Staying in a Peaceful Japanese Countryside Town

[@johno4377]

Was hoping for: Travelling by bike on a train in a canoe on the water in the countryside by a town.

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Bahahahahaha

[@sherryberryjp]

It was truly the most peaceful trip I’ve event been on☺️ Perfect weather for canoeing💕 It was fun chasing and filming you guys😁

[@TokidokiTraveller]

You did a great job filming us!!! Thanks so much for everything, I reeeeally loved Kochi, I want to visit again during the koinobori!

[@sherryberryjp]

Tokidoki Traveller Ooooo yeah the Koinobori season must be gorgeous🤩

[@wxlurker]

Hey Emma, you add lemon juice to help lower the PH to help the pectin gel properly and ‘set’ the jam. Lemon juice also helps lower bacteria growth I think.

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Well now I know! Thanks for the info 😄

[@Offensive_Username]

You often see citric acid as an ingredient in food, which acts as a preservative.

[@becks5867]

All the food and scenery looked gorgeous. Also, I’m pleased that you didn’t get cooked as a stew 😂

[@TokidokiTraveller]

With the heat of the water I did wonder if being stew was my fate 😂

[@marmarue8004]

This cute little shiman torocco reminds me of that little train in Spirited away

[@HelenBeeee]

That kayaking looked amazing I love how making things is a big part of tourism in Japan.

[@brielleelise9558]

I started laughing so hard at the "Look at this tiny pumpkin! Look at this child!" since that is 100% something I would do. My boyfriend heard me and I showed him that clip. He said, "That's you. How'd you get to Japan?" 🤣

[@blaisefaer3069]

It would be so nice to hear you speaking Japanese a lot more Emma!

[@Rose_from_UK]

The canoeing looked amazing!!! Floating down the river like a pooh stick. Imagine floating on a raft on your back, on a load of cushions wrapped in a blanket, just letting the current take you. 🦦🧘🏼

[@lordofthe6string]

I've been wanting to go to Japan for a long time now, and I was planning on going after a big project I have is finished at the end of 2023, but something happened today and I now realise I won't ever be fit enough to travel, I have a lung condition and it's getting harder for me to just do everyday things. I am very down so I've been watching your videos all again to cheer me up, but at least I have them and others like them to show me what it's like and live vicariously through haha. Thank you so much!

[@LeSweetpea]

Such a fun and peaceful trip 😌❤️ The blueberry jam turned out so good! 😋

[@h.s.3883]

You look so happy! Thank you for taking us with!

[@biteofdog]

What a beautiful town! I'm glad that you are helping Japan promote the lesser known areas to international tourists :)

[@jeffm5204]

The canoeing part made this whole video one of the most relaxing video I've seen.

[@princess-violet]

Waow, Im currently time-travelling through your videos, its very zen and relaxing, gives em a lot of grounding. And what and adventure Japan ! You have been doing farming, glass blowing, pottery, onsen cooking, flying, cycling, .. really amazing travels.❣❣❣

[@StrathpefferJunction]

Looks like fun, thanks for sharing...although as a long time kayak & canoe instructor, they're called kayaks. Canoes are open topped and you paddle them with a single bladed paddle. 🙂

[@TokidokiTraveller]

That’s what I thought too! Definitely kayaks, but the place called them canoes so I’m like ?? Ah well still an amazing time on the water! The scenery was so beautiful

[@StrathpefferJunction]

@@TokidokiTraveller Whether you're in a kayak or canoe, just being on the water is awesome. You see the world from such a different perspective and notice things that landlovers miss out on! 😊

[@danamock801]

Watching this made me feel so peaceful. What a gorgeous place!

Nice! Kochi is Japan's hidden gem. Home of the countries cleanest and most beautiful rivers

[@dianagreen3361]

The water is so clear!

[@Defelade]

Emma. I’m so glad I found you. Awesome channel ☺️👍🏻 Thank you

[@toriam15]

I really enjoy your videos. You are so wholesome and honest.

