[@josephlaumei]

hi Rion, how come you so afraid of height

[@BenjaminJacobus]

Respect for rion trying to get on that bridge👊🏾

[@flourishwithzel]

Kudos to Rion for passing by that bridge even though he's scared of heights! Haha!

[@RionIshida]

Arigatooo liz, Ganabrimaaaaaasu🤣😆👍

[@scatamalaka]

You seem like a genuinely great person, Rion! Thank you for sharing, your small journey means a lot to many of us! I've wanted to travel to Japan for a long time, so even a small taste like this is great.

[@rinoaheartily3228]

Also please don't feel pressured to do something you're uncomfortable of, I've always appreciated your honest content. 💜

[@vhyleung]

There's something about the country side that warms my heart too. Especially my good memories in Kyoto and Hakone a few years ago. Hope you stay safe with the state of emergency again in Osaka.... 🙏 Cheers Rion! 😁

[@julietai7465]

Thank you for bringing us to this beautiful place. Extra thanks for braving the bridge to show us the breath taking view. 👏🙏Lunch was a bit pricey for konjac. But as long as it is delicious, it's worth it. 👍🦁

[@RionIshida]

My big pleasure Julie! Haha, true, it’s a bit pricy for Konjac but definitely worth to try it at least once😁

[@rebeccachia]

Can't believe you rode 2 hours there and back in one day, and the onsen was closed 🥺 thank you for showing us the beautiful sceneries, and great job for trying to overcome your heights! One day you'll conquer them 💪🏻

[@Glasseyyy]

Duuude the camera angle while you were eating Konjac was PERFECT

[@grasdaggl4406]

Great video, Rion! 😊👍 Such a beautiful landscape. Gaooooo 🦁🤗

[@pyon4195]

Japanese countryside is so beautiful, it is clean and peaceful, it just like what we've seen in studio Ghibli movie, I love it!

[@manreyscorner1296]

Rion is brave enough to ask the couple which not everyone can do (especially me haha).✌️😁 I enjoyed watching this video thanks Rion. Keep up the good work! more country side vids.👍😁

[@RionIshida]

Arigatooo man rey! Ganbarimasu! Gaoooo😆😁

[@stoha2]

リオンさん、怖いですね！Oh, you're afraid of heights? Good try getting on the bridge even for a bit. The trick is to not look down, look straight, try to ignore the swaying of the bridge. Thank you for another fun video! Thanks to the kind couple for helping film that bit so that we can enjoy it too!

[@_nihongo_jouzu_]

Nice views and nice people. I wish I could do a road trip in Japan country side via bike, like you. Its not safe to do something like that here in the US. And Thanks for giving us the view while you were having lunch, you could have sat on the side of the table so you could have the view too XD

[@ashyaaziz]

I'm curious on how you setup your camera for motovlog. Show us how one day if you don't mind 😄

[@donpetrossi]

Amazing video Mr Rion! Please show us more of countryside! I'm scared of bridges too!

[@アレキサンダーアルケンス]

Oh man... This time, no 鬼鹿. You can make 6 way menu. Wakayama Pref. I'll keep that on mind. Verry Fine Pleace. 👍👍

[@cheesymice]

You did so well on the bridge, Rion! Don’t push yourself, just do what you are comfortable with. 👍

[@Cristina-72188.kanade]

I super loved this vlog today Rion. Motorbike view makes me happy and Wakayama is like my province here a lot of mountains and rivers. I just wonder what is the taste of Konjac? I never tried it before..😶 Anyway the view of the Zao Bashi was breathtaking! 😍You are brave enough conquering your fear. 👏The young couple who help you was really kind and sweet. They take the shot very steady too. Overall the quality of this video is so awesome. I can't explain. I was singing Totoro theme while watching this🙈🤣 You did a great job Rion. Thank you for taking us on another adventure. Stay safe and God bless you always. Ｇａｏｏｏｏ！！！！

[@RionIshida]

Konjac taste is really hard to explain, basically very light taste (like tofu), but it’s so popular food in Japan, maybe you can try one in Oden, or Sukiyaki😉 Sweet Arigatooo Christina, Ganbarimasu Gaoooo🤣👍

[@Coconutlover1000]

😲Rion I am really wait this kind of your vlog. Thanks to share! Gaooooo. P.S. You have already braved to across that bridge.

[@lauravirgin8796]

Rion, this is my favorite meal you have eaten! It looked AMAZING! (I'm a vegetarian) Also, I don't blame you for not wanting to be on that bridge. This was a nice change of pace, you being in the countryside. It looked beautiful! Enjoyed this one a lot.

[@jlv1545]

Kudos Rion for going above and beyond viewer's expectation, long drive, fear of heights and all. It is a very beautiful content as always. Thank you for vicariously taking us to Japan's countryside this time.

