[@wren23_bass-synths]

When I lived in Japan (Tokyo and Kyoto) it was easy for me to get a 3 year twice.. I lived there for 6 years. I loved taking trips to Osaka,Fukuoka,Nagoya and Hiroshima for prayers. Sometimes I wish I never left and stayed there.

[@reinascully]

@@wren23_bass-synths did you have a work visa sponsored by your company? I think that may be why!

[@wren23_bass-synths]

@@reinascully actually yes I did. Maybe that’s why it so was easy.

[@lukebaldwin3335]

I have never been to Japan I don't speak it I have always wanted to so I felt I should learn at least a little before going there so right now I'm just living and doing me what would you say would be the most important thing to learn before going to Japan ?

[@reinascully]

@@wren23_bass-synths that makes sense! It’s a bit harder (also criteria is purposefully unknown) for Japanese spousal based residency visas.

enjoy every moment with your moms, my friends. wish them both a happy mother's day for me. my mom died on saturday april the 24th 2021. my heart is completely destroyed.

[@reinascully]

I am so deeply sorry for your loss... I know some reply text on a screen from a stranger doesn’t do anything, but I am so sorry. My heart aches for you and your family and I hope in time you heal together knowing that your mother is watching over you lovingly. I’m still in pain over the loss of my stepdad a few years ago and I cry over him, but it has gotten slightly easier in a way where I generally only remember the rosy wonderful times I had with him. It’s never easy, but it will get better little by little over time. My thoughts are with you and your family.

[@joe3019772008]

@@reinascully thank you from the bottom of my broken heart, my old friend. never think of yourself as a stranger, you showed me support when i was still posting my videos on here. i will always continue to do the same for you. my mom used to watch some of your vlogs. she said one day she would have loved to have gone back to japan again cause she used to travel all over world when she attended lots of doll conventions and toy shows. she always told me how proud she was of me. just thinking about her now. makes it hurt more. thank you for your kind words and love and support, Reina. be sure to give your mom a big hugs for the both of us and wish her happy mother's day for me as well. may the force and god's love be with you and yours always , my friend.

i visited my friend Nozomi in Sakura, Tochigi in autumn 2019 and it was sooo beautiful!! We ventured to the outskirts of the small town and it felt super peaceful 😌

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

I love and HIGHLY recommend the countryside between Osaka and Okayama, various places on the local JR train lines look like something out of Totoro, those sharp valleys. Beautiful!❤❤❤

[@cosporcos]

8:31 Reina low key tells Mike she wants a kid soon... Mike's shuts her down sooo fast! poor Reina

[@reinascully]

Actually he’s the one that wants kids 😂 I’m too immature

[@ltcinsane]

@@reinascully But being immature would mean you'd have the right mindset to get on with any kid Reina! :P

[@mixestomix]

I've been to Iwami in Tottori three times for a pilgrimage to visit the locations from Free! and the town are really proud to be the inspiration for it. The grandpas and grandmas are adorable. They always help me out and walk me to the locations even though I tell them it's alright and I don't want them to walk far. The local bakery also makes breads and cookies inspired by Free! and the owners remember me too. Its a really nice, sweet and calming place to be. I can't wait to go back.

[@Alfiewow]

That little Kate Spade bag is sooo cute

[@jayna3721]

I was thinking the same, I'm gonna look for a similar sized one for my wife for her birthday

[@sdsith]

I am so grateful for this video! Shizuoka is actually a sister city of my city and one of the places in Japan I want to visit most! Thank you for this look into the area!

[@Hogan231]

I still want to go to Japan.

UGH I KNOoOoOoOoOW 😬😅🤣

[@davdidit6]

@@reinascully so cute. I think it is part of the human condition and international law, that you have to buy something when visiting an outlet mall.

[@excll808]

The first time I went to Japan it was the beginning of June but still super cold in Tokyo. My friend and I spent and hour walking around looking for a vending machine that had warm drinks. She thought I was making it up so that motivated me even more to find one. Sadly we didn't find one that night. Settled for a 7-11 that had. However the next day we did find one outside of a train station in Odaiba!

