OMG, I'd love to do that! 💕 I love learning and practicing languages just as a hobby, so this sounds super cool and like a lot of fun. I could help you out with German and English subtitles. 🤗
I like how, when you mention chris' name, it comes up as *redacted* in the captioning. And that the scraping sound is CC'd as *scrrrape* and *scrapey scrapey scrape*. Lol. Brilliant.
The real horror was the Ryotaro we met along the way. Love that inn! There's definitely an eerie atmosphere there that I've not found at any other Ryokan in Japan.
It was so much fun travelling with you in your second home "Iwate". I would definitely wanna come back and stay at Tomaya by sending a letter, even though my handwriting is appalling.
I really appreciate you not trying to “force” a ghost sighting for content. You were just honest and informative and didn’t pretend to see anything or fake any footage. Nowadays you can never know what people will do for clicks, but I knew I could rely on you on good honest content. I love your videos, they really make my day❤️🌸
I was happy that it was mostly just spooky at night time and I'd actually go to a haunted hotel just for fun provided it wasn't jumpscare-y. (if someone makes a jumpscare video, I'd watch it but avoid the place it was made in.)
Sharla is such a genuinely classy youtuber. Having a click-baited jump-scare moment in the hotel would have just cheapened the whole experience. It really makes me feel like she respects her viewers' intelligence and that she has a lot of integrity when it comes to showing her real experiences living and travelling in Japan.
Ryotaro is such a lovely person, you both have so warm and kind personalities 🤗 Perfect to watch on a cozy Sunday evening all wrapped up in a blanket, thank you Sharla ❤️
As a paranormal researcher and investigator, I appreciate how genuine and respectful you were with this! Would love some content here and there on how the culture of Japan views the paranormal. It’s soooo different that western culture.
Hahaha I was watching this with the CC on. The *scrapey scrapey scrapey* *scrrraaapppe* while you were making chopsticks was cracking me up, and so did the *ryotaro evil laughs* when he got the ice cream. Iwate looks amazing! Thanks so much to you both!
This story of a haunted hotel reminded me of an experience I had 40 years ago in Shanghai, when I stayed at a place called Rui Jin Guest House (I think nolonger exists now), but I experienced unexplained sounds & disturbances. I always felt it was haunted. Your story about this hotel in Japan made me recall this memory. It was interesting!👻
Your closed caption subtitles are hilarious like *scrapey scrape scraaappeee* and also "This is the room where [REDACTED] and Ryotaro got the footage" 🤣
@ 14:45 - 14:46 there’s a red colored object that floats in near the top left corner of the screen. It kind of looks like a balloon? It helps to put the vid at 0.25 speed
I don’t know if you remember my comment, but I spoke about beginning to study Japanese at university a while back. And now that I am studying Japanese and my year abroad is just next year, your videos are so inspiring to watch. Even when it gets really tough just seeing the things I will be able to experience when I’m there make me feel better. ありがとうございます😭
The hotels in Japan sure are unique, both traditional and Western style, as well as their cuisine. Also, the ghost stories do gives me creeps on it, when listening them at night…
Ryotaro is that one friend you have who's handsome, rich, successful, has been all around the world, knows a lot about food and culture and arts and yet still humble and get excited about learning new things. I aspire to be like Ryotaro when I reach his age.
Sharla gets around in the Jvlog - UA-cam circles and it is one of her best attributes. She has a low "Bacon" number with many of the most well known Tubers and this is due to her years of cultivating relationships with everyone, Ryotaro is just one of the more cosmopolitan. I'm still curious WHEN this was filmed.
A friends family moved into a house where a guy was killed outside and a woman was killed inside the house. I was visiting and went to the ground floor bathroom. When I opened the door. I saw a woman with long black hair whose face I never saw sitting on the toilet. Immediately said I’m sorry and closed the door. And realized I had already passed his daughter who is the only female in the house going to the bathroom. So I have seen one. And I also lived in an apartment where someone had hung himself. And was essentially attacked by something pushing the corner of the bed near my head down and feeling like someone heavy sat on my chest. Escalating to my moving out.
@@lizasissi6752 I was fully awake at the times it happened. Both the movement of the bed. As well being sat on.both of which increased in intensity over time.
