AIZU, FUKUSHIMA! Samurai training, Lover’s Cat Station, local food, Ouchijuku EPISODE 2 [日本語CC]

[@sabrinahsu9567]

this is so interesting - are we able to do all those activities at the samurai school too??

[@heratlas]

YES!!!!! They would love for you to go and try them!!!

[@haruse4921]

会津に住んでいる日本人です 素敵なビデオありがとうございます！ 自分の生活しているところがとてもいつもより美しく見えました！

[@Lisallamaa]

The way she clapped when you were practicing your calligraphy 😭 that positive reinforcement lol

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

Omg, I'm so happy that you introduce us to Aizuwakamatsu for many reasons. One is that I think it's in the countryside of Japan where hidden gems are still sleeping. Secondly, it's in Fukushima, where sadly, there's a lot of negative image about the prefecture due to the nuclear accident. I'm glad you had fun there!!!!

[@heratlas]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the Fukushima (AIZU) series! parts of it have a dark history, but it really has amazing hidden gems waiting to be discovered. I agree with you so much! Thank you for watching - we hope you visit soon ❤️❤️

[@heratlas]

WELCOME TO AIZU! Such a STUNNING area to explore... we hope to see each of you in Japan VERY SOON!!! Where should we go next???

[@nourad2155]

This reminded me of Our Man in Japan by James May on prime! I love it so much.

[@bernadinepena5243]

Great job! Soo beautiful and interesting. Thankyou I want some mochi 😋

[@jaysonic9]

This was beautiful. I’ve always loved the look of traditional Japanese homes and I love the countryside, I feel like it never truly gets enough love from foreigners visiting Japan for how beautiful it truly is. All you ever really hear people who’ve visited talk about is the big city districts, hotels and shrines.

[@dashagagliardo7169]

Really impressed with your ability to shoot a bow and arrow!

[@Belegtesbrot14]

Literally feels like being on vacation in a ghibli movie, so magical ✨

[@jalmoza5]

All I gotta say is that the vet should come to the cat, rather than the other way around. VIP baby lol

[@heratlas]

AGREED!!!!!

[@GregTourville]

懐かしいよ。

[@japanwalk8904]

紹介ありがとうございます！ 会津若松と長岡は戊辰戦争の仲間です😌 歴史の中で会津若松と長岡のきずなは強く太いものがある😤 是非長岡にも☺️

[@kimryan945]

Haha! I was literally cringing for you when I saw you using your right hand.. I knew it wasn't by choice. 😊 You are a great sport, Caitlin! What a great video. I want to go here!

[@ewoeifvd]

Thank you so much for introducing Aizuwakamatsu. I used to visit Japan once or twice a year so I really miss it😭 Can’t wait to be able to visit again and explore new destinations.

[@marlification]

Japan is definitely number 1 on my list to travel to once restrictions from New Zealand are lifted :) I have been there before and I miss it so much!

[@rawlife3575]

aizuwakamatsu was the only place that made me feel like I was in the samurai era when I was in Japan. A city full of history. Tsuruga-jo, Ryozen Jinja, Aizubukeyashiki and Nishinkan.. Wandering around was like time travel for me. Aren't they great places?🙂🙏

[@ginawilkolak7492]

LOL CLASSIC CAITLIN with that face after trying the plum seaweed drink. 😂😂😂 On a serious note, I’m loving the music and voiceovers included with the more typical type of a vlog!

[@thegalacticzoologist]

aaahhh I'm obsessed with the station cat! It's so cute with all its portraits and stuff. Those samurai lessons also look like a ton of fun. I would love to do something like that if I get to go to Japan again.

[@daily.leelee]

Loved the video! It was so beautiful!

[@SamFournier]

Wow! What a wonderful trip. I loved the men on the train, I loved how kind and cheerful they were. It looked like such an amazing experience with all the samurai classes! I can’t wait to visit Japan♥️

[@rickaw6819]

Your voice when speak so peaceful and attractive. Hope to see you in person and chichat. 💐

[@dianebaker5243]

Everything looks beautiful. Happy for you have a pass for the classes you showed us.Ho and the CAT 🐈 had gone to the vets 🤣👍☃️🎄

[@subtleimbroglio]

I wish we had random hot foot baths. That looks so relaxing 😌

[@會津藩校日新館]

Thanks for your visit to our samurai school! Calligraphy, tea ceremony, and archery, your skills are excellent! You are great samurai. We wish see you again someday in Aizuwakamatsu!

[@wolvesandwaterfalls]

Your videos are always my favorite way to wind down in the evenings! Love this series in particular 🙌

[@k2motors93]

I live here since two year but I never seen such a beautiful places please next time guide us 😊 👍

[@ddrianaa]

Ooooo this is so amazing!!!! Looks like you had such a lovely time!!

