What I Think About Solo Travel | NIKKO, JAPAN
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- Nikko is one of the most stunning areas you can visit for only two hours from Tokyo by train.
This place has to offer beautiful waterfalls, lakes, old shrines, etc.
The views are outstanding not only in Autumn but also in Winter.
Five days before this trip, somehow, I felt like making alone time to challenge myself.
Then, I just booked a hotel & train ticket and documented my weekend getaway to this beautiful area.
In this video, I’m going to share what I’ve learned from the two-day trip. Have fun!.

東京からわずか2時間で行ける世界遺産のまち日光。
華厳の滝、中禅寺湖、日光東照宮など美しいスポットが沢山点在しており、紅葉シーズンだけでなく、冬も美しい姿を見せてくれるエリアです。
この旅の5日前、なんとなく一人て旅がしたくなり、ホテルと電車を予約して弾丸で日光へ行ってきました。
この動画では、この二日間の一人旅の中で僕が感じたことを共有します。
是非楽しんでご覧下さい！

■Monthly + Casey Neistat: Filmmaking & Storytelling course
Starting on January 10, I'm taking a 30-day online class to improve my filmmaking and storytelling skills.
The class is taught by the filmmaker & daily vlogger, Casey Neistat.
Actually, I made this film as one of the homework.
It's great to learn the legend's filmmaking and storytelling tips step by step, like finding ideas, shooting, and editing.

Since I summarized this trip in the last part, please watch till the end!🙌
What do you think of solo travel? I'd like to know your perspective, so please let me know in a comment!
Super proud of you, Shukei!
Thanks!🙏✨ I'm so proud of you too!
Being an introvert I mostly travel alone (including to Nikko back in 2012) -it gives me maximum (personal) space and flexibility. But in recent years I have travelled with friends/family for the same reasons you mentioned: to have someone to share your feelings, and the fun/excitement of the trip!
And this is a nicely done video, Shukei! Can I expect for another edition with some drone footage? 🙃
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Glad you’ve been to Nikko! (it sounds before my first visit!!) I’m also an introvert, so I can relate to why you like to travel alone. Both styles are great anyway!
I regret not shooting drone footage that much this time, but your expectation encourages me to use more drone footage in my video, thanks✌
I watched this video while eating my evening noodles and it felt strangely relatable. I wonder why 😁
HAHAHA Glad we were in the same situation! Thanks for checking this video by the way!
Great video ❤loved it 🫰
Great video and song too. Im a flight crew, since I coming to retirement of my flying career I love going on solo trips or sometimes with my wife during layover in places like Japan. I love the drone shots too.
Going to Nikko today. This video is beyond beautiful.
I'd love to go to Nikko sometime! I do like to solo travel because I get to be more contemplative and it's easier to schedule things since it's just me, but I also have way more fun travelling with other people since I'm more willing to go out of my comfort zone when I'm with others.
Yeah, Nikko is always a good place to go! Thanks for sharing your perspective. As you mentioned, traveling with people that I meet for the first time is very challenging but also a good opportunity to get out of my confront zone as well!
Makes me want to travel to Nikko. I went there before my wedding 6 years ago and have wanted to go back ever since. Great video!
Thanks! Oh, glad you've been to Nikko! This place is always incredible, so I hope you will come back here again!✌
英語のガイド、とてもわかりやすかったです。
ずっと観ていたい＆聞いていたい動画でした！
ありがとうございます😊
Saoriさん、ありがとうございます！とても励みになります！！🙏✨
I enjoy your vlog a lot. This one gave me a complete new perspective about solo travel in Japan. I went to Nikko couple of months back with my family and enjoyed the scenic beauty of the place a lot.
Thanks for watching! Glad you've got a new perspective from this video! It sounds you went to Nikko in Autumn? Wonderful!
That frozen waterfall is gorgeous! I’ve never seen anything like it!
Found your Twitter while looking for tourism info for Japan, and I subscribed to your channel instantly - your videos of wanting to explore more obscure (yet just as beautiful) places really resonates with me. The last time I was in Japan was January 2020, but solo travelled in 2017, so I hope to visit again as an individual tourist really soon! In the meantime, I look forward to binge watching the rest of your wonderful videos for inspiration (and commenting for engagement lol) but I just wanted to say I’m really happy I found your channel!
Wow, I'm so grateful that you found mine in such a saturated content era :) Super excited about sharing great content with you and encourage you to revisit Japan! Stay tuned✨
Nice clip. I did enjoy watching it. Look forward to watching more of your non-homework clips to appreciate the beauty of Japan. 😮 I'm sure your vlog video will get better and better.
Thanks for your kind words! Yeah I'll do my best💪🔥
What an amazing scenery! I miss Japan so much. Thank you for sharing…
Thanks for your comment! Glad you like the fantastic scenery of Nikko! I hope Japan's border will reopen soon, and you come back to Japan again✌
Just discovered your channel today, and I must say… NEVER stop your videos. I’ve wanted to visit Japan for a while now, and after discovering your videos, I’m planning to travel there soon. Keep the good work, buddy!!!
Wow, thank you so much for saying that so nicely! You really encourage me to keep creating videos! I hope you can visit Japan once the border opens for tourists! Anyway, thanks a lot, buddy🙏✨
very nice Vlog on Nikko Shukei... i went there in Autumn and it blew my mind on how beautiful the place is... definitely will return one day.. Hope Japan opens the border very soon :)
Thanks for your comment! Yeah, Nikko should be amazingly beautiful in Autum! I hope you try to come in Winter or Sakura season to see the different sides of Nikko next time! I hope so too, let's stay positive✌
Great video, i really like the way you share your experience! thank you for sharing. Im planning to go to Nikko with my bf for the new year holiday. Hope it will be as good as your trip

