Agreed! I went solo in spring 2019! As a solo female i felt safe and at one point asked for directions from a stranger and they were very kind and helpful. 😊
@@system3008 I, as a man, felt safer in Tokyo, one of the biggest if not THE biggest cities in the world, than in Jonkoping, here in Sweden. And Sweden is also supposed to be a very safe country.
My grandpa is from Niigata, he passed away before I was born. I have never had the privilege of visiting, so I really appreciate seeing Niigata, and Japan in general. Thank you.
Interesting I only watch these videos when I’m feeling motivated lol. When I feel unmotivated watching these videos just makes me sad because I feel like I’ll never get there.
I recently watched a young traveler on TH-cam going to Japan for the first time and saying he loved doing it alone. That there is a difference between being alone and being lonely, that he did find happiness being alone. Being able to sit on the train and not be disturbed, eat quietly at a restaurant and enjoy the views of the country without being distracted by loud people was to him wonderful. I am getting tired of the obnoxious UK and will try and come to Japan when it opens up for some peace and quiet and the chance to be alone and happy in my thoughts. Thanks Sharla
I will likely never experience Japan but because of you Sharla, I have a deep appreciation for it. I have been watching you for 7-8 years! That's crazy!
I know the feeling. I hope I will get to travel someday, but for now at least I can experience these videos. Thanks to Sharla! (I can't remember how long I've been subscribed, though. lol)
Never give up on the dream! Flights are getting cheaper every year, even from here in the UK which is almost the furthest away from Japan flights are decently priced and you can definitely experience Japan on a budget even if it means staying in a hostel and mostly living out of konbini, while still being able to have 1 or 2 luxuries like a night at a ryokan or onsen or a trip out of the city!
@@sharlainjapan Same here. In fact, I haven't even cared about whether or not I will, since just before Fukushima, and yet I still watched everything Chris made, and 90% of Sharla's videos since she appeared on his channel, because I DID want to go to Japan two decades ago as a teenager lol. If I ever do get to go, I just want to go to the Ghibli Museum.
I was watching sharla also for about 8 years on and off. Now i got back to her videos because right now I am finnally going to visit Japan! I hope you will also have this opportunity. You never know what future brings (i am from the not very rich country in the middle/east europe so it wasn too probable for me as well)
So glad to have a channel that consistently delivers amazing Japan travel content. Thanks Sharla for bringing Japan to all the people who are still waiting to come and visit!
The tub boats in Sado were so unique and relaxing to see! Reminds me of the famous scene in Spirited Away! Thank you for showing us the city and countryside Sharla looked like a wonderful time 😊
@@esclave29 yea her vids been hitting me in the feels this year. especially cuz im nostalgic after falling in love with abroad in japan a few years back and started to learn Japanese
Sharla your editing/filming abilities have only improved. The detail of showing us the train map was a very helpful visual. We know so much about Japan because of you! Thank you ❤🎉
It was so much fun to see your adventure to Sado Island Sharla! We were going to go there for the Sado Festival 3 years ago, but there was a big typhoon, which cancelled the ferry for us... so we didn't end up making it there! We hope to go there soon! Shukunegi fishing village was SO beautiful, as well as the Taraibune! So happy you found a friendly cat after the taraibune ride!! The Ryokan overlooking the lush tanbo rice fields looked so relaxing! Beautiful video Sharla! 😻
I am a country pumpkin and loved to see the greenery everywhere. The Garden was gorgeous, the rice fields were beautiful and the fishing village looked really soothing for some reason. I would love to go there. Maybe some day I will. ~
I immensely enjoyed that video. The view of Shibuya was gorgeous and made me feel nostalgic. I love the city view at night. And all those nice and different places you took us to. Thank you for your hard work ! Such a nice video !
With the borders now re-opening in Japan this video show casing both city and country has just stirred my travel juices to return for another visit of this fabulous country. Arigato gozaimasu 🥰
I just saw that on the Apple Juice on the train, it said "Hygge". That is a Danish word that means "a quality of cosiness (= feeling warm, comfortable, and safe)" .. I was surprised to see a Danish word in Japan.
