As a Japanese I am always so amazed at her Japanese. Being able to read kanji and use Keigo properly is impressive and it just shows how much respect she has for our culture 😍love you Sharla ❤❤
Winter is always such a melancholic time for me, especially these days. Last year at around this time I was living in Japan and staying in Tokyo during this exact period of time and felt a bit sad about not being able to spend time with family...yet here I am a year later watching this video, feeling sad because I miss being in Japan during this time lol. I have no idea why, maybe it's because everything in Japan seems to slow down in December even more than over here where I live now. Not gonna lie, the snowy mountains, the music choice and overall vibes of this video made me tear up a bit haha. Thank you for the vlogmas and I hope you have a great Christmas!
I'm not even done watching this yet, but there is something about the vibe and music of these vlogmas episodes that just takes my stress down a notch - thanks for sharing these :) Cheers from a very green, unseasonably warm Canada lol
Sweetie, the son (29, almost 30) and I (almost 65) have been fans of Pokemon from the start, my son collected cards when he was younger!!! So we know Charmeleon and the others. Please keep the name, I love that name and that is why I became a fan of your channel at first. Lots of good fortune to you!! Stay safe and healthy sweet Sharla! Love from Pinkie
I love seeing how you collect stamps from every where you travel, I collect fridge magnets from all the interesting places i've been so one day my fridge will be covered!
@@sharlainjapan Oh gosh me either, it's always so hard to tame it there, especially because my good hair dryer doesnt work on Japan voltage D: I understand the struggle!
Thank you Sharla for the videos. I'm learning Japanese, so I love when we hear you talk it. It feels good to understand a few words here and there! I will have to share the photos of my stamp book from last year!
I am SO glad you asked us to subscribe!!! I can’t believe it, I have been watching you for at least five years and for some reason never subbed??? Thank you! Sorry I didn’t do it sooner. 😭
I love how Japan has all of those unique stamps highlighting different areas throughout the country! I wish we had those in the US, I feel like it would be so fun to collect them.😁
The subscriber button shined the first time you said it witch made me realize I wasn’t subscribed to your channel witch I thought I was 🤔 if you keeping saying in future videos to remind people it will help 💕
I'm already subscribed and it didn't change colors so I'm not sure if it does when you're not subscribed. Also thanks again for another cosy vlog! I've been loving seeing all these cool spots in Japan.
I unsubscribed to try it out and it didn't react to what Sharla said. Maybe you need to set it manually when you upload the video? BUT then when I resubscribed, it did go all glowy and rainbow!
I love 道の駅!! If you haven’t already been there, 道の駅 にのみや in Tochigi-ken is so much fun. It has every type of strawberry food you can imagine and a strawberry museum 🍓❤️
I love Oyakodon! I think I saw it first in one of Chris's videos and I found a recipe online for it. It's super easy to make and really good! I always add a lot of veggies to it too
You’re such a great palate cleanser on this platform ☺️ your videos make me feel like I’ve been to so many areas of Japan without even leaving Illinois ❤ (also, I unsubscribed temporarily just to test your theory and no, it didn’t glow in rainbow lolol)
I recently watched one of your videos and I payed special attention and I found that you did construction work with your grandpa; and it reminded me when you had reached out before my shift at a construction site
2:21 Reminds me of my favorite Farside cartoon. Kid with books in his hand pushing on the front door to Midvale School for the Gifted that's clearly marked, "PULL".
I’ve really enjoyed this vlog!! The dog theme was so adorable and I’m obsessed with that akita in the hot springs stamp , the things I’d do for a fully stamped stamp book from Japan LOL!
IT DID TURNED INTO A RAINBOW SPARKS I unsubscribed and subscribed again just to see it lmaooo. And I think I’ve been subscribed since this channel was created hahaha but worth itt
That music around the 7 min mark had a very DJ Krush vibe to it (real name Hideaki Ishi, ex Yakuza turned hip hop/trip hop artist). Anyone in Japan should go see him.
