    NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Ibaraki is only one hour north of Tokyo and well worth a visit if you're looking to escape Japan's capital for a few days! Just don't let Sharla lock you away in a drum bath.
    But WHERE should we visit next? Give us your suggestions!

      It’s honestly the best move these local prefectures could do to increase tourism. Advertising what makes their local specialties worth checking out is a sincere way to say “hey, come here because our stuff’s neat too!” Having someone frank and blunt like Chris is a good way to keep things from being puffed up and dishonest

    I'm glad they were serious about you wearing proper gear for kayaking! There's always a chance something could happen and you'd fall in, and water rescue (actually getting you OUT of the water) takes time. If the water is below a certain temperature, you should always wear a wet suit or something more protective, because nature can be unpredictable.
    Ibaraki looks so beautiful! I'm glad you had an opportunity to spend time there and share it with us ^_^ I'd love to see more of southern Japan! How about Fukuoka next :D

    I have put of this trip for so long not wanting to travel solo and I didn't think I could get to any stage in speaking Japanese at a level that would feel comfortable but after binging almost 8 years worth of your videos over the last 2 months I've my trip planned for February next year and have started learning Japanese.

    Quite honestly, I need more Sharla & Chris content together. It's about time! I spent so long hoping to hear that they were a couple; and now they're engaged! I had nothing to do with it, have never met them yet I still feel like a proud Mom.
    I'll never have a daughter-in-law or grandchild because it appears my Son is going to stay a bachelor because I believe his heart is 💔 permanently.

    Everywhere in Japan you have been was amazing to see and this one fits right in i don't understand that people aren't visiting this so much looks beautifull and the school is such a cool idea the building was great loved the design and the "glamping" looks great with the open glass windows great work again Chris!❤️🙌

    Ibaraki has some nice spots for sure.
    Mito has a nice lake park with a lot of Sakura in season.
    There's Hitachi seaside Park (huge flower garden).
    And some nice waterfalls, shrines and temples.
    Nice food like in many places in Japan.
    I wouldn't necessarily recommend going there on your first visit to Japan though.

    I went to Tsukuba University for a year in college and loved Ibaraki😍 reminded me a lot of back home in upstate ny but with less snow😂
    Me and a friend went out to Ushiku to see the daibutsu but missed the last bus back and had to walk at night through the pitch black country side💀 was like a horror movie but a super funny experience in hindsight😂

    It's cute, that they filmed it, when noone knew about their relationship and sharla goes "we can push the beds away from each other" and Chris goes "that's how I like it" love it - the small "we are not together" comments ♥️

    Thanks for this video, Chris. I used to live in Tsukuba, Ibaraki and the Daibutsu was definitely one of my highlights living there. People don’t know about it which is just crazy.

    At some future date, Chris and Sharla should write a travel book about interesting and romantic places in Japan from a couples perspective.

    I'm here because of Sharla lol... but I think you two are great together. This video made me think, if you and Sharla come back to Canada, and Victoria specifically, you guys should do a trip up Vancouver Island. There are some amazing spots to visit on the Island here like Cathedral Grove, Strathcona Park, and all the beaches like Long Beach, Parksville and Rathrevor Beach, and some great "glamping" places as well as amazing places for other outdoor adventures! (I've lived here on Vancouver Island my whole life lol)
    It's a shame this prefecture has such a low rating because it looks like a really awesome place to visit!