[@t.fahrmann9757]

You are the best 😍...but the subscriber to views ratio is mildly said astonishing (where are these people? 🤔) 😃😄😀😁😂

[@giochacon8354]

This is so my kind of trip ❣️ lovely seeing Japan this way.

[@dazisbored]

I love your video style. Informative but also relaxing. The music you pick is very chill and soothing. Double the entertainment too, watching it through once, then again with auto generated subtitles to see what a mess it makes out of the Japanese words lol

[@FrancescaS.]

I was just watching Ocean Waves from Studio Ghibli :))) one of my favorite films from them and it’s also set in Kochi! Good to see how it looks like irl

[@michaelmaddox2536]

I just got to say: Best intro on KZbin! Great videos

[@jaymalloryy]

So beautiful there! Looked like a wonderful time! 💕

The kayaking looked like a lot of fun!

[@Torsee]

Love your adventurous food nature. That whitefish... I don’t know if I could eat that. Was it bones and all?

[@XSemperIdem5]

What a beautiful and peaceful trip. Always love your videos.

[@TheAimbot9000]

That looked like a fun place to visit.

[@Mist3rData]

Hey there, i actually stumbled upon your channel by accident. But i love your video's! Hope to see a lot more of them. Love from Holland.

[@superlee091]

Yes! Please! More videos like this!

[@HeidLander]

what a lovely place to kayak

[@TokidokiTraveller]

It’s actually my favourite kayak experience I’ve had in Japan! I think if I lived in the area I would have to buy a kayak 😂

[@calumj9329]

It looks so nice there! Although now I have to admit I'm craving blueberry jam...

[@RecLocJapan]

The weather looks amazing!

[@abeerkhan1879]

I really really want to go to Japan and live there.

[@anne-sophiekuentz6875]

I think Mont-Blanc cake might be French actually :) very popular over there

[@soyouzsoyouz]

Yes it is !

[@OllamhDrab]

Oh, good, they've got blueberries over there. :) (Oh, also I think the citrus juice is to help preserve it, it has those properties. :) )

[@renato.pastor]

Such a beautiful place. It looks so calm and relaxing, if I could choose anywhere in the world to live in, that'd be it. Followed closely by Ehime.

Anyone else notice the ice cream hiding in the background @12:46 ?....like in the outro. Also love that jacket Emma! Where'd it from?

[@michelcolet6975]

If you have a Q & A I'd love answers to a few questions. In junior high I had an exchange student stay with us for a few days at least. I still have the kimono and a couple other things. I took a semester of Japanese a little after that time. I find it all fascinating.

[@EnigmaDave]

I can't stop wondering about what you do after drifting down-river. Do you portage the canoes back, or do they have a place to drop them off?

[@TokidokiTraveller]

They took a van down to where we finished further down the river and picked us and the boats up and drove us back 😄 I was so worried we would have to kayak all the way back up the river 😂

[@samsarafreesamsarafree5988]

The hotpot @9:10 looks very delicious. By the way, whatever happened to your pet hamster? Haven't seen it for some time.

[@Cbiskit23]

usually you'll add citric acid like lemon juice to jam to help it set, if the fruit itself is not acidic enough.

[@EgyptParis]

I was so scared for your getting in that bath!

[@apredator4gb]

Emma, the human hot pot.

[@monikar9846]

So beautiful!😍

A chestnut mashed cream cake "MontBlanc" is not popular in Australia. I didn't know that!

Silly question Emma, but do you go back to your videos to watch your journey so far, and how have you changed?

[@Rose_from_UK]

That nabe looked really plain. Was it?

[@kungfool69]

LOVED THE VIDEO! This might sound dumb but what is the most common way for travellers to get to the Kochi area from the mainland, especially if they have a JR pass?

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Actually I just looked it up and you can use JR pass to get to kochi! It will take a while if you go from Tokyo because you can’t take the fastest train -nozomi. But the trip to kochi should be completely covered by JR pass 😄 to get to this specific area you can take a train to Tokawa station 😊 The quickest way to get there would probably be flying, but if you already have JR pass that would be super convenient 💪🏻

[@kungfool69]
