Hey Rachel, Just wanted to let you know that those cool rocks you saw are actually super amazing. They are a sedimentary rock strata, which is an awesome way to look at the story of geological time in the area. The reason that they look sideways is due to Japan's ever changing geological structure. A large earthquake or eruption (since you are very close to Mt Ontake an active volcano) put a lot of pressure under the rocks and shot then skyward. :D Beautiful! ....I like rocks.
Every time I see a video like this, I realize how I would probably have to live in Japan for years just to be able to make it to everything I would like to visit/see/experience.
This made me laugh so hard. Inside jokes! I actually used a picture of a squirrel in the forest in my Anki flashcard for 深い ("deep") because of that conversation they had.
There are so many awesome animal places in Japan. And its kind of interesting to think that way back in history the view from the castle was probably all green and rolling hills. I bet that would have been a pretty view too.
My travel guide would be highly dependent upon how much you are okay walking, because tourist places here require IMMENSE AMOUNTS OF WALKING. I just took Heather around for about a week and we walked... I think it was 47 miles (75+ km). And that was just me, since I took breaks, since at times I was like Heather I canNOT WALK ANYMORE. She walked even more. It was a pretty eventful week but uh yeah I think guides are very dependent upon how much people are willing to walk!
There used to be a squirrel at my old house that i fed potato chips on occasion and in return he/she gave me metal objects like nails and screws on my windowsil. That squirrel did this for many years.
I like how Rachel goes from professional and cool vlog narrator to "OHHHMYYGOOSSHTHEYRESOCUUUUUTTTEEEE" as soon as she sees anything cute and adorable and fluffy.
Idk why, but looking at those two squirrels reminded me of that scene from The Sword in the Stone where Arthur turned into a squirrel and a girl squirrel fell in love with him.
I went there about 3ish years ago while I was on exchange in Japan! A friend of mine lived in Gifu (even though we were at the same university in Aichi), so he took me here for a day trip, and we must have gone the wrong time of year because I think we rain into maybe 2 other people while climbing up? It was empty! But having never seen a squirrel in real life before (because there are none in Australia) the village was amazing!
I am always looking forward to you and Jun's videos, they always cheer me up, when I'm feeling down. So thank- you! Seeing the squirrels are so adorable!!! I see a fair few and rabbits near our house, but can never get that close to them as you did. Keep shinning bright you two!
I think that it's so funny that there's a squirrel park in Japan! My whole university in California is basically a squirrel park lol. The squirrels here are waaaay too used to people and will come up begging for food. My friend even had her sandwich snatched from her when she wasn't looking! Very fun video to watch though, I love watching you two visit all the niche little places in Japan.
I wish there was a way to thumbs up this video a thousand times! So very very cool!!! Thank you so much for sharing the cuteness of the squirrels and the awesome views! I can't wait to show this video to my wife! She's just going to get all giddy over it!!!
Oh my gosh cutest video ever!! I love squirrels and this looks like the perfect place to go! They act so much like my gerbils did when they'd grab your hand and pull you closer when you had food for them! So adorable!
Whenever you upload, I get a sense of gratification due to stepping into such a different life of another person. Keep up the great content, been here for a few years and it seems you guys keep out doing yourselves.
i just moved to fukui, japan after watching you guys for so long, and i can't wait for the opportunity to finally check out all of these beautiful spots!!
What a beautiful place and the squirrels are so cute!!! They are more cute than the ones here in the US. They are fluffier. Japan is so beautiful in general. I hope I can go there some day.
My town has squirrel bridges one named nutty narrow and a squirrel statue near the public library also recently found out there's a squirrel festival or celebration that somewhat new
There is another place that has baby kittens and there is like 15 of them in a room, just you and 15 other kittens with like ALOT of toys in a room... all together just you (and jun or Rachel) and a big bunch of kittens just sitting there.