[@lucielquinn6489]

5:20 I used to live in Gotemba and went to School in Mishima so I ACTUALLY SCREAMED when I saw you went to the outlet!! I've been there so many times with my family and friends, and this just gave me such a big wave of nostalgia it's crazy :')))

[@SilentChaos15]

Konnichiwa Reina! Thank you for the post. Glad that Mike has his new residency even if it is one year.

[@lughus7714]

Went to Fukushima in 2013 and have been trying to get things lined up to move there since getting back.

[@SuzuStarlight]

Former resident of Shizuoka city here! I've checked out a handful of your videos because youtube recommended them to me and thankfully, this one also landed on my feed. Even though you didn't show a lot, it was super exciting to see glimpses of the city again after all those years of not being able to return (was planning to finally visit again last year and then the Rona happened...). Cenova was pretty much my go to place for my year abroad, I went there almost everyday, to shop, to eat or to watch movies, so that part of the video was oddly emotional 😂 I also remember going to Gotemba once (I think it was during a trip to Izu?) and I actually happen to be a Pokemon Store enthusiast too! I still have my little acrylic charm Fujisan Pikachu, even though one ear sadly broke a few years ago. Coming from a small village in Germany, Shizuoka never felt that rural to me 😂 But I did use every chance to do something, so maybe that's why it never got boring. We also used to also go to the nearby towns and cities sometimes, like Fujinomiya, Kakegawa and Hamamatsu and I still have so much to see within the prefecture alone when I can finally go back! So thanks so much for this little insight into my former home these days ❤️ Hope your family enjoys their presents, they're all super pretty. And also, gotta love that Pokemon merch, I also own some Pokemon center kitchenware, the designs are just ridiculously cute!

[@reinascully]

That’s dope that you used to live in Shizuoka!!! Thank you for watching and commenting. ALSO I have the EXACT Pikachu fujisan acrylic you’re talking about and the ear broke off of mine, too!!!! 🥲😅😂

[@Tetsou18]

I enjoyed the video, Reina; I always enjoy your videos, you have a delightful personality. I love your glasses, also. And, yeah, that pokemon "handkerchief" is really cute; it'll look even cuter with your snot all over it. I was stationed in Okinawa for a year and a half in the early 2000s. I liked the Okinawa, in retrospect, I wish I explored more. Also, went to the aquarium in Sasebo on a liberty day from a naval ship, and bar hopping, which was my first time getting drunk. Good times.

[@stephensommers4628]

Hope you are your family are staying healthy Reina. I heard cases are rising in Japan. Stay safe.

[@reinascully]

Thank you! Our prefecture is faring pretty well, so we are all okay 💛 Just frustrating how slow vaccines are going here 😭

[@stephensommers4628]

[@Singmelodyparadise]

I lived in Wazuka Japan, the countryside of Kyoto. I was staying at a Japanese tea farm for six months. It was a leisure to visit Kyoto, Osaka, or Nara. :)

[@reinascully]

That sounds absolutely incredible!

I have been to Inuyama and Nagoya.

[@akashanil4540]

I got a job in Shizuoka prefecture but due to covid it has been sadly postponed. It was nice to see a vid of this prefecture though.

have fun Reina.

[@repHAWAIIxJPN]

First of I appreciate you pronouncing "poke" correctly (I don't get how so many people say it wrong) but besides that I'm surprised that Pacific Cafe even had a Loco Moco 😱 being from Hawaii I can confirm that at least from the displays it all looked legit 👌 Interesting that the Loco Moco came with fries , I can get with that though cause it'd go good with the gravy

[@refebure]

How lovely! Thank you so much for this! 田舎が本当に好きです。 As a Puerto Rican living smack dab in the middle of Texas I really, REALLY miss mountains and the countryside (;___;) Far away mountains with tiny little house lights... I miss that so much, how silly 😂

[@H34rtLikeDavid]

Yo, I feel you! Been stuck on the east coast for the past 10 years after growing up in the foothills of the Appalachians in Georgia. I miss the mountains!

