[@graffittikk]

@Kirami MAT Now, I'm living and studying in London. I am going back to Kochi in two years.

[@graffittikk]

@@takutakutakkunn5498 ぜひ！四万十だけでなく、高知市内もひろめ市場とか桂浜とかいろいろあって美味しいものも食べられるのでオススメです！

[@amalie7039]

It’s great to see you in Japan, I have been watching you for a long time and you inspired me to learn Japanese

[@bluefireelement]

It would be great to have a guide on how you find all these fun things to do outside the main tourist spots! (Vegan travel tips would be nice too ;) )

[@overthemoon7690]

You've really opened my eyes! The Japanese countryside looks so much fun and authentic in comparison to Tokyo! Kochi looks picturesque!

[@oliviadouglas9474]

I love how happy and enthusiastic those guys were! They truly looked like they love what they do! 😄❤

[@stephanierestlessinseattle5261]

I am old and I have a old cousin who came for a visit . People my age (40) really do not know anything about KZbin besides music videos. I love that all week during her visit I got to show her your videos and all my favorite KZbinrs. She had no idea people film things like this. THANKS I looked so cool and young and hip showing her all your cool travel videos!!!

[@NB0RGER]

This summer i spent 3 weeks of my 6 week Japan trip in Kochi. And seeing you do so much awesome things makes me really wanna go there again, the best thing I did there was doing a bike trip trough the Mountains.

[@TheNaomeister]

5:10 "It's six thirty, time to get up", and here Sharla is looking awesome already! You looked like you had so much fun on this trip! It's really cool seeing these less-traveled parts of Japan, and how excited and welcoming the locals are!

[@zeitgeistzeku]

For your information for all of you looking to visiting Japan, Ryokans often show prices per person, not by a room, and this is because most of the time the price comes with breakfast, dinner and unlimited bathing in the onsen.

[@EnigmaDave]

It's nice they provide the outdoor bathing area as well as the onsen. The river seemed like SO MUCH FUN!

[@shakalksgamer7974]

Thank God it's a three parter! Love the new editing style with the chill music!! 😍

[@sharlainjapan]

Shakalks Gamer Aw thank you so much! It’ll be two parts, last one will be up in two days! 😊♥️

[@bmau09]

This video reminds me of my vacation in May 2017, when I visited Kochi and Tokushima Prefectures for about 3 weeks. My host in the city of Kochi offered some great hospitality. Motoyama is a relaxing town. I especially enjoyed staying with a kind host in Motoyama, and hanging out at the Missy Sippy Cafe. The Sunday market in Kochi has a festive atmosphere, and there's some great food at the market. I also went on a side trip to Sakawa. In Otoyo, I met a generous man who invited me to his home in the countryside. Overall, I enjoyed the laid back feel of Kochi Prefecture and the beautiful scenery.

[@theglobalcitizenship]

Thank you very much for sharing some ideas to see Kochi. I was given a project by TripAdvisor and Kochi Tourism Marketing Agency to look into experiences and things to see/do in the area to produce a video guide and your video has helped me get an understanding of what to look out for in the based on their itinerary. It is good to see content creators still flourishing even during this tough period so I hope you and your loved ones remain safe! Keep creating!

[@LoveMeDontHate77]

Kochi is the birthplace of yosakoi! I’m on 1/5 of the yosakoi teams in the us! I hope to one day explore kochi and dance there!

[@quieshehope1352]

Oh the rapids looked so fun even your fall in the water looked enjoyable. The hotel looks so relaxing!

[@shallowsleep15]

Beautiful! I love seeing different areas of Japan. Those men that worked at the boat place were so cute and energetic. Ryokans look so relaxing. I like the vibe more than a regular hotel. Can’t wait to stay in one someday.

[@dianechaniewski293]

Thanks for sharing Sharla! Your trip with Micaela looked amazing...I cannot believe the baths!! Your videos are so wonderful to watch--thank you for all of the hard work and time you put into them. Safe travels for your next adventure! :)

[@Punk3rGirl]

Micaela looks SO GOOD AS A RED HEAD! She should keep this colour forever 😊

[@dj_koen1265]

This channel has really grown on me Much love from the netherlands

[@perdomot]

Awesome video. Love seeing Sharla and Micaela together.

[@22GypsyGirl]

OMG how perfect I wish I could go away for 3 days with a friend and just chill and have fun

[@procrastination4679]

That dude was so awesome and we got to see him for like 5 seconds.

[@rampager89]

Such a surprise to see such a vid. Thanks Sharla! i will be returning to Japan next May... cant wait!

[@Kdryall96]

Ugh I miss your videos you should definitely post more!! 😩❤️

[@ShanaLeigh]

I love exploring the countryside in Japan. I spent 2 years living in Shiga, and now I live in Kyoto city, but I always make trips and adventure to the countryside. It's just so beautiful! I want to go to Shikoku in the future.