The view from the castle was breathtaking, and it's inside contents was interesting. I would have probably took the rope-way up too. :) My local park has an area where people, usually older men, feed the squirrels. I can say I have done this too, more than a few times and it was nice. My kids really enjoyed it, also. The squirrels would get close enough to sit next to your shoes, or if you were really still, they would sit on the park bench with you. I like to feed them, usually when the trees are in bloom. There is always someone bringing them something, in the morning, most of the time. They never have a shortage. lol Thanks for sharing the video. I really enjoyed it! ^^
Okay... your first Gifu video made me want to visit that place when I go to Japan... SQUIRRELS!!!! OMG!!! I am so making sure I spend time there. I was taken back when you turned and showed the high view. Until then I forgot you went up a mountain side... Breath taking!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! SO DAMN MUCH THAT I AM SO SHARING IT!
Fox Village. Bunny Island. Cat Island (x2--one in the north and one in the south). Deer Park. Wild Horse Peninsula. Monkey Park. Probably more. These are just the ones off the top of my head.
I think it is part of the religion isn't it? About animals having spirits and sort of worshiping or honouring the spirits by feeding animals like this?
I had a wild little red squirrel sit in my hand while eating a piece of bread with peanut butter in a national park in Canada decades ago. It's colour was about the same as Rachel's hair.
That was so fun. My pet rat, Doc, actually was watching the video of the squirrels, and it was particularly fun watching Rachel be surprised by typical rodent behavior such as jumping on your shoulder. I was just laughing at your attempt to get the squirrel off while you still had food in your hand.
British red squirrels are also differently shaped but they're moderately rare after the american ones invaded. Such perfectly cute proportions if you can find them, though.
Has anyone ever told you guys that you remind them of the main characters from the anime Eden of the East? The girl is a redhead who meets a black haired boy, very fitting lol
Question about Jun, is he a full time youtuber, or does he have another job? I thought he did cooking, but I've seen some comments on how he's not a chef
Loved the footage of the gondola lift going up the mountain pass the Japanese Castle. Probably will see that in a upcoming James Bond movie but they'll probably be on top fighting with Jedi laser pen knives.
Ehhhhh I'd rather stick to fully domesticated animals that poo in designated areas and only destroy some of our things instead of all of our things. I had a hamster when I was a kid, too, which was adorable but not super fulfilling as a pet because there wasn't much intelligence in there to interact with. Not sure how much you could bond with a squirrel.
Rachel & Jun's Adventures! Haha makes sense they would totally destroy the house...hmm I wonder if you could use them as paint strippers before painting a wall... Apparently they are super intelligent, well apart from one: My brother was driving down the road, squirrel runs out in front of him and he had to break to not hit it, then it ran back. And he said he saw it do the exact same thing with the car behind! xD Anyway, thanks for the video and wish you all the best. :) Edit: also, eeek! They replied! Hehe
Hello, just clicked on 2 of your videos. Gorgeous videos of the places your visiting. At a park I have gone to, I have the pleasure of feeding the birds and squirrels as well. I wish in the states too they had specific areas like this just for squirrels or Foxs. I would definitely pay for this kind of fun. Looks relaxing as well to see it all. Have fun out their.
oh hi guys
Rachel & Jun's Adventures! Hiiii😁😄❤
Hello. Where is my owl?:
Rachel & Jun's Adventures! hai
Hi!!
You don't upload much anymore :(
I'm watching this and my grandma is peeking over my shoulder, "when is that asian boy going to release a cooking video again?"
hahahahaha
Matthijs Rood I agree with your grandma, I just adore the cooking videos 😄
maybe a curry next? :D
Matthijs Rood me if i was grandma though
Question is, does she watch for the cooking, the asian boy or the cats? :P
Hey Rachel, Just wanted to let you know that those cool rocks you saw are actually super amazing. They are a sedimentary rock strata, which is an awesome way to look at the story of geological time in the area. The reason that they look sideways is due to Japan's ever changing geological structure. A large earthquake or eruption (since you are very close to Mt Ontake an active volcano) put a lot of pressure under the rocks and shot then skyward. :D Beautiful! ....I like rocks.
