Very interesting and useful video. The beautiful countryside makes me feel nostalgic for the short time I spent in Japan last year. Thank you Tokyo Kenchan.
You take MUCH better video than I do. (^.^) Very smooth. Nice angles. My night views never look right. (>.<) Yours look very nice. Otsukaresamadeshita.
Thanks!
8:00 The strong tides also helped save England from the Spanish Armada back in the day.
Great video❤
Hi Kenchan
Your video couldn't have come in a better time.
We are just making plans for our September visit to Fukuoka Nagasaki and Hiroshima
Your presentation has a lot of information that can help me
Btw love to see you with a coffee by the hotel room window one of my favourites too
Cheers
Further love that TAMAE station
Your previous video on Hakone motivated me to include it in my trip this fall. I'll be staying a full 3 nights! Thanks for getting people like me away from Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka
You like the off the beaten path stuff like me. Have you ever been to Gattan go rail bike, Moya hills luge ride, or Aomori rice paddy art? Keep up videos 😁🤙🏽
Kenchan your videos are fantastic and you are getting even better shots now! The Kanmon Channel looks incredible and I can't wait to plan a trip to Kyushu and Yamaguchi! That will maybe be trip 4 to Japan though (one day haha)!
Thanks!
Loved this video. Thank you for sharing the temporary travel routes. A must have destination for my next trip to Japan. Arigato Kengo-san!👏🏼💕🥷🌺😎
That is a very nice off the beaten path trip, thank you very much for sharing it with us Kengo. The journey by train and bus looks a bit complicated, I think one needs to be very well prepared for it, especially if you dont speak Japanese. I have been to Hagi in a previous trip and very much enjoyed it.
Another great video Kengo-San! Some great ideas for my next trip, whenever that might be.
Thanks again 👍
amazing!💗
Thank you Ken-san this is a very good video series, I am loving the deep dive into the more out of the way areas of the country. I am looking forward to the next episode about Hagi, a town i got to visit some years ago. I remember enjoying the feel of the town then and have always wanted to return.
Awesome video and great travel information!
Nice to see you promoting some of the lesser-known parts of Japan Kengo san.
I noticed there are some different conventions in the public transport systems in the less populated areas (like showing your ticket to the train driver upon disembarking) that travellers like me might not know about, so your clear explanation is really helpful.
I also have the same down jacket, in orange, and wear it basically every day in winter. So light yet warm!
I’m such a fan of Uniqlo now since discovering your channel 😁
Thank you for showing this!
This is what more tourists in Japan should go for, wonderful sea views in more countryside area! Looking forward to next video!
It’s great that you now doing videos that are not as frequently visited by your average tourist. Since we have already visited a lot of the sites in Kyoto-Osaka and completing our list for Tokyo, we are finding videos like this useful. Also we continue to appreciate your style of informative travel videos. Thank you!
Is there an overview somewhere of lines that are at risk of closure? It's sad the Mine line is KO forever. I took the Kisuki line last winter because it's set to be closed, very beautiful. I'm sad to have missed Miyoshi-Gotsu already. Hope to take this line once the train returns!
Thanks for the video, we have an upcoming trip to Northern Kyushu this July (Sasebo, Beppu, Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki) and we now have an idea how the Shimonoseki area looks like. We are also planning a future trip in the San'in region (Northern Yamaguchi, Matsue and Tottori) and as such are looking forward to your future videos too
Appreciate your tour review of Shimonoseki!! I really want to check it out here for sure now too!! 🤩👍
Decreasing population here too huh!!? Yeah it’s going around Kenchan in the rural areas right now no people or young people especially are leaving for the cities or somewhere else!! Global what’s going on with this im notching the change in America in New Jersey where I live for some time now or even more now!! Very worried too actually about what’s going to happen with this!!
私は英語を勉強中の日本人ですが、kengoさんのように日本を英語で紹介することに憧れます。勉強頑張ります☺️
Thanks!
To Mr. Tokyo Kenchan, thank you re: all videos about Tokyo, etc. I will be there soon to visit …I am very excited.
Kengo-San, thank you for making this video! It bring back memories of when I was on my way to Hiroshima from Kyushu, I stayed several days in Shimonoseki and visited Karato Fish Market, it was so amazing to buy so many delicious sushi and I also had fugu! I really want to go back there!
I enjoyed the history lesson in the video. Thanks for including it!