Maybe I am overthinking but at 14:45 look behind Ryotaro's head to the top left. What is that red thing that is floating in to the frame? It looks like a balloon, was there a balloon there?
0:34 Ooo...good to know. I'll do that when travel opens up (🤞🏼hopefully soon). So glad that Suica/Pasmo are good for 10 years (dunno how much is left on my card). Thanks for these vids. My To Do list is overflowing with all the great ideas you, Rissotoro and Chris have shared.
I feel like I've said this on all your videos recently, but one of my favorite things is waking up to a UA-cam notification from your channel. Eating my breakfast while watching a new video of yours in the morning evokes a feeling of happiness and contentment that can't be replicated!!!
I'm so glad to see these bigger trips making a comeback, letting us see the amazing stuff Japan has that we never would've seen without your videos! Thank you for sharing all of these little secrets with us!
To get the orbs I would think you need the camera flash. It's usually just dust reflecting the light. Though with newer model phones and their night-enhanced camera they take such good night photos that flash isn't always needed. Its probably less likely to capture orbs for that reason too.
Loved this vid! Ghost sightings are not very common, so I’m glad you filmed this naturally :) The best part of paranormal vids is learning about the history about the location or building. That’s what sets the mood, and if you find other people that have experienced it, you can interview them or share their stories. Hope you can do more of this! 💜 Maybe one day you’ll capture something interesting 🧐
What is more spooky, searching for ghosts in the hotel or Ryotaro running off to leave you alone with your thoughts? Also that senbei place looks so dangerous. I would want to try and buy all the senbei! Do you know if the cplum chopstick place ships to the U.S.? I clicked on the link and it is all in Japanese which leads me to think their shipping may only be domestic.
Making your own chopsticks seemed like a relaxing & fun thing to try. I'm curious, what should a foreigner who doesn't speak Japanese expect in terms of communicating when traveling to places like Iwate? This is exactly the sort of place I'd love to visit when I finally travel to Japan.
You’ve made me want to check my chopsticks to see what shape their in. I enjoyed your video. The hotel looks interesting. I live in Louisiana and we are known for plenty of ghosts especially New Orleans. It looked rather peaceful and would prefer seeing a ghost in that environment instead of one in a scary location.
This was so fun! I would love to stay at this Ryokan; even if it’s a little creepy, I like that the spirit seems sweet and happy and has positive connotations.
It's like a tradition now.. Chris was brought by someone else to the haunted inn, chris brings Ryotaro, Ryotaro brings Sharla.. now Sharla has to bring someone else, maybe Emma?
Making your own chopsticks is such a fun idea! Although I did think you were going to make them from scratch, and I would be so nervous doing that when they’re made of that fancy slow-growing tree! Lol! It’s great that you just had to finish them up. What a beautiful souvenir 😌
I love your videos! So chillaxing! Edit: My ex was n2 ghost stuff. I was a skeptic. Thought interesting hobby. Bought evp recorder and other gear. First place found ghosts, disembodied voices, got pictures of shadow ppl. Ended my ghost hunting after finding my first ghosts.
Damn, the Shinkansen ticket from using Pasmo is really convenient!!! I love that. Although I was always using Rail Rail Pass when I always travel to Japan since I stay a good week mostly so that was convenient everytime. But if I stay longer, I guess getting using the Pasmo is really really convenient too especially if you're staying an extra few days.
There's definitely more people than just that little boy in this inn. You just can feel it thru the footage it's incredible. As a medium, I really want to go there once i'm done moving to Tokyo.
I lived in a city with constant human habitation since the Bronze Age that has multiple locations included on those 'most haunted in the world' type lists, and I never experienced a hint of anything supernatural. I've walked through some of those supposedly super haunted sites while on misty 3AM walks and nothing happened. Not even a spooky feeling once in the six years I was there. 😭 I've traveled to other ancient places and never encountered anything. I wish I could believe but oh well; I probably wouldn't capture any orbs either. 🙃 Lovely vlog, as always!