Oh thanks for the information I learnt something new about rocks
Rachel Kayen thanks for the insight. My city has a lot of those, and i never thought to take a close look. Thanks!
Also, 69 likes. Nice.
When you live in New York and your backyard is basically a squirrel village
Facts lol
Kriya Muzo so true, the squirrels in NYC genuinely do not care lol; I had one jump on my head and just stay there for a solid hour.
Or anywhere in US...lol😂
Better put up a no petting sign
I live in Florida. They're everywhere.
Every time I see a video like this, I realize how I would probably have to live in Japan for years just to be able to make it to everything I would like to visit/see/experience.
The only thing cuter than those squirrels would be Rachel's face of pure happiness as she feeds them.
Japan is so freaking beautiful!!!
Haha love your prophile picture.
Julian Pesantes your profile 😂 we need more people like u
I see you finally made it to THE DEEP FOREST.
Kendall Jennings omg I thought the same thing. 😂
This made me laugh so hard. Inside jokes!
I actually used a picture of a squirrel in the forest in my Anki flashcard for 深い ("deep") because of that conversation they had.
Sign: no petting. Jun: the tail is so fluffy, i wanna touch it. "Pets squirrel"
Naughty Jun. ;)
The little noises Jun made when trying to pet the squirrel was almost as cute as the squirrels themselves!
THERES VILLAGES ABOUT EVERYTHING IN JAPAN I SWEAR TO GOD
@carol: yea that's cause they kill and eat those...
I bet there is a village of villages
+Carolyn
Well cheese louise! Calm down!
Carolyn
Why you so rude
Carolyn Well, you're not supposed to keep them confined.
7:45 I relate to this squirrel, it's truly a magnificent creature.
There are so many awesome animal places in Japan. And its kind of interesting to think that way back in history the view from the castle was probably all green and rolling hills. I bet that would have been a pretty view too.
Japanese squirrels look like tiny weird long tailed groundhogs
The squirrels near my house in America are really small and have a huge gigantic puffy tail.
@Bip Nop true
Awww those squirrels were so cute. I'm sure you had a blast! you should make a 7 day travel guide cause when i go to Japan I'd love your advice :D
My travel guide would be highly dependent upon how much you are okay walking, because tourist places here require IMMENSE AMOUNTS OF WALKING.
I just took Heather around for about a week and we walked... I think it was 47 miles (75+ km). And that was just me, since I took breaks, since at times I was like Heather I canNOT WALK ANYMORE.

"Japan, land of 80 bajillion steps"
Rachel's face at 3:30 is my smile at all the cuteness!
So fun!
I almost cried while watching the squirrel portion, squirrels are my favorite and that was so cute 😍
There used to be a squirrel at my old house that i fed potato chips on occasion and in return he/she gave me metal objects like nails and screws on my windowsil. That squirrel did this for many years.
The squirrels there look different than the ones here. They have a more fluffy and brown look to it.
they also look very different from the red ones we have in germany
No glove, no love!
Letters from Japan this made me laugh really hard
😂😂😂
I like how Rachel goes from professional and cool vlog narrator to "OHHHMYYGOOSSHTHEYRESOCUUUUUTTTEEEE" as soon as she sees anything cute and adorable and fluffy.
I love how excited Rachel gets
I love the pure joy on Rachel's face!
At 0:24 Jun sits perfectly to be pushed in the water, just a thought 😂
Idk why, but looking at those two squirrels reminded me of that scene from The Sword in the Stone where Arthur turned into a squirrel and a girl squirrel fell in love with him.
japan has weird squirrels, like they kind of look like beavers with bushy tails. but they're so cute
The DEEP WOODS look different than I expected. ;) Delightful video!
Rachel Faces when geeking out over cute fluffy animals is what I live For
My sister had a pet squirrel named Dodger. They are mischievous and conniving little rodents, though they are definitely pretty cute.
*Living in Canada* We have so much squirrels here. Japan must really love their Squirrels.
