[@williamchen6105]

I just know Martina definitely overworks herself to get all these video out for us to enjoy. Just want to say it's 100% all worth it as it always brings me (and I am sure lots of people) happiness watching these video ❤

[@p3t4l]

Martina deserves her own Netflix documentary, I'd follow her anywhere 💙

[@elihinze3161]

YES! I so agree!

[@seafarer_]

A series of her visiting each prefecture would be AMAZING!!

[@YukiOnna86]

I love that when you visit all these places you talk about accessability for those of us with mobility issues

[@charlesrovira5707]

One of the many perks of her videos is the care that she takes on selecting destination.

[@RIXRADvidz]

travel for me is no longer an option, so riding along with Martina is just as nice if not nicer, no airports or crowds, just a private tour with our mostest favoritest hostess, Kween of King Kogi Martina. Bigg Huggs !!

[@CG-cl9fn]

The vibes in this video are immaculate 😤👌🏼

[@KingKogi]

Thanks Connie (although your name currently says CG cl9fn...but I"m pretty sure you're Connie from your picture...) it was tough with the crowded nature of this marketplace haha but we worked hard to capture all the realistic vibes

[@CG-cl9fn]

@@KingKogi oh yes it’s me! At some point KZbin auto changed my username 🫠 but it’s so sweet that you recognise me!! ❤️ I can imagine it can be so hard to film with so many people around, but the way you’re able to capture the realistic vibes and squish them with your sparkly magic vibes is my favourite part of your videos! Hope you’re keeping well and well done again ❤️✨

[@hillaryjosiana7502]

I’ve been following you since the Kpop era 🥺 And seeing you thrive and always being who you are is always inspiring Its my dream to move to japan Will include all these places into my bucket list for sure❤❤❤ いつも頑張ってね✨

[@Wyrdwad]

Your videos never disappoint -- they're always just a real VIBE! Chill, fun, informative, and concise, all presented with impeccable editing and camerawork. You're definitely one of the most underrated Japantubers, IMHO, and I'll be linking this video to my family for sure, as they'll be visiting me here in Tokyo in June, and we'll be heading to Kyoto together for a few days after that -- and your travel guide may be just what the doctor ordered for a really nice time!

[@k_ph99]

I love that in this video (and your past videos as well) you also included the things you were disappointed by! Something I realized after travelling more was that you’ll inevitably try something that doesn’t meet your expectations or regret spending valuable time somewhere that wasn’t as interesting as you thought. That’s just the reality of travelling, especially when you’re looking to explore rather than sticking to a strict itinerary. Hopefully people see this guide and realize that a few mishaps shouldn’t define their travel experience. The hits AND the misses are all part of the experience.

[@noeinroad7294]

Thank you for continuing to make videos. I've never met you but when life seems a little too much to bear, watching or rewatching your videos brings me a moment of peace and happiness. CROD sightings, Ghibli, shrines, gardens and ALL the food. It's like the friend who keeps reminding you that there are still things to look forward to in life.

[@KingKogi]

Keep building that ladder 🪜I’m glad I can bring a bit of relief and a sprinkle of happiness to you!

[@TheRealSala]

Something about food on a stick just makes everything taste better 😆

[@KingKogi]

little bites of simple joy

[@TheRealSala]

Yess!

[@aninditaariantiputri9573]

Butter?? BUTTER?? (Flashback to the Kitkat blind tasting video) Love you Martina!

[@KingKogi]

I forgot about that butter kit kat! And I've never seen it since

[@rixanoz]

I just know this is gonna be a classic

[@TheIrishAlchemist205]

From someone who's probably unlikely ever to be able to go - thank you for sharing and bringing us on a tour today Martina! Your videos are always a delight, and I always find myself looking forward to the next one, no matter how long its been. ♥

[@somethingillregret]

There are few things on the internet that make me as happy as finding a new Martina video ❤

[@TheRealSala]

You had some BEAUTIFUL shots in this video! 😍 The city bakery and the shrine looked so pretty!!

[@3katfox]

The cinematography in your videos are always top tier You always bring your A-game and I just wanted to say how great your content always is

[@kimberlydeverell2863]

Kyoto is probably my favorite city I’ve visited in Japan. There’s so much to see and do, and the food is amazing. When I studied abroad there, one of the outings was a tour through Nishiki. There are actually a few shrines in the market! I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves food, and exploring different shops. I hope to be able to visit again!

