daily life in japan 🌊🌷 house tour, road trip, home cooking

[@robotscrapyard]

I miss your vlogs. It must be crazy busy running two airbnbs, stationary business, a bar and whatever else you have going on. Every time a new video pops up it’s like seeing an old friend.

[@anatawaniwatori]

sorry im new, what stationary shop does she run?

[@robotscrapyard]

@@anatawaniwatori she has a subscription service stationary business called Neko Neko Post ❤️

[@daniellestevens3013]

I am so interested in Ushka's story and why she went to Japan and her journey. Please do a vid about her!

[@sharlainjapan]

We did!! Ah I forget what vlog it was now… one of my daily vlogs from a few months back!

[@daniellestevens3013]

@@sharlainjapan how did I miss it, I watch all your vlogs! Thank you, I'll try to find it!

Yay! I love Ushka she’s so lovely 🩷 I’m from NZ too & always wondered about her story of moving to Japan

[@feuerkatzee]

I was a teenager when I started to watch your videos - and now here I am making pancakes for my children and while cooking still watching your videos 😅

[@sharlainjapan]

Love that🥹♥️

[@jack7250]

7:00 So nice for the real estate agent to show you a house with a build in dungeon!

[@jmason1770]

OMG! I was thinking that too! The narrow staircase looks like it could easily be covered to lock someone down there.

[@sharlainjapan]

@@jmason1770the days being counted down on the wall😅😅😅

[@Latkrys]

Actually gave me the heebies… errr… did you get the place? It was nice minus the dungeon.

[@HeavenlyCreature.]

I think that's where they dispose of the bodies! 😬

[@baconx6476]

That's where Sharla lock Chris when he's a bad boy.

[@mbienek]

Love the two of you. Thanks for this. Makes me miss Japan more. Clearly I need to spend a year there instead of a month.

[@pinky6069]

Awww I missed Sharla and Mark videos together so much!!! Glad Mark is back in Japan! 🥰

[@walterwalter1802]

Hey Sharla~ I know you're super busy, but I just want to say that I really appreciate your videos. They have a certain charm about them that make me smile. Thank you for taking us along with you and showing us the country that I miss so much 💖Sending you lots of positivity and many blessings 😺

[@sharlainjapan]

Thank you so much! 🥺🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@CaseyK-kz3wj]

Sharla, I don't think I can explain how happy & excited I get when I log onto KZbin in the morning and see that you've posted a video. It makes my day.

[@moda78z]

I’m so happy Mark is back. You must be so happy! ❤️❤️❤️ I remember when he went and got Mauro for you! 😭🥰❤️

[@SimplyPharmD]

omg not only did we get a new Sharmeleon vlog, but MARK IS BACK?? i know you're super busy, but the vlogs are always so cozy, so thank you for sharing!❤

[@Supadrumma441]

14:20 As an Australian who lives in the tropical north part of the country, I 100% sympathise with this statement. I also know what its like to live in a giant sauna of a country where air cons get replaced every 10 years because the climate just utterly destroys them and the heat just NEVER BLOODY ENDS. We dont even have a Spring or winter for that. We have "slightly less hot Summer" and "Summer, but bearable" instead of spring and winter.

[@gloomsmamma]

So good to see Mark again, I've missed him in your videos. They're some of my favorites

[@MelanieMichelin]

Really loved how this vlog had a little bit of everything. It was great to hang out in your apartment and cook again and see the kitties too ❤ Hope you are feeling better! Happy that you and Mark are living so close to each other again

[@Zoyphinx]

Loved this vlog too!

[@HoneyGun]

Seeing your videos now make me so happy. SinceI first subscribed back when you first started vlogging, you’ve come so far💕. Edit: The video I always think of when I remember your channel is when you and the other japan vloggers did a a cherry blossom viewing party.

[@jessicasummers8531]

My husband and I are headed to Japan in January! (It’ll be my second time and my husbands first) and your guys’ bar is on our itinerary! I am so so excited. I have been watching you and Chris for so so long!

[@ashleymartone9464]

I love when you come out with vlogs, there so cozy, love when Ushka is in videos she has such a warm personality!

[@FlyArrow-g8b]

It's been a long time since I saw mark. AHHH HE'S BACK!

[@MsCanadianpie]

Chris is so funny. I almost fell for his documentary story 😂

[@catqueenx27]

I was just thinking how desperately we needed a new Sharla video! Like a magic it arrived!! Wonderful video as always! Such great vibes 🎉

[@johnyinnit]

Mark is the man!

[@johnyinnit]

Also: Sharla's videos are always a treat!

