Escape to Shima Onsen: Unmissable Foods in a Remote Hot Spring Town!

[@infn]

Shizuka seems genuinely happy in this video. Cheers to that!

[@alharding01]

Can’t say I blame her either 😁😁😁

[@deletedwaffles]

That seems like Shizuka all the time.

[@jackpatterson3984]

This is the best episode to come out in a while. Why? I like the rustic countryside. What really got me was the 9 minute mark. I'm hearing bossa nova music and again at the 11 minute mark. Astrud Gilberto passed away and she was the last of the greats. I'm happy to hear it again. Thanks I needed that!

[@TheKingOfBeans]

It was that cheese pull

[@JapanbyFood]

:D

[@benhizzle]

Impossible to pick a favorite this time, everything looks so delicious. And i agree with that lady, Shizuka is so cute 😊

[@JapanbyFood]

yayyy! Glad you liked it!

[@AidaAida-c1e]

I love Japan...

[@danieln.716]

What a cheese pull! Shima Onsen looks amazing!

[@JapanbyFood]

Our fave!

[@spang9782]

I really like when Japanese restaurants have an upstairs. It's generally a lot quieter and more cozy! That last restaurant, Asunaro, sure did give HUGE portions!

[@JapanbyFood]

For real, totally different vibes!

[@cerebrumexcrement]

everything looks so good. i want to back to japan.

[@stokerjoe4734]

Shizuka, you are doing an outstanding job! You projet so much smiles and happiness. Thank you and bless you!

[@michael.waddell]

Love the oldy worldy feel, absolutely stunning

[@JapanbyFood]

Couldn't agree more!

[@leberkase4508]

Thanks!

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you so much!

[@T3CHGY007]

What a nice cute little town! A very photogenic location!

[@JapanbyFood]

It really is!

[@DonJ1973]

Beautiful locations. And wow that pizza looked delicious 😋. That closing stand up shot with Shizuka during the evening was stunning. It looked like a totally different world. Great job as always JBF team.

[@JapanbyFood]

Than you so so much!

[@briandvorak]

I remember going to Shima Onsen when I was living in Japan. Thanks for making this video🙏

[@JapanbyFood]

Lovely location, isn't it?!

[@roynobody]

this was so wholesome ☺ 4:45

[@mskq4409]

Absolutely gorgeous!! Arrigato Gozaimasu!!

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for watching!

[@s1nb4d59]

I really did have a laugh at 11:15 on that looked delicious though.

[@JapanbyFood]

yay! Thanks for watching!

[@TontoKowalski2]

I have never experienced a cheese tonkatsu cutlet before. The existence of this blows my mind. I will definitely have to experience this at some point.

[@JapanbyFood]

It was mingblowing!

[@ChefGMoney578]

She the best food host ever! Love this show food network need to step there game up!

[@RolandoNispiros]

Awesome adventure. We love Spirited Away and glad to see the motivation behind the movie. ❤

[@JapanbyFood]

Such a charming place!

[@alvinkoeswanto8622]

What a magical place. I hope to visit someday.

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Ah Shizuka is back ! Another great vlog !

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for watching!

[@cavb748]

I know that this channel is about food in Japan... But this travel episode was realy good, and Shizuka's eyes and smile made it even better. You should do the same all over Japan, just a little less food and more travel.

[@JapanbyFood]

Glad you liked it!

[@tkctkctkc]

Shizuka san looks so happy whenever she eats something😍 which makes us happy too😂

[@JapanbyFood]

Everyone is happy!

[@zakkwylde72]

Great episode, tonkatsu looks so good, is like going to grandma for dinner😊

[@JapanbyFood]

Exactly! Super homey feel!

[@summerlinpublic5673]

I loved everything about this video!

[@JapanbyFood]

Happy to hear that!

[@Lawrencedimayuga]

Cheese pull looks amazing!! Awesome video as always😄

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for watching!

[@wil1027]

Thanks again for bringing another awesome episode. Great work! Btw, @ 20 second +/- in, - dude - when I saw the red bridge with the paper screens lit up in the background, first thought = Spirited Away. Also, the cheese pull segment is gold! Hi-larious! Thanks again for opening another window into Japan. Take it easy!

