Ise City | The city you probably haven't heard of but need to visit

Ise Jingu: goo.gl/wqEJsw
Okage Yokocho: goo.gl/jGylII
More of our adventures on Odigo's channel!
/ odigotraveljapan
A lot of Japanese shopping streets and old districts seem pretty similar (or way out of price range) but Okage Yokocho (right in front of Ise Jingu) was really awesome! There were so many things to see and do, and the food was all amazing. :D Ise ebi was probably the only thing I couldn't handle--Japanese spiny lobster, served raw and still moving. :( But the rest of the food was amazing!! If you're in Mie prefecture, I definitely recommend a trip to Okage Yokocho!

[@vinigirl3182]

Omg, Jun is adorable. While Rachel is fawning over the cute purses, Jun: losing interest..losing interest...ooh! A cat!

[@ireneflamel9899]

Vini Girl And "My seal daifuku's better!"

[@jvccr7533]

it must have looked so weird to others

[@Svetlaunums]

I love that you can tell when Jun is filming based on the level of distraction cats provide

[@AbroadinJapan]

THAT CAT SHOT WAS EPIC

[@RachelandJun]

your face is epic

[@MexieMex]

For some reason, I had the 'Mission Impossible' TV theme playing in my head during the cat chase bit LOL

[@Tigrerra-le6mb]

Rachel & Jun Hahaha wow

[@quil180]

Ayyyy you have inspired me to come and live in Japan when i graduate college;)

[@catbitxh4195]

Rachel and Jun HAhAHA yupp

[@jaiyapapaya]

MY SEAL DAIFUKUS BETTER. Best part of the whole vid

[@DefinitelynotLeed]

Lol

[@oAkieao]

lol i was about to comment the same thing.. instead, i give you a like!

[@jaiyapapaya]

sankyu

[@abigailseals495]

BEES!!!!~

[@ichigopockychan]

You can just imagine him puffing his cheeks up in indignation as he says this

[@rainejefferies889]

I find it totally adorable that Jun was losing interest in watching his darling wife talk purses but as soon as he sees an adorable strat cat he is off to stalk a cat. I love where his priorities lie. XD

[@catbitxh4195]

Alicia Martin same

[@JessicaSmith-bv4cm]

Darling wife? Unless it's an act she's so simple the cats are likely smarter so no wonder he wanders off.

[@Ari_Nekochan]

@@JessicaSmith-bv4cm what's wrong with being simple or not being really smart or hell, just smart? If you love someone and dear to you then their a darling to you. So what's wrong at the og commenter saying She is a darling wife to him. Her level of intelligence does not have any effect on how smart she is. There are different kinds of smartness(?) He was simply wasn't interested at the topic and is much interested on cats than the purse topic.

[@christy-anne-jones]

I can't work out which is cuter: the shiba inu in the dress and baby carriage, or Jun's fascination with the cat that he followed hahaha

[@okanochris]

Oh no...the horrors of my ice cream addictions are now on ur channel haha

[@RachelandJun]

HAHA omg dude I was dying that day, seriously

[@okanochris]

To be honest, I completely forgot about this crazy day haha

[@LettersfromJapan]

Just out of curiosity, how long ago was this filmed?

[@gwardojones]

Ice cream drunkenness. It happens to the best of us.

[@momoo._]

I'm laughing too much for my own good 😂😂

[@RachelandJun]

There were too many cool things in this video so I had absolutely no idea what to title it 0:00 Shrine of the sun goddess 3:00 Cutest koi 3:17 Cat stalking adventure 3:55 Magic umbrella 4:04 Craft beer and oysters 4:10 Dehydrated monsters 4:26 Wooden dragon art 5:00 Raw tuna 5:09 Dog in a dress 6:02 Candy face 7:24 Bee ice cream

[@MinecraftLively]

Been there, stole some stuff from there lmao

[@sandrofani1]

The dog is so kawaii😍😻😻😍

[@moonstonepearl21]

Agreed :)

[@sandrofani1]

MoonstonePearl21​ Do you also like inu shiba's alot?

