Hey guys! Would you also like to try kayaking in Kochi? Let us know down below! Also, for a chance to win an Amazon Gift Card, fill out our survey about Kochi! bit.ly/Kochi-Survey
Just a note on the survey… I didn’t know where Kochi was before the video… but I do know now… Perhaps modify the questions to ask, “Before watching the video, did you know about…” Then you could add another answer of “I didn’t know, but I do now I’ve watched the video” Without these options it’s tricky to answer otherwise! And if you are gathering info to show a tourist board that you have been effective, it would be good to have clear evidence that the video works! I kind of specialise in these kinds of surveys and would happily give you an hour or so of my time for free as a pressie for all the wonderful content you’ve given us! If you’d like to reach out to me, go ahead :-)
All the cicadas are actually a good sign, they mean the trees are healthy. See, the more cicadas in the environment the better the quality of soil (they live in the soil as larvae and when the adult cicadas die, they release things like nitrogen to help fertilize the soil). The more you know
Lol! Aki looking up into the mountains and singing the beginning of the Halo theme, appropriate song choice for such a view. You rock Emma, love your videos! Very cool of the Kochi government to sponsor it too.
Kochi!! I lived on Shikoku Island in Tokushima for 3 years. There are always new places to explore and see. DID YOU TRY surfing in Kochi? It is where many Kansai people from places like Kobe and Osaka go on the weekends to catch some waves 🌊
4:37 I love seeing the mountains in Japan. We don't really have any in my part of the US. I got some really great shots and footage when visiting Mt. Fuji. 🗻
Love those see-through kayaks! I wish I had one, or a see-through paddleboard. Unfortunately, I paddle on the River Thames which you can't really see much through ha ha
What is punishing about the video, you look like an abroad in Japan commenter on his videos where he makes highlights out of comments because of the sheer grammar practicality of your statement
This was so relaxing to watch on a Sunday morning with a cup of tea and a jam donut (Aki was right, I was hungry). Looks like a gorgeous spot, would love to try snorkelling there! And those vegetables looked better than a Getty image, damn 😍
I’m a yosakoi dancer from the United States! Performing in Kochi is a dream of mine and I’m literally in awe of how beautiful everything was in this video ❤️ maybe I’ll add kayaking to my list of things to do there 😂
Enjoyed watching Aki and Emma kayaking in such a beautiful place. Pineapple 🍍 is awesome on pizza 🍕! The food looked delicious and it looked like a fabulous time was had! Makes me want to get outside myself! Thanks for the great video!
I love the absolute focus on Aki's face. "I got this, I GOT THIS!!". To Emma "Is this YOUR first time kayaking?" Emma responds "Ar ya daft girl? I was BORN in a Kayak!!"
@@Adi-Dassler I only found out about it when looking up to see if all Canadian international schools in Japan required Ontario certification since it's different from the rest of Canada. Meitoku Gijuku School in Kochi apparently uses Manitoba certification
Hello Emma and Aki! Thank you for sharing such a cool adventure! I love following you both! Please take us to Kochi City someday I would love to see it from your experiences. Much love~
The water looks amazing! So sad I couldn't go to Kochi this year, definitely gonna do some kayaking when I'm there next year for the yosakoi festival! Thanks for the shoutout Emma!
