Shikoku Island Adventure by Car

[@danronquillo]

Love the long form videos! And the production value on this was amazing. Great work as always!!

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you! It was a lot of work but a lot of fun as well, doing a trip like this on my own was definitely something else. Thanks for the nice comment, makes me feel motivated to get back out there 🤩

[@NomadicGaijin]

Haha yeah so people asked for a long video, so I made one, and the funny thing is if it’s short, people complain, if it’s long people complain 😅 no win for nomad…thanks for watching though I appreciate it

[@toddatron]

Nice editing work... you came a long way fast.

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thanks! This one was particularly difficult as I was solo for the whole journey, but it was definitely a great experience and I had fun with the editing :D

[@bigt7841]

amazing drone works such a killer!! As a kansai local nice to see Shikoku exposed and I hope foreigners explore the hidengems! Shikoku is a perfect getaway for us and I truly enjoy waching your tons of mustsees!

[@NomadicGaijin]

I was able to get some great shots on this trip, it would have been a bit better if it wasn’t for a blizzard that cut my trip short. Anyways definitely a great place to visit 😁

[@emlynlofthouse1276]

I've watched this video loads of time but just had to comment on that beautiful shot on the beach (you walking with your reflection in the water). I've not really appreciated that before but love it!

[@NomadicGaijin]

With everything going on, this comment really means so much to me thank you ❤️

[@plittan]

Nicely done video! I'm going next year and this is really neat info.

[@NomadicGaijin]

I’m so glad to hear that, Shikoku does not get nearly enough love and it really deserves it

[@jamescrisp7951]

Yet another quality video!

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed! Appreciate your support and kind words on stream too

[@wishin4hope]

great video! i'm looking to visit shikoku myself later this year so this was super helpful! how was finding parking along some of the attractions? were they easy to find?

[@NomadicGaijin]

Awesome thank you for watching! Parking was pretty easy at most places, parking areas for sleeping also pretty easy to find but often a little further out from the cities

[@fhwtr8884]

Great man! Beautiful video.

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! I miss Fountain Hill, I hope next month things have calmed down more and I can visit 😁

[@fhwtr8884]

Yeah!!!

[@starjen]

Thank you for doing such an informative video! Beautiful shots and a beautiful area! love all the reflections in the pools at the beach..amazing!

[@NomadicGaijin]

It was funny cause I stopped by that beach randomly, it wasn’t part of my original plan but it was so beautiful I’m glad I popped by

[@RediscoverTours]

Great video of Shikoku. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you, I will do my best. Have a great holiday season :)

[@kabatsky]

It was nice indeed. The timing is great, it's almost like watching an episode of a series. Please, keep it up!!

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you, it’s really nice to hear. This is one of my favorites so far, I wish I had more time to do these kind of long trips, they end up being the best kind of adventures 😁

[@stefan5445]

once again, i really enjoy your videos! you show so many things, the picture quality is amazing, editing is spot on and the aerial drone landscape footage is always stunning. i've been to Japan a lot of times, but whenever i watch your vids i see or learn something new. also massive bonus points for bringing Toddatron on every now and then, lately.

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you for the amazing comment, it makes me so happy to hear such positive things from someone who also does KZbin and knows the time it takes to shoot, edit and produce content. Also don’t worry, two videos from now will have Toddatron and he will definitely be joining more!

[@23Hello]

Thanks man, what a nice video.

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you! Glad you liked it, still one of my favorites

[@seizethedayandlive]

My friend and I are thinking of landing in Osaka and driving over to Shikoku for about a week. I knew someone must have posted a trip like that and I'm glad I came across your video. Looks like a great place to chill. Thanks!

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thanks for watching! Yeah it’s such an amazing place, I regret not spending more time on Kochi as it seemed to have so many things to do. Hope you enjoy the trip!

[@akapantsusenpai181]

Great video! I think it’s one of your best. Glad no monkeys were harmed. I hope to visit Shikoku one day.

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you! I would like to think I’m getting a little better each time, hope it continues 😁 I wonder what would have happened if there was a car next to me, I would have had to plow straight ahead...very happy the monkey was safe 🙈

[@FlipsideJapan]

Great video man, I'm currently planning my shikoku tour. Will definitely visit the places you recommended, plus haikyo of course :P

[@NomadicGaijin]

Awesome, thank you 😁 yeah there is so much to see but I liked the places I picked for sure. Excited to see what kind of haikyo you find there, must be some really old places around.

[@FlipsideJapan]

@@NomadicGaijin I've been tracking down some very famous ones, and turns out theres a few in shikoku that have been doing the rounds in some books for years.

[@NomadicGaijin]

@@FlipsideJapan can’t wait to see it, I loved visiting Shikoku and excited to visit it again sometime soon

[@harveysusman1351]

Wonderful, as always❤️ Let’s add that to the list of places we can go on my next visit.

[@NomadicGaijin]

Definitely, there is so much to see and it’s a real change of pace from the major city destinations everyone goes for 😁

[@elenabit1527]

thanks , my reply to your reply. i went to Naruto it was raining so i visited the huge museum, copies of originals garden and great cafe. 100 islands? wow.

[@NomadicGaijin]

That’s too bad about the rain, but hope you could see some good stuff

[@elenabit1527]

@@NomadicGaijin went back and walked UNDER the bridge, a must.

[@LucyIsTheOne]

Amazing views! We watched this on our big screen TV tonight.. it felt like we were right there with you! Another wonderful portrait of Japan!!!

[@NomadicGaijin]

Shikoku is a great place, I especially loved the calm beaches in Kagawa 😁 Thanks for watching and really happy to hear you enjoyed it!

[@pizmak6154]

I'm hoping to visit Shikoku next year, thanks for this video, it gave me some inspirations. :)

[@NomadicGaijin]

Those are just some of the main sights, I would love to go back and travel more off the beaten path. But I honestly loved each place I visited, glad you enjoyed! Good luck on your trip :)

[@natsidro2082]

I saw ur live in reddit new subscriber here😎😎

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thank you Niel, much appreciated! That was a fun stream and hope you enjoy the content here 😊

[@AlohaSteve808]

Thanks for sharing Luke! Gonna goto Hirome Market!!

[@NomadicGaijin]

Really glad you asked about it, I definitely recommend it 🤩

[@BeersInJapan]

That was cool!

[@NomadicGaijin]

Thanks for watching!

[@edvhollywood4544]

I like to see it from your car route. I guess the sites are not availably by bus? Naruto bridge area? I’m in the area now, Nakajima and very remote bliss.

[@NomadicGaijin]

I followed main highways for most of this trip, some of the parking areas I stayed are probably not so accessible by bus most the sites should be

[@Joe_-tf8is]

6:38 "a mini mountain", also known as hill :D

[@NomadicGaijin]

That's the joke, it's called Mt. Naruto but it's pretty much just a hill, so I was poking fun at it a few times around that section Japan is liberal with their use of the word mountain
