@@sharlainjapan they are called university potatoes because the sweet potatoes were filling and cheap, they became a popular snack at universities in Tokyo during the early 1900s.
i can't wait to be able to visit Japan, i am a photographer and i really want to take so many amazng photos , but i am in love with japan and everything about it's culture. also, i LOVE your Jumper, where can i find one?
Daigaku Imo literally means “college potato.” The name comes from the fact that the dish was sold and popular among people in college areas in Tokyo in the early 1900s.
From what I was able to find, the "university potatoes" are currently sold at university festivals around Japan. They were originally sold as an inexpensive snack for cash strapped college students. They originate in Chinese cuisine.
The 雪塩 is from my home town Miyakojima in Okinawa! it’s super powdery and known for the purity and mineral content. You can find them in normal supermarkets all over Japan, but they seem to be struggling from the lack of tourists. If ya’ll have a dime to spare, consider picking up a bag (or some treats) and support a small business:)
I didn't know Chancey's name was Lucky in Japanese. I've always found their name to be kind of odd, since the Pokedex just says how rare they are and they bring happiness, but I guess you're _Lucky_ to have a _Chancey_ at catching one.
I hate how they call vaporeon there -.- Umbreon name despite how I do not like that pokemon, its japanese name is acceptable And espeon name is just horrible Glaceon had the same name if I remember well??
I can see how discussions must go before these trips lol Sharla: "Hey, you wanna come to this cool new place with me? It's got awesome stuff I've never seen before!" Collaborator: "You just want to go because there's a pokemon manhole there, don't you?" Sharla: "... maybe"
I guess the pokemon manhole hunt continues! The pokemon park looks so cute!! The big chansey looks really fun to go up on and I guess yeah, it's for kids so everything is too small for adults. There should be ones for grownups cause we love pokemon, too. XD The cat-related items are adorable!!
I'm really glad I decided to watch both videos after seeing one side of the story, it's really interesting to see what each of you decided to keep in the final edit.
Definitely on my bucket list now!! I literally just finished binge watching your videos all of them! I wish I could sit on the floor and be able to get up because some of these places look really awesome.
TH-cam just recommended your videos, and I have to say I love that they are kinda chill, not to much music, but when it fits very nice. Perfekt to watch and learn something or see new places
I started watching Emma's video on a laptop, came home, opened a browser on the desktop, click on "pokemon park," and say "Oh, this is Sharla's channel," I watched both of them
The Pokémon park alone is reason enough for me to go to Japan! Love your videos Sharla! So glad you had fun. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure!
Stay forever young Sharla! I discovered your videos only a year ago and they are some of my TH-cam favorites. I love seeing all your adventures and hope you (plus friends & family) are doing well. 💖
the video ended too soon!!!! LOL This was such a wonderful video to wake up to! Omg so much fun. I cannot stop thinking about the apples in your last video! You are giving me so many places I want to visit if I ever get a chance to go there one day! I'm especially interested in North Japan so it's fun getting to see you show us some of their highlights!!
Yeah I agree so many interesting places in Japan other than the most popular places there. Yeah the Apple video was interesting loved the process how they do its
Sharla and the Chansey made my day :) I'm surprised that it took this long for Japan to have a park dedicated only to Pokemon. I absolutely loved the hotel you were staying at had a picture of The Real Ghostbusters :)
I was expecting a theme park and then it was that adorable little park, which is honestly better. I couldn't stop laughing at Sharla inside that one shaking and then trying to get out of it 🤣 I think I just woke up my neighbors laughing.
The old owner in the izakaya was so cute! Bless him, he seems to love what he does too. I love outside onsens, they always look gorgeous, my biggest regret was not going to an onsen when I went over in 2019. Also, those Pokemon plushies? That wingull plushie had NO RIGHT being that ADORABLE
This was so much fun to see! It looks like you two had a really great trip. The Pokemon park was adorable. The only thing I noticed was that it was a park celebrating pink Pokemon, and I didn't see Jigglypuff, though they did have the preevolution baby Igglybuff. Plus, Jugglypuff does get a decent amount of attention, and you need to give time to all of them, so I can't really complain. Jigglypuff's just my favorite. Igglybuff was there at least. Anyway, it's really cool that that area has so much Pokemon theming and that more Pokemon parks are on the way. Side Note: Yea it was mean of them to leave poor Lickitung out of the plushy group :( I just heard about the earthquake and saw that your house got messed up. I'm sorry you have to deal with that now, but I'm happy you and the kitty are okay. Take care of yourself.
I'm not into Pokémon at all YET THAT PARK WAS FUN, FUNNY AND You guys were Hysterical! 🤣😂🤣🤍🧡🤍 The Area looks neat and the Onsen looks very nice. The 120°F water aside. 😳😆😂
I agree on the tofu. It has a bad reputation in the west, but good quality tofu prepared right is SO good. You do not have to be a vegetarian to enjoy tofu. 💞
Man oh man... it is so breathtakingly beautiful there. It's not nice to feel jealous, but I can't helppp itttt!!! 😂❤ Thank you for sharing! Oh, and I hope you and Taylor get to visit soon so you can meet the new baby!
Watched both of the videos on this trip. Really fun how you two managed to make each very complimentary of the other. Michi no eki = dangerous wallet place. The whole Pokelid and Pokemon developments are a perfect marriage to TH-camrs like you and serve to encourage showing places you otherwise wouldn't have gone to.

