   There's so much to Japan, and each region has its own hidden gems, but some just happen to have more! Can't wait to get back to Chugoku to dive deeper into each prefecture and perhaps make an entire video on Hiroshima since I feel bad it didn't make it in this video.

   You actually visited every little bit of the places that I will cycle to in Shimane, except the Silver Mine. Its a really beautiful prefecture and not many know it

   So glad your lovely Mom was able to join you on this epic episode. What a memorable birthday for her. I read something like only 0.2% of tourists to Japan visit the region. And there really isn’t that much YouTube content that ties it together like you did. By the way, the shrub is a Pittosporum tobira—okay, okay I’m a landscape architect. I’ll specify that species for some of my projects here in Northern California. Another good one Ryan. As always travel safely and I look forward to what’s next!

   Hi Ryan, I've just started trying to make videos as well. And I just wanted to say that you have been a huge inspiration to me. From your passion and ideas to your shooting and editing, I have truly learned a lot from you. Thank you for the amazing videos, and let's all wish for a life with no regrets!

   こんにちは😊
   始めてコメントします。
   私は岡山県に住んでいますし、旅行が好きなので、貴方が訪れた場所はほとんど全て行った事があります。
   でも、いわゆる有名な観光地しか訪問していないなと貴方のビデオを見て思いました。
   次に旅行に行く時には
   時間を多くとり、ゆっくり周りたいと思います。
   次の動画楽しみにしています😊

    The Master has done it again! You keep on elevating your videos and adding to my Japan tour list. Just purchased plane tickets to return to Japan in February, starting at the Sapporo Snow festival and ending on the Izu Peninsula, the latter being inspired by your video 👍 Thanks for sharing your travels with us 🇨🇦

    Every time I watch your videos I’m blown away by how many beautiful places in Japan are overlooked. I need to visit Omori, looks so peaceful and rich in culture. 👏🏼

    堪能しました！
    日本に住んでますが、体調の問題もありこんな旅行は出来ないので、TVで楽しませてもらいました。
    今回は天候に恵まれた日が多かったようで良かったですね。
    次回も楽しみです。

    I always love watching your videos and seeing the beautiful sights of Japan through your lens. I’m so glad I discovered your channel. Every video is beautiful, and I always look forward to the next one. Thank you for sharing these wonderful experiences with us—I really love your content. I love Japan so much.

    BRAVO!! Your videos make me long for Japan as it was my home for 5 years. There is no place like it❤

    @高尾一馬 3か月 ago

    あなたの動画が大好きです。ここ数日拝見させて頂きました
    チャンネル登録もさせてもらいました

    日本の都道府県で何も無い場所はありません。必ず見所が複数あります
    あなたが仰る通り、中国地方（特に山陰）や四国などの大阪より西はもっと注目されても良い観光資源が眠っていると思います
    山口は西の京都と呼ばれた程の栄華を誇った古都ですし、島根や鳥取、岡山北部も尼子氏という大大名が支配していました。
    昔は西の地方ほど栄えていたので、今もその頃の史跡が多く残る町があり日本史好きには興味を強く惹かれる場所です
    このように魅力ある場所を動画としてYoutubeに残して頂きありがとうございます。本来は我々日本人がこうした活動を積極的にすべきなのですが

    Been keen on visiting Izumo Taisha Shrine and the Adachi Museum of Art for a long time, thanks for showing us a few other Chūgoku places worth checking out, Ryan 🙇🏻‍♂
    ( the view of the Seto Ohashi Bridge from the Washuzan observation deck was sensational )

    This is one of my favorite videos of yours. And it is so nice to see your mom again.
    She is a great mom and you have a wonderful relationship with her.
    Especially right after the tragic story of the Alabama boy､who had an argument with her mom and that was the last thing he did with her.
    😞
    Any way Chugoku region has more fascinating places like Fukiya furusato Mura, Chorakuji temple and Onomichi.
    And you missed my favorite creature there, Giant Salamander.
    Also watch “Woman in Dunes” by Teshigahara which was shot in Tottori with a super intriguing story and eye opening visual images.
    Search it on you tube, you can watch now for free.
    Hope your mom will come back, maybe next year, and explore more places with you.

    @KevinPereira-fe2sr 3か月 ago

    Would love to see a video of how you were able to get the van and register it (given Japanese law), how much you spent on the camera gear and how you came up with the idea to record your trip, how do you handle the loneliness (I've solo bike packed so I know how it can get) etc.

    Also bro, I'm sure your mother must be incredibly proud of you! Being able to speak Japanese, accomplished film maker and photographer, etc. Keep it up man!

    I had the chance to visit Hagi last year and it was by far my favorite part during my trip to Japan. Seeing Tokoji, the castle ruins and the castle town filmed and displayed so beautifully was refreshing and brought me back to this wondeful city. You really did it justice! Congrats for such an amazing video!

    The real 中国 could also be a great place to explore! Jokes aside, I hope you get a sponsorship after your visa expired! I still want to see more of your beautiful cinematic vids of Japan!
    PS: where are the underwater photos? 😁

    If you are visiting Akiyoshidai in Yamaguchi, I highly recommend seeing inside the Doukutsu limestone cave. It's incredible!
