"I'm so glad I'm alive" That guy is a inspiration

[@livesimplyandhumbly]

Soooo quiet and peaceful. No music blasting from cars or people's phones. No rowdy people. Trust and tranquility. This is paradise. It is almost impossible to create such a environment in America. Diversity has its good and bad sides.

[@maddmitten]

Ryusoke is so awesomely positive - I cannot get enough of his infectious energy 🌏☮

[@TexaninTokyo]

Oh thank you!! That makes me so happy!! :D yay for everyone~ (Ryosuke)

[@emilyk4146]

Grace *sad* , Ryosuke: "let's get ice cream for you honey." His husband game is strong.

[@sad_depressed_weeb4996]

*It's like Japan is infused with nature*. *Great video and matching background music*.

[@atlantis_expedition_member4747]

The music was perfection.

[@heatherbarnes7179]

the music you use for these videos is so peaceful and serene and fitting for the areas!!

[@StrikeFreedom1920]

"The best kind of food is you have fun while eating it"....very wise words my friend lol

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thanks! Yay for best kind of food! :)

[@Cara_girlwithhat]

Don't ever be sorry about food/eating in your videos; learning about food while seeing different places is just wonderful.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Oh yay!

[@LauraBeutler]

The more food the better! I love seeing all the different foods you eat on your travels and the meals you make at home.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thanks! We love, love, LOVE food - it's always fun when other people do too!

[@jakubmakalowski6428]

Besides its still a lot less than on japanese tv(unless things changed recently. I don't have a set)

[@Stoneysilence]

That little village from the first part of the video was so cute. That is one of the things I love about watching videos about Japan is its mixture of New and Old.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Yeah! That's what I love about Japanese countryside :) (Ryosuke)

[@Stoneysilence]

We have a little bit of that in the States but it's mostly 1950's towns that have since had their local source of income dry up. Some rare occasions a old west type of town.

[@gabrielalopez2512]

I am SO in love with the way this video was shot and edited 😭😍

[@hyperbunnygirl101]

watching this at 430 in morning because i can’t sleep and I love you guys :D

[@ginaC53]

This was a wonderfully shot and edited video, I really like the day in my life series, and there is no such thing as too many food videos. The end.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thank you! We both took turns editing it and are really proud of how it turned out :D

[@starwoman263]

Love your show. I'd like to make a suggestion how about a top ten things tourist should do and/or not do while in Japan?

[@starwoman263]

Also the bowing at the temple could you explain what the reason behind it? I assume it is respecting the gods/ goddesses and ancestors?

[@SolenaRift]

Thank you for sharing your travel experience. I find your channel enjoyable.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thank you!

[@noeinroad7294]

When I saw the mountains, I thought back to the comic you made about your mountain hike with husband and father in law :)

[@pozzo6828]

Beautiful video. Really beautiful.

[@bunnyfire58]

You two would make great personal tour guides! Watching you and Ryosuke are the next best thing to being there....

[@TexaninTokyo]

Weirdly enough, I reeeeaaaaally wanted to be a tour guide when I first got to Japan. I tried looking all over for a job before giving up and getting a different job.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Awww That's just so sweet! I really appreciate it!

[@brittanymorgan4308]

omg i love you guys so much you guys are like the most relatable for me personally keep making the good videos sending you good vibes from Canada

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thanks!

[@Lauren_765]

I like watching the different foods, please don't stop

[@Montezuma03]

That temple in the woods is so magical. Wow

[@kimberleeskye]

Just started watching your videos this month and they make me very nostalgic for Japan. I worked as a JET in Toyama for 3 years and by the end, I was very ready to leave. It's nice to now be able to watch your videos and think fondly on those memories rather than frustration/angst. All the best on your travels!

[@dff1286]

what a fun trip. I love that your vacations are defined by good food. My wife and I do the same thing. I also really enjoyed the nice background music.

[@dff1286]

my favorite moment " This table is reserved for beautiful people...........and he is sitting down." Ryosuke is the coolest.

[@SpasticMac2008]

I absolutely love watching y'all's videos. Ryosuke's energy and positivity are absolutely infectious! Super jealous of all y'all's adventures. This Texan hopes to go to Japan someday too!

[@nicholasloehr759]

I have been struggling with depression and watching your daily vlogs really brings me a sense of happiness and joy I have always wanted to move to Japan to pursue a career in Anime/Manga thank you both for being such beautiful people. ^_^

[@Ellestril]

I love that you guys always vary clearly show how to pray at the shrines and temples you visit, makes me hopeful I'll do the right thing when I get to visit one some day!

