This is so cool... ハンナちゃんが撮る景色、自然の音、編集の仕方、もう全部美しい！！！日本の自然の良さをこんなにリアルに動画にして伝えてくれてありがとう！

[@recktro]

Really killing it with your vlogs this year. The antique shop and the tori with the waterfall shot is just so nicely done coupled with the music selection for the vlog. 👏👏

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thank you Keinn! It feels right now ☺️

[@akapantsusenpai181]

As much I as enjoy watching your videos, I think it's the actual sound editing that stands out. It's like ASMR. The sound of the cicadas really transported me to where you were.

[@shijimi369]

私は日本人で日本に住んでいますが、日本にこのような美しい場所があるとは知りませんでした。このビデオは日本人が観ても楽しむことができます。あなたの素晴らしい仕事に感謝します。

[@jennifer_who]

Gorgeously shot and edited. I love that you completely reinvented your content and have found a format that seems your own

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thank you Jennifer ☺️ That really means a lot!

[@antnguyen]

Again, I have to say I really appreciate you noting all of the musicbed tracks. It really saves me a lot of time looking for these songs that I'm sure you spent so much time culling through! I just use them for home videos of my kids lol but again, much appreciated! Wonderful video, as always *approving jeep owner nod*

[@rocktronchameleon]

So beautiful as always... いつも空撮も上手いし、何でも魅力的に撮るのがすごい

[@Cobblar]

This might sound silly, but I've been watching you for a long time, I lived in Japan for a while, and we're about the same age. That first shot of the car at 0:45 made me think: Man, look at us. We're all growing up and finally figuring things out, eh? I'm also starting my 30's and finally have the resources to invest in things that I enjoy. It wasn't easy for our generation, so it's reassuring to see us all finally coming into our own. Never thought a shot of a Jeep would make me so emotional! Haha. Anyway, good luck on your adventures!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Not silly at all! Hahaha a real “look at us” moment 😄 I love it!

[@Hans-gb4mv]

As someone who is now closer to 40 than 30, I disagree with 1 thing. I think for our generation, it has been a lot easier than for generations before us. And we might even be part of what is essentially a golden generation, where we were able to start having those resources at such an early age because I believe that the kids of today will find it more difficult.

[@curiousnomadic]

Sounds like it was easier for yours.

[@curiousnomadic]

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

I keep thinking I don't need to comment because these videos speak for themselves, they are superb. But holy crap, I need to get it out there. These videos are superb. They are absolutely gorgeous. Shots, editing, music, commentary. There is nothing that ain't perfect. And. And, next level Japan. That's the Japan we all love to discover when we road trip around the countryside. Green fields next to freeways and shinkansen lines, breathtaking natural beauty, and quintessential Japan with places like the antique shop. Loved it!

[@jordanmartinez8522]

Hey Hannah, thank you for showing the other side of Japan. Your videos are so relaxing and therapeutic. The drives, the stunning views, the awesome drone shots and of course your smile and Chris’. As a subscriber, I appreciate the hard work and the effort you put into it. Hiking and camping is not easy, it is tiring and you sometimes do it by yourself, and then you’re gonna turn it to a beautiful video, plus the editing and sleepless nights. Maaan, how do you do that. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you. Content creators like you needs to be appreciated by millions!! Hope you get it soon!! 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you!

[@joe-m]

Digging the new content and format. Loving the random decisions to pull off into places you don't even know to have lunch, or stopping at an unexpected antique shop. Curiosity provides so many unexpected treats for the videos. Keep it up. ❤

[@mikasasaki]

always love the quality of your videos! not just in terms of the shooting/editing of it but the thought & sentiment that goes into it. watching your solo travelling vlogs have inspired me so much & would love if you could do a video on tips to solo travelling or how to start hiking as a beginner!

[@Arkhavist_S]

Ngl, after that first struggle, I was kinda hoping we'd get a shot of Hannah standing atop the roof tent thing and stomping it shut like Daffy Duck overpacking a suitcase.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hahah I probably would've tried it if that man didn't walk past at that time!

[@Hans-gb4mv]

@@CurrentlyHannah How did it go after the second night? I assume there was no one to help you that time.

[@Miruzilla]

I LOVE flea markets or Antique shops. its just really interesting browsing through really old stuff! I teared up just watching at this ahahaha. This must have been an amazing experience!! I would have loved visiiting this little shop!!

[@JustinOnScreen]

After being avid travelers, these last few years we've been idle. Sitting and waiting, wondering when our life was going to 'get back to normal.' I watch your videos every Sunday with tea while I get ready for the day, and something about this specific video finally hit me. It's up to us to define what our days look like. There is no going back, only going forward. I am determined to make next year amazing and get back out there. Thank you for the videos you post. They are so much more than just entertainment.

