i want to say this before my comment gets buried but I love love your videos!! You show a lot of places in Japan that I didn't know I wanted to visit plus the atmosphere around you is so calming it puts me at ease as well. i hope you continue to make videos and show more interesting places in japan! (esp outside of Tokyo hehe)
Hi Faith :) Thank you for the early and very sweet comment. As a content creator, nothing makes me happier than to hear that some one enjoys my videos! Will continue to make content and improve as I go. Appreciate the support and hope you can visit Japan some time soon
Thanks so much for showing this beautiful place. I particularly noticed at 6:16 there is unique icon hardly found these days anywhere. Yes, the traditional red post box on the street. I also enjoyed how locals tell stories and their traditions. Just momiji manju has such wonderful story behind. Travelling is really about getting to know the locals, specialty, and traditional culture.
I'm so hooked on your videos right now. I love that you show these non touristy places. I'm the kind of person who appreciates the subtleties of things and so I feel like you're showing the subtleties of Japan. But that's not to say that your videos aren't also fun and beautiful, which they are. Keep it up.
You're so adorable. I lived in Fukuoka Japan for a couple of years. Your videos are great because you show real Japan not just anime and goofy things. Thanks for sharing the real thing. Hope to run into you sometime if I go back to Japan. :)
I visit this island twice and still want to comeback , love the slow walk every mornings and enjoy the early morning look to sunrise and sunset in the evening . You need 2 or 3 days here relaxing and explore this island . My first visit in 2017 then 5 years later I comeback 2022. ❤
Wow I was there just yesterday! Something to note is that you can use the JR pass to get to Miyajimaguchi and also on the JR ferry. But if you don't have the JR pass the line for the other ferry seemed a lot shorter and maybe less crowded. I didn't get to see as much as you did. I only saw Itsukushima shrine and Omotesando, so I am very thankful for this video. God, those oysters were so good, I am ruined for oysters forever now. I don't think any others will even stand close to them. Cheers
Absolutely amazing video. Miyajima is one of the places I most want to visit. It looks so magical and beautiful, just wonderfully enchanting. The deer are also adorable. Thank you for making such wonderful videos, they are truly inspiring.
oh my goddd that ending where you talking to a deer is PRICELESS!!! you are so kind and cheerful, thank you for bringing us high quality videos everytime!! :D i'm going to japan next week i hope we can meet!!!
ありがとうございました。* For this FANTASTIC video. With so much Gratitude for the experience to be so close to the Otorii Gate in low tide. One of many JEWELS of this blessed country.
Every time I watch one of your videos, Angela, I want to cry T^T They make me so happy! Everyone can agree that you do amazing work and we appreciate it! The lady giving the backstory on the maple castella was very nice :) And I love hearing you speak Japanese ♥^♥ It's very inspiring :D Love you ^^ Can't wait to see your next video!
Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope you're having a good week! Chill video for this beautiful island :) Let me know what other places you want to see too! ↓
This video inspired me to visit Hiroshima someday! I never knew such beautiful place existed... thank you ❤❤❤ hope u upload more videos like these!!!!!😭😭😭
I visited at this time, last year. (in 2019). I stayed at the Hotel Park Side Hiroshima (www.park-side.co.jp/english/), very affordable and only a short walk to Peace Park. Allow yourself plenty of time to visit, because even the bus ride from the airport to the bus/Shinkasen station is a 45 minute ride. And yes, the little time I spent on the island was wonderful. Take the young lady seriously when she talks about low tide. I arranged my visit to the Grand Torii/Floating Torii at what I thought was low tide, but it wasn't low enough. I was not able to walk out to the torii. After taking pictures, I walked around the town while I waited for my next ferry (which docks very close to the Atomic Dome). If you go, please enjoy your stay.
I love your videography. I love your choice of music (Ghibli for life!). When I visited Japan all those years ago, Hiroshima was so unforgettable. It was a magical place. The Peace Park made me cry but also gave me hope whilst Miyajima mesmerised me. This is so nostalgic.
I used to live in Hiroshima, and after moving, we would go back there every year to spend New Year's Eve at my grandparents'. So many memories. By the way, where did you get the Spirited Away music, Angela?
