Thanks for stopping by! Apologies for the delay in video uploads, launching a business has proven to be quite time consuming haha. We've gotten into the swing of things so regular video uploads will resume! Thanks for your patience always❤️ I'll be doing a livestream tomorrow over on my Sharla in Japan channel! Come hang! th-cam.com/video/g0BS5j4WuBE/w-d-xo.html
@B B Happy is the one who is content , he is pleased whether GOD gives him something or takes it away from him. Children are ornaments if you have them thanks ALLAH and if you don't still thanks HIM. Wealthiest is the one who is content and when calamities befall on him/she they are patient.
I'm Japanese but I've never been to Yamagata and harvested dadacha beans. It looks really fun!! My twitter follower told me your channel, and I'm learning English by watching your video. Thanks!!
Sharla is a hero. Scared of heights - still goes on a roller coaster. “That dark basement of the abandoned power plant is scary - let’s explore it!”. Needs to wake up at 4 a.m.? Sharla appears fresh and shining with a smile! Compare to Chris who filmed a whole scene about how hard it is for him to wake up for the fish market.
@@Moonphoria97 Chris Broad is a TH-camr from the channel Abroad in Japan. I definitely recommend checking his channel out. You'll find Sharla featured in some of his videos as well. His content, perspective, and character keep me coming back. Here's a video with him and Sharla having brunch at a Japanese Market: th-cam.com/video/It338b61dU8/w-d-xo.html
I love them both though lol. Sharla really immerses her videos into the cultural aspects of Japan while Chris makes everything entertaining. Both shoot amazing quality videos. I also always like their dynamic together in videos--take that as you will lol
Nori-san has a nice smile. For some reason he looks like an anime protagonist in a slice of life farm anime about a man who leaves his 9-5 corporate job to work at his family farm.
Farming is such hard, under-appreciated work! I can almost smell the cool air of the morning while watching this...makes me want to visit Japan even more than I already do. Arigato gozaimasu , Sharla. 🙂
Sharla is honestly such a pro in doing important and meaninful work, she's so respectful and just a joy to watch. all this and she also does a beautiful work filming and editing the videos. really, i just get so inspired by her joy and professionalism everytime she does one of this types of videos.
It's amazingly kind of you to film something like this. Not enough farmers get visibility. Aside from that you always do a fantastic job of showing the hard work and fun of things like farming, berry picking, etc. I'm so glad you did this. I think the world needs more videos like this.
Thank you soooo much for your travel videos! Since we are stuck at home homeschooling your videos help everyone to have a sneak peak into a different life.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the farmers. I've been to Japan 5 times, but I've never visited this area. Next time I won't miss it. Derek is such a cool guy. You should collaborate with him more often. His channel deserves more attention.
That was amazingly beautiful! The mountains, the fields, the sunrise are all stunning!🏞 I also wouldn't mind watching Nori-san cook for me, another lovely sight🤗
What a fantastic video! This is my favorite type of content that you do. Beautifully filmed and edited, with friendly and interesting people. I really enjoyed this.
Great video Sharla! The farmer was so friendly and informative and I’m surprised when he knew some English! Was awesome to see the process they go through at the plant too *drone footage was really nice in the morning wowee*
Sharla, we will always be patient. You out out great, fun, and educational videos! Seeing the rural and the city life is great. It reminds us that Japan is not just the tourist traps. You show us the HEART of Japan, the people! Thank you!
Easy to follow pace for the video. Felt like I was on the trip and understood the process from harvesting to packaging. Rural life: taihen dai yo ne...
