Deep Japan: This is a Side of Nara You Have Never Seen!
Book a spot at Kitsune TODAY: https://bit.ly/4aGi0aG
In this episode, Shizuka discovers a quiet side of Nara! With the tourism booming and touristic places becoming overcrowded, sometimes you just want to be alone and enjoy a moment of zen! Well these places in Nara give you just that!
The trip starts by a visit to a quaint little town Oji, famous for its cute mascot Yukimaru. Here you can visit a Daruma temple to learn of its meaning and even paint your own little daruma. The temple has a beautiful garden where one can enjoy freshly whisked matcha while looking at the zen garden.
Shizuka then finds a local hidden gem: Oji ramen! The owner has been making ramen for 40 years and he crafts a bowl of ramen that’s truly remarkable!
Back in Nara’s old town, Shizuka wanders through its alleyways to find a stylish restaurant Kitsune, where you can try some of the most delectable sukiyaki, featuring local wagyu beef..
Enjoy the moment of peace, away from the crowds in Nara!

Anyone know where to get that jacket she is wearing?
Another great video!! Thank you ✌️🇦🇺
As always a great Shizuka vlog !
Big question is did Shizuka get mugged by the deer again ?
I always never skip all the advertisements evendo sometimes there are advertisements that exceed to 5 minutes … To show my love and support to … Ms. Anderson !!!
Such a beautiful lady and all of her contents here ❤️
my next japan trip gonna be off the beaten path. no more touristy place
Now THIS is my speed. Nara is so much more than “Nara Park” and its deer. Thanks for sharing!
I always enjoy all your episodes, I love you Shizuka!
Another wonderful episode. Thank you!
Wow! Those beef dishes look really good!
Everything looks wonderful, I’d like to try it all! ❤
Ramen=Yum!
Camera guy was like: "Hello darkness my old friend. I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creaming.
Left its seeds while I was drooling
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of my stomach….
I am so overwhelmed with your presentations and as a fan of ramen (I love the little shops) you have again enticed my taste buds. The sukiyaki looks so wonderful as well, …thank goodness I had already eaten before viewing this. But it's not going to stop me from thinking of it.
5:20 I think I saw that garden in a dream once, all the food looks so amazing and mouth watering, I want a taste
Just an hour from my home in Japan!!! I look forward to trying some of these dishes next month!!!
They all look great.
But that last place looks Amazing!
Thank you for this. I've been married to my Japanese wife for 20 years with a 16 yr old son and we stop by Nara where she is from. Yes, I know that area by Nara station. It's like walking back in time. Some of the best food on the planet. Keep the travel blog going and we are fans.
Shiiiiiizyyyy bowing front of a deer yaay! No more cuteness available atm for sure
Hi love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️
My country big food blogger Rafsan the chotobahi
Oh weird! For the first time, I could hear Shizuka ca-RUNCHIN' on them enoki! Ha ha.. it actually made it more real and vibrantly delicious!
I absolutely love your channel and you are so pretty butt you need to do an update on your clothing as this is a great way to Market yourself on YouTube I mean absolutely no disrespect but you are your Channel keep up the good work and pump out those videos I have strict confidence in you building your Channel to a million subscribers
Watching this made me wanna learn Japanese and live in Japan: love the energy! …and the food obviously ☺
As someone who has low social energy, this video is much appreciated. Thank you ❤
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸 Nice food tour video🌷
Google Maps doesn’t recognize “Yukimaru Tea House” at all. Can anyone help?
* Found it: Google “Yukimaru-chaya, Japanese Cafe and Oyokodon Specialty Shop”
I dont have a side
I wonder wether this vedio was made by japan goverment support or not
My wife & I are travel agents and watch dozens of videos about places we plan to visit. We want to see if there are interesting sights as well as good food. This video strikes a good balance. Shizuka seems to do her homework and is well prepared. This video features good editing and commentary. Too many food vloggers waste time and footage filming close ups stuffing their face and mugging for the camera. Shizuka thankfully avoids that and instead makes the video more about the place and less about herself. Keep up the good work!
In fact, Deer in the wild should not eat SUGAR COOKIES!
This is the abusive BUSINESS that these people do, to impose on them an unnatural diet from which they become dependent and profit from it!!!!
It is not natural for these animals to eat processed foods! (They don't even pay taxes because there is no receipt)
I was actually giving them three leaves thinking it was healthier and an old Japanese guy appeared out of nowhere and started yelling at me like crazy screaming insults and telling me to leave immediately!!!!
Turn these people down, they are not as nice as they want to appear!!!
Also I noticed that in some restaurants they serve DEER meat (imagine where it comes from)
It's just a HUGE ABUSIVE FARM
I'm really interested in making one of those koroko daruma <3 So cute! Do we have to make reservations with the temple? Is it a free experience? I can't seem to find any info on it on their website:(
"Oh, that's a lot of deer poop" Oh, Shizuka! 🤣 HAHA
And what a beautiful traditional city Nara is!! ✨✨
文化的に豊かで深みのある動画、素晴らしいです！
Way more in depth than the fly by night gaijin first time tourist videos who will never return to Japan.
日本からのお願いです。
海外から沢山の観光に来られるのは景気も良くなりますが
困る事は、物を壊したりゴミをお土産物の中に入れたりするのは辞めて下さい。
日本のような清潔な国を汚すのはマナー違反になります。
守れないなら来ないで下さい。
店主も怒ってます。
この場をお借りしてコメント失礼します。