I went there about 3ish years ago while I was on exchange in Japan! A friend of mine lived in Gifu (even though we were at the same university in Aichi), so he took me here for a day trip, and we must have gone the wrong time of year because I think we rain into maybe 2 other people while climbing up?

You guys always have the nicest editing and music!
The sound of the cicadas at the beginning... it took me a moment to recognize the sound, it's first just this indistinguishable rushing noise. Crazy.
I think that it's so funny that there's a squirrel park in Japan! My whole university in California is basically a squirrel park lol. The squirrels here are waaaay too used to people and will come up begging for food. My friend even had her sandwich snatched from her when she wasn't looking!

Thank you so much for sharing the cuteness of the squirrels and the awesome views! I can't wait to show this video to my wife! She's just going to get all giddy over it!!!
Those glasses are adorable lol
Gorgeous path to that castle. Gotta love how beautiful and relaxing those paths are to sites like that, even if they are tiring.
-Me: Time to do some work. -
*Sees Rachel and Jun upload*
...
It's my favorite place and it's placed near my parents house.
So,I'm really happy to see you guys there! I hope you two spend good time there.
If you guys were a dramatic channel the title of the video would have been ATTACKED BY A SQUIRREL AND ALMOST DIED (not clickbait)
But if they were it wouldn't have been anywhere near this great mix of calming and cute, interspersed with moments of excitement.
Cynthia M23 or "Pulled in for the attack!" Ok but how cute was it when that one squirrel pulled her hand closer?
XSemperIdem5 m
Oh my gosh cutest video ever!! I love squirrels and this looks like the perfect place to go! They act so much like my gerbils did when they'd grab your hand and pull you closer when you had food for them! So adorable!
I'm actually kind of afraid of squirrels but they don't look scary here at all. They're so cute! 😍
Whenever you upload, I get a sense of gratification due to stepping into such a different life of another person. Keep up the great content, been here for a few years and it seems you guys keep out doing yourselves.
And now I know where the Japanese got the idea for all the cute Anima animals. Japan is filled with super cute critters!
The music in the back ground of the castle when you are looking at the bow reminded me of the Akatsuki no Yona
Jun is sooo nice, helping Rachel holding her bag while she do the recording 😂😂
i just moved to fukui, japan after watching you guys for so long, and i can't wait for the opportunity to finally check out all of these beautiful spots!!
Those are some strange looking cats.
So friendly! Especially when you have food, which is a major motivator for most animals.
i remember when jun used to say squirrels live in the "deep forests" in japan XD
What a beautiful place and the squirrels are so cute!!! They are more cute than the ones here in the US. They are fluffier. Japan is so beautiful in general. I hope I can go there some day.
Wow that picture quality is amazing
*video quality
My town has squirrel bridges one named nutty narrow and a squirrel statue near the public library also recently found out there's a squirrel festival or celebration that somewhat new
Those squirrels look so different from the ones where I live omg
Nice warm day to vist. The squirrels where cute. Summer day heat. Great video.
There is another place that has baby kittens and there is like 15 of them in a room, just you and 15 other kittens with like ALOT of toys in a room... all together just you (and jun or Rachel) and a big bunch of kittens just sitting there.

I missed you guys 😢😢😢😢 this video makes me happy 👍👍
Okay... your first Gifu video made me want to visit that place when I go to Japan... SQUIRRELS!!!! OMG!!! I am so making sure I spend time there. I was taken back when you turned and showed the high view. Until then I forgot you went up a mountain side... Breath taking!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! SO DAMN MUCH THAT I AM SO SHARING IT!
The weird things I see on the trending tab...I LOVE IT 😍
リスかわいいですね🐿お二人の動画を見てると幸せな気分になります😊
Man I wish to live in Japan.Are there many more attractions like this?
Fox Village.
Bunny Island.
Cat Island (x2--one in the north and one in the south).
Deer Park.
Wild Horse Peninsula.
Monkey Park.
Probably more. These are just the ones off the top of my head.
