One thing I always think when I see videos of places in Japan is how amazingly clean everything is and how well everything fits together, like the new building design blending with the older style and natural surroundings just seems to all fit together so incredibly well.
Both of us will have day 2 coming tomorrow!! :D You can see everyone else's video links in the description box. Yahiko ♥ It was a wonderful small town and I really hope more people discover it!
OMG Rachel! I want to try that Panda now!! I will have to see about going there in March, my best friend as I wrote on Jun's video lives in Niigata! I will have to ask her where that place is. I was just laughing when you were making your panda bow!! LOL My daughter said Yes, bite the head off. LOL What?!?!? Too much food I couldn't finish half of that! Poor ....Dear sweet Millie. It was and Epic battle! Millie VS Cassette player, but alas she won! LOL I made a Giphy of Millie
I booked a ticket for Japan about 2 months ago and got back to the States today. I wanted an excursion for a few days, I decided to go to Yahiko after seeing your video. BTW, after seeing your Miyazaki video, that is going to be my next trip to Japan. Going in the last week of Nov, at the beginning of winter, Wed-Fri, the town was a completely different scene. Most stores closed at 2pm and many stores which said they were going to be open based upon their posted hours, weren't really observed. It's a small town on the off season, so it is what it is just like small towns in the US. Overall, still a great trip, the town is very charming. I really wanted to try the wappameshi at Yamaboshi, but they were closed all three days we were there. On the 3rd day, the sign flipped to closed for the day to "Preparing", but we had to leave before they opened to catch the train back to Tokyo. Yoshida had a wappmeshi too, but again, Yoshida's didn't open before I had to go and I left around 12pm, so I guess on a Friday on the off season, maybe they only open for the evening business. I tried to setup a lunch or dinner at Minoya for a full proper Kaiseki, but that didn't happen either. I had to have booked over a week in advance... the Kaiseki's start around 10,000 Yen, a head which was not an issue for me, but I was just a bit disappointed how they couldn't accommodate me as a paid staying hotel guest for dinner. I believe that ppl at the hotel for conferences had booked up the dinners even though they were not lodging there. don't get me wrong, I loved Yahiko, but it requires some Japanese skills and planning to get reservations and to call these these restaurants to figure out when they are open. Again, the village is charming and the woods around it are beautiful. I kind of which I had another day or two to do some proper hiking around the towns trails. Thank you for the great adventure Rachel and Jun!
+ironqqq Thanks for all this info! This is really helpful advice for anyone else going. I don't yet have the ability on this channel to pin comments to the top of the comment section, but when we get that hopefully I'll be able to find this comment again!
On the day I left, Friday, sleepy Yahiko seemed to spring back to life awaiting weekend travelers from Tokyo and Niigata. I also had lots of fun in little izakayas with locals for dinner. Learning how small town izakayas work, trying to interpret the Japanese and communication was a great experience. The Panda-yaki was great, we tried 4 out of the 5 flavors in two visits and bought snacks as well as buying local confectioneries pickles to take home.I also talked to the hotel staff and it seemed the peak tourist season had just ended, by only 2 weeks, with the local chrysanthemum festival and fall foliage concluding on the 2nd / 3rd week of November. I think for those wanting a livelier Yahiko should visit between spring and 2nd week of November. BTW, the train journey to get out to Yahiko was great. This is my 2nd trip to Japan and first time leaving Tokyo for a small town. The experience getting tickets, learning about seat costs+trip costs on trains, dealing with Midori no madoguchi, shinkansen, transferring, transferring and transferring again to little stations was invaluable. The train journey was also fun go through the villages of Yahagi and Nishi-Tsubame. This just gives me more confidence to go even further next time. Again, thank you Rachel and Jun for getting me here. Keep on making great videos.
+Funny stuff Channel I only went to the bath in the Minoya hotel, so no hot spring. I've gone back to Japan yet another time since I made my post about the visit to Yahiko in Nov 2016. Japan is a very interesting place... just go. You will not be disappointed. I visit about 4-7 countries a year and Japan is still by far the most interesting place to visit. If you live in the US west coast like me, tickets to Japan are dirt cheap in the off season. When tickets are $500-600, how can you say no?