When I was in japan I was walking home around 3am through a market in Asakusa, and I heard a person singing. It was so humid and the air was non-existent. I walked toward a what I thought was a public garden. The singing was coming from there and it was loud. I was actually worried, it sounded like a young woman. So I called out and went in, when I walked to a boulder it stopped suddenly. I was in a monk cemetery, at least I think that's what it was. I left immediately and as I did all the windchimes in the area rang out, but there was no wind still. it was like somebody had toyed with them with their fingers. It really freaked me out.
Ah just what I needed, a nice Sharla video to distract me from everything going sideways at the moment. Love your videos, they genuinely cheer me up in times like these!
this video is so interesting! you are so very brave! :) i have to say, i'm really thankful for this video on this morning. i've been seriously wanting to travel and even just go on road trips, but it has always been such a pleasure that you continue to film a piece of your world for us to watch!! thank you so much, sharla and ryotaro, too!
I always have ghost/spirit sightings. Actually where I live at has a spirit/ghosts. They are friendly (an older man and a young boy) and both me & the family just assume they were settlers or pioneers of some sort as the area I live in was mostly wooded, distant land untouched up until 1990 when they started to section out the land for road accessibility. I looked up our history on the land and can trace our area back to the 1800s to a german family who was trying to farm the land.
@@bree5666 I had experiences in the past with spirits/ghosts but as for the ones in my house they just appear at random times when they decide to appear. Nothing gets moved and they don't bother us. The man is an older tall man about 30+ and from what I can tell wears outer wear. The boy is about 5 to 8 years old. He shows up most often during the day. We have a island in the kitchen and he hides under the part where it hangs over when I'm cooking. My grandmothers house is different lol She has a bad spirit in her house. That spirit knocks on the closet door (they have it locked because of the spirit) and the younger kids can claim to hear him say "open the door" or "let me out." Before the door was locked, things would be moved and would be "thrown" out of nowhere. They have been hit before which made them seal the door but it only made the spirit more upset. Needless to say, my grandmother doesn't allow us stay the night.
I'm really interested in how people acclimatize to different temperatures. As a Canadian who moved to Japan, you seem to be freezing at 3 degrees Celsius. As a Zimbabwean who moved to Canada, It's not freezing until you start to hit -15. My friend who lives near Calgary was laughing when it hit -30 in Ontario. She was like that's shorts weather.
It depends on the type of cold too! I'm from Calgary and -30°C is cold but it's a dry cold so as long as you are bundled up it's fine. When I visit Toronto or Vancouver it's more humid, so when it gets below 0°C it's a wet cold that just chills your bones! To me it can feel more cold than Calgary.
Wow! I've been into ghosts since I was really little, but I've never heard of people considering them a blessing! It's always scary, demonic, tragic, or something along those lines. I'm definitely going to look more into that! And what a beautiful place, too, I would love to visit one day.
Over your shoulder at 12:10 in … the person viewing this video with me wants to know if there was a guest seated in the adjacent room chair? Or was it the ghost? 😬 Ebie Jeebies 😆
Is there anything that Pasmo Cannot do?.. Such a marvelously simple idea and so very useful piece of kit for us when we last traveled in and around Tokyo. I wish we had them here. I suppose that one way to gain some insight into the kind of person who would be wishing to visit your home would be to study their handwritten letter asking for a reservation.
You asked so I'll reply. I am not sure if I believe in ghosts. My extreme disbelief and somewhat irritation in my Aunt saying she feels ghosts, hears them, and sees them (after I caught her lying a few times) makes me feel like I don't believe in them, but my openness about some stories and my love for hearing the stories, makes me feel like I have a possible belief in ghosts. I mean, it is possible because I am not all knowing. I might just be a type of agnostic for ghosts.
While you both were going through the notebook I noticed something in the bottom right corner floating by like dust two different times haha. It was fun to watch this video but I'm glad I did it during the day! And everything looked so yummy that you ate
Loving the spooky content. I'm always down for some ghost hunting. I also appreciate the honesty and how natural this felt. Happy to see you guys are doing well! ❤️❤️❤️
Seeing the positive impressions of spirits after having been reminded of a facebook group I'm in from years ago (about a not-so-good-stories asylum from my hometown) actually brought me a feeling of peace. And I can't get over how comforting that restaurant looked. And I need that senbei. ☺
OMG Peanut and APPLE?! I have a mighty need!!! Are these types of senbei only available in Iwate? I live closer to Tokyo! T.T Thank you for bringing us along on your trip and as always, it was so fun to watch!
