I'm a high school student in Japan, but I often watch your channel to learn English, and it is a lot of fun in learning things in Japan I even don't know at all.
I watched the periscope stream, both girls did a great job, very relaxing music. Really happy to find out there is 2 more videos coming!, this one was great.
Omg that hotel room is beyond words! The pink room is really pink, I love it! What a perfect town! Your meal look so good! The room you stayed in was really nice! Ty so much for sharing your trip! These kinda vids are my fav! Love ya!❤️
Those girls rock out so hard. I think I remember seeing a video of them on here. I love Japan's veggies especially their green onions. they are massive.
This was so great! I loved how you put in the kana's for some of the things you were explaining. The video looked like such fun, I hope you enjoy it there to the fullest! Fantastic video Sharla!
Oh my goodness, I would love to stay in that pink hotel room! It's so beautiful! People always share those pictures of pink, Hello Kitty themed bedrooms and talk about how insane and over the top they are and meanwhile I'm like "...I want my future house to look exactly like this!"
I'm sorry, I can't tell if the girls are wearing yukata or kimono but whichever it is - both of them are so beautiful! I really love the prints! The polka dots one is so different to what I've seen before! The food looks delicious, too; was it difficult to have a vegan meal prepared for you at the hotel you were at or were they understanding? I worry a lot about eating at non vegan places in Japan. I saw that konyaku stuff in an asian supermarket over here in Scotland not long ago! It said vegetarian squid on it and I almost got some to try until I realised I would have no idea how to cook it or what even to eat it with!
I really loved Matsuyama! Definitely one of my favourite places in Japan to travel. Hopefully I can go back to Shikoku to see more of it. Looking forward to the next parts! :)
Love watching you travel around and showing us different parts of Japan! Something I noticed that you did in this video (and I think it's such a great idea!) is highlighting some of the Japanese terms/vocabulary that was used/relevant to the content. It would be such a great way for us foreign viewers to learn some vocabulary in Japanese without seeming forced or hopefully too much work on your part. It also really adds to the understanding of the video I think, since you make it clear what you're referring to. Just a couple words that you think are important to the video (or maybe you refer to pretty often) would be great! :) Love your main channel and vlog content!
Unsure if you have been there or not, but there is a beautiful train ride going from Odawara to Hakone from memory. It's an older train, in great condition that stops at certain spots on the mountain so you can take photos etc. A day trip is nice but the Ryokan's there are amazing.
Ohh the Ehime mascot is so cute :) I started a travel club at my college and I just hope I can find some people who would love to visit Japan as much as I would ^^
Are you going to Kochi? I lived there for three years and love it. It's too bad you just missed the Yosakoi festival. I recommend checking out Hirome Ichiba and the Makino Botanical Gardens. Also, you can't miss out on the fresh katsuo no tataki (seared skip jack tuna or bonito as some people call it) which you can get at Hirome. Enjoy your trip!
Maybe this is still coming in one of the other parts, but you seriously need to take the train from Kobe over the Seto Island sea all the way down to Kochi. It's beautiful, cutting through valleys and cliffs and little towns perched on the side of canyons.
I love the editing and caption inserts with the vocabulary in! Ehime is on my list of places to see. I'm also vegan, so it's good to see hotels are willing to accommodate. Hope you make it to Kyushu and Hokkaido soon :-)
One time I took a bunch of acid and for some reason this picture on the wall turned into Sharla's face and we had a conversation. I wish I was making this up.
You should try to go to the Gaiya Matsuri in Uwajima (Ehime) It's a summer festival and it is FANTASTIC!! (Ehime "oranges" are known as "clementines "or "cuties" in America)
I love Shikoku. One of my first trips after moving to Japan was to Shikoku actually. I've been there many, many times, simply because I always lived rather close to Shikoku. I still want to do the cycling tour from Hiroshima to Ehime one day. ^^
My grandparents are from e hime Ken, It's nice to see where they lived in Japan, I am told by relatives in Japan I have to visit the family grave there
i totally understand that honshu-centric existence. i really need to visit the other islands. i spent one weekend in okinowa, but shikoku, kyushu, and hokkaido are all on my list, still.
