She's so beautiful

I love the sky lights from Asia

Is there a co-ed area where men and women and both congregate? If so, is there a pair of shorts and a tee shirt provided?

I am also disabled person but I want to come Japan because l love anime and the people in Japan ❤one day l will 😢❤😊

note; I think I remember seeing all three of these places for sale on different fudoyasan web sites. I have to wonder if Karuizawa is still the summer place to go. Just a feeling but I think that Karuizawa has outpriced itself since Covid. I had been looking for a second house for a few years and obviously Karuizawa was one of the first places I looked. Watching the various fudoyashan websites and reaching out to several fudoyasan companies and visiting Karuizawa many times over the last three years + I have seen the prices drastically increase. This also becomes apparent when you try to get a loan for a house and the banks will give you a very small percentage of the price. THe value of Karuizawa seems to be a bit overblown. Also I dont think its as cool there now as it was 10 years ago. It used to indeed be a place you could go to to escape the heat of Tokyo but now while it is indeed cooler than Tokyo it still gets pretty hot there to the point that you don't want to be outside on some days. Within the last 6 months or so I have started to see prices come down a bit for real estate in Karuizawa but there are still a lot of people giving it the old college try putting up 20 year old houses for 3 oku en. Also the american style houses are all pretty much made by the same company log resort or something like that. They usually sell their houses fully furnished. turn key type of thing. Something about them just isnt my style though....

Ils sont un peu psychorigides.😅

Best way to go to the Onsen is to visit directly from your construction job while your mussels are still sore. Walk in and yell bonsai while cannon balling center Onsen. Then after all the grime loosens and adds a rich color, position yourself directly under the water fall for a cool relaxing flow of mineral water. If that doesn't make you new friends, offer to tell some really funny racially charged Japanese jokes to let them know you are now one big happy community and you fit right in. Don't forget to snap a wet towel on a behind or two back at the shower room.

I love recipes where every family has their own variation, it really gives you a look into the tastes of each family! Great video!! ❤

Onsen is so relaxing - especially outdoor, natural hot sulfur spring. Americans take some time to get used to being naked in public but it's very natural and lovely once I got used to it. Beautiful ancient Japanese tradition.

Akko is so cute!!! Love videos with her in them

Being super super short even by Japanese standards makes Japanese houses way less dangerous for me... in fact, I almost feel like a *normal* height!

That hidden lavalier is so well hidden, and has the best sound here IMO. Second best is MKH8060. The Sennie isn’t cheap though.

Yout original Video Tokyo by Bike got me so hooked and I often had it in mind when I visualized that I someday will ne visiting this fabolous country! Thank you for your vlogs and insights in the culture. Arigatou gozaimasu

You keep saying "hello world", you must be a software guy. I am just kidding. I wish I found your channel before my trip to Japan. Thanks.

He mentioned working with a case worker. Is this person a government official that helps you for free? Or are they a private service that you have to hire out?

Thank you for the great edit. I am Korean, after watching this video I got kinda frustrated. Because the working environment is almost same in Korea. I wanted to change my career to Japan but it wouldn’t be a big shot… I thought Japan is much better than Korea

I’m coming to Tokyo next week for nearly a month. Do you do any tours or anything like that? I love your videos! Also… how did you stabilise this video, what equipment did you use? A smartphone and some sort of gimbal?

I could be wrong but I believe that in 2011 there was no charge to give up American citizenship. Now the U.S.A. government charges an exorbitant fee--over 2,000 U.S. dollars--to renounce citizenship. Isn't that absolutely ridiculous? One good point about giving up American citizenship is that you are no longer required to file U.S. taxes. Fabulous interview here.

Is the ramen shop still operating?

Wish I bought a fancy rice cooker back when I used to be crypto rich. Oh well...one day soon!

I am in Japan and it is exactly as you say! People take pride here in their jobs.

This is quality content. Deserves more views!

I had hoped to see what a disability income would be like for those who can't work, or can only do at home work on a part time basis & can't afford all the costs of living alone...

This is a wonderful area and it certainly is inspiring to see how Daiki-san is making the most of the location. I wish him great success in the future with his endeavors and pray that this town gets the uplift it needs.

This was super informative! Thank you for explaining the onsen step by step!

That sound @ 0:24 would drive me bonkers and is totally unnecessary.

I'm from Hawaii and my family loves the cheap rice cookers because they're easier to clean. If you want to keep rice hot and moist for a long time the expensive rice cookers are better a keeping the cooked rice fresh. But the cheap $20 rice cookers cook faster.

