    OMG wow! I love the snow and the cultural experiences, I mean food, and the carts under the shinkansen platform blow my mind!

    Man what a fun video! The dynamic subtitles, your Skier Anime Training Arc, Chris's honest opinion about your skiing, and all the snow!...and always a chuckle from any "that's what she said" because I never grew up...

    The little kids reminded of a time we were skiing in Japan. We standing at the top of a run watching the kids go down. Heck they're good. But there was a fenced off hole cliff thing in the middle of the run. One little girl was nonchalantly belting down towards it. All the onlookers around us, mostly Japanese, started going OOOOOOOOOHH!!! louder and louder as she got closer. We all did because we thought a tragedy was unfolding. But this little legend just skidded to a stop just before the fence and turned and looked up the hill at us and shrugged as if to say, What!? 😂
    It is hilariously humiliating to be attacking a black run as if your life depends on it and then see group of 8 year olds just breeze past.
    Winter in Japan is the best even if you're not skiing. Which I think is what you were doing Hannah - not skiing 😂 Kidding! I think I spend almost as much time on my arse in the snow as standing up. 😂

    Gooooodness, adore your vids. You two are so much fun, and adventurous and goofy. The way you put action into your travels as in actually do activities and not just go to the same old same old destinations. Really bring the wonder and joy of japan to your vids, I hope you two have an amazing 2022!

    So good! You 2 having a great time and putting together a great video with good vibes. That place looked like an absolute winter wonderland. Think more travel companies need to be getting you both onboard to showcase the beautiful places in Japan. Even my Japanese partner loved this video and said how beautiful it looked. Well done guys!!

  • @kvasko2
    @kvasko2 2 роки тому +4

    Wow! You really did a great job making this feel like a dream winter trip (+🍓). Also, the epic fall on skis was fun (kudos for feeling comfortable sharing things you might not be good at in your videos!). As always, background music is on point. Those opening shots getting off the train, just masterfully done.

  • @asdfghjjhgf
    @asdfghjjhgf 2 роки тому +2

    This is why Japan is so strong in the Winter Olympics. People in northern part of Japan all learn winter sports such as skiing from childhood. In Niigata, even children as young as five years old can ski.

    @tinal8414 2 роки тому +1

    In a recent video, you comment about being unfamiliar with dressing like and adult. Here, when you back into the snow wall, you reveal the refreshing charm of staying in close touch with the kid within. Long may it remain so. Onya, lassie.
    The new snow coats the world with a refreshing veneer of cleanliness which lifts the spirits - when you're NOT the one doing the shovelling!

I am in the process of buying an Kominka Akiya (old abandoned home) built in the 1920s between Hofu & Shunan City, in a little fishing coastal village. There seems to be a lot of hiking around the area!
