Natasha- if u r still editing all this stuff,,,u r a star. The editing is so good...all the personable stuff u keep in is what makes these great to watch. There are so many travel vids,,,the personality is what separates them. Just simple sh*t like you slipping out of your "presenter voice" into your comfortable accent,, Emma creepin' on the rocks...the magical intro...all that stuff is gold.👍
What did you think of our 2 Kumano City videos? It was out first time there and we can't wait to visit again! :-) PS: For everyone asking, here is the original Kumano song used in the opening! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bIW7rDYC_ws.html
Keep up the cool-weather travel, keep up the mysterious out-of-the-way spots and keep Natasha away from Jizo shrines to avoid unnecessary edits. Good job. Keep it up.
I loved both videos. Very informative, beautiful, fun, active and blue. I would of felt the same about the pebbles. Thanks for the tour! 🚴🌊🐻 Good job ladies! 😊
I absolutely loved them! They made me really want to visit Kumano City when i get to japan! I would have to be a full on critic to find anything worth complaining about in your videos😊 Even trying to find something off (just to help give an outside view) I could only find a couple points where there was wind or waves getting picked up in the mics, and that's just a little bit of audio editing to fix up so really it's not worth mentioning until it gets bad. I love that the videos you guys make are always such a great quality! Thank you so much for the work you all do!
I knew the Kumano theme tune would resurface....but I never imagined in such a sweeping cinematic and regal manner with that emotionally charged intro. I was def swept away by the majesty....the intrigue....the (bro)mance.
You guys have such good chemistry and should do more travel videos together. I think as far as info, you have a lovely balance between tourist stuff and local Japanese things. Hoping to get to japan one day in the future.
i was a rafting guide there, and sometime i enjoy kayaking there. it was very beautiful place! and in the night i can see a lot of stars! i am living in OSAKA,but i love KUMANO!
Kumano certainly is a hidden gem of a destination among the Japanese and visitors/expats alike! I've been there about 10 years ago and it was amazing, although you've got to be extra careful making sure you check out the train timetable there since the last train was super early like 5pm, unless you're planning to rent a car.
Kumano is strangely hard to get to from Osaka... It's probably 100-120Km 'straight-line', but it's just not that easy! Your best bet is to Shinkanzen BACK to Nagoya (about 45mins from memory) on the Nozomi, then head back towards Kumanoshi (3hr 15min to 3hr 30mins) on the Nanki Limited Express Kii-Katsuura. As someone who loves Osaka over Tokyo, its one of those places that is actually really hard to get there, where as most other stuff, that is farther away feels so close. Hiroshima is 1hr 30min, Kyoto is 12-14mins, Nara is 1hr, Tokyo was less than 2hrs 30mins. You can even be in Nagano faster than Kumanoshi. But if you're in Osaka and have a Car - woah! The Drive there alone is worth it. Again, don't expect to do the 170Km in record time (its over 3hrs), but there is tunnels and gorges and this stunning river that parallels the road, and an underground tunnel that takes you for a full 360degrees, then bridges and lakes and etc... The drive is an unknown, hidden gem!
3:23 Natasha! Please don't take your seat belt off for a better 2 shot! Yup, my paternal instincts are on full tilt rn. I just don't want anything bad to happen to you.
Yes, the Kumano region is really beautiful. I've been there many, many times. I wouldn't say it's less known, especially the Kumano Kodo is well known even among foreign tourists and there are always tons of buses full with tourists along the Kumano Sanzan, but apart from that it's a chilled and beautiful area. I personally especially love Shirahama. I've walked a lot of the Kumano Kodo, but never in one go. ;P
The constant wearing of red and yellow clothing is something you talk about, or just a big coincidence? And is always a deeper tone of red, going a bit to the burgundy side, and mustard-ish tone of yellow.
man this was dope and all the vistas blew me away I actually took a liking to the Lion's Rock even though it looked more like an eagle to me but it was beautiful nonetheless
The reason why the beach sand around Tokyo looks dark is it's made from volcanic rocks. Of course there are many white (granite, coral, etc.) sand beaches in Japan. And the sand of Shirarahama beach in Wakayama located near Kumano Kodo was imported from the Australian desert!
Hi! Happy to have stumbled across this channel. Any info on the song at the opening? I have that melody stuck in my head and would love to hear more if there's a place to listen.
@@atarame9913 the TC vids are always a good wind down after a night of hard drinking. It's a weird rhythm I've gotten into on my Saturday nights... probably not the healthiest either! Yikes.
Kumano keeps putting ads on RU-vid for me but the ads are 4:3 and look straight up like a VHS video or like they've used the same video since the 80s :D You did a great job parodying that
Hey Emma, is it "disrespectful" to not bow before entering a shrine? I had not seen people bowing before entering a shrine, only bowing when praying. This is the first video I've ever seen that. I know many things aren't a requirement, especially for foreigners, but I want to respect every custom as much as I can when I'm in Japan. I entered 2 temples while there last and did not bow and I feel very bad now? Is it disrespectful to the god of the temple?
Not necessarily. Last December, I traveled from Hida Takayama to Gifu City before heading to Nagoya. I stayed 1 night at Nagoya before flying home from Chubu Centrair airport. From what I heard from other tourists, many of them like me, travel from Hida Takayama to Nagoya and stay a night or two in Nagoya before flying off from Chubu airport. Nagoya also has a Dome concert venue so people going Nagoya for concerts would stay a night or two there too. I've been to Nagoya twice, my first being a day trip from Osaka and the other was the recent 1 night and honestly, there wasn't much sightseeing places that interested me. That doesn't mean they will not interest you though. But the food is awesome! They're famous for hitsumabushi (eel rice bowl eaten in multiple ways), miso katsu (pork cutlet with miso sauce), kishimen (noodles), tebasaki (chicken wings), tenmusu (tempura shrimp in a rice ball), miso nikomi (udon in a miso broth) and ogura toast (red bean paste and butter on toast). So I spent most of my time shopping for souvenirs and eating when I was in Nagoya.