This place looks so amazing! I need to do and experience all of the things. By the way, Sherry would be drastically wrong about that being the only onsen in all of Japan, that allows tattoos. What they may be, is the only onsen in Japan, that allows you to leave your tattoos exposed. There are actually a great deal of onsen in Japan that allow tattoos, so long as you have something to cover them with, and many actually provide sleeves and pieces used specifically for covering tattoos.
Thank you for the Shikoku video. I am currently looking into visiting the island on my trip (2021 I hope), places to visit, things to do, food, travel options and that sort of thing. I see you are a vegan & getting options. That means that my wife will be fine too. Isn't your friend with the beard also handy on the Japanese banjo? Maybe I am, confusing him with another TH-camr. A really enjoyable video that definitely makes me feel like Shikoku will be great tp visit. I'm looking forward to watching Part 2, which I hope is trips in the countryside.
I really like your way of introducing new vocabulary in japanese :D I've been to Japan twice but never asked for the japanese word of cicades xDxD Love your channels
I love all of your little adventures you take! You keep making my list of places that I want to go to even bigger. I am actually moving to Japan in a couple of weeks! What kind of advice can you give me once I am there? I am already learning some Japanese thanks to Anime and a few classes that I took a few months back. I am super excited and scared at the same time, Japan has always been my number one place I would go to for vacation, but I ended up with a better deal and now I get to live here for a few years. Also what advice can you give me for when it comes to starting my own channel? I plan to record everything that I do in Japan! Keep my adventure list growing!~Chibi
thank you for sharing your adventures. This inspires me to want to get out and travel there. America seems plain and boring compared to all the places you visit.
I'm a high school student in Japan, but
I often watch your channel to learn English, and it is a lot of fun in learning things in Japan I even don't know at all.
Aww that's so nice! I hope you learned something from watching my videos :)
Orange souvenirs, can't wait to buy them... For my friends.
I was scrolling down comments and she said that as soon as I was reading your comment 😆
+Deluxe 4 haha
I love floral themed art. The first room was so lovely.
I just realized every painting I have in my apartment has flowers. The obsession continues...
Love the Shamisen music! Those girls are amazing! Totally gorgeous over there! Thanks for sharing!
The musicians are absolutely stunning. And their kimonos are simply spectacular.
Loved the "blue" room with Sakura? drawing and the Shamisen music performance.
Have to look that up on TH-cam & Google.
I love when you put translations for Japanese words on your videos. It's so helpful!
It looks like you are having a wonderful time! Thank you for sharing your experience and I look forward to the next part!
Sharla, I love that you're adding the bit of vocab in your videos! It's done very tastefully and organically. 😊
I watched the periscope stream, both girls did a great job, very relaxing music. Really happy to find out there is 2 more videos coming!, this one was great.
lovely video as always thank you for letting me experience Japan through your eyes xx
I've visited Tokushima for the famous dance carnival last year. It's just a few hours away from Osaka and loved the every moments we spent there.
The little tidbit translations you put in are really helpful! Thanks so much, I hope you keep adding them!
OMG the performer's yukatas are gorgeous! 😍😍
I love it when you put the words and meanings in your videos because that way I learn vocabulary while watching a great video! Thank you Sharla 💜
STOP TRYING TO CONVERT ME SHARLA lol
Great times. So many things in there I forgot about
....the ice... (>_
Hahaha so many good memories. I'm looking forward to editing part two :D
I loved the close ups and break down of the food. All the little details are so fascinating and intimate. Great video :)
Omg that hotel room is beyond words! The pink room is really pink, I love it! What a perfect town! Your meal look so good! The room you stayed in was really nice! Ty so much for sharing your trip! These kinda vids are my fav! Love ya!❤️
Those girls rock out so hard. I think I remember seeing a video of them on here.
I love Japan's veggies especially their green onions. they are massive.