Rachel & Jun's Adventures! BUNNY ISLAND?! You need to go there for me!!!!!
cloclo Sous le ciel abroad in japan went there, cuteness overload basicaly
Yuki - Chan
Yes
I think it is part of the religion isn't it? About animals having spirits and sort of worshiping or honouring the spirits by feeding animals like this?
Those squirrels are so cute! I sometimes see squirrels in the few pine trees next to my driveway but I've never gotten to feed one before.
OH MY GOD!!!! MY FRIEND OMBLINE IS IN YOUR VIDEO. SHE TALKS ABOUT MEETING YOU GUYS AND HOW IT WAS SO AWESOME TO MEET YOU BOTH!!!!
ugh, just ANOTHER reason to add Japan to my bucket list! Cute animals and gorgeous views!
You can start a Groundhog Village. First one in the world.
I had a wild little red squirrel sit in my hand while eating a piece of bread with peanut butter in a national park in Canada decades ago. It's colour was about the same as Rachel's hair.
Hi guys :) my girlfriend and I love your videos! I hope Haku, Nagi, and Poki are doing well!
Thank you!! :D They're spoiled and happy as ever!
Rachel & Jun's Adventures! That's great! I can't wait to get cats of my own one day that are hopefully as tame as Haku and Nagi!
Andrew Tumang haha not poki? 😂
That was so fun. My pet rat, Doc, actually was watching the video of the squirrels, and it was particularly fun watching Rachel be surprised by typical rodent behavior such as jumping on your shoulder. I was just laughing at your attempt to get the squirrel off while you still had food in your hand.
Your smile was priceless
The stairs to gifu castle are so beautiful 😍
MY GIRL GETTING ON TRENDING IM SO PROUD
Hi Rachel! Hi Jun! I hope everyone is doing well. The squirrels are so cute thank for sharing❤️
Ive missed u guys 💕💕💕
Omg, these little squrills have such good manners, the ones near my old uni just straight up stole food then ran away. Happy to see a new vid!
Jun's in seventh heaven. We all know how much he loves squirrels! :P
I love sitting on my couch eating mochi watching you guys! It's just so fun to see ur amazing adventures!
Now Japan only needs a park with unicorns
so nice to see our future leaders of the world enjoying the wonders of our world. THANK YOU
lol I was like those are squirrels? American squirrels look a little different, took me off guard for a moment.
British red squirrels are also differently shaped but they're moderately rare after the american ones invaded. Such perfectly cute proportions if you can find them, though.
So happy to see you guys back - though didn't expect it to be from the "Deep Forest".
8:03 my spirit animal
that camera u guys use is awesome. you can see them teeny tiny squirrirrielss at unreal detail
Has anyone ever told you guys that you remind them of the main characters from the anime Eden of the East? The girl is a redhead who meets a black haired boy, very fitting lol
The squirrels where I live usually run across the electric lines. Their balance is amazing.
Question about Jun, is he a full time youtuber, or does he have another job? I thought he did cooking, but I've seen some comments on how he's not a chef
Loved the footage of the gondola lift going up the mountain pass the Japanese Castle. Probably will see that in a upcoming James Bond movie but they'll probably be on top fighting with Jedi laser pen knives.
the squirrels are quick enough to catch a praying mantis cool
Aww they're so adorable
🌤 I missed videos like this.
My dear friends, Rachel and Jun! Thank you for your videos- I have to live vicariously through you until I can come to Japan myself!
Wow grey rats for real but so cute. If they would be pets like your cats would either of you want to have one?
Ehhhhh I'd rather stick to fully domesticated animals that poo in designated areas and only destroy some of our things instead of all of our things. I had a hamster when I was a kid, too, which was adorable but not super fulfilling as a pet because there wasn't much intelligence in there to interact with.

Wow those look very different from American squirrels
And UK ones, too.
Beautiful place. I've never heard of a squirrel park before. It's cool something like this exists.
these guys look so different from american squirrels!!
I have got to plan a vacation to Japan, all these places you guys go look fun. I love animal themed places.
man, Japan has some nice shooting ranges
The village was even cuter than I thought it would be!!! All the squirrel personalities
