Hi guys. We hope you enjoyed this video. This was one of the best experiences we’ve had and we highly recommend anyone visiting Japan to check this place out. Thanks again to everyone at Iizukatei, as well as to the people we met in town for welcoming us with kindness and so much warmth.
Beautiful and peaceful setting! I think it would take more than one trip to absorb all of the fabulous local atmosphere. It is nice to see Satoshi relax and be himself. Always enjoy the beauty of Japan wherever you take us. Especially when both of you are there together.
You guys are so cute! I always look forward to videos from this, and your other channels as well! Thank you for sharing your trip. I felt a calmness while I was watching. Thank you for bringing some calmness during these difficult times. Love ya! ❤👍😎👌😊💜😊
Shinichi: oh no...! They have so much... What am I going to do? Satoshi: Buy! Shinichi: what am I going to do? Satoshi gesturing towards the ware: buy it! If that's not love, I don't know what is! I also love ceramic ware and they were so pretty! Loved all of your activities, the place looked amazing and I absolutely adored watching you guys relax a bit after so much worrying! Love you both and Justin so much!
What a gorgeous hotel and village and such cordial, hospitable people! Nakagawa-machi is now on my "places to visit" list. And speaking of gorgeous--you both were handsome, as always, and so relaxed. Your yukata, Satoshi-san, looked like an early summer morning and it suited you perfectly. Thank you both for this 30-minutes of happiness. I'm overjoyed to hear that Justin is still with us. What a _good_ , precious boy. Prayers continue for the three of you, and love is always flowing your way.
OMG Satoshi is so handsome I really like him with out his hat. And you are looking great as well Shinichi I hope that you both enjoy your holiday in this beautiful location.
Thank you Satoshi for allowing us to feel like we are true friends now that you have no hat! A very handsome guy, Sinichi you are lucky to have him. Don't stop wearing your hats please. I love hats and enjoy seeing other people wearing them. Place looks amazing. On my list to visit. Hope Justine is continuing his recovery. Take care. 🤗🍀🙏
I loved that welcoming veggie plate that showcased all the local farms and the other local treats and beverages. Such a special touch and really makes you feel a connection to the whole area right from your hotel room.
Okay, Guys! THIS IS TORTURE! I WANT TO GO THERE! This looks so wonderfully peaceful, and exciting at the same time... A Zen Holiday. Japan comes in surprising "LAYERS". Thanks, for the insight. This is on my Bucket List!
Here’s some information on the prices for the room we stayed in. We stayed in the Hontaku 本宅 Room for two nights. The room with no breakfast cost ¥55000 and can accommodate up to 4 persons. Breakfast can be ordered separately at ¥1100 and dinner for ¥4400. The hotel offers 6 different types of rooms.
Seeing Satoshi sitting by the veranda in his traditional dress feels like being in another century😍. I really enjoyed the whole video,travelling goals,I have to say 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
I am the same Shinichi, I would be in serious trouble in the ceramic shop. I could spend all day there and bring back home a suitcase full! I am obsessed!🍵
@@sekhmara8590 I would love to try it some time. My Aunt was a ceramics artist for many years, so ceramics have a special place in my heart especially Japanese ceramics!❤️
@@hapamamarocks How nice! So you know how lovely it is. I worked in a historical pottery, and I just loved how grounded, and connected working with clay made me feel. And the surprise of seeing how glazed pieces come out of the kiln! Ancient, and wonderful art form. I would have been in that shop for hours! Local clay... ah! lol... I'm enthusiastic!
@@hapamamarocks forgot to mention Kintsugi, which is an artistic philosophy I absolutely love, and the pieces really are more beautiful. Imperfections make us unique.
Such a beautiful garden and house! I love those old wooden structures in Japan.The blue ceramic cup is the one I like. I have a love for all kinds of china and pottery.
This is such a great watch. Seeing parts of the hotel, the scenery, the people who reside there, and of course the food, is very relaxing. I enjoyed watching this a lot!
Wonderful video- thank you so much for introducing these amazing old house lodges in rural Japan - I will be interviewing Dr.Shelley Clark on my talkshow Seek Sustainable Japan tomorrow who is also running a lodge in rural Shizuoka prefecture in a traditional house she has remodeled. So many wonderful places around Japan to enjoy the countryside areas and have these beautiful stays too
What a gorgeous video! Beautiful accommodations, delicious looking foods, great local people and two sweet, beautiful men! Japan looks like heaven on Earth. Sigh!
This is the first time I have seen one of your videos. I enjoyed every moment of it. Natalie is an absolute gem. You guys did a wonderful job of explaining the tastes, textures and flavours of your meal. Now you have a new subscriber and I look forward to all your videos