I remember a while back, me and my family visited Dallas Texas for my aunts funeral. Before we left, we went to a botanical garden. There was a lake with koi, and you could feed them! I remember I lost my shoes there haha. I found them though, I also remember my mom said her great uncle(?) worked in the botanical garden and took care of the plants and everything. It was like there was a tiny piece of Japan in Dallas. And I think that’s where I started to love Japan! : ]
Ahh yes the eternal conversation in Japan. "Ohayou gozaimasu!" "Aah, nihongo jouzu desu ne!" No, I literally just said good morning, but thanks anyway! :)
hahaha on one hand it's the best because we all understand each other, like if we need to take extra time somewhere because we're doing a time lapse or if we need to "retake" shots a couple times, and everyone's fine being on camera. But when we do the exact same thing I worry about our footage being too similar, so I try to do some of my own thing a bit when we're in groups. And of course our editing styles are usually different enough that I think it's just fine. ^^
Oh wow. This was the first video I saw with Rachel and Jun from another youtuber. Her red hair and bubbly personality caught my attention. Ah, memories.
The thing I loved about rural Japan was the homely welcome and massive amount of food...just when you thought you finished and your full......nope...more is served. Many dishes!!!
The shot at 8:16 is actually really artsy-looking, with the shiny tile and the shrine boxing in the bright street in the background with the umbrella girl silhouette in the foreground. The music is also great.
I 💚 新潟. I lived in that prefecture for two years. My first year was in the Niigata-shi & my second year was in a rice village near Sanjo (close to Yahiko). I even went to the Yahiko matsuri. Thank you for showing images of the countryside - I miss it!! Did you try Sasadango while there?
I really appreciate that you show us the parts that didn`t end up so well (like the night walk...) - somehow it helps to illustrate the atmosphere even better:) thanks for this video!
RACHEL AND JUN NEED MORE SPONSORSHIPS LIKE THIS BECAUSE I MISS THIS AND I’VE WATCHED IT FIVE TIMES ALREADY AND I WANT MORE TRAVELING thank you for coming to my ted talk
whoever had the idea of making 2 teams for this trip has my appreciation hahaha SO awesome see two totally different experience in the same village and PS Millie I love your cuteness
Was watching right before I had togo to school and I couldnt help but compliment on music choice! Especially when the girl group was in the lunchroom in the hotel. My favorite.
3:11 "like Julius Caesar or something": I think that's a deliberate reference to テルマエ・ロマエ, a manga about an ancient roman bath architect that randomly time-travels to modern Japan and learns tricks of the bath trade. There's actually a chapter where he learns about using these how-to signs to help foreigners familiarize themselves with local customs. The art style and the Roman dude look like they're from that manga.
You did it Milie! XD And it looks like you all had an awesome sleepover >~< It was very beautiful, both the food and the scenery! Thank you for sharing and I hope you have fun! :)
Super props to Millie for taking care of us all and leading us around!! She also has her own channel (although I don't know if she is making a video about Yahiko) and she's so adorable it's insane :'D th-cam.com/users/milliefreckles Thank you!! ♥
full marks for the wonderful places you take us to and for your way of communicating and the way in which you put things across to us really interesting never boring
start saving and learn the basics of the language like hello, asking for directions, manners, etc. idk your situation but by 18 it's gonna be hard to be able to afford a plane+ hotel to Japan so best tip I can give u is to just get a job and save! I don't care much about Olympics but I do want to visit Japan once I'm done uni
Just wanted to say that I love your videos! I'm travelling to Tokyo again this year and watching your travels is so inspiring! I'd love to try onsen but I am a nervous; they look lovely though!
Thank you so much! It's really nerve-wracking at first, but since everyone else just does their own thing I think it's easy to get used to! ^^ I lost all worries about my body using Japanese public baths. :D
This is great, I totally want to visit that panda place when I go to Japan someday! You guys should make a video explaining what prefectures are, because they confuse me. 😝
Oh okay, thanks XD My friends and I are planning to go to Japan in a couple years and I'm always watching your videos and thinking, "Wow, I wanna go there!" 😁
There are so many places to go!! Good luck getting to as many of them as possible! You'll probably have to keep coming back to Japan a lot to see them all. ;)
It's funny thinking that Japan is almost the same size as Montana (where I live), yet there's SOOO much more to see! I'm thinking of getting a teaching degree and going out there and teaching English, then I'd be able to stay there longer. :D
Abby Johnson Isn't there like ten people per 20 square miles? I know out of all the states Montana is the one with fewest people per something square miles.