[@EvaChung]

Haha, I love it when you guys try new foods or eat different dishes. It lets me make a mental note of what I want to eat whenever I go to Japan ;P

[@noorai.6766]

You've inspired me to plan a small getaway ;) Thanks a million for sharing your experiences with us 😊

[@maybeido03]

Watching your videos are very relaxing. I'm from Taiwan.

[@one30am]

Oh, and I love your travel and temple/shrine cinematography. Paired with the music, it's so calming.

[@krism3667]

the main reason i watch is for the food. lol

[@angelofdeath7739]

me 2 lol

[@nataliedubious5241]

yep, love the food!

[@alexisballard07]

same tho lol

[@TexaninTokyo]

Glad y'all are interested in the food we show!!

[@alexisballard07]

that's why I came here is for the food but now I just watch cause I like watching what you do differently :) very cool to watch

[@cheyennebice3702]

wow, I've always been interested in Japanese culture, but you guys have inspired me to begin learning Japanese and actually start taking steps to go there someday. thanks so much for making these videos :)

[@emmanueltrinidad7740]

One thing I remember about being in Aizuwakamatzu...the red cow! And heavy snow fall!

[@tinah.2089]

"because our love is tasty hunny!"- I'm gonna say this to my husband haha! why is he so adorable!

[@Quagthistle]

Watching you guys explore your lives together is simply a delight! You two are SO adorable together! Thank you for sharing some of your days with us and showing us all these amazing, beautiful elements of Japanese culture! :)

[@elliex3370]

So happy you are still filling in your temple book! After watching your previous video on it I'm inspired to do the same when I visit Japan!

[@CadesMummy1]

Love you guys and especially love when you show what your eating. I'm from Australia and your food looks so much more interesting! Thank you for the videos.

[@TK-hs8pt]

it is nice to see japan through the eyes of you guys.

[@mariaholmstead4508]

that shrine is the the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! and that hiking trail looks beautiful too. those trees are so high! lovely video!

[@Sailor-Rose]

I smiled so big when I saw this in my subscription box :3 Thank you so much for sharing your days with us.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Awww that's so sweet! hehe guess what? Now I am smiling ~ :)

[@matthewwilson6097]

I think this was one of your best videos! It might be the magic of the places you visited. When you were at the shrine saying "Wow!", I was right there with you saying "wow" also. Great job!

[@riverbank7971]

Fukushima- loved the mascot for the power plant company- Fukuppy. Looks very pretty, like a lot of Japan, I really like how they have been able to keep the countryside and still cram a ton of people in such a small island chain.

[@ezzelofficial7563]

Welldone on the filming! Also really good content.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thanks! So good to hear that! We are motivated to work harder~ :D

[@jamesfry8983]

what percentage of Fukushima is still uninhabitable due to high levels of radiation

[@haworld4810]

I miss you guys 😢

[@amandastamison7280]

No such thing as too much food! My kids and I love these videos, especially when you try new foods!

[@geoffscott5066]

Really nice video. Makes me want to travel back to Japan very soon. Luv the relaxed style you guys use.

[@Groktargash]

Thank you for taking us along with you on your trip. I wish I could go for real someday.

[@edwinmarcosgonzalesjaimes8395]

that beautiful place looks like it's timeless... another place to visit on my list, thank you for showing us the simpler and "day-to-day" side of things.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thanks! Glad you like it :) I really LOVE the rural parts of Japan and hope more people get a chance to visit them!

[@edwinmarcosgonzalesjaimes8395]

I live in the rainforest in Perú, on the city of "Tingo María" next to the "bella durmiente" mountain (that mountain literally looks like a girl sleeping) and is also really beautiful but on a completely different way. btw, i got to your channel binge-watching youtube videos of japan cooking... and... i saw a "wild Ryosuke" making a strange food i never heard off (almost 4 months ago) sisnce then i got hooked on your cahnnel, keep the good work and best of lucks.

[@draicr]

I really love your videos, it doesn't matter if you're eating in them or not, I prefer seeing you eat all those traditional meals, such lovely places. You guys are my favorite youtubers because of the freshness and themes of the videos. Whenever you come to Mexico let me know please, I will try to be your guide.

[@janicenapoleon1911]

Some of those places and scenery reminds me of Totoro or one of Hayao Miyazaki films!!! I enjoy watching your videos!!

