Your last few video's show that there are so many "hidden" spots that are absolutely beautiful. Just renting a car and driving around would be enough to create an amazing vacation + it really gives you the chance to explore. Great video, I really liked the color of the lake in combination with the autumn leaves! Have fun exploring Ryan!
I'm so damn exhausted from work. Laying on my bed while watching great footage especially the drone footage for Yanaizu and Ouchijuku. I'm healed!!! Anyway, thanks for another hard work dude!
Thank you so much Paul! I was thinking even with ads I want to show them in a way that doesn’t take away from the video, so I’m really glad to hear that 😌
Spectacular video Ryan! You are a master in capturing the true essence of where ever you are. I am a huge fan. You've made me love Japan even more. Now a trip has to be planned :O)
If finding an onsen, or at least a place to wash up, have you considered using an Anytime Fitness Gym which apparently has the most facilities in Japan (and is nearly everywhere in the country). Besides a shower, you can enjoy a decent workout. I also use Gold's Gym at least one day a week because it has a lot more 'toys', and is more similar to a traditional California gym. Unfortunately, they are far less numerous, and requires a 15-minute train ride to the closest location, whereas I live between two Anytime Fitness locations that are 400 and 550 meters away. I also wanted to express my profound thanks for the utmost respect that you show and express for the Japanese people, places, and culture. I have loved Japan since I accompanied my grandfather on a business trip when I was 5 years of age, and moved here 2 years ago to indulge in my deep exploration of everything about this country.
@@mattsoca1 Thanks so much Matt, for both the detailed feedback and appreciation for my work 🙏🏼. Once I’m in a better financial situation, I actually do intend to get an Anytime membership. Just struggling trying to make ends meet right now, but hopefully soon I’ll be able to indulge!
Another video yay! I have no editing skills 😂 but I can really appreciate all your shots, beautiful framing, and how you pace out the sections of history/information, music, asmr etc. Makes for lovely, easeful watching. Can't wait for more 🤓
You are doing a great job! We purchased a camper van this year and have been learning the ropes as well. Like you I find it easier to find a place to sleep in the countryside. We live in Yamaguchi
Actually the local speciality is only sold at few of the soba stores there. So it’s hard to say it’s a local speciality. Soba is the speciality and the Negi Soba is marketing.
@@abcdef-y7h Not much for the time being because it’s hard to do van life in the cities. It’s almost always paid parking and you have to stealth camp unless I stay in hotels which I don’t have money for. In the future when I’m more financially stable I will for sure though.
@ it would be interesting driving around the main cities as day trips and end the nights on the countrysides. And I totally understand your point on the financial side and hope you will do well in youtube. Hope you enjoy the time at Japan!
Ryan! You are on the literal road to success,
just keep going, your work is outstanding!
Thank you so much for your support! Will keep going 😤

Thank you very much Colin! Totally, renting a car even for a few days could give you the opportunity to see so much that most people would never see!

Splendid work man! Can't wait for more videos 👊
@@Ra-eed thanks so much 😌
Beautiful! You’ve inspired me to travel away from the overcrowded Japan cities 😊
That’s what I like to hear!! (I do love the cities too though)
@ I do too! But it’s nice to venture out as well 😊 A good balance!
Ryan, even your sponsored ads are beautifully shot and so very enjoyable. Your videos are treasured. Many thanks.
Thank you so much Paul! I was thinking even with ads I want to show them in a way that doesn’t take away from the video, so I’m really glad to hear that 😌
Thank you for showing us these awesome hidden gems Ryan! Your videos are just such a great watch, they just feel so peaceful and comfortable.
Thanks man, really glad to hear that 😌

@@iantovey7132 Truly appreciate the kind words 🥺 Always trying to improve, but I am happy to hear you appreciate the videos at my current skill level.
I love seeing you in places I've been to. There's something comforting in it looking exactly the same even though it's been years.
I get what you mean, kinda brings back those memories right?
Just discovered your channel. Wow! Stunning videography and great information.
@@barbarashirland9078 thank you so much, appreciate you being here!

@@ryan_bednar It sounds like you are on your way. Living one's life without regrets, is always for the better good. Best wishes and take care.
@ I hope so, thanks again 🙏
It stole my heart, too! 😮
isn't it special.. can't wait to be back!
Awesome work on the content Ryan! Some very inspiring stuff on here, I love travelling japan and I know for sure that I'll be using a van next visit.
@@texturner5940 thanks so much! I hope you do, it opens up a world of opportunities 🙂↕️
@@ryan_bednar I bet, I love the smaller less seen country towns of Japan. There's something fun about the Ski towns even in the off season! :)
Loved the drone shot at the beginning of Ouchijuku. Another great video. So glad I found this gem of a youtube channel!
Really appreciate that 😌
Wow. Just wow
@@dboi472 🙇🏻🙏🏼
Man, it feels like this year's autumn was sponsored by your videos! You've captured and described the season perfectly with your work. Amazing job!
Hahaha it feels like I experienced fall forever with how I chased the colours south. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great job bud. I too loved that Enzoji temple area.
@@AmericanAdventuresInJapan thanks Ryan! Definitely an awesome place
Another video yay!

Can't wait for more 🤓
@@sswift_heart Really happy to hear you enjoy all the elements, makes all the work worth it 😁
beautiful autumn, love every shots,
Thank you!!
The aerial shots of that town with the akabeko were really beautiful. Looked really quaint.
Glad you liked those! I wish I could’ve flown my drone more that day but it started raining 😭
Negi soba🤤 So glad that you enjoyed Tohoku more than anyone else!
Hehe you’ll have to thank your mom for me 😁 yessir Tohoku is truly a special place
Beautiful video, Ryan! I should have hiked around Goshikinuma too. We got on the lake tour boat there.
@@akikodemond6324 thanks Akiko! There’s always next visit 😁
So nice, good job!
Please make it longer and do upload more frequent please 😂
@@eaclips4547 haha I’ll aim for once per week for the rest of December, but I can’t make them too long otherwise I’ll be editing forever 😅

@@cocolenchojapan thanks a lot! Ya way easier in the countryside hey? I may be coming through Yamaguchi in March, we could maybe meet up in our vans!
@ for sure! I sent you a message on instagram! Safe travels and stay warm
Love it my man. I only wish I can get off the beaten path like you my next visit to see family. Keep it up!
@@williambailey9950 thank you 🙏🏼 ya I really hope you do!
Hey man I had no idea you wore earings 🙂. The three bridges looked wonderful. I wonder how tasty is the water there? Looking forward to the next one.

The foliage is magical! Will you go to Kyushu and Shikoku?
@@k9healthy I will be in spring!
Ah yes. Fukushima is wonderful. Too bad most tourists won't see it
@@AikoiEmil agreed, it’s so underrated

Are you planning to visit and document the cities of japan too?

My name is Enzo!!! XD
@@bodysurfsooke you gotta see this temple then 😂
@ryan_bednar it's five hours from Tokyo, but I might not have a choice.
Were they pigs or hippos? 😂
Supposed to be cows but I don’t know how they ended up like that 😂
