Snowy Zao Onsen in Yamagata, Japan

Back in the Christmas rush, I spent a day out in Tokyo on a lie: I told Martina I was shopping for her Christmas present. That was already bought. Instead, I was out planning a romantic getaway for us for Valentine’s Day. We always wanted to experience Northern Japan’s crazy snowfall, and I found out about Zao Onsen in Yamagata, which was supposed to be snowy. I just, err, didn’t know it was going to be this much snow.
So I booked a petsitter for Meemers, secretly cancelled our meetings, called the hotel and checked to see if they’re tattoo friendly, booked a room and our Shinkansen tickets. I booked a taxi to pick us up from home, and had one piece of luggage secretly packed with all of the clothes, toiletries, and medicine we’ll need. And then...the rest is in the video. I hope you like it, and I hope it inspires you to try to do something a little special for your partner, even if you’ve been together for a very long time.
This isn't an ad for the Onsen. We just really liked this place. It's called 深山荘 高見屋 or Takamiya Ryokan Miyamaso. Check it out here!

[@aurelijabud]

[@mathewbsaenz]

You two are the ultimate couple. They're is no couple more loving and I'll fight anyone that says otherwise on your behalf.

[@kalliemae8921]

I 110% agree to the max, they are an inspiration to what I hope to find in a partner one day!

[@ninidagul805]

I dont mind not having a partner, these two are enough to make me believe in love! ❤❤❤❤

[@HelloTravelHolic]

FACTS.

[@Kihidokid]

Ive been saying this for years 🥺💕

[@SophieJackson1993]

Well.... you spoke too soon.

[@budywudy9]

damn i missed the premiere I've probably been subscribed to both of you the longest out of any of my subscriptions (since 2012 i believe) and the fact that in your videos you manage to be cheery and that your unconditional love for eachother hasn't changed is why i love watching your content so much. thank you for these amazing years, i hope you both stay happy whatever the future holds

[@somerscott8315]

budywudy9 I’m 2011 but I just saw someone say 2009 but it’s doesn’t matter because we’ve all been here for the journey 😭

[@heejs6100]

God, I just... [gesticulates Shia Labeouf-style] love these two [flips a table over] SO MUCH

[@tago5337]

I woke up just in time for the video. It was beautiful. Martina being surprised was adorable.

[@ashlyrae7240]

OH my god ! He is such a sweetheart !!! what a lucky lady !!! I almost cried lol !

[@carlaxnika]

I love watching your videos! I think it’s so amazing that Simon continues to share his love for Martina in special ways. Watching your videos and showing your love for each other really do bring out such joy for me. My boyfriend is dealing with a lot these days. He’s been having a lot of sad days and building a ladder is something I’ve been continuously saying. It’s something special and we love watching you guys. Thank you for bringing joy through such kind and loving videos. You’re helping me each and every day. I love your podcasts too :)

[@scubatuba3294]

You two are truly inspirational. Your love for each other never fails to touch my heart ❤ martina being offended by. The separate beds and immediately pushing them together, for some reason, tugged at my heartstrings and made me feel all happy and warm :) love you guys, keep doing what you're doing, you inspire me to live my life to the fullest and to be as happy as I can.

[@bryansl0587]

My gosh you two are too cute! You know you can buy attachable soft spikes for your shoes, so the ice/packed snow isn’t so scary? Also means you don’t have to shell out for boots purely for snow. P.S. I love that Hamtaro cap Martina. It’s an adorb anime that I have no shame in admitting that I’ve watched. ;)

[@SammIAm]

I loved seeing this unfold on social media, now time to see the full story!!

[@madorno81]

Loved the video. The scenery was AMAZING!! Glad you had a great time. Simon you are sooo stinking sweet!!!!

[@DalgonaC]

Omg, that opening was beautiful. My heart was melting!!!! I love your love so freaking much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wanderingtravelr417]

What a magical adventure! ❄ And what a lovely Valentine's day surprise!

