Countryside Japan, Our Worst Fear Came True!! 

ムカデが耳に入った話よく覚えていたね！ ありがとう！タクとジョセリン！ 素敵な時間を一緒に過ごせて、 とても嬉しかったよ！ 次はムカデを餌に釣りに行こう！！😂

I like that your showing Jocelyn more, smiling 😊. I usually see her in your vid quiet , minimal comments. But, I like this more. Hopefully more of this type, 50/50 Taku and Jocelyn more. In the vid.

After following you guys for at least three years now I'm so pleased to see Jocelyn stepping out, she's a gem

such a dynamite duo. so well & soft spoken... but that centipede ear story gave me whole body chills....

Omygawd. When I heard the 6am bell it reminded me of my childhood. My Grammas on both sides had that exact ring. Japanese culture in Hawaii!!!!

I enjoy your videos. Nice to see joslyn talking in this one. 🎉🎉🎉

I got a haircut from Yama San once upon a time! Is he still in Kanoya? Wow, it's so great to see you exploring this side of the Kagoshima inaka. I lived in Kanoya for two years. The Japanese countryside is something special. Thanks for this wonderful trip down memory lane. I'm glad that you survived your Mukade encounter >_

This is just getting me super excited to move to Japan this summer! I am ready for that rural life and the huge bugs!!!

Once when I was vacationing in MN and I helped out my uncle to cut his grass. I wore long pants and I even went to bed in that pants. I know my mistake plus no showing either. Not sure what I was thinking maybe I am shy to take a shower at other people house. Anyway, I slept and felt bug bites on my leg all night long. When I woke up, I saw bites in perfect formation like rows n rows being planted. I added itchy cream on it to rid the itchiness. Turns out that whatever bit me was laying her eggs into my skin. Once the baby came out, it was dead because I kept on adding different itchy creams on the affected areas. I never seen a bug bite so uniform like a crop circle being done by ufo before. I never get to see what insect species it is either. Glad I didn't lose a leg.

Love y’all keep doing what your doing.

Great video Taku & Jocelyn! Pretty cool on everything except that centipede was a little creepy. Good thing you woke up. As always, your food looks so delicious and the brewery tour was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

Attack of the CentipedeZilla! IDK what think we played with them as kids here in the USA. Amazing experience.

Great video! Jaclyn I love what you did with your hair!looking beautiful! You guys keep u the good work!

Jocelyn, I've read the spirit totem meaning for centipedes is good luck & fortune & that they are highly reveered as such! Some people even keep them in a small container in their pocket for that very reason. So maybe that was a blessing in disguise & since it didn't bite you that was your first good fortune!!! 💝

Awesome video. That centipede is crazy. I wonder if you could have caught your squid if it was used as bait. Lol. Loved seeing all the random sights, esp the grocery store, unsen, and school.

Guys, looks like you guys are having a great trip! My friend lives in the California desert and once had a rattlesnake crawl into his house. Not a good thing...

I just got back from Korea and i stayed in the countryside as well and we got a centipede late one night as well. Couldn't sleep properly for like a week haha. You both exercised a lot more restraint.

Glad you guys didn’t come across any centipedes when you were in Hawai’i. That was just a puppy compared to what we have here. On the west side they can get to be a foot long and the body segments an inch wide. 😅

Speaking of メロンパン, once I visited Santa Barbara CA, and realized that Mexican bread are actually very much like Taiwanese bread I'm used to. After some googling, it seemed Mexican pastry is originated from Japan(Many Taiwanese bread are originated from/influenced by Japan). Didn't look further, but based on the taste, that's probably why they tasted so similar. The only big difference being the flour used. :)

When you are back in NZ we have a good squid fishery from about May until November. We get them from shore on egi jigs.

We have lots of centipede in Tahiti We cut them in half making sure they are dead and bury them Be careful if they curl up it means there are going to jump and sting you It hurts !

It's great to seeing Jocelyn vlog!

This is my first time on your channel, awesome Mr. Pede and all:) Cheers, Rik Spector

That cooking school kinda looks like where hero went to teach a few students about sushi. That was so cool to see him teach young becoming sushi chefs.

Tbh, the thing that scares me the most about visiting Japan is the huntsman spider. *shivers*

I really like this nuance to the channel Dawson has also a pleasant personality and is very helpful.

in the islands centipedes usually come inside your house when it rains. I wouldn't be able to sleep till i find it.

That sounds like a school bell that's playing on the background. I remember back in the day my elementary school would play it

12:49 Centipedes are known to not let go while bitting, and some species are venomous but perfectly safe to eat because they are not poisonous. What a crazy night 😱

Taku...Your dad looks as young as YOU! Your 🎣trips n travels are AMAZING! Keep up the good vids bud!!!

I know a few blocks in The City, in The Mish, where you can get some "mango" as translated by Google, for $20.

The "Pussy" mango translation was Funny! Haha 🙂:-)

日本の普通の生活を紹介してくれてありがとうございます！

Omg I really wasn't expecting the centipede. You're very lucky. I'm allergic to their venom. It's better to beat wth a shoe cause sometimes if you step on them they can wiggle out and sting your foot.

