I love how everything in Japan is made for enjoyment/aesthetic as well as for function. You're on this big industrial ice-breaker ship for a tour, it could be very sterile, but they're playing music from Howl's Moving Castle and there's always things to see and hear to keep you entertained. Great video!
It makes it feel really magical imo, the voice over the loud speaker and the music make it seem like it’s some kind of gentle theme park ride into another world :DD
I love how so many things have english translation to it, sadly so many non english speaking countrys dont have this extra feature, so it makes me very happy to see the extra thought behind this, both the written and the audioble on the speakers
@@sugoiiininjadesuu7262 It actually saddens me. Why does the world need to adapt for arrogant I can't be assed to adapt to the country I visit British, Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and Americans. Its just allowing laziness and our imperialist high and mighty superiority complex. Just make us learn your damn words at least for the basics.
@@BrumBrum2222 I heard also Chinese on the loudspeaker on this ship, so there must be a lot of Chinese tourists, too. Though I would agree with you that tourists should be able of some basic communication, like ordering a meal or something, it's impossible to follow an one hour tour with explanations unless you've an average command the language. When it comes to reading Japanese, there are up to 50.000 Kanji, a very educated person can read about 4000, for reading a newspaper you need to know about 2000, also depends if the Kanji are sinojapanese or purely japanese symbols and there are various ways to read them. You can read the Latin alphabet in every country that uses it even though you wouldn't know the language... English is a language that many people outside GB, Canada and the US can speak somehow. Of course the attitudes of especially Americans are quite spoilt, ignorant and impolite yet I (being from Europe) wouldn' t want to spend the next years learning Japanese for a three week holiday, so I could read the signs and understand what they are telling people about the sights. If I planned to stay there for a longer period it would be self evident for me to get a better knowledge of the native language.
@@BrumBrum2222 idk if you know this but having english translation is very helpful even for people that don't come from a country with English as their primary language. It shouldn't sadden you that it helps people understand what's going on...
I am an Indian, watching this. I have heard of many places thanks to anime and Murakami, I absolutely like this video. Hope someday I will visit japan in person.
This is so cool!! Hokkaido was one of the places I wish I’d had a chance to travel to when I lived in Japan! Thank you again for another relaxing, entertaining and informative video 😄
What an amazing landscape! I have worked on ships for more than 10 years but I have never seen something like this! Added to my bucket list! Thanks for the videos Kuga Senpai! love your chanel! 🙌🏼
Thanks for sharing this video! It is so great to see the snow and ice. I actually got to see and touch snow for the first time when I traveled to Japan. I chose to visit during December because I had never experienced true winter (I live on a Caribbean island so it’s pretty much summer all year long). I actually prefer colder temperatures to the summer heat. 😅
I really had to turn on the heater when I watched this video although it's pretty warm here :D Greetings from Australia. I like your videos. Very relaxing. Arigato
Thank you for making these wonderfully relaxing videos. I have been unable to travel this year due to coronavirus, and these videos have made me feel like I am able to see new places anyway! Thank you from Ireland!
This view is magnificent and actually helped to cool down our thoughts thus gave us peace of mind for a moment! 💙👍 However, these pieces of ice also reminds me the tofu dessert! They looked soft on the surface though...😍
also from Canada, BC - so interesting to see this scenery, but also interesting to see how different cultures are doing... well... so much better with the virus. :( Japanese can do tourism! Numbers are OK! Whereas North America #'s, well... but, I will do my part and be careful, and watch these amazing world-expanding videos. I never saw ice like that, but now, I have! While eating noodles on my couch! Thank you, Kuga.
Same. I really liked how the atmosphere is changed with the piece playing in the background. Almost as if, spring has come. Joe Hisashi is an incredible composer!
Kuga-San....pour it on. I'm a hometown boy (Fukuoka) circa a LONG TIME AGO but I love seeing vids about the old country. You're a lucky young man and you represent Japan as it should be....through the eyes of a traveler
I missed going for the drift ice the last time i went hokkaido.. the view is fantastic, giving a sense of tranquility in the sea of white.. thks 🙇♀️🙇♀️
Thank you for your English subtitle and your trip uploading. I feel very excited to go on board with you to see the ice floe!. ありがとうございました! I will subscribe you and share your vedios to others. May i ask any hot coffee on the ship?
Kuga, I would love to see you ride the Shinkansen from Sapporo to Kagoshima in one day, because I know it´s possible (or the other way round). I once did Hiroshima - Hakodate and I loved the ride and the sights :)
For future commenters it’s quite respectable for him to record his feet to avoid catching people’s faces In the video. Just fast forward if it’s such an eye sore to you.
