You are strong Shinichi. Never ever forget that. I’m proud of you and glad you bring the East to me.

[@saraatppkdotpt8140]

Letting you know I enjoyed watching this video 😊

[@cauxzieruffhausen9547]

I know what you mean about anxiety, especially about falling on the ice. I slipped on ice a few years ago and broke my ankle. It changed my life, making it difficult to walk and hike and go places. That's why I love your videos. I can see Japan (and Hawai'i) with you.

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha Shinichi! Thank you! Very beautiful! Please take care! Aloha nou!🥰

[@ximfloreyenaresna1462]

It's amazing wake up at the Caribbean and then I'm with you in Japan.

[@papipupepo9321]

My husband and I and our small children I are going to Matsushima tomorrow. Thank you Shinichi for this video 🥰

[@annh5627]

Yes Shinichi all of your videos are great content and relaxing 😌 👍 thank you

[@tiinah-b2326]

I know this area from visiting it in 1993. I am Australian and my husband and I spent 2 years in Tokyo. We hired a car for the weekend to make the trip to just here, but it took us so much longer getting there than we thought, so that when we arrived at 8pm we booked a second night at the Matsushima Century Hotel which you walked past. One of my favourite photos was taken after dinner on the 3rd small red bridge, just before the old temple on the small island, wearing a pair of pointy red shoes. I was only 28 years old….it would have been a very Instagramable photo 😉

[@victoriamyung7029]

I really adore how sweet and vulnerable you are with us.

[@Shinichisworld]

Thanks 😊

[@galaxyfarrahway]

watching this now and thinking back to how much your videos helped and sustained me and gave me hope during lockdowns

[@LilDeb]

Please keep posting you videos. I walked backwards on my treadmill watching this video. Please get hiking poles. They will help you keep your balance.

[@aidanngreenwolfe200]

Wow so beautiful there ❤️

[@brianhollenbeck8633]

Looking forward to watching. 😇👑🌍🌎🌏💚

[@chad8094]

Hi Shinichi🙏Thanks so much for sharing content from your travels… Love your vlogs and your honesty. Wishing you the best of health & much happiness. Stay safe always!

[@KarateKim]

Don't ever feel like you're walking or exploring alone, I'm right here in spirit with you. I enjoy these videos so much, it's as if you are my friend, a video pen pal. I appreciate your hard work.

[@cocoraisin]

Thank you for taking us on this trip. This truly healed my soul.

[@jujubi1050]

That was quite the outing for you. We really appreciate your efforts! Thank you!!

[@victoriamagdi]

beautiful place. I had a good laugh watching your video on the snowy part of the island for a moment i thought you got spirited away 😅. Thank you for all the lovely videos. Take care always! Arigatou

[@apriljohnson8797]

Anxiety? bless you, my daughter suffers from it, as well as myself. You can do it! always take meds with you in case of a panic attack. I wouldn't know if you hadn't said so. Millions suffer from it so you are not alone Shinichi!!

[@MrLGDUK]

I am having a bottle of amber ale and wondering whether it would be something you and Satoshi would enjoy - it's called Doom Bar. I needed this after the day we've had! Moving out of a house after nearly thirty-nine years is no joke 😭 Sorry I wasn't more active during the premiere. I was called away from my computer a number of times so I'm going to watch again to catch up on the things I missed. Thanks, as always, for sharing your experiences with us 😁

[@AHylianWarrior]

Seeing others like Chris Abroad and Sharmeleon visit Matsushima has put the town on my bucket list, but first I got to get enough money to go to Japan haha! One day, always got to keep believing!

[@seikakono]

ゆっくり、ビデオを観ながら日曜日を有意義に過ごすことができました❤

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Chris, Sharmeleon and you really put this on my to visit list. And that mochi looked fabulous.

[@tomithot261]

I applaud you for stepping out of your comfort zone to share Japan with us. Love walking with you as you talk about the beauty, hostory, and oh yes your feelings too. Recently I have been getting on my elliptical and adding steps. Thanks for taking me along and adding to the joy of walking.

[@TresEmouvant]

My husband and I always enjoy your videos! So relaxed and enjoyable… also informative. Thank you for being so open and honest in what you’re doing. I think you are very brave. You make my heart full and happy… we could be friends. ❤️ (Although I feel that we would enable one another to get more snacks and spend more time in the cute shops… 🥰)

[@chloelee2997]

I definitely will visit Japan in winter again ! Thank you for a lovely video! Hello from Los Angeles

[@mysoulinletters6572]

Going back here after March 16. Hope everything and everyone are ok.