[@Batzcrazy]

Love your video, my little nephew started to watch them with me, he always come to my room asking to watch a video of yours with me and it can only be yours, which I never mind becuase i really enjoy watching your videos.

[@KingKogi]

That’s so great to hear! Please say hi to him from me~

[@kara6320]

Your content is so one of a kind, I haven't found a youtube channel that creates videos like yours at all! I hope you know how special, talented and creative you are!!

[@KingKogi]

Wow, thank you! That’s such a heartwarming thing for you to say 🥹

[@TheNails3]

"scrumptious little package of yum" 😊😊 cherry cheesecake, what a delightful thing

[@pais5231O1]

I can't see grilled octopus without having vivid flash backs to watching Iron Chef America in like 2008 where the secret ingredient was octopus and there is this slow-mo shot of the suckers exploding off of the tentacle while being grilled.

[@KingKogi]

hahahhhahaha what a memory

[@neweyeswideopen]

Oh what a beautiful morning when Martina posts a little joy for me to visually devour. ❤❤❤ Love from Iowa

[@awkwardatlas5623]

What a Monday treat!

[@annith]

THANK YOU FOR ADDING VEGAN/VEGETARIAN OPTIONS IN YOUR GUIDE

[@sims2lovealot]

I adore Kyoto so much and the Nishiki markets are amazing! Can't wait to use your guide when I go back

[@aquaarietta]

Sadly had to end my trip to Japan early last month and couldn't really do much of anything while I was there because of health issues. But I'm excited to go again someday and have even more of your guides to add to our itinerary! Nishiki Market is definitely a top place my husband and I want to visit, and now I definitely want to try butter anko taiyaki

[@munaghebredingle9393]

Your voice is so soothing! I listened to this while studying. Hopefully one day i can go. God bless you and have a good day!!

[@nhiko7028]

Perfect time for me to take a break from cleaning!! 🫶🏼

[@KingKogi]

What were you cleaning? I must ask. A few days ago I took a day off and cleaned. That was somehow my day off haha I loved it

[@nhiko7028]

Hehe feeling like a domestic goddess because I'll be hosting my team Christmas dinner this Saturday! In the process of cleaning the dining room since I've already tackled areas like my room and tea shelves ✨✨

[@0chibijulie0]

This was a wonderful am surprise 😊.

[@hidrowiz1313]

So glad to see Martina still making content 😊 been watching since EYK days ❤

[@mariojsworld]

Great Kyoto market trip.

[@haikaido]

Dude...Martina....I just freakin love that you're still out here making these awesome videos. I've been watching since you started making videos waaay back in the days when they were primarily for friends and family lol. I still love and watch every single one.

[@dazuotv]

Thank you for the wonderful video of Kyoto Food Stall Gourmet Guide 👍

[@yeseniaarredondo4016]

Dear, oh dear! The mochi cherry cheese cake looks out of this world. I'd love to try it. Thanx for sharing.

[@TheRealSala]

Alsooooo first time I got all the trivia questions right 😆

[@phoenixyoder5729]

most looked forward to KZbinr in my subscription list. hands down.

[@pott2502]

I love your videos (have been watching you since 09) and am planning a backpacking trip for October 😄🥰 Can you do a video on how to get around the country? What apps should we have on our phone when visiting for the 1st time, how to pay for transportation, average cost of transit, do's and dont's while on transit (it sounds like big backpacks are a "don't" because of crowded subways), what's the best way to turn paper yen into coins for those planning to visit temples, etc. Anything would help, I'm kinda using you as my one stop shop guide and already purchased your Ultimate Japan Guide 😄

[@sharanyachowdhury6955]

Bro, I love these so much. I've been following your for almost a decade now, I would like to be like you someday.

[@pais5231O1]

Wish id known about this market when I was there in 2020

[@KingKogi]

Right? It is surprisingly hard to find. I only just found out about it, hence this video of honest exploration

[@Mr.SailorJ]

I love Nishiki! I've taken all of my American guests there, and they love it!

[@gregwittel7011]

It’s been ages since I had been to Kyoto and this brought back so many memories. I had forgotten how awesome the market is. Need to get back there one day and eat all the things!