My school is on a trip to Japan right now and we just left a ryokan for Tokyo. We were fortunate enough to eat dinner at the ryokan, and there was SO MUCH FOOD!! I'm so happy to see that you guys are enjoying the same things. (^-^)
I just realised that YOU TWO WOULD BE AN AMAZING SAO PAIR!! I MEAN YOU GUYS ARE PRACTICALLY KIRITO AND ASUNA!!! oh man I so hope you guys cosplay them and if I'm missing something and you guys have already done this can someone SHOW ME
Ok! lets count all the times they ate! :: 1 :: at the pana place! ::2 / 3 :: at the hotel ( the meal was so big it counts as two ) :: 3 the cafe! thats a lot of food.... ( thinks about how much food eats at home ) you know what i take that back..
QUESTION!!!! at 3:22 when you guys go to the outdoor onsen there are windows from the building across. They look like you could see into the onsen... And if you're supposed to be naked.... well... you get it. Did it look like you could see in from the other building?
There's no need to speak Japanese fluently! :D Actually, (and this would not be for the weak of heart) the less you speak, the more you probably need to rely on communicating with strangers and getting help, which I think in the end gives you a better experience since you get to interact with people more and experience just how hospitable people are here. If you speak the language fluently you'll be able to just get around without talking to anyone at all. I think some of the best experiences I've heard people have have been when they needed help and random strangers went out of their way to make their day. :) EDIT: Spelled hospitable hospital
Rachel, if I come visit Japan with my husband can you and Jun come to dinner with us XD Kidding of course but that would make my whole trip! Love you guys!
Aww, the lady at the panda-yaki place was so adorable!
Hii kak sunnyy I'm so glad to know both of you are friends cause all of you are my favorite youtubers.. ^^
One thing I always think when I see videos of places in Japan is how amazingly clean everything is and how well everything fits together, like the new building design blending with the older style and natural surroundings just seems to all fit together so incredibly well.
"Dude, your mouth is coming out of your MOUTH... Freaking me out a little bit, buddy"
I love Koi too, silly colourful water puppies. :'D
Ikr!
Both of us will have day 2 coming tomorrow!! :D
You can see everyone else's video links in the description box.

you're link is broken on juns vid T^T
WHOOPS thank you!! I'll fix it!!
OMG Rachel! I want to try that Panda now!! I will have to see about going there in March, my best friend as I wrote on Jun's video lives in Niigata! I will have to ask her where that place is. I was just laughing when you were making your panda bow!! LOL
My daughter said Yes, bite the head off. LOL
What?!?!? Too much food I couldn't finish half of that! Poor ....Dear sweet Millie. It was and Epic battle! Millie VS Cassette player, but alas she won! LOL I made a Giphy of Millie
do you have a twitter or facebook
OMG!!! You'd need at least a week to be able to try all the food I saw in this video!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOO JEALOUS!!!
Boy Team: We are stuffed
Girl Team: We're getting more food.
omg i wanna be back on that lovely futon all passed out sleeping like a baby again~
I knoooow!! Me too! :D
I found it amusing that your phone is closer to you than your glasses. And I know your pretty blind.
So some umbrellas in Japan offer free hotels for you to borrow? Sounds great! :D
umbrellas and some shops do it as well. They are usually transparent with white handles, left near the doors
Oh I know, and that's pretty neat. I was just poking fun at Rachel's little slip, lol.
Friendly umbrellas are the best! My blue umbrella would never give me a free room!
I lost my umbrella before he could give me a free hotel :(
That Antonio
Thats so sad, siri play despacito

Yeah, we couldn't do the table tennis OR the karaoke!
Yeah, you heard right. They had KARAOKE ROOMS!!
Oh my, when you guys said you got a lot of food, I didn't expect THAT much! haha
HI!
Whenever I see koi fish, I can't help thinking that they're talking to me
Like "dwub bwub bwub bwub"
that grandmother was simply adorable
Rachel: flops panda around
me: that is so totally gonna fall
Everything looked soooo nice. (and I loved he shot at 0.20) Grrrreat video! ^^

関係ないけどみめいの寝方がかわいい。
Ahh yes the eternal conversation in Japan. "Ohayou gozaimasu!" "Aah, nihongo jouzu desu ne!" No, I literally just said good morning, but thanks anyway! :)
+Pellaaearien hahahaha it never fails
OMG that legend about the bunnies just gave me life 🐰
Any excuse for a thousand bunny things all over the city works for me :'D
I second this
SO MUCH FOOD! Your stomach's must have been ready to explode! It's nice to get really great service like that.
Must be strange travelling with all these other TH-camrs, everyone filming everyone else all at the same time haha

Nice video! the narration makes it so pro!
it was so nice meeting you x) & Welcome to Taiwan!
haha thank you! Thank you for teaching me Taiwanese!! Hope to see you there! ヽ(^ ▽ ^)ノ
That lady at the panda place was so sweet!
