The surprising day trip from Tokyo that NO ONE knows about

I couldn’t get over just how beautiful Sagamihara was, but also how empty it was. It’s mind blowing how it’s still so empty, but that also makes it great for people that want to escape the crowds in Tokyo.

Oh. My. Word. Hannah, you outdid yourself girl! I think I just fell in love with this place and I have only seen it on video! Well done love! Well done!

[@djlos01]

Hannah, I love how you have evolved from just a Vlogger on life abroad and performing arts, to an INCREDIBLE video artist. What you do, you do so well that I forget that you are "working". I don't think about the hours of editing that must go into your videos to make them seem so seamless. They are so picturesque and vibrant with color and life. Top that with your natural energy and love for life, it's no wonder why I look forward to your vlogs with anticipation everyday. Thank you Hannah!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Wow this is such a lovely comment to receive! People like you who appreciate the little details and effort that goes into, are the people I make all the effort for. Thank you so much, Carlos!

[@Tchernobog11]

The section of 9:44 to 10:21 brings honest to god tears to my eyes. Beautiful shots, great editing, along with this somewhat haunting music just fantastically shows the loveliness of the park at the same time as showing how it's slowly being abandoned by the lack of tourists. Thank you for this video.

[@alisoltani2425]

you're always happy and laughing all the time and I love that.

[@justjess882]

I'm already sold just from the opening drone shot yas

[@justjess882]

hi Tahnee I love you

[@justjess882]

bahahha pleasure forrest.

[@justjess882]

the dog. the lights. much cool. very beauty video

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Your comments are truly a rollercoaster each time.

[@StMyles]

Wow that looked like a good day of fun and simple adventures. Thanks for sharing Hanna.

[@K1rmcc]

Now that’s entertainment! Your channel is definitely worth the price of admission.

[@18007422066]

Sometimes, simplicity at its finest, is the best. Awesome vid!

[@fawn6]

Hannah, your editing skills are getting better and better. Your videos are becoming something else , congrats. keep it up.

[@dawnforlife]

Wow! What a beautiful lake and loving your editing!

[@rudy.robles]

I've been watching your videos since you had purple hair. :-) I am impressed on how well your videos have improved over the last year...from the b-roll, to the intro, the editing, music selection, amazing Q&A with your brother, etc. etc. Keep up the good work! Hope you have a great New Year!

[@Jindujun]

You did a great job putting video and sound together, really enjoyed it. Japan is such a wonderful place

[@BenEverywhere]

This is definitely on my itinerary when I visit Japan this year. Also I recognize the “Lets Boating!” Sign from Kraig Adams Japan super vlog.

[@scottsakahara4785]

Such a beautiful video as always. To be just a couple of hours away from Tokyo and having no crowd's an amazing hidden gem. The lights were awesome! You should show us your pottery when they send them to you. Always love your editing! Your energy makes it so enjoyable to watch. Happy New Year🎉🎊🎆. Hope you have something planned for a New Year's video😊 that would be awesome.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks! Yeah I’ll definitely be including them in a video in the future haha

[@Itami95]

How beautiful! Looks like a lovely day trip to avoid the crowds of Tokyo. We recently went up to Mito which was just gorgeous.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oooh haven’t heard of Mito. I’ll check it out :)

[@kiwdwks]

Looks fantastic...thanks for sharing it!

[@SpectralightPhoto]

Hannah, I absolutely love YOUR love for everything you experience in your life. It is especially nice that you enjoy and respect nature and all that God has made. Don't ever lose your joy for life!

[@saneill17]

This is why I love your channel, you show us where to go to get off the beaten path. Love hidden gems 👍🏼💕

[@tammi6771]

Such a beautiful place! Pleasure park looks fun

[@Kricchettina]

So funny, wonderful and relaxing

[@sasakisadao8]

Just watching the video is exhilarating. Great travel journalism! Thanks for sharing.

[@stevensbirds4455]

Your video is so amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@CalebDoesStuff]

You really went all out in that editing sequence. Very good. Really liked this vlog.

[@thng5978]

Thank you for sharing your 😊to help us smile! This is so lovely.

[@sumit6190p]

So cinematic video. Love your videos since your Swiss trip. The music changes the whole experience of watching your videos.

