I see this and want to vlog at JAPAN AGAIN! I miss so much!!!

[@Sakura_gaoo]

So do I, and our Gaoomunity also ! 🥰 I dare you to give a little shout-out to Rion from your channel 😛

[@aya-san119]

極寒の中、素敵な兼六園動画をありがとうございます🙏大阪から結構遠い事に驚きました🚈💨車窓からの雪景色が本当に素敵でした☃️（まぁRionさん途中寝落ちしたけど…ね😂）次回作も楽しみです‼️体調気をつけて、ゆっくり休んで下さい‼️

[@24marcg24]

I noticed rion left his cell phone on the ticket counter and I thought for sure it was going to be an issue but obviously I was wrong! Phew! Crisis averted! Thanks for another fun video I always look forward to them! Keep up the good work my friend!

It is not by chance that rain stops and the sun shines when Mr Rion Ishida shows himself outside. 😎👍

Loved Kanazawa when we visited!

[@22s22a]

I literally just got back from there..wow.. that snow was crazy and beautiful

[@residentspirit6023]

For the Osaka-Kanazawa-Tokyo area by rail, there is an alternative JR pass you can use, it is called the Hokuriku Arch Pass, and the Thunderbird and Hokuriku Shinkansen are included.. It’s cheaper than the Japan-wide JR Pass, ¥25,000 for One week unlimited pass, and you can see lots of places off the beaten path. I did this trip in August 2019 starting in Tokyo. Itoigawa, Kanazawa, Takaoka, Toyama, and Karuizawa with the major city centres on either end of course! Noto Peninsula, Amaharashi and Kurobe Gorge are also along this northern route and worth a proper explore on the smaller local JR lines. Just one week to explore this section of the northern coast is not enough!

[@Normal-Person]

Love the timelapse.

[@bb502cid]

Kanazawa Station looks amazing!!

[@bentea1229]

Thanks for your videos. I am doing research to visit Japan and this really helps.

[@nolisarmiento1719]

Kanazawa...still my favorite city in Japan

[@robertdailey7248]

When I lived in Japan, I visited Notou-hantou out of curiosity. It was like going back in time 50 years. People there were great. I drank too much at a bar one night, and the police drove me back to my minshuku.

[@treasurechest1993]

The gardens are very beautiful in April with the sakura and plums flowering . The best food in Kanazawa is Platt Home. A hidden gem. One of my favourite cities.

[@MrSurfingbudha]

You had me laughing at your explanation of a spork.. your reaction was epic!

[@mvccarlos]

The curry rice looks yum and it looks happy to see you😁

[@pixiemixie267]

Omg the snow was so pretty! Thanks for sharing Rion! Have a great day 😊

[@senorita_gita]

Thank you for another exciting and helpful video Rion. You are living my dream :-D Looking forward to seeing your next video. Perhaps you can take us shopping?

[@sallyannestooke6063]

Oh Rion, what a wonderful place, りっぱ です. I really want to visit now. Enjoy your stay.💕😊💕

[@mojojowan]

Thank you for bringing us and for introducing one of the "hidden gems" in Japan. I heard the place name before but I have a zero knowledge on what I'm going to see there 😅 I can't wait for the part 2 of this trip and for your upcoming trips as well.😃 Also, thank you for always spoiling us with the time lapse clips at the end of your videos. This time, you captured a lovely sunset time lapse and I'm still in awe ♥Take care always and keep up the good work! God bless you always! 😄

[@RionIshida]

🦁🎉👍

[@jameslawrence9865]

My wife and I truly enjoyed Kanazawa. We tried to book the same hotel where he did stay, but ended at the Square Hotel. It was really amazing. We toured the castle grounds and the gardens. I went by myself to the Nomura Samurai house. Everything was very close and we both enjoyed ourselves. I hope you can go soon.

[@comontoshi]

I liked the trashy inoishi 👍👍 Thanks for the tour.

[@cherriemay528]

Rion with no sense of timing is so me in some way😂

[@paulkim0710]

Thanks to you, who always smiles and travels, even though I can't go now, I feel like I'm traveling to Japan, which I always miss. Thank you.

I spend about 5 days in kanawaza 4 years ago I really loved how easy it was to get around and the castle and it’s gardens were beautiful, they opened it at night and did a light show which was excellent. Love to go back one day

[@melaranas5243]

So nice to see Kanazawa in winter. It is nearly 3 years ago I have visit Kanazawa. I really miss the time travelling.

