I think my favorite videos are the ones with Shinichi's mother and sister. It was so lovely to see all of you traveling together, being a happy family, enjoying the interesting locations. Having your mother still able to enjoy traveling is such a blessing. 💞
So nice to see Nikki and your mother on a trip with you! They look great! Very enjoyable travel vlog showcasing all the local specialties. Thanks for sharing!
Takayama that’s our town!!! Lol well its our last name 😊. We went there in summer of 2019 and joked around saying this our hotel and our resturant this is our town 😂. Shinichi & Satoshi you folks always make me hungry! Good seeing Niki and mom in your adventures! I remember the bridge, statues and the open market! The river with the koi i think. It looks cold at this time of the year! All the food looks soooo good! Wow you folks found so many things we didnt see! Wow we never went to Shirakawago, so cool! Thanks for the adventure ❤
You guys and the NHK World are the only two channels on TH-cam that I like to watch about Japan. You just have that right balance of entertaining and relaxing.
Absolutely love the way you both describe everything! I can tell how much you love Japan and I can’t wait to visit this beautiful country with your recommendations
Ohhhh, your Mother is precious, your sister is gorgeous and you and Satoshi are both handsome devils. 😁 Of course, Japan is nice to look at too. 😂 Thank you for the wonderful video! ❤
Thank you for taking us along on your family trip. I love "exploring" Japan with you guys. So sweet of Satoshi for buying the curtain for Shinichi's mum. Last but not least, Nikki don't need dieting, she looks fantastic as is.
This video was _so_ much fun, and deeply heartwarming. It was wonderful to see you all together enjoying the gorgeous sights, sounds, and flavors of Shirakawago and Takayama. Niki was beautful, as always. Your mother looked happy and well, and so relaxed and secure holding your arm, Shinichi.🥰 I'm also glad to see had a good appetite. Thanks for taking us along for such a happy, peaceful interlude. And, thanks to Satoshi for driving. Love to you all. ❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful place. I love the museum. I could spend all day just walking around looking at all the cool old things there. What a fun time you all got to have. Have a safe trip to Hawaii. Happy travels!😊
Shinichi and Satoshi, you are both very inspirational!! This video is so informative. I've decided I want to visit Tokyo again from Aomori and trace the exact steps you took to Gifu Prefecture. Please keep the videos coming
I agree with all the lovely comments made about you both. One of my favorite things to do, is watch your videos. My husband and I often eat while we watch you two eat. If we don't, it's like going to the supermarket feeling hungry. One comes home with off the shopping list junk food. You both make everything you eat sound so delicious!
Such a beautiful part of the world. I can highly recommend the sightseeing train from Nagoya to both Takayama and Matsumoto for your next trip - a great way to see the countryside. The train station is very close to the old part of Takayama and there are many ryokan and onsen to stay in and so many great restaurants. Matsumoto castle is great to photograph at nighttime with the reflections on the lake and the art gallery in Matsumoto has a fantastic collection of Yayoi Kusama works, (her hometown) and also a Hokusai museum. We didnt get to Shirikawago on our trip because of heavy rain, so it was lovely to see it vicariously with you - its certainly on my bucket list🥰
That was an especially great video - and I thoroughly enjoyed Satoshi taking over "lead vocals." Will definitely add Takayama city to our next visit - especially that Morning Market. Looking forward to more domestic travels!
Oh gosh this was such an awesome video and so fun and heartwarming, if I ever get a chance to visit Japan I really want to go and visit these places, my son has been to Japan more than 10 years ago and took some really beautiful pictures that I still have on my phone and some I printed and framed because I worked in a frame shop and I have one in my home and so does my daughter and her family and also my son. I also love really great food and I am so happy that you shared this video. I really love seeing you and Satoshi and your mom and sister, thanks so much again, love you all, sending love and hugs, bye!! 🥰💜💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing this video guys. We will in Japan again in two months. It will be our first time visiting shiragawa go. I’m so glad your sharing this video 😄
Great video Shinichi and glad you spent time with your mom and sister. Thank you Satoshi for your guided tour and driving. Love your content. Always watching. Beautiful area and castle! 💕💕
Wow! I really really loved that video! Such a nice trip in family (btw, sister is so freaking cute!😍). I enjoyed it so much, I didn't even see it was 34 minutes long 😂