The water loooooooks good! I was granted a 5-year multiple entry visa literally just before the pandemic. Hopefully I’ll be able to use it before it expires.
@@TheWiseGrif i know right! Getting multiple entry visa is really hard. With how the pandemic affected my source of income, I don’t really think they will grant me multiple entry visa with the amount of money in my bank. Hahaha. Sad
Well, I do know of two spots consistently that have clean, clear blue water here in the US. Both are in Central Florida and are called Crystal Springs and Blue Springs. I've lived in the state since 2010 and visited both, each time amazed at how clear the water is. The water is at 72⁰F year round and a haven for manatees in the winter down here. As for other places with as clear a water clarity in the US, I'm pretty sure there are a good number of snowmelt fed rivers that follow the Rockies Mountain chain in adjacent states. Abandoned pit quarry's are also a good spot to look for but they can be deceptive with how clear the water can be. What looks like 5 feet may end up being close to 100
@@xm-5178 Oooh, I have seen photos of those places in Florida, they are gorgeous!! I really hope to go one day. I actually grew up in a town that had old granite quarries you could swim in, but they were very murky. One place I've seen for sure that has crystal clear water is Schoolhouse Beach on Washington Island in Door County Wisconsin. It was a little too cold for comfort when I was there, but SO beautiful.
@@april_marie, Yeah, but the fisherman in me always thinks whenever I see those fish swimming in those waters, "Hmm, I wonder what they'll bite today?" This being Florida, your kinda obligated to do some fishing eventually as we're a peninsula
Think I once watched a blog sharmelon did here but the water was so cold when she visited ( sorry if I got this wrong ) but it’s great to to see my other favourite girl Emma on the water . Peace and love
You guys, I'm SO jealous! We've not been able to go back to Japan in the last 2 years (or indeed anywhere outside of the UK- obvs) . SO, we decided to buy a kayak to try it out (we were kayak virgins with some sort of mid-life crisis vibe going on). We've just been packing up and going along local (ish) rivers, but would LOVE to do the Kochi river - きれいでづね?！ One day we will make it back ! ♡ And Aki, you did an awesome job for you 1st time, I kept going into banks and bushes and had literally no clue 😁
I would love to go kayaking there! I recently went kayaking on a nice slow river in the Netherlands for the first time in 10 years or so and to was lovely except the FIRST thing I did after being launched into the water was stick my paddle in too deep and roll over. Lost my sunglasses and drinking bladder and of course it was muddy so I couldn't get them back! 😢
Hey! I have just started planning our honeymoon to Japan (so excited!) And this is the kind of thing we would love to do whilst there. We are planning to go in September, is that still a good time to go kayaking and enjoy doing outdoor stuff? Thanks for any advice x
I can live without it shellfish....I'm allergic. XD That river looks beautiful and so calm. You work off all the energy and then you get to have a BBQ. Which is prepped for you! YUMMY!
Im kinda facinated with the grilled veggies. I mean when I think/do barbecue, its always involves meat, meat, more meat, seafood, more seafood, more meat and very rarely some sweet corn.

