Today we take you to see the Icicle display at Ashigakubo in Saitama prefecture. Every winter you can see this breathtaking display and it’s only an hour and 40 minutes away from central Tokyo by train.

Super random comment but- Its so surreal watching you two together for so many years, I just checked and ive been following you guys since october 13th 2016. it's beein over 5 years! you've always made this channel feel like a family, and i excitedly talk about japan knowledge ive learned from both of you including small restaruants. I do hope some day i can go to japan and if im lucky ill bump into you two! I hope you both have a wonderful day

I love Satoshi when he is explaining and describing the food, taste, texture 🥰🥰 I really want to try the miso potatoes, sake gelato and the cookies (with tea).

The scenery is absolutely breathtaking - it looks out of this world! Thanks for showing us this amazing sight, Satoshi and Shinichi!

Ooohhhhh!!!!!! I am sooooo excited to receive my order from Immi! Thank you for making it possible to enjoy ramen again without the added carbs! Now…..onto watching the rest of this fabulous vlog!

Those icicles are amazing and soooo beautiful! Made me think of stalagmites in a cave. The Laview train looks so nice and clean and cheerful with the yellow. I want to ride! Thank you so much for showing us. I'm always so happy when I see you have a new video out! 😄

Oh that was lovely! We enjoyed it so much! Please go back when you can!!! Sending smiles from Oklahoma! Love, Nat&Stan

I love yellow! 💛 The seats on the trsin are so so cute! 😍 I love the music playing during the train segment too. 🎵🎶💖

More Chichibu PLEASE!!! Loved the video! Thank you. 😍

Awesome job you gyts

That’s so kool love the yellow colour on the train great idea!!! 💛 Brightens the day!!!!

Wow, love this trip from beginning to end. The train with big windows looks so spacious. The other train is nostalgic. The katsu and potato. Sakutto! I like tororo imo too. The icicles were beautiful. I love those parts that hang over. Your snacks also looked good. I would probably drink tea but Satoshi's beer bottle was cute.

Yes. I would love to see more of this area.

The icicles were lovely but the trains and food stole the show for me. The modern La View train looked gorgeous and then the old school train brought the nostalgia. Really want to try the katsu and ice creams as they looked so good.

Possibly the perfect Japan travel story? Awesome trains, delicious local food and drink, beautiful natural scenery, roadside rest stop... sugoi desu ne!

Great food, awesome Icicle castles, and cool Trains.

I didnt "get" it until about 1/2 way through your hike through the ice area.. then it struck me.. this is a form of gardening... "ice gardening". It embodies the ephemeral aspects of wabi sabi in that it will melt away each year, is a transitory beauty. Thank you for sharing.

This one was very well shot guys! Great job and the audio on the train was spot on!

Yes more Please... The icicles were beautiful Loved seeing them

What a wonderful video! The should have satisfied Shinichi’s fascination with icicles for the rest of the season❄️ Glad you enjoyed the train as well. It looked beautiful!

That train looked so cool! Wow, amazing! I wish we had such lovely trains! Those icicles were truly extraordinary! So beautiful. I wonder how they form like that. I'm glad you had a wonderful time and some delicious food 😄

The ice was so majestic, and the sound of the water flowing underneath was tranquility in its best. So glad you got to see it all and experience the beauty. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful day with us. Yes I'd love to see more 🤞 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗

Satoshi is the new Mr. Magoo. Love it.

coming to Japan in February and hunted down this video, because I remember watching it and have wanted to see these icicles since. After 3 years of not being able to return to Japan, Im so excited to see something spectacular.

I stayed in Chichibu, way back in 2009, even experienced a room shaking earthquake for the first time.

I ❤ love the views! Japan is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your exploration!

Content about day trips from Tokyo are always welcome. Thanks guys, Hi from Bundaberg, Australia.

It is delightful to see your trip that is awesome

Yes I would love to see more Chichibu.

Omg, I'm going to start binge watching tabi eats because I've haven't watched in a while

Wow Beautiful train,comfortable and very clean...local food looks yummy,..I like chicken katsu and potatoes... Thank you Shinichi and Satoshi for this information...

Yes! I would like 👍 to see more of Chichibu! ?spelling?

what beautiful! I love this video. Thank you for showing it to us

Shinichi must have loved all the icicles considering he kept talking about them on their Hokkaido trip. The formations are stunning and it looks beautiful. Thanks for taking us along with you on your excursion. It looks like it was a great time.

What a magical winter wonderland. The Icicles were so beautiful. I know you were in heaven Shinichi because you always love the beautiful little things in life. I'm glad you guys had a good time and had so much good food. 😊

The icicles were amazing! The food looked quite delicious as well. I would love to see you go back and share that beauty with us. Thank you very much I enjoyed the video! ❤️

That was a beautiful train. I love the bright yellow color as well. The icicles are also beautiful. I'm glad you showed us them because I don't think I would travel th O Japan in winter. Yes go back and show more 👏

Hello and the gelato looks so refreshing!

Thank you for sharing your trip to see those gorgeous icicle formations Satoshi and Shinichi, and the local foods as well.^^ I now hope that I will get an opportunity to see that sight in person someday.

That music was definitely late 60 early 70!! Fun!!!!!😂😂😲💕

Haha! I loved the snazzy retro music soundtrack as you rode the "sunshine train." The local food specialties all made my mouth water. And the blue-tinged icicles are amazing. Day trips like this are so much fun! I'd love to see more of Chichibu!

Thank you for the delightful video. That food looked so tasty, and such beautiful scenery.

Another great video! Dessert first - can’t wait to try the local whisky gelato. Miso potatoes look yummy too. Please return in spring/summer season. Thanks for cool day trip!