[@ShanaLeigh]

Also, I have some friends coming to visit. What do they need to do to get those gift cards?

[@blue_anime_cat2526]

I love videos from your new home in Korea BUT i really appreciate that you stil show us around in Japan. This country has such a beauty and It's important that the people recognize that there is so much more then the big cities to see!😻meow🐱

[@lilfurrypaws]

Can't wait to see more! I want to go to Japan so much.

[@lmolinaherrera]

Everything looks amazing ! I really want to go to japan !

[@frizzcase8726]

Loved seeing a peek of a different area and the outdoor sports! Also Sharla.. you look so lovely with your hair a little wavy/curly!!! After you got out of the water i thought it looked so nice!

[@Alaby]

Greetings from Canada! Thank you so much Sharmander for another amazing video, I have visited Japan 4 times now, and plan on living there for a while with my wife. I love how you present the country :)

[@danielle8585]

OWAH IM THE FIRST VIEW EXCELLENT TIMING 😂😂 Kochi looks so peaceful, I feel like I'd enjoy it more than Tokyo even though I'd still like to go to Tokyo

[@bridgetteb4112]

I can’t wait to see more videos. I love the countryside videos, helps me plan my trip better. This location is definitely on my list.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

[@lm-pw9ul]

[@リナーズ]

Thank you for coming to Kochi!!

[@raccoonruby86]

How is your makeup always so on point?! Even during and after water sports!!! What, what!!! ;)

[@danicatempleton6745]

Wet hair, rumbling down a dirt road on a sunny day after an adventure. What a mood.

[@taobui2378]

Wow Kochi is so beautiful! It makes me want to visit Japan even more :)) Thank you for sharing this video with us, it was very enjoyable! Love you Sharla!

[@jeninflorida2690]

this looks amazing., and that bridge looks like something out of an anime

[@ILLFEABEE]

This trip looks like sooo much fun! I'll be taking some notes for a trip someday.

[@Jiiji32]

待ってましたぁ~ 朝早くから動画のアップありがとうございます。

[@sora1035]

Currently I've lived in Canada for 5months and missed Japanese food so bad. Your video makes me feel I want to stay in 旅館 right now haha

[@heartlessxworthless]

You’re so lucky! My father is from Kochi and I haven’t visited(Kochi or Japan for that matter) since I was three years old. I haven’t been able to make it over there because I’ve been so busy.

[@vp4744]

This is more fun than watching two guys get lost bicycling. ;=)

[@isabellanoviello3372]

Hi sharla! The food looked so yummi! enjoy your trip!

[@chiaragotti7326]

I love your japan video , I miss there so much

[@ManJamLyn27]

That bridge you drove across is straight out of my nightmares oh my gosh that looks scary! The watersports look fun though!

[@joelxrun]

omfg that morning onsen was some mystic straight out of a music video setting with the music lol thank you for this review I couldn't even pause to add periods

[@JBdamnthatshot]

With water that beautiful, I probably wouldn't be able to resist taking a dip (or several falls) in! LOL looking forward to seeing more adventures!

[@JSN723]

Nice video Sharla! You should make a series in the future taking a Korean person who has never been to Japan before and show them some cultural stuff/food that is similar but done differently in Japan or something. Cultural exchange kinda thing.

[@jeshiedesu]

your food looks so yummy and your hotel room, especially the bathroom, looks so beautiful 😍 I definitely have to visit Kochi!

[@upcyclucie]

The instructor guy is so cute!! 😍😍😍

[@pinzon_pj]

Will definitely go here the next time I’ll go to Japan

[@victorianones2369]

I can't wait to go there one day😭I hate being stuck in the states, especially baton rouge lol

[@Yuyu99000]

Omfg everything was simply amazing. I was speechless the entire video😮😮😮

[@もふもふぴにょん]

シャーラちゃん！！久しぶり！！動画嬉しい、ありがとう！！

[@sharlainjapan]

見てくれてありがとうございます！😊♥️

[@cartier2312]

That face when you finally got what you always wanted for Christmas lol when you get to 9:56 pause the video and look at that smile ,eyes and adorableness lol

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

Sharla, you look SO amazing that it’s almost difficult to see the beautiful scenery. :)

[@scottmoxie]

Yay!! I really want to go to Japan

[@tamarapavolva1965]

Looks so beautiful there! 😍

[@emalinel]

Dude your SUP class instructors looked so friendly and excited xD now I really wanna travel to Kochi!!

[@sweeppeech]

So cool!!! What a lovely place to stay 😍

[@tstires1]

Japanese characters (letters) looks like art to me

[@aleenr4425]

You look so beautiful in the thumbnail!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@tammi6771]

Very beautiful area! It looked like a lot of fun!

