Akita: Japan's Onsen Paradise

So, this was the most beautiful place we've been to in Japan, we think. Nyuto Onsen, especially Tsurunoyu Onsen, was an experience like we've never had before, and it's something we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Go visit Akita if you have the chance. It'll blow you away.

I have watched a lot of onsen trip videos. This...this is next level stuff. The intimacy and detail shared is amazing and really enamors a person to want to go to the area and experience the onsen serenity. Seriously, JNTO really needs to get in touch with you stat.

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Absolutely agree with you here! It was a great to watch!

[@TeriyakiDior]

They also brought back their old intro!! Ahhh! Only the OGs know! Lol

[@katlandreth6430]

I want to grow old with you guys. I would watch your videos forever.

[@Midnight0Mistress]

Same, I can't imagine my life without them.

[@BeccaBasilisk]

I couldn't agree more this exact sentiment!!

[@Kosherart]

The video with the Halloween Starbucks drinks was bad camera and sound and you two complaining about being old. It was delightful regardless of the issues. Now you give us this beautifully shot, informative, playful, etc. video and it was also delightful. The common denominator is you two - you make the videos fun and enjoyable with your humor and knowledge while rolling with the punches. Honestly, I thought I would have to behave very seriously at an onsen but you two made this fun, like bar hopping but with semi-nudity, relaxing, and drinking milk. Autumn is my favorite season and this just looked like heaven to me. I am starting to love Simon's OH HELLO whenever he sees a dog and the dog sees him too. That needs to be a ringtone or something. And I will now have Hips Don't Lie stuck in my head for a while with 'Shakira Shakira' replaced with 'Akita Akita'. THANKS, MARTINA.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Well gosh. This comment just made my day 😊

[@Kosherart]

@@eatyourkimchi And your response made my day! We are even then.

I highy agree!! And when Martina put her face on Simon hand but it was meant for a High Five lol I felt that.. That's how I feel every morning hahaha

I geeked on the intro...I'm an old nasty. I like the classics.

[@idraote]

Colours of the Wind from Pocahontas... I know it by heart. I love rural Japan, it's so incredibly beautiful. Of course in the cities you have all the life, the places to go, etc., but the countryside is so remote and there are few people... it seems like another country!

[@DelphineSerenity]

Rewatching this now, as my partner and I are literally sitting on the shinkansen from Akita to Tazawako station, about to indulge in the same adventure! It's our 10 year anniversary of being together, and we decided to come to Japan for the first time for it (3.5 weeks, from Melbourne, we've wanted to come since we were little kids watching anime in the 90's 😍) and to celebrate the actual anniversary, do the Akita nyutou onsen hopping with a stay in the Taenoyu ryokan! So excited and thanks again guys for an awesome video and introducing this magical onsen paradise to us 😊

[@TheSpiritOfTheWest]

how was your trip and where didyou stay?

[@philophobiagirl18]

I have been stressed out for a few months now. But every time I see your guys videos I relax and breath. The editing makes me calm. Thank you 😊.

[@moonbeaming]

So beautiful!!! All the colors and the water sounds are just so relaxing. I am seeing Japan with new eyes.

[@devilishdiamond]

I can not believe how gorgeous it is!

[@TheHoneyxsenpai]

Ahhhhh hearing the old intro music made me so happy!!! This video was shot so beautifully to but the intro just brought back so many memories. It's so great seeing how you guys have grown in your video style.

Finally got to watch this after one hell of a long day.. Worth it Absolutely gorgeous..you two never let me down

[@amberlynmonroe]

I might just be on my period, but I teared up several times during this video, it's just so beautiful! It's my dream to experience something like this

[@allison7415]

Same girl! 😭 I just appreciate Simon and Martina so much. Their videos are def amazing and just shows how much they love each other ❤️❤️❤️

The fact that you both manage to fit in not only the beauty, elegance and culturally interesting details of everywhere you go. You also pair it with endearing humour and your quirky and fun personalities that we all love. I've been watching you two for years, however it still blows my mind how enjoyable your content is.

[@tamargoren4776]

this was so beautiful, by the end of it I had tears in my eyes. In Portuguese there is a word for what I felt: "Saudade", a deep feeling of nostalgia mixed with melancholy, This video took me back to my trip to Japan and all the onsens I visited alone by myself. the feeling is sad but also full of happiness and gratefulness that I was able to experience that. In that sense your videos are the only ones that touch me like that time after time, so thank you for that!

[@eatyourkimchi]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful word and story!

