I got a little emotional when you spoke about the kindness of the local people in smaller towns. The restaurant owner showed so much hospitality and it really touched me. These kind of people are a dying breed around the world. It's simple acts of kindness that really make a difference on us.
One time I was purchasing only ONE cookie and didn't have any cash, only my ATM the owner insisted to take it and pay later, I explained I was traveling and maybe not going back, she add 2 more to the bag and said it's was a gift for me. She was so very nice. I went back 3 years later, she did remember me.......
Hi,I'm Japanese(18 years old). I'm so glad to be a lot of people who are foreign countries here. I can't speak English well,but I want to talk you... so I study English more and more. Thank you:)
Hajimemashite! Watashi wa Amerkicajin no daigaku gakusee desu. Senkoo wa Eego desu. Senkoo mo Nihongo desu. Your English is very good Mausu-san! Keep practicing!
Beautiful!, I don´t know why but the part where the man gave you the umbrellas and when you finally found people that clapped four times made me very emotional.
Your travel videos are absolutely magical, Rachel. My eyes teared up a couple of times, watching the deer and listening to the clapping people at the shrine. Thank you for sharing how wonderful the rural areas of Japan can be! A friend of my son's spent several months traveling through the Japanese countryside several years ago. His facebook posts showed a lot of similar things, and I noticed in both your videos and his stories how much Japanese people enjoy talking to travelers and showing their ways of life to people who are interested. If I had the opportunity, I would love to spend a year traveling around Japan, meeting people and learning about their lives! Ah, who am I kidding, I'd live to travel the world doing that!! 😁 I think that's one reason I love TH-cam- I may not be able to do it myself, but I can tag along with my favorite content creators, exploring the world through their cameras. Thank you for letting me see Japan through your lens!
This video is amazing. Not only are the sights beautiful, but when you speak, I feel like I can hear how much this place meant to you. Makes me wanna visit (maybe someday). ^-^
If anyone ever asks me what 'Fernweh' (german word for the feeling of missing certain places even if you have never been there yourself), I'm just gonna sow them this video. This place seems so beautiful, I really wanna go there and explore, meet people and have a lot of fun~
I am going to be honest. I don't know why, but I started crying when I heard those people clapping more than two times. There's something about it that just hit me. It was so special.
Ever since that new haircut video I can't stop watching Rachel's hair. So smooth and pretty, even after swimming in a sea. Never again bad hair day due to Japanese humid weather. It's a bit sad, I want to see Japan but end up watching her hair, but I can't help it, it's just too pretty not to look at.
Right before this trip I got the permanent hair straightening treatment!! I'm still catching up on vlogs on our Adventures channel but I'll be uploading about it soon! lol
Millie's unbelievably adorable lol, and even if you're not religious, there's just something moving and therapeutic about prayer, or at least watching those people pray, in my opinion.
These videos are just so wow. Always so short. Involving, emotional, beautiful. Such a great approach to traveling videos. Just by watching this 99% of the viewers would go there right now if they could. It makes want to drop my job, sell my stuff, break my phone in pieces, grab the person I love the most and just live in that place forever. That's what I wanna do right now.

