Today we're exploring the town I live in.. Iwakuni, Japan!! My in-laws are visiting, so this is my quick guide to Kikko Park, Kintai Bridge, and Iwakuni Castle. These are our main tourist attractions, but of course, this is only scratching the surface. I have been living here for almost 4 years (wow!) and I hope you get a chance to visit, too!! Iwakuni is truly one of Japan's hidden gems / best-kept secrets. It is beautiful in all seasons, especially cherry blossoms and autumn.

i was stationed here in 1978 and i fell in love with japan. Im 63 now and Japan has never left me. ⛩

[@lucid_indifference2833]

This was adorable watching you with your in-laws! So glad we got to finally see the castle, and vicariously experiencing the cherry blossoms. Still feels like winter where I live! Your videos really help me feel more confident planning a trip to Japan.

[@Lisallamaa]

My partner and I have always said if we get the opportunity to visit Japan we'd rather visit some small towns/countryside than the big cities. After following you for a couple of years now, Iwakuni is definitely top of the list ❤ and I'd love to see it during Sakura season but it seems impossible to plan for that since they only last for such a short time!

[@Itami95]

I can’t wait to return to see more. We had a fabulous day in Iwakuni a few years back. It was a rainy December day but didn’t stop us. Didn’t go up to the castle as the whole mountain was covered in clouds but I have lovely photos of Kintai with mist all around. The people were so friendly and we learnt a lot about the cormorant fishing.

[@nature_nd]

So many beautiful pictures you captured!!!! I seriously look forward to your cherry blossom coverage and fall foliage coverage all year long!

[@kaile5050]

I thought you & Gus Gus had a little date under the trees last year? 🐕🌸🍱 Also, Iwakuni is So Pretty, lucky ducks to live in such a quaint area 🏯🗾

[@Delaneyyjade]

I adore you and you’re beautiful little life 🥹 living vicariously through your adventures is my favourite. Thank you for making good content 🫶

[@alliecatattack]

Such a cute & wholesome video! Love seeing your excitement sharing your town with your family.

[@octeight7977]

Beautiful views from the top, like it's a painting from a dreamy Japanese animation of spring time.

[@Inun_NWF]

It is so good to have people back in Sakura!

[@briangep]

Thanks for this! I was stationed here and went to this festival in 1988.

[@eveline1]

I definitely want to visit iwakuni one day in spring!! It looks so dreamy almost as if you were in a movie 😍

[@torrancesmith7524]

Sakura season in Japan is the best 😍

[@kirseitis]

You should start creating travel guide e-books in English on all the cool local things to see, do and eat. You have so many favorite places and shops, etc. that you share with us - and amazing photos to add to it. 💮🌸

[@Lisallamaa]

I second this!

[@peacefusion]

I dont. Mass tourisim in one spot is bad. Its better to explore on your own.

[@dearmountains3431]

Wow absolutey, Great video.Taking a walk while enjoying the cherry blossoms is truly a blessing. enjoyed watching spring in Japan 春の祭り. どうもありがとう🌸🌸🌸🐶😉❤❤❤

[@karynwhite7188]

Fabulous! We are heading over in December and I already had Iwakuni and Miyajima as a day trip on our itinerary I have created. Lovely to see a sneak peak of the area!!

[@lorigillis]

Aww your in-laws seem so sweet 🥹

[@nish221100]

wakuni is a great place to visit for the Kintai Bridge and the Iwakuni Castle. It's considered the gateway to Yamaguchi (at least from the rest of Honshu). I get so homesick when I see these. Half the fun of "hanami" is having that picnic and drinking with friends.

[@ExpatNatt]

Brilliant video, so lovely to see a part of Japan on vlogs the isn’t Tokyo! So refreshing ❤❤

[@gabywoods3198]

Such a nice vid. My my husband and I and my 2 little girls will be moving there between 3-6 give or take. I’ve watched a lot of your videos already they’ve been so informative and helpful…. I love to venture out just like you, I love new things. I’m super excited to move but also a little nervous because of the language barrier. Maybe I’ll bump into you when I get there 🤩

[@cleanhappy1766]

説明が上手で、私も行った気になれました!!😊

[@shannastenehjem9800]

Love our town!

[@orangesalt3234]

Aw this definitely makes me want to go visit Iwakuni if I'll ever go to Japan :)

[@dhall4363]

Great video. You live in a lovely town. I watched a few of these videos and the common opinion is getting away from the big cities and finding places like these is these. Like those old guys slowly getting tanked .

[@cormorcjm2006]

I miss iwakuni so much!!!!!!😢

[@loverpart-time-9622]

I love your smile!

[@aunnahr8833]

In my mind, I think they made the stairs that close together because around the time they were building people were wearing kimonos. So putting regular stairs might have been harder to use since they had to take smaller steps in their kimonos. I don't know if that's accurate though lol

[@DavidPerez-iv8qi]

I might be getting a civilian job on base for NF4T coming from California. This video is getting me excited.

[@idiot5089]

There's a marine corps base in Iwakuni, good chance I'll be stationed there!

[@CCRhorst]

Ah I miss Iwakuni so much! Especially during cherry blossom season. Hope your in-laws had a wonderful trip. I’m new to your channel but have you been to eat at Sanzoku? That was my family’s favorite place to eat in Iwakuni, we always brought visitors there with us. My family and I are hoping to go back and visit in the next couple years.

[@DMarinari]

Thanks for the video.

[@KenKobayashiRasmussen]

Awesome vlog, one tip though, get a stabilizer for your camera, that would optimize the quality of your videos...

[@lizzie7929]

[@FeelKoreaTV]

Cherry blossoms are really beautiful like you. 정말 벚꽃이 아름답습니다. 사실은 당신이 더 아름답습니다

[@chibikkotravels]

Absolutely fantastic. Here in Tokyo I feel that the rain washed away most of the Hanami this year. Did manage to see some blossoms but couldn't`t have a picnic.

[@sharonhague9580]

I think your father in law would be an awesome cohost!!

[@user-rb5wf6ug6c]

👍👌😊👍

[@pesawatindonesia]

fantastis bos 😄

[@user-dk6re8wi6e]

東京みたいに人がいすぎじゃなくていいね。(^_^) 綺麗すぎて涙が出そう。

[@ethanbeitz5527]
