I love these videos

[@aishahs85]

"please do not lose hope. bright future is almost there. we just need to keep walking, so let's keep walking together" 🥰

[@kaysikat]

He’s honestly one of most friendly and positive guys on KZbin. Lovely words :)

[@aroundtheworldinaprildays]

I remember eating at that McDonald's in Takeshita Street, it was drizzling that day and there were just so many people so we decided to hangout for a while at McDonald's and try the Japan-exclusive menu while waiting for the crowd to dissipate. Omotesando was sparkling when we passed by, it was almost December and the Christmas light decorations were so beautiful. I miss Tokyo!

[@raduvlad3561]

yes yes..i drink watermelon juice at that Mc Donald

[@paripitiffany]

9:31 The Lord bless you and keep you, Rion! My fam & I felt you may have been a kindred spirit. We are so blessed to have such a kind, genuine, and fun KZbinr share Japan with us. Ganbatte!!

[@KasiaKwiatek18]

These lighted street lamps make me so nostalgic...

[@victorhurivera3618]

The shrine area was so peaceful looking. Especially with the last rays of light.

[@kaysikat]

Rion’s lil notes and anecdotes make smile ( I can’t believe there’s no pigeon emoji 😂)

[@shonamacdonald1054]

My dream is to visit Japan one day when the world goes back to some normality. I plan on visiting the new super mario world at universal, also trying lots of different food, collecting gachapon and playing in the arcades. Will also want to bring back souvenirs and candies back with me. One day I hope! Keep safe and well Rion. And thank you for your videos. 💖🙏

[@shermainlee9808]

Please make a video on your religion and the religions in Japan! Love your videos ☺️

[@Pixics]

Rion is Christian I think

[@NANICU]

Please remember to explore the side alleys of Takeshita Dori. Their just behind the main street but it feels like a world away, with quaint shops and cafés.

[@VH1771]

I am definitely going to japan after the pandemic is over, it is a must dream come true plan!

[@RionIshida]

Hope the day will come soon😊

[@katarinaporubska9451]

My nephew is 8 y., he definitely wants living in Japan, he is trying get exercises of Japanese language😃

[@josephm5353]

I've visited this area many times through the past 15 years. I can't wait till I can visit soon when the pandemic gets better

[@jonbarta673]

What a beautiful video Rion! Keep up the great work, and watch out for the pigeon poop........ Ha ha ha

[@RionIshida]

🤣 I will be careful😁

[@alcala8221]

Nice video looks like more people are out Thats good hope things can get back and the people can travel their soon. Thanks for sharing much love from Texas.

[@Pixics]

I agree

[@jason89988]

I truly enjoy his videos, it’s always interesting and informative. Also the way he presents his videos shows his kindness and gentle personality! A rarity in today’s world!

[@steveid1411]

Beautiful video, beautiful shrine, beautiful music, very good english, and what a bunch of skillful pigeon they have lol

[@josenoelveloso876]

I love how you conclude your video at 12:50 its a good transition that there is still hope. Thanks, Rion my wife and my daughter looks forward to visiting Japan again soon. Keep safe and happy too.

[@roseapostol3700]

Hi Rion, Nice place & view.👍 I did not skip the ads😊

[@MinxLaura123]

Hello from England ! Your channel is GREAT and makes us smile :) hugs to you ! Take care

[@mirdominance]

Wow... seeing Harajuku this empty feels a heartbreaking for me. I usually travel to Japan from Korea during my vacation periods from work about twice a year and haven't been able to since 2020 January. If it weren't for the pandemic, I would be in Japan right now during my current vacation period as usual visiting friends. I feel really sad for all the people and businesses affected by the lack of tourism. When I video call friends living in Osaka, they show me how the areas we usually go are so empty and many business closed. :(

[@georgefraser589]

I loved the shrine and the music you played there. Stay healthy Rion. Thank you

[@sheikhan1995]

I'm happy to hear that you are a Christian brother. I enjoy watching your videos and I've been slowly watching all of them (except for the livestreams) your recent videos have a better quality but even your older videos are good. Thanks for making these videos.

[@clairewilson4244]

Another fantastic video Rion. Made a gloomy Friday in the UK better. Cannot wait to travel again, as I'm sure with most people.

[@DavidRiddick]

Thanks for the update Rion !

[@stucumins8511]

I absolutely love you work!

[@j.j.q1379]

Wow Rion thanks for touring us in Japan!!

[@TiffanyDArtist]

Such a beautiful video!

[@Walking5to9]

Another fun video. Thank you for taking us here 😃

[@psychcorp4449]

This is a fantastic video. Please thank your parents for me for giving you such good values. I laud you for showing respect to your ancestors by bowing at the gate of the shrines. How beautiful. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.

[@RionIshida]

😊😆🦁👍

[@roosyenovita397]

Thanks for the vidio Rion .....

[@pablobarrientos4408]

nice one Rion

[@sallyannestooke6063]

Beautiful atmospheric photos at the temple...loving it💕

[@joysaha3946]

Wait for it.😇😇

[@etherdog]

Rion, I loved your editing to make the video a bit "snappier" and your captions were funny about the pigeons!