[@nicoled4416]

So to be honest I haven’t had the best day today, but I started watching this video, you guys made me laugh, and now I feel better. Thanks for making me smile 😁

[@bambimonroe3336]

I love all your videos but this one in particular was just the right amount of everything between comedy, helpful tips and scenic views it was beautifully put together ❤️

[@AnnaDominiqueJ]

The intro is a major throw back!!! I had to pause and check if this was a new video or one of the old ones!!

[@laurenwalke846]

This was all the snuggly fall vibes. Love watching you two together and thanks for the laughs. This is my favorite video yet!

[@annakhn96]

Colors of the wind - from the movie pocahontas. Love it and it is so fitting. This was beautiful to watch. I'm glad Simon convinced Martina to go on that trip. You guys looked like you were enjoying it sooooo much, I am happy you got to make that experience.

Finally found time to sit and comment on this amazing video! I was so excited for this video cause I adore Bath culture in Japan. The idea of soaking to relax not to wash is just right up my alley. Seeing these beautiful onsen, in Autumn, which probably haven't changed drastically over the years they have been running gives me this warm feeling, especially looking at the ones that still have the wooden ceilings! Ah! This must of been a magical relaxing time, and thank you so much for sharing it with us so that in future we your subscribers can get to feel it too! I am already keeping a list of things to do in Japan on my next trip that you guys make videos on cause if Simon and Martina can do it; most likely I can too!

[@Niennanoo]

YES I love that you've brought the old format into this! You guys are the reason I'm moving to Korea so this nostalgia is everything!

[@planetenbummler]

I just got an ad for headphones and the woman wearing them was singing Hips Don't Lie by Shakira... Shakira𝅘𝅥𝅮~. Beautifully shot, well made, a topic I never might have heard of and nice people. Well Done Simon and Martina!

[@JCXP123]

I can definitely say that this is the video that made me the happiest. From the WANK/FAPFAP intro & music to the beauty of the onsen and it's surroundings, it was like throwback to korea but in Japan and the nostalgia made me so happy ♡

[@MaikasCookingShorts]

I love these episodes and I love you guys!

[@christineteresawallenborn8337]

Thank you for you wonderful video!! I had been researching mixed bathing onsen for our honeymoon for quite a while and was really glad that I stumbled across your video. Inspired by it my husband and I actually went to visit the Nyūtō Onsen area in Akita last October. It was absolutely amazing :) We stayed for three nights at Kuroyu Onsen, which I can highly recommend! The staff at the Ryokan was very friendly and the food was awesome. The first day we soaked in our own Rhyokan's onsen, the second day we did onsen hopping and the third day we went hiking. On the way to the top of Mt. Nyūtō there is aktually a small onsen in the woods which you can use for free :) It does not get any more scenic than this! If anyone happens to visit Tsurunoyu Onsen, have an onsen tamago (onsen egg) there. They are quite different than other onsen eggs and were the most delicious eggs I have ever tasted in my life! Last but not least: Apart from bringing some snacks in case you get hungry late at night, I would recommend bringing enough cash, because the next ATM is a 45 minute ride away. Having written this, I wanna go there again! :)

[@shieldsfamily3709]

the song is from Disney's pocahontas, love it, so happy yall had a good time

Wow! You also went to Tsuru no Yu Onsen! I also had my friend of Akita take me from Tokyo. That Onsen is wonderful for Japanese people too!

[@shitonyourtoothbrush]

man this looks freaking amazing. hope you guys had an awesome time!

[@alexlogan4151]

Colors of the wind from Pocahontas! Great song!

[@jazzminb]

I wonder if there were any short term benefits to Martina's aches as a result of soaking in the warm onsen waters? Also are there any benefits to the skin? Or is it just something relaxing to do?

[@eatyourkimchi]

My joints felt great! Each onsen has different types of minerals in the water that is supposed to help different things. I thought it was great for circulation and helping me stay less inflamed and the floating sensation took so much pain off my body. I really enjoyed myself.

[@jazzminb]

@@eatyourkimchi I'm really glad to hear that!!! Thank you for letting me know :)

You guys are (sheep sound) hilarious! Thank you for the beautiful shots of the onsens and I just love the fun connection you two have as a couple. Have been wanting to go to Japan for ever and it's like we get to see bits of it with you guys!:) Big fan from Ottawa, Canada

We've been together since grade 9 of high school, eachothers first and only relationship) and we knew we wanted to try an Onsen and traditional inn experience - this looks like the perfect way to do it!