4:34 I'm not sure if I'm right but this area seems pretty chilly; the air seems heavy 4:56 Those two dolls have strange vibes as well; as if they're alive. Didn't sense anything from the birds though
I don't believe in spirits or anything like that, but I would still love to stay at a place like that. It seems like a cool place, and I like to think that I have an open mind if I was confronted with something that would suggest and other-worldly explanation.
the part where the owner talks about triangle or hexagon shaped chopsticks makes so much sense! I'm going to find some hexagon chopsticks now since mine is square :S The haunted inn looks like a fun experience. Thanks for sharing! The photos with the orbs are taken with a regular old camera with developed film, not a smartphone camera though.
did not expect the Teen Girl Squad jingle but I am absolutely here for it ETA: the hotels, scenery, etc looked beautifully eerie, but cozy, too, and I really wanna taste the sesame+white chocolate snack. thanks for sharing!
There’s a guy in the background @12:10 who gave me a little fright 🙈 Iwate seems incredible, and those ryokan have great stories/personality to them. Thanks for sharing!
@@jamesfry8983 i woke up from the only nightmare ive ever had where i could feel the assualt on my physical body, in my dream a demonic woman was getting ready to kill me and i felt something really horrible happening to my actual body and struggled to wake up. i manage to wake up and instantly sit up and notice a centipede right next to me, i have never killed one before but i instinctively squished that little jerk ]:
I stayed there in July of 2019. My fiend and I both brought some toys for the little spirit and placed them in the toconoma in the main room. We also left some toys in the room that the spirit could play with. We didn’t see any orbs, but several times, the little toy cars we had on the table in the room would start to move in their own. Since it was in July, the staff also took us in a tour to a nearby field that had a small creek running though it. We saw hundreds of lightning bugs dancing through the night sky. It was a wonderful experience! Sorry that you didn’t get to see or experience anything.

Some people say orbs are Angels. So I do not fear them.
The real horror was the Ryotaro we met along the way.
Love that inn! There's definitely an eerie atmosphere there that I've not found at any other Ryokan in Japan.
Your name is **REDACTED** In the subtitles
Ryotoro seems to be a rent boy to Japanese gaijin youtubers.
@@delloda bit harsh 😂
It was so much fun travelling with you in your second home "Iwate".
I would definitely wanna come back and stay at Tomaya by sending a letter, even though my handwriting is appalling.
Why does she keep saying your name wrong? It's like she cant even pronounce 'Risottoro'.
So I'm guessing they also send you a booking confirmation by snail mail?
It's so funny how Ryotaro is trying so hard to emulate Chris's sarcastic, self deprecating sense of humour but it doesn't quite come across 😂
Ryotaro normally: Pleasant, fun, a joy to adventure with.
Ryotaro with Chris: NEMESIS.
*Rissotaro with Chris 😉😆
I really appreciate you not trying to “force” a ghost sighting for content. You were just honest and informative and didn’t pretend to see anything or fake any footage. Nowadays you can never know what people will do for clicks, but I knew I could rely on you on good honest content. I love your videos, they really make my day❤️🌸
?? How would she have done that?
@@malcolmdrake6137 alot of UA-camrs fake haunted encounters, it's most of what you see these days🤷♀️
@@malcolmdrake6137 watch ghost compilations on sir spooks or nuke top 5. All the Japanese ones are fake, but seemless

Which is why she has less views than other Japan vloggers, sadly. The average viewer is probably not worthy of such respect lol.
I really enjoy her videos. Very informative too. I really would love to go to Japan one day . Not sure if Japan is open to outsiders
Ryotaro is such a lovely person, you both have so warm and kind personalities 🤗 Perfect to watch on a cozy Sunday evening all wrapped up in a blanket, thank you Sharla ❤️
I'm literally wrapped up in a blanket with my cat Julie on my lap thinking exactly the same thing - great minds think alike 😁💖
The way you just casually mention earthquakes never fails to amuse me, its like oh its nothing, just a small inconvenience
That's how it is in California too.