I took a day trip to Chichibu 20 years ago. It was when I found out Japan had bears!

I have to try those noodles from the sponsor! 👍 🍜

So beautiful! Thank you for this video 😍💕

Thank you for sharing this video TabiEats! Been wanting to visit Chichibu because of a particular private onsen, and this video makes us more eager to do so. More power to your channel and more videos please. Arigato gozaimasu!

You have some very nice scenery shots in this video. Love it!

The music that you put with this match the yellow decor it was very 60s hip

Such a fun video. I love the train rides, yummy food, and your company together. Cheers !

Hi my brothers! 👋🏽 Loved the train, very cool. It looked so cold, but beautiful where the icicles were. 👍🏽👍🏽❄️❄️❄️

You know something i found here after Christmas? Egg Nog ice cream, OMG, it was perfection! I had been feeling down that I didn't enjoy enough egg Nog that season, and I found president's choice Egg Nog ice cream, and it was not all received here, so it was half price, i bought them until they were gone ,

Oh wow those icicles are definitely something else! Loved this video so much because of the editing, shots, and esp. the music! Cheers to you guys and take care 😊

Such a calming video! The icicles were beautiful

You two are wonderful together .

This is a great winter treat. Awesome 👍🏽

OMG!!!!!!!!!!

And I like the machines to order your food so convenient. Train rides icicles and Gelato is the perfect way to end this video . Stunning trip💚💚💚👍

うぽつです。　いつも拝見させて頂いてます。 お二人ともいつもなまら美味しそうにご飯を食べてますねー どうぞお体に気おつけてお過ごしください😀 早くコロナの終息、世界情勢等平常に戻る事を心より願ってます。

Lovely place! Please return and introduce us to more places there, I will look forward to it If possible, please show us how to buy the tickets for the LaView express train and how much does it cost Thanks!

Thanks,would be my idea of a day trip although I have no experience with cold weather.Funky yellow seats,katsu,potato stick& strawberry sandwich would be for me&icicle display is stunning.Ibtried ordering the ramen as mum& myself should do low carb&low sodium but does not ship to Oz, shame as for now dry kijac will have to suffice,you guys seemed to enjoy it,stay well, cheers

Homemade icicles! I love you two!

HI Satoshi and Sinichi ! I absolutely adore you both and love watching your adventures ! Thank you for sharing your life with us. Love from North Carolina USA ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing your travels through Japan. Beautiful scenery and delicious looking food. I love Japan!

Always nice to see some places in Saitama hi-lighted in a positive way. It's often overlooked as just a prefecture that people live in to work in Tokyo, but it definitely has some wonderful spots of its own.

If you use a polarizing filter it will cut the glare on glass so you see straight through without reflections ✌️

Hi Guys, Loved the train journey with the beautiful scenery. The Miso potato and pork rice bowel looked delicious, strawberries 🍓 were my favourite though. The icicles looked awesome 😎 and such beautiful Blue colours. Great video guys watching this cheers up my working week . Looking forward to more videos Arigato 😀❄️👍

Thanks for another great video boys! That food all looked so yummy. I love the train those yellow seats were so unique. The ice park was cool too!

Truly love following both of you! Both this and your other channel have been extraordinary! This is my daily routine before work now here in Oregon. Coffee and an episode of your shows!

I would love to see you guys try Cajun food from New Orleans one day.

I love you, the video, and the ice design. Tina

Looks like Fluffy puffy ice puffs lol😊🇺🇸Beautiful !!! Thx

Black garlic is my fav!

Such amazing content, both the food and the landscape. Thank you

the food looks yummy

Very nice 👌

Though I should be used to seeing Tokyo's busy areas less crowded nowadays it still shocked me how quiet Ikebukuro is. I have never been to the Seibe side of the station; always the JR or tobu lines mainly. Do you need reservations for this train or can you just buy a ticket just before you want to go? I also never realized that in Saitama in winter you can see this. Saitama being so close to tokyo and tokyo being not that cold in winter. It looks breathtaking! Food looks amazing. But I would have liked the miso sauce came with something else then potato hahaha Wisky ice! I got to try that. I love highballs and used to drink wisky straight :D

great video. mind putting the travel info (route, map) etc. in the description? too bad immi only ships to the US.

I like 👍 thar too can you go back to okinawa again..love your videi ..be safe

the ice is very pretty

Please show us more of Chichiboo(?) not sure of the spelling.

This looked amazing. I am left with a question as I watch this. Is Japan wheelchair accessible?

Like see more area and hot springs

5:18 Damn that looks good😎

Thanks for sharing, may I know how many hours of train ride from Tokyo to chichibu? Can you cover within a day? Where would you recommend the next stop besides Chichibu?

Darn! When you said “plant-based, I was hoping Immi would be gluten free, but they’re not! My husband is celiac, and would give anything for an “instant noodle” dish that he could eat!

Sinichi and satoshi please take good care of yourself whilst YouTubing. Like all of your videos very much.

Satoshi we love you, Is it very cold? Hello from Sydney, Australia

Hi please tell me if Satoshi was an actor in the cast recording the whiskey adverstisement in Lost in Translation. Many thanks

Is Maple Syrup commonly made in Japan? We make a lot of it in New England USA.

Very vert rare!❤️❤️❤️

Omg that train seem so luxurious yet so basic looking lol. Our LRT in Edmonton Alberta is not even close to your train basic standards not fair lol

You’re an awesome 😎 RU-vid channel.

Aloha!!!

Made me very 😃

I feel like almost every Japanese dessert needs to be had with a cup of coffee or tea

How much time is needed at Ashigakubo?