[@kammymarie13]

So good to see Mark again! I was so excited when he appeared in Chris' bar video

[@amomentwithcece]

I swear, sunsets in Japan are unbeatable (12:11 omg!!) I'm currently editing an Okinawa vlog and keep rewatching the sunset footage I took over and over, it's just sooo beautiful 🌇🌆

[@Hotaru9]

Looking at the steep stair ways makes me realize why old people often need to move out when they get old. I can barely imagine dealing with those stairs now let alone when I'm 80. Beautiful video and scenery as always!

[@Iamnotfatiamfluffy]

Love it when you tour the old houses. The interior decor is never what you expect it to be for a Japanese home. It's nice to know the US didn't corner the market on tacky and eclectic designs.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Your vlogs are so chill. Been watching for years and I thank you for all that you do & let us see.

[@naviproductions]

I’m going to Japan for the second time this December, and I can’t wait to go to your bar! I’ve been watching your videos for close to 10 years now, so I’m glad I’ll get to support your work in a different way!

[@lockstrife]

Love your vlogs, Sharla! You're so pretty with the blush on. Yay Mark is back! More cooking with Sharla 😁 The beach was so beautiful. It looked like from a painting 🤍 Congrats on Lost! Hope we can visit next year 🙏

[@tictacs30]

As a BC 🇨🇦 girl myself I always love hearing it mentioned in your videos. The washed up feet story from 2007 is still so crazy.

[@redwolfjoy]

I wanted to thank you for your wonderful vlogs. I spent 2 weeks in Japan visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Mt. Fuji, and Kobe. I want to visit again but the western side of Japan. It was an incredible trip thanks to your vlogs! 💕💕💕💕💕

[@sharlainjapan]

Great to hear that!! 🙌🏻♥️

[@artemis_lena]

I know you’ve been so busy and congrats on the bar btw but so so glad that you’re back! I’ve missed your videos. ❤

[@natnutty]

the jingle at the start!!! i love that...immediately brings me back to japan

[@Empieye]

The train jingle at the start instantly conjured memories of being in Japan again T_T. Hope to visit the bar soon!

[@salvina299]

I missed Sharla's vlogs 😍. We're going to Japan for the first time, going abroad for the first time after so much planning and saving and Sharla's videos just make me feel so hopeful and inspired. I hope we'll be able to stop by LOST. Thank you for posting!

[@JasSchMin]

Yay so nice to see you! I can imagine how busy u must have been with the bar, the guesthouse. Hope u get to relax and chill out too 😊

[@TereseHalvorson]

It doesn't matter what country you're inspecting a property - the amusement and questioning design choices is the same :) Same costly aspects to renos too.

[@AmyEarls7683]

Yay!!! so happy for a Sharla vlog!! Love you!

[@adityasanthanam1945]

Great to see you back and lovely to see Mark, too. Your videos are an island of calm in this rough and fast-moving world.

[@phil-ej9ck]

Bird and blend is fab! They’ve opened in my city in the UK with a little cafe inside and it’s all so delicious. The buttermint matcha is my fave ❤

[@C_M_L-666]

Ngl the weather has been weird this year. I love you Sharla. Hope one day I can come visit you. I have watched you for so many years. You have inspired me a whole lot. I have always loved Japan, but you made it more precious

[@ClaudiaDCD]

Right when I think I've seen everything that's pointed out is a good find, food, places, etc, you show me something more! Loved the dessert on the train, never saw it in a to go container like that before.

[@shiftyy2786]

This made my day!! It is so good to see you. As usual, you’re glowing!

[@froggo603]

The flavoured matcha from bird and blend is so amazing!! I especially love their rasperry ripple one, it smells and tastes so fresh.

[@djredhareaus38]

I miss Japan so much everyone is so kind and considerate especially when they are driving

[@breannaennis1442]

Hey Sharla! I don't know when you were in Victoria last, but I'm happy to tell you that fall is here. Of course that means the endless rain too, lol. It's super gorgeous though, with the trees changing colour's. I think the Salmon run starts soon too!! 😊

[@pydepyper]

This was a great cozy watch! ❤ I waited all day till the kods were in bed so I could watch this uninterrupted with a hot chocolate. ☕

[@nicoleaustin8616]

Thank you for this welcomed bit of distraction. I just got a call from the dr that I had some not great pathology test results and I so needed this moment to escape from all the anxiety that brought. Bless you!

Mark, matcha and Marry me chicken! So happy you're back Sharla! We mmmmissed you! 😊

[@JadeCC92]

That hoodie is adorable, I love the cat ears 🥰 I can’t have caffeine anymore now I take ADHD meds and I miss having matcha! I did keto for a year a while ago and my favourite ‘hacks’ were konjac rice, celeriac mash and chaffles because I needed fake carbs 😅 I would often struggle to reach my fat macro but then I made a dessert using double cream and melted 90% cocoa dark chocolate ❤

[@millennialchicken]

i would have hadd that house in a heartbeat. So wonderfully bizarre and unique. Loved that fireplace with the blue tilework.

