美人妻自慢回？・・嫌いじゃないけど

下田(Ueda)means the rice fields below. 上田(Ueda)above,中田(Nakada)in the middle,山田(Yamada)in the mountain,岡田(Okada)on the hill,and豊田(Toyota) means fertile rice fields. Hehehe
🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
映像見てるだけで穏やかな気持ちになれます。(^_^)
Alan said he smelled fried shrimp, he is so lovely!
You are probably the Youtubers that I have seen walking the most, very inspiring!
The scenery near that shrine is magnificent, and it must be very comfortable to walk there, especially with Alan's sweet mouth accompanying you!
The aquarium in Shimoda Park has a free dolphin show. The locals are so lucky!
Shimoda is such a beautiful town. This time it feels like you took a time machine and traveling back to a nostalgic good age. It’s amazing!
You did a really great job again, thanks a lot for sharing! 👍🥰🙌
The siren sounds similar to the earthquake warning siren, but a part of the announcement I could hear said “Now checking if there is a fire nearby”, so I’m not actually sure what it was for. By the way, I’m enjoying seeing your trip and hoping for safe travels.
OMG! You guys finally made it to Shimoda. Shimoda is my biggest favourite sea-side town in Japan. Shimoda has got both mountains and beautiful beaches. I haven't been there for good 11 years since I moved to the UK. You guys did pretty much the same touristy stuff as I did when I visited Shimoda for the first time (it must have been 26 years ago). Is Part 2 coming up? Where are the beautiful beaches of Shimoda, though? By the way, I don't know whether you guys have tried but there is a decent Indian restaurant around the corner from the station (behind McDonald's).
下田まで来られたんですね。下田はのんびりとしていて私も好きな場所です。
緊急地震速報には驚かれたと思います。私たち日本人でもあの音は怖いんですよ😅これだけ日本を訪れる外国人が増えたら色んな言語でアナウンスしてもらわないと困りますよね💧とりあえず無事に済んだようで良かったです😊
Love the chunky cats haha. What a pretty relaxing looking place. You guys did so much walking! I’m impressed. Pretty flower art you did! Look forward to seeing where you end up next
For us, even an ordinary landscape becomes a picture when you beautiful people are included in the image.😂
Shimoda, very very japanese countryside
how do you know shimoda?
I like how your videos capture nature and local life, unlike what other tourists usually do 🙂
The emergency announcement said "we are checking the fire alarm that went off in a guest room on the 4th floor." (Tadaima yon-kai kyakushitsu kara kasai to no koto nanode kakunin-chuu desu)
Btw, Kasai (火災) or Kaji (火事) means fire, and Jishin (地震) means earthquake. I hope it helps with your kanji learning lol.
You look happier in Japan than in Korea. Is Japan a better country?
1:26 I just found your channel and am three videos in and can’t wait to watch more. Great vibe, cute couple, thank you for sharing your experiences. My family and I will be traveling to Japan on 7/9/24 so Your videos have been really insightful! Congratulations on making it into Google algorithm! Your channel the top suggestion on my feed this morning. 🎉
Not a lot of people around. Do you get up early for filming?

I`m wondering what makes so funny & laughing when you said ”Shimoda”. Michael Jackson often shouted that?
機会がありましたら是非とも上高地に来てください😊✋
絶景と清流に癒され楽しんで頂けましたら幸いです😌✌️
今度は、熱海の温泉♨️旅館、ナイトウォークも楽しみにしてます。
Great vlog. Heading back for our second trip next summer and trying to plan some off the beaten path travels this time.
What was the name of the onsen hotel?
Would you like to visit the British Overseas Territories in the Pacific Ocean?

Спасибо за красивые виды, вы очень приятная пара!🥰
Мы поедем в Симоду на 3 дня в последние дни мая, надеимся увидеть цветение гортензии)
5:40 wow, that white cat is really beautiful for a stray.