I really enjoyed it!❤

Hi, thanks for taking the time fir this vid, really useful.

I just picked up one of the new zojirushi rice cookers as our previous (super cheap generic brand) died in the last month or so. I would classify the NW-QAC10 as a mid-high range? on purpose did not get the pressure variant mostly i didn't see the point, and i wanted the flexibility being able to open without dealing with pressure? not sure why i want that yet but i imagine i thought i might add some random ingredient at the late stage (probably not in practise). super happy with the new rice cooker, comparing to the old $30 (canadian) generic, its way better (for $450 it better be...) and we don't lose any rice on the bottom end with the new one... happyyyyyyyyyyy... i'm rather surprised i never considered rice age before seeing this video, i never paid attention to that in store.. its just "rice" (jasmine, sushi, white.. etc) until now, now i have a new thing to watch out for, shin-mai / ko-mai / koko-mai.. after i learn the symbols for it

I really enjoyed this video. Would really love for you to do a similar video in a different neighborhood. It was very relaxing to watch.

There's a lot of accidental Americans out there. haha... That cracked me up.

IHS rice cookers absolutely make a difference and make the rice taste better. There are also models higher than this that include pressure as well, I have not tried these yet so can't confirm if they are worth more than the IHS rice cookers. Recommended Brand (Zojorushi). Cookers: -------------- Cheap Cooker (less than $100usd)- There is no reason to buy anything but cheap rice for a cheap rice cooker, it will just ruin expensive rice. Moderate Cooker ($100-$300)- This seems to be the sweet spot, the IHS cookers are at the higher end of the "moderate" cooker, but will have a noticeable impact on your rice and it is absolutely worth getting good quality rice with this cooker. The texture will be perfect, and the flavour will be drawn out, and the Aroma will fill the air with this type of cooker. Expensive Cooker ($300+)- These will make the perfect rice, but it is unclear to me at this point if it is noticeably better than the Moderately priced rice cookers which can do an exceptional job already. The Texture, Flavour, and Aroma are all noticeably better in the Moderate and above cookers. These cookers will typically include the IHS features as well as being Pressurized cookers. Note that even though these cookers use pressure, it does not actually reduce the cooking time. I suspect the pressure is simply a way to help better control the moisture content in your rice. Rice: -------- Cheap Rice - will not be made significantly more flavourful by using a good rice cooker, it will be cooked perfectly, but you cannot fix cheap rice with an expensive cooker, it will have a better texture, but not likely a better flavour or aroma since it had neither to begin with. Expensive Rice - will be noticeably better in a good rice cooker than a bad rice cooker. Note: Don't listen to people who say the rice can be kept on warming mode for a week. While technically true, it will start to take on a metallic taste within about 48 hours. For the best results, I would not recommend keeping it in a warming state for more than 24 hours. If you have anything left at that point (usually we don't), then simply put it in the fridge like you would normally and reheat later if desired.

Japan's barrier-free movement began in earnest in the 2000s. It began not for people with disabilities, but to prepare for an aging society. If Japan's barrier-free system was for people with disabilities, it would have been in place since the last century. Although the employment rate for people with disabilities is low in Japan, the country relies on foreigners to fill the labor shortage. Japan does not value its own workers.

Location?

Lovely video! Aloha 😊🤙🏼👏🏼

I love this video so much. it was a pleasure to watch with all reactions but it included really useful information for rice lovers like myself. Thank you!

I miss Koiwa so much.

my gf hate you!! i love you!!! <3333

I am sorry, I do not mean to offend. I really liked your main channel several years ago when when the style was more like a documentary about life and living in japan, but for the past few years your channel has felt more like a travel channel show for tourists. I find my self becoming less intrested in the channel and no longer feeling like "I can't wait for the next episode to come out!" it does not feel as engaging as it once did. I really enjoyed the pices about helping the homeless, what it was like in the schools, and other episodes about integrating in to Japanese culture. You do put out a lot of effort, and crate high quality shows. you are a very skilled and talented with your video work. Please keep making and ill keep watching for another year still.

White rice tastes the same.. What this people are talking about is just the texture

That's great. Let's discuss our options while testing so not to influence others options.

"Cold rice is better" Never in my life 😅

It's a lot less scary renouncing your US citizenship when you have a Japanese citizenship and you can go back and visit your family without getting a visa.

If you an elderly Japanese with physical disabilities they treat you like a king or queen.

Thank you for this video. I recently travelled to Japan (I have a disability) and it was more accessible than I thought it would be (at least in Tokyo). By far, it is more accessible than the United States, where I live.

Helper is so nice, very respecting.