I've only been to Tokyo and loved it. Japan is a beautiful country with beautiful people and delicious food. This video makes me want to visit again and explore more of Japan. Thank you for taking us along. ❤
Was glad to see this. The Shirakawa-go episode of Begin Japanology is one of my absolute favorites and I'm always happy to see any video highlighting that amazing place.
What a treat to get to "come along" with you and your family on this lovely trip! Thank you for the extra time and effort it took to film for us on top of taking care of your guests!
With mom traveling is so wonderful and touching! it was slower but still full of interesting sights and stuff. In the wintertime, the nighttime scenery was beautiful in Shiragawa go as well. 🤗🥰
I was in Takayama and Matsumoto in September last year and I absolutely loved them! Takayama had a rescue cat cafe near the morning market with some very sweet people (and good coffee), and Matsumoto Castle has to be one of my favourite things in the world so far. I love seeing your mother and your sister adding another perspective to your travels.
33:15 - 33:17 what a precious, sweet moment with Shinichi and his mom! That alone warmed my heart, I can't explain why. Thank you for this video - it was wonderful to watch you guys! The peace lies not just in the place but also in the way you guys exist with each other, respect, sweet playfulness, being considerate and sharing everything. So lovely to see. 💛 Love from India
I subscribed to your channel. This is the 1st time I have watched your content. Very good, thanks for letting me understand in English. While loving Japan I do not speak or understand Japanese. Your Mom and Sister are adorable. Happy Trails from Florida
Wow! Matsumoto castle was such an incredible surprise! I've definitely felt the terror of going up those stairs, but it's worth it to see one of the last intact castles in Japan! I think it's such a charming city too, one of my favorite in Japan.
The little village was so sweet. The castle was beautiful, too bad you could not film indoors. Very sweet to make sure your mom was taken care of every step. In the past, on a trip, I had to remind my husband to take his mother's arm.
Wow I really loved this vlog. I felt like I was there with you all. I have visited the same places too so brought back many happy memories. Definitely go back to Shirakawago in another season as it is very different. I also recommend staying a night in one of the traditional inns in the village. Walking around after the tourists have all left for the day and going to the village sento are also wonderful. I am going to watch it again now, back to back! Thank you for sharing. Love from Australia ❤❤
Ok. I am eating coffee chicken n watching your vedio. Must try all what you guys hv eat😊 I like this guy 7:50 look like santa claus. 11:40 drinking coffee ah 12:21 and 12:55 dango 13:16 egg cubes? 14:08 drinking mushroom tea
hi! wonderful video guys. 😊We are there last March. The morning market milk and Hida beef sushi are delicious. We also tried the one coin sake. wonderful memories. 😊
You guys should sell trip itinerary instructions that include travel instructions as well as hotel options. I would love to visit but I am completely clueless without specific instruction/directions whenever I travel.
Milk is the best. ❤ Now I feel like I should look up my other favourite Japan ytbers video on how to make royal milk tea. :) You have inspired me a bit. I recently went to our capital and had only a few things planned. Mostly I only walked around, a bit like you and family in this video. I really like how relaxing this is to watch.
Hi nice video. May I know if this was on 20 Apr 2024? (it shows 6 days ago when I discovered this video). I am going there in a week's time, Need to prepare what to wear. I am living in hot Singapore. Thanks.
Ur mother looks at u worried about u stuffing ur face and getting sick again. I thought u weren't gonna do that anymore. All y'all looked like them big bowls and sets were overwhelming. Good excellent food no doubt, but not all that in one day. Can ppl share a share a set meal? .. can one request ( or carry a knife) to cut food stuffs into managable bites in these restaurants? Just curious. I'm Puerto Rican and i was taught to , " chew slowly, cut that up , nobody gonna steal ur food" ??? Enjoyed the vlog otherwise 😊
What i dont get about Japan is their pride in being so advance on tech etc...but they just use so much plastics on everything where paper could be used instead ....
I have personally been to takayama 3 times in the past two years. I recommend you to visit hida village and the castle ruins grounds up the hill on your next visit.
I think my favorite videos are the ones with Shinichi's mother and sister. It was so lovely to see all of you traveling together, being a happy family, enjoying the interesting locations. Having your mother still able to enjoy traveling is such a blessing. 💞

