How to Enjoy a Rainy Day in Japan

[@shakalksgamer7974]

Being a Rain loving person, this video was pleasing to the soul. Especially all the fog and forest at the top was so beautiful.

[@Asmodea01]

Right!. I don´t care for clear days, the foggy ones are the best

[@Amanda-vp8ou]

I love the rain as well. I would love to walk in the gorgeous forest in the rain

[@sarahhlt8036]

Pluviophiles unite!!!! (pluviophiles are ppl that love the rain to the extent of comfort) :) I dont like sunny days that much

[@WomanofGodTalitaCumi]

Yes 👌 so yugen

[@samkeys2485]

I want to ride that cable car right now. The whole thing reminds me a bit of Spirited Away.

[@large_uwu]

Mari Grey for me it seems more like princess mononoke, the thick woods and the beautiful scenery

[@wiiamz]

or just any Hayao Miyazaki movie ^^

[@AjanShadow94]

Mari Grey my thoughts exactly! I can’t wait to visit Japan. One day...

[@ericac5974]

Yes!!!!

[@Chameleonxx3]

She didn't get spirited away though and no demons showed up. =P

[@Hydrang3a]

From foreign eyes, your calligraphy work is amazeballs

[@paxvenus6476]

Trust me even for Japanese eyes, it is!

[@DutchieAbroad]

Okay, I won't lie, I literally teared up a bit when the cable car emerged from the tunnel and you could see those trees. That was just amazing! Definitely adding this to my travel list! The garden was really amazing as well. Thank you for sharing your trip with us!

[@yaimamartinez9576]

Dutchie in England oh, me too, I was like... What is wrong with you!?, it's so beautiful

[@wolfdefender01]

I did the same thing!! and the fog too made it extra mystical!

[@MistressBunyMomo]

OMG ME TOO!

[@JDMilitaria]

I'm very happy to see this comment, I thought it was strange for me to tear up, (being 20 adult M) so thank you very much for this comment !

[@Questchaun]

Dutchie in England thank you for not lying.

[@Poppin023]

i cant believe this time last year i was dreaming of moving to japan and this year im here. im still watching your videos. they went from motivating me to move here to now, where they inform my travel decisions now that im here. thank you.

[@Miquelalalaa]

MrShit I’m there are beautiful place in your country you can

[@callunya]

Cloudy, foggy mountains are absolutely gorgeous ♡♡♡

[@elizabeth.r9842]

Heather Danielle it was so mysterious too

[@shallowsleep15]

So beautiful! It did look like a scene out of a Ghibli film.The foggy ride up the mountain, the food, the garden with matcha - it all looked heavenly, and I felt relaxed watching this. すごく綺麗な場所をお撮りしてシェアしてありがとうございました。お疲れ様でした。😊

[@remaguire]

I LOVE the generosity of spirit of Japanese evidenced by the staff member giving you the tickets! One time I returned to Japan after a long sea deployment and I had to get back to Misawa wayyyy up north. I had never done this before, but I was expected to do it by myself, so I was bumbling my way through the process. Everybody from my unit who did the same thing as I took the train from Ueno. So, off to Ueno which was an adventure in itself. As I stood on the main concourse, most assuredly looking totally confused and desperate, a Japanese man in his 30s I would say came up and asked in broken English if I needed help. I was able to get through to him that I needed to get to Misawa on the night train and I had no idea how to do it. This gentleman told me that the ticket to Misawa would cost a certain amount of yen and for me to give it to him. I REALLY hesitated to do that, but something told me that I could trust him so I took a chance. He told me not to move from my spot. As he rushed off, I had a sinking feeling in my gut that I would never see him again and I was wondering what I was going to do. But...perhaps ten minutes later, this TRUE gentleman appeared on the horizon of the concourse with ticket (and change) in hand. He picked up my bag, walked me to the train platform, onto the train, and to my seat. Just writing this down now all these years later, I'm still blown away by his generosity. I truly wonder if it would happen anywhere else.

[@Metaltron1]

Just for my mental, emotional and spiritual health, I DEFINITELY need to do this!

[@amarahaliyan320]

Mee too

[@abbyrose1868]

That is the most beautiful breakfast I have ever seen 😫

[@fd-kirikab]

日本人でも知らないことを公開して貰って本当に感謝します。

[@moonstonepearl21]

Rainy days are my aesthetic, and an environment like this with all this beautiful nature and these scared spots in the mountains among the fog and clouds is perfect!

[@vishalsrivastava3656]

I love videos with RAIN, TREES, RIVERS, ANIMALS, And SILENCE..................The only sound of Nature.

[@givemeprimelaughter]

Japan's scenery is unlike anything I have ever laid eyes on. This is one of the reasons I want to visit. Not Tokyo, though I do want to experience that, but it is places like this that I want to immerse myself in. Absolutely stunning.