[@xUnikronx]

Pleasure forest!? Sounds like my kind of forest! You dont disappoint with vids Hannah, great job!

[@eronskpopclassroom7041]

I always comment random stuff but today I just want to appreciate how high quality, beautiful, and professional your footage is🤩 Thank you for the amazing content AND sharing Japan's secrets with us!

[@ronlandis588]

I'm glad to see sponsors are recognizing your talents. You deserve it!

[@alfonsopayan09]

Not going to lie It warms my heart each time I click on one of your videos and see you smile and hear you laugh

[@AndryRakotomalala]

Can we all agree that Hannah is what we want KZbin to be? Her personality, her editing skills, her kindness, and her story telling ability are why I keep coming back. I mean did you see those lights!?!? Ddddaaaaaaaannnnngggggg!!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

You’re so kind! Thank you so much!

[@AndryRakotomalala]

Currently Hannah Of course! :)

[@CelticKing101]

11:41 pretty much sums up the video! FYI the editing is next level, the video feels raw yet has the correct audio to keep you engaged but not focused on it so you don't really notice it. Thats very hard to do!

[@ggauche3465]

Worth watching more than once, for the "content" the edits and the audio. Another great vid Hannah.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Wow that’s a huge compliment! I wouldn’t watch many videos more than once haha. Thank you!

[@AubreyBackovich]

I love your vlogs! They are absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ARMY_ksoo]

100% putting this place down on my Must go to places while in Japan ^__^

[@richiehimes7990]

An amazingly beautiful country. Thanks for showing us all the parks as well as Pleasure Forest and the kawaiiiiiiiiii puppy!

[@sammiibb]

another beautiful video !!!! .. loved it

[@joehongyuan6361]

Great video hannah

[@CoolOrb]

happy holidays ... hannah !!! :)

[@Kalsino]

Dear Hannah... That´s for the amazing video, i was really surprised over that was nearly no one at the beautiful park, the lights were really awesome! please show us your pottery when they send them to you. And Hannah i always love your editing, and the energy you give from your self, it´s so enjoyable to watch. Now we are close too the end of the year, and i hope see one more video from you if not then i just want to say Happy New Year too you and all your love ones. Yours Sincerely The Danish Viking.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks Danish Viking! You’ve got a majestic beard!

[@kungfool69]

thank you ;) saved this in case we go back again for a third time! I am really looking to have a quiet Japan holiday so been checking out several youtubers who go outside tokyo (Tokyo Lens has done some great ones too)

[@zishere48]

All of these videos give you such a beautiful feeling of surrealism. Like a real life ghibli film. If that makes any sense.

[@Gantorin]

They you leave a piece of yourself in every piece of artwork you make... sometimes that is a literal statememt.

[@Erika-gx6gr]

I love your laugh! This video made me happy! :D

[@benec5816]

This place looks so entertaining and lovely cannot believe that no one is going there. Those mazes and wheel of light awesome although think you might have to find bigger horses next time hope a lot of people see this and go there stay safe and enjoy yourselves see ya

[@yantawe]

You have really great videos!

[@srowe829]

Now that was an awesome Video. You need a drone handle (3d Printed) when you launch and retrieve from spots like that. I really liked the amazing footage, and i cant believe how empty it was. You and your friends happiness made the video. Thanks for sharing

[@jasminevelickovic7161]

Hi Hannah, I loved this video! How did you find out about the town?

[@ninjacrumbs]

Just on the other side of that lake, a straight line from the boat house, is the most wonderful campsite that I`ve been going to for 10 years now. It is called Mino Ishii Taki campground. It is only accessable by boat (phone number is at the pier, they come and pick you up) And what a pleasure that ride is! The cool breeze on the lake refreshes you, then you pull into a cove where a beautiful lush landscape presents itself. Good for tents, has cabins, ammenities, cooking/washing areas, communal areas, canoes, kayaks, cheap beer, rivers, waterfalls, hiking...and warm shower toilets!! The owners are awesome, you get a nice night view of the ferris wheel at Pleasure Forset, and it is more than reasonable the price. Tell them Alex sent you!!

[@willmori7106]

Amazing camera work👍.

