Thank you!😊 That was like taking a trip w/a friend. Oh! I did!😉 I love all your fur babies but, "know" Purin the most. Love, light & blessings.❤ Stay safe.
The cluster of Islands that is Japan is just so remarkable. So many different terrains and seasons all in one place. We get the snowy north with Sharla and now the Pretty south with Mark! :)
HELLO Ur 🐱s look VERY WELL ADJUSTED U LOOK GREAT MARK && THANK U 4 THE WONDERFUL TOUR Can't wait 4 more videos MARK can U take us 2 where U eat or OVERALL Ur grocery store THANK U ❤
Walking alone when you live alone can be boring, it's natural you'll seek the company of your friends. But there's nothing better than walking around alone when you have family, kids, pets...all the noise and responsibilities😃 It's the peace you seek to relax and connect with yourself in such moments.
All the side streets reminded me of the scene in The Cat Returns when Haru was chasing Moota through the city. This is so beautiful, thanks for sharing this and now I'm going to watch The Cat Returns!
Hi Mark, thanks for the video! I love this type of video a lot! The music background was perfect plus I can still hear what’s going on around you while walking. Nice hidden paths you chose! I miss Japan a lot but specially these types of old towns and walk around the neighborhoods. It was so relaxing watching the video, I really enjoyed 💓💓💓💓. Hope to see more soon!
I always enjoy seeing the classic architecture that Japan has to offer. It's so different than what we have in North America. The walk looked peaceful. I'm glad you felt more comfortable!
I love videos like this, where you explore small lanes and little corners of a town away from the main tourist areas. The only thing I wish you had done more of is stop off in the cafes that you came across, and perhaps a ramen shop or two. ❤️🙏🏽
Maybe you should consider doing a livestream whilst walking around. I think that would be less lonely for you and even more fun for us 😊 Thanks for showing us around Mark. It was a very Zen experience
Nice relaxing video to view on a Sunday Morning. I honestly don't know why my parents (born and raised in Yamaguchi-ken) wanted to emigrate to the USA. I have aunties and cousins in Yamaguchi and Hiroshima. 元気でねー
Hey Mark, I really like your style! Not everbody manages to "walk" the camera around and produce a video that is interesting and that needs to be watched till the very end. Looking forward to much more from you!
Aww this means so much! Thank you! I'm getting a gimbal before I do another one though. So many crooked shots, I honestly wasn't happy with most of the shots I took.
@@PurinFriends I used to work in German television for many years, and I've learned: Much about "storytelling with moving pictures" has to do with the pace of the cuts/the story, as well as with the general "feel" of the optical narrative. And I think you're doing brilliantly in these categories!
Oh, wow. Hearing that from a pro really makes me feel better about this video 😅😅 thank you so much! I'm definitely taking people's advice and fitting them in where I can with my upcoming videos~
That was incredible. Finally got to watch the whole video, Mark.. please do more videos like this one. I know it feels simple but there’s soooo much joy for me to just watch a person walk their towns. It’s a way for me to travel when we can’t. You’re opening up the doors for us! Plus seeing actual ordering done in Japanese helps me for when I come visit too on what to expect. (So fast! I need to talk faster)
Yeah, I think when I'm filming alone in new areas, this is the style I'll be adopting! I'm taking everyone's input and considering it when I film next~
Awesome video. I imagine it took quite a lot of work so thank you for sharing it with us. I love content like this, it helps with not being able to travel at the moment!
what a magical little place, soo peaceful and beautiful, surrounded by lots of History and water..really nice tour, Thank you for taking us with you on this trip. Hope you and the kitties are doing well and adjusting to your new life, hopefully making some friends too!
Thanks for taking us around! Can't wait to see more. I couldn't help thinking Sharla has to find a reason to travel here too. She always has a great way of showing off different areas of Japan. Love seeing the cats, but always excited for whatever you want to share too.
Those yummy sweets! I want you and Sharla to try ALL of them. It always is amazing how clean the side streets are. Thanks for your post. (Purin looks very content!)💜🙏🏻
Nice music and sceneries, enjoyed it very much 🤗 ... until around 09:12, I started to have a bit of motion sickness 🤢 (while I was not in a car nor walking around, but just sitting in my room to watch your video).
Hopefully you get more comfortable doing more walks like this and sharing them with us 😊 loved seeing all of the beautiful Japanese architecture. Much love from Arizona ❤️❤️
Wow, it reminds me of those French coastal villages. Very different than other videos I've seen from Japan. I nearly lol when I saw the lone vending machine. It did feel a bit lonely but it was so interesting.
That was a cool shot of the island near the beginning, especially with the bird flying through the shot. Something I hadn't thought about seeing drone shots until now, having to dodge predators while flying them lol
Tomo no Ura was gorgeous! Thank you so much for spreading light on the beauty that is Fukuyama/Hiroshima! I'd definitely recommend checking out Onomichi if you get the chance :) Looking forward to seeing your upcoming videos!!
I went a few years ago and thanks for reminding me of that museum. It wasn't open when I went. The buses took a long time to get there, too. Nice drone shots! Did you get a new drone?
Oh, wow. So you've been! I hope more things are open next time haha. The drone I've had for a couple years now. Finally got some use out of it is all haha.
@@PurinFriends I forgot to say, I did the walk up to the top of the hill to a scenic viewpoint. I like walking up hills but from Sharla's videos I think you're not a huge fan. I had lunch at a nice cafe by docks which I'd go back to if it's still open.
Your town seems very lovely. Something I've noticed as I've watched footage of people walking around various towns in Japan on different UA-cam channels is that the walkways between houses always seem very narrow/tight compared to what I'm used to here in the U.S. It does make me wonder sometimes, if these buildings ever need exterior maintenance or people have large items delivered, things like that where you might expect the need for larger items to get into those spaces, what happens then? Some of the building doorways that you walked past, I was like... hopefully they never need to get any large furniture items delivered down that walkway or into that building door, lol. I'm glad "we" (as the camera) were able to keep your company on your adventures and make it maybe a little more fun that way ^_^
Ahahaha, I have no idea myself. I've never lived in places with narrow walkways, but I'm assuming parking where they can stop and carrying from there! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour~!
Nice drone footage. It looks lovely, plus it’s clean! Korean alleys aren’t clean. I’m craving a peaceful area. Incheon, Korea is becoming too much. I want a quiet town.
If you keep upping the quality of your videos you'll one day surpass Chris and Norm. They had better watch out. Cats and quiet places, I'm in *posts self to Japan*

