Thank you for your video. I spent last year doing an exchange in higashi omiya and I've never been happiest in my entire life. This takes me back, since I've been in those areas plenty of times. I've shed a few tears watching this video and one other of you walking around at night in the rain somewhere in chiba's suburbs, since it made me remember all the times I had to take the last train coming back from a friend's house, since my dormitory would not allow spending the night outside without previous notice, which meant I would have to take the last train, but when I got back to my station there would be no more buses running and I would just take the long way home, enjoying the dim street lights and their reflections on the rainy puddles on the floor. Your videos are awesome.
Dana Rhodes We still go out and about, stores are still open, and people are going to the park and walking around also, it’s understandable that businesses have to close especially if there’s a lot of employees working in an office or department stores, my neighbors take their dogs for a walk and since schools had to close, I see kids playing outside. But even in this video, it doesn’t look too busy or crowded. Just keep safe and drive around your city or go for walks so you feel trapped in your home.
I don't, seems like two years ago for this hermit turned social butterfly. As soon as this is done and over, I'm gonna be the f r i e n d l i e s t human.
@@streetsofasia8895 he took a timeout recently. he said he didnt know how long it would last - but in the end it was fortunately just about two weeks or so.
A better way to go from the main Omiya Park to Omiya park II is to walk across the street bridge next to the cycle racing track, you avoid the traffic and it has some nice trees along the way. During the cherry blossom season, Omiya park II has a very nice row of trees just next to the park, hopefully, you can visit again when they are blooming.
A HUGE THANKS again from a fan in quarantine in the UK for chancing the pandemic and keeping us all walking with you........ Rock star!!!!! Saitama is a Lovely Lovely City and so clean......... I keep glancing at the ditches and sidewalks for trash and counting them................. CARRY ON (and be safe).
Gorgeous exploration!!!🚶♂️🤗Scenic lakeside view park,wide array of shops -functional and diverse.Loved the cute cat in view.🐈Nice ending with a torii gate standing.😊Tks for sharing.
Hi Rambalac. I'm glad to see your activity is normal. 39:10 My favorite places are shrines. This days are difficult for filming in Spain but they are historic. Good luck.
At 26:00, I remember walking down here in May 2016. I was going to an Omiya football/soccer match with a Japanese girl that I finally got to meet in person. We came down this way to pass Hikawa shrine before the match. It was very nice. :)
Appreciate this walking tour. If I have to quarantine myself in the near future because of this virus, I'll be watching this channel on my TV in HD with headphones. Almost as good as being overseas instead of home on the couch :)
Thank you so much for your content. I want to visit Japan again, it's been over 25 years. But with the virus, and we have had to make some emergency house repairs, put any such plans delayed. Seeing your videos makes me want to visit even more lol. But it makes me smile...so thank you!
Well. This cat talked to you! LOL Getting one of your videos is like having a steak after a long diet of canned meat. Lots of people quarantined or staying at home. I posted your channel on my facebook to let them wile away the hours. The people's reaction to the new born baby was priceless. Even the familiar crows were nice to hear. Wow a two-cat walk. Blessings.
Great walk, especially once you got tot the tree lined boulevard and the shrine. Love seeing these. Stay safe and hope you are able to keep up posting these walks. -Henry
As always, its a Wonderful time taking a virtual walk with you in the beautiful Japan. We appreciate you ever so much. My Blythe dolls and I.☺👍👍👍.P.S many prayers, peace, and Love to you all.
That's helpful, I'm moving to Omiya and was looking to live around potentially the parks area so super nice to see what all that area is like and how fast it drops off outside of the station etc.
Konnichiwa :) I got one of youre videos suggested in my time line 1 week ago and I wanted to say Thank you. I am for a long time a hugh fan of japan and currently leraning their language. Youre Videos are running on my second screnn al time when I play games. One time I will visit Japan too with my wife, but youre vids are ASMR enough for my eye till then. PLS Keep up your great work. Greetings from Germany :)
Hello, I'm Japanese student who is learning English and Russian. I love your country, and I want to start to learn German someday because it has similarity to English.
The sounds of people and life are reassuring in these times. Thank goodness you're still doing these so people can go outside vicariously through your walks. You are performing a real psychological service for people, so that we may feel some form of normality, albeit simulated. Thanks as always, get lots of miso soup and stay healthy :). Your steady cam work is amazing as always! At 3:10, you have a mystic affinity with cats, you always find a cool bobtail to film. The facemasks really aren't a big fashion accessory to the normally fashionable people of Tokyo.
I'm surprised not to see many senior citizens playing Poke Mon Go in Omyia park. I miss that park it was my favorite place to walk during breaks from work... many memories in Omiya. I remember my first time visiting Omyia park on my lunch break in 2006 and feeding the ravens bread. When I returned to work and told one of my Japanese students what I have done, she told me very seriously, "Please don't feed them!:. I will be returning soon, to Higashiomiya and plan to walk one day through the backways to Omiya park III.
4:15 you can see the cell antenna on the upper left with 2 cables coming out of it; 4:21 - 4:26 you can hear as it modulates the microphone's built-in amplifier. Interesting.
Interesting but can't help feeling the loneliness and boredom!! Thought heard a baby cry.....thats quite strange in quiet Japan! Saitama Ken beautiful thanks for video
Kevin Caldwell This is quiet compared to being in Tokyo or any big cities where there’s more people and traffic noise. I live in central California, two hours north of Los Angeles, my city is over 380,000 and not a loud noisy city, like a quiet suburb outside of a big city. I grew up around L.A., I don’t miss the noise or the terrible traffic but I still go for a visit since my mom still lives there. I use to know someone who lived in Hamilton, Ontario, I visited her years ago and I had so much fun. I’ve also love a Toronto, and my husband and I went to Vancouver, and Victoria, just amazing places! 😁
Thanks for always uploading your walkabouts. Must ask, at 35:40 you passed small trees that were covered up, wondering if they’re fruit trees being protected, not something I’ve seen before 🤔
Rambalac opposite to those and on your right as you walked there. I wondered during colder seasons if people in Japan covered particular trees to avoid frost damage. Thanks again for sharing, always lovely to watch and especially now to see a lot of people still out and about.