[@littleoldme4895]

This was really cool , especially the candy face and the ice cream 😋😋 looks yummy Beautiful city as well

[@kemaii5093]

Wait did Jun really leave them to follow a cat?

[@Tamaki742]

Yes

[@kate-ed6ym]

It baited him into a store. He/she catches little cat lovers like Jun🥰

[@catbitxh4195]

Yup🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅😂

[@cakeboy7782]

I mean who wouldn’t?

[@Tamaki742]

​@@kate-ed6ym That cat is truly, a manekineko.

[@moppetmaker]

I would probably do the same thing Chris did. Ice cream is my ultimate weakness. That looked SO delicious.

[@Krieghandt]

I'm waiting for OkanoTV to find an Onsen that sells ice cream in the baths. We'll never see him again.

[@ren7220]

If I ever go there, I'm swallowing up that honey like there's no tomorrow.

[@teraphIl1000]

I sometimes eat a lot of ice cream too! I don't get high on it, though, I just cry and start hating myself.

[@mayawoni]

relatable

[@SweetSinger789]

lol same XD

[@nightblade68]

feel & appreciate the fatness in ur body XD

[@jeanlee1911]

my grandmother ,a proper southern woman, said if you are drawn to bridges you have the soul of a true traveler!

[@HappyInJapan]

Wow, you guys really upped your editing game this time. Must've taken forever. A+. Maybe as good as Gujo Hachiman. I also get goma everything.

[@RachelandJun]

Goma is the shiz. :D

[@RachelandJun]

KZbin never sent this to anyone's feeds yesterday so I'm trying a reupload! Chris's channel: kzbin.info Kim's channel: kzbin.info

[@okanochris]

Oh thanks for the shoutout girl!

[@Antonio-dd3fe]

Lmao at Jun following the cat!

[@jamesfry8983]

does the honey shop sell mead ?

[@sandninja1795]

I don't think mead exists in Japan. I'd be very interested to find some. When I eventually go out to Japan I'm going to scour the land to find out if Japanese Mead exists. I'll come back and post here if I ever find any, even if it's years from now XD After a little research I found a honey and cane spirit (rum?) enriched umeshu called 'Choya Honey' - It's the closest thing I've heard to mead in Japan. I also once tried a sake called Dassai 39, I can highly recommend it - The sake had slight notes of honey in it, it was like mead and sake had a baby. A really beautiful drink, well worth its price!

[@jamesfry8983]

thanks for answering a lot of cultures do have honey based alcohol it seems like one of those universal ideas

[@criticalthinking4594]

Kim what are you doing? 😂 (2:10) Also when Jun was losing interest and spots the cat and starts chasing it was my favorite part.

[@blessme6622]

"You can wash your hands or drink it to purify yourself." "I NEED TO PIRIFY ALL OF ME!" *dives in*

[@poison-ivylopez7512]

that's why when I first landed in Narita japan last 2008...I had 4 hrs to wait b4 my connecting flight ...I can smell the fresh and clean air... and they taking care of the environment on Japan that's why I like it...However I feel bad in my country in Philippines... I wish they have thus kind of strict rules in preserving the nature.One day or in the future I would love to bring my family in Japan... thanks Rachel and Jun for sharing japan

[@YoshikazuHayashi]

This is such a fun video! I thought it was a "serious" introduction of Shinto culture. You covered the subject, but also the fun moments of you guys in following a cat, trying out all flavors of ice cream, getting obsessed with umbrellas and finally getting one and later finding a cheaper price and... I enjoyed every moment of this video! Thank you!!!

[@NinjaHoff]

"The city you probably haven't heard of" is probably one of the most hipster titles i've seen on one of your vids so far xD

[@RachelandJun]

HAHA I wasn't thinking of that!

[@moonstonepearl21]

I love how creative you guys are with the extra stuff you put in your videos. The "Jun losing interest" with the purses was so amusing, and then he became alert once again for a cat! Yey stray cats!

[@SweetSinger789]

I wanna go to Japan even more now!

