Journey to the Noto Peninsula in Japan

[@satricon]

Great content! a shame not more people know about it! Its awesome to get to see Japan like this!

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you 😁 I really just want to share the experience and I hope people can enjoy it. Thank you for giving me more motivation to get out and create more content 🤩

[@tys3292]

Thanks for the video! Fulfilling the travel void during covid

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you! Doing my best for the armchair tourists :)

[@starjen]

Loved all the views Thank you so much for showing all these beautiful landscapes! The rice field by the sea was my favorite! The udon at the end looked fantastic! This is now a roadtrip, I would love to do one day!

[@NomadicGaijin]

This is still one of my favorite videos, especially cause this is one of my favorite places in Japan and I loved all the amazing stuff we found during this adventure. Nothing was planned out so it was really new and exciting for us

[@LoveTheElectro]

Love your videos. I get to tour a place I have always dreamt of going to but probably will never be able to afford, through the eyes of a really wholesome dude. Thanks for making these videos!

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thanks for the awesome comment, much appreciated 😊 I love to explore these places and share them with everyone, and it really makes me happy knowing someone enjoys them 👍

[@NoobTube4148]

Subbed. Came from your Reddit stream!!!

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the videos!

[@linnyunt]

Awesome roadtrip, man! I'd love to try it some time.

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thanks! It’s one of my favorite places by far, I can’t wait to explore it again 😁

[@NomadicGaijin]

Haha right? I wasn't gonna add that but for some reason I felt I should

[@JasterKagemand]

Saw your Reddit stream and somehow found my way here. Gotta say I really like your editing and content in general. Keep it up

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you for joining the stream and checking out my channel! I’m still learning how to work with gear and editing etc but I try my best, comments like this always help 😊

[@andrewwheatley9128]

Really enjoyed the video, subbed. Super jealous of a lot of your experiences here, the crab by the beach looked amazing. I saw your reddit broadcast and hopped over here, the level of effort you put into these vids is incredible, all the drone footage and editing makes them a real treat to watch, honestly. If I'd offer a bit of feedback, I'd say to cut the videos into small, bite-sized chunks. Even one like this you could split into 3 to get more views, as well as keeping it fresh for people who don't have time to watch the entire thing end to end. Maybe you could look at some big japan youtubers as see what kind of video size they're pumping out for a lot of hits, then copy that? Also you say let's check it out too much :p

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you for watching, and the feedback! It’s always a debate for me on how to divide the video or how long they should be so it helps to hear some honest opinions. I’ll keep that in mind going forward with the next few vids I have planned. It’s true, I’m a “let’s check it out”-aholic, no idea why I just tend to say it a lot 😅 Thanks again for watching and the feedback, have a good one! P.S. I think I say “let’s check it out” in my next 3 vids...too late for those ones 😅

[@feelkorea1]

Nice video. Thank you friend. 💕👍

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it, have a good one!

[@antonettekawabata277]

Been there Last year ishikawa prefecture missing that place.

[@NomadicGaijin]

So much of it is in ruins right now it’s so sad 😞 hope they can rebuild the area

[@antonettekawabata277]

@@NomadicGaijin Yess I’m so sad too many people die in big earthquake in noto hanto so sad 😭

[@fhwtr8884]

Cool video! I like that.

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thanks! It was a really great trip 😁

[@akapantsusenpai181]

That place looks beautiful. I wonder how hard it'd be to get there by train from Tokyo. Great video!

[@NomadicGaijin]

akapen sensei Shinkansen and local trains can get you to some areas of Noto, but it’s really best to have a car. I think that’s why this place is not so crowded compared to other areas of Japan.

[@akapantsusenpai181]

@@NomadicGaijin I don't feel comfortable driving in Japan, but maybe I can get an Uber or something.

[@NomadicGaijin]

akapen sensei since every little town has so many sights that could work. But really, driving in Noto and the Hokuriku area in general is really easy. Wide roads, no crowds, it’s like driving in America. It’s Tokyo driving that’s no fun at all 😅 and for potential visitors, an international license is easy to get and lasts 1 year.

[@corgansow7176]

You can take a train to Kanazawa but to get to Noto you need to rent a car from there.

[@kahono2629]

Thank you for showing me so much great stuff in noto peninsula. This is my dream place to move to and live I think it is so beautiful, do you have any recommendations on where is the best place to live in noto and what is that beach area called it is really cool. Thank you great video

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed! There were a few beach areas so let me know which part of the video it was and I can tell you the name of the area. In Noto I really liked Wajima city, it was a pretty clean and nice modern town with lots of great restaurants and close access to so many beautiful sights. The only thing to be careful of is the amount of snow that Noto gets in winter 😅

[@kahono2629]

@@NomadicGaijin it was the beach in the beginning of the video and wajima is where I really want to live it is so beautiful there and I love snow! In wajima do you think the people there are nice and welcoming to tourists? Thank you for replying back to me too appreciate it a lot

[@NomadicGaijin]

The first beach we visited in the video was in Niigata (with the shrine island) 能生海水浴場 - Nou Beach Resort goo.gl/maps/mBLfJnrudZVZbfrJ7 The first beach we visited in Noto with the beach drive: Chirihama Beach goo.gl/maps/G6FYMu3GaDZVZ5nj6 Hope that helps, and feel free to ask questions anytime 👍

How do u ttavel with a dog when places in jpn dont allow dogs in hotel etc.

[@NomadicGaijin]

That’s the thing we do, we sleep in the car 😁

[@haruhaesu597]

Goosh i wish i could visit Noto.So beautiful,i like its nature🌱 thanks to jdrama "mare" from which i learnt about this place

[@NomadicGaijin]

Yeah it's one of my favorite spots, didn't know it was in a jdrama I'll have to check it out!

[@dayla8634]

Still can't believe you went to Neko(8) Ban!

[@NomadicGaijin]

Dayla those shrimp gyoza...I wouldn’t mind having those again, so nice. Wonder if that’s a special item or regular.

[@dayla8634]

@@NomadicGaijin Not sure I haven't had 8 ban in years.

[@NomadicGaijin]

Dayla At least you can go anytime, champion too must be nice 🤤

[@dayla8634]

@@NomadicGaijin Not much of a ramen person these days, but 8 ban was one of the last places me and Brett would go to. Local shops are always the best for ramen and I'm sure you guys have your share. Yeah there's only one Champion here and effed me. Haven't been to coco's in years as well. Only other curry I'll go out of my way to try is other Kanazawa curry or curry udon. Except for Go-go's they're all good, but Champion is the best.

[@NomadicGaijin]

True I never go to chains in my area always local
