Hi guys. We hope you enjoyed this video. This was one of the best experiences we’ve had and we highly recommend anyone visiting Japan to check this place out. Thanks again to everyone at Iizukatei, as well as to the people we met in town for welcoming us with kindness and so much warmth.

Beautiful and peaceful setting! I think it would take more than one trip to absorb all of the fabulous local atmosphere. It is nice to see Satoshi relax and be himself. Always enjoy the beauty of Japan wherever you take us. Especially when both of you are there together.

Wonderful video, and yet another place on my list of places I should see.

Here’s some information on the prices for the room we stayed in. We stayed in the Hontaku 本宅 Room for two nights. The room with no breakfast cost ¥55000 and can accommodate up to 4 persons. Breakfast can be ordered separately at ¥1100 and dinner for ¥4400. The hotel offers 6 different types of rooms.

Shinichi: oh no...! They have so much... What am I going to do? Satoshi: Buy! Shinichi: what am I going to do? Satoshi gesturing towards the ware: buy it! If that's not love, I don't know what is! I also love ceramic ware and they were so pretty! Loved all of your activities, the place looked amazing and I absolutely adored watching you guys relax a bit after so much worrying! Love you both and Justin so much!

What a gorgeous hotel and village and such cordial, hospitable people! Nakagawa-machi is now on my "places to visit" list. And speaking of gorgeous--you both were handsome, as always, and so relaxed. Your yukata, Satoshi-san, looked like an early summer morning and it suited you perfectly. Thank you both for this 30-minutes of happiness. I'm overjoyed to hear that Justin is still with us. What a _good_ , precious boy. Prayers continue for the three of you, and love is always flowing your way.

So handsome Satoshi-San, with and without a hat!

Thank you Satoshi for allowing us to feel like we are true friends now that you have no hat! A very handsome guy, Sinichi you are lucky to have him. Don't stop wearing your hats please. I love hats and enjoy seeing other people wearing them. Place looks amazing. On my list to visit. Hope Justine is continuing his recovery. Take care. 🤗🍀🙏

I loved that welcoming veggie plate that showcased all the local farms and the other local treats and beverages. Such a special touch and really makes you feel a connection to the whole area right from your hotel room.

Okay, Guys! THIS IS TORTURE! I WANT TO GO THERE! This looks so wonderfully peaceful, and exciting at the same time... A Zen Holiday. Japan comes in surprising "LAYERS". Thanks, for the insight. This is on my Bucket List!

I am the same Shinichi, I would be in serious trouble in the ceramic shop. I could spend all day there and bring back home a suitcase full! I am obsessed!🍵

As an Australian, I was tickled pink to see the Vegemite 😍😍😍

Seeing Satoshi without a hat is an extremely rare sight! I love that place. I'd love to go. The young man at the ceramics shop looked really handsome. Shame we couldn't see him without a mask on.

I'm surprised you bought four bowls instead of five. I remember a shop in Tokyo that sold the laquerware bowls and they wouldn't sell four to a German couple. I remember reading somewhere that it had to do with "shi" being bad luck or something. But, I agree, I'd have a hard time deciding what ceramic items to get! They're amazing!

The rain throughout this video is strangely soothing and just makes this place kind of feel magical.

Thankyou guys, such a beautiful episode, loved every minute .

Wow! I can't wait to see more! Thank you for sharing such amazing places. I love ceramics and pottery as well!!!!

This was an absolutley amazing video!!!!!!!! I love these tours and stays that you guys do..... You make us feel like we are there and this place looks so amazing!!!!!! Cannot wait for more videos from your stay, you guys are so amazing!!!!!!!!!

Such a beautiful garden and house! I love those old wooden structures in Japan.The blue ceramic cup is the one I like. I have a love for all kinds of china and pottery.

Stunning all around! Gorgeous garden and accommodation and gorgeous ceramics too. I would go crazy in there wanting to buy everything 💕 Also nice to see a hatless Satoshi - very handsome! 😊

Sugoi! Love the hotel & meals included! Beautiful property! Can’t wait for the other videos coming up! 💜

I love this old Mansion wow, thank you for showing'! And what beautiful gesture of Satoshi, opening the Gate for His Partne 😍 well OK Shinichi is walking with Camera... But still... My heart is melting. Sorry I'm an hopeless romantic 🙈

What a stunning place. Love this video so much. Would love to visit some day.

Wow, lost for words... an amazing place indeed. Thank you for sharing.

Stunning place. Great video. Love the history about the hotel and area.

This is such a great watch. Seeing parts of the hotel, the scenery, the people who reside there, and of course the food, is very relaxing. I enjoyed watching this a lot!

This looks really cool. I appreciate videos like this. 💕

It was first when I read the comments that I noticed that we saw Satochi without one of his nice hats on - I just thought that he looked as handsome as always! 🙂

So interesting! You two have brought me on a number of interesting trips with your videos and this was the best. Thank you for posting.

What a gorgeous place!! The breakfast looks amazing. What a beautiful trip. 😍

Absolutely exquisite! Thank you so much for sharing this treasure. We are planning our first trip to Japan for 2022. This will be included in our “must stay at” list!