[@Alex__H13]

Loved the jeep-by-the-bidge timelapse going into the drone shot over the rice fields and houses. Great roof tent but what a nightmare to pack up solo!

[@Manulajes]

Content every 2 weeks! I love it! Thank you for your dedication!

[@whitetshirrt]

Your videos are such a bliss !!!

[@tristanforsyth]

That ending!! Nice to see things continue to move onwards and upwards for you, Hannah!

[@seandesmond5560]

Great vlog Hannah!!! Such a beautiful part of the world!!!

[@momokadawi8955]

Amazing video and Nature ... Peaceful !!!

[@wanderlustalley]

Such a beautiful Vlog 👏👏

[@mountainswell]

Stunning video. Love watching your videos with a coffee and relaxing inside my van. Japan is an awesome country for overlanding. Been in my van now 1 year and meet so many types of people on the journey

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oh vanlife comes with its own perks and challenges too. Congrats on a year!

[@cblightning6]

Another awesome video. I always look forward to your videos!

[@mindbendernine]

That camper tent on your Jeep's roof is brilliant! So innovative

[@FishingwithRod]

Loving the lighting and backdrop of your new outro setting Hannah. Great job!

[@sheilasf195]

I always feel privileged to see your videos. Thank you for such unique, excellent and interesting content.

This whole video was a vibe Hannah-San

[@dimitardimitrov5913]

Thank you for this beautiful video, Hannah.

[@Shá_doe]

The off road/ overlanding community is for the most part chill and always vibing, it's all part of it.

[@frasermackie19]

Loved this. The antique store lady moving your shoes to an easier place for you was the cherry on top. You are officially in the cool car club haha!

[@J_CAMP]

Hello. I am Japanese. I happened to find this channel on KZbin recommendations. I think this channel is a great channel filled with the beauty and charm of Japan that Japanese people don't realize. Thank you for coming to Japan. Coincidentally I am using the same camera (α7s III) as you. The videos you shoot are very attractive. So, what are your settings when shooting, what color profile do you use, what kind of slog shooting (pp1-pp11)? I would love to know which one you use. By the way, I personally think the best adventure spots are Kamikochi in Nagano Prefecture, Nyuhankei in Aichi Prefecture, and Takachiho Gorge in Miyazaki Prefecture.

[@pseunoxy4046]

The composition of your vlog is so amazing! Keep it up! This inspires me to try nature vlogging!

[@edwinodus]

I love the camera placement in the back seat, I'm going to try that

[@westvillage321]

I've been waiting !

[@jamillsantiago]

Love your editing style. So cool, Hannah.

[@michaelgrahamdesigns]

Great video and awesome editing!

[@Lilly_1207]

Your videos are so underrated! I may be a little emotional but seeing your travel videos could make me cry they are so beautiful ❤ Also Japan is a such a beautiful county 🇯🇵❤

[@peterg1753]

Lovely video as always. Can't wait to get back to Japan after nearly three long years.

[@Lisa-gq7qh]

I think most of us know Japan is picturesque, but wowowow. I was in for a treat with this video! Such a bliss! I got second-hand enjoyment watching !! Loved that you stopped by the antique shop, seemed like such a nice moment. Iwamon river fall was my favorite spot, I totally get why you would be hesitant to share the exact locations. Anyway, always impressed and admirative of how you go after the things you want and pull things off. I'm just so impressed and it makes me feel motivated to chase my passions even more!

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

hahhhaha not the cannopy falling everytime haha i love your videos and miss japan dearly

[@alexjcorona2605]

I'm 1:50 in and the last few compositions have been stunning.

Living the dream, Hannah. Well done 😊

Hannah, I love your videos. thank you so much for keep posting them. I am in Japan now for a week and your are my to go guide. so I wanted to really thank you.

[@user-dt4df2eb6p]

and also I am a solo camper here in Japan :) I love camping 😊

[@hellobobby]

Great video - so interesting to see the drivers side on the right!

[@markhla427]

Everything looks better with a Torii gate in front of it! Great video Hannah... So cool that your setup let's you travel solo so easily (but I was nice to see Chris at the end 😁) 👍❤️👍

[@itisriley]

So many beautiful locations

[@aikidragonpiper71]

Overland camping and exploring looks awesome. I want to try it someday. I’m in Arkansas, USA , we have plenty of places in Arkansas to Overland in the Ozarks and Ouachita s.

Amazing, thank you

[@weljenks]

I would have bought that camera and that 1982 medal!

[@_The_Lemon_Man]

That camping spot you found was the quirkiest I've ever seen. Not many campers get such rare opportunities. 😂 Well, I loved the way you captured all the beautiful moments. It was great.

[@tloraynevv7353]

Thank you for another stunning video, I don't know if I could have walked out of that antique store without needing another backpack or two.

