Your journey in Okinawa feels so vivid and authentic! The way you soak in the local culture and showcase the true essence of a place is just heartwarming. Your video captures the island’s vibe and spirit so beautifully. It’s not just about the sights, but the vibes, the experiences, and the laughter, that make your vlogs so special. Truly an immersive experience for your viewers. It makes me want to pack my bags and head straight there! 🌴🎎🌺
Okinawa may not have been what you expected, but boy it seemed to be what you needed. Sometimes it's great to throw the "plan" out and experience a new "plan," just like you said. Spontaneity can lead to the best of times and the best of life. This is quite cool--I love how the beginning of this video deviates from your usual type. No formal introduction, just complete chaos right out of the gate and shows the great fun! You made new subs and friends on Mt. Fuji and even more subs and friends in Okinawa! What I really like about the beginning is how you interspersed videos with the two of you talking to us in the morning about the previous night. You found a great way to tell the story. Feels like we are with you reliving it together. (Like the "morning after the party" stories on your Croatia vacation videos--except you were the ones telling the stories of your experience!). I completely agree with you both--best foods are Mexican (or TexMex here in USA), Japanese, and Italian. (Can't think of how to combine Italian and Japanese, though--a parmi with rice? nah! 😂) Erin immediately knew about taco rice, and guess what she's gonna try and make this week! Can't wait! (Thanks for inspiring her!) Your description of Okinawa sounds wonderful--a melting pot of various cultures. You made it sound like a great place! Looking forward to seeing the beach videos soon--I really need those given the constant rain here in Florida of late (so much for the "Sunshine State" moniker this week; I expect, like you, we get "twitchy" when we don't see the sun for 3 or 4 days 🤪) All the best to you both and we'll see you on Sunday. Rob
You're awesome, Phoebe! So natural, honest, true to life in capturing authentic moments during your travels. Thank you for "being yourself" and bringing happiness to those who appreciate your vlogs. Keep doing what you do, how you do and why you do! Regards from cold Canada .....
Thank you for the videos that always make us so happy 🥰 I wish he wore the Okinawa version of aloha shirt 😊 Did you drink the Habu sake? 🤔 Cheers to these two nice people 👩❤️👨❤️🇦🇺❤️🇯🇵
Food and Fun . That's the Okinawa Way . Sound like you had lots of good food and fun like we did. Harriet sang her heart out. Looking forward to those wonderful beaches. Love you dearly❤ Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, VA.
Loved this video. You really captured the vibes you encountered so well. Love an Izakaya in Japan. Went to one in Osaka with a couple of Japanese girl friends of mine... awesome experience. Okinawa definitely on my list for my next visit to Japan
Your perspective of Okinawa was so refreshing and felt so authentic. THANK YOU! I am from Okinawa and haven't been back in years and this is helping me wiht this gap. Gotta go back to okinawa soon!
Honestly, old people, cats and ceramics sounds like my kind of tiiiiime- hehe. My vision of Okinawa is heavily influenced by The Karate kid tbh. But look at you on that karaoke machine- viiibes of Okinawa. Love respectful rowdy times- looks great. James sass is giving me life- sarcasm seems to be his second language. Fibi, you are still not forgiven for hating crème brûlée….maybe Japanese custards are your redemption. The ‘sick transitions’ are giving chaotic vibes and I’m so here for it. The tasty crustacean sounds like the name of a dodgy comic book. That Mexican food looks phenomenal man….those desserts look craaazy… That just of cold brew would be the END of me. And keep going with the holiday feelings… can’t wait for next week❤
I lived next to one of those bars when growing up in oki, unfortunately I was only a teenager, but listening to them on Fridays and Saturdays always sounded soooo fun!
Regarding on 昭和村(sho-wa-mura) and 村(mura) means a villege, but 昭和(sho-wa) is an era in Japan that started in 1926 all the way until 1989. We have many eras based on when/who our emperor is in power, and it'll have the same era name until an emperor decides to step down or passes away typically. Currently, we are in the 令和(reiwa) and 昭和 is 2 eras prior. I think the izakaya you visited is themed 昭和 era, reminiscing a good ol' time. Hope this helps!
This is awesome! I'll be in Okinawa this summer for exploration and hopefully karate training. So many things that I want to squeeze into a short time.
Okinawa looks amazing. Especially the food!! I love how you describe what you thought it would be like it gave me Tell me you’ve watched Karate Kid 2 without telling me you’ve watched Karate Kid 2 😂😂😂😂
OKINAWA!!!!! Just came across your vlog and this Okinawa adventure is the best!! I will betraveling there in May 2024 and will definatly go to the Izakaya adn the coffee place. I'm curious about the market and the food/preperation you had at Mashiki Market, can you give me some idea of the cost? Even the total of what you two enjoyed. I am now a follower.... FOr sure!!!!! What date was this video? Woll it be nice in end of May?
hahaha you're probably gonna hate me but I honestly cannot remember how much we paid for the food! I was so hungover hahaha It was filmed the same month it was published (I think it should be October of November?) I travel so much I lose track of where I was and when (not a bad problem to have haha!)
Konnichiwa! Seems you had an amazing karaoke party. That fish looks perfect, so super fresh. You’re right, Mexican and Japanese are in the top 3 cuisines of the world ❤. Dutch pancakes are actually overrated (yes I’m saying this as a Dutchie), so you didn’t miss out. Arrigato and have a wonderful day 🤙
Hey, Please tell me the name of this song in izakaya!! We are going to okinawa in 2 months, but I can't sleep without knowing which song it is I want to know Lyrics and learn them❤
Why not to move to Japan and build your own village in countryside of Japan with your friends, there are a lot of abandoned Houses there🔵Wanna be a Samurai guy or lady? You can be🔵 High time 🇯🇵🥸
My husband I want to visit there, but I’m on the edge because I’m such a picky eater even in the US. I don’t like seafood so I know I’m going to feel hungry lol
You should go! I don’t eat meat so I never film it but you can get lots of different food, not just seafood. The Japanese do the best food in the world!
I used to love watching all of her videos but I don't want to watch them anymore because he is in a lot of them. There is just something about him I do not like

