I'm a potter, good first try on the cups! Its difficult to get to the point where you're able to control the clay. And great idea to purchase some nice, new cups. Objects like these can enrich your everyday rituals. Japan has such a rich ceramics history and thereby an endless number of skilled potters, so might as well imbibe!
I swear, Sharla, you always manage to find the best places! Beautiful gardens, picturesque villas, delicious foods, wonky pottery...you just have a natural ability to find all the unknown but wonderful things Japan has to offer! With Emma and crew around, it's just been getting even better!
The laughter came spilling out if me at the tea cup scene. I wasn't expecting it and of course you wasn't either. That festival looked very exciting and fun. I loved the garden and Villa. It was super beautiful and peaceful looking! Thanks for sharing. ♥️👍
Got back to my first trip to Japan 2 days ago. It changed the way I look at everything. Already planning a trip back for longer next year and am inspired to venture further north thanks to your channel. Hope you’re doing well ❤️
I'm watching this outside in the early evening in the south part of the u.s.... it took me a second to realize the cicadas were on the video and not in my backyard! We hear cicadas nonstop in the summer. :)
Yay...Sharla and Emma...fan of both of you...ty for this video. You are not just showing pretty scenery , you also inform us and educate us ,ty for that too.
I am sharing your channel with all my customers at my shop . I cut hair and I am meeting so many travelers going to Japan and I WHIP out my phone to show them all your videos on here and on your older channel THEY LOVE YOU I wish I knew more people I am screaming it to as many people as I can! LOVE YOU!
You are so lovely!. I enjoy watching your videos. I hope to visit Japan next year before the olympics start and enjoy the food and take in the Japanese culture. Thank you for giving me an insight into this great country
You’re videos are so amazing. You’re so informative and you always show the most amazing places! The attitude you present shows how passionate you are about Japan! You’re living the life I want to life, and hope to live soon. That little bit about the 11 characters incorporated into the number of stairs was so cool. And the kanji walls are really amazing. Keep doing all the wonderful things you do, and I look forward to seeing more!
Literally even just looking at the garden through the video was relaxing enough. I can't imagine how much more relaxing it would be to be there in real life.
You two looked very pretty I love the dresses and the hat. I really enjoyed the videos you always make me want to go visit these places which I wish I could. I ever get a chance to go to Japan will have to re-watch all your videos. I can't wait to see the teacups.
Your thumbnail for this video, its beautiful and you look beautiful too!!! I just started watching your videos a few days ago after binge-watching abroad in Japan. You have done so much you're so smart and pretty. I appreciate your videos and the realness you give, even though you say sometimes when you're not happy you still act happy and and that annoys people. Well, that's just stupid that it annoys people. I find your kindness and happiness refreshing. your so smart it almost makes me jealous 😅. Anyway I appreciate your realness and content keep up the good work. I'll keep watching I've subscribed and hit the Bell. 👍
What a beautiful video, you did an amazing job filming the garden and villa. I love that you are showcasing smaller towns and the unique beauty of Japan! I hope you are doing well!
You’re such a fun person!! I enjoy watching your channel and am excited to go to japan next year. It’s all because of you that I made this decision. Thanks for being you❕❕❕
Oh man this morning keeps getting better wake up to go on a run in nice cool weather come home to my amazon package and the icing on top a sharla video to watch during breakfast
OMG... I'm so happy because I've never seen foreigners visiting Ibaraki before like this even though Ibaraki is so close to Tokyo. Thank you for visiting😍
Good job on your video editing!!! I can tell the difference in your video production quality. Thanks for the video, I love seeing the Japanese culture!
Thanks for the video! :) You seemed super excited/hyper at the beginning (yay adventure with Emma) and then seemed to become more relaxed as the video went on. Maybe it's just the zen feeling of tea and Japanese gardens? LOL. I agree, black swans are beautiful! Have a great time on your roadtrip!