[@Mono_Corsovia]

Ahh what a bliss... after hot shower I put on new pj's and now I'm gonna enjoy new King Kogi video🦄

[@SS-wk1kb]

i was just in japan and already miss the country lots! ty for uploading the video

[@callasky]

I visited Japan a couple months ago and went to the Nishiki Market. The Butter Taiyaki is a must! It's easily the best Taiyaki I've ever tasted!

[@paranoidhumanoid]

Kewpie makes everything nice.

[@spectral__]

I love your videos so much. Please know that when you have rough days, there are a bunch of fellow airship travelers out there rooting for you lol

[@05thebends]

Thank you for the hard work! You create a specific mood for these videos and it works so well. Your knowledge of where to go is indispensable. And you save anyone going to Japan so much time. Ramen? Martina says go here. Sushi? Martina says go here. Love these videos.

[@EveValmiri]

Your videos are always so uplifting. They remind me to put myself out there and try new things. ❤

[@ancientflounder]

Oh, my goodness, the anko butter taiyaki looks so good. 😮 My love for Snoopy would still beckon me to that stall, but maybe I’ll just go for a custard one.

[@hamiltonbean]

Excellent video. Nice to see some different items from Nishiki instead of the usual.

[@JackOusley]

Can't stop commenting as I go... That cheesecake, dayum!

[@higginslake100]

Your videos help me build my ladder . ❤ ❤❤

[@MrSushielove]

You look great Martina! I am so happy to be watching your videos

[@vee7586]

im never going to japan but i love waching!

[@ladyserena1989]

Hey Martina! I just wanted to know that your videos really help me with my Anxiety and depression. Thank you for this amazing content. Always soothing, always hopeful.❤

[@xblondiekins]

I love hearing the raven @12:43. Miss that sound so much! This is a beautiful video, really well done to showcase the beauty of Nishiki Market.

[@pais5231O1]

When I was in Kyoto the arcade I walked through was super cute and also had a few shines/ temples with entrances through the arcade. Suck a unique mix. Kyoto was so different from Tokyo and I loved it

[@Qoobee123]

Kansai is my second home and this video from Kyoto brought back so many memories. Thank you Martina for your amazing work. ❤

[@metalcorequeen]

Martina you always look so beautiful ❤ i love your videos. I struggle with EDS as well and the cold weather has really been taking its toll. Your smile is so infectious and sunshiny it helps me feel a lot better and feel like I'm not alone.

[@izabellavanryn3531]

I can imagine the butter takes Anko to the next level for those of us who love sweet and savory. YUM!

[@patrss]

I recommend the shichimi ice cream at ぢんとら at Nishiki market, it’s the most amazing ice cream flavour and very rare! It’s spicy and sweet and creamy, it’s amazing!

[@Taliasaurus]

Woahh I love the idea of butter in taiyaki! I make taiyaki at home so I will definitely be stealing this for my recipes

[@KingKogi]

I just came back from the store and bought frozen yakitori. Warmed it up in the oven and added a wedge of butter and it was so so so yum

[@Taliasaurus]

@@KingKogi Truly, butter makes everything better

[@JackOusley]

Oooh, I want a red bean / butter taiyaki!!! Right up my alley

[@Tizdizwiz]

Martina this is another AMAZING video

[@DiamondsandDevils]

Love your style and enthusiasm!

[@Horticarter41]

Martina has been one of my OG favorites since I found KZbin. I was about 5 years late to the party and didn't start an account until 2010. And yes, I am very old haha, shutup.

[@elihinze3161]

Such a fun video! I can't wait to visit one day

[@Sachikosgrl]

Yay I've been so excited waiting for this video to come out. Looks amazing!!

[@LA32319]

I was just in Kyoto for a week and had a blast exploring Nishiki Market! So excited to watch this now.

[@KingKogi]

Was it busy? I was pretty surprised at how busy it was, but it did go through waves. Did you get the chance to try the butter taiyaki? Dangerously good 🧈

[@LA32319]

@@KingKogi it was insanely busy but we managed it well enough! We stayed at Ace Hotel so we walked to it, maybe 15 minutes there. I didn’t get to try the butter taikayki, I WISH I had!! It looked delicious in your video. Also Kyoto itself was pretty busy in most of the touristy spots. My favorite non busy day was at the end of the trip November 24th in Maruyama Park with the autumn leaves and the nature. 🥰🥰 It was our first time in Japan, I am already ready to go back!