I don't know if you do this on purpose or not, but I love how you always make sure to include clips of yourself reading, speaking and understanding Japanese, unlike some other youtubers. I think that's really beautiful and respectful. 🙏🏼
I just watched Emma's version.. and it is nice to notice, which points are chosen from the same day. It's like in the game, where you play different character in the same day. Funny how Ghost Buster appears. Do not run in the washing space :-) Foot massage looks interesting! Living my best life :-)
I never used to like Tofu until a friend of mine introduced me to Adegashi Tofu. It's such a great introduction to Tofu and sometimes i do make it at home. Nothing beats the restaurant ones though.
Very enjoyable video of your visit with Emma. The two of you have somewhat similar styles of capturing your visit and it is interesting to compare how the two of you saw things just a little differently, even when going to same places together. I especially liked your inclusion of the recipe for fried tofu and the additional information (chapters) to the video. Your approach is just a bit more narrative and fact driven than Emma's and I like that you focus a little more on the architecture, context, sequence... more like a travel log. Thanks for keeping your camera going during the visit to the shrine and the private bath. 7:15 "This is so weird." looking down the foreboding tunnel to the baths. 10:25 "OK, I'm going to try the creepy back massager now... oh !" 16:39 *singing* "Please don't be super hot... HO SHIT !" - 49C is 120F people ! 19:23 "Oh, getting sick... [Emma] Oh God, oh this looks kinda messed up..." Sharla is birthed from Chansey.
This was such a fun video! I can't wait to make the tofu recipe. I hope you can go back to the area and find the other poke lids. What a great memory to have with a friend. ^_^ Hope you're well!
I'm having a major DERP moment with this! Arigatou Sharmeleon-san! Keep up the youtubage as well as your cohorts Norm-san, Nadine-san, Chris-san, and Lukasz-san. Seriously you make my shut-in life liveable. Love to you and I hope everything is good for you going forward. Scary health issues aside, keep up your passions!
I love this video! I love seeing all the cute things in the shops you look at, I was wondering if you could include some prices of things you buy in future videos?!
I really appreciated the intro mentioning the alternative public transit. I only hear about the shinkansen. You must have the coolest travel journal. : )
I started Pokelid hunting in Kanto! I'm always trying to figure out why they use certain pokemon for the designs. You gave me a big clue today, I should check their Japanese name. Thanks so much!
13:10 I'm Japanese, but I couldn't understand a single word this izakaya owner was saying because of his strong accent! And yet Sharla was able to have a normal conversation with him without any inconvenience. If I ever travel to Tohoku, I would hire her as an interpreter.
I finally gave age dash tofu a try after your last video (I always thought it was swerved cold for some reason?) and i am OBSESSED! I just bought some tofu yesterday to make it at home so this video came at the perfect time! 🥰
from the ニッポン放送 website I found this answer: 名前の由来はかなりストレートで、大正から昭和ごろ、「東京の学生街で売り出し、大学生が好んでよく食べたため」という理由だそうです。 so apparently it's just that the first place they were sold was in the area around the university in tokyo
Thank you so much for linking the Agedashi recipie!!! It's my favorite dish, but it's pretty expensive to get in a restaurant where I live. I can't wait to make it at home 😍
I don’t know how else to put it and it sounds a little funny coming from a somewhat manly man 😂 but I love how cute everything is here. Thank you so much for taking us along. 👊🏻👌🏻
Looked like such a fun trip! Thanks for bringing us along :) i was just thinking ..living in Japan would probably be annoying for anyone who hates Pokemon ahah, they're literally everywhere :D
When Sharmeleon hits the subscriber threshold (or experience points) to evolve into Sharrizard, definitely hit the B button until arrival at Pokemon Park and evolve there!
I really hope you get all of the manhole covers! I love these adventures. The manholes are the main part and the other stuff are side quests as far as I'm concerned.
So much fun!!! So happy we could do this trip together ❤️
Let’s go see the others when they’re finished🤩🤩🤩
U is good girl Emma! 🥰🐶❤️

