Ha ha! Thanks SE! It was a whirlwind trip. They have Hokkaido locked down now, so we timed it right. Keiji's comment at the end of the video is my highlight 😂 Best till last ha ha
Have been fortunate enough to visit Hokkaido in recent years, when it was snowing. Looking forward to exploring it in the warmer seasons and trying more of the food there, as well. A beautiful family visiting a beautiful part of Japan. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comment, ASiteSeer! The great thing about Hokkaido is that it always feels like an escape. You get away for some snow and ski action or you get away from the summer heat and hike there. I still need another month to explore this 1 prefecture 😅
Dean, I love how you are really present for Keiji, how you engage him to think about what he is seeing and experiencing, and giving him the opportunities to explore the world.
Thanks etherdog. I guess that is my great pleasure, I get to experience the world over again with new sets of eyes. In terms of travel, he's seen more at 7 than I had by 20 I think!
Hokkaido has a lot to offer! Vibrant colors with the flowers and the blue pond. Won't be long before Keiji and Tao are co-hosting together. 😃 I thought that scarecrow was John Daub upon first sight and the ending.🤣 Thank you for showing us Hokkaido. Thumbs up! 👍👍
😂 How can I tag John here! Love that comment 😆 This channel is totally gonna be taken over by the kids in the future! See if they will still let Dad play too ;)
🤣 Everyone has a twin ( I actually do have a twin brother, we're fraternal though) I don't think you can directly tag someone on UA-cam anymore. Maybe try tagging John on Instagram. 😀
Really enjoyed your video. Keiji and Tao are adorable. Keiji has a great personality and is so much fun to watch. Loved all the places you visited and makes me want to be there
Hi Suzette. If you want to go, then I did my job well ha ha. It was lovely to do this with the family and it's nice seeing Keiji grow and enjoy the process in making these videos.
Tao has two little teeth! What a cutie; I think he's going to give you and his mother a run for your money. He's already showing quite a personality! Keiji continues to be a delight and a joy to see. I still marvel at his command of English. Your video showed just enough of places of interest and your two adorable boys, leaving your viewers hungry for more.
Thanks, Kim. High praise indeed. Keiji and Tao will be so used the camera. I didn't start modeling till I was about 20. They will be way ahead of me in what ever they decide to do 😃
Gosh, I just love your videos. Family, adventure, beautiful scenery & experiences - simply lovely! Really enjoy the background music too, such good vibes...
Thanks Janet! We certainly will! I have one hiking with a special guest in Kyoto and one more with the John from Only in Japan, both coming up in the next month or so! 😀
What a great vid! Beautiful adventures and you've got a wonderful young reporter with you already. What a great family. We're big nhk fans from NY (seen you on journeys in Japan and catch Japan) so great to find your UA-cam.
Hi M Miller! Thanks so much for the comment. There will be lots more hopefully going on with NHK World next year, as well as here on UA-cam. We are only small here on UA-cam now, but I have big plans! Kids will help me ha ha
Awesome video yet again! The only thing I have to say is maybe play music or voice over the windy scenes. Also, don't start the video with a super windy scene. It might turn people off of the video because they'll assume the whole video will have bad audio. When in reality it was just the beginning and the rest was wholesome and an overall wonderful experience.
Thanks BloomingFX, very good critique. These latest videos I was trying to film as organic as possible. It's far less 'produced' than the previous series I made. I didn't expect the wind to impact the sound quite that much though 💨 I guess I could have re-ordered stuff but I'll work on my sound OK 😊
You guys made more things in a few days than me in almost a year xD #fukcovid great video and ending is so funny: "big belly" lol

Dean, your kids stole the show !! Great video 🌍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌍
Thank you, Susan! 😊

@@jason_from_canada You might make him mad 😂
@@runAwayJapan 🤔 Is it worth the risk to make him aware of his doppelganger? 🤷♂️🤣

New memories shared! Thank u!
Thanks, Shirlnp! 😍
LOL - That was quite a bonus!
I love that comment. The innocence of children 👶 😂

Thanks Lily! I'm so happy that people seemed to really enjoy this style video. I'll be making lots more 😀
That sushi and ramen look ultra delicious! 😋😋😋
Wish I could find lavender ice cream locally...
Ha ha Wesmond, we would call that 'Zeitaku' in Japan! Which is something like extravagance. Really good food in Hokkaido.
This video was awesome.
Thanks a lot, Joe! 😁
Dean, It's my first time watching your channel. Got to know about him from Only in Japan*Go. Really great! Appreciate what you do😊
Thanks so much, Yurina 😊
Very nice video! Please keep doing more of these!
Thanks Janet! We certainly will! I have one hiking with a special guest in Kyoto and one more with the John from Only in Japan, both coming up in the next month or so! 😀
Fantastic video

Uauuu that blue is gorgeous, im adding Biei to my list :)
Do it Nuno! You'll not be disappointed! The whole area has this really nice vibe. Not like anywhere else in Japan really.
How adorable your boys are! Glad you guys had a fun trip 👍🏼
Thanks Coco! 😀
Beautiful and Heart Warming ♡
Thank you, Tiffany 🙏
