Thank you for getting that beautiful icecream even though it was freezing outside. And I am sorry you fell and hurt yourself. Hugs.. the things you do for us , the viewers.

[@Guidance_Association]

My mother wasn't able to watch the premiere live - she was being treated by an Energetic_Therapist. Now, hours later, she can watch it all the more relaxed. And she really enjoys it. She really like the old houses very much.

[@jacobo5172]

I loved Otaru, I went on Christmas 2019, it is a very beautiful city. There I tasted the best ramen I ate in Japan, for now of course, I went to Japan 7 times, for Tokaiya ramen. I hope that when the borders open, I will return to Hokkaido. greetings from Spain.

My gf and I saw this video AFTER our trip to Otaru. We were bummed out. Also my gf and I are amazed at how you speak both English and Japanese without an accent. Amazing. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@Shinichisworld]

Thank you!!!

[@littlemiss_76]

I come from warm weather too as much as I like snow I freeze.

[@carladavid784]

Otaru looks so beautiful and magica❣️🤩❣️

[@SarahPerine]

I am impressed by Mother Nature and icicles, too, Shinichi! I think because I grew up in a warm climate-not as warm as Hawaii, though! And I’m extra careful in the snow because it feels dangerous like those 🥶 icicles!!! Also, I have the hardest time talking when I’m outside in cold weather. I blame a condition I got in 2014 called Bells Palsy. When it’s cold, it feels like my entire right side of my face freezes up and I suddenly can’t speak!! Ha! Anyhow, just two things in your video that seemed familiar to me. I am so glad I found your channel and I just love you and Satoshi and Justin!!! It’s been such a treat to learn about the Hokkaido region. Looking forward to Sapporo. Many thanks and happy travels!!

[@julieluna8509]

Nice place to see, hope japan would open up for tourists

[@user-rl6hf6xj8p]

I work at Otaru!!!!! I wanted to see you😹

[@gymmer40]

We were there during Christmas 6 years ago . The old school toy shop selling mask was a gem to go shopping. We were staying opp the train station. Wat beautiful memories watching this . Thank u

[@tanjem]

BABY OTARU , I AM COMING ... I AM COMING ..

[@kaylaplumb7502]

So sad I missed but good morning from Canada!

[@debracantrell1058]

Happy Valentine's 😘❤️😘 guy's awesome walking tour love the walk be safe take care 💝

[@tabbyzhaulsEverythingels]

Lol I'm very much enjoying this video but I'm under my blankets looking at all that snow ❄️❄️🌨️🌨️ is making me more cold 🤣🤣 happy Valentine's day 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️

[@oanaelena4001]

Wow, everything's so pretty with all the snow!

[@Jeni10]

Satoshi always looks like he knows where he’s going, even in a strange town! My Dad was like that, because he always studied the places before we ventured out so he had a pretty good idea where to take his family. The only times he failed were when he was driving, he used to find ALL the dead ends! LOL! Consequently when I was four, he taught me to read the street directory so I could guide him. 😜👍🇦🇺 He would say, this is where we are and this is where we need to be, now you guide me, which I did. 👍😍

[@Jeni10]

You can see tourist spots in a book but experiencing the lifestyle - the food, the people, to explore and find interesting little surprises - that’s what travelling is really about.

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Otaru , is so picturesque I can't get over how beautiful Japan is all year round. Loved the fish market plenty of well stocked varieties . And all the famous pastry shops in the area looks delicious. I can't wait to visit Japan with my family some day ,I hope my Japanese language lessons pays off 😉.

[@singlefather01]

Wait till you go to Ginzan Onsen. Not of this earth.

[@jolomaullionvlogs8873]

Konnichiwa gozaimasu great vlog and great city in Japan watching from philippines

[@MrLGDUK]

I'm sorry to hear you slipped over, Shinichi! Ouchie. I fell sideways one time where there was a slope on the pavement [sidewalk] covered with black ice - landed right on my hip! That really hurt too. Thank you for another wonderful premiere. I'm sorry I wasn't able to join in the chat, I was out dropping off books and other things for charity ahead of our house move.

[@kamanama3671]

We’re paying the same seafood prices for frozen shipped in low quality seafood. You’re very blessed

[@michellevietor]

Yes! I was at a market last week where I usually buy 6/8 size frozen prawns - a 2 lb box used to go for $17.99. Now they're 2 lbs for $27.99! 😲

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job bro

[@ladylaura8038]

Gorgeous winter wonderland ❄️☃️❄️☃️💙🤍

[@saraatppkdotpt8140]

Watching this as I write this comment, letting you know I always enjoy watching what your videos!

[@premanshibuya]

true. was there winter 2002

[@justinparkes7632]

Otaru truly is the most interesting and very fascinating City in all of Japan it's well known throughout it's very own culture I love it thank you so very much for the Grand Tour shinichi and Satoshi.

[@spiritofjapan]

Otaru is a beautiful town! Thanks for sharing!

[@michellevietor]

I empathize with the people almost slipping! I had two close calls on the ice today here in Minneapolis. Luckily my balance is pretty good!

[@astroboy3507]

So spacious looking otaru some nice buildings too!!! ✌🏻

[@michaelhughes3273]

Music Box store and The Snoopy store is a must-go-to. Was there last year visiting my grandfather, uncle and 2 aunts. Going there tomorrow. Girls want to play in the snow. This comes the day after we were on a beach in Pattaya, Thailand. Happy New Years 🎉😂

[@q-doctor6564]

Thank you for detail introducing video and useful information about Hokkaido. Happy New Year 2023 !