YES! I 100% want to do this trip after seeing this awesome video ❤
Done!
It looked so Zen and delicious ! I wish I was in Kochi right now ❣❣
Doctor Jelly Can Help you , Didn't Aki, Have Any Special Assortment of Jelly's From Her Doctor, Lubed
My favourite part was when Emma grabbed us by the throat and said "Let's go!!" Cheerfully
Mine's when Aki ran in such an amusing manner XD
Lol
It's when Emma try so hard picking eggplant slice.😂
1:24
😂😂😂😂
amazing water clarity for a river
You know watching these videos is extremely relaxing.

I really like how Emma treats Aki. Taking-care-of-a-little-sister vibes.
Kochi!! I lived on Shikoku Island in Tokushima for 3 years. There are always new places to explore and see. DID YOU TRY surfing in Kochi? It is where many Kansai people from places like Kobe and Osaka go on the weekends to catch some waves 🌊
No
Japan is so beautiful!
The water there in Kochi is beautiful! I would love to come and kayak over there.
Also, 10/10 would kayak with both Emma & Aki.
Looks so chilled 👍🏻🇯🇵
Kochi is such a beautiful place in Japan
Great, now i have "go aki go" in my head, thanks Emma!
That looks like such a great experience! Kayaking on that river would have been so gorgeous. And the bbq looked amazing!
The kayaking and river looked crazy beautiful. The clear kayak is such a good idea.
Well now I have another destination for my dream Japan trip!
@4:30 That river looks amazing!!
The famous OZY quote.. "Thats not a knife, this is a knife".
Aki showing the food whos boss!!
I can't get over how beautiful that place is! What a dreamy summer day
Ok, that river really looks amazing. Being the die hard fisherman I am, I just kept thinking what lurks below and how could I catch them
4:37 I love seeing the mountains in Japan. We don't really have any in my part of the US. I got some really great shots and footage when visiting Mt. Fuji. 🗻
Kochi looks amazing, that clear water 😍
WE LOVE U AKI
Damn this place is perfect summer vibes. Def adding to my Japan checklist
As someone who has never been in Japan, this luxury experience is a jelly
Great video, I hope everyone had fun filming this. Awesome seeing Emma and Aki
Love those see-through kayaks! I wish I had one, or a see-through paddleboard. Unfortunately, I paddle on the River Thames which you can't really see much through ha ha
This was nice and the barbecue looked tasty 🤤
This video is cruel and unusual punishment! 😠 The barbecue looks fantastic. I would love to do more adventures like that on my next trip to Japan.
What is punishing about the video, you look like an abroad in Japan commenter on his videos where he makes highlights out of comments because of the sheer grammar practicality of your statement
Or the poster is being sarcastic as they can't be there and since it looks so wonderful it's therefore punishing them? 🤔
Relax guys. The auto translate simply failed him/her.

One reason I'd like to visit Kochi is there's a blacksmith in that area who offers patrons the opportunity to work with him to forge their own knife.
13:06 I had yakiniku at a place in Shinjuku and it was honestly my best meal in Japan, including the place that cost $100 per person.
Enjoyed watching Aki and Emma kayaking in such a beautiful place.
Pineapple 🍍 is awesome on pizza 🍕!
The food looked delicious and it looked like a fabulous time was had! Makes me want to get outside myself! Thanks for the great video!
You guys really look like you had an amazing day!
I love kayaking. I would love to go kayaking here, that water looks so pure.
Nice to see you guys enjoying a chill day. World's been so crazy, so this video was a nice change of pace.
_BEAUTIFUL_
I'm living vicariously through you guys!! Beautiful nature and such delicious looking foods; yum!
A see-through
kayak is a really good idea
I guess Tokyo Creative need to bring Chris Broad in to produce the next big music hit! 'Go, Aki, Go, Put it in your mouth!'
I love the absolute focus on Aki's face. "I got this, I GOT THIS!!". To Emma "Is this YOUR first time kayaking?" Emma responds "Ar ya daft girl? I was BORN in a Kayak!!"
Kochi is where a Canadian curriculum high school is located that I'd love to get a chance to teach in someday! It looks so lovely there.

Such a chill Vid. Though this has made me miss summer - its coming up in Aus soon.
Hello Emma and Aki! Thank you for sharing such a cool adventure! I love following you both! Please take us to Kochi City someday I would love to see it from your experiences. Much love~
looks like an amazing day !
Great video! Kayaking in Kochi is now definitely on top of my "end of lockdown" to-do-list!
This is such a fun, and relaxing video.
Also when they talked about the Cola drink I started to remember Joey's latest video on trying Japan's soda with his two friends.
Now I wanna go camping in Kochi!!!!
my favorite outdoorsy moms cookin some snacks and living the dream
Should not have watched this on an empty stomach🤤
This was such a beautiful escape, thank you for sharing!
I also LOVE PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA THEY'RE THE BEST
That kayak is surprisingly stable, unlike myself lol...
At least I can get a good dosage of nature through this video to send good vibes to my brain!
What a stunningly beautiful place! That’s definitely going in my wishlist of places to visit!
Those see through boats are fabulous. Great vlog thank you. There has to be pineapple on everything especially pizza
The water looks amazing! So sad I couldn't go to Kochi this year, definitely gonna do some kayaking when I'm there next year for the yosakoi festival! Thanks for the shoutout Emma!
Wow that water is gorgeous
yay. Another video that is not about food. This was a great adventure video
So enjoyable to watch, wish I was there!
The water loooooooks good! I was granted a 5-year multiple entry visa literally just before the pandemic. Hopefully I’ll be able to use it before it expires.
I would say i hope they would "credit" you for the pandemic...but knowing Japan an their love of paperwork and stuff...