@@lainiwakura1776 we go on Twitter if we're in doubt about it having been an earthquake or heavy truck that drove by 😅
Yep same way in California too

That’s pretty cool they accommodate ghost hunting. I wonder if anything is easier to capture with night vision though.
I always have ghost/spirit sightings. Actually where I live at has a spirit/ghosts. They are friendly (an older man and a young boy) and both me & the family just assume they were settlers or pioneers of some sort as the area I live in was mostly wooded, distant land untouched up until 1990 when they started to section out the land for road accessibility. I looked up our history on the land and can trace our area back to the 1800s to a german family who was trying to farm the land.
interesting! how can you tell they are friendly?
@@bree5666 I had experiences in the past with spirits/ghosts but as for the ones in my house they just appear at random times when they decide to appear. Nothing gets moved and they don't bother us. The man is an older tall man about 30+ and from what I can tell wears outer wear. The boy is about 5 to 8 years old. He shows up most often during the day. We have a island in the kitchen and he hides under the part where it hangs over when I'm cooking.
My grandmothers house is different lol She has a bad spirit in her house. That spirit knocks on the closet door (they have it locked because of the spirit) and the younger kids can claim to hear him say "open the door" or "let me out." Before the door was locked, things would be moved and would be "thrown" out of nowhere. They have been hit before which made them seal the door but it only made the spirit more upset. Needless to say, my grandmother doesn't allow us stay the night.
@@tsumibatsuegoist Have you guys ever thought about having a proper medium or witch do a cleansing in your grandmothers house?
I'm really interested in how people acclimatize to different temperatures. As a Canadian who moved to Japan, you seem to be freezing at 3 degrees Celsius. As a Zimbabwean who moved to Canada, It's not freezing until you start to hit -15. My friend who lives near Calgary was laughing when it hit -30 in Ontario. She was like that's shorts weather.
It depends on the type of cold too! I'm from Calgary and -30°C is cold but it's a dry cold so as long as you are bundled up it's fine. When I visit Toronto or Vancouver it's more humid, so when it gets below 0°C it's a wet cold that just chills your bones! To me it can feel more cold than Calgary.
@@suigetsushark wtf -30 is enough to warrant an extreme cold warning! Wtf about it is fine? It is so easy to suffer frostbite in mere minutes!
Wow! I've been into ghosts since I was really little, but I've never heard of people considering them a blessing! It's always scary, demonic, tragic, or something along those lines. I'm definitely going to look more into that! And what a beautiful place, too, I would love to visit one day.
This is the first time I realized Chris has been mispronouncing Ryotaro's name the entire time.
Over your shoulder at 12:10 in … the person viewing this video with me wants to know if there was a guest seated in the adjacent room chair? Or was it the ghost?
😬 Ebie Jeebies 😆
Always enjoy watching your adventures💕
. I don’t believe in hauntings/spirits but it’s fun to learn about it.
Is there anything that Pasmo Cannot do?.. Such a marvelously simple idea and so very useful piece of kit for us when we last traveled in and around Tokyo. I wish we had them here.
I suppose that one way to gain some insight into the kind of person who would be wishing to visit your home would be to study their handwritten letter asking for a reservation.
You asked so I'll reply. I am not sure if I believe in ghosts. My extreme disbelief and somewhat irritation in my Aunt saying she feels ghosts, hears them, and sees them (after I caught her lying a few times) makes me feel like I don't believe in them, but my openness about some stories and my love for hearing the stories, makes me feel like I have a possible belief in ghosts. I mean, it is possible because I am not all knowing. I might just be a type of agnostic for ghosts.
While you both were going through the notebook I noticed something in the bottom right corner floating by like dust two different times haha. It was fun to watch this video but I'm glad I did it during the day! And everything looked so yummy that you ate
Loving the spooky content. I'm always down for some ghost hunting. I also appreciate the honesty and how natural this felt. Happy to see you guys are doing well! ❤️❤️❤️
I have CC on and when your sanding the chopsticks the captions say “ scrapey , scrapey, scrapey, scrape” lol
Lipovitan is my go to as well :D
I've heard of the haunted ryokan, I definitely want to go check it out someday and do my own ghost hunting :D
I’ll join you! Must find the spirit and get rich😂😂
I don't believe in spirits, but I would love to stay and be proven wrong.