Wow that Shibuya observation deck looks awesome. Definitely gonna visit when I come to Japan again. That pointy glass park in Shibuya looked really cool too. Man Japan is just so beautiful. Thanks for showing us around the city and Sado Island Sharla.
I will probably never be able to visit Japan, because I don't own a lot of money, but through your and Chris's videos, it's like I can go on a holiday every weekend from the safety of my room! Thank you so much for your awesome content!
The views from Shibuya Sky were amazing but it also made me so nervous!! I know that there was glass but it was so clear I was afraid you would fall off the edge 😅 Sado Island looked so beautiful and relaxing! Kudos to that woman driving (paddling?) the tub boat, that seems like it would be hard work!
I'm from Niigata and used to go to Sado island with my family every summer when I was little. I enjoyed watching your video, and I hope you liked Niigata prefecture.
We have a ton of cicadas also in Missouri. I live near a river and I think the love the water. They can be annoying but as long as the don’t touch me I’m okay. Our temperature has dropped overnight from 95* to 69* degrees. The observation deck is neat but I wouldn’t last it would scare me to death. I can’t even hardly watch. One thing I’ve noticed that I absolutely love is the transportation system in Japan. Where I live there is zero transportation so you better own a car. The island is Amazing.
Your videos really are my "happy place" I can go to whenever I'm feeling stressed or down about anything. This was so peaceful and inspiring to watch. Thank you for sharing such wonderful journeys Sharla! :) Appreciate it so very much!
Everything about this solo trip to sado was so relaxing and rejuvenating! Can’t wait for borders to open.. so much on that to do list! Thanks again sharla for another awesome travel vid with great info.
Oh, I was very lucky to be invited by a Tokyo University to stay in that hotel with the stunning garden quite a few years back. It's where I took one of my all time favourite photos from the restaurant looking out onto the pagoda surrounded by autumnal trees. The garden is an absolute piece of art.
I couldn’t wait to watch this video. Thank you so much. Your videos always bring me peace and enjoyment. I would love to visit the old fishing town on Sado Island. I have been watching your videos since about late 2014 early 2015 and used them to help me plan my trip to Japan than I took in 2016. I can’t wait to plan my next trip with all your great content.
Sharla , great video! I have always had a love for Japan and it's culture. I was born in São Paulo Brazil. And the city has the largest concentration of individuals of Japanese descent outside of Japan. Looking forward to visiting Japan soon!
I really don't see many travelers show Japan country side. This was an eyes opener for me. I mostly see a lot more foreigner show China county side which is so beautiful. Japan need to promo more of their country side tourism like China.
Thank you for showing us around Tokyo and Sado Island. The 風鈴 wind chimes are so beautiful and I really like their clear and soothing sounds in the wind. 🎐The view on Shibuya's observation deck is also stunning! Sado Island is really peaceful 🌾and the tub boat experience looks quite fun! Thank you for the rich and wonderful content, as always!! 🧡🧡🧡 I also appreciate the editing work you've done. I really like how you paired up soft music with natural scenery and traditional architecture. It's very soothing and always comfortable to watch. 🌳🌿🌾🐱✨😊 (And thank you for waking up so early for many days in a row to film these content 😆)
That observation deck is amazing! I'm a little too scared of heights to brave that sort of thing; I admire your adventurous spirit lol. Sado is so beautiful. I love rural Japanese towns, it feels like travelling back in time because of how well-maintained everything is. (also, I love your yukata! I love bunnies, especially that leaping/jumping design that a lot of Japanese seem to like. It's very pretty and suits you well~)
Watching this makes me want to travel so badly. I had a bit of a laugh at the end. One of my cats name is Soba and he was on the sofa with me. He was confused when he kept hearing is name from the TV. 😆
What a fun trip! Sado island looks so relaxing, my favorite part was definitely the ryoukan! Everything is so green and vibrant.. and the food looked amazing!
