Trying on a Fancy 12 Layer Japanese Kimono 😍

[@Taylor_R]

You looked so pretty in the kimono & that food is amazing!!!

[@シロスケ-g8h]

I am Japanese. I always enjoy having a video. I am studying English to become a hotel man in the future. Your pronunciation of English is easy to hear, it is interesting and I love it so much. Thank you for like Japan, thank you for telling the people of the world about the charm of Japan through movies. If you are interested in Japan please do come and join us! It is a big welcome.

[@aliscarpu]

Sharla, I always appreciate your point of view. Your content and approach to youtube comes off as genuine, honest and professional while still keeping your perspective fresh and interesting. The fact that you actually speak Japanese and engage in the culture makes you a really unique and legitimate Japan v-loger. I especially admire how you're always so polite and humble when you travel. You seem to stay true to yourself with what you share and never have click-bate or seem concentrated on creating trending videos. I always know you will have solid content wether its on Sharla in Japan or Sharmander. Loved this video by the way! Hope you have a lovely fall. xo 💕🍂👌

[@heyitssharla]

Alison Scarpulla you are so sweet😭 Thank you for the kind comment☺️❤️

[@XSemperIdem5]

What a great way to sum up why I subscribed to her channels and keep watching older videos to attempt to catch up a bit.

[@Mintfaery]

This video was so great!!! I loved seeing all of the beauty of Biwa Lake and all of the food looked delicious omgggggg. I've always wanted to visit Biwa so this was so informative, thanks so much!!

[@jonathany.1515]

Another awesome travel video, you always look great in kimono!! Can’t wait for your Hokkaido videos!!

[@GiantParfait]

Gosh your make was so cute and not too over the top. Thanks for taking us with you! You looked great in kimono

[@Savannah0611]

I went to Otsu as well, but just for the omi jingu because I loved chihayafuru! It was gorgeous there and I bought some special merch they only sell there. Unfortunately it rained very hard, since I went in the rainy season. Going there was so worth it for the pretty shrine though

[@sunshinegalkw9675]

The dinner looked delicious! What a treat! You are a lucky lady!! Can’t wait to see what you have tomorrow!

[@haiku9]

Sharla you look so pretty in the kimono! I really hope one day I will be able to visit Japan. I think it would be a wonderful experience.

[@kawaiivikki]

Everything looked so beautiful! And so did you of course in the Kimono. 😊 The mochi looked so delicious! I love matcha flavor so I bet it would be really yummy to try.

[@LifeWithMrsB]

I love how they went all out on your food!! What a beautiful place

[@LettersfromJapan]

Love it! Otsu and the Lake Biwa area is a really great place to visit... (beautiful kimono!)

[@Starlightean]

Great video! It's great you're showing us many different things in one place kind of like a journey from how you see them.

[@whisperofspring]

I just woke up to this video and it already made my day. This place looks so beautiful, I'm considering visiting it when I finally go to japan!

[@gracesj01]

Thanks for coming to Shiga! I've seen lots of people say they want to visit now which is great. Anybody planning to come to this area though should definitely go further north too, Hikone (has a famous castle too) and Nagahama etc are really beautiful. I think the lake also tends to look a bit fresher the further north you are too. There's also beaches in the summer and skiing in the winter! Shiga has a lot to offer for everyone :)

[@niwaleaf]

This is so beautiful Sharla! You look lovely in the kimono! 💖💖💖

[@ShinyMia]

That looked like such a lovely trip. Wearing that kimono looks like such fun!

[@SandrineMH]

I'm living vicariously through you, hehe...nice video Sharla, those meals looked amazing 🍱💚

[@sweetarchangel6748]

Oh wow, the 12 layered kimono was so pretty and cheap too. I can only imagine how heavy it would have been. But probably super warm in the cold weather.

[@LadyOfTheFae]

What an amazing experience to wear such a intricate piece of art!!! 😍😍😍😍 you looked beautiful!!!

[@je_ss]

wow, everyone in japan love sharla, u get invited so many places allll over japan and i feel so lucky you share it with us

[@je_ss]

that matcha mochi is my dream omg!!! looks AMAZING!!

[@je_ss]

mmm goji berry in your salad yum those gojis look really nice!

[@je_ss]

sharla, i JUST made wheat gluten vegan "ribs" on the weekend and it was amazing! so its funny seeing them serve you wheat gluten. its a great alternative for fake meats, if ur not gluten free of course lol.

[@BootsAndPearls85]

Beautiful! Motorized bikes sound so awesome, what a great way to spend a day!

[@ufopsi]

Whenever there is a new Sharla video, I'm sooooo happy!

