Take me where the people aren't - Daisetsuzan, Hokkaido

[@Allaluca]

So far I've seen over 10 videos on your channel, and I think what sets you apart from other travel channels is your level of enthusiasm for travelling, even when you're travelling alone, which is not easy to do. Whether it's hiking in the mountains or driving to see sunflowers, you're always enthusiastic and excited, and that brings a smile to my face, please don't ever change : )

[@ikekurimoto-fischer6683]

This was such a well made vlog! I'm glad you chose the ambient music to contrast with the peaceful scenery. Honestly an absolute pleasure to watch.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks! Calm piano music really suits this kind of atmosphere. My favourite kind of video to make!

[@ikekurimoto-fischer6683]

Currently Hannah Keep it up! We all look forward to your next vlog!

[@sammylong841]

Beautiful Hannah. Some incredible shots. Hope you are happy & healthy x

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks Sammy!

[@GENEARAI]

ugh your intro is so good no matter how many times I see it

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thank you so much! It took a looong time to make haha

[@301th-wanderer]

I don't know why but I feel so relaxed after this vlog. Ty

[@Travelling_about]

Raw and true with funny bits in between that’s why people watch. Nice blend with drone too 👍🏻

[@thesirensgame]

I live vicariously through you, I'm currently working towards moving to Japan and for now, you help tame my Japan-needing beast ♥

[@pradipsaru8599]

Loved your video editing and such a amazing places you visited wow.. beautiful nature

[@lizawithaz9524]

Felt peaceful just watching this! Love your editing. The drone shots along with the soundtrack were a really cool mix :)

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks so much! I love scenes that I can use piano music with.

[@rtmaui]

Your travel video was both majestic and over the top! Thank you 🙏

[@sunshinecindy570]

Another fantastic video! I love nature so much, that place looks amazing! I love the way you capture the tranquility of this beautiful part of Japan . ❤️

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thank you! It was hard to make it look bad :)

[@AmbientWalking]

Thanks for the tip! I love wild places!

[@juliep5091]

Feels like we right there with you. Beautifully edited. Thank you 😊

[@z-mackdos6echo311]

This particular trip of yours to this location reminded me of going to Mammoth Mountain in California. Lots of hiking trails. But along with it are bike ride trails, fishing, and if you know where to go some thermal hot springs. Oh, and swarms of people. There was one backpacking hike I did to Supai Falls in the Havasupi canyon, where for about 2 to 3 kms the silent was deafening. No mosquitoes buzzing, no birds sounds of any kind. I could actually hear my heart beating. It’s a bit unnerving to experience it for the first time. I’ve read or heard that a simple bug and mosquito repellent are dryer sheet used for your laundry. I can’t say that’ll work for sure, but what could it hurt other than the bugs, that are bitting and sucking your blood out from you. Your opening track sounded a lot like Bronski Beat’s “tell me why?” Just with the tempo’s pitch altered a bit. Or was it “small town boy”? Continued safe travels, along with beautiful footage of those locations. How do you find the place you select. Your boyfriend or a travel agent assist you in those destinations choices? They are good ones.👍🏼

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Regarding your question, most of the time I just see nice photos or heard of beautiful places online and figure out my own itinerary!

[@mylittlewalker]

First video I have watched. I like it so far. Nice hike locations. Love those curious couple on the window😂.

[@Chris_in_fremantle]

Great footage, Rural Japan is becoming a serious contender for our next holiday, THX Hannah. Edit: BTW wow 67k!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks! Rural Japan is my favourite!

[@JonGPxl]

This is great! I look forward to checking Hokkaido soon, so it was super nice to see your experience! I had a great time in Kyushu in Spring, might go to Hokkaido before it gets cold again! You make vlogging look so much fun, and you're very charismatic :)

[@brycetwyman]

Looks amazing! That rain would've been so calming 😍

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Ughhh I love the rain.

[@brycetwyman]

I often get looked at weirdly for saying I love the rain. Glad we're on the same page!

[@riennekoh3901]

Hi Hannah, haven't watched your videos for a while, so I was surprised that the editing quality got better!! And drone footage too! Really a well-made video. Many thanks for sharing :)

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks so much! Always great to hear that!

[@kissypants7]

A perfect outing save for one interruption. Love it!

