It's a wonderful video that has an eye for "going to Taiwan and looking for Japanese heritage". Kurashiki and Okayama were picked up in Japan, and I was impressed by the different points of view. Actually, I was born near Kaohsiung, Taiwan when Japan ruled Taiwan, and moved to Japan when I was four years old. Sixty years ago, I went to Taiwan to visit my hometown. At that time, I didn't know that there were hot springs in Taiwan. Thank you for the wonderful video. It reminded me of Taiwan.
I'm so glad it reminded you of Taiwan! We also visited Kaohsiung and had an amazing time there (videos coming later!). I hope we'll be able to reintroduce you to your birth town when they come out. 😊😊 Thank you for sharing your story with us!
@@bctvanw actually it is a bit more complicated ... Wikipedia+ChatGPT as follows : "Takao" or "Takau" is an old place name for Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The earliest Chinese record of this place name dates back to 1603 (the 31st year of the Wanli era during the Ming Dynasty). During the early years of Japanese rule in Taiwan, the official name of Takao was also used. In the 1897 "Taiwan One in Two Hundred Thousand Map", the name "Kaohsiung" appears. In 1920 (Taishō 9 year), the Taiwan Governor's Office announced a revised local official system, dividing Taiwan into five states (Taipei, Hsinchu, Taichung, Tainan, Kaohsiung and other states), and two offices (Hualien Harbor Office, Taitung Office). Kaohsiung State included Kaohsiung County and Kaohsiung Street. At the same time, a command was issued to correct so-called "indecent" place names, officially replacing the original rustic place name "Takao" with "Kaohsiung". The Japanese pronunciation of "Kaohsiung" is "Taka-o", which is very similar to the pronunciation of "Takau". Moreover, there is a place name "Kaohsiung" in Japan, so the name "Takao", which had been used for more than three hundred years, then entered history, and the name "Kaohsiung" officially debuted on the historical stage.
@@JenghanHsieh When talking about this part of history, you can’t use Kaohsiung when referring to Japanese Kenji 高雄. This can confuse people. You better write down Chinese characters or Kenji characters when explaining. Kaohsiung is just Mandarin pronunciation of 高雄. This did not exist until after 1945. Takao or Takau were used by Europeans to name the place. 打狗 was used by early Chinese immigrants to name the place. 打狗 was pronounced as Takao/Takau. Japan renamed 打狗 as 高雄 without changing the sounding of the name. Taka-o. Btw in some old French maps of Kaohsiung. Takao was the name used even before Japan ruled Taiwan. 高雄 is now pronounced in Mandarin as Kaohsiung . It breaks the rule of naming the place for several hundred of years. KMT ruled Taiwan in 1945. They did not care about Taiwan’s culture.
Thanks for supporting Taiwan tourism and giving our family some ideas on what to do around Taipei this summer. I just have to not tell them it’s a library, given they didn’t even get out of car to see Seattle’s new modern library. Have a great 2023 and stay safe and healthy too.
I personally like the japanese set meal, you could find many good ones in Taiwan. But in another hand, the Taiwanese cuisine is amazing, take to occasion to enjoy them in Taiwan! :D
Amazing high-quality video and editings. I am Taiwanese and live for college at Damsui for 4 years, been to Beitou a couple of times. I never though that Beitou can be such a beautiful place in camera.🥰
Wow! Great to see that you visited my hometown! I grew up in Beitou, not far away from the Thermal Valley. When I was very little my parents used to take us there and one of the pastimes was to cook hard-boiled eggs in the hot spring; back when it was still allowed before they made it into a park with fences around the hot springs. I grew to love the sulfur smell so it doesn't smell like rotten eggs to me as it does to other people! It always reminds me of home and brings back fond memories. I went back home in March this year and also went by that park too and was amazed at how much it has changed since I left home (almost 30 years ago). I also stopped by that green library a few times. It is such a cool place; it was built after left home. When I was in school I used to go to the old one in the same location to study. Then years later they tore down the old building and built this famous one. Also, thanks for showing us the inside of the Beitou Museum. I walked by it this March but didn't go inside and was wondering what it was like. Oh and that train station! I literally had taken train rides from that old train station to Taipei back in the day. (Now I sound very old lol...) You hit all the places that I would go visit again, every time I go home to visit my family in Beiout! Great job filming and explaining the history of each site. Keep it up!