So happy more travelers going to Okinawa! Been wanting to visit but it's so rare for travelers to visit it. ❤
It's such a fun place! Totally different to anything I'd envisioned
You're awesome, Phoebe! So natural, honest, true to life in capturing authentic moments during your travels. Thank you for "being yourself" and bringing
happiness to those who appreciate your vlogs. Keep doing what you do, how you do and why you do! Regards from cold Canada .....

Thank you so so much :) You're so generous and kind! P x
This was awesome. I love when 2 cultures mix it up with food.
So true!! It was such a fun night out 😻
Food and Fun . That's the Okinawa Way . Sound like you had lots of good food and fun like we did. Harriet sang her heart out. Looking forward to those wonderful beaches. Love you dearly❤
Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, VA.
it really is the Okinawan Way! Such a cool place :D Glad you enjoyed it! P x
I spent 2 1/2 years there as a Marine, lovely place 😀😀😀
Loved this video. You really captured the vibes you encountered so well. Love an Izakaya in Japan. Went to one in Osaka with a couple of Japanese girl friends of mine... awesome experience. Okinawa definitely on my list for my next visit to Japan
So glad you got to have that same experience! The izakaya is so fun :)
Naha looks like a fun place. I will eventually make my way down to Okinawa. Thanks for the fun vlog.
Your perspective of Okinawa was so refreshing and felt so authentic. THANK YOU! I am from Okinawa and haven't been back in years and this is helping me wiht this gap. Gotta go back to okinawa soon!
Oh wow, thank you SO much :) That means the world to me!! Phoebe x
Oh what a night you had!! 😂
A slow and easy, do whatever you want day was exactly what was needed. Loved it all!
Okinawa is such a vibe! ❤
Oh my gosh it was a wild few days :) So much fun!
I would say this makes one want to see Okinawa someday. Good job.
Epic night out !!! Looks like some amazing food there!
It was the best night out! So fun and unexpected 😻 and great to make friends with locals too
I really enjoy your vlogs both of you having lot of fun and enjoying with local people and local people are very honest and friendly.
Thank you so much 😊
Honestly, old people, cats and ceramics sounds like my kind of tiiiiime- hehe.
My vision of Okinawa is heavily influenced by The Karate kid tbh.
But look at you on that karaoke machine- viiibes of Okinawa. Love respectful rowdy times- looks great. James sass is giving me life- sarcasm seems to be his second language.
Fibi, you are still not forgiven for hating crème brûlée….maybe Japanese custards are your redemption.
The ‘sick transitions’ are giving chaotic vibes and I’m so here for it.
The tasty crustacean sounds like the name of a dodgy comic book.
That Mexican food looks phenomenal man….those desserts look craaazy…
That just of cold brew would be the END of me.
And keep going with the holiday feelings… can’t wait for next week❤
the chaos of sick transitions is amazing hahaha :)
I choose Okinawa over Hawaii anytime and I would go back in a hearth beat! Thank you for sharing this!
oooooh! I love to hear it :) Hawaii is high up on my travel wish list at the moment!
Used to make yearly visit to Okinawa before Covid. Really awesome place, very different from mainland Japan.
That sounds like fun. Enjoy your stay in Okinawa.
Thank you :)
Okinawa is next on my list. Enjoyed your video. What month did you travel and what was the weather like?
This month :)
Okinawa looks good. Enjoy 😉
It's so much fun :)