Angela look for the Lowepro Flipside. It's the perfect rug sack for hiking with camera equipment and since you don't have too much equipment, you can also fit water/food/clothers/etc in it. It has a raincover, the belts make it fit tight for long walks and it has very good padding all around to wear it over long hours. It's very handy to have access to the bag without having to take it off too. It doesn't cost a lot more than a Jansport but it works better for what you're doing and it's build to survive a war.
I visited Hiroshima including a one day trip to Miyajima/Itsukushima last spring and can only agree. I'd also recommend taking the rope ways and then walk to the summit for the amazing view of Hiroshima and the Japanese Inland Sea.
Hiroshima, such a historical place with atomic bomb tragedy.I'm just hoping that you can share video on Nagasaki soon and share us about the atomic tragedy base on people around there.
The deer use subtlety in eyes and ears to gesture. It would be neat to know the places to go for a textile tour in Japan. The making of traditional textiles of Japan.
I loved that you used the music from Spirited Away in your video. While in Hiroshima, did you visit the peace memorial park? I would love to see your video of that.
I have to say, I love your videos. I have been binge watching them at work.... I just HAD to comment on the music choice for this video. I love me some princess mononoke. Thanks for the awesome content. Really makes my day when you release a new one! Cheers :)
Definitely a highlight of my trip to Japan. Would love to go back & spend a couple of nights in one of the island's ryokans & take more time to explore the whole beautiful island.
I like this video for 2 secondary-reason: 1) The audio of the voice of Hiroshima station at the beginning 2) The theme of 千と千尋の神隠し ("Spirited Away" or "La città incantata" in Italy) Well done. Really nice video. I miss Japan
Your videos are so helpful and great to watch. And its also satisfying hearing a kiwi japanese accent :) i am going to Itsukushima in a couple weeks. Now i know where i need to go on the island. どのありがとう
If you need lockers, Hiroshima station have some (at least in 2008). For a whole day trip, it is possible to see both high and low sea, just need some planning. But I highly recommend a two days trip, Itsukushima shrine in the evening or in the morning without any tourist is awesome.
I love watching these videos. I am heading to Tokyo for 4 days tomorrow and these are definitely helpful since I have no idea what I am doing haha! Thank you!
This was really nice, Angela. Hiroshima is pretty, seems to be in a peaceful setting, and looks amazing during the day and at night time as well. Looking forward to the next video! :)
I'm a huge fan. Love seeing your vlogs. You made me feel in love with Japan. I don't usually watch travel videos/vlogs but yours is interesting, I never get bored and I love you for explaining and giving us tips and directions with histories. And I love the music you put in your videos, and this one specially as it's the familiar music from the anime. Thank you.
+internationally ME I just wanted to thank you for this and your other videos. I just came back from my first trip to Japan and I went with many of your suggestions. I also saw that '7 minutes if you run a little' sign'. That was pretty funny. I was lucky enough get to Miyajima at the end of high tide so I was able to see the floating gate as I arrived and was able to walk out to it as I was leaving. For anyone planning to go, the grilled oysters were amazing and the okonomiyaki was really good (but super filling)
Wooow I've been there3 times and didn't know that there was an Aquarium there oooo yeah My wife says that you have a very soothing voice that's one the reasons we enjoy watching your videos
Thank you very much for this and all of your videos. I am planning a trip to Japan for next October and your videos are proving very helpful to help me decide how to plan my itineraries. Keep up the good work!
Japan is just so beautiful! Awesome video Angela! You never disappoint. I really want to visit Hiroshima and roam around from morning till evening and just get lost in my thoughts. Looking forward to more incredible content that I know you'll deliver. :)
I had a bit of a freak out at the music at first, I love Ghibli music so much! I have another place to add to my list to visit in Japan now, one day I'll be able to afford this trip
You're videos helped me plan my trip to Tokyo,and it was amazing!! You're videos are so great and so helpful and make me miss Japan so much!i can't wait to go back and use you're incredible advice! Keep it up :) and thank you!
The background music!
Thank youuuu!!!
Thank you! It sounded so familiar. This showed up as the top comment for me, saving me from having to research it. :)
I love Hiroshima. The first I came here and then I fell in love with this city.
i want to say this before my comment gets buried but I love love your videos!! You show a lot of places in Japan that I didn't know I wanted to visit plus the atmosphere around you is so calming it puts me at ease as well. i hope you continue to make videos and show more interesting places in japan!