[@Ariel__Ariel]

一緒に旅行した気分になりました😍英語の勉強にもなりました

[@monster2slayer]

i love how enthusiastically you spoke of the view you could have had. it warms my heart to see this kind and warm optimism.

[@glendys6138]

the fog makes the trees and landscape look like a zen painting, so fitting. 行きたい !

[@smiritisri3636]

okayy my heart skipped a beat. that place is BEAUTIFUL like heaven. my wish is to go there and take my parents there with me. can't wait to finish collage and start working so I can take my parents to such peace ful place. best video ever

[@gersonm2368]

Wow what a beautiful place

[@alexandrab4887]

I'm loving these videos about Otsu! Ahhh I hope I can visit someday

[@Sabrange]

I wanted to cry during your video.... the landscapes are so beautiful and peaceful. I'm so happy that places like this still exists ! I'm aware that I will maybe never have the chance to go to Japan... so I want to thank you for all the stuff that you share with us 🌟 it's so amazing. 🖤 thank you for your videos !

[@XxHaylster98]

Sabrina A don’t say never

[@AvocadoToast-]

Your calligraphy/Kanji looked great, Sharla! :)

[@Slinger599]

Who else hits the like button as soon as they open up the video? Very peaceful video :) The scenery and atmosphere of the area indoors and out are so soothing just to look at! I'd never even know such a nice place existed if not for you sharing your awesome experiences and trips with us Sharla thank you!

[@tetutetubouzu5051]

筆使いが上手！　書き順も意識してるのがAwesome！ コンテンツの内容が、外国人の方々にも日本人にも本当にありがたい。

[@emnoe203]

滋賀に来てくれてありがとうございます🙏🏻😭✨ 近江八幡なども昔の街並みが残っていてとても素敵なので是非また来て下さいね♪

[@rachelfeuerstein5883]

Sharla, I don't know if you will see this, but I wanted to let you know that my husband and I are traveling to Japan now in part because of your videos! We took the cable car up to Enryaku-ji! It was magical for us! Thank you for all your work to show people Japan!!!

[@danielirvin4420]

You can't beat mountains and fog, perfect combination, especially so with a temple thrown in as well. : )

[@zhangcieng]

your trip to Otsu is so relaxing,therapeutic,and magical~ I can't wait to visit this beautiful place one day 💕 please continue to capture these moments for us Sharla! thanks you for your awesome footage and vlogs!!!

[@waltera4448]

Really loved the views, especially with the rainy weather and the fog/clouds. Also the calligraphy looked amazing.

[@adeusy]

Amazing Sharla reminds us historical and fantastic side of lost Japan. Appreciate your profound understanding and empathy for beauty of rural japan.

[@leslienunya3406]

I can't get over how stunning and magical this place was. I loved this video so much I bookmarked it so I can watch it again. For some reason it reminded me a little of Akira Kurosawa's Dreams - one of my favorite movies.

[@MetalOfHeaven777]

I am so glad you enjoyed your time in Otsu! It is such an underrated city that most people have never heard of, so I am so glad you were able to come and document your time here. Please come again!

[@heyitssharla]

+MetalOfHeaven777 I’m so surprised that it’s not a more commonly visited place!!! To be honest I like it a lot more than Kyoto😅

[@MetalOfHeaven777]

Sharla in Japan I know right? Kyoto's cool and all but it's so full of people and everyone has very similar experiences. Otsu is actually older than Kyoto, was the capital of Japan before Kyoto, and just overall has much more charm to it than Kyoto imo. I'm (frustrated no one told me you were coming) but very happy to see people finally beginning to discover what a great city this is. There is much more to Otsu that you have yet to experience, so please come again when you have the chance!

[@Beloved092]

The attention to every bit of detail and aspects to food and everything else is amazing. I’m part Japanese and I’ve only started taking interest in the language and culture as of late. Thanks for you’re videos, they’re sensational and somewhat comforting, it has a really nice feel with the way you explain everything also. I can not wait to experience all of this and more when I, one day, travel to Japan! You’re Japanese is on point as well 👍

[@mangageekgirl3457]

I seriously love these video's you do. Getting to see so many parts of Japan I'll probably never get to experience is just wonderful. This video especially sooths the soul! I love rain and fog and combined with that scenery... just amazing.

[@funkiefresh]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, comming out of the tunnel with the cablecar gave me chills! adding to bucketlist! thank you for showing me this

[@TheClosetHistorian]

This seems like the most perfect day! Gorgeous scenery!

[@heytheressydney]

omg the garden was so beautiful, i want to go there so bad!!

[@kleonstar]

The views were so breathtaking, Otsu is a really beautiful place.