Thank you so much Rachel&Jun for bringing Japan to us through this little screen. I've been there only 2 times and I really miss Japan as it was my home.
I got strep throat and a fever so i haven't left my room in a few days and ive been just watching old&new rachel & jun videos. i love them theyre so heart warming, never fails to make me smile
Rachel you making me cry man. This was so incredibly beautiful. The preservation of these cultures is so vastly important, especially showing the younger people still practicing archery sports in traditional clothing. I hope that one day I may be able to visit the Niigata prefecture and visit the city of Yahiko. Thank you so much for sharing this video and telling about the rich history. Love and Kisses!!!!!!
I have to say this is one of the sweetest videos I have ever seen, and honestly made sure that Yahiko will 100% be on my visit list when going to Japan. Thanks Rachel, keep up the good work!
I'm so glad you get to visit all of these beautiful places and share them with us! This is exactly the kind of place I'd like to visit in Japan. I mean, I'd the cities would be great too, but the countryside is just amazing.
GOD DEER. omg i laughed so hard at that. but also it's crazy how nice the people in Yahiko village were to you guys! So sweet of them !!!! >.< All your videos just make me want to go to Japan even more. For now, I"ll experience it through your adventures/videos :D :D
I love videos like this, especially the end (the music was lovely). They fill me with fernweh. Shrines are one of my favorite visuals from Japan; they seem so steeped in spirituality and calmness.
Shikoku is definitely a similar place! I'm in Saijo in Ehime and despite being locally famous for the 88 temple pilgrimage, I had definitely never heard of it when I was placed here! Our October festival involving massive danjiri is coming up soon and I'm really excited to experience it for the first time! I'm so happy to be here in the inaka, despite the somewhat lack of convenience, because you really do get the impression that you're experiencing real Japan.
What a beautiful and relaxing place. It's really great to see people being friendly. Having friendly people on your trip really enhances the experience. Also the sacred deer and chickens were awesome! :)
starting Uni this spring, hoping to be an ALT in Japan with my gf when we graduate ^_^ regardless, she and i want to visit Japan if nothing else. It's such a beautiful country with a deep and wonderful culture and traditions from what we've learn from J-vloggers and friends who live there~
that part with the shop owner giving you umbrellas made me actually cry :( how rare do I see people so caring for just strangers they've met once :( maaaaan this is so beautiful. where I come from sonething like this never happens, literally never. In japan so many people are so selfless, they are raised with the belief to take care of your family, thinking about others while here we have an established ego-society, everyone thinks about themselves first, and it's just considered "natural" that way :( I just went to a book store 2 days ago and again experienced an older lady calling a man out, she knocked over some stuff on a shelter and that guy just freaking smiled at her and kindly laughed... she was so rude and cussed at why hes thinking thats funny, literally calling him (translated) "son of a b*tch"... or once I worked a couple of months in fast food restaurant, you are literally being treated like shit, especially from customers :( I often cried after work in the bathroom, I took this (very low paid job) seriously and tried my best but still people here have no patience with you and are STRAIGHT UP rude, telling you to your face that you are shit, suck etc :( I hate it so much here, I want to live in a country with a tradition and culture of kindness like japan
I'd like to say thank you for videos like this, I'm planning a trip to Japan with friends and we've agreed this spot is definitely going to be on the 'to visit' list.
ahhh!!! how lovely! the school and shrine were absolutely gorgeous especially in the rain. I hope I can visit a shrine in japan one day, they're so enchanting and peaceful.
What a sweet man, that makes the trip even better I'm sure. He was not required to give those umbrella's, but yet he did. But I have a feeling with everything so close together that they all already know that you are walking around there. In a small town talk about visitors often goes rather quickly throughout the whole town. Nice place to walk around and take photo's, love the scenery and the hidden culture.
The music was so beautiful and the village and kindness the people held made me get a little teary eyed. Also, I have a question, before going to destinations, do you do research prior to going? I've always been filled with awe at the knowledge you share, right to the point where I will do the same for my videos! Ah-- and thank you for sharing this experience with us Rachel, you have no idea how much I appreciate it! (GOD DEER ONWARDS!)
These are exactly the kind of places I would love to visit if I ever get to go to Japan. I don't like cities, even in my own country which are waaay smaller than the cities in Japan, and Yahiko looks absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
I'm pretty sure everyone could feel how much you were touched by everything and everyone in that place :D It makes me really happy that you got to experience that.
I love these travel videos so much! It's so nice to get to see how wonderful and nice the people of these places are - they are as beautiful as their cities! The God Deer also reminded me of the God Deer from Princess Mononoke with the giant antlers :D
Your videos are all SO great! Thanks for letting us experience something different from the super touristy stuff we keep hearing about, and show us what life really is like outside the big centres :D
That's exactly what happened to me when I went to Japan and nobody believed me! I was in a small village taking rural pictures when it started pouring like absolute heavy rain, so I ran to find shelter and an old lady owning a shop close by spotted me and started running after me in the rain to offer me an umbrella she had in her hand. Everyone says I exaggerate with that story. Sure she didn't run a long way after me, but it was one of the kindest gestures I've seen when I was there. I'll never forget that ♥
These are the types of places I dream about visiting in Japan. Hopefully, someday I'll be able to. But for now, I get to love vicariously through your experiences. Thanks for sharing them with us!
I'm planning on going to visit Japan but none of my friends seem interested in Japan, they think it's a manga filled crazy land with weird people dressing up as Pokémon. I have to show them your videos because it illustrated perfectly why I want to visit Japan, it's a beautiful country with beautiful sights and nice people with a great culture. Beautiful vlogs Rachel :) Juns videos are also very fun to watch :)
I am just filled with so much tranquility and awe watching this video - such a neat and beautiful place...that's why I love watching your videos, they give me so much insight and peace in the lovely little places you guys visit.
japanese people are just sweet ♡... what i love about them the most is that they are sooooo helpful ...i never been to japan yet ..But i know some people from there...
Wow that's awesome. Hopefully one day I will go to Japan and will go to that small town and go to that restaurant. I hope he got more people coming to his place from your video. What sweet people.
An old lady in a Udon place also lent me an umbrella when I was visiting Fushimi-inari in Kyoto. These shop owners in Japan are really nice people. (I bought one in another store, and gave the umbrella back to the lady after the visit of the shine.)
0:51 Watch out, Rachel! Those are the signs of the terrifying gang Children of the Empty String, said to have brought the ancient tradition of air guitar to Japan. They are not to be trifled with.
That's interesting that the people in more rural parts of Japan are much more social and friendly. When I was in Taiwan, I found that people in every area, regardless if I was in the biggest city or more rural town, they were all equally as chatty and friendly.
I really want to go here ^^ I love such sweet people ... it's pretty rare to find someone in America that would love to talk to you and give you umbrellas for free when it rains
I love your vlog! thank you for sharing your adventure and Japan from the inside. I'm half and haven't been back to Japan for 3 years (homesick much??😅) and have been searching for a vlog to 'take me back', and I've found it in yours! ありがとう！
Wow! You guys is really take editing more seriously now and I can see it! Keep it up :) Thanks foe making it, I also think that by going to village you can experience Japan more
I am so addicted now to watching all your videos and Jun and your gf (sorry forgot her name). these videos are so well thought out and perfectly put together- all of you are sooo amazing and such beautiful people. Stay well. You are all so funny and hilarious sometimes I just love all these videos.
The taiwanese girl also blogging in the back was echoing exactly what rachel was saying. That with the music made it seem even more dramatic and heartwarming. "They are so kind!." etc et ~3:07
The deer reminds me of a very old and trusting stag. He lived near my parents' house and was the only one who ate out of his hand. The special about him was his antlers. He was a capital twelve. Capital means to a deer that this is big, beautiful and stately. He is usually the most beautiful animal in the herd and is shot very rarely. The twelfth transmitter that lived near my parents' home was over 12 years old.
Rachel's video: "People clap four times to pray..."
Jun's video: let's wake joey up by pulling his pants
I got a little emotional when you spoke about the kindness of the local people in smaller towns. The restaurant owner showed so much hospitality and it really touched me. These kind of people are a dying breed around the world. It's simple acts of kindness that really make a difference on us.