Stunning all around! Gorgeous garden and accommodation and gorgeous ceramics too. I would go crazy in there wanting to buy everything 💕 Also nice to see a hatless Satoshi - very handsome! 😊
I love this old Mansion wow, thank you for showing'! And what beautiful gesture of Satoshi, opening the Gate for His Partne 😍 well OK Shinichi is walking with Camera... But still... My heart is melting. Sorry I'm an hopeless romantic 🙈
Awesome video guys. This place is definitely on my radar for potential places to stay someday. The cloudy day lighting actually really helps emphasize the appeal of the place IMO. I know a lot of people love very sunny weather and atmosphere, but that dimmer light from a cloudy day just gives it such a natural and wholesome appeal. Like you're experiencing a real day in the area, where clear weather isn't necessary to show you how great it is.
Satoshi's posture and movements are so elegant. Style hard in your kimono Satoshi! I agree with you Shinichi, Those pots are gorgeous. What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely exquisite! Thank you so much for sharing this treasure. We are planning our first trip to Japan for 2022. This will be included in our “must stay at” list!
Seeing Satoshi without a hat is an extremely rare sight! I love that place. I'd love to go. The young man at the ceramics shop looked really handsome. Shame we couldn't see him without a mask on.
Oh my GOSH!!!! This place is the number one place i'd want to visit first. I love the local support they do, and sense of community. Thank you guys so much for sharing this wonderful experience with us, and will look forward to the future videos!
This place took my breath away! So beautiful! Absolutely loved the ceramics, food and everything! You're both looking really handsome guys! Time stopped for u. I can't away for the next videos! Take care guys. Love u ❤️
This was a GREAT video! Very original. I am curious how you heard of them. This looks like a perfect getaway from the city to enjoy authentic village life. Was this the first time Satoshi was in a video without a head covering? He looks even more handsome "au naturel." You both look great! and I am happy you both are staying healthy.
I’m speechless, and that’s really hard to do! I am so very happy that you both got to experience something so special! Everything from start-to-finish was absolutely amazing, and that 10 year old umeboshi?!? Goodness! Oh, the Ayu! I LOVE Ayu! Thank you both for taking the time to explain everything about Lizukatei and Nakagawa Machi! It was as if I was there right by your side! I cannot wait to see the footage from the rest of your trip! Both of you are kakkoii, but brother Satoshi…..Hontoni kakkoii ne! I love that you took off your cap! 😍😍😍
I'm surprised you bought four bowls instead of five. I remember a shop in Tokyo that sold the laquerware bowls and they wouldn't sell four to a German couple. I remember reading somewhere that it had to do with "shi" being bad luck or something. But, I agree, I'd have a hard time deciding what ceramic items to get! They're amazing!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video! Very peaceful and beautiful, worth every minute, second and money spent to create and make this video. I would love to visit this town and immerse in its beauty. Thank you for sharing this with us. It's nice to see Satoshi very relax and not hiding in different hats. Take care guys.
I know he was wearing a mask, but I'm a sucker for a cute ceramicist 😊 What an exquisite experience from start to finish! Beautifully filmed and edited, too - just superb. 😁
13:31- 14:10 I can hear Flamingo by Kenshi Yonezu being played in the shop! So glad I noticed it! Am a big fan of him, alongside other Japanese artists as well!
Shinichi & Satoshi, I love,love,love, the house. Iam so gellie that I wish I were there with you. Again, you have out done it with visiting such unique place for tourist to visit. Just as i think japan can't be anymore spectacular. This place is just beautiful. Thank you for taking me as a viewer to experience it through your video and put this on my bucket list to enjoy myself. I would love to vaction amd relax there. Iam happy you guys had a good time with a well deserved getaway. Take care! See you tomorrow.
Beautiful. Loved that the accommodation is Japanese in style though very modern interior. It will appeal to Western people who are not used to sitting on the floor though they're still having a "local" experience. Being shown around the town and the food options are extra lovely touches. As an Australian I liked seeing Natalie there and I 100% agree with Satoshi just a little Vegemite goes a long way. Always go for less if you're unsure. Can't wait to return to Japan when looking at your videos. 🙏🏻
oohh, Iizukatei looks so amazing! And the entire time with the ceramics was just.. mood. I love ceramics myself and would have loved that blue bowl Shinichi found.