I love your enthusiasm and excitement over everything. (I really notice this with food, like the vegan cuts video, lol). It makes it so fun to watch!
"Even the cats are orange :D " XD SHARLA. haha.
Oh my gosh the second room in the art exhibit was absolutely beautiful!!! I definitely agree with you...I'd love to live there!
😄 so kawii! (hope I spelt that right) can't wait for more, I ❤ your videos you have such a soothing persona.
Thanks for filming & sharing 😊 So much fun
Good job on Day one! I'm sure it takes some mental and physical exertion!
Wow 10 years already. Senpai!!!
I live for your videos! They give me so much hope for the future ❤
Thank you for this awesome video!
Your videos always have most interesting content. ^^
And omg the food looks so super yummy...
I love this video so much. I plan to visit!
I love the shamisen!! Beautiful sound!! I would like to taste all that food. Look so yummy! I really like your videos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was so great! I loved how you put in the kana's for some of the things you were explaining. The video looked like such fun, I hope you enjoy it there to the fullest! Fantastic video Sharla!
I really enjoyed this! when Sharla travels it becomes a visual treat/experience for us as well XD thank you Sharla
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did... and I'm only watching it LOL I soooo want to experience that one day. Many blessings!
Ahhh! The food looks so delicious and it looks like an amazing trip Sharla! Sending much love to you from Chicago! 😊💗
I'm from America and been living in Matsuyama for 2 years now! Glad you had fun here~
It's so beautiful! I really enjoyed this video! Thank your Sharla!
This looks like so much fun ! Norm was really funny too :) I can't wait to see the rest :D
Awesome trip. Can't believe you've never been to Shikoku in 10 years in Japan. I love ryokan too and stay in one in Tokyo when I vacation in Japan.
I love how much quieter it seems than Tokyo! It seems very relaxing. c:
Oh my goodness, I would love to stay in that pink hotel room! It's so beautiful! People always share those pictures of pink, Hello Kitty themed bedrooms and talk about how insane and over the top they are and meanwhile I'm like "...I want my future house to look exactly like this!"

I miss your videos on the main channel !!!
This video made me happy and the spam
attention of 2:12 "Look at the butterflyyyy" hahaha
Wow, those hotel rooms are so gorgeous!
This was a fun video to watch Sharla! I like how you implement a few Japanese words so we can learn some too. ^^
I really loved Matsuyama! Definitely one of my favourite places in Japan to travel. Hopefully I can go back to Shikoku to see more of it. Looking forward to the next parts! :)
I always wanted to go there and now even more ♥ Thanks for sharing!
Love your channel!!! 💕💕 I love watching your videos!
Flower power room was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yassss Barenaked ladies lol 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Omg such a pink room I LOVE IT
how lovely of your friend to organise the trip :) haha, even the cats are orange xD
wonderful vlog :)
Sharla! I must admit I did kinda miss these types of video, loved it
Going to Shikoku to do the pilgrimage next year. Going to have to check out the hotels when there.
Ohh the Ehime mascot is so cute :) I started a travel club at my college and I just hope I can find some people who would love to visit Japan as much as I would ^^

My little girls would love the pink hotel room!
Your food looked so amazing!

I can't believe that they are going to have the Olympic in Japan.
I can't wait to go back to Japan!!!
Great video! I'll have to take a trip their too with my gf and make a vlog!!
I love the editing and caption inserts with the vocabulary in! Ehime is on my list of places to see. I'm also vegan, so it's good to see hotels are willing to accommodate. Hope you make it to Kyushu and Hokkaido soon :-)
One time I took a bunch of acid and for some reason this picture on the wall turned into Sharla's face and we had a conversation. I wish I was making this up.
well was it at least an interesting conversation?
sounds pretty lit
would be more impressive if you were transported in your trip to the edo period and wandered around instead of this.
You should try to go to the Gaiya Matsuri in Uwajima (Ehime)
It's a summer festival and it is FANTASTIC!!