[@Rei.Eatsfoods]

the food looks stunning & so satisfying

[@enoshika7947]

Beautiful shots! I want to book a flight to Shikoku right now!

[@celcius_87]

Looks like a lot of fun!

[@Fanoflife11]

This is so weird, I've been watching your videos for years, and when I moved to Japan, you moved to Korea 😅 but now I'm going to Kochi at almost the exact same time! It would have been cool to run into you, but I guess I'll always just miss you by a sliver lol

[@lpuik]

SUP boards were really popular in Finland this year and you could see people using them pretty much everywhere just wearing their swimsuits so it's funny to see all the equipment Sharla had on hehe. I guess the river they were on is dangerous.

[@mamantequilla]

Aww so pretty, so much fun!!! ❤🌈👏🎆

[@cozy_nostalgia]

So cool and pretty! What an Island

[@ru7984]

Those guys from the SUP were sooo cute! All jumping!

[@sharlainjapan]

They were so much fun!!! :D

[@Rock_N_Rob]

Love it Shar! New Sub here! Love learning about the areas you visit.

[@sharlainjapan]

Thanks Rob! Welcome to the channel :D

[@rc-wingman5719]

IT's warm... That's cool!

[@middleofsomewhere444]

That area is so beautiful

[@KansaiGaijin]

I also went to Kochi about two days after you! I'm not as experienced a vlogger as you but I've got two videos so far of my trip on my page.

[@kochichris]

Lovely relaxing nature...great fresh food

[@alondraalvarez6066]

That water sports look pretty awesome shame I can't swim.

[@Disappointed739]

Sweet potato sticks 7:40 are "imo kempi". Deepfried mountain sweet potato sticks coated in candied sugar.

[@dianabeets5854]

wow very beautiful,love your videos

[@emilyk4146]

Hi Sharla, I am loving your travel videos!! Very inspiring. Actually, my husband and I want to visit Iwate this November for the 3-day weekend thanks to your great review of the area. Do you have any ryokan recommendation? We'd like to get into the mountain/countryside a bit but don't have a car, so we're having a hard time deciding on a place to stay. Thank you

[@Gantorin]

I like the new text graphics you included... not sure if they have always been there, but just noticed them now. I enjoy finding out what places you go next in Japan... not to throw shade on Korea, because I enjoy them too. I only have room for trying ro visit one country at a time, so no plans for trying Korea yet. Still trying to learn Japanese... lol I'm older, so if it is not art or music I do not learn as fast. Japanese writing is like art to me, so I am pocking that up fast... grammer... not so much, but trying my best. 2 FUN FACTS: Only two rivers in the northern hemosphere flow away from the equator. The Nile River (Eygpt of course), and The St. Johns River in Florida. I swam in the St Johns, but fun fact #2 is in Florida there is a rule... If there is water (lake, river, or even a pool in some cases) there are most likely gators, and must be treated as such. But I stll like to wake board in them. :D Never forget the last one... could save your life. I have jetskiied to remote parts of the St. Johns, and while on the jetski sitting with engines off... have been surrounded by gators poking their heads in and out of the water. No danger... but there were atleast 10, and they had to bet at least 7 to 12 feet long. It was exciting.

[@take20080606]

Kochi is good place! my Hometown

[@edzelmejia3233]

Happy October 17 2018 to all Canadians.

[@pipsplace9072]

Loove this!!

[@RebeccaPayne]

That very cool , want to go to Japan :)

[@田中早苗-e1g]

Shimanto City is a small city in Japan, but nature is rich and good place. There are many different kinds of places in Japan. Please try looking.

[@SenorWizard]

Loving the video so far! Stumbled upon your channel thanks to Abroad In Japan. Before I forget, what is the name of the song that kicks off at the very beginning of your video??? It reminds me of Persona 5 and I love it lol. Also, did you get to make it to Itsukushima yet? That was one of my favorite places when I visited, though sadly the tide was in so we couldn't make it all the way to the gate. Still beautiful though.

[@BrittanyChenteale]

i need to visit there for the private onsen alone

[@nissanpacific9793]

This is so awesome 🤓🤓🤓

[@Lisab8693]

Wow the seen is so beautiful

[@mallomere]

[@mauricezawilson7380]

[@shogo19970]

OMG I’d never watched foreigners vlog of my Hometown! I hope you enjoyed Kochi :)

[@sharlainjapan]

I loved it! One of my favourite places in Japan now :) ♥️

[@kansaibeyond]

I made the mistake of getting an outdoor bath in late spring... all the spiders that appear at night omg....... never doing that again, at least, only in the winter time! (BROTIP)

[@sharlainjapan]

cyberslowpoke oh shit that sounds like an absolute nightmare haha
