いいですね。見てくれて、ありがとうございます！
it's so helpful! I'm going to stay in my vehicle at the PA.😋
That's great! Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your video. Although we prefer the smaller onsen towns like Iizaki, my wife and I will go this July.
Glad you enjoyed the video. We didn't stay here, so I don't know how good it is. If you have a chance, check out Yunishigawa Onsen. It's only one hour away.
Kobe Luminarie is nice. I went there when I was single. beautiful. But he's an amazing person. Good job shooting the video! I wanted to go with my elementary school daughter. Thank you very much 👍
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 👌
Thank you for watching!
Nice series of SA videos. The view of the lake is (a little) better from the other side, the northbound SA. Cheers!
Nice tip and thanks for watching!
I'm a Japanese Hanshin Tigers fan. The Hanshin Tigers are a baseball team that is very popular in Japan, so I'm very happy that people from overseas come to watch our team's games. I've only seen Major League Baseball on the news, but unlike watching baseball in Japan, it feels like watching a movie with a snack in hand, but from a foreigner's perspective, what is watching baseball like a Japanese festival like? Can you feel the wind? Please come and support the Tigers again!
Hello! Thanks for watching my video. Watching the Hanshin Tigers at Koshien was an AMAZING experience! The fans are so passionate about their team. You are right. It is very different from the relaxed atmosphere of Major League Baseball. If you have a chance, please attend an MLB game, and you can compare the two types of atmosphere. Go Tigers!
That last building is Yamabiko Ryokan stayed in that corner unit that overlooked the bend in the river. Where you were standing there were several persimmon trees. Great video, enjoyed going back memory lane. FYI- Maybe pan around a little slower. For me it was a little too fast so was hard on the eyes, especially at the shrine.
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Also, thanks for the filming tip. Very helpful!
Thanks for being there and filming for us, future onsen visitors
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the tour, Drew. Thank you for doing these fascinating videos.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Great video, Drew! Do you know what species of tree was used to construct a six story wooden castle? Very interesting.
Thank you so much! That's a good question. I'm not sure. I'll try to find out.
北アルプス 上高地に行ってみたはいいですね。映像が綺麗です。
ありがとうございます 🙂
Thanks for the tours, Drew! A beautiful country that I will probably never visit in person, so I enjoy your tours.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Hey Drew! Hisashiburi desu! Hope you are well! I went to Aso a long time ago. You brought back some memories for me.
Hey Chris! Good to hear from you. Glad the video back some memories. Hope all is well with you!
この通りは新緑のころと秋が素晴らしい。これは冬で木が裸になっている。またいい季節に来てください。ここから少し北側には桜公園があり桜が満開の時には人が集います。またさらに１㎞ほど北には以楽公園があり、奇麗な池があります。
ビデオ見て、ありがとうございました。いろんなおすすめスポットも、ありがとうございました。特に、香里団地の紅葉みたいです。
牧野に住んでいます。 淀川沿いの石碑に記載している内容で、明治18年に洪水があったことを知る事ができました。 ありがとうございました。
ありがとうございました！
Hi! It's Akari! I was surprised because I watched this video before entering KGU! I didn't know it was your channel. I will watch your videos during this vacation!
Hi Akari! Wow! What a surprise! That's a nice story. I hope you enjoy your winter break while watching my videos.
Welcome to Fujisaka. I'm surprised that a foreigner would feature Fujisaka. I lived there for a little over 20 years, but it was an empty town. Thank you for posting the video. I enjoyed it.
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for introducing Kuzuha😊
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful area indeed 😍 thank you for sharing Drew.👋🏽
Thanks, Aryo!
Another great video, Drew. I told Debbie and Steve how much I enjoyed your videos.
Thank you so much! Glad you liked the video!
Amazing!! I love this channel
Thank you for watching!
It’s the best! I’ve been waiting for the video update!! Emachan kawaii.
Thank you!
Nice to see the colorful temple. I tend to forget that temples, european churches and roman temples were all colorfully decorated on the inside originally. We just see the old and worn reminants today, for the most part. The aging adds to the wabisabiness, but was not the intent of the orginal creator. Glad to see a few rice fields remain. Forty years ago, that was pretty much all you saw for as far as the eye could see.