[@Tyler380]

Excellent video.. Love your laughter and happiness.. It seems when you travel with your girl friends you have a better time.. Its morning in America and seeing your video just made my day..

[@jetzterrr26]

I love Japan that’s where i proposed to my wife just last year 😊 I always enjoy your vlog because you go places in Japan that’s unheard of, im keeping a list so next year i’ll definitely check the places you featured in this vlog, wish you more success 🙏🏻 keep it real Ciao 😎

[@edmxop2611]

二人の笑顔が素敵です The smile you guys makes me happy! Sagamiko illumillion was not such a gorgeous place but i had fun too.

[@seyvlogger2854]

Love ur video ,Nice vlog I see angkor wat in ur intro so nice

[@montgomeryfortenberry]

Oh man! I love those revolving room things. If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to install one in my house. Hahah

[@Summer-spring24.]

So nice view! I recommend that you come Nagasaki!!

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Very nice video!

[@remembercitadel-videogamemusic]

Nice vid! What drone did you use?

[@DeanaandPhil]

Those lights are gorgeous! Did you count them? =) Almost spooky how empty it was!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah it felt a little spooky without people there!

[@Tokyodrew]

Sagamiko is a great area. Summer is best obviously lol South of there is Miyagase lake also very beautiful area. Nice video

[@rumahberuang]

nice video, i wanna ask question, is legal to drone in tokyo?

[@jhopper007]

Really digging your latest vids. I'm planning a Japan trip in the near future. Hoping to meet a childhood friend and absorb the Japanese culture once again. Greetings from Colorado!

[@izzaefizzae]

what a beautiful place! when did you go to sagamiko? i am heading to tokyo in january but i'm not sure if this would be a good place to go whilst it's winter... nonetheless, thank you for always sharing your hidden travel gems with us :)

[@levscape]

Love your videos! I’ve never been to Japan and your videos are encouraging me to travel. Were you shooting the A7 Mk III? At around 12:00 the stabilisation looks a bit crazy, like a jelly effect? I haven’t noticed it in your videos before.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

No this was using my Canon 77D. With my wide lens it sometimes does that jelly thing so I usually try to edit it out hHa

[@jaydkaladcamper]

Ouch, that's the problem with mavic air, or similarly sized drones. Its very hard to hand catch because they dont have landing skids.

[@clemencebiteau]

Hey Hannah, I realy like your work and your edits! I follow you since your trip in Bali and I never take the time to write a comment, oupsi. ^^ I have just one question, what's the name of the first song? I didn't find it in Artilist :/ Thanks if you take the time to respond. :) Love from France ;)

[@ma-shi7183]

ハンナさんの撮る日本の動画って日本とは思えないくらい綺麗 海外行きたいって思ってるけど日本でもまだまだ行きたいところが再発見できる！ありがとう~^^

[@user-nn3hg6ns3p]

わかる。情報摂取のアンテナの張り方が違うんだろうね、映像の技術やセンスがネイティブ日本人と一味違って面白い。 日本に対する温かい気配りも感じられて素直にうれしいね！

[@estelagarcia6579]

日本とおもえなくぐらいきれい？ そもそも日本は綺麗だよ。

[@taroubb1940]

基本的に日本に限らず自然は綺麗。感性の問題でしょうね。

[@estelagarcia6579]

Tarou BB そうだね。日本的なものは綺麗と思わない人もいるんだね。

[@user-oy3pq9pf6v]

こういう日本を純粋に愛してくれる海外の人はホント神

[@temoa]

We've added this place on our Japan trip later this year

[@KittyMFilm]

Wow! I’m in Tokyo on a holiday right now and would love to go there for a change in scenery. It looks beautiful.

[@user-tu5lj2bx4t]

Please be careful , tomorrow is so cold in Japan. You had better have warm clothing. ^^

[@KittyMFilm]

ピージーイチロウ yeh I went to Disneyland and it was freezing. Now I’ve got a terrible fever 👍

[@user-tu5lj2bx4t]

​@@KittyMFilm 　A HAPPY NEW YEAR ! and sorry to hear that, please have lots of water and sweat a lot, hope you will be better !

[@KittyMFilm]

ピージーイチロウ Thank you for the tips! Japan is amazing!! Happy New Year!