[@SweetSinger789]

Ice cream is "lyfe".

[@gaurimahajan8410]

me too :)

[@fiddlelab]

I have never related to anything more than Jun getting bored and following a cat.

[@toloezer]

I did the Portuguese-Brazil Subtitles! Awesome video! I've learned a lot of things when I was doing the translation haha.

[@Hug0Ne0]

French subtitles are also done!

[@ElGroggy]

J'ai fait quelques corrections notamment Kinako veut dire sauce de soja (Kinoko pour champignon). Sinon rien à redire. Vous pouvez sûrement voir mes corrections et approuver ou non. I did correct few especially the Kinako translation Soybeam (the previous one mistook it with Kinoko). Except from that, most of the previous translation it good. He/She can check on the ones I make and approuve of not.

[@Hug0Ne0]

Ah en effet, merci bien, j'ai pas fait attention du tout !

[@kemushichan]

04:19 ...forever nightmares XD

[@dazzlingpotatoes5797]

KemushiChan ロレッタ yeah😂 i was about to comment that too

[@vairiadracule]

i always love watching these kinds of videos, i love learning about japan and planning for my future trips. Thank you Rachel and Jun!

[@nossr50]

Jun your accent has gotten so good lately, almost sound like a native english speaker at parts

[@orionsky]

This video is super fun to watch. Glad you guys had a good time.

[@scoutreeve]

this is so well edited and just a lovely video! your videos are like an inexpensive way to experience real japanese culture and places, i adore them ♥

[@mariwong-kure8299]

ok ive been bingeing u guys' channel and im in love with u guys. i love ur travel vlogs

[@ElGroggy]

4 and half years I lived in Mie Prefecture, I have been to Ise Shrine more than 5 times. It is really a treat to be there, to feel the peace and the nature in this place. Thank you for sharing this place, it deserves it. I feel sad to see many tourists go from Nagoya to Kyoto and not even stop by Ise to visit the most sacred Jinja of Japan

[@DaveTrippin]

What a beautiful place. Thanks for the video guys. Great stuff.

[@EnvisageIt]

Sooo beautiful. Added to my list "of must see before I die". Love the umbrella!!

[@aliatk]

i love watching your trips you two are so unique.. explaining, filming and editing is perfect and relaxing

[@mostlysky55]

Totally enjoyed watching your adventures shopping, eating ice cream, etc. I want one of those umbrellas!

[@AnchorOfSin94]

I love watching these videos, it's so nice to see all the awesome places in Japan! :) I just realized yesterday that I've been watching your videos for over 4 years now, which is crazy as I usually never follow any youtuber for such a long time. Your videos are definitely my favorite thing to watch at the moment! :) Keep up the awesome work; greetings from Germany :)

[@akumamakima2280]

omg this is by far the most attractive vid I've seen about Japan. I wanna go there just watching this omg

[@michellehenriques9164]

I'm trying to plan my trip to Japan for next year so this is a nice video to see. Thank you.

[@Matthewjohnwilson]

I love these travel videos, thanks for sharing, its like a mini vacation from the house while I watch.

[@bellaxfatal]

If I ever get go to Japan, this place will be on my must see list. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. Can't wait to see your next video!

[@SmoshAnthonyLover]

I love these videos! They are so fun and beautiful and I've out this on my list of places to visit in Japan!

[@slightly3057]

I love the editing in this video, really feel like you guys' skills are getting better and better!

[@KasumiKrissTV1]

This was a lot of fun to watch :)!

[@mikuenthusiast]

Your living my dream. I've always wanted to come to Japan, and I'm finally going next year. Thank you for teaching me so much.

[@martina5850]

Thank you for all this videos about prefectures and cities in Japan! They are so interesting!

[@Kae.the.Selkie]

Awesome video! The bit with the map and going into "street view" was really great!

[@nellyjica4730]

I really loved this video. I like the editing a lot this way. All the little sound effects and speed ups and cut-aways were everything. I know it probably takes longer to edit adding all that stuff but I think it makes your videos funnier and more entertaining than most other jvlogs. Keep going! And p.s. I started getting into jvlogs because of a random video of you guys years ago. Love you guys!