[@marifebello2684]

The view in Japan's countryside is so pretty...a breath of fresh air! I'm gonna include that in my bucket lists when I can be able to go back to Japan again!..after the pandemic perhaps! Anyways, you look cute and funny trying to cross the bridge haha..

[@Jordan-inJapan]

Agreed! I live just a little east of where Rion was, and the area is really beautiful. (No interest in moving to the city! Especially not now...)

[@angelpinay577]

Omg thanks for showing that place, been there and cross the bridge 2 years ago and yappari its really scary 😟 So much fun and memories in Japan 🇯🇵 Next time please go to Takamatsu 🙏😍

[@AlkSeagull]

First video of yours. Wow. Such a relaxing style! Lovin' it!

[@aaff186]

Imagine riding a bike for 3 hours to go to the onsen but it was closed. I feel you Rion

[@JS-mf1ki]

Thanks for this! Konjac is definitely one of my favorite Japanese foods, but I never knew about the variety!

[@traffichazard]

Not scared of the bridge, but I'd be nervous about asking strangers to help lol Big thanks to your friendly helpers for getting us some good footage :)

[@celestinefernandez1646]

oh my god. i love your wakayama video... 😍 good luck on your next video. i love your camera.. its very clear now.

[@acecruz9076]

Hello Rion good day, please visit also the place in Fukuyama. Thanks.

[@piusngu9355]

Rion San, thank you so much. Food must be nice. The scenery is very nice. By the way, I am scared of height also.

[@joeturner1920]

This was one of your best videos! Keep up the great work.

Bro, you are an inspiration for us all. You don't try to hide your imperfections, I really appreciate that on a person. I'll go there for sure, also I see that you post your Amazon link for USA, if you want you can make a japanese amazon account as well. I will buy from amazon using your link to help you :)

[@lyssab6466]

I'm so afraid of heights and bridges too. I felt your pain Rion! Thank you for trying. Gaooo!😄🙏

[@RionIshida]

My big pleasure, and Arigatooo Lyssa 😆 t was really beautiful place, but really scary too though🤣

[@rusticbaguette]

This made me laugh! I loved the moment that the couple offered to hold your hand. Golden! Thank you for sharing the beautiful countryside. Would love to see more.

[@manicdolliesyndrome]

But you tried to conquer your fear and that was great! So proud of you Rion! Such a beautiful place.

[@stelis1006]

This is the most wholesome and lovely content 💜

[@kalvinhariz5724]

I really love this video of you daring yourself. It was so priceless to see your reaction! Please do more of this adventure!. Love it.

[@davidazran1159]

Unfortunately we can't visit Japan yet, so thank you very much for bringing Japan to us !!! It's almost feels like I'm there 😅

[@AmbientWalking]

Beautiful. Love this very much! ❤️ Thanks a lot!

[@cheronroggen9638]

This video was really great. The countryside is so stunning. Love that you were brave enough to go a little bit into the bridge..being brave is good!

[@mayora7734]

Woooow! Look at the mountains and the green trees.. I love it. I love the nature. Japan always makes my jaw drop of the beautiful scenaries. 🇯🇵😍❤️

[@diedraunderwood1114]

Rion you were awesome for going on the bridge being afraid of heights! You were super brave!

[@brynels.9189]

I think it's a good idea Rion. Then you can tour us in the countryside. Can't wait. :)

[@maximilianphilippi3589]

Awesome to see some of the Japanese countryside you normaly do not get to see from other content creators. Looking forward to seeing more of it in the future. I really appreciate the effort you doing to get us that unique content, lovin it.

[@VegardThefilmmaker]

So nice of those people to help you film on the bridge. I completely understand the bridge was a bit scary

[@Maria-dm7qo]

[@Otaku198]

The lush green mountains on your background while eating is amazing. Hope you can revisit places from your old videos. You are now getting popular and I think you can reach more people with that!

[@bebekho8654]

Enjoyed ur video!😍😍watching from California!

[@dania6288]

Respect your bravery to get on that bridge......I don't like heights and was feeling anxious watching you. Very nice video. 😊

[@devimarcellatrisna]

So exited will be a great and wonderful video ❤really beautiful scenery 🌳

[@RionIshida]

Arigatooo Devi, Wakayama really beautiful place😁

[@greengrass9408]

You're really dedicated driving 3 hours, Rion! Thanks for the video and showing us this hidden spot. It looks so peaceful.

[@ariesxgurl93]

I really miss the countryside of Japan! Thank you for this video, Rion! You did great walking on the bridge! 😂👌🏻 Loved the view, such picturesque area 🥺🥰

🏍An exciting motorbike ride through a tranquil ambience with delightful meals.A scary bridge that offers a sensational scenic view.👍😉Great sharing!!!💖🤗💝🌻🌼

[@rafaelkoga5762]

amazingly beautiful place! I think you should film more places like this! Wakayama is so beautiful! That sunset footage was awesome! And the obasan that brought you the food reminds me the chef from "cooking with the dog".

