it seems like a bad fix-it fic. The Japanese in Aomori must have just heard the story of Christ, been dissatisfied by it, and invented their own mythology of what "really" happened.

    I am stationed here in northern Japan in Aomori prefecture. I have to say it’s very hard to find things to do here because everything in Japanese and not many tourists come here. So I’d like to thank you greatly for doing some extra research and finding these spots. Just because of this I think I may head to the cliffs today!

    My daughter lived in Towada and worked through the JET program as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT). Chris was one when he came to Japan as well. I came in the spring and saw the cherry blossoms open and saw Yabusame, which is famous in Towada. For those who don’t know what that is, it’s an ancient way that Samurai practiced their archery skills on horseback, but in Towada this is done only by the women which is an amazing feat of leg control over the horse as you have to use both hands to load your bow with arrows as you gallop down a narrow path and hopefully hit three separate targets. Aomori has a horse culture, and I love horses which together with the first day of Honomi (Cherry blossom viewing) was my favorite thing I say while visiting my daughter. The ride we took to Lake Towada was through the mountains which had a spectacular view and ended up driving through a gorge with fast moving streams and over large rocks which made driving with windows open to enjoy the sounds of the rushing water. Then at Lake Towada we enjoyed a bit of hiking as well. One last place we went to was Hachinohe ( which means the eighth gate) and drove up to see a point on the coast where sea gulls gather on an off shore island in the hundreds and it was so windy that all they needed to do was spread their wings and they could just use the winds to hover right above your heads. Warning: many people bring umbrellas as because of the volume of Sea Gulls overhead, they often will relieve themselves whenever so head protection is advised if you want to enjoy being right up close and personal. I was lucky, I didn’t bring an umbrella, just a hat but remained unscathed throughout.
    So that’s my story of my first trip up to the largest apple producing prefecture in Japan with a drive through the mountains, the view of one of Aomori’s largest lakes as well as driving through the gorge to get there, the viewing of Cherry bloom trees, watching the ladies doing Yabusame under these beautiful trees, and enjoying some unusual, up close and personal encounters of hundreds of Sea Gulls.
    Aomori is not densely populated but there are a lot of places to enjoy if you get the chance to come all the way up to the last prefecture in the northeastern part of Honshu Island. ❤️❤️❤️

    Isukiri “casually” took Christ’s place and ended his life on the cross.
    🤔🤨🙄
    So the people that crucified him couldn’t tell the difference between a Jewish man and a Japanese man?
    Of course, Jesus had no problem letting his “brother” die for him and then running away to Japan to live in hiding for 70+ years.

We're planning our fourth family trip to Japan, in no small part due to the inspiration you guys keep give us. Thank you for all you do, our lives are richer because of you.

    In my opinion, the weather in winter will be great like no clouds but the sun in eastern Tohoku. The reason is that there is a mountain range called Ou Sanmyaku(奥羽山脈) and the mountains shut out the clouds from the west like a huge wall. On the other hand, the western Tohoku has heavy snow though ❄️

    Norm is amazing as he plays, wow! Hope you guys never stop the road trip, I really enjoy it :) I know we can't have just now another 3 months of biking like what Chris did... but still, seeing all these, while I'm also planning our next year trip to North Japan, inspiring, and amazing!

    Osore san, hell's gate in Northern Aomori and also Misawa airbase during their open day event. Lots of nice onsens, for example on iwakiyama, aoni onsen near kuroishi, wani onsen, lots of game sokou's, Mainomi's birthtown on the west coast has a sumo museum.

    I love the fact you're doing videos about travelling in Northern Japan ! It seems like it's not a very touristy place compared to the Kansai or the Kanto regions and I'm always happy when I see videos about Tohoku 😁
    I loved this region when I traveled to Japan and I would say that my favorites things were : Matsushima, Yamadera, Akiu Onsen, Shiogama (near Sendai) and Nokkedon fish market in Aomori where you can make custom donburi, Lake Tazawa and last but not least, the Pikachu Train ! I keep discovering new places thanks to your videos and I hope I'll have the chance to travel to Japan again and visit all the places you've mentioned 😍 (btw, sorry if i make mistakes, english is not my native language)

    After watching you, Chris, Norm, and TC before travelling to Japan, it's super surreal to see you going to places that we've now visited! I loved Aomori City and we stumbled upon Ringo Bako by accident when we were very hungry. Sadly we didn't get to see any live shamisen but it's still a cool (and tasty) place to eat

    Best spot in northern Japan, and top two for me in all of Japan, is hands down Hirosaki. It's castle ground with the best botanical garden I have ever seen and various museums fascinated me. I can only recommend everyone to go there!

    Go to western Aomori! Tsugaru is great!
    Jodogahama is pretty good looking in the winter too. I stayed at Jodogahama Park Hotel in January. Easily the best views I've ever seen at a hotel. It would be more fun in the summer though.

    This is a fun trip. I'm going to Japan for the first time in April, and now I'm feeling regret that I didn't plan anything north of Miyagi. Next time! I'll have to come back in October for the red leaves. ✌️

    Loved this! Yes, fall is an amazing time to see Japan! We were in Osaka/Kyoto in late November and everything was deep red and orange. Spectacular.