I momentarily, unsubscribed to see if the subscribe button would do the rainbow thing, and it did indeed do it the first time you said subscribe. I then promptly re-subscribed, hopefully that doesn't mess the analytics up too much. Also the trip so far looks like it's been so fun! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
These places look amazing, I would love to try all that food too! Great video Sharla! On another note, that button did not light up for me unfortunately. I was excited for a few seconds though :D
Just back from a month trip in japan these vlogs making me feel like I'm still there 😂 Miss the little noise the zebra crossings make they were so cute 😢
Just heard about the earthquake and likely the tsunami to hit Japan. My heart goes out to everyone there. It's a given but I gotta say it, please stay safe guys. 💜
I remember when I found a "kotatsu" at my grandparents house. I always thought it was a regular table but it had a stove attached, I already knew about kotatsu so finding a similar concept outside Japan was quite interesting.
Yay vlogmas. So happy got my samurai box yesterday very tasty, and always use real maple syrup, my parents were.Quebecois that moved to California. And I always have a bottle of real maple syrup! Hope you and Chris have a merry Christmas😁
i unsubscribed just for a second to test it out and it definitely works and sparkles that's super cute also love your content and that pup was so pretty
I posted a Cracker Barrel tv commercial to your twitter account. Yeah, their store is absolutely gorgeous. I'm sure you would have a field day there. A lot of beautiful stuff to buy and the food is also great!
I love hearing Sharla speak in Japanese!!
if anything, I've learned about Sharla over the years is that she has a gift for learning new languages.
I love watching Sharlemons vids! 🍋🍋
😆
🥲
@@sharlainjapan 🔥 🦎
😂
As a Japanese I am always so amazed at her Japanese. Being able to read kanji and use Keigo properly is impressive and it just shows how much respect she has for our culture 😍love you Sharla ❤❤
As a fellow Canadian, maple syrup must always be at the ready for pancakes!! 😁❤
I can't imagine pancakes being served without syrup. I'm an American but I still love my maple syrup! This is a tragedy 😂
You can take Sharla out of Canada, but you can’t take Canada out of Sharla! Lol. Fellow canadian too- ❤ maple syrup
As a European, I agree❤
I would use Vermont maple syrup
@@Nyannycake your username checks out!! 😂💕
Yall we gatta get Sharmeleon to 1M followers so she can evolve into Sharzard ❤❤❤❤
Melon lady in Japan will evolve into Lizard Lady!!
already posted it on X. 👍😉
Hahaha Sharzard 😂 I love it! I honestly can’t believe she doesn’t have 1M yet!
I wish the West would embrace the kotatsu 😮 Seems so cozy
You can find them online! I plan on getting one for my house ☺️
yeah! Just commented to my soon to be roommate that i want one XD They Agreed it looks super cozy :P
Yesss we need to get you to Sharizard!!! I remember Sharmander fondly 😭 let's help Sharla evolve gaiys!! 😤
I'd subscribe again if it would help. Can I make an alias and do that?
No rainbow glowy button 😢
But I loved the video! 🥰
No glowy button at my part either 😢

Japan is beautiful year round but northern Japan in the winter is extraordinarily beautiful
I love seeing how you collect stamps from every where you travel, I collect fridge magnets from all the interesting places i've been so one day my fridge will be covered!
Akita dogs are SO ADORABLE 😭 And all the cute stamps you got!! Ahhhhhh❤️
Sharla your hair always looks amazing.
I thought it was extra fabulous in this particular video! it looks so good!!
And your nails - always so pretty
Aw thanks, it’s always a struggle to keep it looking presentable😅 My hair type doesn’t get along with Japanese weather💀
@@sharlainjapan Oh gosh me either, it's always so hard to tame it there, especially because my good hair dryer doesnt work on Japan voltage D: I understand the struggle!

Please do!! Would love to see them🎉🎉
The dog and all the doggo stuff looks so cute!!! I love watching you collect stamps cause that looks like so much fun!
Kotatsu's are like blanket forts for your feet :3
I was gonna say the same thing, that's definitly a fort to any child. Omg if only I was 5 years old again! 👍😄
Thank you so much lovely Sharla! ❤
I am SO glad you asked us to subscribe!!! I can’t believe it, I have been watching you for at least five years and for some reason never subbed??? Thank you! Sorry I didn’t do it sooner. 😭

awww, that's what's great about Sharla she's so generous and thoughtful. That's a sign when somebody has a good heart.
The subscriber button shined the first time you said it witch made me realize I wasn’t subscribed to your channel witch I thought I was 🤔 if you keeping saying in future videos to remind people it will help 💕
14:07 Probably shove Chris in to the bed in the closet and slide the doors shut so his snoring doesn't keep anyone awake.

