Thank goodness Japan is preserving the history & culture instead of tearing it down. Lovely video.

[@LayersOfJenn]

I love that about these places !!

[@01101001lmnop]

I'm glad you enjoy my hometown.

[@EnigmaDave]

The way they setup these tours is so well done. To go from a major hub like the Narita airport to such interesting cultural heritage sites may help even out the over-tourism problem areas once things return to normal. It's so nice to see that huge smile on your face, Jenn. It's clear you both had a fun time.

[@LayersOfJenn]

I learned a lot on that trip about japan but also about myself rewatching the footage 😂👏🏻

[@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan]

こんにちは！New in here and I had to watch this because I live in Chiba!(more Tokyo side though). Glad you enjoyed!

[@LayersOfJenn]

I would go back in a heartbeat ♥️

[@ayami7719]

Thanks for sharing a great place to visit. I love the old Japanese atmosphere (Edo) there!!

[@LayersOfJenn]

I want to go back when corona is under control !

[@francoisdelport4598]

Just loved it, you both looked so awesome in those samurai outfits💗🌸

[@LayersOfJenn]

We felt so cool in them and the shop staff were soooooo kind !

[@Zelkaina]

I did a lot of kendo when I was younger and this really brings me back 😭❤

[@LayersOfJenn]

Oh really!? How cool!! My hubby did kendo growing up & told me how terrible my form was when watching the footage 😂😂😂

[@evalopez189]

Amazing 👌😍❤️ ... Thanks Jen for taking us to another world!!!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Thank you for watching 😭♥️

[@YasmeenMO]

Yay, I love seeing more of the Japan Countryside and the culture and food.

[@LayersOfJenn]

Same !!

[@YasmeenMO]

@@LayersOfJenn ikr and I love your video. The countryside always looks so peaceful

[@ep88888]

The turtles at that temple were the background of my phone for a solid year. I feel so validated. I loooove walking that temple when I have a long enough time in Narita.

[@LayersOfJenn]

LOL they are just sooooo cute!!!

[@ThanhMaiOFFICIAL]

Great to see this video on a Sunday morning. So much chill travel vibes here. That sandwich looks so good right about now lol Definitely need to head to back to Japan in the future 🙌💯🥪🇯🇵

[@LayersOfJenn]

If you’re flying into Narita (then you’re already in Chiba) .. these places are easily available to you!

[@TheFrigidsnow]

First, that vlog picture is beautiful!! Secondly, I want to go to Chiba now. So jealous. Glad you had that experience!!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Yayyyyyy thank you!!!

[@rarefactioncurve]

I really enjoyed your Chiba trip uploads! The only part of Chiba I ever visited was the Narita airport. Next time I go home to Japan (I am a Japanese expat living in Toronto, ON, Canada), I will visit the cities you visited on this journey. By the way, you as a samurai looked very sharp!!!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Awe thank you!! Funny how we are expats living in each others countries 😂👌🏻

[@branchingout3866]

This was so cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@LayersOfJenn]

Thanks for watching ♥️

[@kennethnishiyori]

A fabulous video! You guys looked "stunning" in the samurai dress. I'm so envious.... You did something I will most likely never get a chance to do. Walk in the path of the samurai!! My destiny is just taking me other places. Thank you for doing this. Your videos always "fuel" my soul. :-)

[@LayersOfJenn]

Thank you 😭♥️

[@Iheardecay]

Such a well edited video, once again! Thank you for showing us a bit of japan's culture (: chiba looks amazing! Hopefully I will visit one day

[@LayersOfJenn]

I’m glad you liked it!! I rarely use voiceover but, everything was fast paced & lots of talking in the background so, I had no choice 😂

[@breanarich2901]

I seriously love this video so much!! Your excitement and passion for the Japanese culture is absolutely contagious. I have always dreamed of going to Japan which is why I started following your videos years ago. I hope to come here one day and to be able to share that passion with the people there and have them show me their culture. I truly can’t wait till the world is healthy again so I can see its beauty

[@LayersOfJenn]

I also cannot wait 👏🏻🖤 I love learning cultures from people who are so proud of it!

[@stephaniegalovic113]

I get so excited when you upload a new video!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Thank you ♥️👏🏻😭

[@yvonnenippsonribbs1811]

Jenn , you are living the life 👍

[@LayersOfJenn]

👏🏻♥️

[@hillarymaxson4451]

Omg! My boyfriend lives in Sawara and I stay with him there for around 5 months out of the year. It is a very small town, so it is difficult to live there, but I love the Little Edo area. We are big fans of Narita, we hang out there quite often. There is a park near Narita Airport where you can watch the airplanes. :) I think the two of you made amazing samurai! What a fun video, it definitely made me appreciate Chiba more. :)

[@LayersOfJenn]

Ohhhh that park sounds awesome!!! And little town life can be hard! I also lived in a tiny town in japan my first year but I didn’t understand Japanese then so it was hard.