Ha ha, this is a better answer than the one I gave.

A lot of Gen1 pokemon's japanese names are basically just english words haha. For example, Moltres is Fire, Zapdos is Thunder, Articuno is Freezer.
@@Dijitorium Hahaha, Freezer! lol
@@ReptilianTeaDrinker They can't use Blizzard cause Squaresoft might get angry haha.
Lucky in French is "chanceux/chanceuse" :)
I hate how they call vaporeon there -.-
Umbreon name despite how I do not like that pokemon, its japanese name is acceptable
And espeon name is just horrible
Glaceon had the same name if I remember well??
Sharla is so wholesome, sometimes I just sit down for the day and rewatch her videos. 10/10 would recommend. ✨️
I can see how discussions must go before these trips lol Sharla: "Hey, you wanna come to this cool new place with me? It's got awesome stuff I've never seen before!" Collaborator: "You just want to go because there's a pokemon manhole there, don't you?" Sharla: "... maybe"
Or cats
Collabs with everyone who can drive in Japan 😂
Figures such a place would exist in Japan. The food you’re eating looks delicious! 😃
Hanging with Sharla is always such a fun time , Jealousy!
Wasn't expecting a Ghostbusters easter egg in a Pokemon focused video😂
I guess the pokemon manhole hunt continues! The pokemon park looks so cute!! The big chansey looks really fun to go up on and I guess yeah, it's for kids so everything is too small for adults. There should be ones for grownups cause we love pokemon, too. XD
The cat-related items are adorable!!
This is exactly what I pictured the video games and movies to have in their world. I hope it will be there to stay!
It is!! 🤩💞
I'm really glad I decided to watch both videos after seeing one side of the story, it's really interesting to see what each of you decided to keep in the final edit.
Definitely on my bucket list now!!

Aw thanks so much :D welcome to my channel~
I live in Fukushima. Thank you for coming to Fukushima.
I started watching Emma's video on a laptop, came home, opened a browser on the desktop, click on "pokemon park," and say "Oh, this is Sharla's channel,"
I watched both of them
Thanks for watching!! 🤗🤗
Ahhhh this park is literally SO CUTE! 💕 I would love to go see it someday when travel to Japan finally opens up again.
The Pokémon park alone is reason enough for me to go to Japan! Love your videos Sharla! So glad you had fun. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure!
The Pest Busters was so wonderful! I love the reasons like "the outside exists, sometimes it gets inside, don't freak out about it."
:D
ALPACA BOY! XD
I love the little Panda Friend's faces!
Stay forever young Sharla! I discovered your videos only a year ago and they are some of my TH-cam favorites. I love seeing all your adventures and hope you (plus friends & family) are doing well. 💖

