NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Ibaraki is only one hour north of Tokyo and well worth a visit if you're looking to escape Japan's capital for a few days! Just don't let Sharla lock you away in a drum bath. But WHERE should we visit next? Give us your suggestions!

3 videos in week?! It was totally worth the wait. Thank you for the bangers, Chris! On a side note, I think that Chris's photography is great to learn drawing backgrounds and scenery, and how perspective works with different camera lenses. There is everything- the water (coastal) scenes, drone shots, the narrow roads on mountainous forests, and even a volcano!

I'm glad they were serious about you wearing proper gear for kayaking! There's always a chance something could happen and you'd fall in, and water rescue (actually getting you OUT of the water) takes time. If the water is below a certain temperature, you should always wear a wet suit or something more protective, because nature can be unpredictable. Ibaraki looks so beautiful! I'm glad you had an opportunity to spend time there and share it with us ^_^ I'd love to see more of southern Japan! How about Fukuoka next :D

I can't believe for over 4 years you guys rarely made content together when making content together is better than ever with 2 of our favorite people! 🥳🥰

After Connor in an onsen, we get Chris in a barrel, that could be Chris in an onsen, but I'm still satisfied. Really beautiful place. The first accomodation, seemed really cozy, as Sharla said, and being there at night, surrounded by the mountains, must be really amazing. The school seemed really cool too!

The cabins remind me so much of Vancouver Island. You two need to make a few videos exploring Vancouver Island next time you're here!

This feels like main channel level content! Great video! Very happy to see you and Sharla together.

Honest to god! I love you two. I really watching you two in travel vids. Hope to see more of your shananigans soon.

You guys always elevate and complement each other when you make travel vids together like this!

Sharla is the real winner. She survives Chris and his cooking. Im kidding but I do remember the miso seaweed soup

Honestly, the dormitory in the school looks so cool! I can imagine staying there with your mates and talking and having fun in the classroom over a few drinks, reminiscing about the good old days. I would definitely try this place out when I visit Japan.

I was having a real crummy morning, but Chris and Sharla's Ibaraki antics cheered me right up ☺️

I love this video, and I really hope this is the start of a new chapter for the Abroad in Japan channel.

Just wanted to say thanks. Japan has been on my bucket list for ages but I never had anything beyond a vague idea of what I wanted to do or go see there. After watching both your channels I now have a solid list of things I want to see from your list of 47 prefectures Video, Seeing both the Snow monkeys and the Winter festival in Sapporo as well as checking out the abandoned island in Nagasaki. I have put of this trip for so long not wanting to travel solo and I didn't think I could get to any stage in speaking Japanese at a level that would feel comfortable but after binging almost 8 years worth of your videos over the last 2 months I've my trip planned for February next year and have started learning Japanese. Thanks for all the work you've put in the last decade and hope many more years of brilliant content to come.

That Japanese school is just my old primary classroom. Really nostalgic! Also, Chris, for CHRISt's sake, put some crust on your steaks! Shalla's fears are justified! 😋

You two are the absolute best. I wish you all the happiness. These videos are great.

Really enjoyed this video!

Pete, good job editing this video and scouting the locations. Sharla, good job with the scripting, and all the excellent writing.

See you missed out on an opportunity here. If Sharla chucked a few spuds and carrots in that drum and a bit of seasoning, you could've been selling premium cans of Affable Soup right now!

Well, Ibaraki now goes to the top of my list when I come back to Japan maybe 2 years from now. Thanks for this, guys! Also, seriously love you two together.

This Video was so entertaning! Thx guys!

I'm so happy you guys went to Ibaraki to see the daibutsu there! Your Shimanami trip inspired me to go to Japan, and Ushiku was one of my first places I went. I just had to see that statue. It's incredible on the outside, and on the inside!!! And there is a wonderful restaurant right next door, as well as a little market to check out. The gardens surrounding the status are also spectacular. Don't miss out!

You guys have a great chemistry! I want to see more glammping videos of you two!

Ibaraki has some nice spots for sure. Mito has a nice lake park with a lot of Sakura in season. There's Hitachi seaside Park (huge flower garden). And some nice waterfalls, shrines and temples. Nice food like in many places in Japan. I wouldn't necessarily recommend going there on your first visit to Japan though.