7:56 8:09 ohh when we know to go back and relax on our seats haha

Jocelyn should go to Philippines for mangoes…although I know fruits in Japan are just perfect…el nido Palawan great place for dive as well

I had many encounters with centipedes and even got bit on the hand while I was asleep after a long day fishing, my hand blew up and was swollen for a week the bite was way worse than a bee sting for sure it really sucked lol and on top of that I didn't see where the centipede ran to so that meant he was still at large somewhere in my room😳😩 another crazy encounter I had was when I was cutting the grass in the front yard had my shoes on no socks and as I'm cutting the grass i felt something hit my pinky toe in my shoe 😳 immediately I thought centipede and I ripped the shoe off as fast as I could and as the shoe was twisting and falling to the ground when I ripped it off I saw the biggest one I've ever seen in person more than twice the size of the one you caught in this video 😳

THAT PLUSH MADE ME LOL

Yikes, the centipede ear story just gave me the heebie jeebies!

SUBSCRIBED!!!! MORE TRAVEL ADVENTRURESSS YEAHH

I grew up in Hawaii and their are mango trees all over the place. We even had one in our backyard before it got sick and we had to cut it down. BUT, I was surprised how expensive mangoes are in Japan.

So many memories, I was in Miyazaki for months. Why is it Osen and not an Ofudo? Loved the video. Miss sleeping on a futon.

I am not afraid. But I understand there are many different things where ever you go. Idk bout a venomous centipede crawling into bed with me or anyone though. It’s well worth the experience keep going!

I'm not kidding, I once woke up and one of those was on my junk bro !!!! I freaked!

Idk what is the tops scare video for me. The Grizzly bear in Alaska or the Makude crawling around in the night + Yamasan's ear story. ! Good times! Another one is the great white shark when Taku was on his kayak. Stay safe, get outside, drink good beer! Next stop? Please go to Italy, Corsica and Sardenia! Plenty of fish to catch!

Pretty cool! Great fun and lots of good local foods. Would like to see a video on the weird stuff, like nama chicken, wild boar, and horse. Is it really safe to eat and how is it prepared.

Jocelyn has that Aztec antibodies no biggie for her hahah

Im glad you qgot to have a no hassle Burger. Im glad your enjoying your trip and took some time off. Yuck that would freak me out🫣. Glad you didnt get bit🫢. Have a nice time out. JO JO IN VT 🇺🇲💞

The Catholic Church in my village plays that exact same tune at the same time 😊. Time for church 😊. love you guys

I live on Maui and had a centipede wake me up two weeks ago by my crawling on my leg. I feel your pain! Worst part, I couldn’t even find it to kill it once I turned on the light 😳

I always get hungry while watching your videos.

so good to see joslin talk.

17:55 you can hear Jocelyn giggle like Taku does lol

Food looks amazing!I love bitter melon. I can’t wait to get to Napa next year. 27:19

Aloha from Oahu Hawaii!!! Hope all is well in Japan!! That is BY FAR the most CRAZIEST WAY to be woken up from a deep sleep!!! I can honestly say I was stung 5 time’s on the back side of my leg, below my hamstring super early in the morning!!! The stings can range between a pissed off hornet/ or wasp, to the feeling of 3rd degree burns….. NO BUENO!!! My stings felt like 3rd degree burns. Be safe out there, and tell Taku 🤙🏽HOWZIT🤙🏽 look forward to seeing more content from you, and you’re boyfriend!!!

Your bro looks almost identical to you Taku, you should talk about your family more on The channel. Didn’t know you had a brother.

Im out on the spider!!! That's a big NOPE!

That squid was outrageously expensive!

Oh right at the end of the video my top 2 favorite foods..an now am hungry ! Nice video look like are doing ok in Japan, never mentioned humidity, lol Keep at it folks-

10:50 kinako mochi ! We ate that regularly in Hawai'i.

I had that alarm as a doorbell years ago🤣

baby centipedes in Tonga Neighbour To Niue Island, Its the same story with the ear. I don`t fear Spiders ,snakes put Ja. Thanks for taking us along. Beautiful Country. Beautiful food.

What a wonderful place

Trials bike in the background ….cool

You garden, so you know about diatomaceous earth, I carry it everywhere I travel. Safe Travels!

First of all..Jackyn you are stunning 😍…BUT…I would run to the hills if I saw one of those in my room 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🥺

I was waiting for a Mitsuki appearance. 👏🏽😁

I've worked as an ER nurse and pulled a lot of cockroaches out of people's ears in my time. One trick that always works is poor oil in your ear and it will suffocate the bug and force it to come out. Hope you never have to use that hack, but wanted to educate everybody else if it happens to them.

So much mango lol. You should try making a mango salsa. Mango, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, salt and pepper.

Auto like engaged :). Y’all always make the best videos that are an automatic like.

