So wait, you took Kanae & Leo in 2022 and forgot me? Honestly, this is a huge oversight! I haven't been there since 2020 when I live streamed walking through the town.
Oh right, I remember that episode in 2020 with Kanae! th-cam.com/video/SGWOhiaEKa0/w-d-xo.html Yeah, sorry about that, snuck away this year - no live streaming at Ginzan. Hey, I like your 8K releases. Perhaps you have some footage you can show walking the town at night or something?
I'm very sure we saw you (past John?) in the video that future (present?) John edited. I bet between the two (one?) of you there was more than enough material to edit.
Well they did take a lot of inspiration from existing locations for their movies, the bathhouse from Spirited Away was based off the Dogo Onsen in Matsuyama
John, you are by far one of my favorite YoutTubers, you look so happy reporting on things in Japan that many of us may never get the chance to experience ourselves, but it's great to see through your lens. Please keep up the great work, your content is by far some of the most entertaining as well as educational!
"My legs like oden. Coming out of the hot soup". You really did look a little well done there. 😂😂🤣 It really doesn't get more picturesque than seeing this onsen village at night. Truly a beautiful and magical place. Great to see the whole family really enjoying the experience!😊
Always a treat to see lovely Kanae and sweet Leo. I thought this place looked magical but then you showed it at night that just made it even more so. I love that it hasn't changed the old world look. That makes it so much more interesting. Would love to go there someday. Thanks for the tour of this wonderful place.😊
I've been wondering for a long time why it isn't you anymore in the old TH-cam channel. FINALLY I've found YOUR channel and I am so happy. Watching the "old TH-cam channel" host vs You is totally different. Your vibe, the emotions you put in and the content is pure LOVE. Your love to the amazing country- JAPAN. Keep it up John! Fan from Philippines! ♥
I'm just amazed at how much beauty and all the history there is in this country. It just seems such a magical place. I think that Japan is a blessed place as any there is I'm so grateful to you and all who share all this with the rest of the world thank you so much .
I really needed to watch this documentary this morning. I wasn't feeling great but this was like being there and helped lift my spirits and get motivated for the day. Thank you!
I really like the live streams as well as the edited videos and narrating you do John; it's informative, interesting, direct and sincere. You've got the essence of cinematography in your presentations/delivery, that I believe has been diminishing in the United States. Japan is lucky to have your skills and creativity! Thanks for sharing. 🍱🍣🥢🍻
Well done John! Thoroughly enjoyable and informative! So lovely to see Kanae and your beautiful son as well! Keep up all the great work and content! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☺️
A dazzling winter wonderland captured perfectly by you, John!!! 🤩 It's not just a walking around the town video but one with depth - the appreciation of Ginzan Onsen History & Japan's Ryokan Culture! I loved my visit in Summer but the onsen town truly looks magical with snow. Defintely need another trip there. Enjoyed eating tofu by the river, curry bread at the end of the town & soba ice cream 🤤 And the highlight for me was a smiley Little Leo having his first covered toes Ashiyu 🤣
Informational and interesting video 🙂!! Pretty village at day and the night !! Surely refreshing ”wake up” for the morning , to have a hot onsen bath 🤔!! Enjoyable video , thank you for sharing 👍!!!
I was getting fed up of the usual walk around Tokyo TH-cam videos but stumbled across your videos. I like this style way better with the commentary explaining things a lot more clearly and the maker not just hiding behind his camera. 👍👍👍👍👍 5/5 thumbs up.
Beautiful winter footage was captured here. The charm of these little Ryokan's under the warm Taishō era street light is unmatched. This was one of your best, John-san!
Thank you again for bringing this beautiful place to us. Looks like a great place to relax I was great seeing Kanae and Leo. Please take care and be safe. Aloha
I was enthralled by this video. How wonderful and healthy everything is, the baths and the food. Your wife and yourself are glowing and your little boy is just adorable. I loved everything about the onsen's. Maybe I'll get there one day. I love Japanese architecture and lovely old houses, so picturesque.
What a beautiful place. I would love soak in the hot springs after long day. Even foot bath will after walking around. It was nice to see Kanae and Leo with you.
50 degrees? Thats half way to the boiling point! You did right getting out quickly. A few second more, and a brother or sister for Leo would be out of the question! 😉 Thanks Mr Daub. Brilliant as always!
For folks in Asia of a certain age, they know of Ginzan Onsen from "Oshin", my mom was wondering what town this was until you mentioned the show. Those baths looked dangerous, getting poached in a 50 deg C bath would probably be for the unwary. Nice supporting camera work from Kanae and nice to see Leo not hating tofu.
So beautiful with the snow! It must have been so cold. I didn't know ryokon charged per person for a room. Good to remember if I'm ever able to go to Japan. The town at night reminds me of Spirited Away.
It's fantastic seeing you produce so much content as of late and all of it with the fantastic pacing, interesting topics and a smile on your face. Missed this.
There is something inviting yet other-worldly about such a place. To find myself with a book on a balcony after a soak and a meal... I'd be okay if that was the last vacation I ever took. Great vid, John.
Came to see this one again after your newest video with the snow monkeys. This episode always makes me happy. The village is so lovely and you and your family are so fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this adventure with us.
I have only been watching your channel a short while, just want to say, though your filming and factual information, I have grown to love the country of Japan. I am hooked, and so looking forward to learnng more from your channel! Thankyou John 🙂
Great video John. Having been to a few hotels with hot water baths in Japan (not onsens, sadly), I think there's a trick in how to get into a very hot water bath/onsen that is over 40 degrees C: First take a small bucket, or just the palm of your hands, and sprinkle some hot water over your body, this creates an insulating layer of lukewarm water over your body, this layer would allow you to dip in more smoothly without feeling like you're being scalded, as the layer acts as a sort of transition. Instead of just jumping in dry in your cold body. Second, and I'm not sure how scientific this is, but I read somewhere that as heat escapes more easily from the palms of your hand than from any part of the body, so if you place your palms just above the water while dipping, you wouldn't feel too hot while inside.
Great Video, I love the info about how Ryokan charge, I wouldnt want a western style room like the single ones you showed. I would want the genuine experience. Lovely to see Kanae and Rio
Another EXELLENT, PROFESSIONAL and INFORMATIVE video John! A beautiful place! Some where I would definitely visit. Great to see you with the family. 👍❤
Thanks 🤗 John to show> this place +with à map 🌏+with Kanae🤗+ with Leo🤗 +on à snowy day❄! 🤗👍!Lovely 🤗👍! Next time on Japan>I’m goiing to visit >there 💕! Thanks for your video👍🤗 Anne. Paris. Saturday 12th March 22
I love Oshin. I've binge watched the series a couple of times 😅 It's sort of historical fiction and drama, which I love. Now I am binge watching your videos 😊 Thank you and keep it up.