Sharla, just gotta say, your nails are always on point. Classy and flawless. Respect 💅✨
Agreed! She always looks so put together and cute!
Sharla and the Chansey made my day :) I'm surprised that it took this long for Japan to have a park dedicated only to Pokemon. I absolutely loved the hotel you were staying at had a picture of The Real Ghostbusters :)
Love the Lickitung slide, lolol
I was expecting a theme park and then it was that adorable little park, which is honestly better.
I couldn't stop laughing at Sharla inside that one shaking and then trying to get out of it 🤣 I think I just woke up my neighbors laughing.
Sharla we LOVE following your Pokémon adventures haha! So so fun ! Thanks for posting !
The cat stuff in your video is giving me pottery inspiration!! Wooo!
I've been binging your vlogs for the past couple months and they are my favorite thing to watch for relaxing! Thanks for all the great content
The old owner in the izakaya was so cute! Bless him, he seems to love what he does too. I love outside onsens, they always look gorgeous, my biggest regret was not going to an onsen when I went over in 2019.
Also, those Pokemon plushies? That wingull plushie had NO RIGHT being that ADORABLE
This was so much fun to see! It looks like you two had a really great trip. The Pokemon park was adorable.

I just heard about the earthquake and saw that your house got messed up. I'm sorry you have to deal with that now, but I'm happy you and the kitty are okay. Take care of yourself.
I watched both your video and Emma's, and I love the fact that both are different but also similar in how wholesome and sweet they are
I'm not into Pokémon at all YET THAT PARK WAS FUN, FUNNY AND You guys were Hysterical! 🤣😂🤣🤍🧡🤍
The Area looks neat and the Onsen looks very nice. The 120°F water aside. 😳😆😂
Another great video! Been rewatching some of your videos lately. So fun!
I watched both your videos on this in a row! Such a lovely place and your videos together are such a joy!
I agree on the tofu. It has a bad reputation in the west, but good quality tofu prepared right is SO good. You do not have to be a vegetarian to enjoy tofu. 💞
i love your videos really really much! :3 theyre always kind of cozy
Man oh man... it is so breathtakingly beautiful there. It's not nice to feel jealous, but I can't helppp itttt!!! 😂❤ Thank you for sharing! Oh, and I hope you and Taylor get to visit soon so you can meet the new baby!
So adorable, love watching the both of you on adventures :)
thank you so much sharla! love your videos! never stop!
Thanks for watching Ana!! 💞💞💞
No matter what onsen you go to it always looks like the nicest place ever

Loved this one. It still amazes me how much there is to explore in Japan🙌🏼👍🏼
Yay! Thanks for visiting Iwaki and promoting Fukushima!
I never used to like Tofu until a friend of mine introduced me to Adegashi Tofu. It's such a great introduction to Tofu and sometimes i do make it at home. Nothing beats the restaurant ones though.
Same. We just never ate it correct. Pressed tofu that soaked up a bunch of hot pot broth (for example)? Yes please.
Love your content so much. Thank you for takeing us around Japan🙏
y'all are so cute playing at the park 😊😊😊 thanks for giving us the full tour! I love musical parks. music + pokemon = perfect park 😄😄😄
This looks like the perfect relaxing trip. Definitely adding these spots to my list! 🥰

7:15 "This is so weird." looking down the foreboding tunnel to the baths.