[@Elizardrae]

What a great video. I hope to visit this area sometime in my life. It’s a beautiful place. 🖤

[@LayersOfJenn]

I cannot recommend these places enough!

[@Japomania]

Aah

[@LayersOfJenn]

Weren’t they nice!?

[@halukak9075]

I have to go visit chiba after watching this video! Your videos makes me want to explore Japan more 😁

[@LayersOfJenn]

Chiba was awesome !

[@emilyg336]

Awesome video Jenn!!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Thank you 😭♥️

[@maplesushi]

Ok I’ve never been to Chiba, but WOW definitely on my list now!! I love this and it’s so cool being able to go back to the past almost without all the crowds or people! ❤️ your Japanese is cute to hear, too 😍😍😍

[@LayersOfJenn]

I would gladly go there with you bb !!

[@Appropriate_dinner]

This make me wanna visit Japan again! Hopefully the situation will cool down asap 😭

[@LayersOfJenn]

I hope so too ♥️

[@Yu-ge5vu]

I am from Chiba Prefecture, but I didn't know that it has these beautiful places!!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Yay I’m glad to have shared something with you that you didn’t know about yet :)

[@wileydaalv478]

🤗🤗🤗I love seeing the culture of Japan is so amazing. Love this video and samurai looks good on you ☺️. Thanks for that experience.

[@LayersOfJenn]

I put my hair back in the hopes of looking more badass 😂👏🏻

[@robbie025]

Nice video. Might stop by Chiba on our next trip to Japan!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Def add it to your list 👏🏻

[@lizawithaz9524]

Ooooh I'd love to dress in Samurai uniform & woeld a sword. How cool :) You looked great! Japanese Inaka is stunning too! Aaaah I miss it. Thanks for sharing!!

[@LayersOfJenn]

I wanna go backkkkk!!

[@Janderaletr]

Wow looks amazing! 😮

[@LayersOfJenn]

We had such a blast there!

[@Kirsten._._]

So awesome to see this! Another great one Jenn❤️

[@Kirsten._._]

I forgot to ask if you have a P.O. Box set up - or should I shoot you a message on Instagram?

[@LayersOfJenn]

Ohhhh I don’t have a PO Box bc it’s too expensive in japan 😭🙃 thank you tho ♥️

[@Kirsten._._]

Ok, I didn’t want to seem creepy, but I was going to knit something for your baby... when you have one, that’s why I asked ❤️

[@itsnighohme]

Loved this! I have added some areas to my list :)

[@LayersOfJenn]

I can’t recommend these places enough!!!! So beautiful ~

[@LayersOfJenn]

Thank you ♥️😭👏🏻

[@halfhoneydo8877]

The traditional buildings are so amazing and I love them. 😘 The temple was definitely ten times more beautiful than Sensoji down in Asakusa because of the lack of people! 😬💦 Little Edo is definitely now on my list of places I want to go now 🥰

[@LayersOfJenn]

I’m sure you would love it there!

[@worldoftravels2020]

Great video great experience. I'd like to see more videos from you. Even if you make a everyday routine video I'd like to see cause it inspires us to be able to know how others live a everyday life in a foreign country.

[@LayersOfJenn]

I made a cooking video before but right now my daily routine is out of whack due to social distancing. Maybe in the future!

[@johnmarston5218]

Did they actually let you guys carry the real katanas? That must have been a cool experience but looked kinda scary too. As always, thank you for sharing! 👍

[@LayersOfJenn]

In the end of the video we held the real blades in the home. That is what we held. As for the ones on our hilt, I’m not sure if they were real or not. I think they were 🤔 but I’m not sure

[@Mwoods2272]

Jenn, I thought Unagi was a concept of total awareness. LOL

[@LayersOfJenn]

Lol 😝 sureeeeeeee

[@SYama-xl4ko]

Cool that you went to Sakura City. I wonder how far it is from my relatives. I should nag them to take me there if I ever go back lol. Anyhow, thanks for sharing, take care.

[@LayersOfJenn]

Yeah!! Very rural but the people there were so kind !

Is has to do with alpha and omega stuff. Kinda of complicated but I learned about it that day!

Also can you introduce some traditional Canadian style cooking?