This was a fun trip, and you look good today Sharla. I would have never thought of visiting Sado Island but through you I saw a very cool part of Japan.
New Sharla day is the best day! You always make me feel calm, and give my often hectic mind a moment of rest. Thanks for everything you do, always making us such fantastic content! ❤️❤️❤️
We almost didn't go to the observation deck in 2019 because of the price, but I'm glad we did. We ended up watching the entire sunset from there, just chilling and enjoying the view. The deck looks much better now, that's grea.
I love Niigata! We have friends that live in Niigata City, so we always visit when we're in Japan. There is a pretty interesting festival in Tsubame Sanjo every autumn that showcases their traditional industries like metalworking, knifemaking, and other regional arts and crafts. We'd have never gone if we didn't have friends in the area that knew about it! Haven't been to Sado Island, though, so need to put that on the list for next trip.
The humidity on the lense cracked me up 🤣 Your yukata is so beautiful and cute 😍 I hope you didn't sweat in it too much. Did you feel like you was in Spirited Away in the tug boat? 😆 I loved that part and the captain of the "boat" was just the sweetest ❤️ 🥰
Thanks for the video of your trip to Sado Island! I lived in Niigata-Ken 20 years ago and went to Sado Island many times. I am amazed how Sado Island pretty much looks the same. I was also amazed to see how much Shibuya has changed. Your videos inspire me to get back to travel Japan!
I enjoyed your beautiful video It was fun exploring these lovely streets and markets of Tokyo👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you so much for sharing Dear friend 🍃👏🏻👏🏻 Looking forward to seeing more
I literally tear up every time I see these travel blogs 😭🥹Japan is so gorgeous. The nature just soothes my soul. I can’t imagine how much better it is being there in person. I hope one day . ❤
This was a great video. Definitely going on my bucket list! Also how clear was that water?! Beautiful! I live futons too, I have only slept on one once when I stayed in a beautiful house in Osaka but I had such a nice sleep that night 😅
I can't wait to go back to Japan! The last time I visited was back in 2018 . That feels so long incredibly long ago now 😭 I'm curious would you ever do a Tokyo Disney video again?
Thanks Sharla, lovely places. I had a good laugh how you greeted the fish like they were old friends. The cat who was ignoring you looks like my long-dead cat, which made me happy and sad at the same time.
You went to a lot of pretty places! The garden is beautiful and it seems like it'd be nice to take a walk there in person (the first thing that came to mind upon seeing the fuurin is Chimecho the pokemon). The view from the observation deck is awesome (but also kinda scary cause it's so high!). Sado Island itself looks great - it seems fun to ride on the tub boats, the food looks really delicious, and the town looks nice and peaceful. I'm happy it's not one of those abandoned towns. Thank you for sharing your trip with us!
Thank you for this video Sharla! I'll be in Tokyo in a couple weeks, and I'm staying in Shibuya so I'll definitely check that observation deck out! I had no idea about it, thanks!
Your vlogs is so calming 🥰 thanks for letting us join the adventure! Can’t wait to be back in Japan! Learning Japanese at evening courses at the local university atm 💕
Thanks so much for this Sharla! This really made me miss Japan so much, and this was just an overall calming video in all the chaos that life brings daily. Thanks for a great escape during my lunch break!
I’m so happy took a chance booked a ticket end of last year for December hoping country would open up. I usually travel solo so it’s super safe to travel Japan. Been there 8 times but it’s always on my travel plans
You are a great person. Chinzanso is the most beautiful hotel in Tokyo. And to go to Sado and get on TARAI boat. Sado is also famous for producing good rice. To eat that too with Japanese local dish.
Wow, what a contrast! Both the city and island village, and the countryside between, show off what I would love to see with my own eyes 🥰 thank you Sharla for these amazing vids!