[@mohamedhelal3888]

I have been watching your videos for a 1 week and I have got too addicted that i have watched all of your videos about A day in my life and more others from your channel. I really love Japan and it is my No.1 country that I would really like to visit. I love you guys and I hope to meet you in person when I visit Japan. Stay positive and cheerful. :)

[@rebekaporter2974]

This was such a beautiful video!! And the nature and temples were absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Thanks for sharing! :D

[@sam2012world]

Your vlogs are awesome!!! I always feel like I'm traveling with you guys!

[@teraphIl1000]

I feel like I always comment on the food, but the food you guys eat always seems so good! TwT

[@TexaninTokyo]

Who doesn't love food? haha I just love food so much! Especially interesting food! (Ryosuke)

[@vladest]

Except the fish on a stick. Sorry, yuck.

[@zeenarasul]

that place is soooo beautiful & enchanting 💚 ! ur soft music selection made it even more soothing to watch👌

[@frostasaurus2190]

The way this video was edited was fantastic. I felt peaceful watching it.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Yay! That's what we wanted y'all to feel while editing this! Peaceful and relaxing! Yay (Ryosuke)

[@VelvetJazz]

Such a beautiful couple, so in love. You’ll make wonderful parents.

[@ChangitaLove]

I also love seeing all the food you guys eat! It's cool to see food from a different culture! :D

[@LunarWildRose]

Yay! My twin Micky and I just caught up on all of your 'Day In My Life" videos! 😸 Twas like a fun movie, and imagine our delight when you guys uploaded this particular one, just as we thought we were finishing up ~ so happy, so happy! 😸😸😸 Love all that the both of you do; keep up the wonderful work!! ♡ You guys make us look forward to studying//visiting Japan. 👼

[@kiararosebloom5718]

The music is amazing,

[@teevelee7623]

Hi! I love you guys. You 2 make a great couple. You're so serious and he is so silly. You both balance each other out. Keep up the good blog.

[@jeromemckenna7102]

You really look like you're having fun. The food looks good.

[@flippyhairproduction]

Great video, Grace! I was really excited when I saw this was posted. Love the day in the life videos, especially when yall are travelling. :)

[@godders976]

I miss Japan!! it's so beautiful

[@marh216]

"I'm so glad I'm alive" this made my day :D I love your vlogs!

[@jaspr1999]

You two are so sweet! Love your videos and I learn SO much! As for eating as much as you guys do for videos, it helps us learn a little more about the food through reaction to it and commentary on it. For example, natto is something that I would like to sample but it seems to be a love it or hate it item, but I would try it based on your guys description.

[@TexaninTokyo]

I am so glad to hear that you learn a lot from our videos! That just makes us happy!

[@Deniera]

D'aaaaw, Ryosuke is so sweet to do the outro for Grace while she's almost asleep :3

[@sammilin7713]

10:06-10:28 a) Grace is actually me b) This is the relationship I strive to have XD (Ice cream solves all problems) I really loved the quality and content of this video! Keep up the great work!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thanks :3 Ice cream totally DOES solve all problems :)

[@jakubmakalowski6428]

Except for dairy allergies deshyo.

[@TochiTama]

Awesome video, very relaxing to watch. Such a nice place, thanks for sharing. :)

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thank you for enjoying our video!

[@minavb8185]

soooo happy to see a vid from you 😊 enjoy your day and regards from Amsterdam!!!

[@nickilou7]

Thank you for another great video! Love your travel videos 👍🏻

[@someonesmommy1]

Loved Japan and can't wait to go back ! Thanks for taking us around on your trip, it was beautiful of course. mickey

[@TexaninTokyo]

Hi Mickey! Thank you for joining our little trip :) yay!!

[@caleighrosebud]

I like watching your videos when I wake up. It makes getting out of bed much nicer and easier haha. Everything looks so beautiful there. Glad y'all had a fun time!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Glad we help you get up in the morning! Hope your day goes awesome!!

[@slmeyers464]

These are sooooo fun. I love the food in your videos. I am interested to know what foods you two love (every kind of food!) and dislike! I know you have dairy allergies, Grace--is it just cow's milk? can you have other kinds of milk products? is there something you love so much you eat it even though you shouldn't? You and your sponsors find you the most beautiful places to visit!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Yup! I have a cow-milk allergy. Goat milk and sheeps milk are okay (in small doses). Cream puffs are my weakness as well as certain types of ice cream. I always regret it the next day, hahaha.