[@lawrenceakini9507]

Thank you for this KZbin. You both take care.

[@gwynnmccallan8856]

This is so peaceful and beautiful. Loved the little island.

[@jacquelynjones6364]

Thank you for filming the beautiful walk on the island. It was so relaxing to watch.

[@KellyLQL]

Shinichi, I’d really love to visit this place one day. It’s spacious and crowd-less. Thanks for bringing us along! :)

[@jefferydockery6436]

Awesome Vid. Very Beautiful

[@exxon5430]

Wow! Must follow your vedio!! 😀 thank you! Nice view n shops🤣. We must be happy in our life!

[@oraweetaphianthong877]

You getting lost reminds me of the time when my mother and I went to botanical garden in Wellington(it's a pretty big place). On our way back my mum had this great idea of taking a different path, because she wanted to pick some plants to take back home. We ended up walking for hours! It got really dark and on top of that it had to rain as well. It was already 10 pm when we finally found our way back. Walking in the rain at night time with no umbrella was horrible, so cold! That experience taught me to never take an unfamiliar path, or never trust my mum's sense of direction ever again.

[@Jeni10]

No, I didn’t find your fear of slipping, funny. I was with you in spirit the whole way. 🙏🇦🇺😊

[@titasmom678]

Enjoyed your walk. Good thing you are on an island. You did demonstrate how easy it would be to get turned around in a strange environment like the forest or open land. Good job in persevering to get back off the island!

[@robertbarnier45]

Good man. I’ve had anxiety too. You’re so right, keep going, face it own it & fight it Well done

[@booette964]

Added to my itinerary for when I go japan! Your vlogs really help me not overthink how difficult things are when I see how simple it is to order food, purchase tickets or getting around to places.

[@YunhoxJaejoongie]

I remember when I was at Sendai and discovered beef tongue and Zunda. One of the best things I've ate while in Japan at the time.

[@ginangan8892]

Thank you for trying your best even not feeling well, and your honest sharing

[@hectorpulido4984]

What!? Edamame Melon Pan? Wow... That is definitly something special

[@funchi777]

Shinichi, you scare us, we were afraid you really were lost !!! please dont go on those journeys without satoshi. what if you had slipped??? love ya

[@JoannaRives]

How beautiful 🌱

[@agneskunibrown2991]

Yes it's so beautiful mahalo for all that you guys do for showing us beauty of Japan much aloha and blessings

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

Wow, Shinichi-san, you are so IKEMEN when you wear a mask!

[@meimeiparker]

Thank you Shinichi for this beautiful walk with you. I wished I could be there in person.....one of these days. It made me laugh that Satoshi says you should try walking like a penguin, he might be on to something! Lol!😊❤🐧

[@lioness77alfar]

I'm thinking spring, summer would be enjoyable...

[@starjen]

The views were beautiful! 💙 thank you so much for taking us and being so brave by walking on those icy paths! I now want to try zunda now, it looks yummm!

[@debracantrell1058]

A beautiful place thanks for sharing this video awesome food enjoy be safe and take care 😘❤️👍

[@cbaker71476]

Thank you so much for sharing this journey. It was a beautiful experience!

[@victoriaaletaaustria2817]

Japan is so modern that's why I hope the people would be more accepting of people eating especially if one buying is a tourist with no home address to take the food they bought. One buys food if hungry and to still search for a place to eat is cumbersome. As long as one carries his/her own littler, it shouldn't be a problem. Anywhere in the world, one can buy streetfood and eat right there. I remember the delicious waffles in Brussels, Belgium & I bought a veggie variety, with all buyers we were eating right there beside the street kiosk. Likewise in Prague, Czech Republic, it was lunchtime already but didn't have time to eat in a restaurant on the way going up to Prague Castle, and good thing there was a street kiosk selling hotdogs in bun, since I don't speak Czech I just pointed 1 hotdog sandwich, good thing it wasn't the spicy type, & with other tourists, we sat on the curb & ate our food just fronting the kiosk ... finally sat & rest temporarily the aching legs from walking .... and walking ....