Wowww it’s sooo pretty! Love all the little side streets. Can’t wait to come visit🙆♀️🌊✨
I can't wait to take you!! Must eat those sweets at that store. :E
@@PurinFriends yusssss
@@sharlainjapan Will you be visiting? I've seen rollercoasters that aren't as steep as some of those street
I really enjoyed seeing what the side streets looked like, the chill music and your commentary. I look forward to more of these!

Cool thank you have a great week 🤘☮️💙🍀😜🤘🦋
Very relaxing and beautiful area. I love the traditional and old vibes.
A very relaxing video! Japan has a very beautiful traditional architecture, it was great to watch, thanks 😊
HELLO Ur 🐱s look VERY WELL ADJUSTED U LOOK GREAT MARK && THANK U 4 THE WONDERFUL TOUR Can't wait 4 more videos MARK can U take us 2 where U eat or OVERALL Ur grocery store THANK U ❤
This is so beautiful 💕 I love the feeling of walking through the back streets in Japan 💗
Yeah, i was walking around thinking, "where does this gooo?"
the cats' reactions to you coming home is so adorable
So, so beautiful. I loved the walk through the spooky cemetery.

Beautiful city and peaceful music. I feel like I just went to a spa :)
This was such a lovely and relaxing day out. Thank you for taking us with you!

good thing you werent alone, we were with you and it was beautiful. thank you
What a beautiful town. Thank you for the tour! I would have loved to grow up in a place like this.
Looking forward to the next tour.
Awesome video! So calming. Thanks for showing us the beautiful area 🙂
I really enjoyed the calm atmosphere of this video and the background music! It's a very nice and pretty area~

Maybe you should consider doing a livestream whilst walking around. I think that would be less lonely for you and even more fun for us 😊 Thanks for showing us around Mark. It was a very Zen experience
Haha. I really considered it, but I needed to get an actual video up. Will consider it for the next place!
Poor Mark, no benches! 😭 I appreciate all the walking around you did, especially the stairs, since it’s really not your thing. ☺️
Now I wanna do a stream walking around the city looking for benches, sitting on them and giving them ratings 😂😂
Putting this down on my to do list.
I love your video! It looks so peaceful and so serene there and the music choices are so perfectly matched to the entire theme of your video 😍😍😍
Thank you! I'm glad you liked ittt!
Nice relaxing video to view on a Sunday Morning. I honestly don't know why my parents (born and raised in Yamaguchi-ken) wanted to emigrate to the USA. I have aunties and cousins in Yamaguchi and Hiroshima. 元気でねー
I love the music style and that town looks so pretty.
very nice, i enjoyed the walk 😀
Thanks for the walk, Mark! It's so pretty there! Looking forward to seeing more
Thank you for taking us with you. Definately on my must in Japan visit list. Take care in this Corona time.

