My own stress level even dropped a bit with just the sounds of the onsen water running. I imagine I would find it WAY more relaxing than just a bath in the regular bath tub.

[@heratlas]

THIS!!! I literally cry almost anytime I get to do a private onsen. Such a dream - I always have to reflect and take a moment of gratitude 🙏🏻 it’s the most relaxing thing

[@shabz09]

Omg...this place looks like a dream

[@what.the.doctor.orders9079]

Perfect lazy Sunday morning content 😊

[@sleepmusicland]

I am glad I can support you and Japan by watching your video and interacting with it. I will for sure travel to Japan in the future, maybe in a few years but right now I can support Japan and you, which makes me ridiculous happy. Something I can do :) 🥰

[@heratlas]

Yes!!! It’s so incredible how much their tourism is pouring into content creators. They want foreigners so badly to learn about all that Japan has to offer… so when, in a few years, you DO COME.. you have such a wealth of knowledge and options to choose from. Japan has so much variety - I hope you get to come in a few years.. we’ll be waiting!

[@sleepmusicland]

@@heratlas I will sure have the best tipps thanks to your channel and you're experiences you kindly share with us. 😊

[@Lizzieandrewsss]

The second connecting train ride looks magical 😍😍😍

[@nataliepriddle9909]

Aizuwakamatsu is one of my favourite places in Japan

[@heratlas]

I had never heard of it before going on this trip! It was AMAZING and is now one of my fav places!!! So off the radar!!

[@MelodyAcapella]

Japan is my dream trip destination. For a long time I thought I would just spend a week in Tokyo and call it at that, but the more I watch your videos the more interesting places I want to go! I've always adored the culture and traditions but seeing it this way just makes it feel so real for me. I hope to visit someday soon! Thank you so much for these videos, for a girl from a small city in the Midwest I feel like I am seeing more of this big beautiful world than I could ever hope for.

[@Dominiquebeauty]

I did not mean to be this early haha😆 I was just seeing if u uploaded. And you did!!😊

[@heratlas]

Hahaha hi Dominique!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 we did, we did!

[@derosenm5602]

Japan is soooo beautiful. I can’t wait to be able to visit one day, it’s #1 on my list! For now I’m living vicariously through you and your amazing videos! 😍 thanks for all the hard work you put into making these!

[@mollyfaye]

That red bridge reminded me of spirited away!!!

[@deborahj7603]

I so enjoy your videos!!! Have a great day!!

[@heratlas]

Thank you!!! Happy Sunday!!!

[@trulyjourneys9379]

🚅 ～～～～～Slow tourism is what travel should be like.👍

[@SamFournier]

Wow! What an amazing experience, I’m so happy you’re able to work with the tourism board. That private onsen looked so relaxing.

[@rosecancen]

You're making me miss Japan more. There's so many places to go and experience. Can't wait for the next episode/s. 😊❤️

[@heratlas]

So many places and so little time?!! What’s the top three places you want to see??

[@bi9vy9zv4c]

This is so beautiful, I’m already in love!!

[@heratlas]

We hope you get to visit!!

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

Wow, that letter opener looked divine!! ❤️

[@itrickyalove]

I was not prepared for the sudden costume change at 6:42 XD

[@miacamp2243]

So beautiful! My husband and I are moving to Japan in a week, your videos give me so much to look forward to🥰

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Absolutely beautiful. I miss Japan so much. Thank you for giving me so much to Google and research; I add pins to maps and make copious notes in my bedside notepad so I can hit the ground running just as soon as international travel restrictions are lifted. Thank you for this inspiring video.

[@emileedavis1997]

Such a cool experience. I can’t wait to go back to japan. Hi from North Carolina 🥳💕

[@myriamgaudreau1848]

It’s crazy cause I’ve always thought that Japan was this crazy place with mini appartment and packed with people but each time I watch your video, the landscape… the peace I get is insane !! I’ve never considered travelling to japan but I think I will in the future for sure!

[@joycefuruya5054]

I really enjoy all of your Japan videos! So beautifully made and you share really cool things that foreigners wouldn't be able to find on our own (well, without a local to help guide us). It makes me want to visit all these places :)

[@LayersOfJenn]

“It hurts so good” 😂 I’m glad you had a blast in Fukushima! Out of the 8 years I was in Japan, I’ve never been there. Seems like I missed out on a lot of beauty the prefecture has to offer ❤️

[@dianebaker5243]

The countryside scenery and you showed us is fabulous too see.thanks for sharing .👍🎄☃️

[@AUMINER1]

wow - impressive ! love it! can't wait for EPISODE 2 ;)

[@thegalacticzoologist]

The scenery there is stunning and all the activities look like so much fun, particularly the metal working. I'm feeling especially jealous of the hot bath but that may have more to do with the fact that my dorm room bath doesn't get hot water.

[@kimberlyfburkholder]

That red tree!!!! 😍😍😍

[@itsniikotv990]

Wow that’s a stunning transformation of that letter opener!