[@PREPFORIT]

I love all those interconnected bridges and islands. Great exploring 👍

[@gwen9620]

Japanese poet Basho wrote a poem of the famous Pine Islands. xo

[@Island_Me]

It was fun watching you maneuver through the snowy ice trying to get back out. 😁 This place is so beautiful. If I can ever get back to Japan, I will aim for this area. Thank you for showing us! 😄

[@helvetiqa]

So much nostalgia! We went to Matsushima during our honeymoon in 2019 and stayed in a beautiful resort right on the coastline, but it was the day before Typhoon Hagibis hit! We had to rush down to Tokyo so we wouldn't be stranded up north, so we didn't get to do much in the town or in Sendai. I hope we can go back and explore more soon. I also have an anxiety disorder with panic attacks and it's so awful when they happen somewhere where you can't do what you need to do to manage them. So much empathy, Shinichi-san

[@kagnaonesom7655]

I totally feel you about trying not to fall on a slippery path. I fell down the front stairs of my place and banged my head pretty good that I stayed home and nursed my headache. I never got a chance to even catch my fall because it was raining and the stairs were icy. Thanks for braving this adventure because I would be the same way lol Love the views!

[@sqike001ton]

i got a chuckle out of your walking on frozen ground i can tell your a city slicker from warmer areas

[@jdog987]

Thanks for taking us on your exploration with you, I live in a city and don't often get to (or allow myself) to go into nature. This video let me experience a little tranquility in the beautiful scenery you shot Also, don't worry about sounding like a scaredy-cat about falling, I am now in my 40's and it seems any injury I receive is far more substantial than it would be if I was even just 10 years younger. Last time I went on a hike, I used a walking stick and I found it quite helpful l (also in bad shoes). Take care Shinichi, it is fun to explore with you.

[@andiedance8263]

such an exciting walk. I could feel you were really anxious. then I thought of fold away walking sticks for you Shinichi but but you need hands to hold the gimbal :[ we got a perfect ending the temples are indeed peaceful

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Wow , the title says it all Shinichi absolutely stunning. And so was the food ,never tried curry oysters fried before but it looks so good. Beef tongue and zunda mochi and melon buns even better. Thanks for the temples and the walk , I felt your emotions it's not nice to slip on ice especially as you get older. I'm so glad you shared this experience walking on ice we tend to forget how difficult it can be in snow and ice when you live in places that don't get snow like where I live. I thought you did a superb job making this wonderful video, it's so breath taking and the oysters are quite cheap my husband would move there tomorrow 😀. Take care much 💛💛💛

[@peterjake9621]

Hi Shinichi, missed the premiere but great video. Enjoyed the walk and the food looked delicious 🤤 as well. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful and great company listening to you . Arigato . 👍😀

[@BBMonkeyStar512]

I loved this! This is a place I would definitely visit. Beautiful nature, shops, and food 😍♥️ thank you for sharing!

[@busy_at_the_moment]

Nice walk in nature but I felt your anxiety in this one. Wasn’t too bad as there were other people around. Snow is common for me but for others it is beautiful and appreciated. Being an American I was surprised at how you get charged to access everything even a walk bridge but it is probably why your country remains so gorgeous.

[@chad8094]

Thanks

[@Shinichisworld]

Thank you 🙏

[@mx1315]

Beef tongue and edamame 😀 Yum!

[@annegraheck5713]

Thank you for sharing your anxiety disorder fears

[@bettyG101]

Beautiful scenic place brother. Oh I don't blame you for being careful. When I broke my wrist in 2019, it was due to slipping hard. So steady as you go, for sure. Oh and I LOVE fried oysters and oyster stuffing. 😊

[@fernwebb5568]

Lesson- snow melts faster on pavement with sun and traffic. Raw ground and shade, a bit more elevation and less traffic, it will melt and ice over for a week. Lol. Get retractable walking poles! Might help with some walks.

[@beatrixie8088]

Lovely video! Thanks for sharing with us 💕 I know how much of a struggle can be to travel with anxiety, it happened to me recently to... good job for being strong! ☺️ much love from Italy!

[@agneskunibrown2991]

So glad you made it safe mahalo for letting us travel with you it's so scary be safe

[@merrynpreston9446]

I felt like I was getting lost on this Island, its quite confusing. I imagine with snow much more difficult.

