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! 😄

[@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]

Thank you so much for your compliment and watching my video! 😄

[@Rudirud]

That were exactly my thoughts! Thank you!

[@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! 😄

[@nwaikikai]

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. 😄

[@奥津勝平]

@@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.

[@josianebarrat8902]

I visit Sapporo and Otaru (during festival ) in june 2016; I am very happy to see them .... full of memories. Thanks from France.

[@VSV_Japan]

Oh you went there in winter? It must have looked nice in snow. But summer time is nice too. Please come visit again when you get a chance! Thank you very much for watching! 😄

[@josianebarrat8902]

@@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.

[@VSV_Japan]

@@josianebarrat8902 My father is about the same age as you and your husband. He loves traveling abroad but he had to cancelled everything this year. 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... 😄)

[@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! 😄

[@lifewithdenandmeg]

I often see Otaru during winter, nice to see this place in a different season.

[@VSV_Japan]

At first I kind of regretted that I didn't shoot videos in winter but now I'm relieved and glad you said so. Thank you very much for watching! 😄

[@lifewithdenandmeg]

I really really love Japan especially Hokkaido. Been there three times since and all winter. If only we can travel this year maybe we already booked there again.

[@lifewithdenandmeg]

Also, I have a personal video of my walking tour in Otaru in winter season.

[@VSV_Japan]

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! 😄

[@Rogi-pu9oy]

Otaru is just perfect for me ,it is amazing 👏 🤩

[@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!

[@lilosenju7796]

Otaru just stole my heart 😭 the clean n quite enviroments, the unique buildings just i wouldnt get tired walking for hours just to enjoy the atmosphere there. if the sky lil bit friendly, itd be such perfect evening walk there. thanks man 🇯🇵❤️

Love the video miss Otaru alot been here during February 2020 during winter, looks very different during different season ya. Keep it up man and stay safe. By the how do you setup? 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 ❤️

[@VSV_Japan]

I may be getting weird stares from strangers on the street too but I'm just too focused on shooting videos to notice them... If you pause my videos when the camera passes by people, you will see people are actually staring at the camera.😄 Thank you very much for watching!

[@ariesSee]

😂 😂 😂

[@artfulseoul]

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.

[@奥津勝平]

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