[@michellevietor]

And on your batteries, it's certainly the cold that causes the device to think that they are low on power. Just warm them up in your pocket or in your hands and they'll work again. I used to use a 35mm camera that had auto-advance, and in the winter I would have to use 2 sets of batteries - 1 set in the camera, and a second set warming up in my pocket. I would swap them back and forth all day.

[@dreamdog7346]

Realy beautiful 😍 Thank's to sharing US 🙏🏼

[@paulabarton9493]

Shinichi I have been trying to find satoshys channel sorry for the spelling. I love both you you guys do so well on all your channels. You produce great content and very informative which I love. Thanks for all your work. Stay safe and healthy to you both.

[@ginas.6656]

So beautiful but makes me cold lol. Yea gopro can become bad in very hot temps too.

[@foomp]

Oh no on Satoshi's knife cut. I always make it a point to bring simple first aid stuff with me whenever I travel (e.g. bandages, antibiotic, etc). Takes up nearly no bag space and a nice relief whenever minor injuries occur. The layout of Otaru seems a little more western to me, but not entirely sure why. Maybe the building design?

[@kenchew5002]

I think the Shopping Mall connected to the Grand Park Otaru Hotel is larger. Nearly half a kilometre long. It has Daiso but no Don Quixote.

[@mjm7165]

Thanks for the awesome content. Helps the world feel they are traveling and not stuck grounded at home, including myself! Travel well and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Greetings from Los Angeles, CA!

[@arrictinegames3089]

Kinda' sad that I wasn't able to join the premiere (I was too buzzed from Valentine's Day beer to understand what was going on LOL) but I'm happy to see that "Shinichi's Favorite" made it into the cut at around 34:17 😅 Thank you again for the great walking tour! Cheers and Take care 😊

[@fresnobear63]

That Christmas music echoing in the empty market was very spooky! I liked it.

[@peterjake9621]

Great video guys of Otaru . Missed the Livestream today as I was working but watched tonight . It’s relaxing watching you guys show us the towns historic buildings, markets and the Shotengais . Shinichi is a good narrator as you guys walk around describing in detail all the different points of interest. Despite so much heavy snow ❄️ it’s business as usual for the local people, i admire their resilience just to get on with their day. Arigato 👍🙏😀

[@exxon5430]

最高!wow !!!😀😀😀💯💢💥👍great!

[@tigerbalm666]

I forgot there was a lot of snow in japan! I never thought therer was so much snow in Japon.

[@olive5483]

I ♥️Otaru! I miss Otaru! ♥️ The last time I went, I almost freeze to death. 😂🌨☃️

[@jmgranat]

I could be wrong but perhaps a large battery bank connected with a cord to the go pro (you would need a special door for the USB C to go through as well) would work for longer streams. You would have a cord to the power bank to the go pro but may last longer if the battery bank was with you in the jacket pocket or something. I'm not a pro but maybe that could work? Wonderful video and what a beautiful city!

[@japanwalkuncuttourhotsprin1503]

Thank you for a fun walk. The seafood looks fresh and delicious.

[@davidheinemanngarza7619]

Thanks for the food inspired tour through Otaru. Really nice. Neede to see Don Quixote and Seven Eleven. It has been to long.

[@Schrottkralle]

Thank you very much for taking us along with you visiting Otaru! My wife and I visited Otaru in March 2015. As far as I can see in your video not many things have changed during the past 7 years. Especially the fish market is still the same. We enjoyed some very delicious fish bowls there and excellent sushi as well. Hope we'll be able to visit again soon.

[@michaelhughes3273]

Don't forget the Zangi. Better than Karaage in many ways. Yum, 😋

[@theturquoisecoveredunicorn9443]

Shinichi, I just love how you react to snow and icicles, here in South Africa I have not seen snow around my home, it rarely snows and then just on the highest mountains :D

[@helvetiqa]

If you love architecture, you HAVE to come to Chicago, Shinichi! Come when it's nice enough to take the architecture river boat tour downtown. Things change so fast here that it's different every time you come. And even if you do come in winter, we plow our streets and sidewalks better than Otaru seems to (mostly! 😂)

[@lizadelima7024]

I love japan

[@clintoncoronel474]

💕 your videos even past ones. Tina

[@ctagious]

💖💖💖

[@rondalynneallen4018]

Like to see the markets.

[@pansiluscomputer5429]

ME TOO, BUT I NEVER BEEN IN OTARU , BUT MY NABOURS WET TO OTARU THEY TOLD ME HOW IT WAS BUT NOT TOO MUCH LIKE PLACES , FOOD , STORES . BUT I HERD THE WEATHER

[@pansiluscomputer5429]

WET - WENT

[@robynvandebussche5077]

I'm sorry I missed most of the live stream...but my Mom is ok

[@nemisis3006]

Maybe keep the batteries inside your coat. Keeps the battery as warm as possible.

[@davidyip6418]

Wait! Did Satoshi manage to a bandage for his finger? I sincerely hope so.

[@kattrablake7008]

I get the feeling Dinka hotia or how ever you spell it is a cross between an American Walmart and a dollar store.

[@visitacionmendoza7901]

What is the nsme of the market?

[@KH-qe5zf]

too bad you did not show us the glass factory/shop...

[@pittlatn]

EEEEEHHHH 😆

[@pandaplayz9462]

Could you start putting subtitles for the people that are talking Japanese because I haven't a clue what they are saying 😂