[@nataliepenna8618]

I love bird and blend, they're a local company and they ship internationally. There's a matcha advent calendar available from them now, treat yourself!

[@MZBrass]

They do a loose leaf tea advent calendar too! They were all delicious (apart from the rogue birthday cake flavour that contained actual sprinkles XD )

[@nataliepenna8618]

Me and my husband finally rebooked our honeymoon to Japan next year, I'm so hyped! Can't wait to visit the LOST bar too, and your gatcha machines! 😄

[@AuntieArchitect]

Oh my gosh, my husband and I visited too about two weeks ago and I cannot recommend the non alcoholic drinks enough(as someone who does not like drinking I loved the options!)

[@kikyo291]

I'm literally so excited about the weather! Last time I was in Tokyo in October it was pretty unbearable but I'm coming back next week and I'm excited to wear a sweatshirt!!

[@heartofmythril]

You're looking more beautiful than ever, Sharla! Good to see you're doing well.

[@jennyparkinson2715]

That blush looks so good and as it is also skin care. I followed your link and saw shades and instantly bought one myself. Your videos are so eye opening and educational but also so genuine - me and my fiancée are wanting to go to Japan for our Honeymoon and thanks to you and Chris we know where to go and also what we need to be aware of and how to not offend - we hope to book the Neko Neko Inn as I have told him about it and he watched your video and he was blown away by it. Thank you for all you do. Please keep up the content and we hope to see you either by the inn or the bar. Much Love

[@kakeline]

I’m so tempted to try the new products in your night time skin routine… you turned me on to the klairs moisturizer so long ago and it’s still my absolute fav!

[@chorelwright8513]

Been watching your videos since I was 18 (7 years ago) love you! 😄🩵

The Marry Me sauce works great with beans (chickpeas, white beans, etc.) if you want, too!

Oh Bird and Blend! They do amazing teas as well. Their mocha chai is a fantastic- impressed they are in Japan as well.

[@ellen_globetrotter3783]

So happy to see a new video from you! Always love your content. That house has great potential if it was not for the dungeon vibes downstairs! lol. Wow, that postcard at 13:00 is a-ma-zing!! what a beautiful gift!!! Finally, thanks for the update on your evening time skin routine! My skin is soooooo dry now (changes in hormones for sure!) I appreciate the update you gave! will look into those new products! thank you!!

I was gifted the bird and blend matcha sampler for my birthday a few months ago. Already ordered more of the banana & gingernut, SO delicious. You can even mix them together and it tastes like banana bread! And if you mix lemon & birthday cake it's like a lemon drizzle cake!!!

I'm really happy about finding this video and it made me check more of yours, and see you and AbroadinJapan Chris were engaged too! (My partner showed me his videos when we were trip planning to Japan). :] I find your videos super inspiring, especially being similar age! Thank you so much posting these. You are also beautiful just in case you were not aware/believing it, going to look up if you have any skincare videos after this. ^-^ I've wanted to change careers for a bit now (been a teacher long time), and your videos are helpful, inspiring, and just feels fantastic to watch. I love how you designed the neko neko house, I love touring houses, and just... thank you so much. :] Wishing you all the best, and subscribed to see how you go from here!! Congratulations on your engagement to you both! :]

[@shallowsleep15]

So much goodness in one vlog! We know you’re busy with all your businesses, so it’s nice still seeing a video from time to time. I hate summer and don’t do much exploring around then either, but now that it’s finally getting cooler I’m excited to get out and about too. I love making matcha lattes at home. I usually do 1 or 2 tsp, even though the container suggests 1/2 tsp. I like it a bit on the stronger side, especially if you’re adding sweetener or any kind of milk. Banana matcha definitely sounds interesting. That house was so creepy 😂 I think I’ve seen too many Asian horror movies, so that one room with the fire pit I was like “Nopeeee!” lol

[@stratosphere94]

That house is so strange and unique! I bet it would look amazing done up again 💓

[@raccoonruby86]

Whenever I get a notification for a new video, I always think, "Oooh, maybe it's a wedding vlog!". Maybe one day!!!

[@kyrar.j.4856]

Hey Sharla! I really enjoyed your video today, looked like loads of fun with super delicious food, and it was great to see Mark again! Always a joy to watch your videos :) I also wanted to say that, if you want to improve the look of your scar instead of strategically hiding it under jewelry or clothing, then you might consider adding a retinoid to your routine. Retinoids increase skin cell turnover and encourage collagen production which can help to improve the look of scars, wrinkles and fine lines, as well as reduce pigmentation and acne, so it could be helpful for you if you're interested in that! Lots of love :)

[@alomafoggo3239]

The chicken looked so good and easy to make. I loved the black and white dish with the bunnies💜

Hey - One of the best mixes (like your hair color) from your channel I've seen so far. We've got a matcha latte fixation in common and I've always found it difficult to find it, too.
