Thank you so much. I was a student in Otaru University 20 years ago. I feel so happy to see Otaru again virtually.

[@VSV_Japan]

I'm glad to be of your help! 20 years is a long time. I wonder if Otaru has changed a lot since then. Thank you very much for watching! 😄

[@thomasbarsegian3938]

Had a small town feel to it... like the buildings they seemed a little unique compared to other parts of Japan..Great video,enjoyed it Immensely.thanks for great work....

[@VSV_Japan]

When I shot this video, I thought people won't be interested in Otaru as much as Tokyo. But it turned out a lot of people watched it and this video has become one of my most viewed video. I completely underestimated the power of Otaru! 😄

[@IranTourism_official]

I can't thank you enough for allowing me to travel the world without getting out of my apartment. I love watching your videos. : )

@@VSV_Japan Oh, I would like to go back to Sapporo and Otaru but it's not longer possible, I'm 73 and my husband 75 years old , in 2018 he had heart surgery and now his health is not very good. I must tell you thay I love Japan and especially Sapporo and Otaru : my friend lives in Sapporo and she is borned and lived in Otaru for a long time. We correspond since 1968......we was young. We went in 2008 and 2016 and she came in 2007 and 2013 at home. Now I think a lot and I am very sad. Friendships.

He also had a lung surgery in March and now he says he may not be able to go abroad anymore and that makes me really sad. But I keep my hopes up and I hope you do the same. Please stay safe and have happy holidays! (Your comment has reminded me of my father so I will give him a call tonight... 😄)

Wonderful video! My wife and I have traveled through most of the rest of Japan but not Hokkaido - yet. Your tour has stoked our desire to visit this region next! Otaru has a feel similar to our own city, though quieter and cleaner. Greetings from the heart of Canada! And thanks again for the great video!

[@VSV_Japan]

I'm glad you've got interested in Hokkaido! Many people go there during winter festival season but I like it in early summer. Although I missed the best timing, I shot a few more videos in Hokkaido and I hope you liked them too. kzbin.info/aero/PLQZ2EdF3w6Tee79Q_Pf3D3GMN5uF-ijR9 Especially I recommend visiting Furano in late June or early July when lavender fields look really nice. 😄

[@user-mm3ru8vo6q]

@@VSV_Japan I lived in Canada for one year. I found Hokkaido is similar to Canada. Watching the video filmed of the countryside of Hokkaido, it reminded me of Canada.

[@syamsanishamsuri8910]

I was here in January 2019. Visited Otaru canal, Otaru Aquarium and dinner at Donburi Chaya Sakaimachi. Very beautiful scene during winter. I visit here again. Thanks for this video. I miss Hokkaido from Malaysia.

[@VSV_Japan]

Otaru in winter must have looked pretty different from this video. I'd like to visit someday again in winter next time. Thank you very much for watching! 😄

[@ph11p3540]

I am currently listening to this on my tablet without headphones. I really need headphones to get the full sound stage and 3D sound experience. What a clean, immaculate neighborhoods you walked through. Not one blemish on the sidewalk or even small backalley graffiti

[@VSV_Japan]

As for the binaural sound, I think that earphones that come with a smartphone like iPhone sound more realistic than the big ones you put on over your head. I hope you will enjoy the sound too. Thank you very much for watching!

I just searched on the Internet and learned where Yoichi is. Were you born there? It looks like a nice place. I used to live in the US and I know what it feels like to live abroad. I would be happy if my videos can be of any help to you when you miss Japan. Thank you very much for watching! 😄

If in my country if i does this recording will get alot of weird stares from strangers 😂 Japanese have very polite and good manners and is pretty safe hence suitable to do this type of recording ❤️

The dog complaints 2:15 why you didn't cross the street and those elevators at 2:30 are spooky cool. 4:09 spotted pikachu vending machine ( I'm not into Pokemon). Where does the music box sound at 9:16 come from? Is the house at 15:50 with the question mark a info spot? Cute 17:54. That spot with the music seems like an old movie. ☕️ Nice spot 19:55. 20:30 nice wall painting 🌛 the shops are in such nice old houses. Did you get yourself a souvenir?

[@VSV_Japan]

I show this video on my first day in Hokkaido. And I needed to go to Sapporo right after it so I didn't get myself any souvenir at all. In fact, I was busy shooting videos everywhere and I didn't buy any souvenir after all. 😢

[@artfulseoul]

Video Street View Japan Oh no! Well, but the videos and the offline moments you experienced are then your souvenir. And it's a good reason to return their to grab a nice item and make moments to remember without a camera someday. If I would think what to buy I liked those wind chimes , maybe in a blue or chalky green to remember those colors of the city. When I've been somewhere I got pictures and visited some places. But the paradox is , although pictures remind on moments but they seldom can actually replace those experienced. Idk why that is. Maybe because one is focused on taking footage , capture the moment but that even though watched can't truly return. Anyways. For now such footages is the only way I can have a look at such places. So thank you for your effort.

[@artfulseoul]

Watched again. 🤗 23:50 left bottom cats? 24:39 again the black cat on yellow ground, what is that shops name? 25:57 does this shop sign on the right side resemble a cat head? 26:54 moomin

Is it 500¥ per melon 24:51?

[@VSV_Japan]

It says "Today's special. 3 melons" above the box and "¥500+tax" on the box. I'm not sure if it means 3 melons for ¥500. If so, that'll be a great deal! 😄

[@MartialBachoffner]

@@VSV_Japan There is a "myth" that fruits are expensive in Japan. Few months ago, I saw a video about a cherry festival. The price of cherries was higher than here. That being said, the cherries were washed and selected. Here, you buy a bag of cherries, you don't know what you will find inside, and often will have around 30% defect cherries. I prefer to pay more and be sure to have a product of quality.

[@VSV_Japan]

My sister often sends me cherries hand picked in Yamagata and they are gorgeous! This year she hasn't sent me yet so I'm kind of waiting for them... 😄 By the way when I lived in the US, strawberries and apples were pretty sour. Or maybe Japanese ones are too sweet?

[@MartialBachoffner]

@@VSV_Japan it depend on the variety, in France, they are also sweet and some kind of apples are sourer.

I am not sure, but it looks that a total 3 melons in a box cost you 7,800 yen, and 500yen will be additionally charged when you ask for shipping them to your home or to your hotel