[@JapanbyFood]

Yay! So happy to hear such kind words!

[@hotskillet]

Our favorite was the cheesy katsu, not because you ran out of arm length, but the owners seemed awesome. We felt touched because our parents had a similar type restaurant in Shimbashi. We definitely will visit them. Thanks for another spot Shizuka!

[@JapanbyFood]

Ooooh how sweet is that? Thank you for sharing!

[@Flaschenteufel]

I'm often a bit scared by the big cities with shoeboxes to live in but as soon as you get into the countryside or just smaller - but bigger - places like this one it's a beautiful dream

[@JapanbyFood]

We love the countryside!

[@leemorse7851]

How wonderful

[@clsybear]

Hot springs town looks very inviting

[@JapanbyFood]

For sure!

[@tuberman33]

Love your reviews! They always put me in my happy place. Looking forward to my next visit to Japan❤

[@JapanbyFood]

thank you for saying that!

[@rocketreindeer]

That was so beautiful. I'd go there in a heartbeat. It felt healing to watch. I liked the pizza the best.

[@JapanbyFood]

Absolutely lovely!

[@JapanbyFood]

[@tylerdurden6882]

Lovely location and amazing options for food. Definitely adding this to a future itinerary.

[@pewwf0]

Such therapeutic episode! :))

[@JapanbyFood]

So glad!

[@gilghost]

omg this is on my bucket list....

[@JapanbyFood]

Please visit!

[@rbfndz]

Watched this twice, before my food come and since delivery got delayed, I watched again while eating. Coz I ordered teishoku set and I want to feel as full as Shizuka 😂. My fave is that record-breaking cheese pull!!❤

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for watching twice!

[@stargavstar]

Now I need to go eat a cheese toastie at 1am! Cheese envy!

[@JapanbyFood]

hehe, enjoyyy!

[@AVan-xg9vy]

I absolutely loved the egg custard and the really cheesy tonkatsu!!! 🥰

[@JapanbyFood]

We do tooo!

[@thomaslin4013]

What's a Ghibili? serious question.

[@cerebrumexcrement]

its an animation studio that does a lot of anime movies. its japan's version of disney or pixar.

[@egoboy]

@@cerebrumexcrement thank you!

[@philharnett2884]

Lovely as always. I've never had Japanese cutlets. I've tried every food under the sun. I NEED to eat Ton Katsu.

[@JapanbyFood]

It is a MUST!

[@jordanmarcus]

i’m overdosing on good vibes with this video

[@JapanbyFood]

Right? Makes us wanna go back!

[@perdomot]

That tonkatsu place was my fave.

[@JapanbyFood]

Same:D

[@clsybear]

Looking great in denim

[@ShizukaAnderson]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@stevend9527]

Love those remote onsen. Gunma is such a magical prefecture. I have visited shima onsen before and the takaragawa onsen close by are also unique but i miss the pizza. Should try next time. It's such a shame for an Italian like me who live in Japan part of the year to have missed that part of shima. Lol

[@JapanbyFood]

Takaragawa is most likely the most beautiful onsen in the entire country!

[@thejessta]

Shizukaaaaaaa

[@davidinouye2606]

The cheese cutlet looked so delicious Shizuka! My mouth was just watering while you were eating the cutlet. But were you able to eat all the cheese Shizuka?😄

[@JapanbyFood]

Of course!

[@michaelking1950]

I love all your videos, but I miss you saying, "I'm your host, Shizuka Anderson!"

[@philjones8815]

Wonderful video and a beautiful location. I'm craving cheesy Tonkatsu now. :D

[@JapanbyFood]

We do too!

[@andresvalenzuela6338]

OK, now we need a ghibli park tour!

[@JapanbyFood]

We would LOVE to!

[@astroboy3507]

That 50 year old tonkotsu place looked great nice happy couple!!!! We have been to kusatsu onsen and that was great I'd like to go there too!!! Old charm at night!!!! ♨️⭐️

[@JapanbyFood]

Kusatsu is on our list too!

[@astroboy3507]

@@JapanbyFood GREAT!!!