[@low-key5512]

This is actually so beautiful. I'm sold. Definitely adding it to the places I'll visit once I have the chance to travel to Japan :)

[@bernadinepena5243]

So beautiful! Thanks for taking us along. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@samanthadanielle2772]

You are making me miss Japan’s countryside even more! Can’t wait to be back next year hopefully (as a student) enjoyed every bit of this video! 💗

[@nauhaimeful]

Loved your video!

[@raymondjones7489]

I love it!!... maybe I can't make it there...but,you took me there!!...thank you very much!!👍👍😎💚💯

[@angelinamount4969]

My husband and I have plane tickets to go to Japan in June. I really really really hope we will be able to go! 🤞🤞🤞Your videos give me so many great ideas on where to visit!

[@WholeFoodieChallenge]

How you filmed as you had two mins to switch trains is a flex I didn’t even know existed.

[@charcomojado]

Loving the relaxing scenery.

[@wolvesandwaterfalls]

Wow I love this! Definitely one of my favorite vlogs of yours. The storytelling, the music, the shots - everything!

[@cristinaalexe7454]

Loved this video

[@Lisallamaa]

Soooo good, Caitlin (sorry I'm not sure how you spell your name haha). I know you have been working hard on this one and all the little sneak peaks you've been putting on your insta stories had me so excited for this and it did not disappoint!! Probably your best video to date. that view of the castle was so beautiful I literally started to tear up. Can't wait to see what's next!!! ❤

[@ankitabanerjee584]

this was so visually pleasing to watch! i cant get over the part during the mountain train ride...it is so beautiful!

[@kenzibiggs6774]

This place looks so fun and interesting! 😍 Following you has made me want to travel to Japan so badly!! Before I started following you I didn't really have any desire to visit Japan because I figured people just went to Tokyo to see the big city. So seeing these beautiful countryside areas with gorgeous landscapes and super interesting historical places to visit has shown me the light!! I'm always annoying my husband now by showing him all the cool things that you post and saying "Look! We have to go there!" Love your content! Beautiful video! ❤❤

[@Grimsy_Max]

Hubby and Gus-Gus must be quite jealous. Thanks for the trip … snow and -16 C (3 F) here so nice to get away as skiing is out today!

[@mattiebrisbin1161]

So my husband is active Air Force and we just got orders to Japan!!!! We have never been overseas and we’re so excited!! We are going to be on Yokota Air Base and it’s about an hour and a half from Tokyo!! It would be amazing to meet you, Caitlin!! ♥️

[@sktruesdale]

Great videos! I've been binging your channel.

[@im.breean7850]

Your videos never fail to make me feel grateful and bring a smile to my face ☺️

[@loveslikesalt]

beautiful place!

[@jshaw080]

This video is amazing, I literally think the best one you’ve made so far!! The editing is *french kiss*

[@MariaNunez-rx2kw]

I CANNOT WAIT TO GO

[@mzalshevano6145]

Yay! I’ve been waiting for this! Super late though😅

[@WhereTaraWent]

I love your Japan content! My fiance and I want to visit together (it will be his first time there) someday soon!

[@k2motors93]

Beautiful journey

[@testerbend2865]

That Ryokan looks amazing!

[@amandac1835]

That train ride looked so peaceful and beautiful. I hope I get to go there someday!

[@Ram_mar787]

Wow that train ride looks magical 😍

[@RebekahElaine]

I’ve never heard of this town but it looks really nice! Thanks you for such an informative and beautifully shot video!!

[@mzalshevano6145]

This was awesome can’t wait for episode 2 😁

[@katemckay6173]

I've been there but I didn't do it right, have to go back

[@zoiekline5515]

I loved this!

[@runhunted2195]

Just love love love all your videos and all your content xx ❤️❤️❤️

[@eloised.2546]

Such a beautiful place!

[@joannazych122]

Love your travel vlogs

[@Grimsy_Max]

Mission accomplished !

[@etherdog]

Caitlin, more detailed descriptions about the places you visit would add a lot more value to your channel. For instance, the structure with the double helix staircase, Sazaedo Temple, was from a sketch by Leonardo da Vinci and was in part the inspiration for the discovery of the structure of DNA.

[@kimryan945]

Beautiful

[@suemartine5913]

Beautiful countryside. Where is your husband? You’re so fortunate to travel a lot in Japan.

[@tailstraveladventures79]

Beautiful 😍

[@julianoenomoto4829]

Maravilha.

[@masayoshioka7574]

Your eyes are so beautiful 💕

[@mandiddyy]

I’m sure this has been asked before but what camera do you use? Your videos are so clear!

[@xcapeee]

A beautiful video Caitlin =) Makes me want to get back to Japan again ASAP!! @khoistar

[@rayanalhabib8233]

Thanks for the vid. Can you please share the name of the onsen

[@erwen18196]

Is there any online information on the pass? What about the ozatoro fares?

[@rspascual21]

Are u going to the bamboo forest in Kyoto?