This was a great video Sharla! Of course homestays are all a bit geared toward visitors but it's a whole different vibe from Tokyo that most would never even be aware of. Thanks for uploading!
Its produce as it should be. People know the value of fresh picked produce. Its sad that in Australia consumers think a punnet of strawberries that is only harvested 3 months in the year by hand should only cost $2. It shouldnt be cheap. I loved being in Japan and seeing the respect they provide their home gròwn produce.
I love spending time with locals and learning new things. I was lucky enough to visit Totsukawa and stay at a really lovely ryokan where the host taught us how to make Konjac and a different type of sushi where a whole leaf is used. After we took the konjac and sushi to a locals chicken farm where he helped us pick shitake and cook them to go with our meal. It was an amazing experience.
That video was incredible! The editing was perfect, the drone shots were exciting, commentary was insightful. I learned so much about edamame! I always look at the length of time and first thought it was too short, but it was just right for my attention span. Thanks, Sharla!
Amazing video. So interesting and I absolutely loved the shots of the rice fields and mountains! Made me want to travel so badly. Wish I could live by the mountains. Please keep these types of videos coming!
This is one of the best Japan blogs I have seen in a very long time. I had never thought about doing this but it is now on my "must do" list. Rabid thumbs up
What an amazing video! I've started watching a bunch of your videos since you appeared in a few of the Abroad videos. It's nice to see these smaller towns highlighted that may not get much exposure in mainstream media. I'll be adding this town to my list of places to visit. Cheers!
Thank you, Sharla for always showing so many different ways to experience Japan and get to know the culture better. I would love to try a farm stay in Japan one day! You really are an inspiration 🥰
This is such a cool video. It’s awesome that you’re able to go all throughout Japan and show us SO many different things. This was pleasant af and educational
This was so interesting! Thank you for sharing this with us! I love videos that not only show life in the countryside, but also explain just what is going on in the fields and beyond. :)
I have started a job this year working with farmers and I have never met such good hearted people. I have learned so much these past few months and have gained such an appreciation for where our food comes from.
I would love to do in a home stay in the countryside! I can imagine it’ll be an amazing experience! 🥰 I can’t wait for the future! For now...I’ll just continue my daily London life 😋...
❤️ your videos. I have been to Japan many times. Spent most of my time in the city of Hamamatsu. I have however traveled to most all of Japan’s historic sites and cities. Your vlogs are absolutely amazing and make me miss my travels to Japan.
Awesome. Very educational and it looks like it was well worth the early hour of waking up. I can’t imagine doing such intense manual labor as they do but to add on the fact they didn’t have a harvester vehicle until 20 years ago REALLY makes you appreciate and not take for granted what we have as far as modern harvesting at farms.
What a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing your experiences. I really miss Japan right now, and this helped as I sometimes travel to Yamagata-ken to do research when I am staying in Sendai.
I really enjoyed learning about the whole edamame growing process, I think you should explore more like this in the area you live - it was fascinating plus the hosts were great too
Even for Japanese like me, this video is very informative and beautifully filmed and edited. I appreciate you introducing Japanese deep culture with great respect!
Thanks so much for inviting me Derek! What a cool experience :D I’ll definitely be back soon! Bet the rice fields are an amazing golden colour right now😍