[@johnyguitar8859]

WoW! I love Japanese culture so much! Amazing adventure as always

[@chunkytanker7365]

Brilliant video as always and the food food looked amazing

[@residentspirit6023]

Kenrokuen Gardens and Kanazawa Castle are also free to enter in the morning before visitor hours start, which is 7am! Hopefully this is useful for someone

[@ksenijacizek5901]

Hi, Rion, congratulatios for catching the train for Kanazawa. It seems that you have trained it to perfection. Anyhow, thanks for your endeavor to tavel even under current circumstances, although fortunatdly only few passenger on train. I was impressed by an original station design as well as lovely and peaceful park. By the way this video was interesting as always because whatever you do just cannot be boring. I am eager to watch the next one. Keep being yourself, stay safe and healthy! Kind regards from Zagreb, Croatia.

[@ClubMonchhichi]

We love that "Spork" blew your mind!

[@tooney3935]

Can you do a livestream inside the park? Love Japanese gardens.

[@janapokorna3142]

Seems like a fun journey! I am looking forward to more videos from Kanazawa! And the street food and everything. Thank you again for the great video. 😊

[@jamgomez4438]

Hi rion nice room hotel , and the view is beautiful good job rion to fine that hotel , take care 💕💕💕

[@raymartbalagtas1197]

Hey you’re really good in English! I like your vlogs. Anyways thank you for your vlogs about Japan. I worked there for two years and I already miss it a lot. ❤️

[@tns-rox]

Loved the park in Kanazawa, Rion. Arigatougozaimashita for introducing me to this beautiful city. I want to visit there one day. 👍

[@RionIshida]

Doitashimashite! Kenrokuen really beautiful place😆

[@worldcomicsreview354]

Kanazawa punches well above it's weight, tourism wise. As well as the park there's the grounds of a castle (part of it has been rebuilt in modern times, but using traditional methods. Unlike, say, Osaka castle, which has lifts in it!), a reconstructed boat house next to another beautiful garden, an art gallery with a famous "fake swimming pool" (not always open, unfortunately) and three preserved entertainment districts that survived wartime fireboming. There's also the "Ninja temple", which is not actually related to ninja. It's essentially a second castle, disguised as a temple, and is also the original structure. And for more specific interests there's the phonograph museum, with loads of old clockwork gramophones, including some Victrola Credenzas, which were some of the most expensive home entertainment equipment of their day.

[@tns-rox]

@@worldcomicsreview354 Thanks for the city descriptions! They're much appreciated. Makes me want to visit there even more.

[@kaycem]

according to wikipedia, "spork" (the word, not the utensil) was first coined by just some random guy: "In 1951, Hyde W. Ballard of Westtown, Pennsylvania filed an application with the United States Patent Office ... to register 'Spork' as a trademark for a combination spoon and fork made of stainless steel."

[@jupiter1722]

Thank you so much 😊

[@lenastina4876]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@muybolero3575]

Hey, Rion! Nice video! May I ask what camera holder are you using that I saw in your hotel window? I’m searching to get one for myself. Arigatou

[@clozzian1272]

Gosh!! I miss this place so much!!! it is the part of my first time visit in Japan when i was doing my robotics research here!!>< Thanks Rion for bringing me back all the memories.

[@deshungrant31]

[@papabenny0]

It's Kanazawa (you keep saying Kanagawa) 😂 btw been there twice and I loved it.

[@qhuizatlantis8484]

Can't wait to solo travel again! God give me a travel bud

[@jessicaarttans4415]

I studied in Kanazawa for two months and it's such a lovely place to live. I really enjoyed my time there. It's a small town but has everything in it, and people there are so friendly and kind. Thank you for sharing this experience with me! I can't wait to visit Kanazawa again :)

[@reach2prasanna]

You're so lucky to have spent time there. I wish to visit Japan soon.

[@TF2OG]

It was worth the 5 minutes of seeing the park with snow

[@cindycindy3067]

Thanks rion, it's makes me remember my trip to kanazawa because i really want to see the station gate and go to the 21st museum 😂 kanazawa is a beautiful city and hopefully i can go back there!

[@etherdog]

Cool time lapse at the end, Rion! I hope you don't get sucked in to have any gold on your food when you are there because it has no flavor--it is only for show. Kanazawa is like a little sister to Kyoto in its old town area, but without as many tourists. It would be interesting to hear your comparison.

[@marcoboi2020]

more more! 👌

[@readysetsleep]

That's so cool you rode the Thunderbird I passed the Thuderbird on the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tsuruga. I went to Obama too which was a really fun city to visit. Glad you are exploring the West Coast of Japan. You need to explore more places that foreign tourist don't go too often.