Really enjoyed this video, such beauty and nature. I would have gone crazy with the ceramics!!!! The house is a dream home and I thought the vegemite was a nice nod to your Australian guide. I'm from NZ and have always preferred Vegemite to Marmite. Great Video
So beautiful. The peacefulness of the countryside along with their amazing history. I agree that the pottery is so exquisite. I love everything about it. So much history. Thank you for sharing. Love your rice bowels and other treasures. So lovely. Dinner. Looks so incredible. 💐
Loved hearing Natalie's New Zealand accent! Enjoying your videos from here in Tauranga, New Zealand. Counting down the months until we can get back to Japan!
What a dream , this would definitely entice me to come and experience the beauty of Japan. The food is amazing and the setting is so tranquil . Thankyou for the amazing experience so glad to see you both relaxed and able to be together ❤💋
This was an absolutley amazing video!!!!!!!! I love these tours and stays that you guys do..... You make us feel like we are there and this place looks so amazing!!!!!! Cannot wait for more videos from your stay, you guys are so amazing!!!!!!!!!
That looks like a lovely area to visit and the hotel looks amazing. Thanks for letting those of us who may never get to see it in person experience it with you.
That looks like a wonderful wonderful place!! How lovely thanks for sharing. Hopefully one day this Kansas farm man will get to visit such a wonderful place!!
What a gorgeous place to visit! I'm so happy the two of you had this opportunity. Iizukatei is an amazing place, and the food looks so delicious as well. The surrounding community is also so beautiful. I am so glad to see you both relaxing there, including Satoshi going without his cap. Satoshi, you look great both with and without your cap - sending good wishes to you, and also to Shinichi! I hope you both can return to this place one day.
It was first when I read the comments that I noticed that we saw Satochi without one of his nice hats on - I just thought that he looked as handsome as always! 🙂
Wow…they thought of everything! True hospitality…what a nice getaway that’s also not too far away, yet a world away at the same time! Best of both worlds! ☯️
Shinichi, as soon as I saw that cup, I KNEW automatically you would go out and get several for your collection! 🤗 I think you, Satoshi and Baby Justin need a home like that in your future! I can see you both expand your channel to include gardening and home decor! p.s. I LOVED the ceramics tour...my favorite!
SOOOO looking forward to the other videos of the town, guys! 🥰 Thanks for sharing all of this with us. I’m obsessed with “やきもの” (ceramics), too. 🍵🫖 One of my favorite places is the ひみつ (secret) mountain area of Imari/Okawachiyama in Saga-ken (my husband is a Kyushu boy. LOL!) xoxo Christine in sunny Colorado, USA 🙋🏼♀️♥️
Would love to stay at a place like this! And wow, it's amazing how they dipped the cup in the glaze and after firing it turned into so many different colors!
The mansion is exquisite. They have everything and the food is healthy. Also, the short clip of ceramic making actually did make me appreciate ceramics. They're beautiful!
What a beautiful place! I am so interested in staying there and do the activities you guys did! It would be such an amazing experience! 🥰 I really love this video. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this! I am in love with this hotel - the rooms, the décor, the food! As others have already said, t was very nice to see you, Satoshi-san, without a hat - you are a handsome gentleman regardless of whether you wear a hat or not. Shinichi-san, I feel for you wanting all that wonderful pottery! Can't wait to see more of your videos of your trip!
I love it. It is so beautiful. I never have eaten Japanese food but it all looked delicious. I could imagine myself being there in all its peacefullness so awesome. 👍
Great idea to get out in other parts of Japan like the young man Chris in" Abroad in Japan.".seek out other adventures now.....get the shot and go forth and travel..great video today..Love old buildings and history..so much to video on in Japan...Thank you..
Unbelievable! Thank you for sharing. Very informative. I now know something about Japanese breakfast and really enjoyed the narrative and filmography. You guys rock!
OMG! Loved this video! The hotel amenities- all you have to bring are your clothes. The food and service❤ Did management cook your rice? If they did, is that standard? The history of the hotel is very interesting. The town with it natural well is lovely and the pottery! I love pottery two. Satoshi is handsome with or without his hats. See him sitting reminded me of the wise karate masters I've seen on TV. Full of knowledge and reverence. He is such a sweetheart. Looking forward to other videos about this town.Love you guys. Prayers for your sweet boy, Justins🙏🏾❤💯
Hi guys. We hope you enjoyed this video. This was one of the best experiences we’ve had and we highly recommend anyone visiting Japan to check this place out. Thanks again to everyone at Iizukatei, as well as to the people we met in town for welcoming us with kindness and so much warmth.

