NOTIFICATION SQUAD: We've got a busy few weeks ahead this holiday season! And it starts today! I've been looking for an excuse to visit my favourite traditional inn in north Japan. So when the charismatic owner offered me a job, I jumped at the chance. Thanks to the amazing team and all the staff who had to put up with me for the day! 🍡 Use Code “ABROAD” to get $5 off your first #Sakuraco box team.sakura.co/abroadinjapan-SC2411 or # TokyoTreat box: team.tokyotreat.com/abroadinjapan-TT2411. The perfect holiday treat!

Truly an amazing Ryokan with superb service and amazing food. The restaurant also has a very nice wine and sake selection to pair with the food. Upon learning that I was french the sommelier got quite excited and my neighbours at the counter for dinner even invited me to a glass of their wine. We chatted the night away in a mix of Japanese and English in what was a highlight of my trip. I hope to go back soon!

Chris your channel is why I went to Japan. I've traveled extensively in Europe, but never really had any interest in Japan until I came across your channel a few years ago. After watching most videos twice over, I went with a group of friends last year for 3 weeks and absolutely fell in love with the country. Most places I have a "give or take" attitude towards - I've seen it once and am indifferent to returning. Japan is the one place I IMMEDIATELY started planning a return trip. Watching your guides to the cities inspired me to take my elderly dad to Nagasaki and Fukuoka, where we had some of the best moments of our lives together. I tried taking him to your bar in Tokyo on our last day, but unfortunately it was closed due to a covid outbreak. We both plan to go back next year and try again, this time exploring Hokkaido! Thank you for all you do.

I work for a Japanese company and while it's in the states, we have 100's of Japanese employees/managers that come work with us and they ALL put us to shame. They are incredibly hard working people and very, very exacting. While unfailingly polite they will force you to work at their pace lol. They come from Japan for up to 5 years at a time only flying home maybe twice a year to see their families until their tour is up. There are very few Americans that would ever do that. 16 hour days with no days off is not out of the question either. I was good friends with one of the translators who was American but spoke excellent Japanese and he had not had a day off in a year because they insisted he was always with them.

Last time I was on holiday at all was in Japan in 2019. Then, there was the pandemic and afterwards I have been working too much. I think, I am going to treat myself and stay at this ryoukan next summer. I hate if a place makes everything look nice for guests and the staff hate the guests, because they are treated poorly - I do not think I have to worry about this here. The staff seem to be working hard, but enjoying what they do! It looks so inviting.

I started watching this year, but I got to be honest, due to the horrible things done by some "content" creator such as Logan Paul or Johnny Somali, I was kinda skeptical of how another youtuber would be interesting. I'm glad I was proven wrong! Yours is the best content on Japan I have ever seen! I'm going to Japan next year in an exchange program, and I'm very glad that your channel exists! Thank you so much, Chris

Whether its culture, friendship, destinations, scenery, and more, every video you tell a story that is worth telling. Each time you upload it is somehow a new experience and I look forward to every single video, it is so evident the time and care you put into your craft. This was a lovely behind-the-scenes look with great personalities and lots of fun. Thanks for what you do, much love :)

I love seeing this hotel and the owner. Its such a nice story of perseverance, and the owner seems genuinely lovely. I can't imagine the mentality of moving away from country areas to go to the city though. Living out in a small town with none of the noise or overcrowding of city life is my dream.