Your video was amazing, just quiet and chill, keep up the good work, I Love it x
Beautiful! Enjoyed your video. Stay safe.
So relaxing! Thanks Mark :)

This was very enjoyable.!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful town and its treats with us! Super relaxing and chill😊
Such a relaxing and peaceful vlog~^ ^ thank you for sharing your travels~~also, the kitties are such a cute welcome party~😍
It's so pretty! I want to go visit next time I go to Japan!
Also, I really love your videos, they are so calming
Aww thank you!
It looks like such a pretty place to live! Stay safe, Mark! 💚
I'm actually around 20 minutes drive away from here, but it's in the same city. It's verrry different where I live
Such a beautiful area!! Seems like hardly anyone was out. Thanks for the tour :)
Thanks for always dropping by~❤️
I like your darker hair! Looks good! 👍🏻 Beautiful video!
I really did miss my dark hair color 😂 thank you
Thank you Mark that was beautiful ☺️
I'm glad you enjoyed it!! I'm probably gonna make this a series especially once I get my gimbal.
What a lovely area! Thank you for showing us around :)

Ahaha, well thanks for sticking around so long! I'm going to order a gimbal before my next walk around so it shouldnt be as bad next time!
Hopefully you get more comfortable doing more walks like this and sharing them with us 😊 loved seeing all of the beautiful Japanese architecture.
Much love from Arizona ❤️❤️
Aww thank you!! Yes, I liked this kind of video. Def wanna do it again.
Such a nice little town! The streets are adorable. Wish you had shown the dessert a bit more tho
Haha, yeah so did I. But the footage after that snippet was me fumbling to get the damned thing on the spoon. It was a disaster
Great video Mark, that’s great you had a good time, hopefully when Sharla gets there you’ll have more fun
Wow, it reminds me of those French coastal villages. Very different than other videos I've seen from Japan. I nearly lol when I saw the lone vending machine. It did feel a bit lonely but it was so interesting.
That was a cool shot of the island near the beginning, especially with the bird flying through the shot. Something I hadn't thought about seeing drone shots until now, having to dodge predators while flying them lol
Yeah, when I saw it getting closer, I honestly thought I would lose over 2 grand that day haha.
Tomo no Ura was gorgeous! Thank you so much for spreading light on the beauty that is Fukuyama/Hiroshima! I'd definitely recommend checking out Onomichi if you get the chance :) Looking forward to seeing your upcoming videos!!
Yess. I forgot that I did go around the time I arrived here, but I wasn't around for very long. I'll try to get some filming done there as well!
@@PurinFriends I'd love to see that! Hope you've been enjoying life in Fukuyama so far!
great video, beautiful scenery - glad ur settling into ur new life man
Hey Mark! Nice walkabout. Nice drone footage at the beginning. Did you ever get disoriented during all the twists and turns?
I got so lost. Haha. I was walking around in circles!
Such a great walk ! Beautiful views ! Thanks for sharing !!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for this video! It's really relaxing and the songs are really well chosen for it! Your new town is really pretty!
Yesss. It was kinda far away from home, but it was def worth it.
This was lovely Mark. What a beautiful place to live. X
I went a few years ago and thanks for reminding me of that museum. It wasn't open when I went. The buses took a long time to get there, too.

Beautiful and serene
Enjoyed wandering with you. You should do this again.
Next time with a gimbal!!! So many skewed shots. I hated it 😂
This was such a nice and chill video, I'm excited to see more of your travels.
Thank you for the adventure!
Sooo pretty, chill and so many machiya house/storefronts!!! Assuming it's a smaller town/city, what's people's reaction when they see you vlogging?
I wasn't talking at all so it wasn't bad! People were kind enough to give me room at times though haha.
Your town seems very lovely. Something I've noticed as I've watched footage of people walking around various towns in Japan on different UA-cam channels is that the walkways between houses always seem very narrow/tight compared to what I'm used to here in the U.S. It does make me wonder sometimes, if these buildings ever need exterior maintenance or people have large items delivered, things like that where you might expect the need for larger items to get into those spaces, what happens then?

Ahahaha, I have no idea myself. I've never lived in places with narrow walkways, but I'm assuming parking where they can stop and carrying from there! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour~!
So peaceful. Why did you move away from Sharla?
Because of a job relocation.
Aww, dammit. Was gonna write an elaborate lie too. 😂😂
Oh i must have missed hearing about the job. I would love to come back to Japan.2014 for only a week was so long ago.
Nice drone footage. It looks lovely, plus it’s clean! Korean alleys aren’t clean. I’m craving a peaceful area. Incheon, Korea is becoming too much. I want a quiet town.
Oh god, Incheon. Spent two weeks there. Was not happy 😂😂
Ooo so pretty! More Vlogs please :)
Yassss
Piano sounds like Phillip Glass
It's from a creator: Juan Sánchez!
@@PurinFriends yes I saw that, but does remind me a little of Phillip Glass
Ahh, gotcha👍
If you keep upping the quality of your videos you'll one day surpass Chris and Norm. They had better watch out.
Cats and quiet places, I'm in *posts self to Japan*
Ahaha. Chris's stuff? Never. He puts soooo much work into his vids, and I don't have the patience 😂
@@PurinFriends Lol, maybe one day. If you ever get the patience.
Beautiful place Mark! Thanks for showing it to us.