[@kazuyasurioka5104]

I enjoyed a trip to Shizuoka in 5 days of raining because walking around cities and hiking made me warm with a great view.

[@mandyd2h530]

This was so fascinating. I love your travel vlogs best - I love getting to visit places I likely won’t be able to go myself through your videos. So fun. 😊

[@kimchi8022]

This is probably the most peaceful video on KZbin. Thank you so much sharla. I really needed this.

[@Mintfaery]

Gosh the tram ride was so gorgeous!! I can't imagine anything more beautiful or magical. What a wonderful experience, thank you for sharing this!

[@ac068286]

You have a very old Japanese soul. The way your calligraphy improved so much after only a few characters is remarkable!! You may be Canadian, but your personality is truly Japanese.

[@ikukoonofloyd2104]

I love this kind of cozy,traditional area. Thanks for sharing.

[@Althein]

I have been a silent follower for years but with this video I had the need to express how relaxing and wonderful it has turned out. It's perfect Sharla,thank you sooooooooo much

[@heyitssharla]

+Althein Aw thank you so much! So glad that you enjoyed it☺️

[@sunnyskies4628]

I know you did this in 2017 and I have watched a lot of your vlogs. This is one of my favorites! So peaceful!

[@meghanlyn92]

I booked two nights in Otsu after watching this video a week ago, and I've just arrived at the cable car coming from Kyoto this morning! Your videos have been such a help for my first time in Japan - travelling solo so it's like having someone here guide me through haha ☺️✨

[@vp4744]

Wow Sharla, your caligraphy penmanship is superb. You have great finger control. Maybe you coud do an entire program on just this skill. Impressive.

[@Big-boned_Pikachu]

That breakfast looked amazing! Thank's for sharing your trip!

[@tigoxgirl]

Thank you so much for sharing this. It is so beautiful and every meal looks so fresh and yummy! Good luck with finishing your calligraphy, looks like it's very difficult!

[@WolkeYume]

When I was living in Kyoto we would hike up the other side of Hieizan and it took us like 7 hours to get up to Enryaku-ji but it was one of the most magical experiences I ever had. The weather was great and Enryaku-ji's not as crowded as other temple which was nice. We even passed an abandonned ski slope that was creepy as hell and there's a cable car in the Kyoto side as well. I want to go back someday~

[@chibiangel9113]

It's so cool because there's not much people so it's nice and quiet lol the rain made it so magical

[@amandaggogo]

This entire video was just visually stunning, Japan is so beautiful!

[@illfayted]

Wow the food presentation in Japan is just the best! Everything was so beautiful, I think I might actually prefer the rain and fog.

[@Dave-nx4dq]

I really enjoy watching these kind of video's and see wonderfull places of Japan and gorgeous nature! the view from the cable car is amazing, specially wit the fog giving it something mysterious :) Also the garden looked like a wonderfull and peacefull place. I was really enjoying the garden and then BAM :"okay guys this is it, i'm going back home now." ?! I wasn't prepared for that! pffff...........

[@vilvero]

That cable car was amazing, but not only that. The whole place was beautiful!

[@0nan1banah]

「これが本来の延暦寺の姿なんです。」 「じゃぁ、良かったかもしれないです、これで。あははは」 たったこれだけの瞬間で、 発音も、受け答えも、言い回しも、あまりにも自然で、 Sharlaが日本に来たての頃の白い食パンの動画が頭をよぎって、なんて言えばいいんだろう？すごいなーって言う感じやら、時は流れたんだなーっていうか、なんか心が揺れちゃいました。

[@binoeearefin7730]

16:00 I can hear crickets..so relaxing!! Beautiful views 🏞️⛰️

[@SixAddams]

This is one of my favorite videos you have made. I live in a desert and rarely get to experience rain so this was nice to watch.

[@victoriarobertson6477]

I'm loving these videos. I love seeing parts of Japan off the tourist track. Thank you :) have a good weekend

[@MariannaVlogs]

Even with the fogginess that view looks like a painting. So beautiful!!!

[@megjoyce18]

This looks AMAZING. Sometimes Japan just doesn't even look real it's so beautiful. :)

[@dianechaniewski293]

This whole video was so beautiful! I think I much rather would have liked the cloudy/misty weather than a bright, sunny day. The ambiance just through the video was amazing, so I bet it even better in person! Thank you so much for a great video (and LONG too! extra work! ;) )

[@ziosamsamsam]

is this paradise???

[@animediyaaa7882]

you need to pay for that soo,, no

[@sunad2428]

so funny squishy sexy

[@sunshinecindy570]

I just love your videos! I’ve been binge watching them the last couple days since I found your channels. Japan is so amazing. Must add it to my bucket list. Gods blessings always!