The opening scene is just beautiful, it does look like a Ghibli movie!!
Well they did take a lot of inspiration from existing locations for their movies, the bathhouse from Spirited Away was based off the Dogo Onsen in Matsuyama
I had the same thought, Spirited away. :D I hope one day I can visit this place. ;)
I agree what a beautiful intro
It looks like the setting for episode 14 of miss kobyashi dragon maid
How beautiful! When I picture Japan in the wintertime, this location is exactly what I imagine. And it was lovely seeing the family as well.

I love the style of the architecture and the old style lights. It's like you're transported to the past. It really looks magical at night in the snow!
The night scenes were magical. Such a beautiful town.
It looks like a beautiful town that I'd really like to explore in the daytime and relax in the evening. Great artistic presentation, too!
Your son is impossibly cute! Congrats for the beautiful family you guys built!
Now that's a winter wonderland...very beautiful.
Beautifully done! You captured this magical area perfectly. Would love to visit this town and thank you for sharing it's charm with us! 😍💞
Wow!! Its so romantic and beautiful!! It truly is a winter wonderland!!!!🌨🥰😍😘❤👏🙌👍🇯🇵

I loved seeing those transitions of what it looked like over the decades, I LOVE the changes they made after the 1980s
All the snow.. looks so romantic. Glad to see all the family are well and enjoying a nice trip
Well done John! Thoroughly enjoyable and informative! So lovely to see Kanae and your beautiful son as well! Keep up all the great work and content! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☺️
seeing you again and your lovely family giving us an extra warmth and welcoming to this charming place. Super thank you.
3:09 John you're always so hilarious, love how you stay a big kid always 💕🙆♀️. Thanks for showing us the Onsens of Japan!
Wow. The onsen town is so picturesque! Such beauty and it looks magical in Winter.