Thank you, Sharla. I really enjoyed the contrasts of this trip. The Hotels Gardens were tranquil and refreshing, the view from the Shibuya observation deck was just amazing and Sato island looks like a must-visit. I have put it on my next trip to Japan, must-do list. I always enjoy the very personal, informal feeling your videos give me without sensationalism, Cheers, Muffy from Oz(Australia)

Too cute! ✨

I'd love to see more videos like this in the fall. I've heard Autumn in Japan is just as if not more picturesque than the spring
I liked sleeping on a futon so much when i was traveling japan, that i bought one and a tatami for my home. My sleep improved greatly.
so cute to see the captain from the ferry waving
Here's hoping Chris has a better experience cat-sitting this time.Last time, he was lost.But the cats were okay.

Right??

I have just booked flights to Japan for April🎉. Also booked the fabulous Hotel Chinzanso thanks to your youtube video.
That food looked amazing, so happy to see they can cater to us vegetarians and vegans!
I stayed in that hotel in Tokyo and it’s so fancy, I had a whole living room and separate bed room was insane
Sharla , great video! I have always had a love for Japan and it's culture. I was born in São Paulo Brazil. And the city has the largest concentration of individuals of Japanese descent outside of Japan. Looking forward to visiting Japan soon!

Captain waving down at you guys was such an anime moment,it made me smile so much! ☺ 🌈
Watching this makes me want to travel so badly. I had a bit of a laugh at the end. One of my cats name is Soba and he was on the sofa with me. He was confused when he kept hearing is name from the TV. 😆
Oh wow, it’s like the boat in spirited away! I didn’t know that’s what they’re called. Good call on the skyline rooftop. So cool!
I love watching you explore areas of beauty, they look very relaxing and meditative. I hope you come back with Chris and enjoy the island together.
6:13 wow, that view is far more impressive then I was expecting. Seems surreal even on TH-cam, I can imagine it's even more surreal in person.
What a fun trip! Sado island looks so relaxing, my favorite part was definitely the ryoukan! Everything is so green and vibrant.. and the food looked amazing!
Okay in all seriousness this time (no go girls), loved the video, thank you for sharing!
I love your yukata pattern, so cute! It's interesting to see the differences between a city trip and a more rural trip, they both look really fun!
I 'm in love with the Shukunegi Village! It's so cute and adorable. The wooden houses are awesome!

Thank you for the video. Whenever I watch your vlogs they remind my how lucky I am living here in Japan. Love this country.
So happy to see part of Niigata in Sharla’s channel. Come back in Winter for Skiing!
I love Niigata! We have friends that live in Niigata City, so we always visit when we're in Japan. There is a pretty interesting festival in Tsubame Sanjo every autumn that showcases their traditional industries like metalworking, knifemaking, and other regional arts and crafts. We'd have never gone if we didn't have friends in the area that knew about it! Haven't been to Sado Island, though, so need to put that on the list for next trip.
The humidity on the lense cracked me up 🤣
Your yukata is so beautiful and cute 😍 I hope you didn't sweat in it too much.
Did you feel like you was in Spirited Away in the tug boat? 😆 I loved that part and the captain of the "boat" was just the sweetest ❤️ 🥰
Thanks for the video of your trip to Sado Island! I lived in Niigata-Ken 20 years ago and went to Sado Island many times. I am amazed how Sado Island pretty much looks the same. I was also amazed to see how much Shibuya has changed. Your videos inspire me to get back to travel Japan!

I literally tear up every time I see these travel blogs 😭🥹Japan is so gorgeous. The nature just soothes my soul. I can’t imagine how much better it is being there in person. I hope one day . ❤
Say hi to Danzaburou and Kodo for me!
This was a great video. Definitely going on my bucket list! Also how clear was that water?! Beautiful! I live futons too, I have only slept on one once when I stayed in a beautiful house in Osaka but I had such a nice sleep that night 😅
I can't wait to go back to Japan! The last time I visited was back in 2018 . That feels so long incredibly long ago now 😭 I'm curious would you ever do a Tokyo Disney video again?