[@boardguy1024]

This place is sagami-ko^^ I've been there!

[@jinbutsufumei]

Yay! I gave this a 👍 without getting wounded

[@miltonmercade]

Just a great video

[@wehanvanzyl621]

Wow. I can't think of a better way to spend 12 minutes and 50 seconds of my life.

[@m0chete]

Good place!

[@TheRealParappa]

What's the name of the song/artist at the start? I need that track! Nice video btw 🙂

[@masami_channel3937]

You are brave girl! Flying drone from such a small boat is very scary and difficult. I hope your finger is OK by now😊

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah it’s pretty much healed now haha thanks!

[@bublebuble2004]

great video

[@user-rh1ym3yz3h]

何気ない日常がキラキラと輝いて見える‥凄い才能ですね!

[@zam023]

That place looks like something out of Disney Sea, minus the crowd. Amazing.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hahaha yep!

[@sayjaibao01188]

Wow! This place is like a dream...a dreamlike place nobody knows about! :-)

[@nicholaskennedy99]

Hannah, can i ask you one thing? Please dont stop making videos. Your videos are the definition of perfect vlog. You are so beautiful btw. Peace out

[@TheWorldnUs]

Oh that rainbow road in Mario Kart use to give me the s#its! Great video Hannah 👍 As cool as Tokyo is, I think some of the most beautiful places in Japan are found when you get out of the big cities.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Rainbow road was SO difficult but I think I always liked playing it cuz of the pretty colours haha

[@MarkSmith455]

That last place with the lights looks like somewhere I went 6 years ago but thought it was in Saitama prefecture. I'll double check as there maybe another old ghost town you can visit.

[@MarkSmith455]

Here is the other place. Japan, 〒359-1145 Saitama-ken, Tokorozawa-shi, Yamaguchi, 所沢市山口２９６４ Seibuen Amusement Park

[@TW-hk2uw]

Your video may start a revival of fun seeking visitors to Sagamiko.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I hope so!

[@bruno2756]

I don't think that no one knows this place (by all the touristic infrastructure you can see that this place gets a lot of tourists) but you went in winter... spots like this usually get tourists on spring/summer. I do agree that it is an amazing site, worth visiting it for sure

[@narutok1000]

Hi! The place in 0:04 its in japan?

[@Thao1992Pete]

First video I have watched...How long have you been in Tokyo?

[@tube2211ification]

So I was waiting for Patrick Patrick Swayze to turn up! 🤪 Great video keep it up.

[@flurokitty]

wow looks beautiful, we were looking for places to fly our drone and this might be a winner. Was it totally OK to fly there?

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah it was totally fine here :)

[@flurokitty]

thanks, we will plan a trip for Saturday. Your vlogs are always such an inspiration keep up the good work you just get better and better.

[@KirkLau]

do you need (to rent?) a car after the train? or public transit is good enough to get round?

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I must admit, public transport was pretty sparse. A rental car would be ideal but from memory, the train station isn’t far from the lake.

[@KirkLau]

@@CurrentlyHannah oh well. Car rental it is then. Totally putting this one on my list!

[@user-kx1my5hm8c]

日本の良さを再認識させてもらえます。ありがとう😊

[@Sasscat58]

What was the meal?

[@MartialBachoffner]

I like to watch your video, you inspire trust.

[@O-kinawa]

10:44ヤバイ可愛い😭✨✨✨

[@user-hw3vm9tm1p]

ハンナ可愛い！

[@angienatoyn]

Let's boating! XD

[@user-tu5lj2bx4t]

I hope many people who didn't come to japan ever fell like going to japan, after watching this video.

[@mop09drg]

"Sagami" is old name of Kanagawa-Pref.

[@pavementpounder7502]

The drone sounds like a swarm of angry bees lol

[@meganh7526]

What’s the deal with the two sweatshirt guys? After I saw them in the pottery place I was like “huh, guess those guys from the restaurant also wanted to try out some pottery...” and then I realized they were also the guys from the boat dock! Haha. Looks like an incredible place, definitely should have a lot more people visiting!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hahaha they both organised the collaboration and accompanied us throughout the trip :)

[@ume819tgs]

こんな遊園地あるのか！
