We’re a British couple who love to travel! We enjoy sharing all our adventures on RU-vid, so you'll find a mix of Japan 🇯🇵 related content and videos from our other travels 🌍. We like making videos about things we find funny, interesting and strange about wherever we go without trying to be too serious.

Just foot spas at the Hells / Jigoku I'm afraid! If you want to go Swimming, look up the "aqua garden" in Beppu, it's the biggest & best place to swim and it has ana amazing view!
Thank you Ashley & Theo. (Missed you guys. 4 weeks?! what, don't tell me you have like real jobs and all that... 😄) Kept looking at the people in the background to see if Dogen would walk past... 😂
@@wegoeast Thanks so much... my wallet will cry, but I think I will book that place... it is not so far from the center of city, slightly off main restaurants, but with included dinner and breakfast I think it could be ok, since I will seek for peace and relaxation that day...😁
@@axios101 and if you do want to head into town, the ryokan isn't far from the station, and then it's 1 stop to Beppu station. Its a really good location :)
You can still climb Mt. Fuji at night! But between 4pm and 3am you will be required to reserve a mountain hut / officials will check that you have a reservation. Prior to 4pm you can still set off without a hut reservation I believe.
Welcome to Sumida-ku!! You can buy some Bentou inside Kokughikan too. Only Yakitori bentou are cooked under the Kokugikan. There is a vending maschin of Tyanko hotpot in Ryougoku.😂 Please come to Sumida-ku in next time, Sumida River grand Fireflower in summer, oder Bousaikan for understand tje Earthquake history und know moving power in experience.
Probably I think you can change English mode for this car navigatin on setting screen. If you can’t find setting mode, please confirm to person in charge of service counter when you use rent a car. Take care and enjoy sightseeing in Japan.🚗♨️🍙
Beat me to it! it really was amazing, the footage doesn't do it justice. The next video we'll be uploading (day 2 of this trip) has more footage of it and Kurokawa Onsen town as well
@@wegoeast can't wait for it! Hope we can get some tips on booking of the ryokans. I've just checked that most ryokans are fully booked. Not sure if it's because my trip in Nov is still too faw away to book?
Thanks, Ashley & Theo, another enjoyable Ja-vlog. Okunoyu does look amazing. It's 4⭐..., but I'd still love to check it out some time . 🐖💰😬😄 Seen the Aso caldera panoramic from the top of Kishima-dake _in spring_ , everything green, and it's _awesome_ , so yes, it's an amazing part of the country (especially if you happen to have an interest in geology and volcanoes, like _moi_ ) Would love to take one day that road you took to climb _out_ of the caldera, but _going in_ (the entrance from the west side on the train is quite spectacular) 🙏
It really depends, each business will open at a different time. Restaurants etc will likely open around 10 or 11 and close around 11/12 but some are open 24 hours! market food stalls will be open earlier, around 8 or 9 and close around 6, other shops will open around 9/10 until 8/9
I went to the Okamoto Gion store last year! The ladies were so professional and quick in getting us dressed! The obi my mum initially picked didnt work out because there wasn’t enough length after wrapping so they changed one for her that worked. It was like $75SGD for the Nagoya Obi plan after tax but it was worth the price tag.
Awww, I sense and feel the sadness about the oniiyama hell ( crocodile ) myself too. I think I’ll skip that too. Although, I don’t like crocodiles but I think their situation there is quite sad. Thanks for sharing .
So there are busses you can take: 16, 16Aリ, 29 But the busses are very infrequent and will add a load of time to your journey. I'd highly recommend renting a car if possible as you're not bound by timetables and can nip between places very quickly. Beppu is surprisingly big and public transport will add hours of journey time to your days!
I love Miyajima! Especially the roads less travelled. We found a path going up the hill behind all the buildings where there was no one. So beautiful. Great video and i hope that deer was okay omg!
Can you please tell me if your educational background matters. I'm currently pursuing my BSC honours degree in the major of statistics but at the same time I'm serving as an English language trainer in an institution which is associated with the British council.
Your educational background does not matter for JET, the only condition is that you have a Bachelor's degree (doesn't matter what in). Your English Language Trainer experience will be a big help for your application if you decide to apply!
3:24 a Japanese farmer here. I lost my driving license due to drink driving recently, and Im banned from driving for 2 yrs. I drove my car while I was in hangover condition, on the way back home from my friends house, I was about to prepare a breakfast for my son. Fortunately I didn't cause any accident in that day but my breath alcohol level was over the limit. However, the breath reading result was 27 μg per 100 ml of breath, which is under the limit of your country's law. I am not trying to say drink driving is normal, and drink driving may leads accidents. but I just can say our country's law is ridiculous.
I’ll be checking out the other videos in your Japan series. Thanks for the info and giving prices in a proper currency instead of that American Monopoly money 😉
Id recommend a full day if you have time, you can have a more relaxed day exploring. Also Miyajima can get very crowded in the early afternoon. If you're pressed for time and travelling from Hiroshima, you could get to Miyajima early (say 9:00am) do all of the sites in the morning and be back in Hiroshima for lunch, but this would be a too quick in my opinion
Get there early before the hoards of crowds come in, do all the touristy stuff out of the way, and when the crowds come in (from 11am onwards) go up the hill. You can do all of it in half a day really.
I also like Miyajima very much. A few years back hiked to the top of mt Misen and then through the back to the Tsutsumigaura nature park (holiday park, really), which was weirdly empty even though it was June. Had a lovely little swim there with my friend and then hiked the coastal road back to the port, just a lovely, memorable day. (the views from mt Misen to the Setouchi sea and all the other islands around are hard to beat) Thanks for sharing, WGE.
It is a really great view from the very top you're right, one of the best I'd say - so scenic! Never done the hike though, it'll have to go onto the to-do list for the next time we visit!
Yes actually, our go to Kobe beef spot is called Kobe Beef Koujyo (you can Google maps it). It's a v nice non touristy place with prices to match, but as its a special meal its 100% worth it. You need to book online in advance (use the Google translate extension on Chrome to assist). It's less than 5 mins walk from Sannomiya Station so it's SUPER central. Avoid steakland, it's the ultimate tourist spot (but the food isn't that bad to be fair)
@@wegoeast thanks so much for the recommendation, we are going in April and have booked dinner there already. Although the choice of meats baffles me as it is lol. Thanks for helping, and good stuff with the vids 👍
I went to that same castle in Beppu and was blessed by their white snake! And I love the Yamagata reference because I am a JET in Yamagata and I actually can see Zao mountain from my school!