[@ms.lindsey5981]

The bridge looks fun!

[@fujiwaramichaelm6686]

Wonderful ride. Lv it! btw, pls wear gloves. Tabun, install handguards on your handlebars. Thanks.

[@アレキサンダーアルケンス]

The Bridge has a beautiful High. You should make the Next Jump-Dive Contest of Red Bull there. 👍👍 Other Question, Do you make Underwater Video too?

[@nicolewilson4058]

Hi Rion! It was a long ride but definitely worth it! The mountainous area of the countryside is beautiful. I'm like you I don't like to drive narrow area at night either. Great video!

[@mojojowan]

When I watched your first Wakayama video (the Mount Koya video), I am already convinced to visit the place but after seeing this, geeeez~ I am moooooore excited to visit Wakayama! I can imagine now those trees in an Autumn colors. I’m loving it! 😍 Also, the food looks delicious! Hearing the crunch makes me hungry 😆 About your “bridge challenge”, don’t worry Rion... I can totally relate to your situation there. The level of that bridge for the person who has a fear of heights has reached the maximum level 😆 Definitely I will also do the “pep talk” session where I will tell to myself that I can do it but..... no! 😂 That’s why I am so amazed when I saw your IG photo where you’re sitting in the middle of the bridge because I know you have a fear of heights (.... or are you really sitting in the middle of the bridge? 😂 hehe peace Rion! ✌️ ) Anyway, as always thank you so much for showing and for introducing us the other side of Japan. This kind of video really help us (the tourists) to get to know more about the beauty of Japan. I cannot wait to see all of these in person. Take care always and stay safe! Gao! 🦁 😊

[@RionIshida]

Yeeees, Mt. Koya is really beautiful place too, Wakayama, really nice place to visit😁 LOL, yes, it was the maximum level, but I did my best🤣 My big pleasureee Jo, Gaoooo😆🦁

[@mojojowan]

@@RionIshida Yes, you really did your best that’s why I am so amazed because you faced your fears, all alone! 😆 If that was me, definitely I’m going to cry 😂 Also, I do believe that soon you will overcome your fears... Just keep on facing it tho 😆 Thanks again Rion! 😊

[@W.i.l.l._Nguyen]

I plan to go to Wakayama because a) Omuren Car rental has the possibility of renting a Honda S2000 in Wakayama b) 那智山青岸渡寺

[@iloveicedcoffee]

You should make a series of videos with your motorcycle ride and call them Rion's Motorcycle Diaries. Take care brother. Greetings from 🇵🇭.

[@braunx1080]

hahaha. funny how you looked really scared. I'm not judging though. Every person has his own fears. Maybe someday, you will find the courage to cross that bridge. Nice video. Take care.

[@MisakiZora]

I really enjoyed this video. Watching it makes me feel like I’m actually traveling to these places. And Wakayama is indeed beautiful and the food looks interesting! 💕 Thank you for making this video! 🙏🏻 But don’t push yourself too hard though. I got a bit worried when you tried to walk over the bridge. 😱😅

[@KissFromTheWorld]

To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, to roam the roads of lands remote, to travel is to live." Nice tour and sublime local food. Happy adventures! Cheers, Domenico.

[@suriachong5745]

Thank you for making this video. Braving yourself on the hanging bridge just to show us the beautiful scenery👍stay safe!

[@hughcesar]

Loved this video. It was very funny in the bridge. An the menu awesome. Thankyou for whatch us this beautiful places. I hope to stay there in 2022.

[@hawaiiopihi]

Great video! Thank you! Only in Japan can you trust giving a stranger your camera and ask them to take videos because you are too afraid to follow them, giving them a clear escape 😝 Japan is very special!

[@garydell2023]

This was fun Rion. Beautiful area. Food looked oishi. I don't like bridges like that either but still don't have a problem flying a plane. Arigatogozaimashita.

[@kheopsz81]

I am still not sure what is konjac in Japan :) (there is a cognac with similar pronounciation its an alcohol drink). But I love your videos, they are quite funny and they so "real" - forgot to turn on camera, scared of the bridge, closed things. This is a unique and interesting channel if you are interested in Japan. Hi from UK, Europe :) Ps: One thing I dont like in your videos: you eat so nice, it makes me hungry, even after lunch :D :D :D but keep shooting!

[@lynx82901]

12:09 the bear sign, what is it? Beware of bear or something? 😮 Anyway, would you take "cross the bridge" challenge if your subscribers reach 70 thousands?