Great vlog guys…Joc, I am so sorry u had to deal with spider and centipede……..YUCK. I was screaming put your bug net on your head. Oh your not In Canada or Alaska but still. You now have to carry it everywhere 😰. Really enjoying this series, thanks for sharing.

oh man you guys making me so jealous, I can't wait to go to japan sometime in the future!!

The centipede reminded me of Tokyo Ghoul when Ken kenaki gets tortured by Jason. He puts the centipede in his ear.

LG... Life is good!🤠

Good thing u didn't get bit by it cuz they can be painful and like you read,its not as easy on the pain levels a bee sting makes, plus like you said they have venom,which is potent for a simple insect. I can't imagine waking up from that situation nd realizing what it was. I had a wolf spider crawl up my mouth the other night nd I felt it as it crossed my lips nd I grabbed at it fast as possible nd caught it inside my fingers nd squished it while throwing it but worried it bit me within that time but I figured it was most likely a wolf spider nd they don't have a bad bite compared to most others,they are very big around here tho in my area of Oregon nd abundant on my property,so that's not the first or even 3rd time its happened to me,just when it wakes u up or happens in the dark it definitely startles you lol

Australia has a bad rep for bugs lol. But honestly they aren’t that bad. It all depends on where you are, what you’re doing. Yes that’s a huntsman. They’re harmless though and usually more come out when it’s wet and rainy

I live in Honolulu, we are no strangers to centipedes… I’ve been bitten on my foot and I can attest that it is painful. My go to way to get rid of centipedes is to pick them up with scissors then cut them in half into the toilet and flush. If they are really big you can cut in half then dispose in toilet.

When you said: like conchas but kinda better 😨😱 sacrilege!!! 🤣 Now, I wanna try them

I enjoyed this style of video just as much as the outdoor videos! I HATE CENTIPEDES

Bonjour JOCELYN TAKU VOUS ÊTES DANS UNE MAISON OU LES MILLES PATTES SONT ÉNORME JAI TROP PEUR JE NE POURRAI PAS DORMIR BON COURAGE 🥰

Good Video Taku and Jocelyn 😊. New Subscriber to this channel 😀. Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏

My dream was to live in a quiet, peaceful place in this Japanese countryside. Was, thanks to the centipede story. 🙄

how do you make your kimchi fried rice?!!? looks amazing! and my favorite!!

I love that Google translator😂❤

Y’all got me . I thought you guys were going to stay at some haunted Japanese house .👻

I would love that alarm let’s put that in Glendale CA

Gotta admit that's the first time I've seen metal sports and may I suggest ear plugs lol

Centipedes make great fish bait.

I love your style Jocelyn! Where are your mushroom pjs from? and your color block sweater?

ooh that montesa in the back round

Like your show but have many questions on how I get locked into games or commercials whenever I watch!?!😅 Soo... I can't stand the fact of no more Joslyn!

Oh no- pure horror😰and apart from the creepy crawler a very nice episode! Are we going to Sakurajima soon ?❤

I feel like this is your vacation.

Okonomiyaki and takoyaki are my faaaavvvveeee! 🤤

We have similar, if not the same, centipedes here on Maui and throughout Hawaii. They are definitely not fun, their bite is feels like an electric shock at first, and then gets worse. I have seen some people have bad reactions to them as well. I have been bitten, and have also killed dozens of them in my many years living on Maui. We even have one species that gets up to 8 or 9 inches, and I have seen photos of larger, but haven't seen one in person. Some of the worst type are the blue smaller ones, though the big ones are just as bad if it reacts to being threatened. There is also a local legend that the centipedes travel in pairs, and I can confirm that if you find one, there may be another in the area as well. Crush the head, and you will kill it, though there is also a legend that if you burn it, they call in more centipedes. Chickens eat them, and love them, so keeping chickens can help keep them away or at least manage them. We also have the Huntsman spiders (called Cane Spiders here), though I've never seen one the size of the ones I saw in Australia (the one foot wide variety), mostly up to a large hand size here. I used to dislike them, and get rid of them, but they are actually excellent cockroach hunters, so I'd say pick your battle there, but they get a full pass from me, and I have never had a bad experience with them besides being unnerved when I see one. I dislike the cockroaches far more, and nothing I have found hunts a cockroach more efficiently/effectively than a Huntsman spider. The one in the video looks like a female, and are more rare to see than the males. Good luck, I really enjoy your videos, and be thankful you didn't get bitten by the centipede, it's an experience you don't want, and won't forget. The Huntsman are not fun to see, but they are nowhere as bad as a centipede.

they have it right shower first then bath. it's been a while for me but that's the order

He's a hairdresser. He likes cats. Nothing more needs to be stated.

It looks similar to the American Wolf Spider.

It looks tasty and not scary to me. I'm sure you will have a recipe for it. People eat snake all the time and this is nothing comparing size. haha

YIKES! If there's one thing cannot stand, it's centipedes/kakaroach! It's why am always "armed" w/rubbah slippah aka zori! Unless it's radioactive....NOTHING escapes from being Squashed!-lol
