I really dig this witty side of you! I'm disabled so I couldn't do anything that you are doing. But you give me a chance to kind of tag along for the ride!! I really appreciate the way you do it. It's like an interactive experience that you are inviting us to take.

I'm sure you know it all, the accommodations people will make for you especially in America are endless. you might even be able to take a robot from home on a plane?

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

Gordon I agree, I’m disabled too, but I’m quite happy to go on an adventure with someone & their camera 😀 Especially because this channel is calming and quiet, I can’t watch people who screech or are hyper. If I want hyper I can have 3 Haribo jellies or worse…eat something blue 😂

I just love that you don't talk, and we can really get the atmosphere of your trips. You do have a sense of humor. Thanks so much for doing these. I will probably never get to see Japan, so this gives me a way to experience it. And it's become addictive!

[@kodyhusted4517]

I just have to say that I really look forward to your videos!! I am bed bound, and I have always wanted to travel to Japan. I'm able to watch them on my television so it really feels like I'm traveling vicariously through you! Keep on doing what you're doing, and thank you for doing this :)

[@InnovationTree]

These videos are relaxing to watch and give me insight to Japan. It feels like I’m traveling myself! I really like how you don’t talk during the videos as it allows me to experience the travel on my own interpretation. This is a great way to travel virtually! The food is fascinating to look at and looks very delicious. Thank you for your videos! Longer video shots of the scenic places are nice to enjoy.

[@yangrangqing4100]

I’ve never been to JP before and barely recognize any of the cities mentioned in your videos, but your channel really helped me copping thru the quarantine period, i love traveling and I miss the on-the-move aspect of it so much, I feel like I’m traveling in JP whenever I was watching your video

[@jteal6251]

Thank you for these videos! Each one is a perfect little jewel. I suspect much research behind each. You have a very good eye for what people in other countries will find surprising, interesting and enchanting. An old woman in California loves your videos.

I absolutely love these videos. The gentle humor and informative presentation is *chef's kiss*. Someday when I can visit Japan (hopefully in a few years or sooner) I want to ride ALL THE TRAINS. Perhaps it's strange to have a main excitement be the transportation but I think it's in my top 4 most anticipated activities (along with food, hot springs/baths, and national parks).

@@fbxn There is an urban legend that back during the 1960s, the US Government accidentally legalized marijuana for a day, and it was April 20th, or 4-20, so now the time of 4:20, be it AM or PM is supposed to be party time.