I love how excited Satoshi gets about every food. Especially on vacation.
What a awesome family video! So happy that your Mom is well and she is enjoying herself with you folks.
Satoshi is so great with Shinich's family. He seems so kind and warm.
That was so fun to watch! Deffinately a place that deserves a second visit 😊😊😊

Awesome video showcasing the country side of Japan. Lots of cool spots and delicious food. Its beautiful out there.
I was just there in the area in October. Very beautiful. And it eas great to be out of rhe rush of the big city.

This super thanks is for your super mom!!
Thank you so much
And the shops sell lots of special handcrafts. The town too has so many lovely buildings in a local style. Very special town.

I think it is so cute that Satoshi called her mom to.

What a wonderful video!! Thank you so much for posting!! ❤
A while back we stayed in takayama in a ryokan they gave us food cooked on a leaf. Amazing place we were there in winter snowing.
飛騨高山へようこそ！仕事で3年住みましたがご飯も美味しく温泉も素晴らしいので、定期的に遊びに行くくらい大好きです❤
Thank you for sharing your trip. The market, the road stops and castle were all very beautiful. 🎉
Beautiful beautiful content👍💯
I love these family videos , such cherished moments we get to enjoy with you ❤️.
Wow I really loved this vlog. I felt like I was there with you all. I have visited the same places too so brought back many happy memories.

Nice trip
You guys eat THE BEST food!!!
Very nice
I didn’t go back and check, but the little room at 16:37 looks like where Abroad In Japan and The Anime Man shot a Doctor Jelly bit a few years ago.
Awesome video
there is still snow in April at Shirakawago??
Glad i went 20 years ago.
The 🇩🇪black forest of Japan. We might travel there in october. Lets see. Is a beautyful village. Worth visiting.
Your sister and mother are so pretty!
With a 7/11 next to the hotel I'm sure you would not starve. It was beautiful.🇯🇵☺️👑🌍🌏🌎💚
Hi nice video. May I know if this was on 20 Apr 2024? (it shows 6 days ago when I discovered this video). I am going there in a week's time, Need to prepare what to wear. I am living in hot Singapore. Thanks.
I really wanted to buy the pickled vegetables when I visited, but had no way to get them home.
Sorry but may I know when is the trip? It does not seem to be very snowy… thanks
This was in April.
If you ever moved out of Tokyo where would you settle?
if i ever come to japan can you be my quide someday? being with you guys seems safe. like not getting lost and languge barrier would be easier for me
👍👍
Just found your channel and love it! Something similar to ours 👍
😘😘❤️🥰😍🤩🤩🌈🙏🌹🌹
Your sister Nikki Nikki channel has no new TH-cam videos. Is everything OK with her in her life?
Yep she’s doing fine. Just going through a phase.
Ur mother looks at u worried about u stuffing ur face and getting sick again. I thought u weren't gonna do that anymore. All y'all looked like them big bowls and sets were overwhelming.

Aspartame, Aspartamine artificial sweeteners etc completely killed japanese tsukemono.
What i dont get about Japan is their pride in being so advance on tech etc...but they just use so much plastics on everything where paper could be used instead ....
I have personally been to takayama 3 times in the past two years. I recommend you to visit hida village and the castle ruins grounds up the hill on your next visit.
