John I personally like to say thank you very much for all your videos I studied Japanese for two years I am 38 years old ever since I was in high school was fascinated and always wanted to go to and live in Japan. Life happens like being single dad for many years before a few years ago meeting my wife and would never change that for anything in the world but anyways my whole point is my health is not so good the with odds looking like they are against me it's not gonna happen with my life, I know you do this for yourself and you also do this for the Japanese people to promote this wonderful country and their culture but also you're doing a lot for people like me and I know I can't be the only one but it's probably going to be the closest thing to me actually experiencing being there in person.

I'm loving these live videos (even though I watch most of them later)! Thank you for sharing your travels and insights into Japan! I'm hoping to visit Japan for the first time hopefully soon! Keep up the great work and enjoy the rest of your journey!
Another fascinating visit and enjoying the time seeing Japan through your eyes. What a wonderful opportunity. Thanks, again, looking forward to sharing the future with you!
The thing that sets you apart from other travel channels is your interactions with the locals. Its good that you can speak their language and always use that to your advantage. I hope you continue to do more travel blog with random interviews with locals. Good luck and keep it up!
The last time I was there (with a school tour), we hiked up Misen. If you're there for a day, and have the time, I'd say it's worth doing. There's a cable car that can take you up and down as well, if you're not up for the hike. I just really loved the hike.
John you have changed my vision for Japan. I can't tell you that how much I and my all friends likes your videos. No doubt you are a very fine presenter. If you need subtitles in Hindi then please let me know. It would be great honour to be a tiny part of your channel. Bless you !
Well, that's it, you've convinced me to visit Hiroshima. Next time I visit Japan I'm going to spend a few days there, it looks stunningly beautiful. I'm also having fun finding where you are (in these videos) on google earth. I managed to find the little park where you camped near Fukuoka IC and the spot where you hitch-hiked from.
John, this is my absolute favorite video of the trip so far. There are so many things I love that I don't even know where to start. First of all, what an absolutely stunning, unbelievably beautiful place Miyajima is. Hiroshima Bay, gleaming & blue... the sweet roaming deer... that stunning 5 story red Pagoda... the concrete structures & statues... the shops, the foods. Unbelievable. I can see why it's so popular, and I now know this would be a MUST see if one visits Japan. I feel like we are getting to know you so much better with these live streams. I love the fact that you just say what's on your mind and then remember it's live... some of my favorite moments and quotes! :-) More than anything else, these videos make me feel like I'm there, exploring along side with you! For someone who very much wants to go to Japan but probably will never get to go, it's magical. Thank you for that. ❤
Really enjoying this channel and your live vlog videos. It's a great way to see the sights you see on your trip. Also, love that we get videos so frequently :)
I'll gonna spend two days in the island and luckily i was able to booked a hostel within the island for a budget price. Can't wait! Though i'm not sure if i could resist feeding the deer.
I love these streams John, you're doing awesome work showing us around Japan. Just when I thought I couldn't be more obsessed with Japan you come along, I mean look at all those Dears!! 😍
Did you get a chance to meet up with your friend? So beautiful. Interesting to watch this episode and compare it to the most recent one, with Kanae and Leo. ❤ Whoa! You have a fan! But back then no you found me cards...yet. 😜
keep up the live videos John, I've watched every video from only in Japan and only in Japan go. these live videos have inspired me to support via patreon.
Haha. You're like me every time I pass by a beer stand especially a craft beer one! I'll buy you one if I ever bump into you on my next visit to Japan! 🍻 Your visit reminded me of my magical visit there.
Hope you had a chance to get on top of Mt.Misen. And you are so right John. If anyone has a chance, they should check out Miyajima Island. One of myself & my buddies top experiences, two years ago, when we were there.
John thank you show us your video I enjoy them I been try keep up on your video but I was in Hospital take care of my new born baby girl. Lord I wish me and my husband and my little baby girl go to Japan one day
If I recall it correctly, there is Starbucks on Miyajima, John (probably opened after you did this walkaround. Edit: yes it opened in November 2017. ) It's out facing the sea, near a local brewery, behind those shops.
Miso Mountain? Could it be Miyamaharagenshirin? It is beautiful with pagoda & cherry trees. Perhaps you could ask someone. Pine trees are nice, it is good to walk on the sandy surface. Totoro sighting was cute.
John what are the stone lanterns called and what is their significance? I'm assuming there is some deeper meaning to them, as I am finding (through your vlogs and episodes of Only in Japan) that the Japanese people have a rich symbolism in so much of what they do. Garden shops here in Florida sell these (made of concrete rather than stone) and I would love to add several but now wonder if it would be appropriate?
Ugh, I wanna gooooo. >.< (That's a lot of tourists, though.) Imma eat all their food! I would also pet all the deer, especially the sleepy ones. Surely they'd like a little eyebrow-cuddle to ease them into dreamland...
NO WAY!!!!! 😢 it’s better if no chains were on the island but I’m not surprised ... Soon the mom and pop shops will compete with chain yakitori, sushi, fast food ...
ONLY in JAPAN * GO I agree it will make it difficult for the local shops. They got one of the best places too. You can find them right before the giant gate as you enter the the shopping street opposite and on your left side. It has 2 floors and top floor has a balcony with great view over the beach and sea. 😂
After seeing this I'm very conflicted if I want to go there. I've never seen such a tourist infested place in Japan before, it looks worse than Kyoto, which I didn't enjoy at all. I guess I'll have to pass.
RichieHendrixx UA-cam won't let me control the quality. The Docomo 4G signal can do 720p but the UA-cam software is very new for mobile live video. Hope it gets better too!