thank you for farmstay video
hope your bsuiness is working out well!
You really need Chris to explain the complex world of Edamame.
Thank You for the video, looking forward to the next one :)
@@ghostsenpai1093 It's going really well, thank you so much!! :D
We see you, Hiro-san! Surprising us by speaking English like a native like it's nothing!
I was really suprised! Like the accent and all was so good 👁️👄👁️
Didn't expect Hiro-san to speak English that well lol.
ya! pronunciation was A+
He has bean training for soy long!
yea man i was chuckling constantly. so sweet and impressive
@@HenritheHorse nailed it 😂
Well, yamagata people are just the best :D
Seeing those tiny Japanese pickup trucks make me irrationally happy!
Aren’t they cute😭😭😂❤️
Nori's place is so beautiful! I loved the story about the family lanterns. Could quite happily live there.

Mr Lion look I'm a Muslim as well but I don't go around babbling about it so please, don't bring it up in a video like this
I'm Japanese but I've never been to Yamagata and harvested dadacha beans. It looks really fun!!
My twitter follower told me your channel, and I'm learning English by watching your video. Thanks!!
Lol, fogging camera looks like a cool affect for ending.
true :D
like BOB ROSS said....not a mistake just a little happy accident
*effect
Sorry lol
It looks like she added a cloud filter to emphasize the heavenly experience
The fogging lens occurring while Hiro-san left made it seem like he was an angel or something leaving from a dream 😂
"I haven't seen the sunrise in years"
That is sooooo relatable
Lol where I'm from the sun goes up at 8 am (in the winter) so...yeah could see it every day if I wanted to 😅😂

Completely agree! 😂💜
He's definitely handsome for sure!
Ya, I wouldn 't mind living in a farm house.
Ugh I’d love that🥰
Me too, the work is not easy and you are dependent on the weather but for sure rewarding when the harvest comes out right.
You’re so adventurous and outgoing! I have bad social anxiety that I’m working on and you’re very inspirational.
Farming is such hard, under-appreciated work! I can almost smell the cool air of the morning while watching this...makes me want to visit Japan even more than I already do. Arigato gozaimasu , Sharla. 🙂
I'm a total edamame nerd, thanks for showing us the behind the scenes! Awesome stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!! :D
What is an edamame nerd?
Man, I just love watching these types of videos of yours. Thanks for sharing 🙂
My goodness, it’s beautiful there. I’m starting to learn Japanese because of you! ☺️
Oh I started learning Japanese recently too! 🤗 I hope it’s going well for you! 💕☺️
That's awesome! Best of luck :D Ganbatte!!
Sharmeleon thank you! Hopefully I’ll be able to leave a comment in Japanese soon 😁
Becky Alice being a student it actually is going surprisingly well 😂. Thank you and all the best to you too! 🥰
You and Chris from Abroad in Japan really do make the best informative videos of Japan. Please keep up the amazing content!

I love that your content turned more into the rural Japan. I believe it's the best part of the country
I could watch these kinds of videos all day, there is just something fascinating and yet peaceful and comfy about them.
I love your farming videos! So neat to see them harvest the beans 😲
Thank you soooo much for your travel videos! Since we are stuck at home homeschooling your videos help everyone to have a sneak peak into a different life.
This video felt so fresh and green lol😂 🍃🌿🌱
Your videos are so full of feel-good vibes. Love your content 🤗
Sharla your face is so vibrant! I love these videos. seeing how people work and the fresh food :3
Great video Sharla! So informative and interesting. I love these types of videos you make because you always add your personality to it as well!
Aw thank you for the kind words!! 🥺❤️

This was like Living the Ghibli film Only Yesterday in real life, and i adore it!
the lens fogging up made him look like an angel
Respect!! I was so impressed by this. And I absolutely have to stay in this homestay. It had a nice feel to it.
I love these types of videos the most. Great job, Sharla.
Imagine looking as fresh as Sharla 4am in the morning... The place looks really nice, I would like to visit sometime.
Her skincare routine is really paying off.
I'm really impressed by the quality of your videos! The drone shots and interviews were really nice.
This video makes me miss my hometown and my grandparents house! 🥺❤️
This was beautiful! Well worth the wait. :) Thank you Sharla.
Thank you so much Diane!! So glad you enjoyed it💕
This is a really cool video. I was an Ag student so I found the whole process fun to learn about
I love it when you post these kinds of videos! What an amazing experience.
Your videos keep getting better and better! Really interesting to see how they harvest and process the dadachamame. And that location!
Thank you for the video. Love seeing the culture and people that you show us about.🙏✌
That was amazingly beautiful! The mountains, the fields, the sunrise are all stunning!🏞 I also wouldn't mind watching Nori-san cook for me, another lovely sight🤗
What a fantastic video! This is my favorite type of content that you do. Beautifully filmed and edited, with friendly and interesting people. I really enjoyed this.
I literally just watch your old homestay videos on your Sharla in Japan channel and now you’re doing something similar which is funny
農家さん今年も台風気を付けて下さいね！
I love watching these types of videos! Thank you ! 💕
Great video Sharla! The farmer was so friendly and informative and I’m surprised when he knew some English! Was awesome to see the process they go through at the plant too
*drone footage was really nice in the morning wowee*