[@NomadShifu]

Known as "the playground of the gods. Daisetsuzan National Park is the largest park in the country, and this mountain range includes Mt. Asahidake, the largest peak in Hokkaido

[@jeffyuau]

Just a friendly reminder. Try not to fly into cloud in a cold day. Cause your prop might form ice and stall(Fall out of sky, cost you a lots of money). Ice can form on the prop from around 10 degrees. On average, temperature drops around 2 degrees per 300m. eg. Say if where you are standing is 24 degrees, 24-10=12 you have 12 degrees to play with, then 12x300m=3600m. Then you should be safe to fly it into cloud up to 3600m from where you are standing. Fly safe, I enjoyed your video, cheers mate.

[@cakeswithfaces]

I’ve been planning a trip to Hokkaido so I’m so glad you’re sharing all these places, they look amazing!

[@jeromehenryuk]

Absolutely relaxing. Japan is a place where I want to go so I am amazed by your videos (outstanding quality).

[@CyberEditing]

Amazing....saw from your channel description that you joined YT 2007, May 31 ! I'm "next door" in Taiwan & been on YT since 2009. Love your content!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hahaha well I started my channel ages ago but never posted anything till October 2016. I should’ve just started a new channel lol

[@創-q3u]

I wanted to watch this video before I go Asahikawa! So beautiful!

[@KeepOnGrowin]

So glad I found your channel, awesome vlogs!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks Mike!

[@mansoureh]

It is really good that you manage to get to that beautiful place. I love doing this kind of thing too

[@benndoverr5233]

Beautiful scenery, I love getting out in nature away from the hustle. Enjoy

[@fast0025ify]

How wonderful. This channel is a real gem.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thank you :)

[@colette8022]

I stayed at that house and did that course a few years ago. I also got swarmed by giant mosquitoes whenever I stopped walking. That’s what standing water gets you.

[@jennyclairedavies]

You are definitely helping me Japlan for my working-holiday visa starting next summer 😀 Always love watching your videos 😊

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Japlan is great. I wanna use that in the future haha

[@jennyclairedavies]

Currently Hannah Such a spot on word 😉

[@KajaKubicka]

this place looks really beautiful!!! I love your Japan travel vlogs :)

[@tomofishing826]

Gooood morning Hannah!!!!:) Nice work!!!

[@SheherJalandhar]

I'm totally your fan now. Love your content

[@JimmyGunawanX]

5:24 open air bath onsen, I envy you!! 😩😩 Love your drone shots and all around story tellings. Keep it on Hannah~ fellow Aussies.

[@videobydt]

Love your vlogs. So good to see an Aussie laid back style. So glad I found you through all the noise.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks so much! Welcome!

[@naoto9556]

Country side and mountain are just amazingly beautiful. It must be not as hot as in the city. ご飯も美味しそうで羨ましいです🤤

[@Tyler380]

It's a pleasure to watch your videos.. Be careful and stay dry...

[@phillipmartin1386]

Wow Japan looks like heaven on Earth

[@senpaiarniel6643]

I’m your number 1 fan, You’re so pretty hannah ❤️

[@tailstraveladventures79]

Very beautiful and peaceful 🙌🏻

[@coconutpanda]

That was a pleasure to watch.

[@Nucleric]

hahaha at the mosquitos! i miss japan! i need to go back and visit

[@hioka1325]

You make Japanese look more amazing than it actually is haha Glad to see your vlog

[@SaqisVlog]

Wow, really amazing to see your vlogs

[@shanwaliullah7350]

The way u edit and filmed the scene when you bought food was so cool, need to trie out to film that way!! I have said it many times before and i will say it again, ur videos is such an inspiration for me as an youtuber. The way you make ur vlogs is breathtaking! And ur content is inspiring me to travel more!!! Ur are handsdown my fave youtuber! You may allready know that in this point haha, but I just need to say again!☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ Sorry for my bad english haha!!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

You’re so kind! Thank you so much! It means so much to hear that you appreciate my vlogs so much :)

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Also your English is perfect! No need to apologise!

[@shanwaliullah7350]

Currently Hannah ❤❤❤❤❤❤!!

[@Partykristian]

I have noticed that you go swimming/bathing sometimes in your travel videos. Do you have any tips on how to make sure your gear/clothes/stuff stays safe while you're in the water?