Great video Sharla, it was nice seeing all the different places you and Emma checked out, lovely garden, both mochi looked good, The salad at the end looked really good. I’m happy you and Emma had fun.
Great video Sharla! The Kairakuen Garden and the villa are stunning!! My interest in Japan was first inspired by James Clavell's novel Shogun. I'm fascinated by the Edo period and by the role of fellow Scot, Thomas Blake Glover in the Meiji restotation. So this was another glimpse into the period. Loved the pottery as well. I loved your choice of teacups. ( I actually said ""They're beautiful!" before the caption came up saying you had bought them!) Especially like the blue one!
Loved the video! Seeing more of Japan with you is great, especially exploring all of what other towns have to offer. Those gardens are incredible, I think I could spend a day there writing, for sure. Definitely adding this to my list of things to experience in Japan, but I feel I will need to make multiple trips to experience everything, haha. The cup making would've been hella fun but looks difficult! Thanks for sharing your day with us as always! :)
So many things to see in this vid! Ibaraki seems great! So calm and serene, (those flight of stairs though in the villa, I can just imagine myself tumbling all the way down).
Went there 3 years ago when I visited Tokyo. Went to Oarai Machi to visit the acquarium. The beach next to it was so serene and clean. Seafood market Osaka Naten goku was so fresh and dare I say, better tasting than Tsukiji market at the time.
As far as I understood it cannot be a coincidence! Urs and Emma's both of ur new* video* notifications popped at the same time!! And from the same destination's if I'm not mistaken!! Hmmmm it made me happy 😊😊.
your videos about japan are always so informative, i love it! i always learn so much after watching your videos ♥ ive always wanted to go to japan and am planning a trip soon with my boyfriend ^.^
hey Shar! hello from chile! I love your videos, when I was in japan last march I tried to visit as many places I saw in your videos... it was a great help! thank you so much ;)
I loved the sound of the cicadas. Even though we don’t have them in South Africa, we do have crickets and other noisy insects 😂 it reminds me so much of summer. This place is definitely on my bucket list!
Yay Mito! I use to live in Tochigi and we would drive to Mito every so often. I've had the pleasure of going to Kairakuen Garden twice for plum blossom season twice but four years apart. Very pretty; very impressive; very busy lol. We use to go to the aquarium; Hitachi Seaside park; the ocean, and of course Costco. 🤣
The kairakuen garden and the edo period villa are just amazing. Places like this are just beautiful and cool. One place i want to visit in japan if i ever get the chance to go is Musashizuka Park in Kumamoto where miyamoto musashi grave is at. Great video sharmeleon and thank you for showing use lovely places like this.
Just hearing the sound of a semi makes me sweat - association with hot summer days. I have always passed through Ibaraki to other places, but I think I should give it a look. Thanks!
Hahahaha when your pottery goes wrong is my favourite part 😂 I had a great time travelling with you!
Haha it was going so well WHAT HAPPENED😂😂
That legit freaked me out! 😂
Sharla said she'd make an extra cup to pick the best two and the universe said "ah nah"
Lucky she made two, the other one can be a soap dish
I'm from ibaraki and so so happy that she came here and introduced everyone the attractions of this city

My favorite part was probably listening to the cicadas, it’s such a childhood memory
I'm watching this outside in the early evening in the south part of the u.s.... it took me a second to realize the cicadas were on the video and not in my backyard! We hear cicadas nonstop in the summer. :)
Yes! Love the sound of semi!
I love that your always smiling! You have such a beautiful smile and it puts a smile on my face, even when I dont feel like smiling at all 😊

Stephanie Restless In Seattle Awww!! 😭❤️

Sounds from Japan I like:
Green crosswalk signal
FamilyMart door chime
Cicadas
Absolutely lol
So nostalgic
And the school bell! Which isn't only used for school but for anything!
seriously i love these 3 sounds as well lol
the crows
Train announcement, especially in Kyoto with accent
The music before a traim arrives.