[@sarahdaily23]

10/10 I would love to spend Valentine's day like this. 😍

[@nizuna1286]

This relationship gives me hope in life. Love this video and you guys!

[@ninana143]

I love that you guys love each other so much! I love you guys too!

[@HeartlandHunny]

Home from work with another migraine, which are increasingly going from being episodic to becoming chronic. It's very frustrating. But what's this? A wild Simon and Martina video appears! It uses adorableness and joy. It is super effective! Y'all make me smile. :-)

[@125loopy]

Have you seen a doctor about the migraines? I hope they can do something for you

[@HeartlandHunny]

MeShannan Thanks! I actually have an appt with my doctor this week. I have a lot of other medical issues that we’ve been working on, but Wednesday I’m gonna let her know about the increased migraines.

[@kelleetakeshita9573]

Yes, you bits are awesomely ultimate couple! Enjoy every one of tyiur videos!

[@AMMolloy]

Woah! I can't believe I'm catching a premiere! I've been seeing snippets of this on Instagram and I still gotta say, Simon and Martina are forever #CoupleGoals.

[@healingv1sion]

Love....looks like a ton of work! I applaud both of you!

[@mediaaddict3997]

Loving Martinas moose knuckle jacket. I just wish they weren't so expensive where I am.

[@JCXP123]

I've heard they're very good so it's probably worth it :/ If you want a decent jacket, you need to pay at least $100 cdn (I'm in Toronto). Super good ones are waay more expensive. My jacket is considered a good one and was on sale so my dad bought it for me and I think it's usually $500 :/

[@LovePinku6]

I have a mooseknuckle and it's totally worth the price. It's extremely warm and durable, i'll prolly be wearing it for the next five years (at least). Its a big investment but if you live somewhere really cold its worth it :)

[@JCXP123]

@@LovePinku6 Yeah my jacket is a north face and I was so thankful bc there was a polar vortex where it was below -20 degrees celsius everyday. Seriously couldn't believe how warm it kept me (or at least not cold haha)

[@LovePinku6]

@@JCXP123 Hahaha I feel u, I'm from Toronto too 😅 too bad my jacket couldnt keep my legs warm. I was feezing even with heattech under my jeans

[@JCXP123]

@@LovePinku6 yas a fellow torontonian XD Omg ikr. And the thing is i was in Waterloo (for university) and it's always 1-2 degrees colder there, which doesn't seem too bad but it was awful bc it was so cold XD When I was coming back to Toronto, I legit couldn't feel my toes that I actually put hotpacks in my boots 😅

[@contessamj]

awwww I hope I meet a man as kind as simon one day! I wanna be surprised and loved and I wanna take an adventure together and take the roads less traveled! Martina and Simon you two are so wonderful! Love you guys y'all make me happy

[@kennedy785]

You two are just the CUTEST

[@danajo2219]

Simon, I love how much you love Martina! Y'all have a marriage that we can all learn from!! Big hugs to you both and I sincerely hope we can connect with y'all one day!! 😍😍

[@aambibambi983]

Wow! I can’t believe I got home in time to actually make it for one of these live videos. (Listening from Israel ❤️)

[@vasilyuran1025]

Giving whole lots of relaxation watching♡

[@Garlic_bread_7012]

The hat you bought is from the serie Hamtaro. It was one of my favourite series when I was little. ^_^

[@tatianajones9711]

Why are you guys couples goals 😢

[@hcsquids1798]

The sound effects were hilarious! 10/10, would watch again. 😂😂😂

[@LilacKoi]

I don't know about you guys but I was like cheering every time martina was going up and down the stairs cuz I know how painful it is for her and in the cold it had to be worse. It she took it like a champ. Go Martina!

[@jessicaarttans4415]

I miss your video! Thank you for sharing this special moment with us. Simon, you are very sweet, loving husband and Martina, you are so beautiful and dorky! I really love your sunglasses

[@ddryadd]

When I need that feeling of wholesomeneness I come to your videos! I adore you guys. Your love makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Lots of love from Croatia!!