I went back 3 years later, she did remember me.......
That was so nice :o Glad you found people so nice to you
That's the most wholesome thing I've read today!!
The deer remind me of the guardian of the forest from Princess Mononoke :D
That made me think of Princess Mononoke too and I wondered if that was the inspiration for Miyazaki for the Forest Spirit.
Brooks Austin something to look into :D
That's also why i clicked on this video. Reading god deer lol
I heard somewhere that Miyazaki did base the Forest Spirit from the God Deer.
Amrita Ghosh that's cool :)
Hi,I'm Japanese(18 years old). I'm so glad to be a lot of people who are foreign countries here. I can't speak English well,but I want to talk you... so I study English more and more. Thank you:)
Hajimemashite! Watashi wa Amerkicajin no daigaku gakusee desu. Senkoo wa Eego desu. Senkoo mo Nihongo desu.
Your English is very good Mausu-san! Keep practicing!
Midgetwithahacksaw Thanks to reply, I try my best!
Midgetwithahacksaw that romaji tho...well at least you tried :P
まうす I'd be happy to talk with you as I want to learn Japanese too! I'm 14 :) is there a way we can keep talking?
Hai!
Beautiful!, I don´t know why but the part where the man gave you the umbrellas and when you finally found people that clapped four times made me very emotional.
The restaurant owner warmed my heart.😊😊😊
I don't know why - The shrine part made me tear up. Must have been the music and the narrative.
Great video. :)
Me too..for some reason
Your travel videos are absolutely magical, Rachel. My eyes teared up a couple of times, watching the deer and listening to the clapping people at the shrine. Thank you for sharing how wonderful the rural areas of Japan can be!