Oh wow. This was the first video I saw with Rachel and Jun from another youtuber. Her red hair and bubbly personality caught my attention. Ah, memories.
Rachel trying to talk about the bunnies without laughing is precious, your smile was extremely evident in your voice LOL
The thing I loved about rural Japan was the homely welcome and massive amount of food...just when you thought you finished and your full......nope...more is served. Many dishes!!!
i feel like i was with you. what a lovely meal on the floor with very elegant dishes and setting (and guests of course!)
The shot at 8:16 is actually really artsy-looking, with the shiny tile and the shrine boxing in the bright street in the background with the umbrella girl silhouette in the foreground. The music is also great.
Rachel is so relatable.
"dude, your mouth is coming out of your mouth" haha i love it
I got so nervous with Rachel flapping around the pandayaki lol. I loved watching this video!
I 💚 新潟.
I lived in that prefecture for two years. My first year was in the Niigata-shi & my second year was in a rice village near Sanjo (close to Yahiko). I even went to the Yahiko matsuri. Thank you for showing images of the countryside - I miss it!! Did you try Sasadango while there?

Everyone is so kind to you about you Japanese. It just warms my heart 💕
From watching both if their videos, i learned their favorite words
Rachel: Aw Yis
Jun: Yep
RACHEL AND JUN NEED MORE SPONSORSHIPS LIKE THIS BECAUSE I MISS THIS AND I’VE WATCHED IT FIVE TIMES ALREADY AND I WANT MORE TRAVELING
thank you for coming to my ted talk
I spent 10 years as a wanderer in japan, this was my favorite spot, the people here are always so kind.
"it is soo floppy I can't help doing this."
How does Jun get any sleep?
OH MAN.
Oh lord

Was watching right before I had togo to school and I couldnt help but compliment on music choice! Especially when the girl group was in the lunchroom in the hotel. My favorite.

A really awesome view of the surrounding area.
Loved the hills with the trees alongside the buildings.
I can watch your programmes over and over again and never get bored
I love your Vlogs soo much!! Your Humor is just dry and Funny xd
Have a safe trip!!
This looked like such a nice vacation. This definitely looked like a great and memorable experience.
full marks for the wonderful places you take us to and for your way of communicating and the way in which you put things across to us really interesting never boring
The english subtitles are SO funny! Looks like a great place and that food... God all the glorious food!!
I watched Jun and you, Rachel videos and I love both of them. So, cute, how the fishes follow you, Rachel.
always look like an awesome group to hang out with! Thank you for these videos.
Love these videos ❤❤
とても楽しく見させていただきました。
私は秋田に住んでいて、新潟へも旅行したことがあるのですが、弥彦村のことは初めて知りました。
Junの動画も見たのですが、女性も男性も楽しめそうな、いい場所ですね！
次の新潟旅行には弥彦村に行ってみようと思います！
Such a great video! 💖 Definitely have to visit here now!
Ryokan meals are the best. Small portions.... but they just keep coming one after another after another after another.
Wish i was there to finish your leftovers ;-; looks good. btw I really like when you guys do these two sided episodes there different =D
This video is awesome, the place looks amazing, and watching Millie react to the cassette player was hilarious. Jeesh, I feel old now.
Rachels hair looks amazing!
I GOT THE STRAIGHT PEEEEERM I'M SO HAPPY WITH MY HAIR RIGHT NOW!! :D :D :D
A mochi Panda and a Matcha Cafe? *-* That Sounds so amazing!
Your videos make my heart happy.
I hope when I'm 18 I get to go to Japan to see the olympics. Hopefully I'll know decent Japanese.
start savin
start saving and learn the basics of the language like hello, asking for directions, manners, etc. idk your situation but by 18 it's gonna be hard to be able to afford a plane+ hotel to Japan so best tip I can give u is to just get a job and save! I don't care much about Olympics but I do want to visit Japan once I'm done uni
Same plan :D
oop
ooop this didn't age well lol you will need to watch until 2021 now
This video was stupidly adorable. I'd love to have a group of girl friends to go around Japan with, you guys look like you're having so much fun!
Just wanted to say that I love your videos! I'm travelling to Tokyo again this year and watching your travels is so inspiring! I'd love to try onsen but I am a nervous; they look lovely though!
Thank you so much!