I have watched you for five years now and I love your videos! They always make me smile🥰

Thanks for the kind words Joshua! Very much appreciated☺️ Happy holidays!!
@@sharlainjapan Happy Holidays to you as well! I hope you can continue to stay safe in these tough times with everything going on.
Literally even just looking at the garden through the video was relaxing enough. I can't imagine how much more relaxing it would be to be there in real life.
I lived in Mito, Ibaraki for two years. I miss it everyday! Ibaraki is a beautiful prefecture
That little "help pls" was so cute lol
You just keep getting better and better. Thank you for sharing your lovely day!
You two looked very pretty I love the dresses and the hat. I really enjoyed the videos you always make me want to go visit these places which I wish I could. I ever get a chance to go to Japan will have to re-watch all your videos. I can't wait to see the teacups.

Great video Sharla i have learned a lot and I want to visit the temple and eat at the cafe that garden salad looked big
Yay! Love all your day trip videos. Bookmarking that garden for my next visit.
I know life isn't always awesome,but thanks for bringing something awesome into the world every day with your videos!
Amazing video! Love this kind of video! And what an great soundscape of all those cicada singing! I felt like deep diving in a manga or anime!
Thanks for the video! :) You seemed super excited/hyper at the beginning (yay adventure with Emma) and then seemed to become more relaxed as the video went on. Maybe it's just the zen feeling of tea and Japanese gardens? LOL. I agree, black swans are beautiful! Have a great time on your roadtrip!
Hi Sharla! Glad you had a fun time!
I am going to Japan next month for my 1st trip
I am so excited!
Great video Shar! Might be the best of yours yet.
Thank you for taking us along on this adventure; I really loved the street festival, everything looks amazing and I bet it smelled just as good~!
After work this is my relax time, I just watch the happy pretty girls having fun and I'm smiling again
Great video Sharla, it was nice seeing all the different places you and Emma checked out, lovely garden, both mochi looked good, The salad at the end looked really good. I’m happy you and Emma had fun.
The grape mochi was the best :D
That villa looks absolutely stunning and breathtaking!

Can’t wait to see how they turn out, don’t think it’s going to be pretty😂
@@sharlainjapan Haha, well they'll make a fun talking piece when you have visitors 😊
So many things to see in this vid! Ibaraki seems great! So calm and serene, (those flight of stairs though in the villa, I can just imagine myself tumbling all the way down).
the sparkle in your eyes and your laugh made my day Thank you
Man, what a fun video. I loved the festival and garden the most. It looked so beautiful!
Went there 3 years ago when I visited Tokyo. Went to Oarai Machi to visit the acquarium. The beach next to it was so serene and clean. Seafood market Osaka Naten goku was so fresh and dare I say, better tasting than Tsukiji market at the time.
Nice! It's always great to get out of Tokyo and see what else Japan has to offer!
As far as I understood it cannot be a coincidence! Urs and Emma's both of ur new* video* notifications popped at the same time!! And from the same destination's if I'm not mistaken!! Hmmmm it made me happy 😊😊.
What a beautiful garden! Thanks for taking us there! 😁
Thank you for coming to Ibaraki!
I live in Ibaraki.
I always watch your channel to study English😃
Ibaraki is lovely! You’re lucky to live there☺️💕
Hooray! A new video! Honestly loved the cicadas in the background. Reminded me of my trip to China 😂
I remember seeing those giant floats in one of Chris' videos! So happy to see another video from you Sharla! Hope you're doing well!
your videos about japan are always so informative, i love it! i always learn so much after watching your videos ♥ ive always wanted to go to japan and am planning a trip soon with my boyfriend ^.^
I absolutely love love this video Sharla!!! Sooooo beautiful
こんにちは陶芸は良いですよね。集中すると、自分の本質や在りたい姿など、見えないものが徐々に形に成ってくる。そして何より出来上がった姿に感動するし、それから土が気持ちが良いんですよね（微笑） 私も体巡り茶があれば買ってしまう方ですが、何より最後の箏の音が雅で、特にイイですねぇ。
Love these vids so much. Thanks for sharing Japan with travel starved peeps like me. Much love, light and positivity from Montana. ✨💖✨
I find your voice so soothing. Great video thanks.
