Must-do trip to Wakayama castle, Japan ｜Things to do near Osaka

[@joshuaradloff1070]

Good to see there's no haters screaming cultural appropriation🙄 You looked really beautiful Cathy!😭❤

[@whyisthisathingnow...]

I miss Wakayama! I had been an exchange student there before. I used to ride my bicycle past there each day to school. It's really beautiful during autumn.

[@AskJapanese]

Wow! So you had a great experiences!! Did you stayed in wakayama city? Or other area?

[@whyisthisathingnow...]

Ask Japanese Yeah, I stayed in Wakayama city. It was a great experience :)

[@AskJapanese]

Nice!!

[@deonardomendez9426]

Omg cathy😍😍😍 its like u paid for an experience rather than just a tour. I think the Japanese were really on to a brilliant idea, literally all their castles look soo divine . And soo picturesque i loved the ninja part. And seeing Cathy struggle to walk in the dress was a nice bit of humour . ❤❤ Each vid Cathy does is sooo good , because its funny, entertaining and just a nice little bit of culture or scenery ❤❤ ❤❤❤❤

[@AskJapanese]

Yes! Actually we felt lots of historical things and more Japanese stuff than I can do in osaka. Really nice to visited there and hope we can do more things in wakayama again!

[@intergalacticlove]

11:02 I loved this omotenashi Ninja, what a great personality and energy he has :) And what a wonderful Video Cathy :)

[@markcolfer2722]

This was beautiful! I loved knowing about the layers you had to wear, the style of your Kimono looks amazing! Wonderful selection of history, activity and silly times :D Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

[@AskJapanese]

Wakayama is so fun to visit!! Check the other videos will be posted tomorrow too!

[@zoomzabba452]

This episode, more than any other, has transported me outside myself. Thank you very much and keep exploring!

[@AskJapanese]

Thanks!! We do our best!

[@treefriar8791]

Cathy`s Selfie Report made me dizzy! That looked like an incredible experience, Director-san! You and Cathy Cat really come up with some great ideas for these videos!

[@AskJapanese]

Thank you! In fact, I brought all camera gears as many as I could there lol

[@TimDespain]

I'm really enjoying these tourism videos! I don't think I'll ever get the opportunity to travel to Japan, so it's great to see amazing sites like this vicariously through Cathy (and Director).

[@AskJapanese]

Thank you so much! It's so fun to see new place where youtubers has not been so much yet^^ we should explore more local areas too!

[@riccig847]

I really want dress up like an ancient Japanese Princess too😆 and I really love your dress! It really suits you Cathy cat 😍 You're like a true Princess 😘👸

[@AskJapanese]

The tour plan we did is pretty awesome!!

[@森本浩樹-m8e]

Omg!! Wakayama is my hometown!! Very welcome

[@AskJapanese]

Whaaaaaat!? Wakayama is awesome!

[@maeganaphrodite5861]

The castle is so beautiful! I wish I could go to Japan!

[@AskJapanese]

Cooooooome!!

[@Hoshikouture]

The princess kimono is so pretty and intricate! It looks so peaceful in Wakayama

[@RikoMatsuoka]

Oh my god, now I really wish I’d visited Wakayama when I travelled to Osaka earlier this year... the whole experience seems totally worth it! Wakayama castle looks so beautiful and peaceful as well, sad I only went to Osaka castle which was also interesting but bustling with people.

[@AskJapanese]

Yes! For me, wakayama castle is much better than Osaka castle. There was few people and very large area. Nice to feel more JAPANESE is there!!

[@RikoMatsuoka]

来月また日本に戻るので、予定を合わせられたらぜひ行ってみます(^^) うぽつです！

[@AskJapanese]

ぜひAskJapaneseを見たとアピールしてください🤣

[@lizawithaz9524]

I LOVED this. You looked beautiful as a Princess Cathy! :)

[@AskJapanese]

Yeeeeees!! She is truly the one 🌟

[@sydneyhoskins4147]

That was a cool video ,that looks like that would have been fun to be a princess for a day

[@AskJapanese]

Yes! So fun and matched for the place a lot!

[@darlenegarcia2352]

That's so fun. I'll definitely enjoy the tour and roleplay ☺️😆

[@GothicKitty1313]

Seeing Cat being treated like the princess she is, so good!! ❤ you look gorgeous and the fight scene was very well done :D

[@AskJapanese]

Thank you! And me a ninja lol

[@MisterD90x]

Looks like great fun! everyone is so friendly, and Tina was a great guide/host

[@AskJapanese]

Yes! She is super talented!

[@quintrankid8045]

That looked like a lot of fun. Hard to walk in heavy princess outfit explains the need for palanquins. Yes, the ninja attack was like watching a little samurai film, but usually the princesses are a little more stoic.

[@karldunne5595]

Amazing Kimono!!!!!! 👘... Beautiful gardens!!! and history of the castle... Samurai has to be quick...im sure they train hard..(Japanese Story is one of my favourite movies 2003 with Toni Collet).... If anyone ever has a chance to watch it..