[@RachelandJun]

I had a ton of fun editing this video! :D Thank you so much!

[@silviemonk5556]

That place is so beautiful. Thanks for showing it to us. Plus, I miss the rain so much (sorry, but I'm so glad it rained on your trip. It gave the video a really nice light, and made me feel calm and happy).

[@melonlord5476]

I love that Jun just disappears halfway through the video to chase after a cat xD

[@xSilverKingYT]

Really cool video as always, I really enjoy them. Your videos seem to be a refreshing variety of the typical KZbin vlogs! I really appreciate your work

[@HikariPaintsTheStars]

i love your guys' vlogs! you give great advice and get cool shots :)

[@notmine914]

The transition from place to place was so cool! Love this video, you two! 😍

[@Yusakuo]

Beautiful shots of the area! I have to visit there sometime soon.

[@Aki-hono_13]

I visited it, it was so wonderful, mind blowing. One of my best memories in japan because it was so calm and relaxing ! Okage Yokocho was really great too, I was also very much impressed by the wood sculpture in the shop (plus the man is super kind)

[@smittenmitten4080]

So glad I got here early. I love your videos, they really give a great insight to what Japan is like. Hopefully I will be there next year to experience this too :)

[@RachelandJun]

Yay, I'm glad you enjoy them! I'm sure you'll have an amazing time when you get here! :D

[@funstersg]

Thank you! this video came just in time as I'm planning to drop by Ise for 1 day this coming October :D :D :D

[@kakao-katze]

It's amazing how much I resonate with Japan's traditional architecture and geography, especially their forests and mountains. I'm just looking at these places and dreaming of visiting in my gap year travels in 4 years. I'm sure my country will be able to visit Japan by then, so I'm really excited! I'm sure they'll appreciate extra income from travellers! Great video, guys.

[@Thunderbolt22A10]

I love that there's a MGS sound effect when Jun sees the cat

[@Tsumerae]

Ise City is on my bucket list!!! I did a school project on the area when I was in post secondary and have wanted to go ever since. I'm really glad you guys did a video highlighting it. :3

[@kip4771]

That channel give me more and more interest to Japan, I really want to go there when I grow up

[@rimahammo7118]

The ice cream part always puts a smile on my face! I go back to this video all the time just to rewatch it

[@SplendidDIY]

the umbrella and bag trick was SO COOOL!💜💜

[@princesspeacock]

I went Ise by myself in January this year and I have to say it is the most beautiful place in Japan I have visited so far. Delicious food, amazing scenery, wonderful hospitality~ Glad you guys managed to explore magical Ise as well. :)

[@heatherbanyay]

what a great video! This place looks wonderful and that ice cream😻

[@chouavue12]

your adventures together are totally awesome! keep it up guys! :)

[@wendy54321]

Love Love Love this video! Thank you for taking us(subs) with you. 😊😊😊😊😊😊🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞👱👱👱👱👱💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💖💖💖💖💖

[@NaTatsuDays]

Hello Rachel and Jun! Lovely video. Me, my husband and his parents go to Ise jingu every year. It's like a tradition for us. Such a pretty place. :)

[@iamamandazee]

I am new subscriber of yours and I have to say that I absolutely love your videos. I would love to visit or even live in Japan one day. Your videos give great insight on what it's like. I currently live in Florida and its nice but I'd love a change of scenery.

[@lesathie6604]

I just love this video!!! You, guys seems are having so much fun... I wanna know this place and enjoy everything too...

[@Kanji08]

I always wanted to go to Ise Jingu Naiku before coming to Japan. I had the opportunity to visit a few months ago...Such a great video, as always. :)

[@lukerichardson2715]

This was great, best way to start the week here in Texas thank you.

[@Pellaaearien]

I'm literally just taking notes on all of these and I'll visit them all once I move to Japan at the end of the month!!