It's really nerve-wracking at first, but since everyone else just does their own thing I think it's easy to get used to! ^^ I lost all worries about my body using Japanese public baths. :D
This is great, I totally want to visit that panda place when I go to Japan someday! You guys should make a video explaining what prefectures are, because they confuse me. 😝
Oh, it's basically the same thing as states in America! Or provinces in Canada. :)
Oh okay, thanks XD
My friends and I are planning to go to Japan in a couple years and I'm always watching your videos and thinking, "Wow, I wanna go there!" 😁
There are so many places to go!! Good luck getting to as many of them as possible! You'll probably have to keep coming back to Japan a lot to see them all. ;)
It's funny thinking that Japan is almost the same size as Montana (where I live), yet there's SOOO much more to see! I'm thinking of getting a teaching degree and going out there and teaching English, then I'd be able to stay there longer. :D
Abby Johnson Isn't there like ten people per 20 square miles? I know out of all the states Montana is the one with fewest people per something square miles.
My school is on a trip to Japan right now and we just left a ryokan for Tokyo. We were fortunate enough to eat dinner at the ryokan, and there was SO MUCH FOOD!! I'm so happy to see that you guys are enjoying the same things. (^-^)
The panda mochi looked so cute! No wonder you couldn't eat all of that meal, there was loads!
mochi panda bear looks good~ oh and OMG matcha cafee!!!! yahiko is so nice
So much good eats with friends, can't get any better!
1:06 I would have loved to see the panda's head coming off and falling to the ground with a teary followup by Rachel - just for comedic effects :'D
You are a terrible, terrible person :'D
Ahh~ this makes me feel so relaxed. I gotta go to this part of Japan!
Omg this was so funny... the Julius Caesar at the onsen lololol Also, the panda mochi snack looked sooo good! * ^*
I could eat all that food! I love both of your videos, I'm glad I found your channels
I loved yours and Jun's videos! just so fun and relaxing to watch. the food looked amazing too :>
I just realised that YOU TWO WOULD BE AN AMAZING SAO PAIR!! I MEAN YOU GUYS ARE PRACTICALLY KIRITO AND ASUNA!!! oh man I so hope you guys cosplay them and if I'm missing something and you guys have already done this can someone SHOW ME
Hahaha, the part where you said "free hotels" instead of "free umbrellas" made me laugh XD awesome video as always!
I had watched Kasia's video earlier today and it's rather interesting seeing the same events from a different perspective.
Ok! lets count all the times they ate! :: 1 :: at the pana place! ::2 / 3 :: at the hotel ( the meal was so big it counts as two ) :: 3 the cafe! thats a lot of food.... ( thinks about how much food eats at home ) you know what i take that back..
So beautiful... Still hoping to live in Japan one day. I'll look forward when I do
2:36 'OOH KOI I DIDN'T SEE THE KOI' 😂😂😂😂
This is cool, you guys have the most awesome trips
I saw Millie.. awww :"3 i like her.. she's so kawaii..♡
QUESTION!!!! at 3:22 when you guys go to the outdoor onsen there are windows from the building across. They look like you could see into the onsen... And if you're supposed to be naked.... well... you get it. Did it look like you could see in from the other building?
I can't wait go japan next month! :D
Oh god, I'm SO jealous of your futon, guys! ;___; It's the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, wish I had one back home...
You go to so many amazing places ;_;
Teasing the young girl, for not knowing how to use a cassette player: Priceless :D
Hey Rachel. Have you done a video on Koji (cooking with and making it)?
I love following your adventures around Japan, I hope one day I'll be able to visit but not until I can speak Japanese fluently
There's no need to speak Japanese fluently! :D Actually, (and this would not be for the weak of heart) the less you speak, the more you probably need to rely on communicating with strangers and getting help, which I think in the end gives you a better experience since you get to interact with people more and experience just how hospitable people are here. If you speak the language fluently you'll be able to just get around without talking to anyone at all. I think some of the best experiences I've heard people have have been when they needed help and random strangers went out of their way to make their day. :)
EDIT: Spelled hospitable hospital
Nice Vid as always and nice Background music.
This reminds me of the naruto episode where Yamato team 7 go to the onsen
Omg I was an exchange student in niigata for a year and we also made a trip to yahiko temple :D
The guy's video was hilarious and yours is so cute >w< omg the cassette player though X3
At 5:43 does anyone know where i can buy a chair like that i looked on amazon and could not find one i like, but the one in the video is perfect.
I like these kind of traveling vlogs.
My goal is to stay at a Ryokan at least once! They look so serene!
You absolutely should!! They can be pretty pricey but it's definitely a necessary experience in Japan. ^^
Rachel, if I come visit Japan with my husband can you and Jun come to dinner with us XD Kidding of course but that would make my whole trip! Love you guys!