[@lushaniathukorala1477]

This episode was so fun and Cathy looks so pretty. The action movie scene looked cool haha 😄 i vant wait for the next episode 😆 love your videos 💕

[@AskJapanese]

Thank you! Please leave your comment for tomorrow post too ^^

[@lushaniathukorala1477]

[@Maj01984]

"Saw the castle, smashes the like button" Beautyful video guys thumbs up! I love your channel

[@AskJapanese]

Yaaaaaas!! Thank you so much!!

[@Auzrill]

This was so cool! Looking forward to the next video

[@AskJapanese]

Yes please!!

[@TedEhioghae]

I loved your gown from the beginning 😍

[@AskJapanese]

I love your photogenic thumbnail too!

[@fo4urm640]

I bet that castle had never, in all it's years, seen such a beautiful princess.

[@AskJapanese]

Hahahaha must be!

[@dpsphil5128]

I can't remember how many times I went to Wakayama castle. I lived in Wakayama for 1 and a half years while studying in Wakayama YMCA.

[@reahermoso7688]

Thank you so much for your video

[@Gin_Kush]

I wish i could see you that day ! I live in Wakayama and i see often those ninjas in Wakayama castle ☺ that's a nice calm city

[@AskJapanese]

Oh you are there!! Let's meet up the next time!!

[@Gin_Kush]

With pleasure !!

[@HarryToeface]

Such an amazing video! I love the idea and execution!

[@AskJapanese]

Thaaaaaaank you!

[@HarryToeface]

Ask Japanese my pleasure director! 🐈

[@ikonoclastic]

This is my favorite episode.

[@Alex-xf4df]

Amazing 😍 I really like Japanese culture

[@stanggirl70]

That dress is fantastic!

[@betochavez4418]

Cathy looks so pretty !!! greetings from Mexico. I love your channel

[@AskJapanese]

Thaaaaaank you d and huge hug from japan!! We want to visit Mexico someday!

[@hansu-nihon]

love the attack and defence of the princess part! 😂

[@stellafleuret9150]

She looks gorgeous! 😍

[@AskJapanese]

I'm poor lol

[@stellafleuret9150]

Ask Japanese Money is important, but it only brings you temporary happiness. The most important thing I believe, is trying your best everyday so that you can be proud of yourself.

[@ShadowSiren88]

Do they have kimono for large or overweight tourists? I tried to go to a festival in America to rent one and they didn't have one large enough for me. It took me months to order one big enough online and even then they were very few to choose from.

[@AskJapanese]

Yes! They have various kimonos to wear!! They started the kimono exoerience for foreign visitors so, you will be super welcomed by then!!

[@hiyoristernfunkel]

Die Motorsäge im Hintergrund zu hören XD. Wenn ich jemals Wakayama gehe, möchte ich auch zu einer Prinzessin werden, wobei Samurais auch ziemlich cool sind ^^

[@NecroYuki]

Omg that was so amazing! I love castles, it would be great to have the oportunity to wear the full samurai gear *0*, hahaha and poor cathy, that princess costume was heavy ANd you director! You are mean! Taking cathy's icecream.... Hahaha you are the best haha!, cathy's reactions made me laugh alot hahahaha i have to definetly look around for the castles in japan too *0*!!

[@PentragonCosplay]

I love how the people thought that this was a wedding! And this video was beautiful, the outfit looked so nice and I am amazed you managed to walk around in this the whole time! It must have been so exhausting. You surely felt weightless like a feather after getting rid of all these layers, right? XD But I am surprised they allowed you to walk around in these clothes - they seemed to be so expensive. Did you get a special permission to walk around the garden with the princess outfit? I assumed you can only try this on in the "dressing room" but that´s it

[@AskJapanese]

The kimono is really heavy(Cathy says)!! And yes, she jumped a few times she got off the kimono lol. If you join the tour (link in the info), you can wear the kimono and go around whole area in wakayama castle^^

[@PentragonCosplay]

I can easily imagine that haha Oh, very interesting! It´s great that you have the opportunity to walk around like that :)

[@leumas_razalas4427]

I'm here because I thought my humble city of Bakersfield, California was just your average small city with nothing too special. I was wrong however when I discovered we have Sister Cities and Wakayama was our first. Wish I could visit someday.

[@maskedherophantom6238]

Amazing!!!! You are very nice and cool

[@AskJapanese]

You are awesome!!

[@kiyo-gc7rn]

終始明るかったですね。相当楽しかったようですね。見ているほうも楽しめました。英語わからんけどね。W

[@AskJapanese]

和歌山楽しかったです😁

[@digit6445]

LOOOOOved it, Hime-Sama.

[@michael7856]

Just too adorable

[@ticcingalong2962]

Historical things are my favorite things

[@AskJapanese]

Wakayama castle is such a super nice historical place!

[@ToddFarrell]

Wow. I get the feeling the production value of these videos is going up over time. Do you have more staff to help out each video? Do you hire contractors? I guess I'm curious about how the production has changed over time!

[@AskJapanese]

Recently we use new camera gears!! That's why the videos look veeeeryyyyyy nice lol Thank you for watching!