[@PhoenixOGD]

Let's wait for another year or 2. It'll be recommended again. 🙏

[@albertopaz84]

Why do people still watch your videos? Because they are GREAT! And you are great btw, so happy to have found your channel, can't wait to see your next video :) Ps: definitely, find time to visit Iceland, there are no words to describe the beauty of that country.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks!! Oh I will definitely be visiting at some point in the future!

[@michaelconte7872]

Hokkaido is amazing ! Please show us more.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

More is coming soon!

[@maoandthen828]

The onsen is so pretty!

[@limosine]

Wow...can feel the loneliness in your voice. Thanks for the nice vid :-)

[@lazyPawdy]

that place looks awesome!

[@alfredoruvi]

You hear that...? is Nothing!!! Lov it 🖤😂 Saludos Desde Mexico city!!!!

[@wehanvanzyl621]

Another beautiful location, wonderfully captured and shared! You're right, the building and surrounds do look very European, very Swiss Alps or German countryside(ish). Surprising to see so many foreigners in your hostel, were they all in one group? Also, I feel this video contains the perfect, tasteful amount of skin. No more and no less than necessary to convey the atmosphere of the onsen! ;)

[@pavementpounder7502]

I really wanted to go to Hokkaido in winter, but now I also wanna go there in summer (I did anyway, but moreso). Dammit, too many seasons in the year! Lol

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Haha I know me too! I think I might try to head back in Winter!

[@KittieGeorge]

What did you visit Hokkaido for? I lived in Sapporo, where Miso ramen is famous. Asahikawa is known for Shoyu ramen and Hakodate is for Shio ramen. I recommend Cinggis Qan nabe at Sapporo beer garden or ram shabu in the city. If you would like to enjoy Hokkaido specific fresh seafood at reasonable price, Otaru is better. Souvenir should be Marusei butter sando.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Just visiting for a vacation :)

[@JustinNguyenJ]

Your vlog is amazing

[@akarmoussaittizi3012]

You are right ,got a European vibe to this place.Thanks for another awesome video.

[@BelusTraveller]

Awesome area short and sweet, You were bathing in a outdoor pool, freaking Awesome 😊. Looking forward to the Mavic’ footage, Peace Belus Traveller

[@ReflectingMe2024]

Hi Hannah, long time musician, but just getting started into video making, loving it too. This is the first video of yours I have seen; it is so well presented and has given me lots of pointers for my learning. Great work. One question if I may, the music... I know you have provided a link which is great thanks, but what is the track you use starting at 1:09 please, need to do some research on that piece. Greetings from Wales. John

[@LaurensTravels]

Beautiful place!!

[@abbyrose1868]

I love places like this, escaping the city. I though going to Nikko from Tokyo was deserted. That was nothing compared to this lol

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah I loved escaping the crowds in Nikko but this place was next level empty hahah

[@abbyrose1868]

Currently Hannah it looks so beautiful too! I'd love to go some day. I'm planning on trying to live in Japan in 2020 so I'll put this on my things to do list!!

[@josephhapp9]

🌺🌺🌺 🙏🙏🙏 Always love your videos.

[@BUSHARAFTRAVELZAD]

Must visit that island one day. You look like the late British actor: Barry Joseph Evans. The video is amazing.

[@empireofpeaches]

That outside bath looked lovely. How was the hike up the mountain?

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Great!The video is coming soon!

[@zam023]

FYI - Mosquitoes are attracted to black color. Avoid wearing black in the wild. I think bright colors is advisable. Also, beware of bears when in Hokkaido's forests.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah someone mentioned that before and it’s the first I’ve heard of it. Good to know for future reference!

[@渋谷ターミナル]

Cool!　Nice vlog🎵

[@Ibrarmughaleverything]

Lovely

[@jeveetsoibam]

Nc haircut hannah.... Love yr vlogs.... Keep it up

[@xUnikronx]

Im upset I didnt get a notification for this video, but im glad I checked to see if there was a new vlog up! Those were some great shots you put up! Was that hot spring part of the place you stayed?

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I’m glad you liked it! Yeah the Onsen was just apart of the Hostel. I had no idea it was there until Trying it!