[@seanrush3723]

Reinerrrrrrrr! It looks stunning over there. In an Asian History class the partner I was assigned to projects with had said he skipped out on going to Japan because the food was bad. I was a bit flabbergasted because the food is easily one of the top reasons I want to visit

[@silkymochi]

Love this relaxing vlog! Sorry Mike only got the one year card :( Also what is the lip color are you wearing? It's so pretty!

[@Luvutoo]

This makes me miss visiting family in Kochi

[@PeacefulPagoda]

Hey Reina, I bought the UA sports mask, but with The Rock's branding (and more expensive lol). It's cool, but I kind of hate the ear loops. They're such thin fabric, and they tend to roll up on themselves, if that makes sense. And it sits fairly low on my nose. I'd say really, really look into the sizing if you want one--I had to have a bigger size sent to me. The actual mask portion is pretty good.

[@reinascully]

Honestly what a good review of these masks! Thank you for the info!!! I was kinda regretting not getting them until now 😬😌

[@PeacefulPagoda]

@@reinascully You're welcome, happy to help haha

Omg that Pokemon-Mimosa collection, i can't! Also completely feeling with you on the Visa thing for Mike. I live abroad in South Asia since 7 years and the first 4 years I had to extend my Visa every... single... year... too until they finally gave me my permanent card. so much paperwork and anxiety to go through until then! Hope Mike gets his 3 year card next time!

[@MinusNoir]

I'm a hardcore Silent Hill (2) fan so I must love Shizuoka!

[@NinjaWolfess]

Hey Reina, can you set something straight for me? Your adorable dress at 16:17, is it okay to wear spaghetti strap things on their own, or is that not modest enough?

[@reinascully]

Ah, it’s probably totally fine in Tokyo but something like this would be judged hard in my area / countryside. I would wear a top with this 😌

[@gksaito]

Reina I would love to see some of these lovely sceneries in 4K!!! I noticed you only upload your videos on 1080p. Do you have plans to upgrade your gear to 4K? I really love to see the landscapes and mountains in Japan. A long time ago I spent a few days in Sapporo, where my Grandfather came from. His siblings were still alive at the time and Nothern Japan was so beautiful!!!

[@OhadLutzky]

My reaction to the choco mint thing was the same except for the "wait it's not bad" bits. It was too much. (rest of the box was great though!)

[@SilentChaos15]

I don't know what going rate for masks are in Japan but in the US, licensed and unlicensed masks tend to go for about $10 USD. Regular masks can be a few dollars less and of course disposables are like $20 for a 50 pack. I get the feeling since masks aren't a traditionally normal thing they tend to charge more. Fancy ones that are higher quality with bells and whistles are about $25.

[@lucasgalarraga8]

Not yet. I want to go back so badly as well

[@WIImotionmasher]

Sorry to say, theres more adults at the pokemon center because kids (even in japan I suspect) probably arent quite as jazzed about pokemon as 20 - 30some year olds. Because pokemon came out over 20 years ago its for middle aged people....

did the vending machine just speak in chinese (or did i mishear)?? is it common for services to be in chinese in japan? :O

[@reinascully]

I think the announcements were just going off at the same time, the outlet plaza runs announcements in Japanese, English, and Chinese 😊 In city areas that are known to be international (like Chinatown in Yokohama) a lot of signage and services are offered in multiple languages

If Mike reads this, you have a very beautiful and funny wife. You are lucky to have someone like her. I wish I had a wife just like Reina. Someone who loves anime/manga, comics, and action movies. I lost my wife to drugs. She still lives. But I lost a person I thought would be with me for the rest of our lives. I have been so lonely for the past 5+ years. I have been sad because of it and depressed. It hurts being alone.
