Welcome to Japan! I'm so happy to see you enjoying your trip here! I was born and grew up here so there were many things I didn't notice because it was just normal for me in this video! I think I will find something like that when I go to Brisbane and I can't wait what the difference is gonna be! Thank you for making such a nice video and I'll enjoy the rest of your videos in Japan😆
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely comment. We had such a wonderful time travelling around Japan because it is so beautiful ❤️ There are so many things we admire about Japanese culture and Japanese history is fascinating too! You have a lot to look forward to….Brisbane is a beautiful city also 😉 It’s also a very walkable city, safe and friendly. We hope you also get to visit the Sunshine Coast which has plenty of beautiful beaches, seafood and ☀️ Thanks for watching our videos 🤗 we can’t wait to return to Japan one day! ❤️
❤that was absolutely lovely 😊. Thankyou both for all the amazing information about Japan. I have always wanted to go to Japan. I loved the bamboo walk. Did it whisper? I used to work with a lovely Japanese girl, Tomoko, she was exactly as you said. Very respectful, honest and clean. I watch alot of UA-cam videos about the tiny water village life. So peaceful 💗. I can't wait to see the rest of your holiday 😊.
Hi Carol 🤗 Japan really is a beautiful country. It was incredible standing in the bamboo forest, we’ve never seen anything like that before…..we didn’t hear them whisper, but we do remember it being very still and quiet. It was a hot day but the bamboo kept us cool 🤗
Lovely to see you in Japan Beth and Paul. . I have a Japanese pen pal that I have been writing to since I was 16 and she was 18. . I am now 70 and she is 72 and we still communicate. She is from Matsuyama and has been to Australia to see me a few years back…a lovely gracious lady. One of her sons has also visited us . We still communicate today and have never missed sending each other a birthday present or Xmas present . Our son went to Japan to visit and stay with her family a few years ago. He had a great time.. Lovely gracious people. Thankyou for sharing. ❤️❤️
Wow, that’s incredible, a life-long pen pal! I (Beth) also had a Japanese pen pal from when I was in Grade 6 at primary school until I was about 18. We also used to write to each other regularly and send little gifts. That’s amazing that you have continued for all these years!!! Wow, that’s a great story and yes, they are such lovely, gracious people ❤️
Hi B&P.. your trip looked fantastic! One to treasure.. hope all is good with you & family? It was bonza sharing your trip… thank so much! Take it easy 👍🏻💞🥰J&C in U.K. xx
Thanks so much Jaclyn and Chris 🤗 We had a great holiday and are currently editing some videos showing some of the places we visited and things we did. We had a wonderful time 🤗
Hi Beth and paul It was nice to watch your tour in Japan. I think Same feeling with your experience when we visited to Japan. I have enjoyed your video. It remind me our tour in sunshine coast 5 years ago to commemorate our 50th anniversary. I and my husband had been in Noosa,mooloolaba, caloundra, coolum beach, and many places for one month. We have enjoyed so much. Mooloolaba beach is our favorite place since then. Kwangsoon from korea.❤
Hi Kwangsoon 🤗 We’re so happy that you are enjoying our videos! Japan is a beautiful country isn’t it? It sounds like you have visited some of the best beaches on the Sunshine Coast. Mooloolaba is our favourite also ❤️
Hi @orangemikan100 🤗 We ❤️ Japan! It’s such a beautiful country, the public transport is excellent and the food is delicious 😋 we will definitely return one day 🇯🇵
Hi Beth and Paul! Welcome to Japan❤ I just came back from my trip of Australia. And was looking for the vlog about Dayboro and just found your vlog! That‘s a nice surprise that you‘re on a trip on Japan😊 I ❤ Australian people because they‘re so kind and friendly. Enjoy your trip and stay safe☺️
Hi Suzuki 🤗 We had the best time in Japan! It’s a very beautiful country! We hope you had a great trip in Australia 😊 We ❤️ Japanese people too because they’re also kind and friendly. We only had two weeks in Japan but managed to travel around and see alot. We can’t wait to return one day!