[@carracoleman1988]

So entertaining!! Love watching so much. I finally caught up, I am totally hooked, can't wait for the next video. Love from Louisiana, USA

[@aireaivy9266]

Great video Grace and Ryosuke!! XD So funny and loving the food moments >< Always making me hungry though. Oh well. ^^

[@robloxroundhead3934]

Y'all are such an adorable couple. I really enjoy the videos And don't stop showing all that food. It looks so good.

[@TexaninTokyo]

Hahahahaha thanks!

[@cheryldranov9605]

I love the music used in this video!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thanks :3

[@TheSumom1]

I love watching you travel and eat !!

[@AlexIlk]

You two are just so adorable.

[@heyPhotographer]

I love seeing all the different food! Makes me wish I had those experiences. Maybe one day I will be able to travel, and if I do then I'd bring my daughter and allow her such experiences as well! Love your videos, you and Ryosuke are wonderful!

[@TexaninTokyo]

I hope you and your daughter get a chance to travel to Japan!

[@heyPhotographer]

Texan in Tokyo I hope so too, that would be a dream come true! I have always loved everything about Japan, the culture, foods, etc etc. That is like the #1 place I want to travel!

[@NikkiCox81]

Agree with the others, the music was amazing in this video. I have been in love with the rural temples since I watched an anime called Natsume Yuujinchou. Such a sweet and sad story of Natsume. I love learning about Japan and the culture. I hope to be able to visit someday!

[@franstains3373]

Tyvm (Thank you very much ) I enjoy your videos... Food, travel, experiences .

[@John77Doe]

Umm, isn't Fukishima, the radioactive place?

[@judithyeoh_isjudify]

it's like saying the while state is radioactive. no, only the northen coastal area is cut off.

[@coffemaker200]

John Doe I just looked it up and the area near the nuclear plant is off limits. A good section of the prefecture has elevated radiation levels, but these radiation levels are comparable to the regular radiation found in cities like Denver, and most everywhere else has levels that are comparable to other places around the world

[@ikaruseijin01]

It's an entire prefecture (state), the accident happened in a small area on the coast. Because something happens in Spokane, Washington doesn't mean there's a problem in Seattle.

[@angelofdeath7739]

Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the radioactive places

[@wwaxwork]

I think they mean the Nuclear power station leak after the earthquake/tsunami not the bombs. And yes that's the place of the accident but as others have said it's a state not a city so they are safe where they are.

[@FleurDeCrystal95]

I actually watch most of your videos because of the food ! Food is life !

[@saphyreXice]

Love these vlogs and the little history lessons =^._.^=

[@tazman5296]

Grace, Ryoske...this is one of your more beautiful videos yet. I really enjoy all your other videos too, but for some reason the music and the countryside and everything you experienced is just so moving. I was also wondering if you had someone with you helping with some of the filming? Anyway, continue having a happy and loving life and we will continue watching. Arigatōgozaimashita

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it :) Yes, we had help with the filming this time - the Planetyze photographer took some shots for us.

[@tho207]

I know you from your webcomic on line webtoon! I've just bumped into your channel you both are more handsome than I expected. Also like that Ryosuke's personality's more open than the average japanese :) have a nice day!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Hahaha, thanks! Have a nice day too!!!

[@jayisoldem56]

Thank you both for the great video with great interest in your travels. God bless you both 😇

[@lawlietxratio]

That background music was soooooo relaxing!!!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Yay! Glad you think so :)

[@NathalieTravelMuse]

love watching you guys, you're so natural and fun and oddly calming for me :)

[@ManjaMog]

So beautiful, I hope you two have a lovely rest of your vacation!

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thank you! It was such a great trip!

[@ManjaMog]

やった! thats great to hear =D

[@Squidiful23]

Grace-"I feel like most of our videos are just of us eating stuff." Ryosuke- *Look of utter offense* "Excuse me!?" XD You two are adorable!

[@tjsvoboda1135]

You look like your having so much fun there. Love your videos , keep it up. I have learned alot.

[@AlanZ377]

I've been just watching you guys stuff for the past 3 days to the point I have no time to catch up with other videos, haha. Good job guys

[@tiawente2740]

Long time watcher, first time leaving a comment. Absolutely beautiful video!

[@I-be-chillin-bruh]

I love watching your videos! This looks like a really relaxing & fun trip. Thank you for sharing! I look forward to more videos and I hope to someday travel to awesome places like this in the future! 😊 ❤️

[@sel4790]

Time for a Texan In Tokyo binge watch marathon :) I love you guys ❤️

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

As if I weren't hungry before, now I'm all but salivating, lol! I so would like to try a fish on a stick like that, but whatever it was that Grace was eating at that scene also looked amazing.