@@spiritofjapan Glad to hear that! Good luck buddy!👍
Thank for this video. It’s a good guide for me, I’m going with my brother this coming December. My brother never see real snow hopefully it will be plenty of them.
Thanks for your comment! Wow it sounds like a great plan! Hope you and your brother will enjoy Nikko😊
Thank you
Great video, Shukei! I love solo traveling personally, as it is a great way to get to know yourself and really get absorbed in the nature around you. However, I do love traveling with others, too! It's also good to share the experience with someone. Both styles have their advantages!
By the way, that shot of the frozen Kegon Falls was masterful! Loved it. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching this video and for sharing your thoughts, Dale! I do agree that both styles have their advantages, as you mentioned! Yeah, the Kegon falls is well known for seeing Autumn spot, but actually, it's also outstanding in winter! Glad you loved this video🙏✨
great vid bro
Thanks buddy!!
Thanks shukei to show Toshogu shrine Jaibhim🙏
Thanks for your comment! Glad you liked it😊
Love it!!!
Thank you!🙏✨

Thanks for your comment! Glad you loved Nikko! Kegon falls should be beautiful all year round so I definitely recommend it👌
Lol closed at 3:30PM 😅04:02
Yeah, it was too early😅
🥰
Thank you🙌❤️
from Casey Neistat class, good job
Thanks mate! Glad we are in the same class!
Hello! When did you film this? I’m planning to go this december 26-27 and would like to know if snow is thick by then. Thank you
can i use JR Tokyo Wide Pass to explore Nikko-kegon falls-lake chuzenji ?
Great video! I plan to go there in october. What are the drone rules in the area? i saw that you made some shots in the city, but what about the waterfall? Was there a specific permission required to fly there?
Sorry for my late reply! I'd say you need a permission to fly a drone at Kegon falls because it's a private facility. I'd recommend you send an e-mail to the administrator in advance!
@@shukei122 thank you for the reply!
Hi, what month and date did you shoot this?
Thanks for asking! That was the 3rd week of January in 2022!
do you recommend going just for a day trip 1 day to nikko?
Yeah I'm sure it's worth it!
bro, what camera are you using?
I used the LUMIX S5 for this vid!
What month and week was this?
Sorry for my late reply! That was the 3rd week of January in 2022!