[@alharding01]

It looks like the kind of place you need to wear your stretchy pants………🤣🤣🤣 Another place to add to our ever increasing list of places to visit when we get over to Japan for the first time

[@JapanbyFood]

Please visit! You won't regret!

[@rainerlovesjapan9468]

Come back again the next year😁

[@JapanbyFood]

We will!

[@mmaya01]

I love your videos and adventures!! They are very different from the normal tourist spots. We are traveling to Japan in September. We are staying in Tokyo for the first few days. Can you recommend a country town instead of Kyoto? We will be going to Okinawa as well, so we will need to be near an airport. Thank you!

[@death12100]

That pizza looked so tasty🤤

[@JapanbyFood]

It was!

This place reminds me of Hakone a lot.

But is definitely more off the beaten path:)

❤,beautiful.

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ulyssesmelendres504]

Cool.

[@vitovitale169]

So now at 7:15 we learn how Shizuka finishes up all those meals! It's the hidden cameraman with the big can who Hoover's up all the leftovers off camera! Do they share the alcohol too? So romantic, perhaps it's time they hire a camerawoman to keep Shizuka better in check.

[@JapanbyFood]

It is usually a team of three people on the shoot so we always share:)

[@vitovitale169]

@@JapanbyFood Of course you have the Camera and sound man also the makeup artist, personal assistant and agent, and the bodyguard too! Don't forget her pet and its caretaker.

[@thinkinginsideout4053]

Shizuka's moans on that chessy tonkatsu is J*V heaven

[@johngo3715]

As a gundam fan, Shima just reminds me of Cima Garahau from Stardust Memory

[@JapanbyFood]

:O we gotta find out if there is a connection!

[@fhanggi]

I want to eat everything!

[@JapanbyFood]

Same, lol.

[@pspdead914]

gotta apologize when i first heard drinking the onsen water i be like well i guess only if im the only one using it atm😂

[@JapanbyFood]

Yeah, no...we'd rather not drink that kind of onsen water:D

[@FrankDux-rq7go]

she is so pretty.

Your nails matches the blue drink. Did you get your nails done on purpose.

Somebody Feed Shizuka

[@jinchoung]

gah she's so pretty wtf?!

[@angc4life]

Zukes!

[@lbe1309]

well Shizuka, I like your videos very very much, and I would like very very much visit Japan. But I have two problems: Japan is so big that I don't know where to start or what to choose, and secondly, I do not speak one word of japanese (except for "sake" ...) ... yet I like when you speak japanese ;) ... maybe I can be your cameraman ???? 😊

[@JapanbyFood]

We hope our videos will help you decide which places to visit! As for the language, body language seems to work just fine, so please do not worry at all about that!

[@forwork2601]

I feel like Ginzan Onsen is more like the movie setting

[@JapanbyFood]

Right? So beautiful!

Hello Ma'am can you make vegetarian food video too because if a vegetarian people visit japan that will be very helpful for them to find vegetarian food in Japan.

[@JapanbyFood]

We will!

[@littlsuprstr]

When an old person tells you you're good looking you gotta believe it.

[@JapanbyFood]

For real:D

[@josephgioielli]

I wonder if you could sell pizza in Japan? That stuff they call piza aint even close. They might life the real stuff

[@youngstarplakat2896]

Pizza around my state in the US is just ok. Only a few is above good.

[@trilingualkid]

how does she eat so much and not gain a pound!

[@JapanbyFood]

Eternal question!

[@OldManCad]

Why is she mispronouncing the name? Miyazaki has never called his studio that. It is pronounced Jiburi.

[@brewbjorn]

Do you always pronounce everything perfectly?

[@matdrat]

What are going on about? Miyazaki pronounces it with a J just like Shizuka. Jib-bu-ri. Not like the hard G in Italian. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp2cgmWvrZyjpqs&ab_channel=StoryDive

[@OldManCad]

@@matdrat More white knight Simpage.

[@OldManCad]

@@brewbjorn Yes, wife is Japanese.

[@ShizukaAnderson]

I was pronouncing it with a “J” as well? 🤔 In romaji, it would be Ji-bu-ri (as I would say when speaking in Japanese), but the official spelling is “Ghibli” so I pronounce it with an “l” in this video, as one would in English. Just to clarify 😆