Hope you have at least visited Japan.
I'm really enjoying coming back and rewatching these hitchhiking videos.

stunning image quality and flawless stream, so nice to walk with you, thx from Germany!
I'm so glad those Australians complimented and gave him the credit he deserves
The stream was very smooth! Can't wait to see the camp site. Thanks for showing us around.
ohh wow I have to go here , 5 star place and how cute were those giggling girls loll , and how lucky were those Aussies to be there at the same time !

deslm Hello, i'm planning to hike mt misen this april, how would you rate the difficulty of the hike, like say from a desk employee point of view?
Miyajima.... Nice place. First visited it in 1991. Tame dear, the Floating Torii Gate, and,, the nice cakes .

Thank for the video Hiroshima is a really beautiful place
I love these live videos, I watched most of them last night. I haven't been able to catch any live yet but it's cool seeing more casual videos.

Man this Brings back so much memories from my Japan Trip a few weeks ago
I'll gonna spend two days in the island and luckily i was able to booked a hostel within the island for a budget price. Can't wait! Though i'm not sure if i could resist feeding the deer.
I love these streams John, you're doing awesome work showing us around Japan. Just when I thought I couldn't be more obsessed with Japan you come along, I mean look at all those Dears!! 😍
Best video on that channel so far. I enjoyed that one! Keep it up :)

Did you get a chance to meet up with your friend? So beautiful. Interesting to watch this episode and compare it to the most recent one, with Kanae and Leo. ❤ Whoa! You have a fan! But back then no you found me cards...yet. 😜
The person you took a selfie with spotted you at 25:52.
ash boon his reaction was amazing, he froze and probably said "oh shit, it's him"
ash boon haha that's funny, I would have been the same way most likely lol

Always makes you smile 😂👍

Hope you had a chance to get on top of Mt.Misen.
And you are so right John. If anyone has a chance, they should check out Miyajima Island.
One of myself & my buddies top experiences, two years ago, when we were there.
Stunning place!

At 1:20 i thought the deer would answer😂 the deer said mind your own business 😂
What a beautiful place.

I enjoyed this more than watching you hitch a ride
If I recall it correctly, there is Starbucks on Miyajima, John (probably opened after you did this walkaround. Edit: yes it opened in November 2017. ) It's out facing the sea, near a local brewery, behind those shops.
I've been there this summer
feels....
Miso Mountain? Could it be Miyamaharagenshirin? It is beautiful with pagoda & cherry trees. Perhaps you could ask someone. Pine trees are nice, it is good to walk on the sandy surface. Totoro sighting was cute.

7:09 Wow. What a View
Deer wo mou ippai! xD

I saw a lot of westerners. Don't see that very often.
Oh god that whole sequence at 23:05
John what are the stone lanterns called and what is their significance?

you'll impress the heck out of your viewers if you're able to show them Mitaki temple
Ugh, I wanna gooooo. >.< (That's a lot of tourists, though.) Imma eat all their food! I would also pet all the deer, especially the sleepy ones. Surely they'd like a little eyebrow-cuddle to ease them into dreamland...
7:25 you might have a chance, or close to it at the moment John.....
Was that siren a traffic stop?
+ONLY in JAPAN * GO Miyajima is very Beautiful at night
23:15 LOL
People swim in there?
Hi sir john, may i know what type of camera you're using?
Raymond Halim it's a smartphone. iPhone 7+
Meh Apl oh, the movie is so smooth i thought he may be using some gimbal... so it's iphone 7+
He is. He is using the DJI Osmo. www.dji.com/osmo
Raymond Halim for live streaming, iPhone 7 plus and DJI Osmo mobile
i wish i was there..... 😞
Considering Kit-Kat's are British, Japan make the best flavoured Kit-Kat's hands down.
John why don't you include the drivers who pick you up in the video? And your journey by car?:)
Cnly Chen I think he has think it's going to be in his DVD
+Cnly Chen I ask, many decline. A few are okay. It will be in the DVD of the whole trip :) Chako was in it in Hiroshima!
Starbucks opened on Miyajima now.
NO WAY!!!!! 😢 it’s better if no chains were on the island but I’m not surprised ... Soon the mom and pop shops will compete with chain yakitori, sushi, fast food ...
