Off the beaten track often shows hidden gems.
Stunningly beautiful
Thx for sharing <3
We used to travel to Hokkaido a lot because my husband is from Hokkaido✈️🗻🌽
I really want to go this place after things settled down😭😭
Such a great video! Thank you!
Hello again. Thank you for the guides I really appreciate it 🙏
Japan guide is a great resource for travel to Japan. I would never have thought about visiting some places without your vlogs. I wish you could add information about public transportation. I don't think you need to add a video but just a maps and some bus or train line info and the stops. Thanks again!
I would love to go. When is Japan going to reopen? It’s killing me.
Raina, what's the name of the hotel you stayed at?
Wonderful! I really enjoyed watching this one.
Great video as always. Thank you for taking us along Raina.
SUPER!!
I would recommend the sea food at Abuta not far from Toyako. Fresh Uni with affordable price.
Yay! Always enjoying your videos. You guys helped me a lot with my travels in Japan. Hope to be soon travelling again there.
Thank you Raina. Your videos are always great but I think this is your best video yet. I visited Noboribetsu in 2019, on a day trip from Sapporo using train and bus. I had read about it on the Japan-Guide website. I did the walk through Jigokudani to the sulphur lake and the foot baths so it was great to see it again in the video. I didn't get to the lakes. I look forward to visiting Hokkaido again after the pandemic. I also look forward to your next video.
After visiting Hell Valley the nearby Oyunuma pond pales in comparison, not worth visiting if your time is budgeted.
Beautiful and interesting, as always. Thank you.
Lovely video!
And just beacuse, TO MUCH VULCANO~!
Why didn't you cover Muroran? It has some pretty views as well.
Can't wait to go back to Japan. There's so much I haven't seen. Thank you.
Thanks for showing us these lovely places I’ve been to in the past. So many good memories. I visited Hokkaido very frequently, usually in the summer cos it’s nice and cool in Hokkaido. I can’t wait to go again. 😭😭😭
I love hiking, but it's too bad Sapporo is quite far from where I live, Ibaraki-ken. Great video! (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*
I’ve stayed more than 4 nights in the Shikotsu and Toya regions and it is fantastic!
I thought the devils placed “nightclubs” around, how nice of them!!
good and informative as always. Thanks.
Hey, great choice of music, especially in the intro!
As a natural science student I always dream to visit volcanic areas and my two days in Hokkaido in 2019 couldn't give me everything I needed (yet), but thanks for giving detailed itinerarys as always and provide the best information!
One thing have I realized however, thinking back to my trip in 2019: When traveling domestically Japan, I would not use a car or a plane. Not just, because I don't have an (international) drivers license, but also for the sake of environment and sustainable mobility. I don't know if there are more people like me here, but I would absolutely looove to hear how to get to the sights of your videos by public transport (shinkansen and local trains) – let's say from Tokyo or by rental bike from the next town (if available). Because the thing I remember from Japan is, that it's super difficult to find information on that if you don't speak the language. Plus it might be inspiring some fellow travelers to travel more sustainably!
But even if you don't have the capacity to include those information or it just doesn't pay off – I'll be happy to continue watching your awesome content forever!
Awesome ❤️❤️
The views are really amazing…💜
Your vlogs are so peaceful and beautiful.. the video quality is also amazing 🔥
Love from India 🇮🇳
That's the place where I belong, my natural environment and it's calling me. I already consulted your website for my 1st trip to Japan. Next year I will go for sure in Hokkaido, then I'll spend half a week in Tokyo and then I'll go to Kagoshima and Miyakojima. Thank you for your guide, I really appreciate it.
I follow you guys from 2 years and i think this channel deserves minimum million subs.
As always stunning video and great content
You are early!
They got the first snow of the year yesterday 😅
If am not wrong….. it’s yesterday or maybe two days ago😅😅😅
nice guide. i wanna go to Hokkaido.
Your music choices in this vlog is so beautiful! Really makes the scenes come to life even more! 🙂
The aerial views are fantastic!! I wish I lived closer to the amazing geography of Japan