[@Evolve_with_jen]

I so love watching these videos. I learn so much and it’s so interesting to see the food

[@zigzagboom]

I really appreciate the subtitles Sharla! I saw the Konyaku and thought about the KZbinr Sushiramen that tried to chop some in half with his hands lol Such a beautiful area can't wait to see more~

[@janeljordan6997]

In 1981 I wore kimono to my senior prom! It took 5 hours to be dressed ! I'm an old lady now but it's one of my favorite memories of living in Japan!

[@SYama-xl4ko]

Looked lovely in that kimono. Awesome vlog as usual. Can't wait for vlog number 2! Take care

[@eunesslee]

omg i need to go here! 😍 thank you for sharing this - it makes travelling as a vegan to japan less daunting. so many delicious-looking food options! 😋

[@karisenpaii]

Those kimono are so pretty omg 😍😍 I can't believe it's so cheap, I'll totally put it on my list!!

[@stephanierestlessinseattle5261]

YAY new travel videos! I love them all but you shine when you explore.

[@dec25stephanie]

Beautiful the sights and everything really looks so stunning gorgeous! Thanks for always taking us along on your adventures to get a inside look! I'm always looking forward to your videos!

[@xaperdaily]

Love your videos, such amazing KZbinr and one of my favorite.. Will go to Japan one day it's the number 1 thing on my bucket list

[@samanthawelo9778]

You and Micaela have me convinced, Otsu City looks like a blast! :)

[@MarieLyster]

That's a really nice hotel :D and omg that mochi looks sooo tasty! *drools* I love how pretty they present food often in Japan

[@mizusenshisongs]

I've seen pictures of those 12-layered kimono but had no idea there were places you could try them on. So cool! That hotel is gorgeous!

[@amberlynmonroe]

Omg the shrine is so beautiful and the kimono too 😍😍😍

[@hannahlise9120]

I've been looking forward to this! I visited Omi Jingu but I had no idea there was a kimono experience on site! And I almost screamed when I saw Chihaya's hakama 😍 Looks like you had an amazing time! I've definitely gotta go back, especially for all that incredible looking food!

[@TaraShulerAuthor]

I had never heard of this city before, but now it's on my must-visit list when my husband and I visit Japan! The view from the hotel is to die for! Really excited to see Day 2!

[@Bri_King]

watching your videos makes me so excited to learn japanese!

[@isabelramirez6253]

it looks absolutely amazing! The food looks so yummy too.

[@angieg9065]

OMG I loved this! I wanna go! Can’t wait for part 2

[@amandaggogo]

I love watching these videos! It's like I can take a virtual trip there and see all the pretty sights and stuff until I have enough money to go there myself one day. I would LOVE to explore Japan someday.

[@gersonm2368]

Looks like so much fun!!

[@madz-n]

Sharla your videos keep making me hungry!!! XD That food looks so delicious!!!

[@mimistak]

Following you for about 8 years now ! This video and the newest in mountains saw us how beautiful a woman can be in her 30 !!!!

[@TheDanielblackwolf]

One of the best vloggers

[@rielamarcellis]

That chain carved in carrot was awesome, apparently you can make a big chain, not only a 3 link chain. Great video.

[@mandawerhun]

This looks amazing

[@yaminogame7805]

Ah I remember Biwa Lake :) I stayed with some friends there for a day once. They had a huge house near it!

[@studioghiblets958]

This is the town I did my homestay in! It's a really nice town to be at!

[@rachelruthfrankle3905]

Wonderful video planning on going to Japan next year with my mum

[@SarahDawnRising]

My boyfriend is currently in the Shiga Prefecture (Hikone to be exact) studying until late April. I have seen photos before and for the past few years I’ve been wanting to visit not only the Shiga Prefecture, but others as well. It’s so cool seeing a different part of the Prefecture. Great Video Sharla!

[@raburipanda]

wow, this brings back memories. I was an exchange student in 2005 in Otsu. I still remember Biwako! haha cool video!

[@manuelamejia94]

OMG Sharla. This is where I lived for 5 weeks when I was in Japan last summer. I hope you enjoy Otsu I know I did

[@heyitssharla]

manuelamejia94 you’re so lucky!! It’s such a beautiful city😍❤️

[@manuelamejia94]

Sharla in Japan oh hello there! I did not expect you to actually reply to my comment. Can't wait for day 2 and see if you visited the places I did while there

[@katycat1826]

You looked very pretty in the Kimono :) I bet the food was super jummy :) Seems like a great hotel!

[@ydalir]

OMG! This is the first time I've ever seen someone on KZbin come over here! Come to Shiga again!! Come check out the very underappreciated northwestern bit next time!! :D I have a bunch of beautiful visiting spots to recommend if you ever do! :))

[@chibiosaka]

Waaah! I knew Omi Jingu sounded familiar, I watched the anime they mentioned! It was gorgeous, what a fun surprise to see that in your video! 😊

[@pekoeji]

definitely need to do the bike riding!!! and wow that restaurant was much much fancier than i expected honestly i would’ve been a bit intimidated

[@Ciaela]

Ahhhh! I wish we could have gone together! Your weather looked nicer. Haha.