Nice to see Leo having his first official Only in Japan episode on Onsen. Nice to see you and kanae enjoying some quality time too.
3 episodes in 11 days! Keep up the good work!
Definitely need to visit Tohoku one day!
Yeah!! Hopefully he will keep them coming regularly 😃

What a beautiful place. I would love soak in the hot springs after long day. Even foot bath will after walking around. It was nice to see Kanae and Leo with you.
You sure are spoiling us viewers with back to back videos! Love to see it
The way you share the uniqueness of Japan is always interesting and enjoyable, and this video is no exception. Love it.
What an awesome video, loved seeing you happy with your family my friend, Leo has such a happy smile, a gift from Kanae and you.
50 degrees? Thats half way to the boiling point! You did right getting out quickly. A few second more, and a brother or sister for Leo would be out of the question! 😉
Thanks Mr Daub. Brilliant as always!
Haha!! It sure doesn’t help but 30 seconds - probably safe 🤪

Hot spring town sounds great, but add Japan and it's one amazing experience! Thank you for showing us around, what a great video! ☺👍
Beautiful. I have always enjoyed learning about Japanese history and culture. Someday I'll take a trip. Thanks for the channel!
Oooh, I love the foot bath…….so great in winter time…
What a magical place!
Aww... your son is so adorable! 🥰
That place is just... WOW! 😲
This was an absolutely beautiful and informative video. Thank you for sharing your little family adventure with us. 😊
Much love from Germany!
Gorgeous work as always, thank you for showing us more and more of the beautiful country that is Japan.
It's fantastic seeing you produce so much content as of late and all of it with the fantastic pacing, interesting topics and a smile on your face. Missed this.
A magical bucket-list location. Thanks for the beautiful images, it looks sublime in 4K. It was also wonderful to see Kanae and Leo!
That place looks amazing! It would be such an awesome experience to visit there and detach from the world. Beautiful video John! 👍🏾
Gorgeous! Thank you for this charming and relaxing video. So nice to see Kanae and precious Leo.
This felt like a true classic Only in Japan video. Very nice to watch! Cheers!
Very beautiful!! I love everything! Thank you so much for sharing ❤ 💕!!!
I didn’t know you had a son, so I want to say congratulations, John and Kanae!
And now I want to own a place in that little town!
He’ll be 1 in a couple weeks :)
@@onlyinjapan Early “Happy Birthday” to your son.
There is something inviting yet other-worldly about such a place. To find myself with a book on a balcony after a soak and a meal... I'd be okay if that was the last vacation I ever took.
Great vid, John.
Japan govt. must give you some kind of badge of honor! You single-handedly promoting japan tourism.
Really like the high quality video. Thanks John!
Another wonderful video, John! And what an honor to be able to see your lovely family too!
Whenever I can bring them along, I’ll try to do it because to share these adventure with you and them is important to me. Thank you for writing :)
Love that place! Magical! Thanks so much for showing it to us.
The cinematography and shots you made are simply beautiful!
Cute baby, and cute noise when he smile. Very beautiful scene.
Such beautiful scenery.. And OMG! Little John is sooo cute! what a happy kid.
I loved how you presented the really hot bath! 😊
Yamagata is my hometown. Thank you for introducing me. I hope everyone will visit. All season food is delicious😉
I can never get over how beautiful John's videos are.
thank you only in Japan for the great experience I thought I was with you 😀👍🇮🇳🇯🇵👏👏👏
Nothing more rejuvenating than outdoor onsen during winter and drinking cold sake afterwards
Came to see this one again after your newest video with the snow monkeys. This episode always makes me happy. The village is so lovely and you and your family are so fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this adventure with us.
I’ll miss winter - next is all spring and summer content! This onsen is spectacular and I know I’ll be back again.
I missed these style of videos. feels good to have them back.

Th..th..this is a miracle?! My eyes are seeing a mini documental!!!!!! Yess I love this type of video I missed it so much.
It’s nice to get content rolling again :)
I remembered driving and staying here in the 1980s. Japan is an absolutely beautiful country.
Such a heartwarming video, it's so nice to see you with your family! Thanks for the video, John.
Amazing chapters. Thank you for your incredible work.
Great video!! I think you captured the onsen experience very well. Onsen eggs are amazing!
Great Video, I love the info about how Ryokan charge, I wouldnt want a western style room like the single ones you showed. I would want the genuine experience. Lovely to see Kanae and Rio
What a lovely trip back in time !! Happy to see Kanae and Leo on this adventure with you John.

Dang John you have been putting out a lot of videos lately! I am loving it! Keep up the hard work we all appreciate it!