[@koppamijinko]

大内宿のねぎそばは日本人でも食べるの苦労しますからね。ナイストライです。

[@MurphyColeman]

Thank you Caitlin for sightseeing in a lot of locations on behalf of me!!:) Despite being a Japanese, I don't travel so frequently or experience traditional events(In addition, I am not good at using chopsticks...lol). Thanks to your excellent and exciting videos, I can learn with joy about Japanese traditional architecture such as shrines and temples, feeling like I travel with you. Above all things, I was moved by your vitality. How great of you to do whatever you can do proactively! XD

[@lethucele7403]

Such a beautiful vlog. I wish it were longer.

[@rosecancen]

Love that train ride... The view 😍😍

[@zoiekline5515]

Loved it 😇

[@FrymanJack]

I found you from Currently Hannah's channel. I love this!

[@emilygarwood1373]

The city hall made me think of the movie Back to the Future.

[@eekdageek]

Wow, amazing video! Definitely want to check out this area next time I’m in Japan!!!

[@empresshemmalaya1802]

I remember seeing those guys on your Instagram! So much fun!

[@kikigomez1458]

So beautiful!!!

[@justakodakcameralover7128]

What an amazing video! I’m so happy that you introduced Aizu cuz it’s my hometown!!! 🥺❤️

[@bonbonandpumpkin2463]

Aizu Wakamatsu is included on my next itinerary , but it is rarely covered by anyone , and I’ve never seen it in this detail, so thank you 😊. How did you get around - are there ways of getting around using public transport? Such a beautiful place 💕

[@dothetwist298]

There are two tourist buses that follow the most popular route. You can also use usual city buses. Car would be your best option but I don't drive, so I always use the bus or a taxi when I go there. If you want to travel FROM Aizuwakamatsu to another town in the Aizu region, then you just use the train. But note that depending on the area the number of trains might be scarce (one train per hour). Ouchijuku is a 40min ride from Aizuwakamatsu.

[@lynaeratzell2541]

I was going to go in Jan. Had to cancel due to rona 😢

[@trulyjourneys9379]

楽しそう、旅に出たい🚅

[@celineleclercq11]

I love this series! It feels like travelling again 😍 I really appreciate and love how respectful you always are with such ease. It doesn’t feel forced. And you explain everything so well. Love from Belgium :)

[@Fox2-Videos]

You where my teacher in 7th grade at Iwakuni Middle. I was looking through my subscriptions and wondering who you where. I remember you were telling me about having a KZbin career, and one of my videos actually hit 100k after I followed your advice. And also it's cool that you have 150k subs.

[@nicagerona59]

Pandesal and brewed coffee!! Great combo

[@franklinthewoman]

I'm a bit late but I really enjoyed this little series! I've seen that negi soba before but I forgot where it came from lol. looking forward to seeing where you'll go next!

[@etherdog]

Caitlin, nice trip! Aizu has hosted a lot of JTubers recently, so it is nice to see your take on it. What was the music at around 13:45? It sounded a lot like a piece I heard on the Akita Inaka School channel, from Takenobu.

[@deantase2907]

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay here in Aizu 🤍 btw, I'm from Philippines living here in Aizu. Happy Holidays! 🎄

[@leslienakagawa8747]

Such an amazing adventure!

[@cristinaalexe7454]

Loved your Aizu series

[@balarila99]

We are going to Aizu-Wakamatsu early November and find your two episodes on this place very informative. We plan to take that that Oza-Toro train to Ouchi Juku and To No Hetsuri. Would you know of an English online site where we can book tickets?

[@skyea418]

sooo fun wish i can visit

[@Ranerdar]

Fellow lefty here. I felt that awkward grip when switching to the right hand.

[@StylinAzn]

Please do a collaboration video with Oriental Pearl 🙏🙏🙏

[@WhitakersWay]

hi came over from sundai loves channel :) watching from Japan as well here in Okinawa have you been here ?

[@anushkajamal]

that guy dragging his feet to walk really got me laughing!

[@heratlas]

It’s part of the ceremony.. :/ not to be laughed at

[@anushkajamal]

@@heratlas only if i knew why he did that. Maybe then it would not seem funny 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kirseitis]

The calligraphy - i studied a little bit chinese and we also did that. I am still wondering HOW ppl remember the correct order of drawing all the lines in all the letters/words

[@sarajulianaroseromedina7309]

OFF COURSE YOU’LL REPEAT DE FOOT BATH 💀 💀 TIRED FOOTING HUH? 😈