Would've loved to know your thoughts on that melon slushie and those churros
The material of kimonos change for the seasons. So in the summer is usually cotton or linen and only have one layer so quite similar to yukatas.
So gorgeous! I loved the contrast. Both looked AMAZING.
Thanks Sharla, lovely places. I had a good laugh how you greeted the fish like they were old friends. The cat who was ignoring you looks like my long-dead cat, which made me happy and sad at the same time.
Best travel plan to travel modern urban side and traditional rural side of Japan with Shinkansen and ship trip.
You went to a lot of pretty places! The garden is beautiful and it seems like it'd be nice to take a walk there in person (the first thing that came to mind upon seeing the fuurin is Chimecho the pokemon). The view from the observation deck is awesome (but also kinda scary cause it's so high!).

Thank you for sharing your trip with us!
The footage from Shibuya Sky really set off my acrophobia. When you looked over the glass partition, that really broke me. Great watch.
Thank you for this video Sharla! I'll be in Tokyo in a couple weeks, and I'm staying in Shibuya so I'll definitely check that observation deck out! I had no idea about it, thanks!
Your vlogs is so calming 🥰 thanks for letting us join the adventure!
Can’t wait to be back in Japan! Learning Japanese at evening courses at the local university atm 💕
Shibuya Sky is on my To Do list when I visit in Nov. Want lots of pics from up there.
Thanks so much for this Sharla! This really made me miss Japan so much, and this was just an overall calming video in all the chaos that life brings daily. Thanks for a great escape during my lunch break!
so nice to see this island that I have never heard of I might consider visiting if I ever go to japan
I’m so happy took a chance booked a ticket end of last year for December hoping country would open up. I usually travel solo so it’s super safe to travel Japan. Been there 8 times but it’s always on my travel plans
A dream to be able to see the rice fields in person and the town looks so cute!
You are a great person. Chinzanso is the most beautiful hotel in Tokyo.
And to go to Sado and get on TARAI boat. Sado is also famous for producing good rice. To eat that too with Japanese local dish.
The hotel room view is just awesome 🎉
This was such a nice relaxing vlog
Awww!! Love the wind bells! I have a couple on my door to my back deck, but they definitely don't compare to all of those bells chiming together. Wow!
The view and scenery are so pretty! Thanks for taking us along!
I really want to visit japan one day. I love all your travel content.
Now that the borders will open soon I want to go to Japan even more! These videos make me so excited to go (whenever that will be...)
Awesome view - great timing. I got similarly lucky in Toronto's CN Tower.
The field in the island reminds me of Totoro movie, love it 🥰
The wind chimes were so beautiful! What a gorgeous garden!! Thanks for sharing, your videos are so relaxing and informative!!
So glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching🥰🥰
The island is so cool and beautiful
Wow, what a contrast! Both the city and island village, and the countryside between, show off what I would love to see with my own eyes 🥰 thank you Sharla for these amazing vids!
I like the thumbnail you changed it to. Was considering skipping a video when I saw the original thumbnail but the new thumbnail pulled me in.
All of the food looked so delicious. And the clarity of the water was breathtaking.
That rooftop lookout was making me feel vertigo just seeing you standing on the edge. I don't even like standing near windows in skyscrapers.
i love your solo travel videos so much! It gives me courage to go out on my own.
Only the best TH-camrs pause the adventure to film a stray cat 🤣❤️
I love your yukata, it's so cute! I'd love to try one of the tub boats in Sado someday
Thank you, Sharla. I really enjoyed the contrasts of this trip. The Hotels Gardens were tranquil and refreshing, the view from the Shibuya observation deck was just amazing and Sato island looks like a must-visit. I have put it on my next trip to Japan, must-do list. I always enjoy the very personal, informal feeling your videos give me without sensationalism, Cheers, Muffy from Oz(Australia)
