Road Trip to Japan's Healing Nature in Chiba // Ep. 30

I have a confession...I don't live in Tokyo, but I've explored Tokyo enough to the point where it's driving me crazy! So, we set out to get some forest bathing into our routine while it's still warm. I didn't know I needed it so badly until we hiked up Nokogiriyama: a tall mountain full of forest medicine brought by both Kannon and Buddha. Explore with us and discover what nature can really do for you!

When I'm in nature (which I do as often as I can) my whole body starts to relax and I begin to feel connected to nature. It truly is healing.

[@d.m.walker7548]

I'm so happy that you have both found each other. You seem so happy and loving towards each other. May you have a wonderful life together and lots of love and joy. Peace!!!

[@alexandrarachel29]

I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and my family had a cottage built by my great grandfather in Hale, Michigan. We’d go up every summer to visit and along the way we would stop and spend a night in Frankenmuth! I was so excited when you mentioned Michigan’s “German town” since it was such a big part of my childhood! I love your videos and they continue to inspire me as I try to find my way through my mid 20s. Hopefully one day I’ll finally be able to visit Japan!

[@MultiPuddingpie]

I currently live in Osaka with my Japanese boyfriend😊 We both really want to go on a trip soon, so I love watching your video! So relaxing😌 We love nature and this looks like a beautiful spot to visit💕 Maybe I’ll make a video when we go on our trip🤔

Hi, Kelly! I’m Aya, a Japanese girl who used to live in LA and now back in Tokyo for good. I have an American friend who loves Japan just like yourself and every time I watch your channel, it reminds me of her! I struggled so much when I moved to LA for the first time, because I couldn’t speak English at all and I feel like we have so much in common! I wish I could meet up with you and talk over coffee someday💜 Love your channel😊💖

[@lynnnguyen3517]

Thank you for sharing. Opened my eyes to cherish and take in nature for a peaceful mind and body.

[@astoldbykat]

I've been living in Seoul for 3 years, and any time I need to relax and recooperate, I head to Busan to enjoy the sea air and the beautiful nature. I can agree with you: nature is the best medicine. I'm so glad to see you so happy in this video; I can tell the difference from some of your videos in the past year, and it's amazing to see. I hope your happiness only continues to grow! :)

[@sarahdunn4060]

Being near the sea and breathing in that sea air is so incredibly therapeutic! I always feel lucky that I live so close to it and that I'm able to go there and just center myself whenever I need it. These mountains are absolutely stunning with the sea right there beside them

[@KellyMorita]

Thanks! It was beautiful!

[@LadyRaven1316]

I won't be able to visit until my boys are grown, but your videos teach me so much about the culture & what I can expect. Thanks Kelly! Keep up the great videos!!!

[@johnree6106]

True nature is healing. Today with many people in cities get sick while those in rural areas are more healthy. I'm not sure all the reasons but even having plants is healing. You might want to get one as I didn't notice any. From planting to watching it grow has helped me. In fact you could grow your herbs you use for cooking and not only feel better but also eat better.

[@shytealatte2251]

I loved this! Been watching your videos for a couple of years and it’s very cool to see so much growth in your own happiness and as a content creator. Love love love the energy you two bring to one another

[@stacyedwards3395]

I got a degree in parks and recreation and we had entire classes on forest bathing and the benefits nature has for people! There’s actually a few doctors who are prescribing to patients to spend a certain amount of time outside each day!

[@EsmaTabak55]

Here in Northern California I go hiking every weekend. It is fascinating how amazing I feel after spending couple of hours in nature. This weekend it will rain (finally), but we are still going :)

[@halvielfrass9325]

I really, really loved this video.....the scenery is beautiful , thanks. The stairs part remained me of my trip to the isle of Capri I had the same experience climbing my way back to the cableway, but it was worth it. Happy Thanksgiving!!! 😍😍

[@KellyMorita]

Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@EnderGirle]

Finally! I´ve been very excited about this video ever since you posted asking if 30min was too long. I definitely isn´t

[@KellyMorita]

I’m glad! I was worried!

[@OllamhDrab]

@@KellyMorita There was no reason to be worried, since it's actually packed with content, especially. (I mean, if you'd wanted to sit in front of a camera and expound on things, that would have been OK, too, worst someone'd do is go ahead and stop watching. :))

[@katierose9705]

Loved this video! You looked so joyful 😊

[@worldoftravels2020]

Really amazing video of the nature of Japan. Please make more videos like these. Wish you and Ryuz a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for watching!

[@DreamOfFireFlies]

I went to the German festival a few weeks Ago and was a bit disappointed. But partially because none of the activities were available to do by the time I arrived and partially because I’ve been to better illuminations. You should check out yomiuri lands one. It’s great and way better done!

[@Its-Kat_]

We live nearby lots of nature and ocean here in our area of Kanagawa! We're went for a hike close to our house! I cannot stand living in Tokyo, love it out here 😍

[@KellyMorita]

Ya I’m tired of Tokyo tbh we want to move to Nagoya or Fukuoka depending on job opportunities

[@p.herrmann4538]

that german village is the most ungerman thing i have ever seen xD

[@OllamhDrab]

Well, I think you found an area that's really good for you to be in. Kinda sorry to hear about the peanut allergy, though, those things they had on offer there really looked like something special. :) (I developed a shrimp allergy somewhere along the line, so I kinda knows how it feels when I see the tempura shrimp and stuff all over. :) The Japanese restaurants here in town rely heavily on shrimp cause it's really the best seafood around here. )

[@leongkenn]

Keep being awesome! Love your vlog.

Yes!

[@kiw8310]

Hi, I probably missed it on one of your videos but I wondered what part of Japan you live in?

[@mysticode]

I gotta check out these areas one day! I highly recommend you research free radicals more, as I believe you're incorrect in sources of them coming from technology.

Fantastic ❤

[@nadineh.5895]

Omg this lights are amazing!! But nothing GERMAN AT ALL😂 we don’t play songs on most of the xmas markets.... we have lights at the xmax market, but not THAT many. Japan is way better with chistmas lights:)) germany is kind a boring compared to japans lights:)

The fact that you like to swear is your prerogative and, although I consider it lazy writing, I do not mind it that much. The reason, however, that made me unsubscribe from your channel was your numerous and unrepentant blasphemies. Until you clean up your act, goodbye.

[@cherylmedeiros6287]

I notice you do a lot of disrespectful things like playing with your food and wanting to name the smaller Buddha. You got scolded for playing with your food and he told you NO at naming the Buddha. Haven't you been there long enough to know certain rights and wrongs? Also F*ck that? Come on you were talking healing and Zen.