19:23 "Oh, getting sick... [Emma] Oh God, oh this looks kinda messed up..." Sharla is birthed from Chansey.
Cute! Adding Namie as a potential spot to stop by in a future visit to Japan!
This was such a fun video! I can't wait to make the tofu recipe. I hope you can go back to the area and find the other poke lids. What a great memory to have with a friend. ^_^ Hope you're well!
Loooved this one! I love it when you do ones with Emma, you guys laugh, I really enjoyed you both!!🥰
This was such an adorable video! Your child-like joy was so cute to watch!
I'm having a major DERP moment with this! Arigatou Sharmeleon-san! Keep up the youtubage as well as your cohorts Norm-san, Nadine-san, Chris-san, and Lukasz-san. Seriously you make my shut-in life liveable. Love to you and I hope everything is good for you going forward. Scary health issues aside, keep up your passions!
Just watched Emma's download. Looks as if you really enjoyed yourselves. You're so good together.😄
That looks so cool. Envious but happy seeing you both get to experience it.
I love this video! I love seeing all the cute things in the shops you look at, I was wondering if you could include some prices of things you buy in future videos?!
The older gentleman from the izakaya has such cool character. His smile lights up a shot, too.
He was so sweet🥺❤️
I really appreciated the intro mentioning the alternative public transit. I only hear about the shinkansen. You must have the coolest travel journal. : )
Good to see Fukushima has been able to recover so well after the disaster.
That looked like such a neat trip. Please tell me you got that chocolate at the end.
The cat chocolate? Yep :D
@@sharlainjapan it also immediately reminded me of Maro, hence the question.
Sharla and Emma! One of my favourite duos!
such clear video while driving. very good!
19:19 living my best life 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏 all the pokemon stuff is super cute!!!! 😍😍😍😍❤️ definitely wanna check out the parks when they open!
Looks so cute & fun!! Happy early birthday I know yours is coming up to!! ☺️🐇🎉
So cute! This looked so relaxing and fun. I always love seeing the unique items from different places ( like those cat plates 😸)
Your videos bring me so much joy, and I always love seeing you and Emma together!
I like the Sharla Emma Combo releasing the videos at the same time, fun to see the different perspectives one after the other.
I started Pokelid hunting in Kanto! I'm always trying to figure out why they use certain pokemon for the designs. You gave me a big clue today, I should check their Japanese name. Thanks so much!
Watching you enjoying the park was so endearing, that's how to enjoy life at it fullest
So cool video! I enjoyed it a LOT, thank you!!🥰
13:10
I'm Japanese, but I couldn't understand a single word this izakaya owner was saying because of his strong accent!
And yet Sharla was able to have a normal conversation with him without any inconvenience.
If I ever travel to Tohoku, I would hire her as an interpreter.
Nice Bill Evans profile pic!
You said "I'm stoked!"
That is a saying in Ventura, California. It is a hippy and surfing town. Brought back good memories!
Lovely fun video. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
Nice, thanks for showing us your daytrip! I would have totally gotten those kitty-themed items too at the shop!
The back massager was my highlight of this vlog hahaha
I was already planning to make agedashi tofu after your last video ☺️ so excited to try it!
I finally gave age dash tofu a try after your last video (I always thought it was swerved cold for some reason?) and i am OBSESSED! I just bought some tofu yesterday to make it at home so this video came at the perfect time! 🥰
Ah I just realized the recipe you linked is by Tabi Eats! Now I'm especially excited since I've loved all their recipes I've tried so far!!
Do you think that maybe it was also because fukushima needed to heal and Chansey is a healer? 🥺🥺 At least that is what I think when I see it.
I was told Daigaku Imo is called that because it used to be sold in front of universities.
from the ニッポン放送 website I found this answer: 名前の由来はかなりストレートで、大正から昭和ごろ、「東京の学生街で売り出し、大学生が好んでよく食べたため」という理由だそうです。
so apparently it's just that the first place they were sold was in the area around the university in tokyo
This was so much fun!! It's so cool you have a new friend to go on trips with!
I never knew such a place existed!!! I Love Pokemon!!!
My pre-school Pokémaniacs were enthralled by this video... and amazed by the Pokémon pun of your name. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
So great to have Miss Emma (Tokidoki Traveler) here, Miss Sharla.
Not a huge fan of Pokémon, but the park is so fantastic.
Thank you so much for linking the Agedashi recipie!!! It's my favorite dish, but it's pretty expensive to get in a restaurant where I live. I can't wait to make it at home 😍
So jealous! ❤️ Looks like so much fun!
Love the energy you and Emma have together.
I don’t know how else to put it and it sounds a little funny coming from a somewhat manly man 😂 but I love how cute everything is here. Thank you so much for taking us along. 👊🏻👌🏻
Looked like such a fun trip! Thanks for bringing us along :) i was just thinking ..living in Japan would probably be annoying for anyone who hates Pokemon ahah, they're literally everywhere :D
Im so excited to watch this you cant even imagine
The shrine was hauntingly beautiful! Pun intended! I wish we had a park like that here in Upstate New York!
When Sharmeleon hits the subscriber threshold (or experience points) to evolve into Sharrizard, definitely hit the B button until arrival at Pokemon Park and evolve there!
Its cool to see both Emma's video and yours because they are really different
Loved it! Would love to see more Emma Sharla trips
Thank u for taking us in the slides and stuff!
I really hope you get all of the manhole covers! I love these adventures. The manholes are the main part and the other stuff are side quests as far as I'm concerned.
That Pokémon park has to be the cutest thing I have ever seen 😍