I love these cultural videos and showcase of every day life in Japan. I hope your side business hustles proves to be a success !
Everything about this video is amazing 🥰 love watching the traditional Japanese experiences because it’s soo different than American life! ☺️
This is pretty great to watch early on Sunday morning.
fantastic video, sharla! i would love to see more like this of behind the scenes for how produce is made in japan! very interesting!
That was a fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! I absolutely loved it!
Easy to follow pace for the video. Felt like I was on the trip and understood the process from harvesting to packaging. Rural life: taihen dai yo ne...
So cool and what beautiful views!
Sharla, love love love these types of videos! So informative, and it expands the world’s knowledge of Japan.
Such beautiful Japanese and interactions showcased, love these types of videos
I'd pay that 850 yen in a heartbeat
Loved this video! Hiro-San was so sweet and his English was so good! Definitely will have to put this as a go to spot the next time I go to Japan ☺️
This was a great video Sharla! Of course homestays are all a bit geared toward visitors but it's a whole different vibe from Tokyo that most would never even be aware of. Thanks for uploading!
We can sympathise - the rain has affected the wheat harvest in the UK.
Its produce as it should be. People know the value of fresh picked produce.

Want to visit there so badly thank you for all you share love the country as opposed to the busy city great great video
This video was quality!! I love learning about old traditions and seeing the beautiful countryside. ^_^
This is one of the best Japan blogs I have seen in a very long time. I had never thought about doing this but it is now on my "must do" list.
Rabid thumbs up
As an Agriculture major in US this is super informative and interesting !
thank you for sharing rural Japan. The countryside is my favourite place. ❤️
What an amazing video! I've started watching a bunch of your videos since you appeared in a few of the Abroad videos. It's nice to see these smaller towns highlighted that may not get much exposure in mainstream media. I'll be adding this town to my list of places to visit. Cheers!
Japanese Culture and Cuisine are so fascinating 🥰❤🙏 loved every thing about this Vlog ❤ ⛩🌄
Thank you, Sharla for always showing so many different ways to experience Japan and get to know the culture better. I would love to try a farm stay in Japan one day! You really are an inspiration 🥰
Ask Chris Broad about the difference between soy beans. He is an expert. They even had him on Japanese tv ;D
It's...jucier...
This is such a cool video. It’s awesome that you’re able to go all throughout Japan and show us SO many different things. This was pleasant af and educational

Literally adding this place to my list of places to go when travel opens up because I love edamame and dadachamame looks so delicious.
You always show such fresh and real content!
I' on 'home office' playing all your recent videos and even though it's raining out, I feel happy. Thank you! 🥰💖
Just the relaxing video I needed in between interviews prep :D And great inspiration for a future trip to Japan too!
Oh yah, I love these vids. Everyone seems so friendly and you know, I wouldn't mind being a farmer if I had neighbors like that.
Natsukashii!! I remember when you went to your first homestay.
You know what! I just realized they actually live really close to where I live now! I’m going to try to visit🥰
Hiros english sounds so good! That surprised me at first tbh :D
Right?! He spent some time overseas when he was younger, I was so amazed that he remembered it so well😳
@@sharlainjapan ahhhh ok, that explains a lot :D
Thanks again for showing off the beautiful Tohoku countryside! Such an underrated part of Japan.
My husband and I grew edamame for the first time this year (Oregon, USA). They turned out well! I steamed them in my rice cooker.
I love these countryside videos! Thanks for doing another one
I really enjoyed learning about the whole edamame growing process, I think you should explore more like this in the area you live - it was fascinating plus the hosts were great too
Hiro's English though!!! He must of lived overseas for some time because he sounded like a native speaker, i was so impressed
This was really really cool! You should do these kinds of documentation more often . This was so interresting. Thank you 🙏
That video was great Sharla! Really fun and interesting :)!! Never realized there were so many types of edamame living outside Japan!
Even for Japanese like me, this video is very informative and beautifully filmed and edited.
I appreciate you introducing Japanese deep culture with great respect!
Thank you so much for coming out to Tsuruoka and promoting this region!!
Thanks so much for inviting me Derek! What a cool experience :D I’ll definitely be back soon! Bet the rice fields are an amazing golden colour right now😍
@@sharlainjapan They are and it looks like a field of gold! The fall colors will also be here soon :)