Laynie Fingers You have fantastic writing! Are you a writer or something related?
Wonderful episode. Felt great to escape the city for a few minutes and enter another world -- OUT THERE!
Thank you!! :D
This video is amazing. Not only are the sights beautiful, but when you speak, I feel like I can hear how much this place meant to you. Makes me wanna visit (maybe someday). ^-^
0:50 I would bump my head so many times xD I already had issues in the JR trains haha
If anyone ever asks me what 'Fernweh' (german word for the feeling of missing certain places even if you have never been there yourself), I'm just gonna sow them this video. This place seems so beautiful, I really wanna go there and explore, meet people and have a lot of fun~

I'll definitely watch it then!
That's creepy
I really love the quality of these videos, the music, the narration the portrayal of the culture. So good.
Rachel, ever think of releasing a death metal album called "GOD DEER"?
Every day of my life
If that snippet at 4:15 is anything to go by, I'll look forward to it
Omg they replied 😂
Millie's unbelievably adorable lol, and even if you're not religious, there's just something moving and therapeutic about prayer, or at least watching those people pray, in my opinion.

Rachel & Jun Engilsh And Japanessss and chinaasssss
Rachel & Jun CC
OMG I'm A BIG FAN OF YOUR VIDEOS!! They really show the real unique Japan!
Not sure why, but when you showed the people that were clapping four times, I teared up a little bit. Shrug.
it's really beautiful seeing them pray like that and carry out their traditions;)
Thank you so much Rachel&Jun for bringing Japan to us through this little screen. I've been there only 2 times and I really miss Japan as it was my home.
I got strep throat and a fever so i haven't left my room in a few days and ive been just watching old&new rachel & jun videos. i love them theyre so heart warming, never fails to make me smile
ah man i was so happy when i saw the people clapping four times...i got goosebumps from happiness xD
Rachel you making me cry man. This was so incredibly beautiful.

What a beautiful and relaxing place. It's really great to see people being friendly. Having friendly people on your trip really enhances the experience. Also the sacred deer and chickens were awesome! :)
What a beautiful place! Such friendly people too. I'd love to visit.
I really like the way you edited this, the background music made it sound very heart-felt.

Shikibara ALT?
I was an ALT for two years in Niigata near Yahiko. Do it, so rewarding and life changing!!
Little Lucyfer an ALT is an Assistant Language Teacher~
Shikibara Ah thanks!
Ahh, I love your videos! So inspiring! & always something new to learn about Japan ♡
Thank you so much! ヽ(^ ▽ ^)ノ
I'm really glad you can enjoy our videos!

I just went to a book store 2 days ago and again experienced an older lady calling a man out, she knocked over some stuff on a shelter and that guy just freaking smiled at her and kindly laughed... she was so rude and cussed at why hes thinking thats funny, literally calling him (translated) "son of a b*tch"...
or once I worked a couple of months in fast food restaurant, you are literally being treated like shit, especially from customers :(
I often cried after work in the bathroom, I took this (very low paid job) seriously and tried my best but still people here have no patience with you and are STRAIGHT UP rude, telling you to your face that you are shit, suck etc :(

laughed way too much at the god deer 😂 Rachel's editing spot on as useful 😂
Beautiful video and I love listening to Rachels voice, it's so calming. Very well described
I can get a real sense of your emotion in this video, you convinced me I need to go there. I've added this place to my bucket list.
1:12 We're learning about ZA WAAARUUDOO!!!
GuyWithAnAmazingHat yare yare hahaha I thought I was the only person who immediately thought DIO!!
GuyWithAnAmazingHat and they're going to Northern Africa to meet DIO
I.

