Where is Everyone? | Local Japan Walks

[@anitakinman8881]

I'm so happy you're back in Okinawa ❣I was born in Naha, 1958. My mama had a karaoke bar in Naha . Her name is Machiko Yamashita, my beautiful mama. She passed in 2019.😿 Going home to Okinawa is #1 on my bucket list. Domo Arigatou, Shinichi san 💜I love you and Satoshi. Watch you every day.

[@gracenakatsukasa4035]

Love how you say "good morning" to the cats. I do the same here on my walks. You know so much about the area and the flowers! Thanks for taking us with you!

[@Timbit]

The cute cats remind me of little people lol. Sitting at tables and eating yogurts. So beautiful

[@bigloo609]

My son was stationed in Okinawa and participated in the tug-of-war. He was also an extra in two movies that were filmed there. When he first joined the Air Force, he was thinking of putting a request for a base that was close to home (in the US). I told him , "Are you crazy? Put in some place exciting. Some place exotic. Go to Japan!" . And he got Okinawa and he loved it there.

This is definitly my favorite type of video : exploring small and unknown places with lots of different styles. The shotengai has a strong 80-90's feeling, some kind of slow decay and poetry to it.

[@primarytrainer1]

i enjoy having my coffee in the morning and watching your videos. it's a peaceful way to start the day and see a change of scenery.

[@LLNTMY]

“People are doing morning exercises and stretches over ther-Look at this beautiful hibiscus! 🌺” These walks are super relaxing and I really appreciate these videos. These videos keep me sane while I’m working early in the morning. So thank you so much!

[@starjen]

Beautiful and relaxing morning walk! loved it! I also enjoy morning walks, there is something calming and mysterious when towns/cities are quiet and just waking up! Thank you for the great walk Shinichi 🤩

[@teresaedwards2533]

Great video! I lived in Okinawa for six years, near Naha actually. I still think about that place almost 30 years later.

[@thetylife]

Loved this...calm and relaxing atmosphere. The quaint and quiet surroundings are a nice change of pace from the shiny crowded streets of Tokyo. I should take some long early morning walks myself.

[@SarahPerine]

You speak to the cats just like I speak to animals I encounter on walks! Very gentle and kind :) Thank you for the walking tour!

[@peterjake9621]

Missed the Livestream, just got in from work after a stressful day. A cup of Coffee and a Shinichi walking video and I’m 😃. Arigato

[@francisinghels9765]

So quiet and relaxing walk...

[@ILuvMaths]

This was so relaxing. I really enjoy your slow-walking chatting videos!

[@debracantrell1058]

Good morning good to see you love this walk you took us on the walk was awesome love all old building stay safe 👍❤️ enjoy it

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Very relaxing walk thanks, all the best from the UK 🐈

[@scottfairway1033]

That hibiscus was flames! Thanks for the tour.

[@cheliro1450]

Hi Shinichi from Pompano Beach, Florida. The flower with the tiny purple flowers growing off the main plant is called porter's weed. I grow it all over my boarders in my yard. If you pass it again, look for a long shoot that has already turned grayish brown, it has completed the flowering process and you can pick it off and it is full of seeds. Take it home. Crumble it and get the seeds and plant them in a pot snd they grow quickly. They will look lovely on your balcony.

[@MrLGDUK]

I think I have watched some of these videos out of sequence, but I've really been enjoying following your experiences in Okinawa 😁

[@marybumpass1374]

It's nice to see Okinawa. I was born there in a US military hospital. My mother is Okinawan. I still have relatives from my mother side of my family living there.

[@stacyneuman8619]

That cat that was white with grey strips looks our kitty named Twister 😺

[@sanzoparty1066]

the apartment buildings remind me of the tv show Hawaii-5-0 (the original)

[@jstephens2758]

It is really cool to take a morning walk. You see much that you would miss when it is crowded. Wish I could get up earlier.

[@momonakokeshi6325]

Always nice to take a morning stroll to see your surroundings.

[@daniel-panek]

Pretty cool, makes me want to travel!

[@ck7642]

Okinawa is the Hawaii of japan...feels like.

[@kattrablake7008]

8:43 it sounds like he’s a destination walker and you’re an exploration walker

[@Taralynn70]

I QUITE enjoyed this walk. The early morning vibe and your soothing voice made for a great video. What a fun place to wander around, would be fun to see it with the shops open or at night lit up. Also, fill your pockets with some cat treats next time, lol. I love the local attitude about them.

[@LondonWalkbyLondonSocialite]

Lovely walk 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@astroboy3507]

Yes that ART hibiscus was poppin!!!👌🌈 Yes I did remember when u went over the bridge and said hi to the cat last time u went with satoshi!! ?

[@snowpea11]

Beautiful! I loved this so much! The little side streets are so exciting.

[@karenstanislaw8912]

Only discovered you within the last several weeks.. -Actually liked *this episode very much, Shinichi. Their was an intimacy for you in this walk, which always adds to the vitality of experience - as well, I appreciate your comfort with the "imperfect," and interest in *architectural shifts. Yes, happy and honored *cats - always a good sign. Until next, much thanks.

[@Shinichisworld]

Thank you

[@TheMCvamp]

Us Hawaii people always walk slow. No rush right? Lol

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha Shinichi! Thank you so peaceful!

[@robertocuevas8584]

I agree with you those building the one in Honolulu. Aloha from Pearl City

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Awww that so sad they will be changing such an historic shopping area . I like the look of the old tiles on the roof and the structure of the buildings. I have to agree, this area is so interesting I didn't know it is the home of tug of war , how wonderful. This is going to be an exciting series Shinichi beautiful Okinawa I can't wait to see more.💚👍

[@jeywood6532]

Thank you for this walk you supported my Christ prayer hour with these tours.