We love you!! I'm glad to see that you are doing a lot better, you look so much happier!! Keep on keeping on!! ✨💛
Tysm ;-;❤️
hey Shar! hello from chile!
I love your videos, when I was in japan last march I tried to visit as many places I saw in your videos... it was a great help! thank you so much ;)
Gorgeous trip! Thanks, Sharla!
It's really nice seeing more of the 'out of the way' places in Japan! Great video :D
This was such a good video keep up the wonderful work!!! I love how you even let us know the history of the places in Japan you visit!!! 😁
Your videos are always so happy and heartwarming it's like a mini vacation just watching you have fun :)
Thank you for this video, I'm now adding Ibaraki to the itinerary for the trip I'm planning!
Thank you for mentioning the stair in the villa. I just saw Emma's video and noticed that the stairs looked just like in all the castles.
I loved the sound of the cicadas. Even though we don’t have them in South Africa, we do have crickets and other noisy insects 😂 it reminds me so much of summer. This place is definitely on my bucket list!
Yay Mito! I use to live in Tochigi and we would drive to Mito every so often. I've had the pleasure of going to Kairakuen Garden twice for plum blossom season twice but four years apart. Very pretty; very impressive; very busy lol.
We use to go to the aquarium; Hitachi Seaside park; the ocean, and of course Costco. 🤣
I love when two of my favorite youtubers get together!
you came in ibaraki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, Ibaraki is definitely on the list next time I travel to Japan!
I visited Tokyo in August, and the sound of the cicadas brought me right back!
That thumbnail though....DAAAAAAAAAAAAMM
Hi your smile makes me happy !
Enjoy all of Japan !
From Kamakura city🌸
It was cool to see Kairakuen in the summer. I visited there last year and got to see the plum blossoms.
I went to Ibaraki for New Year's to see the sunrise this year! I'd like to actually experience what you did there next time I go
I live in Ibaraki! Glad you had a good time
Love the video you are great fun your laugh is so infectious makes me smile and0 laugh every time
Sharla creates new language as she snacks on delicious food!
Ibaraki looks so peaceful. Loved this video
Yes! I'm always in the mood for adventures in Japan with you! ☺️🤗
I actually like the sound of cicadas. I find it equally satisfying to cat’s purring. :)
THAT villa is a great place and also the big park across the bridge too!!
I'm so glad you're introducing me to my hometown! I want a lot of foreigners to come to Ibaraki.
The kairakuen garden and the edo period villa are just amazing. Places like this are just beautiful and cool. One place i want to visit in japan if i ever get the chance to go is Musashizuka Park in Kumamoto where miyamoto musashi grave is at. Great video sharmeleon and thank you for showing use lovely places like this.
Love the sound of cicadas. Cicadas= memories of childhood in summer. Most people think they're annoying though.
Those cicadas took me back to a holiday in Italy.
Yay... my fav japan tourism youtuber uploaded new video... apart from Chris Broad of course
I am Japanese. And I live in Ibaraki.
Thanks for making a nice video!😊
🥰🌸
Sharla eating the mochi is such a mood 🍡🤤
茨城来てくれたんだー
ありがとう〜 thank you!
Awesome vlog, that garden looks so beautiful! And you look so happy and healthy, it's a pleasure to spend the day with you 😊
The scenery is beautiful
Just hearing the sound of a semi makes me sweat - association with hot summer days. I have always passed through Ibaraki to other places, but I think I should give it a look. Thanks!
Thank you for introduce Ibaraki prefecture.
Best thumbnail youve done.
Aw thanks! Emma took the shot for me :D
Thanks for showing us some of Ibaraki- my mom's from Hitachi-shi
Thank you for taking us exploring once again.
I love the little bits of history ❤
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing.