Thanks for showing us the footage! Last time my partner and I were there was more than ten years ago. We stayed in a little hotel with hot springs on site. Yes! Rotten eggs smell 😁. Now that the swim cap …
Another gem. Slowly making my way through your Taiwan vlogs--after which I'll jump into some of your other travels. I don't make it to Taipei very often, but looks like maybe I should...
Unfortunately, we just learned the Okonomiyaki restaurant closed. 😞 This is its name: 赤鐵 廣島燒專賣店 - 赤峰店. The Takoyaki place is still open and here is its name: A-tsu A-tsu Takoyaki. Thanks!
Beitou was not only the residence of senior Japanese officials at that time, but also the residence of American military officers after World War II. The ceilings of these Japanese-style buildings are higher than those in Japan. It is said that the Taiwanese construction workers employed at that time built them with Taiwanese measurements or traditions.. That's how I was told.
@@TalesFromOurPocket 鐵板燒 is the name. You can just googlemap it with the text. It can be from as cheap as $5 for a set/meal to over $100 per person but it’s guaranteed to be at least 10x better than the American ones. Most night markets have them or you can find some good teppanyaki restaurants just everywhere.
1:241:563:427:25 ah.. not sure if you still remember the bird call at the background here, but it is Taiwan barbet, and bc it sounds like the sound of a monk's wooden fish, some ppl call it colorful monk ;3 7:27 tbh, I was surprised too especially after knowing the Japanese treated Taiwan in a totally different way from treating Korea during the colonization. The way the Japanese managed Taiwan just like manage their own homeland(not including the Taiwanese ppl lol). There were many great constructures that helped Taiwan develop a lot. And that's why both under Japanese rule, Taiwanese and Korean have completely different points of view of Japan.
It's so interesting how one country has a much more favorable relationship with Japan than the other country. We really enjoyed seeing all these reminders of Japan as we traveled!
Yes, we just discovered that a day or two ago ourselves. We're really surprised because they were quite busy! We had to wait an hour for a spot at a table. Such a bummer!!
Thank you for your video. We are heading to Taiwan in one month and visiting Beitou. We are staying in the Grand view resort, do you know if clothing are optional? We are a family with kids and hope people will be wearing swimwear? Do you know if it’s nudity required? Thanks!

日本の遺産がある事の紹介の嬉しさより、それを良き遺産として大切に残してくれる台湾人の心に日本人として感動します。何度か台湾を訪れていますが台湾と日本はの歴史を簡単には語れません。いつも政治に翻弄され正しい事が伝わらない時もありましたが、いつも両国の人々は互いに手を結び助け合いをします。相互に相手を非難するより助け合う気持ちがある世界的にみても不思議な素晴らしい関係です。台湾は本当に素敵な国です(^^♪
台湾は素晴らしい国だと思います！😁😁
台湾総督になった児玉源太郎ゆかりの市に住む私にとって、とても興味深い内容です🤩 日本建築を綺麗に保存してる台湾も素晴らしい！
ブラシノキ（Callistemonspeciosus）が植えられてる街並みも素敵です。
お二人ともお箸の使い方がとても綺麗ですね😉
私たちは、箸の腕前を上げるために努力してきました。🥢😂😂

祝福 平安健康 旅遊愉快 希望能介紹給全世界.
Thank you! 😊😊
妳們兩位沒有時間參觀的：溫泉博物館，她是北投溫泉區的精華地方，地下有2023年11月17日剛修復的日據時期的溫泉泳池，一樓大廳也有大型的榻榻米休息區（日本天皇來過很好拍照的地方），建議下次來台北可以再去，ps:臭豆腐好吃的地點在花蓮的玉里鎮“橋頭臭豆腐”,也可以去台灣最美的：花蓮“太魯閣”一直到天祥或進入大禹嶺和南頭清境農場住，還是建議你們慢活的臺灣，歡迎你們！
Do they take US credit card at the spring city resort?
Green sulfur springs can also be found in New Zealand. Lots of them 😊
Really?!? We haven't been to New Zealand yet, but we know we'll love our time there.