internationally ME
Do you know where I could get in contact with the Japanese government?
(I couldn't find the official website?) 😭
THE MUSIC ... how dare you hit me in the feels like this !!
The Spirited Away background music gave me too many feels!! LOVE ME SOME GHIBLI
Thanks so much for showing this beautiful place. I particularly noticed at 6:16 there is unique icon hardly found these days anywhere. Yes, the traditional red post box on the street.

Just got back from Japan and visited tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. I have to return to see more and also visit Hiroshima 💙😍🇯🇵🇦🇺
Miyajima is my little island paradise and I have so many good memories of it, I long to visit again.
I got a bit distracted by the Music. Love Ghibli!
Me too! I was so absorbed by the music!
Eniale94 me too! Can you tell me what song it is? I can't remember!
It's from Spirited Away :)
I have the dvd next to me xD
I'm so hooked on your videos right now. I love that you show these non touristy places. I'm the kind of person who appreciates the subtleties of things and so I feel like you're showing the subtleties of Japan. But that's not to say that your videos aren't also fun and beautiful, which they are. Keep it up.
Thank you!! I love the lesser known areas so I'm glad you like them too!
You're so adorable. I lived in Fukuoka Japan for a couple of years. Your videos are great because you show real Japan not just anime and goofy things. Thanks for sharing the real thing. Hope to run into you sometime if I go back to Japan. :)

Wow talk about timing! Was it crowded when you went on a weekday?
Nice tips about the JR pass :)
I would say there were probably half as many people by the looks of it. And I was there at probably one of the busier times 3-6pm.
Btw, there are lockers at the train station.
Absolutely amazing video. Miyajima is one of the places I most want to visit. It looks so magical and beautiful, just wonderfully enchanting. The deer are also adorable. Thank you for making such wonderful videos, they are truly inspiring.
oh my goddd that ending where you talking to a deer is PRICELESS!!! you are so kind and cheerful, thank you for bringing us high quality videos everytime!! :D
i'm going to japan next week i hope we can meet!!!
こうやって日本を紹介してくれて、それに海外の人がいろいろ反応してるのを見るのはワクワクするし嬉しいよね
これからも頑張って下さい〜
ご視聴ありがとうございます＾＾そう言って頂いて嬉しいです！これからも頑張ります！
The music made it so nostalgic and beautiful for me xD ♡♡♡♡

Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope you're having a good week! Chill video for this beautiful island :) Let me know what other places you want to see too! ↓
Fantastic video. Always look forward to your video's.
Thx for the video! :)
Is there a special reason for the Spirited Away music reference?
cat island and bunny island🙋🙋🙋
wow hiroshima! my fave place :) last time i wrote down a comment in one of your vid.. "Itsukushima Shrine".. i forgot what video of yours :)
i love the way you capture scene like in 4:53, look like anime background..gorgeous!
This video inspired me to visit Hiroshima someday! I never knew such beautiful place existed... thank you ❤❤❤ hope u upload more videos like these!!!!!😭😭😭

I’ve never visited Hiroshima but I have been wanting to!
Nice video. I liked the way you asked the deer to say bye...... so cute.
I used to live in Hiroshima, and after moving, we would go back there every year to spend New Year's Eve at my grandparents'. So many memories.
By the way, where did you get the Spirited Away music, Angela?
Ohhh really?! I didn't know you use to live there ;O
Soundcloud. Check the title in my description!
That Ghibli piano music made this entire video 100 times more enjoyable. Thanks for such a good choice!
Hiroshima😍😍😍
Hiroshima has a lot of delicious food Okonomiyaki, oyster and momizi manju …etc
Come japan！Come hiroshima!