Beth and Paul, it's wonderful to hear from you again. Japan is one of our favorite places to visit. It's been a while for us, but we may be back for the cherry blossoms next year. We are looking forward to hearing more about your holiday. Best wishes! ❤
Thanks very much for another delightful video.I had the same experience with respect to the people, the culture, and the place on a brief visit to the country in 2016. It would be wonderful to see a follow up video of the your visit that focused on the actual places you visited and the people interactions--if it can be done while protecting the privacy of all the people involved.Just a thought. I look forward to hearing about your next adventure. Best!
Hi @RMK 😊 We’re happy you enjoyed this video and yes, we are currently putting some more footage together. There may not be a lot of scenes where we are interacting closely with the locals, but we’ll do our best with what we’ve got 🤗
I haven't looked at the eye contact from your point of view and I think it is true. Regarding the driving and traffic, if you give way to another car, they will turn on their hazard lights for a few seconds just to say thank you. Most time, when they stop at a stop sign/light at night, they will turn off their headlights but leave their parking lights on so they don't blind the person in front of them or cars from the opposite side of the road. 10:40 did you say in Japanese oishii (delicious)??
Thank you, Beth and Paul, for sharing your Holiday with us. How is your daughter doing ? It was so nice for your daughter to make this family trip happen. Harriet and I have been to Japan several times. You can never see it all. That's why we keep going back. Looking forward to more video from Japan. We miss you guys on UA-cam . Don't stay away too long. Sending you much love ❤ from a Hot and Steamy Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki. P.S. Would you be up for a Zoom Chat ? A time that works for you ?
Hi Harriet and Jim, we’re happy that you enjoyed our take on Japan, it really is an incredible place. Thanks for asking about our daughter. Sarah will be having another surgery very soon followed by further treatments. She is very much our focus right now, but we will do our best to make videos for our viewers when we can ❤️
Hi Beth and Paul. Thank you for sharing your holiday experience with us all. I think this has been added to the bucket list of places to visit. Keep well and travel safe.
Thanks Arthur, we are so impressed with Japan, it’s such a beautiful country. We would definitely recommend that you visit on day and take advantage of their excellent public transport to get around.
Donna and I were really missing your video adventures all these weeks. What a treat to see you back... and what a return! For us, the topic is especially interesting, as our son Michael is about 1/2 way through 3 months in Japan! He is taking a 1/2 time course in Japanese (just for his own interest) and working remotely 1/2 time (by taking a 1/2 time work leave). He explores as much as he can on weekends and is using some of his vacation time. Mostly he gets to the more distant places by bullet trains when available. He also really enjoys the Japanese culture, people, scenery etc. It certainly is hot and humid there right now though... but that is when the course was taking place. Great to see you back, and so extra good that you could be there with the family. Cheers from D&D
Hi David and Donna 🤗🤗 Wow, Michael must be having the best time! We bought a JR pass which gave us unlimited rides on the bullet train and those trains are not only incredibly fast but also impeccably clean and comfortable (and always on time)! That’s great that he can work and take leave on the same trip, we can imagine that he’ll learn a lot of Japanese whilst he’s living there. Say hi from us and tell him that our most-used word was ‘Oishi!’ 😃
@@BethandPaultravel .. and as for your "honest and helpful" comments... he lost his rail pass, so he told the station master at a next station. The station master phoned the station where Michael thought he might have lost it... and you guessed it... it had been turned in, so Michael was able to go back and retrieve it. We are also constantly surprised by the reasonably low prices he reports of so many things there. Right now he is "riding out" some effects of the typhoon.
That’s great to hear about his rail pass 🤗 and yes, we’ve been watching the weather since our return, it looks like the typhoon is bringing plenty of rain with it. We didn’t get any rain when we were there, but it was very hot and humid.
john went there after the bomb was dropped he got a comadation by the ambasder he was in charge of routing out imperial criminals .he went to oshoko he speaks some japanees and trys to teach me some .as you probably know his uncle cyrail clowes was in a battle of milne bay and was part of milne force .he was in charge of it ,but john tells stories of the black hills after the a bomb. sorry for my spelling .
Hi Alison, that’s incredible, John must have some fascinating stories from those times. I hope hé enjoys seeing what a beautiful country Japan is from our videos…..in our next one, we share some of the breathtaking scenery with our viewers ❤️
