  • Hi! This trip was a really special one for me because it had been exactly 10 years and one month since I first went to Japan on a short exchange trip in high school. We stayed in the town of Nakagawa, near Fukuoka and it was some of the best memories of my life. I was able to meet up with my translator and mentor and spend the day with my host sister which was such a gift! I am excited to go back and visit my true hometown Nakagawa and see the rest of my family, hopefully much sooner than the last 7 year gap we had :') Thanks as always for being a part of this journey with me!

    I really love how you film because it's just a simple POV style so whenever I am watching, it is easy imagine and think what I will be seeing if and when I get to go there one day. As always, thank you for sharing =)

    This reminded me of the Ghibli studio movie Only Yesterday. Have you watched it? It is so brilliant! I highly recommend. It is also about a girl who goes to the countryside and finds that she enjoys life there way more than in Tokyo. 💖💖💖

    This reminds me of my Japan trip in 2016 when i travelled alone. it was one of the BEST experiences i ever had, i even lost 5 kgs just by walking lol. I literally walked every day without a destination. Best Feeling ever!

    I'll never get over the magic of your vlogs, they're absolutely perfect and I love every second of them. I've been to Japan three times and I've come to the realisation that it'll never be enough so thank you for bringing me there a fourth time!

    I love how the old footage from your first trip to Japan, with all the excitement and innocence, led into a present day adventure ♥️ it was a perfect and realistic take on what it's like to return to a place of nostalgia, dealing with some unfortunate weather and planning troubles, but still coming out in the other side feeling grateful and loved 😊 I really hope you'll take us to your Japanese hometown in the future!

    That was so beautiful .What I like with these small towns of Japan is that they still have an air of country side .The concrete and the bill boards blend so well with nature ,there is greenery everywhere.Thank you for ssharing these good vibes with us.

    The opener of this video ripped my heart out. You perfectly encapsulated nostalgia of traveling abroad when you are young and just completely immersed in a new world with zero bias. It's like being in an entire different time and space and the vulnerability is fun and magical. Reminded me of my first out of the country trip to Rome when I was 13. You are such a great story teller!

    I've only watched two of your videos so far, but I really Love the style of your story-telling. Especially all the shots of people, landscape, and small details in your surroundings. It combines to a very immersive story that brings the viewer along on your journey. Very Pro. And the music! Perfect. Gives me a huge Lost In Translation-vibe, which is my favorite movie, and a big reason for my love of Japan. Hope to see much more of this!

    I spent a month studying in Fukuoka this summer and genuinely started to get teary when I saw your footage from Ohori Park! I loved living in this city so much and miss my host family everyday!