Looks amazing!
Me, a Mexican watching how they are impressed by the green lemon: That's a normal lemon.
That's a lime*
@@SourTb nope aki is right thats a lemon like calamansi
In Brazil: green lemon, lemon. Yellow lemon, Sicilian lemon (as in coming from Italy). Lime: semi-sweet form of orange.
Aki's Halo Theme blends well with the picturesque view. Awesome!
Well I’m adding this to the huge list of places to go since I’m living here! Looked so fun 🤩
Seeing that guy snorkeling answers my question. Okay, adding Kochi to the mermaiding bucket list.
Oh my goodness, the kayaking there looks like so much fun!! It's hard to find crystal clear waters like that in the US.

aw looks amazing and i love kayaking, im jealous
I mean, not gonna lie, clear-boat kayaking in Kochi has rocketed right up my list of places to go when I inevitably visit.
I hope Aki and Emma had fun
Love this channel, definitely considering a visit to Kochi when Japan opens up for travel again!
You guys, I'm SO jealous! We've not been able to go back to Japan in the last 2 years (or indeed anywhere outside of the UK- obvs) .

And Aki, you did an awesome job for you 1st time, I kept going into banks and bushes and had literally no clue 😁
I had never thought of matcha and pudding but now that I do think of it I think it would be good.
I would love to go kayaking there! I recently went kayaking on a nice slow river in the Netherlands for the first time in 10 years or so and to was lovely except the FIRST thing I did after being launched into the water was stick my paddle in too deep and roll over.

Wow the water looks amazing, you both look amazing, the food looks amazing.
Can we just have Aki with Emma in these vlogs, all the time?
This looks like a cool idea, hope you guys had huge fun and thanks for showing this to us! :3
The water is so pristine. 😻
In America we call that grilling. BBQ requires meat that has a sauce or dry rub applied and cooked slow--usually for hours.
Yes!
Hey! I have just started planning our honeymoon to Japan (so excited!) And this is the kind of thing we would love to do whilst there. We are planning to go in September, is that still a good time to go kayaking and enjoy doing outdoor stuff? Thanks for any advice x
Emma vs. the eggplant- an epic battle!
Pineapple on Pizza, no-shame squad! Such a comfy vid~ 😊
Grilled pineapple and pineapple on pizza are dope AF.
I want all the mushrooms, veggies, and scallops tho
Japan is one of my dreams💕
Pineapple on pizza! Yes! Had it today. Grilled Pineapple would be even better. Emma - try pickling tomatoes.
yes I AM hungry....we are having GRÜNKOHL tonight I belive it is ケール in Japan and it is cooking for several hours now... greetings from Germany
I can live without it shellfish....I'm allergic. XD That river looks beautiful and so calm. You work off all the energy and then you get to have a BBQ. Which is prepped for you! YUMMY!
Wow! Kochi looks amazing! And the food
Yall gotta try Kochi Ice! This place has amazing flavours, and the rice flavour is the best
_Aki you did great your first time kayaking! Its definitely a popular water activity in Australia_
Aki see's. Aki take, Aki touch, Aki grabs....God Bless Aki :D
Looks like fun! That barbecue grill looked like it was about to fall apart
Standing next to Aki makes Emma look like a lanky giant. (in the best way possible)
Im kinda facinated with the grilled veggies.
I mean when I think/do barbecue, its always involves meat, meat, more meat, seafood, more seafood, more meat and very rarely some sweet corn.
It's a good day when TC uploads! Bonus when Aki's in the video too