[@ToddFarrell]

Understood. It looks great! Also, I appreciate how the video brings out Cathy's outfit colors in the shots. Very nice, must take lots of time. Not sure how you make night-time stuff work so well but good on you!

[@TheOrwell57]

Danke schön

[@TheQuestionmarkstudi]

That samurai gear looks dope..

[@AskJapanese]

Samuraaaaaaai

[@Atamayama]

着物おもそ〜、でもとても綺麗ですね！今回も本当に面白かったです！ 次回も楽しみにしています。(^o^)/~~~

[@AskJapanese]

実際大変でした!! しかし景色ととてもマッチしました!

[@alien4ful]

i love japan

[@AskJapanese]

Thank you!

[@Webstad]

Well, this looks like one more thing to add to the itinerary. Did you guys check out anything else in Wakayama? It looks like one of those "best kept secret" type of places :)

[@AskJapanese]

To be honest we should stay more days there! Maybe at least 1 week to find more things in wakayama!! Wakayama has not been featured so many youtubers so a lot of new things still be there^^

[@sophiek.8837]

Woooow, das sieht sooooo toll aus!😍 Moment mal, warum schreibe ich hier auf Deutsch?😂

[@井田くん]

いつも楽しく拝見しております。 和歌山城に来られたのですね！ 近くに住んでますので着物cathyさん見たかったなあ

[@AskJapanese]

ありがとうございます! やっぱり和歌山市内ではすごく目立ちましたね笑

[@shinobiworld7606]

this was really cool. how much did you pay them to do the action scene? xD

[@JustAGuyProduction]

Cathy looked a bit like a princess at the beginning.

[@Tensai5516]

カティーは何時も明るくて良いねぇ。 今回の少しお転婆なお姫様が一番似合ってるかも知れないよ。

[@AskJapanese]

おほほほほほ。 って言ってました笑

[@daodao777]

あんみつ姫って感じで、すごくかわいいですね。

[@RedSamurai1000]

Oh Wooow!

[@adora08phoenix]

Oh, very interesting! Gorgeous. So, you and Director san shared a spoon huh? Hum...

[@AskJapanese]

It was fun lol

[@Daniel.Emmanuel10]

I am physically obliged to visit Japan.

[@AskJapanese]

Come to visit us!

[@Mark-OutWest]

Hey when you're wearing the watchamahoozie I bet you could hop up those stairs huh?

[@robertsadler1275]

Moonie Cathy Cat I hope you dont mind me saying you look absolutely beautiful and absolutely stunning and so cute a perfect Moon Princess, the traditional kimono is so colourful you look so adorable wearing it!What a awesome place to visit the castle looks so cool i love love this sort of history and i bet there is tons of history there such a Lovely video Moonie Cathy Cat and Ninja Cat! can you imagine taking one of those umbrella through the airport security with the sword handle,LOL!

[@katrinawheatley81]

Forget dressing up as a villager, I want to be a princess. 😂👘👑👸

[@arktv7832]

Oh... Sie sind meine Engel❤️❤️❤️

[@MstrNb-wq7xt]

Wakayama castle would look like heaven if there were no ice-cream stealers around. By the way, one must be fearless to have ice-cream in silk dress. 😱

[@jameshousden3400]

True Princess.

[@AskJapanese]

A hungry princess lol

[@jameshousden3400]

SHE DOES LIKE HER ICE CREAM

[@jameshousden3400]

STRANGE WAY OF GIVING ONE, HEADS UP

🚴

[@YMT_N_Oro]

Holy fucking shit that's real samurai armour. I wonder how much it would cost to get one of those, if that is even possible.

[@AskJapanese]

A cheaper one is around some hundreds $. And expensive ones ate, you know, endless$ lol

[@YMT_N_Oro]

Is it actually possible to buy one? Damn.

[@alien4ful]

japanese princes should be the real disney prinseses

[@AskJapanese]

Yes! That's what I've been think that a Japanese princess animation will be made in the future

[@Dolly33333]

I always wonder why Cathy goes very well with kimono like a Japanese despite being a German.

[@AskJapanese]

Yes yes, she really wears kimono well! I want to take more photos of her in kimono^^

[@AnimeOtaku2]

That got unexpectedly dark for a second there.

[@AskJapanese]

Oh?

[@AnimeOtaku2]

Ask Japanese yeah, the fact that Japanese princesses had a knife that they carried specifically in case they had to kill themselves is... yikes.

[@TedEhioghae]

AnimeOtaku2 No. Incase something happen, to protect themselves, etc... But I think there are some that threaten their parents about something and if they didn't do it then I think she will kill herself then... ☺️

[@AnimeOtaku2]

Ted Ehioghae ritual suicide was totally a thing in feudal Japan, particularly for the noble classes, instead of the famous seppuku that men would do, a woman would commit Jigai, which was cutting the jugular vein with a small knife.

[@AskJapanese]

History is very interesting^^

[@ابورحابالشريفالشريف]

I wish wear that and you are so nice you always so cute 👍👍

[@AskJapanese]

Thank you!!

[@glasklarglasklar4760]