I’m speechless, and that’s really hard to do! I am so very happy that you both got to experience something so special! Everything from start-to-finish was absolutely amazing, and that 10 year old umeboshi?!? Goodness! Oh, the Ayu! I LOVE Ayu! Thank you both for taking the time to explain everything about Lizukatei and Nakagawa Machi! It was as if I was there right by your side! I cannot wait to see the footage from the rest of your trip! Both of you are kakkoii, but brother Satoshi…..Hontoni kakkoii ne! I love that you took off your cap! 😍😍😍

I don’t know why but I feel so excited while watching this video, I really enjoyed it 😁 thank you Shinichi and Satoshi!

I really enjoyed watching this video. Such a beautiful place to stay. Thank you for filming.

Wow!! Thank you fir sharing these wonderful experiences with us!

I know he was wearing a mask, but I'm a sucker for a cute ceramicist 😊 What an exquisite experience from start to finish! Beautifully filmed and edited, too - just superb. 😁

LOVE LOVE LOVE this video! Very peaceful and beautiful, worth every minute, second and money spent to create and make this video. I would love to visit this town and immerse in its beauty. Thank you for sharing this with us. It's nice to see Satoshi very relax and not hiding in different hats. Take care guys.

What a beautiful place! I am so interested in staying there and do the activities you guys did! It would be such an amazing experience! 🥰 I really love this video. Thank you!

I can't stop watching your Channel. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these. Beautiful and educational.

I love places like this. Can't wait for the next video.

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing. Now on the list.

This is the life that I wanted to live, being surrounded by the peaceful nature 🥺.. This is my reason for going to Japan now 🥰!!

oohh, Iizukatei looks so amazing! And the entire time with the ceramics was just.. mood. I love ceramics myself and would have loved that blue bowl Shinichi found.

Loved this video !! So interesting and well presented !!

This place took my breath away! So beautiful! Absolutely loved the ceramics, food and everything! You're both looking really handsome guys! Time stopped for u. I can't away for the next videos! Take care guys. Love u ❤️

What an amazing experience, thank you for sharing

This is the first time I have seen one of your videos. I enjoyed every moment of it. Natalie is an absolute gem. You guys did a wonderful job of explaining the tastes, textures and flavours of your meal. Now you have a new subscriber and I look forward to all your videos

That place seems like paradise! Thank you for sharing this with us

Awesome video guys. This place is definitely on my radar for potential places to stay someday. The cloudy day lighting actually really helps emphasize the appeal of the place IMO. I know a lot of people love very sunny weather and atmosphere, but that dimmer light from a cloudy day just gives it such a natural and wholesome appeal. Like you're experiencing a real day in the area, where clear weather isn't necessary to show you how great it is.

This is the most calming lovely video. I am definitely going to come back and rewatch this after a stressful day. Sooo relaxing.

Wonderful video. So grateful that they are preserving some homes.

This place looks gorgeous and peaceful. I would definitely go for a relaxing de-stress stay while on a japan vacation

30 minutes of quality tabieats content ❤️

Love the large sandstone step from the grass to the house!!!!! 👍🏻

Great Video! Thank you for sharing! Would love to visit someday!

Wow, everything is amazing. I hope you can visit more historic cultural places like this! It's perfect

Such a lovely place! Great to see you both outside for a change of scenery.

Beautiful place! And Satoshi is rocking that no-hat look, go Satoshi!

This all looks so amazing 😻 the nature, architecture of the building, the food 🍱 lucky you guys :) I am so happy you had a chance to enjoy it and to share it with us 🤗🥰

The BEST video ever. Thank you. :)

What a dream , this would definitely entice me to come and experience the beauty of Japan. The food is amazing and the setting is so tranquil . Thankyou for the amazing experience so glad to see you both relaxed and able to be together ❤💋

Awesome video! Loved every second of it and can't wait for the others! =)

That place was great. Thanks for sharing this.

Beautiful. Loved that the accommodation is Japanese in style though very modern interior. It will appeal to Western people who are not used to sitting on the floor though they're still having a "local" experience. Being shown around the town and the food options are extra lovely touches. As an Australian I liked seeing Natalie there and I 100% agree with Satoshi just a little Vegemite goes a long way. Always go for less if you're unsure. Can't wait to return to Japan when looking at your videos. 🙏🏻

Awesome video......Thanks for sharing this.....Thumbs Up!

this place looks amazing! i was eagerly awaiting this video when you had a sneak peek on your instagram and now i can't wait for the rest of the videos!

Wow! That house design is the most amazing I have ever seen, beautiful! Whoever designed it is very talented.

Loved this one so much--it looks calming and relaxing. I laughed during the umeboshi part. So relatable!! Lol!

This is neat! Beautiful stuff. Great vid!

Really enjoyed this video folks

I super love this video guys! More than the city tours which are good too 😀

This was a fantastic watch. I can’t wait to visit Japan again and definitely explore this region when things calm down. Thank you both and keep up with the good work. Love to your beautiful Justin too.