[@Kanpratic]

Really funny. Scary but Rion is getting more courageous.. ✌️😁🙏

[@jonbarta673]

What a beautiful video today Rion! Wonderful photography. Keep up the good work. We will keep watching. Thanks for making these super videos for us to experience Japan with you.

[@Distesan92]

Proud of you for almost reaching the center of the bridge!! Awesome content Rion! Thank you for sharing these experiences with us !

[@DeftonesFan1982]

What a scary bridge but what a beautiful view. Shimizu looks super beautiful, I would love to visit it. Regards

[@prettywoman-rz7us]

Beautiful scenery of the country side, hope to visit Japan after the pandemic. I’m from Hong Kong!

[@danmejia9282]

I enjoyed watching the video. I’m glad you’re trying to visit nearby places.its funny though that you did not cross the bridge.. 😂 Thank you for travelling for us 👍

[@jphan21]

That bridge was so SCARY!!!! I would have peed in my pants if I was on that. But I totally understand, you drove so far to see it, gotta try! Good effort! Probably would been more rewarding (and relaxing) if you got to eat that delicious meal after going to the bridge.

[@ianjohnston8057]

Greetings from the USA! Thanks for showing us around your beautiful country. I'd love to ride a motorbike there some day. You've got a great personality that comes through in your videos.

[@etherdog]

Rion, we could see the fear in your face on the bridge--I empathize with you. You did really well going as far as you did, and the pictures and videography were stunningly beautiful. Arigato!

[@tomithot261]

Thank you for taking us to Wakayama, sharing the yam lunch, and filming the scenery. Smart to hand your camera off for the bridge walk. Fear of heights is real, and it won't get better by just pushing yourself ... take care of Rion first. Like your camera work and eventually will get on Instagram, want to see you photos. Appreciate your taking us along,..

[@limikocarriedo2289]

Wow I love how it all looks! The place looks too beautiful. I'd also be very afraid and fun to cross that bridge. Greetings Ryon, I hope you keep finding great places.

[@michael1unknown]

Dear Rion, nicely done. We really love your authentic videos and your positive attitude !! :-) Kind regards from Germany

[@saratanartist]

Wow, the Japanese countryside is so beautiful! I'm vegetarian and I also want to cross that bridge, haha! I definitely want to visit here!

[@AppleAndCoLifeinJapan]

Nice video Rion-san ~ we're now thinking of checking the places you went to during the holidays. Thanks for the travel idea! P.S I appreciate you featuring a lot of places in Nishinari area, I think it does help in promoting a better image of the place.

[@akafuntoosh7761]

Japan is 2/3 covered by mountains 🏔️

[@harrisonjr.8892]

73% is mountain , i believe that the highest rate among the developed world , that why the average house for average income family is around 100m2 up to 130m2 (still way bigger than my 60m2 condo , but i guess 100m2 plus is bigger than some country in europe , i one in london and house over there is really small maybe 80m2) , i think that also the reason the fruit price can be high since it lack of farmming land , but for my type i prefer mountainess country like Japan , Switzerland or europe nordic , it has beautiful scenery , i'm an exchange student in texas , the view here isn't my fave , too flat but it has rich soil

[@kopisusu2000]

I like this video. Thanks for the great shooting, so we all can enjoy that beautiful countryside. About that bashi, I am glad you did not force yourself to get to the middle of it. Since you looked very terrified, and you were not with a friend, that could be dangerous. So, in case you need to shoot this kind of place again next time, you should either invest on a drone, or get a brave girlfriend. (The 2nd option may be better, since I think you can't fly a drone in Japan. CMIIW.)

[@GraphicsAwesome]

Loved the brigde part! So fun and so beautiful! Thanks for the video!!

[@tns-rox]

I've watched this video many times, and I enjoy it more each time. Great work, Rion! Let's keep walking.👍

[@christina0715]

Bravo Rion! You did a great job! Thanks for showing us such a beautiful view at the bridge. Gaoooo!

[@osaka_ent]

I'm loving it:) have a wonderful day always be safe too! Gaoo!

[@fidelio595]

Thank you for the video Rion! I love the nature of Wakayama Prefecture too! Enjoyed hiking at the Kumano shrines, and the slow but scenic train ride along the coastline. I also enjoyed the touristy but fun train ride along Kishigawa to see the cat station master 🐱, not far away from Arita River!

[@beniemejia8659]

Arigato from Manila . Love your country, hope to go there when pandemic ends.😄

[@dianeokawa5246]

I don’t blame you... I would not cross that bridge either! Too scary.

[@jenny2638]

Rion, you are too cute! 😄 I am very frightened of heights too, so I completely understand your fear. I was laughing, but I would be laughing at myself too! I’m glad you are out having fun and letting me live vicariously through you until I can go to Japan again!