[@andtherezmary]

I love these types of videos! Thank yoou 💕🎊🎉

[@Miina87]

It really cool that most of the stores the packaging and displaying of the products is so neat and looks professional. And even the ice cream omg! xD I love to go there someday.

[@DiaMortensen]

My wife and I were just in Ise the other day on a sort-of-whim. Walking around I couldn’t help thinking I’d seen a lot of it before. Then I remembered I saw it here. So I watched it again to compare notes. Looks Ike you missed out going in the water and eating Matsusaka sushi, which was amazing. You’ll be happy to know what appears to be the same cat is alive and well, wondering the street still.

[@CamSiv996]

The places you go, the landmarks, the animals, food, are interesting. Rachel and Jun, you two are a great couple for traveling to japan.

[@placebo6956]

You guys have gotten really good at editing and the picture quality is really good in this video :)

[@neena18]

Omg Chris' laugh is so contagious! Another job well done with this video~

[@johncoleman1930]

that places looked super cool I love these videos

[@snitcheyes411]

Awww, I wanna go so so so so bad! Where I live we have lots of old-timey street fairs like this, where they sell local candy in strange flavors, cute knick-knacks, and local art. I love them! So this is just the right blend of foreign and familiar to me.

[@johnegbertectobiologist2558]

another incredible video! super cute and well done :)

[@chelsea2378]

im going to ise next week for summer vacation, so excited :3

[@hhkwas]

My home country in Japan! I have heard of it and been to it. The koi fish waters seem not too shallow, but if you look closely, it is insanely deep.

[@hikarumorooka2360]

Wow, I'm from Mie prefecture! Thanks for introducing this shrine! You made me wanna visit there again :) 三重県楽しめてそうで、何よりです！

[@PDG-zc5bh]

Omg those umbrella are so cute and awesome ! I want one 😍

[@aozoraaaa]

love this vlog! i'm hoping to visit ise on my next vacation so this was really nice to see ^O^ definitely want to check out okage yokocho ^^ i have the umbrella but in purple, too!!

[@wendyburkhouse4174]

Thanks for sharing your videos. I'll probably never get to visit Japan but through your video's...I get to see some of the sights. Are all the streets so clean in Japan??? Everything is so clean and neat and all the shop owners are so kind and happy.

[@Ikimasho]

Okage Yokocho is so cool !!! Thank you for this video ! I love you

[@gaybug555]

I love your videos so much! ^^ 💕

[@Sarah-ot6ot]

The umbrellas are so cool *-* I've got me one while I was in Nara and I'm still super happy, when the pattern appears. I just love your videos so much, thanks to you two I have a list of places I really want to go to - but so little time...

[@SamiSpoon]

This place looks like so much fun!

[@SolitaryGrayWolf]

wow, I never thought of doing that with an umbrella, putting the bags on it so you can still carry the umbrella. Very cool idea! The ones that have the designs show up in the rain are awesome!

[@Lavendelblauen]

Those ice creams looked so delicious...and cute! 😋🍦💖

[@tigerqueen007]

I love the umbrellas, too. They are just so cute.

[@spacecavy]

Loving the effects you added to this video, especially the Google maps one!

[@FruitBatsLyra]

What an awesome place! I love watching where you guys go so that I can get an idea of the amazing places to visit for my own trip~!

[@moonstonepearl21]

Also, that doggie was so cute and looked so sweet! It's great her owner cares so much about her.

[@seeleschneider8896]

I would looooooooooove to visit that shrine and city. And this video had me cracking up haha

[@michelest-denis4392]

It's amazing to see you advertising Ise! I've been living in Ise for a year now, and most people don't know anything about it!

[@haasi2430]

Awesome video, guys! The editing is fantastic!! Normally one doesn't really notice the way a video is edited unless it somehow doesn't work but with this one you were so creative I can only imagine how much thought and time and heart went into it. I love it..... Needless to say, the content is funny and interesting as well. I especially enjoyed the "losing interest...almost asleep... !!cat!! ohmygodcat !!"-part ;D haha

[@HomesteadHounds]

I can't wait to be able to travel to Japan. Okage Yokocho looks so cute!