[@rainerlovesjapan9468]

Curry pan🤤🤤

[@LWJCarroll]

Hi, I watched this on my Smart TV the other day. Hiking or Tramping boots may be better to wear as the high bit around your angles supports them much better than the sneakers you were worried about. I assume you can buy these in Japan? Great video btw…thanks Laurie NZ

[@deanzaZZR]

Surprised you didn't get some grilled oysters (on the shell). When we were there everyone was munching on them. I opted for an awesome sushi set for lunch. Matsushima is well worth the visit if you find yourself in the Sendai area.

[@mayawitters]

I love Matsushima. Next time you must try the bakery Matsuda Confectionary - it's right next to the station in the side street that you said looks residential. They are famous for a kabocha cake - one of the most delicious things I've ever had in my life. You can also go for tea in the traditional Kanrantei tea house overlooking the sea, they often serve the Matsuda cakes with the tea.

[@Shinichisworld]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Jeni10]

Shinichi, have you ever heard of the Catacombs in Rome? So much history, you might find it very interesting!

[@lynnkihara2323]

Thanks for the walk around Matsushima bay. I've been wanting to visit, but I couldn't picture the distances to the attractions and how much time I would need to explore. 👍

[@dennistani1986]

Lynn, we actually are going this May. Looking at google maps. everything is very close, within easy walking distances. Take care, and hope you will be able to make it there!

[@XYoukaiX]

aww nice to see this place again, went there twice and I liked it really much :) Sadly both times I went rather "late" as I went to the Cat Island before and just stopped there on my way back.

[@ShiroiKarasu634]

2019 i went to the grave of date masamune. 💪 rest in peace masamune sama

[@apriljohnson8797]

yeah i'm gonna need you to go to an Onsen!! Aerodobe Sensei :), Miss Satoshi.

[@JoannaRives]

@ 8:58" Awesome demonstration of how to #BuildALadder 🪜on hard mental health days 🌱 Thanks for the reminder 🎉

[@lioness77alfar]

You need something warm to drink and going inside can warm you up some ...gift shops are good for at least that plus food.

[@BeTe-me9oc]

P.S. Some keepsakes for this and other similar adventures - snow boots, crampons and walking sticks!!!

[@fernwebb5568]

Not a chicken. Very smart!

[@exxon5430]

33:18 maybe you bring a hot flask n you can relax n drink tea.

[@fernwebb5568]

You are a city guy and you know Hiwaii!

[@pozzo6828]

👌

[@lioness77alfar]

I wish you'd stayed on main paths without all the snow, no one would find you out off paths, you scared me so much as your frightened of falling ... I just wanted you to find somewhere warm and safe to rest soon...

[@SarahPerine]

$2200 Yen for 40 minutes of oyster eating? That’s about $19 USD. This amount of money would get you six fresh oysters at a restaurant where I live!! Very very good deal for $2200 Yen💚

[@saradiaz6179]

Haha! While on the bridge you didn’t show any views, but the walk way!

[@offthesidelines]

Hi Shinichi! "Pensée" is the French word for "thought"! Your pronunciation of the "pen" part is a bit off; "en" is pronounced similarly to "an" in the Japanese way, kind of like in "pan" (bread) with a silent n. Extra/fun fact: pensée is also what we call a pansy flower in French. 🙂

[@Jeni10]

Are Japan’s temples all historic or are any of them still in use?

[@denver0102]

Amazing video! My husband and I always love your adventures (we miss Satoshi! Lol) just curious, was this area affected by the 311 earthquake and tsunami? I vaguely remember the news calling it the Sendai Earthquake now named the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. If so, you can’t even tell that it ever happened!

[@nufi20]

I wonder if one of your ancestors was a wondering monk

[@dianepusateri5841]

I swear I saw satoshi in this video..twice. so confused

[@fernwebb5568]

Those women know where they are! Ask! Men!

[@fernwebb5568]

Too much shade and temp difference to melt on paved sidewalk. I fell and got a concussion.

[@chmjnationalsuperarmygener8564]

？

[@Jeni10]

Shinichi, when I feel afraid, I lean on God and He looks after me. I trust Him because I have known Him all my life. He would love to help you too, but He won’t intervene unless you ask Him. He doesn’t come in uninvited. 🙏❤️. Every person on Earth has a Guardian Angel to watch over them for their whole life. You can ask him to protect you and to keep you safe as you walk, snow, ice or any other surface. I have many stories about Guardian Angels protecting people.

[@Jeni10]

You can eat a few oysters, but they are very high in cholesterol, which is not good for us.