I really like the music in the background

Hiroshima, such a historical place with atomic bomb tragedy.I'm just hoping that you can share video on Nagasaki soon and share us about the atomic tragedy base on people around there.
OMG, I like your videos very much. Keep going and show us more fun places
I guess this means a return trip to Hiroshima.
excellent video as always .cute outro and so relaxing with the beautiful music
spirited away
The deer use subtlety in eyes and ears to gesture. It would be neat to know the places to go for a textile tour in Japan. The making of traditional textiles of Japan.
I loved that you used the music from Spirited Away in your video. While in Hiroshima, did you visit the peace memorial park? I would love to see your video of that.
How the country and the people could be so beautiful in japan
I actually love Japan.
this background makes me sad.... i'll will forever miss ghibli studios ;-;
Two new movies this year!
This video completely convinced me to add Miyajima to my itinerary and stay overnight too, can't wait :)
Hi Angela, if you are in Europe one day just let me know. I can show you around.
Wow The Spirated Away music really got me
what type of camera do you use?
Panasonic Lumix GH4 or GH5, I'm guessing
Thanks for your hard work filming your videos. The atmosphere of the island was quite relaxing, so I feel like a nap now ! ha ha
Going to Japan in July. I haven't been there in 8 years. We're definitely spending a day in Miyajima.
Unmistakingly Japan. Very neat place
Thank-you. I'm travelling to Japan next year and my last stop is Hiroshima. And I am looking forward to visiting Miyajima .
Yasss Angela!!! Your videos keeps getting better and better! The history, sights and beauty of this place is amazing!
I have to say, I love your videos. I have been binge watching them at work....
I just HAD to comment on the music choice for this video. I love me some princess mononoke. Thanks for the awesome content. Really makes my day when you release a new one!
Cheers :)
Aww makes me happy to hear you enjoy my content! Thank you for watching Steven!
Excellent timing, I'm going tomorrow!
I am moving to Shimonoseki this Sunday! I will definitely visit Miyajima since it is very close. Thank you for the great tips👍🏻
Definitely a highlight of my trip to Japan. Would love to go back & spend a couple of nights in one of the island's ryokans & take more time to explore the whole beautiful island.
Your videos are always fun to watch. Next time when I quit my job, the only thing I want to do is to travel to Japan.
I like this video for 2 secondary-reason:
1) The audio of the voice of Hiroshima station at the beginning
2) The theme of 千と千尋の神隠し ("Spirited Away" or "La città incantata" in Italy)
Well done.
Really nice video. I miss Japan
great video, carefully depicting all the beautiful scenes in Hiroshima. I loved it!!
Wonderful. It reminds me of my visit to this lovely island in 2007. And, today is Hiroshima day !
Your videos are so helpful and great to watch. And its also satisfying hearing a kiwi japanese accent :) i am going to Itsukushima in a couple weeks. Now i know where i need to go on the island. どのありがとう
This is where exactly i got my idea of going to Miyajima on the summer of last year. I had sooo much fun. 😊
Great video Angela! Music was nostalgic. Looking forward to your next videos. 🇦🇺🇯🇵
the lanterns were amazing.also the outro was good.
If you need lockers, Hiroshima station have some (at least in 2008).
For a whole day trip, it is possible to see both high and low sea, just need some planning.
But I highly recommend a two days trip, Itsukushima shrine in the evening or in the morning without any tourist is awesome.
Thnx for the awesome video. I’ll definitely stay a night at the island when I visit ☺️
Thanks for the videos, we are going to Japan for the first time in 6 weeks, and your videos have been very helpful.
I can't believe I just found this channel it's so fantastic - I wish I had found it before my trip to Japan!
My hometown!!!!!!!
I miss Hiroshima....
I love watching these videos. I am heading to Tokyo for 4 days tomorrow and these are definitely helpful since I have no idea what I am doing haha! Thank you!
Thanks for the video Angela! It's definitely a place to visit, especially for those cutie deers hahaha
The kokeshi doll shown at 6:05 in the video, I have that exact same one! So cool to see.
Really nice soundtrack. Great choice and great video!
This video is truly awesome, I love the way you recorded it! and the theme song brought me tears cause so beautiful with the landscape
Love that "Spirited Away" music. Great videos, keep up the great work girl...
This video is beautiful. You have convinced me to visit this amazing island :)
Nice place to visit. I wish I can visit that place someday. I really like your videos.
This was really nice, Angela. Hiroshima is pretty, seems to be in a peaceful setting, and looks amazing during the day and at night time as well. Looking forward to the next video! :)

Good video I liked it the most waiting for the next video
That would have been a great place to go after my visit to the Genbaku and the Peace Park.
It is on my list for my next visit, in 2025.
Japan is just so beautiful!
Awesome video Angela! You never disappoint.
I really want to visit Hiroshima and roam around from morning till evening and just get lost in my thoughts.
Looking forward to more incredible content that I know you'll deliver. :)

THE SNAZZY SPIRITED AWAY MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND I LOVE IT
I love your chanel !! Im currently in Hiroshima and going to the island tomorrow.
*Angela, your editing skills are so good. Thank you for showing us this part of Japan. By the way, your eyes are beautiful like a maple leaf.*
Thank you :) Is it a good thing to have eyes that look like a maple leaf? haha. 🔥🍁
Sister this is wordless beauty
