Beautiful Japan. Very nice to see something happy and pretty. Good job my lovelies. Mum ❤️🥰❤️🥰

The Japanese are such friendly people. I was there last year and loved what I saw. I need to get back. Your music has really improved. Well done.

[@bobobbeatz]

Whoop whoop! That was very uplifting in such an uncertain time. And about time the UK was added to your world map!! :-)

[@bayls8422]

My gorgeous wife introduced me to high quality soy sauce 8 years ago after a break of about 30 years since my mum introduced me to Kikkoman Soy in the 70s. Kikkoman was fine but my Aussie taste buds didn’t realise what I was missing. Now I think “good” soy sauce is life and have it frequently. How blessed I was to met my wife and have her expand my culinary world.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Glad you liked it. It wasnt an easy thing to do. But i had fun giving it a go. I m having troubles with the image quality in low light. Recording at the right time when Naomi was giving information and without making her feel uncomfortable.

Hello guys, wow, amazing video enjoying until the end, so instructive and inspiring. Hope you both are well . Keep them rolling and happy trails. Stay healthy. :-))

[@andrewcgillespie]

Beautiful. My Grandfather lived in Solihull, England, right across from the Land Rover production plant. My daughter is Japanese, so your channel is close to home on many fronts. Look forward to you coming to the States.

[@bernyelizondo7879]

Leigh on frenchy mode... quite unique accent. What about some Steph going on Aussie accent? jajajaja. Curious thing, social distancing is a most nowadays, and here you are, on your sauce, staying away from people like any other day. Lucky those to find this channel on Quarantine. Ice-cream plus SoySauce hmmm... 15 seconds later... jajajajaja and pop-corns too? Awesome and unexpected. Me going Homer Auummm! soy-sauce on anything!!!

[@hanaridley9749]

Shodoshima, nicknamed 'Olive island' because of its main produce of olives. I suspect, the ferry you took at the end of the video was the Olive line to Himeji. Himeji castle is now twinned with Conwy Castle in North Wales - the very same North Wales where the Land Rover was first conceived. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJOykqN3prejeKs (Official Land Rover video)

We visited Kyoto a few weeks ago, such a beautiful city 😊 We have been exploring Fuji region and now we are going rock climbing for a few days to the south of Fuji.

[@elrey8876]

Beautiful work on the footage at sea. Brave to send your little drone out knowing it has to return to a moving target you are not in control of. I was shocked at the price of the soy sauce after seeing how much work and time went into it. Looked like $4.50 US? That's cheaper than supermarket soy sauce here.

[@leighdearle5965]

Hello mate I have to come clean... I wasn't brave enough to fly the drone from the ferry. I flew it from the terminal before we left 😜 Steph's movie magic at play there 😉 We put the Soy sauce price as we were also amazed at the price, yes that is correct only $4.50!

[@elrey8876]

@@leighdearle5965 Haha! A peek behind the curtains. I went to the Yamaroku Shoyu website and ordered a bottle of their 4-year-old. In the order comments, I said I saw it on your KZbin channel. There are places charging $40-50 per bottle on Ebay and Amazon - crazy

Dear Stephanie & Leigh. Can you see the incredible face at the 2.29 min point in this video? God Bless

[@leighdearle5965]

😁😁😁 Absolutely! I saw it when I was flying the drone, we thought that everybody would notice it. Seems like you are the first 😉 It was amazing, like it had been carved into the rock but definitely a natural feature.

[@hughbatchelor8599]

@@leighdearle5965 Hi Leigh. Good to get a response from you. Thats amazing you saw it while flying, because quite often one doesn't till you play it back. You guys make lovely videos of your world travels. Keep up the good work. I'm sorry I can't contribute via Patreon as I had already been supporting other more vital channels. Maybe when and if any of them go down I can support you. Good on you for doing the tour in a Landy. Just an observation with the drone videos I have noticed a lot of them look over exposed which has caused the depth and colour to burn out. Either increase your shutter speed or set the EV to a negative slightly. If you want to retain the slower shutter then consider ND filters to decrease the aperture which will give your shots that vibrance which seems to be lacking. BTW, how long did you spend in South Africa/Namibia? Otherwise keep up the good work. God Bless. Hugh

[@willardr100]

Gaffa tape... even more useful than soya sauce. 👍

[@thlim1460]

The Angel Road was incredible. Surely it is man-made?? How could it be like that in nature?

[@kevandesilva5634]

Hi, i'm just curious how you guys maintain this kind of life style while you don't actually go to work. I have been thinking about travelling with a land rover defender too. I own a series 88 which is my first car. Also, i definitely loves ur defender set up. Practical and specious. Was wondering will you guys visit south east asia one day? I'm from malaysia. Goodluck!

[@jtsinspain]

Hi, just hoping you chaps are ok. I imagine there is s certain gap between recording the footage and posting the video, so one wonders if you are in confinement. Been viewing other overlander channels and many travellers like you are locked down, or have flown "home"; Are you following Sara and Luca in Argentina? Keep safe

[@leighdearle5965]

Hello Thanks for the comment. We are very good, in Japan no lock down as yet. The country is not panicking like other countries. We are keeping informed through official Japanese government sources.
