Love your Vlog! We are prepairing our 5 week Japan roundtrip for this and your vlogs are perfect for this. We are traveling with our three kids and are also visiting okinawa, kyushu, hiroshima and the typical cities like Tokio, Kyoto and Osaka ♥️
Such an incredible vlog! 🎥✨ Hiroshima is so rich in history and culture-what a whirlwind tour! ⏳ Loved how you managed to capture the peace and beauty of the city despite the rush. 🌸🏯 Definitely adding this to my bucket list! 📝✈ Thanks for sharing! 🙌🇯🇵
This is perfect, I will have pretty much exactly the same amount of time as you had in Hiroshima and was wondering if it was worth it. That looks great, so will add to my plans for May. Thank you!
Hoping to plan a family trip to Japan in the future & your channel will be my go to for planning! Great news on the new Japan sponsored content - congrats!
Thanks again for another great video! Regarding the 2 ferry operators to Miyajima, one is run by JR and was free (certainly back in 2019) as I had a JR pass. The hike up Mt Misen was very nice, as was the view from the top. I took a trip out to Kure as well as they have a museum to the battleship Yamato, along with a 100 ft long 1:10 scale model of the ship.
I just unsubscribed to many channels in an effort to not waste my entire life on UA-cam. 😬 But not yours! 🐒 Your videos not only expand my feeling of connection to the world, your cheeky humor makes me laugh. Thank you! Wishing a very Happy New Year to you and yours! ✨🌿😃🤓🍀💖
Wow, thanks for keeping with us! Yes, 10 videos a year on this channel hopes to not waste peoples time. Something people seemed to have forgotten about
Hello Suitcase monkey Excellent video. Loved the beginning when you inserted your self into shot as talked to us about the video. I have a friend who visited Hiroshima peace museum and he said the same thing about the quietness of the museum. Thanks for the video. Take care Chris and Sandra of Canada.
What about spending 10 hours in Hiroshima? We will be coming in from Okayama, where we are staying. Google says 1 hour train trip. So if arrive by 10:30 am - out of the Peace Memorial museum by noon, and a tour of the a-bomb dome. Probably no time for the castle, which is fine. Then we will take the train or ferry to the Itsukushima Shrine and walk around the area for food and nature. Will NOT be doing any hiking as one of our party has bad knees. Been to enough buddhist shrines during my last trip to Japan not sure if I need to another in Hiroshima. I guess we should aim for the Itsukushima shrine at dusk?
Yeah. Museum and Miyajima. Maybe take the fast ferry to Miyajima as return earlier as you’re restricted to a timetable there and then can finish with the museum and dome knowing how much time you have left before leaving. Good luck!
@@SuitcaseMonkey thanks - seems like the regular ferries run until 8 or 10pm though (depending on the company?) so unless I'm wrong it would make sense to do Hiroshima museums first and Miyajima second since the Hiroshima museums close at 6pm
Happy Belated New Year of 2025, mate! 🎉 Nice Japan travel vlog of Hiroshima and Miyajima as well! They're so beautiful & historic with so much to offer, even those castles 🏰 Thanks for sharing, and I enjoy watching your videos. 👍

Still the gold standard for travel videos, every one of them a gem.

Glad it helped. Yeah definitely worth a trip even if little time
Thanks!
Wow thank you. That’s incredibly kind and thoughtful and much appreciated. 😍
Well done! We were just there for the first time in Nov. and we loved it too. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!
Another great video! Even if I end up not going to Japan, my knowledge of it just got expanded big time..
Knowledge is power 💪
Thank you Suitcase Monkey! Love your videos! Love your tips! Will be using for my spring Japan trip! TY!!!!
Ahh that’s great to hear. You’ll have a great time!
Yes! Great vid, thank you for all your efforts.

We went this year and it was so worth it. We loved it so much we are r trying to go back. It’s also very affordable right now because of conversion.
That’s great to hear, thank you. You’ll have a blast!
Yeah. Especially for food.

Great info thank you!!!
I like the gardens and the food. All I would suggest is getting some capybara scenes in the mix with some Onsen. 🤭
Thanks again for sharing! 👍
Amazing travel video as always!

We will be in Kurashiki for a full day, still planning what to do there besides the old timey canals.

Yeah it’s a powerful experience
Great your back! What do you have planned for this year?
In a couple weeks I’ll be launching a new podcast that I’ll be co hosting. Keep an eye out for it.