(Ehime "oranges" are known as "clementines "or "cuties" in America)
I went to quite a lot of Onsen and Sento in Hokkaido and I have tattoos :) there were some that I was turned away but otherwise I went to so many!!
Great video. Love ya Sharla.
シャーラさん、応援してます!
楽しい動画アップ、ありがとう!
こちらこそ見てくれてありがとうございます!!^0^
YAY ONSEN THAT ALLOWS TATTOOS! Hopefully heading to japan next year so its good to know a place i can enjoy the onsens!
Omg it's so beautiful, I wanna go there too 😍
thank you Sharla for sharing this experience with us! 😊
I'd love to visit that place someday!
I love Shikoku. One of my first trips after moving to Japan was to Shikoku actually.
I've been there many, many times, simply because I always lived rather close to Shikoku.
I still want to do the cycling tour from Hiroshima to Ehime one day. ^^
Your friends beard is freaking amazing! I am just starting out on mine (4 months).
My grandparents are from e hime Ken, It's nice to see where they lived in Japan, I am told by relatives in Japan I have to visit the family grave there
Loved watching this! Thanks for sharing, Sharla :)
The food looks amazing
Nice vid!! ^^ loved Kiki's music
Kiki are so amazing!
i totally understand that honshu-centric existence. i really need to visit the other islands. i spent one weekend in okinowa, but shikoku, kyushu, and hokkaido are all on my list, still.

Thanks for the Video, Sherry was drinking Orangina, a Swiss Drink :) I didn't know you can find it in Japan.
It's really popular here! There's a lemon version too... and a blood orange version which is the best ;D
I love the Blood Orange Version :) But i don't know a Lemon Version, only Orange and Blood Orange, maybe only in Japan.
Don't worry you're not missing out, it's horrible D: haha
Thank you for the Shikoku video. I am currently looking into visiting the island on my trip (2021 I hope), places to visit, things to do, food, travel options and that sort of thing. I see you are a vegan & getting options. That means that my wife will be fine too.
Isn't your friend with the beard also handy on the Japanese banjo? Maybe I am, confusing him with another TH-camr.
A really enjoyable video that definitely makes me feel like Shikoku will be great tp visit. I'm looking forward to watching Part 2, which I hope is trips in the countryside.
Love the music!
I loved this video (I love all ur vids 💖
Just when you pointed out the butterfly in the video, a real moth flew against my window haha!
You're in my neck of the woods!!! I live in Takamatsu!!
Jealous! It's such a beautiful place!! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
00:37 sharla could so totally rock the short hairstyle!
So beautiful😍❤️❤️❤️
こんな朝から!お疲れ様です
Hope you're having a great experience! :D
My favorite part of the video, "Is that for your feet? OH LOOK AT THE BUTTERFLY!!!"
とっても動画楽しかったです!北海道も行ってみてください!海鮮料理がとても美味しいですよ!!
I was impressed that you were in matsuyama because I live there :)
I really like your way of introducing new vocabulary in japanese :D I've been to Japan twice but never asked for the japanese word of cicades xDxD Love your channels
I love your video. Thanks for adding some japanese words so we can learn them. :)
Sherry is so sweet!
Totally thought of the Orange anime at 3:37 :D
ベジタリアンになられたんですね!自分もPesco Vegetarianなので親近感です。ただシャーラさんが以前よく紹介されていたような日本の外食チェーン店の紹介動画が個人的にとても好きなので、なかなか難しいかもですがそういったお店でのベジ向けメニューの紹介動画なんてあればとても観てみたいです。
I love all of your little adventures you take! You keep making my list of places that I want to go to even bigger. I am actually moving to Japan in a couple of weeks!

Love the intro song, I listen to it every time XD
楽しい動画をありがとう😃
so much orange and pink 0.0 I want matcha~!! haha The place looks so amazing~ the dark blue tatami looks coool
thank you for sharing your adventures. This inspires me to want to get out and travel there. America seems plain and boring compared to all the places you visit.
