Autumn in rural Japan. Leaf viewing at Kikko Park and Kintai Bridge, Iwakuni's famous landmarks!

Happy belated (??) Autumn! I swear the leaves fell as fast as they could this year. I hope you enjoy walking around Kikko Park with me, Gus-Gus, and baby Atlas. WHEN (not if... because WHEN) you visit Japan or move here, I hope you get a chance to see Kikko Park and our beloved Kintai-Kyo (Kintai bridge). It's so beautiful in every season.. I wish I lived a little closer because I come here to walk around all the time.

It warms my heart so much that you want to make sure Gus is included. ❤

The old ladies all hanging out with each other on the bench 😭 what a beautiful moment to capture

Fun Fact: Ginkgo tree are the most ancient species of trees still alive today! There are fossils of ginkgo leaves that date 200 million years old. We have one on my college campus and a few on the streets near the campus. They are so BEAUTIFUL!

Baby Atlas seems so chill. 🥹

[@MzKimboSlice]

So happy to see you on my feed! 😊 You look so radiant - such a happy lil momma 💕

[@tadogawa4715]

I had a similar dog. Same color black and white pitbull. A good dog!

[@ankitabanerjee584]

this has to be one of my favourite video of yours!

[@fuyukifrost808]

I treasure these videos so much now that they come to rarely and i've watched all the old ones🥲🥰🥰🥰 Every video is so calming and fun to watch😁😁😁thank you❣❣❣❣❣

[@heratlas]

Glad you like them! I have so many more coming now that I have a better routine, thank you for watching 😢🎉

[@fuyukifrost808]

@@heratlas looking forward to it 🥰🥰🥰🌻🌻🌻 well done for managing so well ☺️ we shall enjoy this small chaotic era 🤣✨

[@ExpatNatt]

We have these beautiful trees in China too! I didn’t know what they were called until now, so thanks for sharing! ❤

[@coconut922]

We have a lot of ginko trees where I live in Canada :) love these trees! Ginkos are really strong trees, they wont get sick and rarely ever die

[@SamFournier]

It’s so beautiful, I don’t know when I want to return fall or spring. The carpeted floor and you with your babies😍 I couldn’t believe that I’m still witnessing the leaves changing colors now in December. I’m completely in love with Japan🇯🇵🤍

[@kelliculbertson1125]

I met the dog from the Sandlot!! A friend of my mom knew the owners!!! He was an English Mastiff which is close. If you have watched the Turner and Hooch movie with Tom Hanks before, that is the same type of dog!!

[@Rimlay0823]

I moved to Sapporo in September from India and it was so beautiful to see. I live 2 blocks from Odori park. The trees were so beautiful.

[@stephaniec.8415]

There’s a town in Osaka called Minoo, and they are famous for their deep-fried maple leaves on the way to the Minoo Waterfall 🍁

[@dawnjawn]

I am at a place where I am thinking of starting a family but I’m also nervous/sad to leave my current life behind. And between family/friends and content creators, you’re the only one who makes me feel the most excited/comfortable with the prospect. Long way to say - thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings on motherhood!! It really is helpful and appreciated 😊❤

[@karlajb005]

This makes me want to go to japan even more

[@ItaRoby]

I can't wait to visit Japan during the autumn season 🥰

[@etherdog]

Ginko trees are the oldest (evolutionary) trees still extant.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

It's hard for me to vlog with a bag and a to-go tea in my hand plus the tripod and puppet co-host. I can't imagine with a baby and dog in tow 👍 Don't worry about it, most people understand ❤

[@deborahalexandra7177]

I cannot wait to visit Japan next autumn! My husband is half Japanese and his Obaachama lives in Saitama, we always planned on going for our honeymoon and we just made it official for next year (although we got married in 2021) but we’re so excited!

[@Itami95]

My Facebook memories today of all things had me exploring Iwakuni. Such great memories of the day even though it was raining and very misty.

[@kurofune.uragabay]

Judging from his expression Gusgus is also a fan of the raspberry-pistachio ice cream 😋. High praise, those guys should put that clip on their website... Koyo colours are a blast (still prefer Japanese Maple though)

[@bi9vy9zv4c]

The ginko tree is one of my favourite!! Thank you so much for uploading this video, I really missed your vlogs. When I’ll finally get the chance to visit Japan I’ll surely visit Kikko park ^^

[@lavinatam194]

Blowing bubbles = blowing raspberries 😂

[@rebecca.h]

Love to see Japan with a baby! I'm due in Summer 2023 (my first) and will be moving to Japan (from the UK) that Autumn. I'm really anxious as it's so far from home even though I love Japan. It's a lot of change all at once! Thanks for continuing to share :)

[@wolvesandwaterfalls]

Iwakuni is definitely on my Japan travel list! I'd love to see this bridge. 😍 I'm in Kyoto right now and my favorite area of the city is the pathway that follows the river/canal through the city - so many cool bridges!

[@pyrostylez6996]

can you do a video on how you introduced Gus to your new baby and how their interactions have been?

[@nature_nd]

Great video!! Really love that view of the bridge, and all of the colors are spectacular! Missing the fall here! :)

[@gracerussell9488]

So beautiful thank you ! Love all your content

[@saban1569]

I really enjoyed this vlog 🍂🍁 I went to Iwakuni a few weeks ago because of your vlogs (it probably wouldn’t have been on my list without your vlogs) and I really loved it 💛

[@toshikawa3515]

I like ginkgo tree whose leaves become yellow from green in the autumn. Gingko is called "Ichoo" in Japanese. Female ginkgo tree bears fruit. Although that is very stinky, it is possible to eat the seed inside it.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

We have maples that get that yellow in Canada. They don't in the US?🤔 You probably just didn't notice them then

[@halaajmi8725]

Hi 👋 I'm really interested in when you filmed this video. Because I'm planning on visiting Japan this fall and wanted to know the appropriate duration to see the autumn foliage.

[@hegaukatze1599]

💐

[@charliebaker5499]

I wish you wouldn’t be so hard on yourself about vlogging! You should never feel bad because you’re prioritizing your baby and dog over content. I would however be really interested in a rebrand where you shared more about what it’s like being a parent in a foreign country!

[@blackburdy5261]

I personally think autumn ginkgo trees are prettier than cherry blossoms.

[@heratlas]

🤫 I might be on the same page 😅

[@AndNowIWrite]

Beware of xylitol in sweet things for your puppy!

[@tzi_music]

*Love Japan? 🏮 So I'm sure that you will love my MUSIC too! My music is Beautiful Instrumentals! 😊*

[@thegalacticzoologist]

guys says if baby gets some then i get some too

[@ladas1106]

Does your dog understand English and Japanese?

[@anushkajamal]

i can see how much you love GusGus but please take him off the neck leash and get him a harness 😔😔😔neck leashes are never good for any size dog i am a dog parent as well and i know they are family ❣❣❣