[@sharlainjapan]

Just wait for day two hahaha

[@kimberly0959]

I see you both upload at the exact same time 😛

[@JackieHappyinJapan]

Just finished watched Micaela’s travel in Shiga😋 and now sharla.. love you both😍😍😍

[@tenlosttribes.3331]

ミカエラさん動画では博多弁で話してバイ 🙋

[@natsmyspace]

Watched Micaela's video first you two should have gone together

[@lanatherana157]

Your video editing is really awesome!

[@gracechow2623]

The square bean is very common here in Malaysia :) We call it the four-angled bean here, Love you, please keep showing us amazing parts of Japan!

[@BAVMS]

Wuou that kimono was so pretty!

[@Lunations]

The food looks so beautiful and delicious!!!

[@Setetoto]

Wow, you look so happy when travelling! ☺️

[@rachelflint6069]

Otsu is beautiful! I just spent two months abroad in Hikone, which is only a short train ride away! I got the chance to live right on Biwako for more than two months, it was amazing. :)

[@alansu65ahus]

シャーラの着物姿とてもきれい !!　　美人だから何を着ても似合いますよね。夕食のメニューとてもおいしそう。私が知らない料理、食べたことがない料理も多かったけど、みんなおいしそう。大津市は行ったことないけど、いいところみたいですね。行ってみたくなりました。

[@Singadelawan46]

Akio Hoshino hi

[@adeusy]

Omi Shrine is the sacred place of Karuta, so it is very wonderful to become a princess with twelve pieces of kimono in the picture of Karuta. I was impressed with your behavior and the insight into Japanese culture. .

[@Em-sf6sr]

so happy to see a new video!

[@j2ciii]

Enjoyed. Love the way your eyes pop when you taste something you really like.

[@yasminesg]

looks like so much fun!!

[@josephlai3455]

OMG! I'd visit that hotel last year, it's so beautiful.

[@RozzBerry27]

[@JackieHappyinJapan]

Hello sharla🤗 i just finished miceala’s travel in Shiga😋. And now watching yours😍😍😍👍🏻 you both will be perfect together😍👭

[@MetalOfHeaven777]

I work for Otsu city, and I literally knew NOTHING about you and Micaela coming. Excuse me while I bang my head on the nearest hard surface. Thank you for coming to Otsu. Please come again!

[@Itsautumnslife]

LOL that bean looks like a cross between a bean and a lettuce leaf!

[@lauraberkowitz6184]

yay! A vegan vlogger in Japan!! Great video - excited to see more :)

[@mikey90504]

Very nice kimono. Reminds me when you modeled another kimono years ago.

[@allisonrochester8418]

I have a small fig tree in my kitchen that I'm going to plant next spring. They have always been one of my favorite fruits :) I am glad you liked them too :D

[@TheOriginalMarimoChan]

You looked so beautiful in that kimono! I also love all your food adventures. I'm a vegetarian so this is making me really really hungry :-)

[@leagiren3479]

The way you comment your meals makes me wanna go there and try their food especially the mochi thing even though i don't know what that is!!

[@callmewaves1160]

Wow that hotel restaurant really looled after you well! What an amazing trip!

[@annaritarafaschieri7127]

Yess! I 'm very excited about the coming video on the Shojin Ryori ^o^

[@akachatha1603]

I just discovered your channel and I love it!!!!

[@budi1eldo]

I love everything about this Video! :)

[@richardcampbell5915]

Love it! I'm a vegan. It looked so delicious, and the presentation was amazing!

[@AsrianiPurnama]

You are so lucky. Waiting for another trip video.

[@sea80vicvan]

Watched Michaela's video on Otsu and just finished watching yours. I have that down as a place to visit in the future. It was nice that the restaurant prepared a vegan dinner for you, it all looked good - and since there was wheat gluten I take it you're not celiac.

[@Pandatante]

Now I'm hungry! Those dishes looked sooo damn good!

[@KeezaPepper]

Yaaaas new video!!

[@simibalinca3532]

Awesome Vlog :) Otsu City look's to be very Interesting

[@risakoiscoolwithm]

Otsu City always feels so homey to me❤️

[@Klaudia-gk5bh]

Your vlogs are the best :D

[@Oshidorinohina]

Figs are soooo good! my pawpaw has a huge fig tree and they are just like idk the dessert of fruits.

[@mizage2255]

[@loopyfrog]

[@miniciominiciominicio]

I know nothing of kimono fashion but with that long kimono you chose for the picture you looked positively bridal!