[@sidhup7308]

17:46 tip for the future, turn on Google Maps Timeline (it may already be on), it'll automatically create a drive path for everyday and add locations you stop at. I've had mine on for 4 or 5 years and I can go back to any day and see where I was.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oooh interesting! I’ll give it a go!

[@sidhup7308]

@@CurrentlyHannah Also the “Offline Maps” feature is great, you can select an area and google maps will download an offline copy of it, which automatically updates monthly. Great for when cell service gets spotty, you can have multiple offline maps. For example a single offline map are is big enough to hold the entire country of Albania, or a bit more than half of the North Island of New Zealand 😅. I used it in Albania and New Zealand during my travels.

[@roaming_bear]

Wooow Thank you youtube for what you've done today to me You brough me to someone who is camping and traveling in oversea with wrengler! which is one of my goals! Yeyyy And great respect from S.Korea 🤩

[@RyanLeeBanks]

This was such a calming vlog, I very much enjoyed it! I miss sleeping in a roof tent, there's something about it that's so relaxing and cosy... I'm not jealous at all.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I agree. It feels very different to a regular tent (mostly because you get a proper mattress haha)

[@RyanLeeBanks]

@@CurrentlyHannah Agreed, and the mattress is so bloody comfy too 😂

[@digitalcamera3237]

I wish I was in Japan overloading too! If you come to America again I would love to show you places to overland here in the states. I have a pick up lifted with the big tires and a camper which to top pops up so you can stand up in the camper.

[@xBris]

The bit at the end was cute :) Love you guys.

[@andgainingspeed]

Always impressed by the visual storytelling. Nice call on the vintage postcards. How cool would it be to get one in the mail with a note. 👍

[@toqirspace]

Awesome! Love from Germany!

[@MrMamba45]

Nice 1st setup!!! You will find once you upgrade to a self-supporting 270ish awning it's so much easier with more covered usable space.... tent looks like a pain in the ass a mate uses a clamshell design from Camp King and it's so easy to setup and close... have fun exploring the wild side of Japan and yes, I'm 100% jealous!!!!!

[@nyonyopraia]

This video is masterclass level of cinematography. Bonza works, Hannah. *okasan equals to hospitality.

"Ahhh I really have to pee!" - *Walks into water* xDDD idk but why but that made me laugh so hard haha

[@alanberry8239]

Great content, I remember the James Baroud struggle. You will get a routine to close it, but its hard if its windy.

[@jaydkaladcamper]

Noice!!!! Also started car camping early this year and we've been enjoying it so far. Going out the city and experiencing the outdoors without the usual comforts really is something we look forward to. * Tundra is Toyota. * We use the same folding Quechua chair. Very handy and comfy. 😃

[@mike_penaranda]

This might help you with deploying the awning. As you’re unfolding it deploy the arms soon as you can and just extend it as you move unfold further. At the end deploy the legs then you should be able to reach for the arms and lock it in place. Pls remember to secure it with a guy line especially on a windy day. 🙂 Long time quiet sub here, but I thought I’d maybe offer some helpful tip from a car camper. 😁 Hope this helps. Looking forward to more of your over-landing adventures! Happy camping, Hannah! ❤️⛺️

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oooh that’s a good tip! Thanks!

I can't get over how nice the whole camping rig is. Even if it's super tricky to collapse the tent solo.

[@daarck_worgen]

right, before I start I know how juvenile this is. And yet... I really enjoy you being sponsored by Storyblocks, because every time you say it, for some reason I hear Storybollocks and it makes me smile. Love the vids, love seeing how much you're enjoying the Jeep and the additional freedom it affords you. One of the best content creators I follow in terms of quality and content, hope you're both good (nice to see Chris with his channel on the go) and keep it up for ages to come.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hahaha that’s the best reason to enjoy a sponsor 😂 I’ll be sure to never change the way I say it then haha

[@SmallBlogV8]

Ohh I love it when a fellow Car Person spots me and gives a positive signal of recognition. Little moments of feeling part of something all of a sudden!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Haha yeah I felt part of a special club or something!

[@Nynke_K]

ahhhhhh lovely! feeling very happy and relaxed after watching this ☺️. also my mouth just fell open when I saw the genkan shoe bag on the side of the tent! that's genius! and I'm curious: was folding the tent up in fact easier the second time?

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah the little shoe bag is so handy! And waterproof too! The second night Chris and some friends met up with me so in the morning Chris put it down by himself to see if it was possible (it was haha)

[@lebronkiddz]

I can see myself retiring in Japan, live less but happier :-😮😂this video make me want to jump to the plane and visit Japan for the 4th time

日本の多くの河川は急峻です。河原でキャンプなどをするときには天候に十分注意してください。雨が降り出したら予想外に水量が増す場合があります。安全に気をつけて楽しんでください。