Good! You had good time in Okinawa. Okinawa has unique culture.
The best!
Omiiigawd, I’d love to go to that Fish Market to have all thaaaat foooodddd!
Hahahaha
Taking you up on the hotel recommendation! Looks like fun 🇨🇦
Those were typical Japanese egg puddings that you have bought at vending machine. enjoy it!
Ahhhh okay! They're so good!
Thanks, so is Okinawa worth a visit, anything worth seeing/ activities, perhaps in part 2?
I’m in love with the concrete beauty of Okinawa.
You are so beautiful when you smile ❤
Thanks for watching!
Looks great!
Oof! It's a great time :)

I love watching you talking. That’s not boring. Nice presentation! 😊
Thank you so much 🙂
You killed it again Phoebe. Love your jokes 😅😂😘
THANK YOUUUU hahaha
My FAVORITE seaweed!!!
It is soooo good! 🥰
The roll of the eyes in joy when you were talking about the cold brew made me chuckle haha.
😂😂 pure joy
As always - fascinating. That looks like a heck of a night out! A hangover lasts two days for me now sometimes. Too many birthdays!
Oh gosh it was a CRAZY night out! So much fun to get to have a night like that with all locals :)
This is awesome! I'll be in Okinawa this summer for exploration and hopefully karate training. So many things that I want to squeeze into a short time.
Sounds like you’re gonna have a great time!!
Hi there, good morning from Fraserburgh in Scotland
Hello! Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing I’ll be going to Okinawa next for maybe 2 years. Boy which all this good stuff I might stay little longer lol
Okinawa looks amazing. Especially the food!!
I love how you describe what you thought it would be like it gave me
Tell me you’ve watched Karate Kid 2 without telling me you’ve watched Karate Kid 2 😂😂😂😂
bahahahahah
Omigosh, I want to go have dinner there!! Squid ceviche!

OKINAWA!!!!! Just came across your vlog and this Okinawa adventure is the best!! I will betraveling there in May 2024 and will definatly go to the Izakaya adn the coffee place.

@@travelforphoebe… I’ll be in Japan soon enough… we travel to Ishigaki before Naha.
To much Kanpai!!!! Hahaha!!
Nice video, Phoebe. Should you ever return to Okinawa....come visit the North end of the island. It has a totally different vibe from Naha.
Wow I would absolutely love to! I definitely feel like I missed out on seeing so much :) Less party, more sightseeing next time haha
Hello! Could you tell me what is a name of the place from begining of this video (bar with karaoke I mean)?
It should be shown on screen and in the video description 🙌🏻
Konnichiwa! Seems you had an amazing karaoke party. That fish looks perfect, so super fresh. You’re right, Mexican and Japanese are in the top 3 cuisines of the world ❤. Dutch pancakes are actually overrated (yes I’m saying this as a Dutchie), so you didn’t miss out. Arrigato and have a wonderful day 🤙
Hmm…. I may have to agree with you on Japanese, Mexican, and Italian! Was the 3rd Italian?, 😂 y’all said it so fast!
Hahaha yesssss that’s the top three!
Nice vid. I agree Japanese food is one of the best. I never tried Japanese/Mexican fusion but I have had Peruvian/Japanese and gee,that is divine.
would love to go to that izakaya.❤ looks so much fun do you remember the izakaya's name or address?
I believe I put it on the screen and in the video description 🥰🙌🏻
💙💙💙
Thanks for watching :)
very nice
What a parrrrtyyyyy 😂
It was unreal! So unexpected!
Yes
Travel for Phoebe 🙏❤️ Wow Watching ☺️😁 ❤🙏😂
Thank you!
5:50 That’s coffee flavored pudding
It is sooo delicious!
Hey, Please tell me the name of this song in izakaya!! We are going to okinawa in 2 months, but I can't sleep without knowing which song it is I want to know Lyrics and learn them❤
hahaha I wish I could but I have no idea! You'd need to show this video to a local and ask them :)
you can eat a caramel sauce with pudding.
It's so tasty!
Are you still in Okinawa?
i woek for car rental company😊
Oh that would've been great! No not there at the moment :)
What was the name of the karaoke Place in Naha?
It’s linked in the video description 🙌🏻 second link

Thanks for watching 🫶🏻
Why not to move to Japan and build your own village in countryside of Japan with your friends, there are a lot of abandoned Houses there🔵Wanna be a Samurai guy or lady? You can be🔵 High time 🇯🇵🥸
What is his channel name?
I show it on the screen as well but all his platforms are under @yesjmo
My husband I want to visit there, but I’m on the edge because I’m such a picky eater even in the US. I don’t like seafood so I know I’m going to feel hungry lol
You should go! I don’t eat meat so I never film it but you can get lots of different food, not just seafood. The Japanese do the best food in the world!
Jealous of those pastries!
Blake Lively and you lookalike.

Of course!
I thought you were blake lively 😮
Bad joke.

I used to love watching all of her videos but I don't want to watch them anymore because he is in a lot of them. There is just something about him I do not like
It sounds like you may have missed the the more recent episodes from this year - you should check those out 🥰 it’s just me doing my thing!
New boyfriend?