This is absolutely beautiful and it brought a tear to my eye that people in the world are still that kind to strangers
Such beautiful narration Rachel, thank you!
I'm pretty sure everyone could feel how much you were touched by everything and everyone in that place :D It makes me really happy that you got to experience that.
Yahiko looks so beautiful. I can't wait to visit Japan.
LOVE the shift in atmosphere towards the end!
I love how you pay attention to cultural behaviours like the clapping, really appreciate you sharing this knowledge!
I dont know why, but I really really enjoyed this one in particular. Thank you Rachel, that was magical 😊
You rarely see japan videos from youtubers outside of tokyo so thanks! i found another favorite!
I love these travel videos so much! It's so nice to get to see how wonderful and nice the people of these places are - they are as beautiful as their cities! The God Deer also reminded me of the God Deer from Princess Mononoke with the giant antlers :D
the end of the video was soo sweet!! I love little things like these!
Your videos are all SO great! Thanks for letting us experience something different from the super touristy stuff we keep hearing about, and show us what life really is like outside the big centres :D

They gave you free umbrellas? Wow.
These are the types of places I dream about visiting in Japan. Hopefully, someday I'll be able to. But for now, I get to love vicariously through your experiences. Thanks for sharing them with us!
*get to live vicariously through you. (Even though love still fits.)
aww this video is so nice! japanese history and culture is absolutely breathtaking and i've always found it so fascinating:)
I'm visit Japan for the first time, headed out tomorrow morning. Can't wait!!!
I'm planning on going to visit Japan but none of my friends seem interested in Japan, they think it's a manga filled crazy land with weird people dressing up as Pokémon. I have to show them your videos because it illustrated perfectly why I want to visit Japan, it's a beautiful country with beautiful sights and nice people with a great culture. Beautiful vlogs Rachel :) Juns videos are also very fun to watch :)
I am just filled with so much tranquility and awe watching this video - such a neat and beautiful place...that's why I love watching your videos, they give me so much insight and peace in the lovely little places you guys visit.
The music during the prayer section is one of the songs I listen to before drawing...good choice.
Just catching up on all these videos. You found so much more cool stuff to do at the school than I did. Great ring toss skills ;P
hahaha I am very experienced at trying to make things interesting
japanese people are just sweet ♡...
what i love about them the most is that they are sooooo helpful ...i never been to japan yet ..But i know some people from there...
I love how you made the 4 clapping thing seem like a Movie trailer or something, it was actually very good! I really enjoyed this video!
Best video, gotta visit next time. Good job
idk y but the clapping thing really gave me chills. i love it
Omg niigata! 懐かしい！I never thought I'd see rachael and jun head to niigata-ken, so this is a pleasant surprise.
Wow that's awesome. Hopefully one day I will go to Japan and will go to that small town and go to that restaurant. I hope he got more people coming to his place from your video. What sweet people.
I love that you're finally doing something with Mimei! I hope you can do something with PDR-san and her again soon!
This was so lovely.Thank you
This video was so beautifully made, I really enjoyed the scenery and learning about lesser known places of japan from your videos. :)
love your humour Rachel. you always make me laugh out loud.
Please make more videos like this about Japanese mythology with footage of the actual places from which they originate. Thanks for posting.
She's so taken by that chicken's plumage haha
That was a handsome chicken.
Rachel & Jun xD
This is so cool! I was planning to move to Niigata when i get older, so now i know more about it! I definitely want to go there now.
The view reminds me of the view I had in preschool in Hawaii 😭 the mountains were so beautiful
Really love your videos! They're are always so amazing!
素敵な動画ありがとう😊
Really enjoyed this video. You have a great sense of humour!
My fiancé and I are planning a trip to Japan. All the places I've seen you guys go to look so gourgous. It's gonna be hard to decide where to go
An old lady in a Udon place also lent me an umbrella when I was visiting Fushimi-inari in Kyoto. These shop owners in Japan are really nice people. (I bought one in another store, and gave the umbrella back to the lady after the visit of the shine.)

I love your vlog! thank you for sharing your adventure and Japan from the inside. I'm half and haven't been back to Japan for 3 years (homesick much??😅) and have been searching for a vlog to 'take me back', and I've found it in yours! ありがとう！
Wow! You guys is really take editing more seriously now and I can see it! Keep it up :)
Thanks foe making it, I also think that by going to village you can experience Japan more

The deer reminds me of a very old and trusting stag. He lived near my parents' house and was the only one who ate out of his hand. The special about him was his antlers. He was a capital twelve. Capital means to a deer that this is big, beautiful and stately. He is usually the most beautiful animal in the herd and is shot very rarely. The twelfth transmitter that lived near my parents' home was over 12 years old.