I am so happy you reminded us all to subscribe! Turns out, I wasn't :O I could have sworn I subscribed years ago... But no.. Thank you!!
very curious did the subscribe button really glow? couldn't find out bcs i'm subscribed already and don't want to unsubscribe😅
@@reinanaggi it did indeed! 😁
Drinking matcha, wrapping presents and watching vlogmas! Cozy time! Thanks, Sharla!
Happy holidays! 🎁✨
ill have to add this place on my trip in march thanks looks lovely
日本人でもなかなか行けないような奥地旅行記がとても楽しみです。空き家リノベシリーズも面白いです。来年もまた頑張って下さいね❤。
Yayyyyyy it’s beautiful there with the snow and adorable with all the akita doggos!
I love Oyakodon! I think I saw it first in one of Chris's videos and I found a recipe online for it. It's super easy to make and really good! I always add a lot of veggies to it too
I love how positive you are. It always makes me happy to watch your videos. Thank you.
I've been a subscriber since the Sharmander days! Watching your evolution has been fun and i look forward to the final stage! 😆😁
Thanks for sticking around so long :D ❤️🙌🏻
GLOWY RAINBOW!!! 🌈
You’re such a great palate cleanser on this platform ☺️ your videos make me feel like I’ve been to so many areas of Japan without even leaving Illinois ❤ (also, I unsubscribed temporarily just to test your theory and no, it didn’t glow in rainbow lolol)
These vlogmas vids have been more enjoyable than the Journey Across Japan vids this time around. Don't tell Chris!
I recently watched one of your videos and I payed special attention and I found that you did construction work with your grandpa; and it reminded me when you had reached out before my shift at a construction site
Sharla we need you to make a video speaking only Japanese!!
Love these vlogmas videos. You show the real beauty of Japan and places to check out. I’m definitely going to visit amori when I come to Japan
Sharla hope your channel grows to sharizard 🤗❤️
Same here 😊
🙏🙏
Thanks :D ❤Don’t care about the numbers I just wanna change the name😂😂
@@sharlainjapan welcome Sharla 🤗❤️ yes change the name so your a full grown Sharizard my favorite pokemon is Charizard!!!
Great places, loved to see everything ❤
Glad you enjoyed!❤️❤️
2:21 Reminds me of my favorite Farside cartoon. Kid with books in his hand pushing on the front door to Midvale School for the Gifted that's clearly marked, "PULL".
The stamp and postage stamp is a cool thing. That has to make an awesome collectible. Going around to different town and citys to get different ones.
It’s a lot of fun and encourages us to check out places we wouldn’t have gone to otherwise! Same with the pokemon manholes❤
@@sharlainjapanI love it the man hole covers are so cool
I’ve really enjoyed this vlog!! The dog theme was so adorable and I’m obsessed with that akita in the hot springs stamp , the things I’d do for a fully stamped stamp book from Japan LOL!
Love watching your vlogmas since 2015!! Always the best quality content from you Sharla
Aww thanks Ibby!! You’ve been around since OG vlogmas!! 🥹🙏🎄
Sharla has such perfect glazed donut nails.
Those pancakes were so beautiful I wouldn’t know whether to eat them or frame them! Of course I would totally devour them 😂
I didn't know Hachko was born in Akita! How wonderful they celebrate his birthday all these years later.
Hachiko movie broke my heart 😢 good boy waited and waited
Frohe weihnachten
IT DID TURNED INTO A RAINBOW SPARKS I unsubscribed and subscribed again just to see it lmaooo. And I think I’ve been subscribed since this channel was created hahaha but worth itt
i love these videos, i get happy when i see a new one. Thanks Sharla!
I subscribe now and it went like fireworks 🎉❤
oh my gosh those pancakes!! next time i visit Japan i will try to fins more stamps!
That music around the 7 min mark had a very DJ Krush vibe to it (real name Hideaki Ishi, ex Yakuza turned hip hop/trip hop artist). Anyone in Japan should go see him.
51 days until we land in Osaka for 3 weeks! So excited to be back in this beautiful country. Thanks for the great vlogmas videos. 😊🎄
Sharla, your Japanese is just perfect as always! Love hearing you speak it 😊
I'll never get over your hair. It's amazing!!!!!
It seems you cant stop smiling! Love to see ya having so much fun. Hope you have a happy holiday season!
the second I heard the yeee boi. I knew Joey was there.