[@MrStrawza]

Hey Shinichi, greetings from Florida! I've been to Okinawa twice in the past few years visiting my friends who used to live there! I totally recommend you visit as many old historic castle ruins around the prefecture, as well as all the waterfalls tucked away in the hills and forests. I think it would make great content for your videos and people would love to see how beautiful the nature side of Japan can be! Also, the gorgeous clear water and reefs like Maeda point!

[@slayerrocks2]

I like this video. I was saying,please go down that street. Please go down it." Then you did.

[@CIUCIUNDRE]

Loved to see some of streets I walked myself a few years ago….. Love Okinawa!

[@lawncarelady8204]

I highly recommend Miyako-jima. I went a few years ago. I loved it. I wanted to go a non-touristy location for Okinawa. They had lovely beaches.

[@emdotem]

Thank you for the pleasant walk as always!

[@savesoil7814]

i like this deja vu feeling you have shared. so relatable

[@babytkim]

Omg, I’ve been hoping that if I ever go to Tokyo, I would run into you. I live in Okinawa now, and feel like there might be a chance! I’ve followed your channel for years. Hope you have a great trip!

[@rinshin]

Yes, they do share similar look to Hinolulu apts. lived there 7 years in the past too.

[@rinshin]

Yes, very sad so many older areas of Japan are being replaced with high rise buildings. My hometown area in Tokyo are totally transformed within last 7 years. All the small izakayas are all gone. Replaced with high rise luxury condos.

[@edge5558]

Have you been to Sam's By The Sea, delicious if not you should go. One of my favorites.

[@saraatppkdotpt8140]

Letting you know I enjoyed watching this video 😊

[@shannondore]

Lovely walk Shinichi. Okinawa is beautiful... pretty flowers, and cute cats, even the sidewalks are pretty. I loved the park too. Btw... I ordered my TabiEats care package the other day. I can't wait to try everything. I'm most excited about the sweet soy sauce and the chili oil.😊

[@Shinichisworld]

Thanks so much!

[@robertfujisaki5348]

Nice walk. It really reminds me of Oahu!

[@catherinebond7474]

That plane sounded like a jet from a military base. Were you close to the US base? The music sounded religious. And the plumeria is beautiful! I'm like you when I walk in a new place, I like to look around a lot. Luckily, so does my husband. It takes long time to get places. I think that is one cat that keeps following you around. 😊 Thanks for the great video.

[@Shinichisworld]

Actually yes. Many military bases in Okinawa

[@Deej_jeffs]

Quite place 👌👍

[@jeffers1]

Aloha from Oahu! You know it could be mistaken for parts of Honolulu haha. Can't wait for everything to reopen for Japanese tourists to come back and to be able to visit Japan again. Lot has changed here but I can still get some taco rice!

[@ginas.6656]

I also like to walk slower so i can see everything. Please show all the cool restaurants!

[@cecilialibago8449]

new subscriber here..your voice is so calm,made me subscribe immediately 😘

[@Shinichisworld]

Thanks so much :)

[@SalvationinCHRISTalone888]

11/24/21: Aloha🌴🌴from Hawaii. Yes, it does look like areas in Hawaii indeed.

[@fulltimetraveller967]

Can you go to the arashiyama monkey park please? I grew up almost every summer going to Japan and never made it there.

[@ck7642]

I agree...does look like Honolulu.

[@Anita-kd4zu]

You were on Parasol Street on another video. I remember that..do you?

[@lotuslee4662]

Hi sinichi San how are you? Are you supposed to go to Hokkaido?did you change your plan?l love Okinawa too i went Okinawa 2019 enjoy your Okinawa visit have good day.Ps I love you and satoshi San you guys are so cute.

[@lisarodriguez8357]

Does somebody know if there are traveling update for traveling to japan?

[@mazzarouni5608]

Was this filmed a few months back in the summer? It must have.

[@Shinichisworld]

This was filmed a few weeks ago

[@mazzarouni5608]

@@Shinichisworld oh ok. The light you had at 7am was very nice.

[@carriepadgett2743]

I thought it was live! lol

[@bzs331]

The gay district is awesome! I had such a great time there in ‘19

[@kattrablake7008]

If you want to film at night or just hand out Pick a hot day then you could have a nice afternoon nap and go out meaning when it’s cool

[@joeybenra]

Love to know more (in details) about the GAY AREA of Naha 🥰 !!!!! Domo Arigato Tomodachi 🙏

[@carriepadgett2743]

Such an unbelievable amount of graffiti and grime. Makes me sad. I live beside a military base and it looks the same. They've poisoned the drinking water here and in Okinawa, vandalize historical structures, make a mess and a lot of noise...sigh...it's so much different on that island than anywhere else around Japan.

[@zakwanarif]

Ikr. I just looked up okinawa gdp per capita and it is quite high but for some reason it looks like the place you would find in third world countries.

[@Momo-qo7is]

When I saw the small alleys in brief, I thought you were in one Mandarin-speaking country.

[@patriciamcrae5331]

Thiscacblast from my past.

[@bornanatheist8346]

That looks like all the others? Are you sure it is not? Looks the same?

[@christineschwenker5824]

You are just leaping between time lines...you are just time traveling.

[@charismacolada9846]

Probably fighter jets you hear .

[@Brie7362]

You couldn’t pay me to walk down those streets. Freaked Me Out!

[@paulinetan781]

Its boring looking at all the closed shops :(