[@kaly7693]

Love the video! I just finished reading Sweet Bean Paste by Tetsuya Akikawa and it gave me a whole new appreciation for taiyaki! Really lovely book, highly recommend.

[@gfunklbc8849]

Thanks for the wonderful and informative video!

[@christinadoss5935]

Martina I'm a longtime fan and your videos are always so gorgeous! I adore the cute pig mascot and really appreciate all the honest feedback you give instead of the usual gushing some vlogs do.

[@bethetroubleyouwant]

There is this stand that makes tofu mini Donuts and tofu croquettes, INCREDIBLE!!!

[@KingKogi]

I saw the tofu donuts and croquettes and the only reason I didn’t go was because I frequented a tofu donut shop in Kichijoji all the time haha 😂

[@ruiiichu]

I love how you capture the locals of Japan, the aesthetics are definitely there and enjoyable for me to watch. Keep up the good work, Martina!

[@YasmeenMO]

All the food looks so good

[@mercedesgarcia6977]

Martina knows what kind of shopping her audience will be interested in!

[@CopperCassie]

Thank you for the video! We just came to Kyoto. It was a fun trip ❤ I really enjoy the Kansai region

[@heyitsmeadac]

Catching up on content. Always a joy to watch these videos :D Whenever I'm at work and I have a lofi playlist on, there is this song from your intro and with KKTrivia and it remind me of your videos :D

[@catorotoro]

Just wanted to say the how amazed I am at quality of your videos! Also I’m kinda bummed out that the snoopy wasn’t so tasty when they looked good. At least you got your redemption

[@KingKogi]

Yes I was so bummed out after waiting so long, but goes to show you that sometimes cute isn’t always delicious 😂

[@_de_reve]

as someone who went to kyoto in 2019 for university stuff and stayed for a few weeks.... i LOVED this video and when i will go back someday i will for sure use your electronic guide, martina✨

[@ambersmoot4263]

I love the variety of skewers in Japan. My favorite was mochi and cheese wrapped in ham. I could eat it everyday!

[@sass2836]

Always a delight to see a new video from Martina show up in my subscriptions! Can't wait to watch!

[@heidymiami2717]

your videos always bring me peace 🥲🥰

[@mariejosselin7814]

Thank you for the great content!

[@Maybeitsmaybelline0]

TV quality filming/editing! ( :

[@punktrash3681]

The quality of these videos are always top notch! Love it!✨

[@nihonbabe]

I love watching your clips!!! I feel like I am there by your in-depth descriptions and great video!!! Arigato!!!

[@kaguyahioguu12]

i love your hair, Martina!

[@isou.i]

I swear, asahi is so good on draft

[@KingKogi]

And it was still hot when I was in Kyoto so it was REFRESHING 😊

[@thestarspark2288]

Awesome video! I always get excited when i see you have a new one out because i know im just going to be transported to a place of positivity and beauty.

[@pais5231O1]

Call me crazy, but the BEST taiyaki I've had was from a little stand at the back of the shinjuku Don qui it was SO GOOD!

[@Bunnio666]

;-; thank you for all these videos! Definitely gonna use them when I visit

[@yichen4398]

King 👑 Kogi - from the east coast queen 👸 Kang!!!!kangrooooo

[@jessieoceguera9349]

It makes my heart so happy to see your uploads come on to my feed! I love following your adventures

[@SotoAivalis]

Oh how much I miss Kyoto, thanks for the video Martina, looking forward to seeing the rest of Kyoto 🫶🏻

[@Harmonia96]

It's a good problem to have, that area of Kyoto being busy. I've seen so many videos in the past before the borders opened about how Kyoto was in financially dire straits, and I'm glad to see these streets in particular still containing that hustle and bustle.

[@ApplePieUniverse1]

This is amazing 👏

[@alexandergiesser]

This was mouthwatering from beginning to end I am SO hungry now! WELL DONE, MARTINA!!!

[@NerdWatchJinxy]

As a total pickle fanatic, that little market looks delicious! 😍
