So beautiful!
Im not telling anyone to not visit these towns, I just want to point out that the lack of another language for tourists like English, mandarin, etc makes the whole experience frustrating. We can’t experience the tours, museums etc the same way when we dont understand whats being spoken. I mean, by all means – go, but when youre just standing there while someone speaks to the group and your lack of japanese is hindering your understanding, then it really sets in.
Beautiful video always guys! Man, sometimes I dread watching them but in the best way possible – they alway make me want to come back to Japan SO BADLY. I miss it there more than anything.
Was this the boat ride you were dreading? You looked pretty calm! The weather looked nice that day. 😊
Love these types of quaint little towns and beautiful nature in Japan
Happy birthday shinnichi. I forgot to send you message. As far as i can remember your Birthday is around mine. Mine is february 1st. I ve been to Ise before i really liked it there. I ate the best ichigo daifuku there somehow 😂
Such a fun trip to a beautiful place on sunny days. Food just got better and better. Cooking rice over fire must have been so enjoyable. But the dinner and breakfast at the hotel was amazing. I kept stopping the video just to take a long look at the food. Years back I watched a travel show that covered the AMA divers. Fascinating ladies. Would love to have met her. Hello from rainy Oregon US.
Hey friends! This video was filmed in December of last year and was our last big project of the year. Ise turned out to be one of the highlights of last year, and definitely a place that deserves attention.
Make sure to let us know what you think of Ise, and what your favorite moments of the video where. Thanks for watching!!!
What a beautiful place.
I went there 2 years ago when I walk part of the Kumano Kodo.
It had always been my dream to the Temple of Ise. When I prayed and gave thanks for being there the white curtains blew wide apart showing me the full interior courtyard.
Noone knew why I stood there with tears pouring down my face
Wonderful video! Thank you both for taking us along 😁 not many people can emulate your style of educating and entertaining’
Always look forward to your videos! 🤙🏽
As someone who has studied Japanese literature, the Ise shrine is mentioned so many times it's mind-boggling to me that people usually don't go there. Ise and Kyoto are definitely places that are mandatory in my opinion, even more than Tokyo.
I loved this video. I want to visit Ise if I get to Japan. The area looks amazing.
wow i would love to visit there all the awesome things to do and eat wish i had the money to go
"I want to pour sake inside and drink it!" Love it. 😂
3.5k views? This video deserves more! An extraordinary experience , I feel that I am right there with you. A truly 3 dimensional experience of beautiful Ise in Japan.
Thanks!
FABULOUS ❤
And quality editing Boyza!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for sharing enjoy this venture you took us on 😘❤️🤩🥰😍🌹🙏💯🌈
In New Zealand (Aotearoa) we usually eat oysters raw.
I was surprised to see they are almost always cooked in Japan
Oishi. Delisioso. Onolishious. I'm craving for seafood. Mahalo guys.
Aloha and Mahalo from Seattle. Keep it up, Brah😅
Husband would love to visit Japan. What is the best months to visit? We aren't huge on crowds, but this place you both recently visited looks wonderful.❤
I love the color of the drink on the train, beautiful!
Looks great, I can't believe the JR West all area pass does not cover this.
I heard that Japanese people are very rude to fat people. Is that true?
What a beautiful daytrip 😊 I hope you can plan more trips like this as it will lift your spirits when times are tough. Thankyou for sharing, it brings joy to see you enjoying life together and getting out in nature
Thank for covering Mie!
Amazing video! It's always a pleasure watching your videos! I wish I had the chance to visit with my family when I was in Nagoya last year! Alas, time did not permit. Ise is a stunning area! Thank you for taking us along!
Yay!! My mom was from this area and so we always visited Ise Jingu. Thank you for visiting. I have rarely seen other Americans there, I loved seeing the ama.
It looks beautiful! I know the shrine from studies but the town looks great as well. But what is most stunning is the nature! Really want to visit someday.
The pan you cooked the rice in they have something similar for your stove at home. The pots are not cheap but I would love to have one someday. Even just on your stove it would look great.
Hi both, loved this video – the area looks so beautiful and the food so delicious! Loved the history and nature. Has to be on my list for my next visit, was going to go more south so it fits in. 😊
Th views were amazing!
Hi I am a new follower to your page. What wonderful presenters you both are. Very interesting and informative. Giving me great ideas on my first trip to Japan in September. Would you consider doing personal paid tours? Thanks look forward to watching more episodes.