Ellen's obsession with Cruncky is hilarious. :D
She is adorable ❤
@@Grahamrobinsonvt802 She really is!
Aaa~ every time I see these nails I think "Sharla keeps so stylish" very lovely ne ✨
Aw thank you🙌🏻 Love a simple shiny nail colour🤩✨
I momentarily, unsubscribed to see if the subscribe button would do the rainbow thing, and it did indeed do it the first time you said subscribe. I then promptly re-subscribed, hopefully that doesn't mess the analytics up too much.

I love this series Sharazard!

Merry Christmas!! 🎄✨✨
Merii Kurisumasu
Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu.
These places look amazing, I would love to try all that food too! Great video Sharla!
On another note, that button did not light up for me unfortunately. I was excited for a few seconds though :D
Happy New Year to you and Chris and both your families Sharla!!!!
Happy New Year!! 💕💕💕
How any people in the “Team” ? I am so amazed at the quality of all you guys’ videos ! Sooo addicted 😎😍😆
Just back from a month trip in japan these vlogs making me feel like I'm still there 😂
Miss the little noise the zebra crossings make they were so cute 😢
this is easily my favourite stamp-collecting channel
Bannana pancakes?? cappucino?? uhhh yes please!! 👍😄😋
I was waiting for a new video. ❤
Sharla, can you make a video about how stampbooks work? I am quite curious with they... Oh, and if you can share with us your favorite stamps? Please?
Loving these vlogs Sharla!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!❤
I remember the push for Sharmeleon. ❤I would love to see 1m for Sharizard.
Yes indeed. at 17:20 when you say "subscribe button" the think went all rainbow and shiny on me.
Just heard about the earthquake and likely the tsunami to hit Japan. My heart goes out to everyone there. It's a given but I gotta say it, please stay safe guys. 💜
I love vlogmas! I always look forward to your videos and vlogmas gives me so many of them! 🎉❤
いいお店知ってるね。美味しそう😊
I remember when I found a "kotatsu" at my grandparents house. I always thought it was a regular table but it had a stove attached, I already knew about kotatsu so finding a similar concept outside Japan was quite interesting.
I will say that I admire your restraint from buying the ginormous Akita stuffed plushy. I don't think I could've resisted.
Yay vlogmas. So happy got my samurai box yesterday very tasty, and always use real maple syrup, my parents were.Quebecois that moved to California. And I always have a bottle of real maple syrup! Hope you and Chris have a merry Christmas😁
4:25 mark the kanji is yatate or 矢立, which is an ancient writing set which I guess is used for calligraphy. Great video!
i unsubscribed just for a second to test it out and it definitely works and sparkles that's super cute also love your content and that pup was so pretty
Akita is on my bucket list Sharla, so I'm happy you are here but I wish I could have seen more sites.
I think i saw something moving. Might be a falling star 😊
The kotatsu looks so warm 💜☺️
As a Canadian, hearing people call you melon makes me sad for Pokémon. Hahaha. You’re awesome and love watching you explore!
The subscribe button did get colorful when I subscribed! So pretty! I love that!
Sharla has to try Cracker Barrel breakfast here in the states. They give you hot maple syrup with your pancakes. 👍☺️🇨🇦
I haven't been to one in years. I wonder if it still tastes the same? I too am interested in what a Canadian's review of Cracker Barrel would be.
Sounds great!!!! 😍🥞
I posted a Cracker Barrel tv commercial to your twitter account. Yeah, their store is absolutely gorgeous. I'm sure you would have a field day there. A lot of beautiful stuff to buy and the food is also great!
@@anthonynelson6671 here in South Florida we get a lot of Canadians this time of year. I'm sure many of them have already been to one.
Just catching up on your vlogmas episodes ☺🎄🎄 Such great videos, awesome content ☺ support and best wishes to you and yours from Denmark !
Thank you so much! Happy Holidays💕🎄✨
I loved the story of Hachi! It was a wonderful but sad story. ❤
Love your hair! Please do the hair colouring video.
Sharmelon and Dave in Japan are my fav 2 TH-camrs!
My mum had an Akita they are so docile till you try and break into their domain but to owners and family such sweeties.
i missed all the snow when i was in japan this year maybe next time :-) looks so nice
Happy new year 🎊 🎉
