The Traveling Princess looks so cute!!!

[@danielleporter1829]

The traveling Princess is such a good co travel advisor, she picks the right moment to interject. And she's a good sharer, loved how she offer daddy some of her popsicle. Those cheery blossoms were beautiful and Mt. Fuji 🗻 is certainly a sight to behold. The seafood bow looked yummy.

[@YellowProductions]

Aww. Thanks Danielle!

[@terryleephotographer]

The Princess is so adorable! Definitely ups the cuteness factor of your videos! ❤😬 I love your wholesome style of videos.

[@YellowProductions]

Thank you so much!!

Hi Chris. Glad you guys got to make it up Mt Omuro. The views from there were wonderful.Another great destination off the beaten path.Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@YellowProductions]

We really enjoyed it! Thanks James!

[@scottman895]

It's very interesting how there are two hotels with very similar names very close to each other. The Ito area looks really neat. I love those views from the top of Mount Omuro!

[@YellowProductions]

Yeah. My first time checking in to the wrong hotel 😀

[@Teetop-cx3oe]

Very amazing place with some really nice people! Cycled around that area and even tho its super hilly it was worth going through those beautiful hills!

[@YellowProductions]

It really is!

[@alexwallace6120]

Looks interesting and fun. The hot springs also look fin with those fruit popsicles.

[@autumbreeze1129]

Chris: we won't say goodbye Travelling Princess: bye-bye Me: 😆😁

[@Travelmumoftwo]

Loved your trip Summary with little one. How convenient was driving in izu area with no knowledge of Japanese?

[@YellowProductions]

Driving was just fine.. Google Maps works well.. and the major signs have English

[@sho8567]

Your daughter is so precious.

[@YellowProductions]

Awww

[@patsim1615]

Going this Autumn October to just Tokyo for a 2 weeks long holiday ... Thanks for sharing your informative trip

[@YellowProductions]

Awesome. We have a Tokyo vlog coming up! Stay tuned!

[@NostalgiaMan]

One day I will make travel videos and hopefully will be 1/2 as good as these.

[@YellowProductions]

Awww

[@toxicspiderman3815]

Stayed in Ito about a month ago hope to go again. Very beautiful city

[@YellowProductions]

It really is!

[@sweeney0558]

GREAT VIDEO

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks!

[@ginasoh9574]

Can you advise if it’s safe for me, first time driving in Japan (female driver!) to drive along East coast of Izu? Plan to visit (hotel is in Ito) to visit Mt Omuro, Kawazu falls, Ryugu caves, Irozaki cape over 2 days in May 2024. I was told it’s safer to drive along the coast, not across the peninsula where it’s more mountainous & windy. Appreciate your help

[@YellowProductions]

Hi Gina. Yeah. The roads around the coast are pretty easy and tame

[@drewconway7135]

Hi YP. I just got a notification from MGM that their Vegas hotels are switching from Hyatt to Marriott. I carry the Bonvoy Brilliant card, so this is exciting news for me. Any chances of getting a video in the coming weeks on how status matching will work? The email I got says it starts in October. I scrolled through the FAQ but didn’t see anything about status matching or rewards benefits for existing Bonvoy members. I’ve never used status-matching before, but I trust your content so if you could educate us once details are released I’d be so grateful. TIA! 😊

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Drew. When I hear more about it I'll let you know 😀

[@patsouthwood1397]

You did know that the booze driving allowance in Japan is zero, I hope?

[@joeraia5975]

C you should check out. K house Ito Ryoken . It is a bit below your buget but amazing..

[@knownonsense2015]

I’m a newbie family traveler and I always wonder, how do you deal with baby/toddler car seats in taxis when traveling internationally? Or is it something you don’t have to worry about.

[@YellowProductions]

In "most" places around the world you don't need a car seat in a taxi. There are some cities that are an exception to that. Los Angeles in particular requires car seats in taxis. So we rent a car in that case

[@sergios.8690]

Have you already read shogun, book James Clavell, Chris sam?

[@YellowProductions]

Hi Sergio. Can't say I have. I'm really not much of a reader

[@mr.shamrock9217]

If you haven't visited Hoshino Report Aomori-ya yet, I do recommend you visit as well♨️🍎🍏

[@YellowProductions]

I'll have to add that to my list!

[@mr.shamrock9217]

​@@YellowProductions Now I noticed I made a mistake😅 Hoshino Resort Aomoriya♨️ not " Report" I'm ashamed😂 Anyway, I'd like you to visit this hotel sometime🍏🍎

[@noble_JAKOB]

she is so cute

[@etherdog]

Chris, did you have a designated driver? It is a big offense to have any alcohol on your breath or in your system when you are behind the wheel.

[@YellowProductions]

I'm a pretty big dude... less than one beer and waiting an hour drops my BAC significantly below Japan's legal limit.

[@yolandasong1617]

When was this video taken? I went there in June and almost no one bothered with masks.

[@YellowProductions]

This was in April 2023

[@edvaira6891]

Curious….Did the prevalence of Sashimi bowls actually get your wife to swear off Sashimi? (Also curious about why OC Girl never makes a cameo appearance…your choice? Hers? Or mutual decision?)

[@YellowProductions]

Hah. No. She still likes Sashimi bowls :). And it's her decision. She likes to be behind rather than in front of the video camera. Photos are another story so you can see all the photos see takes with her on it on her Facebook page ocgirl.notebook

[@Bakapooru]

The off-limits third bed is strange. This is the first time I’ve seen that. It’s a ryokan (priced per person) but I think they should’ve removed the bed. Make it worth the effort for 5000 yen charge. Regarding Mt. Omuro, the tour bus contradicts my next question, but was this on a Friday? The lift is closed on Friday. I made the mistake of not checking the hours of a tourist attraction…

[@merrynpreston9446]

Japan driving has zero alcohol policy

[@YellowProductions]

It's not "zero" alcohol.. The criteria for driving under the influence of alcohol are 0.3mg in 1ml of blood or 0.15ml in 1L of breath.. I actually didn't drink much of my beer. And we waited plenty of time before getting back on the road. That's the thing about vlogging. We spend way more time hanging around shooting video that the average person

[@angelicasoup638]

4:45:look yummy

[@yolandasong1617]

It's "loo" not "roo" - Bee-Loo

[@Its-Kat_]

You can't have a drink in Japan and drive after. Legal limit is 0% alcohol in your system.

[@YellowProductions]

It's actually 0.03 😀