Yes, the area around Nagao is growing quickly as that station connects directly with Kyobashi in Osaka. Hopefully, they can keep with the rice fields in the area.
Wow! Very impressive campus. I love all the on-campus amenities. I went in '76 when the campus was where Kurumazuka Park is now. There was one seminar house, an old wooden structure next to the crematoria. All the rooms had tatami mats and the showers were outside. The homestay experience jump started my Japanese and created life long relationships. The whole experience strongly and positively influenced my whole working career. I cherish it very much, even to this day.
Today, one of the buildings in Kurumazuka Park is now the public library. The seminar house is still there. Sounds like you had a great experience here. I also made a video of the new Gotenyama Campus. It's very impressive as well.
I have always wanted to visit Takao, maybe because of the kanji, the brochures or just plain FOMO. But, for whatever reason, perhaps not having a car, other places like Arashiyama, Kurama, Hiei, Daigo or Uji were more accessible. Next time, I will make it a point to go up somehow and visit those temples. Thank you for the restaurant suggestion, Momijiya Bekkan and teaching me yukaryori 床料理. Only the bridge shows up in Google maps at first, but now I see the hotel after searching by name.
Yes, Takao is definitely worth it, especially for the autumn leaves. You can get there by bus from Kyoto Station and other places in the city center.
So, what are the Starbucks in Hirakata like? Sannenzaka etc. didn't always look that charming. There was a time when the stores looked run down, western styling was creaping in, power lines detracted from the scene and the street was paved with cracking asphalt. So, we should be appreciative that the local property owners have found it worthwhile to not only restore but bring the street and buildings up to a new level aesthestically.
The Starbucks in Hirakata are just like anywhere else. Yes, that area of Kyoto is very well-preserved. It was magical walking through there at dusk. I hope the video conveys that feeling.
The first sign told about the stone lantern next to it which dates back to the Kamakura era.
Thanks for the info!
I used to walk from that station to go to classes at Gaidai in 1976. It was quicker than taking the bus from Hirakata. The way to school was lined with old wooden houses near the station. It was very charming and rustic. There were also a whole lot more rice fields back then, not suburban house next to another suburban house.
I'm sure everything has a changed a lot. Must be interesting to compare then and now.
Why Kuzatsu and not some of the river towns in Kyoto Pref. along the Japan Sea? Is this a bucket list place that I didn't know about?
It was a family trip we took at Christmas. It's often listed in the top 3 onsen in Japan, and we had never been to Gunma, so we wanted to check it out. Recommended!
Nice! I had this temple on my list for this Fall, if individual tourists are allowed to come in. I wasn't sure if it would be worth it, but your video showed it to be rather pretty and worthwhile visiting.
It's a great place to avoid the Kyoto crowds in the Fall. The hydrangeas are also popular in June.
勉強になりました。ありがとう。
喜んで！
The "bad" side is simply the older side. It was developed first. It had the first department store and the building opposite it had offices and restaurants. In 1976, the Tsite side just had an even older city hall, Sumitomo bank and one/two story wooden buildings. The area around Shinjuku went through the same transformation once the water works were moved out of town and the first skyscapers were erected. The station and Tsite side seem to have really gone upscale. Reminds me more of high-end areas in Tokyo, but on a smaller scale. Whenever I mention to Japanese that I first lived in Hirakata, they seem to know it, or at least have heard the name, probably from a history class. I feel really lucky that I happened to go to school and live there when I did. Even now, like you said, it's super convenient for getting to Osaka and Kyoto. There is no where in Kanto that I believe has that advantage. People always want to visit or live in Tokyo. I've lived and worked in both over many years. To me, Kyoto/Osaka beats Tokyo hands down.
It's very interesting to know the history of the area around the station. Thanks for the info. Hirakata has been growing a lot in the past decade or two. I agree, this is arguably the best/most convenient location in all of Japan.
Thanks for the tour. I will have to follow that walk the next time I'm back. I went to Gaidai in '76 and lived in Deguchi with a Japanese family that I'm still very close with.
Glad you liked it! Try to check it out on the second Sunday of the month to see the market.

Beautiful!! I always enjoy your videos Drew . Who lives in the castle?
Glad you enjoy them, Kim! No one lives there today. It a museum on the inside. Different leaders lived there in the 1600's.