[@gv3793]

I have been watching your videos since, can’t remember, and without a doubt I know that Simon you are the best husband. Husband of the year!!!!!

Bucket List dreams.

[@pennilesswriter1556]

Thank you so much for being KZbinrs. I just had my fifth back surgery on the 7th and I've been having a pity party. Some of that is pain and pain medications, but mostly I feel like at 27 years old I shouldn't be getting an urgent two-level cervical fusion (´д｀) But then I see Martina being so sweet even though she's in pain and I remember I'm not the only one. So, thank you guys.

[@Angelofdarkness4777]

Simon and Martina you always make me happy and give me inspiration and courage to one day travel and face my anxiety level of 1000 so fat I’m at level 192 of confidence.

[@frankiem9101]

Thanks for sharing this awesome experience! You both inspire me to be the best partner I can be to my spouse.

That ramen looked so good! I was eating lunch while watching this. The ramen puts my cold cheese and avocado sandwich to shame. Now I'm gonna watch the video again so I can see both bonus endings.

[@TheRealSala]

haha you guys always look like your living your best life and I am living for it 😂😆

[@CriticalCalib3r]

Awww. This looked like so much fun! I’m drooling over that ramen! Wish I could get something like that here in the states! Keep being adorable guys!

Your hat made me think of Hamtaro...literally one of the best shows when I was growing up! This looks amazing!

wow the video didn't even start yet there is a dislike😂

[@eatyourkimchi]

essiralc garcia there is a SPY amongst us! 🕵🏼‍♀️ 😂

It's just some salty person

Maybe someone disliked that they have to wait for the awesomeness? Hehehehe

[@Sainivandu]

OMG yaaasss!!!! this is my first time watching Simon and Martina's livestream, live! when i clicked on this video, i thought you guys uploaded a new video.....until i saw the reminder on the video hahaha can't wait to see you guys!!

[@HIROKITRAVELS]

Wow!! So beautiful!! Nice video!

[@TheNetymags]

Growing up in Toronto vs growing up in New Brunswick! We see snow like that at least 6 mos out of the year lol!

[@eatyourkimchi]

My mom was born in Newfoundland and she told me snow to the rooftop isn’t unusual 😲❄️

[@TheNetymags]

Simon and Martina I know! I always feel horrible when I hear how hard they get hit by a storm and it’s May! A brave and awesome spirit lives in the hearts of all newfoundlanders!

[@SachaDoesPortuguese]

Not from Canada, but I know the ice maneuver pretty well from growing up in Colorado! Shuffle along, stiff thighs, walk a bit like a penguin & the ice is less of a problem... and also why I moved to the Mediterranean 😂😅

[@Spetia]

I'm not sure if you guys have been to Yunessun before or not ( I will have to go look through videos ) but I think you would both like it and the mixture of different types of hot spring to try out.

[@silvernicholas8548]

FINALLY! I can watch something when it come out! So I'll just be in my computer watching the recycle video again for the 10tg time while I wait here on my phone for this

[@kalliemae8921]

That ramen makes me want to make Knoephla (Norwegian Potato Soup) so bad!!!! I make it from scratch during the entire cold season in winter. I'm currently in Oklahoma and it's 25 degrees F outside, not too bad but it makes me want warm soup!!!!

[@TohokuMatt]

Takamiya is great, I went there in the fall. It was weird seeing it in this video after having been there. I couldn't tell but did you visit both onsens. The one in the front and the one in the back or middle area? I remember one has the upstairs tree house area and the other doesn't I think. Also one thing you didn't mention was, at least from my experience the staff was freaking a-mazing!

[@voxascale5316]

Ooooooo i absolutely loved it!!! Also, what were the songs you played in the background?????

[@menma98]

You guys just solidified the fact that you're my KZbin mum and dad.

[@hatusharu94]

oh my god i should not be watching this while im starving lol

love you two : >