[@kyosin-nobu1]

シャーラさん、日本人以上に日本を満喫していますね。それに過去に着物のモデル映像がありましたが、とても綺麗でしたよ。素晴らしいですね。ここで質問ですが、「着物」の着心地はいかがでしたか？

[@kira-003]

gfbh5b なんか言い方うざいなw

[@Chatana23]

I got a traditional japanese lunch in Kyoto last week and I had that sesame tofu... Soooo good! I think I love everything made with sesame (black sesame is my favorite ice cream flavor!)

[@alansu65ahus]

大津って行ったことないけどいい所ですね。自然がとてもきれい !! まさに日本の伝統を感じます。 日本人でさえ都会しか知らなくて、こういう所に来たことが無い若者がけっこう多いです。朝食も素敵 !!　　それに漢字の習字に挑戦したのが凄い。　毛筆なんて最近やったことがありません。　これからも楽しい動画を期待しています。

[@yellowrain3601]

Geez, is every inch of Japan beautiful??? WOW...and even the breakfast!!

[@WardHouse]

This video was like a very calm and peaceful meditation. I think I will re-watch it a couple of times. Perfect to come down after a stressful day. And I can totally imagine myself being there. just by watching the clip. So, thanks a lot!!! :)

[@FraeuleinLuischen]

Wow with this foginess the forest really looks magical. Like in mononoke hime 🌿

[@steffi0edge]

This was one of my favourite vlogs you've done. Such a beautiful place I felt at peace just watching you🌻

[@takumi_forever7072]

Oh sharla! Looking at your face the first thing in the morning is a blessing for the rest of the day!.😌😌

[@ShinagawaLily]

Wonderful Japan travel vlog! I teared up a few times it was so beautiful and interesting. When I lived there I use to love visiting Japanese temples when it was raining.

[@audrey9561]

That looks so beautiful! I’ll have to go there someday. Also that matcha 🍵 looks delicious! I love rainy, foggy days like that. I’m from New Hampshire and the cable car ride reminds me of being up in the white mountains as a child and riding up to the summit

[@LettersfromJapan]

Very timely, as it seems to be raining almost every day this fall.

[@steek006]

This was absolutely stunning! It is just so pretty and peaceful looking. Thank you for sharing!

[@amberlynmonroe]

So beautiful, even on a foggy day

[@lexymcqueen9961]

I absolutely love this video Sharla! So relaxing, beautiful and informative too!

Everyday that you put out a video is an enjoyable day thank you Sharla

[@KeezaPepper]

I was thinking everything looked like a Ghibli movie and then you said that out load 😂👌🏻

[@KeezaPepper]

Omg hahahhaa, loud. Idk what happened to me x,D (also I speak spanish so maybe I was too distracted)

[@_squizzle7067]

That matcha tea looked so good. Everything about this video was relaxing to watch, thanks! :)

[@geekyskye4279]

That looked amazing. I would love to experience that someday when I go to Japan. Thank you so much for sharing with us, Sharla.

[@moonstonepearl21]

I love how they made the food into dragonfly and flower shapes. It takes skill to shape food like that.

[@Punk3rGirl]

I LOVE rainy days 😍 cuz otherwise it's an average of 35 degrees celsius here all year round. And OMG that breakfast looks SO GOOD! 😋

[@liewchengyeh]

I love the misty rainy morning in japan

[@stardewserenity]

This was an amazing video! That view from the cable car was so beautiful!

[@hannahschneider9761]

Probably my favourite video of yours ever Sharla 💚 So calming and really inspired me. I've had a difficult week, and I have another on its way, but this video rejuvenated me somewhat. Would love to visit here some time xoxo

[@michaelbatts70]

WOW!! Another great video Sharla! Such a peaceful video too. I would love to go there!

[@DarkMagicSeptember]

I've been to a mountain train like that, when I was in Hakone! There were Hydrangea blooming everywhere, so pretty.

[@perdomot]

Loved this video! Really reminded me of my early trips to Japan, especially my trip to Kyoto. I remember drinking matcha at a similar garden in Kyoto and it was such a lovely experience.

[@Readera]

This video was so pretty! I want to visit that garden so bad now. It seems so peaceful. Thanks for showing it! :)

[@tammi6771]

It is beautiful up there. I loved how it looked with the fog.

[@BHallBrowser]

Such beautiful scenes and pathways! I would love to go there. Thanks for a great video!!

[@vanessarivera7963]

Gorgeous! I always love your adventures Sharla! Keep living your best life ♡

[@XShadowPrincessXx]

Japan is so beautiful even when it’s raining!

[@ratznefumel]

Looks like rokku mountain in kobe. Really beautiful on a rainy day. This brings back a lot of memories.

[@michantomi5733]

Japan is my number one destination to travel some day

[@mangokittymonkey]

The ride in the cable car was magical!