Seeing the positive impressions of spirits after having been reminded of a facebook group I'm in from years ago (about a not-so-good-stories asylum from my hometown) actually brought me a feeling of peace. And I can't get over how comforting that restaurant looked.
And I need that senbei. ☺
Yeah, i do have everyday spirits around, so of course it is a daily thing
OMG Peanut and APPLE?! I have a mighty need!!! Are these types of senbei only available in Iwate? I live closer to Tokyo! T.T Thank you for bringing us along on your trip and as always, it was so fun to watch!
You can order them online! I got some from Amazon😍 search for 南部せんべい
Ryotaro got processed and became a gentleman but they took away his superior Queen's Englsihy accent 😱.
Oh boy, oh boy!!! My morning off and a new video. Thank you for a relaxing morning. 😌
Real life Phasmophobia gameplay :U Hehe. Great vid, Shar!
Such a relaxing chill vlog (minus the creepy inn 😂). Love your filming style and your vlogs! Thanks for sharing 💖
4:34 I'm not sure if I'm right but this area seems pretty chilly; the air seems heavy
4:56 Those two dolls have strange vibes as well; as if they're alive. Didn't sense anything from the birds though
I don't believe in spirits or anything like that, but I would still love to stay at a place like that. It seems like a cool place, and I like to think that I have an open mind if I was confronted with something that would suggest and other-worldly explanation.
14:57 if you look closely, you can spot Shia LaBeouf, lurking in the dark
look forward u vids thx u from california one luv wish i was eating that amazing food as well!
the part where the owner talks about triangle or hexagon shaped chopsticks makes so much sense! I'm going to find some hexagon chopsticks now since mine is square :S The haunted inn looks like a fun experience. Thanks for sharing! The photos with the orbs are taken with a regular old camera with developed film, not a smartphone camera though.
So glad i found your channel through Chris’ channel!! ❤
did not expect the Teen Girl Squad jingle but I am absolutely here for it
ETA: the hotels, scenery, etc looked beautifully eerie, but cozy, too, and I really wanna taste the sesame+white chocolate snack. thanks for sharing!
Love this, i wonder if i am one of your oldest fans at 63 lol xx
the orbs are dust particles reflecting the flash light... easy to replicate, and a photographers nightmare.
There’s a guy in the background @12:10 who gave me a little fright 🙈
Iwate seems incredible, and those ryokan have great stories/personality to them. Thanks for sharing!
I remember in "Ao no Exorcist" demons/ghosts were accompanied by little dark fly-like creatures. The spots on the photos reminded me of that.
Bugs tend to be associated with demons
@@jamesfry8983 i woke up from the only nightmare ive ever had where i could feel the assualt on my physical body, in my dream a demonic woman was getting ready to kill me and i felt something really horrible happening to my actual body and struggled to wake up. i manage to wake up and instantly sit up and notice a centipede right next to me, i have never killed one before but i instinctively squished that little jerk ]:
Maybe the bird fell over because of an earth tremor or a passing truck.
8:15 🤣 the only hotel that actually proud having ghosts #onlyinjapan
The captions when you are using the sandpaper *scrapey scrapey scrapey* :D
Iwate looks like a really cool place thanks for showing us around and for ryotaro for being an all around great guy
i saw the ghost at around 10:- .... oh wait, thats just ryotaro.
Some interesting chopsticks facts in this video that I didn't know 👍
I stayed there in July of 2019. My fiend and I both brought some toys for the little spirit and placed them in the toconoma in the main room. We also left some toys in the room that the spirit could play with. We didn’t see any orbs, but several times, the little toy cars we had on the table in the room would start to move in their own. Since it was in July, the staff also took us in a tour to a nearby field that had a small creek running though it. We saw hundreds of lightning bugs dancing through the night sky. It was a wonderful experience! Sorry that you didn’t get to see or experience anything.
That sounds so lovely! I'd love to go back and see some fireflies too, i'll have to make another trip in the summer :D
Glad this Japanese ghost video isn't fake like all the other ones on yt
Sharlaaaaa 😝 you are genuinely the only UA-camr I watch, regardless of the topic, enjoy every video and the journey you take us on! 😍
Time to bring out the Camera Obscura...