I hope you guys are well. Praying for the families and every soul suffering right now in Japan.
If you guys ever come back to the states you should come to Boston and Provincetown Massachusetts
Wonderful video, and yet another place on my list of places I should see.
Shinichi: oh no...! They have so much... What am I going to do?
Satoshi: Buy!
Shinichi: what am I going to do?
Satoshi gesturing towards the ware: buy it!
If that's not love, I don't know what is!
I also love ceramic ware and they were so pretty! Loved all of your activities, the place looked amazing and I absolutely adored watching you guys relax a bit after so much worrying! Love you both and Justin so much!

I agree! He is very handsome!
He looks great both ways ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Champlin Auer and what is this supposed to be? Your youtube channel?
OMG Satoshi is so handsome I really like him with out his hat. And you are looking great as well Shinichi I hope that you both enjoy your holiday in this beautiful location.
Thank you Satoshi for allowing us to feel like we are true friends now that you have no hat! A very handsome guy, Sinichi you are lucky to have him.
Don't stop wearing your hats please. I love hats and enjoy seeing other people wearing them.
Place looks amazing. On my list to visit.

Is that ¥55000 per night or for both nights combined?
Thanks for the information 👍🏻
Wow! That was a bargain for what was offered even if that was per night. Everything was so perfect
May we know the US$ equivalent of room accommodations?
So handsome Satoshi-San, with and without a hat!
He is a FOX and a sense of humor and kindness to match..wish he was straight..;) I would fly over and date..;)
I knew i wouldn't have been the only one that noticed it in the opening lol!
Agreed
I was going to say the same, he looks great either way.
Seeing Satoshi sitting by the veranda in his traditional dress feels like being in another century😍. I really enjoyed the whole video,travelling goals,I have to say 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
I am the same Shinichi, I would be in serious trouble in the ceramic shop. I could spend all day there and bring back home a suitcase full! I am obsessed!🍵

With Justin doing better and you two having some time in this place, I am just glad to see you two happy again
Wow! That house design is the most amazing I have ever seen, beautiful! Whoever designed it is very talented.
Thank you gentlemen, for taking this grandma to this lovely & wonderful place. You are both a true joy to "travel" with! teehee!

Wow, everything is amazing. I hope you can visit more historic cultural places like this! It's perfect
This is the life that I wanted to live, being surrounded by the peaceful nature 🥺.. This is my reason for going to Japan now 🥰!!
That is exquisite 💜💜💜 I would be hesitant to even speak - it’s so serene…
As an Australian, I was tickled pink to see the Vegemite 😍😍😍
I love this old Mansion wow, thank you for showing'! And what beautiful gesture of Satoshi, opening the Gate for His Partne 😍 well OK Shinichi is walking with Camera... But still... My heart is melting. Sorry I'm an hopeless romantic 🙈

Beautiful place!
And Satoshi is rocking that no-hat look, go Satoshi!

What an exquisite experience from start to finish! Beautifully filmed and edited, too - just superb. 😁
He had a lovely voice 🥰
30 minutes of quality tabieats content ❤️
13:31- 14:10 I can hear Flamingo by Kenshi Yonezu being played in the shop! So glad I noticed it! Am a big fan of him, alongside other Japanese artists as well!

Love the large sandstone step from the grass to the house!!!!! 👍🏻

What a stunning place. Love this video so much. Would love to visit some day.
That looks like a lovely area to visit and the hotel looks amazing. Thanks for letting those of us who may never get to see it in person experience it with you.
I miss Japan sooooo much! Great people and culture.

I love the videos that show japanese food and culture the best. Satoshi san looks wonderful without the hat!
Loved every minute of this video. And that FOODDDDDDDDD 😍
This place looks gorgeous and peaceful. I would definitely go for a relaxing de-stress stay while on a japan vacation
It was first when I read the comments that I noticed that we saw Satochi without one of his nice hats on - I just thought that he looked as handsome as always! 🙂
Wow…they thought of everything! True hospitality…what a nice getaway that’s also not too far away, yet a world away at the same time! Best of both worlds! ☯️
Shinichi, as soon as I saw that cup, I KNEW automatically you would go out and get several for your collection! 🤗 I think you, Satoshi and Baby Justin need a home like that in your future!

a serene corner right next to the town streets is something special 😊
I love it. It is so beautiful. I never have eaten Japanese food but it all looked delicious. I could imagine myself being there in all its peacefullness so awesome. 👍
*Satoshi, かわいい!* I'm glad. *Thanks for allowing us to see what you enjoyed! Such a private & serene corner of the world,*
Great idea to get out in other parts of Japan like the young man Chris in" Abroad in Japan.".seek out other adventures now.....get the shot and go forth and travel..great video today..Love old buildings and history..so much to video on in Japan...Thank you..

Unbelievable! Thank you for sharing. Very informative. I now know something about Japanese breakfast and really enjoyed the narrative and filmography. You guys rock!
OMG! Loved this video! The hotel amenities- all you have to bring are your clothes. The food and service❤ Did management cook your rice? If they did, is that standard? The history of the hotel is very interesting. The town with it natural well is lovely and the pottery! I love pottery two. Satoshi is handsome with or without his hats. See him sitting reminded me of the wise karate masters I've seen on TV. Full of knowledge and reverence. He is such a sweetheart. Looking forward to other videos about this town.Love you guys. Prayers for your sweet boy, Justins🙏🏾❤💯