[@xUnikronx]

@@CurrentlyHannah very cool and beautiful spot, i really love the shots u got of the low clouds/mist

[@salade99]

If you wanna go to another place like this I recommend Karuizawa

[@one42chrisp]

Very nicely done, thoroughly enjoyed it. Mosquitoes really love black clothing, I found out the hard way!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oh really?? That’s so interesting!

[@one42chrisp]

Currently Hannah Yes, it’s best to avoid black and dark colours if mosquitoes are around.

[@redoctober6521]

It looks beautiful and peaceful there. You just need the mosquitoes to lay off next time. Awesome drone shots once again.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oh those mosquitoes DO need to lay off. They were the worst haha

[@dreys6tube]

'I dont feel like Im in Japan, its no mountainous' in fact roughly 70 percent of the land area is mountainous:) Anyways nice video

[@YumoYori]

LOLLLL "You here that?......nothing" It truly is peaceful (lord mosquitoes). OMG those people so nosyyyyyy. The food looked really nice though

[@ornleifs]

When you are hiking in the mountains of Japan are there any animals you need to be wary of like Bears or Snakes or something like that ?

[@zedamex]

Örn Leifsson yes. Both. Usually there are signs like "yeah nah don't go picking apples today there have been reports of a bear in this area" Snakes too but it's not stressed like Australia

[@christopherpeterson6273]

Okay i have seen 2 vids. And now i want to quit my job sell my house and just travel. absolutely stunning how do you do it all

[@yueyihuang3308]

Are the shoes you wore in video the ones you mentioned in the previous video？

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah they are!

[@paulcurtis5496]

I love your hair short, so cute. I love it long too, but not everyone can pull off short hair.

[@oiku4408]

Hey so have you ever visited Oita? Just curius

[@StMyles]

Wow, Cool 😎 and amazing video.

[@ShigekiNakayama1126]

very nice place! :) I also wanna visit one day! :)

[@patrickstruik4318]

I like rice fields too! (Bali and Malayasia)

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Ooooh Bali has some great rice fields!

[@paveladamek3502]

I have a problem. I have developed a major crush on this amazing filmmaker slash traveler slash performer slash anything-she-wants-to-be. With every new video and/or place visited, I am so happy for her because she truly deserves this. Her cinematography skills are out of this world, way better than the likes of Casey Neistat etc... Plus, I love bubbly personality and I love purple(ish) hair, too, so I am screwed. :))

[@mistermister1541]

Any bears or other wild life to worry about over there?

[@officialbjoern8838]

Really Nice vlog👍😁

[@itsjustmerayray4132]

Dude, only 6 minutes. what happen to the usual 12 minute videos? i feel robbed! hahaha jk those creepers had me cracking up! haha

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hahaha sorry. I didn’t have much footage and didn’t wanna try to stretch it out to be longer. The creepers were kinda great huh

[@itsjustmerayray4132]

hahaha yes. specially the lady. Her smile tho is soooo perfectly creeper-ish! i might get nightmares in my sleep tonight!

[@vankhoanguyen2922]

I love your smile so much

[@tontoMemoryMomentsMedia]

Hi Hannah, can you tell what drone are you using please thanks.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

All my gear is listed in the link in the description

Cheers, just couldn't access the kit.com at the moment, but will try again later. Good vlogs - very informative thanks.

[@nasseralotaibi9600]

Ohhh your channel is amazing n what is the name of this place ?

[@JK-lr4su]

" it doesn't seem like Japan because it's so mountainous" sorry i had to LOL at that.

[@takeshikawabe8430]

Great videography, are you self thought? I like that you show Japan’s unexplored areas, some places like Kyoto are suffering from over tourism. I work at a travel agency in Kyoto and we like to show visitors hidden spots. Maybe we can do a collaboration sometime :)

[@akhileshmanandhar3597]

beautiful

[@chaikitchotthamrong7819]

try to go Thailand. Street Food it's very cool. This my country. recommend : Tom yam Goong ,Tom kha Kai , Phat tai , noodle and many thing ... If you like nature. Introduced at Ayutthaya You will ride the elephant. Watch the elephant dance Crocodile Show Chiang Mai , Chiang Rai too much tample ( north of thailand) Phuket , Khabi Beach very nice (South of thailand) There many more to say.