[@diedraunderwood1114]

So peaceful! Thank you Rion for all your hard work. Hopefully I can walk these same spots in September. They say it is good luck if a bird poops on you! LOL Birds for some reason ALWAYS poop my car. One got me on the head one time when I first arrived on a trip to NYC. I didn't feel lucky. 🤣 Stay blessed and safe my friend!

[@ketolin5624]

Thanks for shooting this video, it brought so many good memories of my time in Tokyo, I miss it!!

[@AmbientWalking]

Your way of seeing the world is so awesome. I really enjoy every minute of it!

[@Boomdizzle99]

I love this style Rion!!! I feel so much more immersed in what im seeing. Very amazing content! Looking forward to much more GAO!!!! Stay safe!!!

[@ILovePlayingZeldaGamesOnSwitch]

Missing Japan so much.luckily you are here to show us around

[@bearpancakes]

Hey Rion, just wanted to say I really love your videos. Your filming/editing style is improving so much, this was really nice to watch!

[@MarkPuke13]

Wow thank you this is cool harajuku has changed so much and added new malls

[@merkycruz8702]

That was a very uplifting message near the end of the video, Rion. We should definitely keep walking and walk together through this pandemic. Missing Tokyo and hopefully could get back when everything is okay.

[@mcblend5236]

I remember when i was the 254 th subscriber and now, so many people enjoy your videos ! Thank you rion i hope one day i see you in Osaka :))

[@efarayenkay8121]

Hi Rion, I miss the usual jolly background music that you used in other videos. Now seems to be like watching a documentary that schools make students watch and then have to do a quiz afterwards 😂

[@akiito9853]

Love the place 💕 i hope i can visit that place after pandemic

[@yadira943]

I am so glad i found your channel. I really enjoy your content!

[@RionIshida]

I am so glad that you found this channel too, welcome Yadira😆😊

[@RiaNavarita]

Dear Rion san, this video is one of the most peaceful video that you've ever made. Thank you so much. Please stay healthy and make more videos like this. I really enjoy this one.

[@stefficastandillo1469]

So happy that your channel keeps growing every time I visit 👏👏👏

[@metalgearbill8827]

Great video Rion. It has a really relaxed style to it and was edited well. I loved hearing about the history of Omotesando Hills, it would be nice to learn more things like that in your future videos

[@charfeddineadeliadh9205]

Magnifique vidéo.. Merci encore et encore!

[@ruthloar9885]

this video actually gave me and my husband a magical nostalgic feeling the shrine was so big and beautiful

[@perdomot]

Love Meiji Jingu and always visit there every trip to Japan.

[@roxannenacario6531]

Brings back memories.. 🥺🥺 hope to be back in japan after this pandemic..

[@Red.Aka-San]

Thank u for showing how it is now, very beautiful and yet very relax to enjoy the true moment feels like. Just thank u 😇

[@lalilulelo]

I love that you showed respect before entering the Torii gate despite having different religion. I know many religious people would not respect other religions because they believe that it means disrespect to their own faith.

[@catherinehargrave5142]

Tokyo plaza looks lovely. My plan after lockdown is to travel to London about one hour from my home, visit a museum and a favourite Japanese restaurant. Can’t wait keep safe x

[@kamilkollodi2060]

Wow, Omotesando Plaza so cool place to chill.

[@damon4000]

Those introspective moments at the Meiji Jingu Shrine make this video really touching. It felt like I was watching a Hayao Miyazaki production. So beautiful, Rion.

[@yongli5292]

Thank You Rion 🙏🙏🙏,,, Like always your video 💖👍👍👍 Stay Healty Rion 🙏😇

[@junkun1393]

japan is really beautiful! i hope on visiting this country in the future

[@kamilkollodi2060]

The Japan's nature is extremely beautiful. Great video!

[@marbleousmel]

That was a beautiful plaza. I have some photos from there.

[@twistedterns1101]

Takeshita dori seem to transform every year. I'm gonna miss the old harajuku station.

[@blacksheep806]

Love your videos, keep up the good work! I really like the wide angle lens you use, the quality is stunning!

[@RionIshida]

Arigatooo Blacksheep806😆 Ganbarimasu! Please look forward to the future videos too😁👍

[@marjorierubio7494]

Excelente !...este video fue diferente y muy espiritual, sigue así👍🏻

[@manreyscorner1296]

I visited that place in 2018 and so many changed since then. Its also different where the busy streets have less people. Thanks for bringing back good memories.😁✌️ Arigaooo!

[@tobias170409]

I visited these places pre-covid, so there were way more people. I really hope I could be there right now, to take those scenic pictures without having people walk-in on the frame

[@LuciaSoedirga]

Bring back my memories during my visit to Japan.. hopefully i can visit again 🤞🤞 thanks Rion for the video!

[@RionIshida]

😊😉👍

[@4leatherlaive690]

Your video make me miss Japan so much... 😥 Hope the pandemic will over very soon & please be tough, stay safe for a better & brighter future! Ganbatte ne, Rion-san 😉😊

[@dariusq8894]

I only go to Harajuku for one shop called A Bathing Ape in Lukewarm Water (aka. BAPE), a clothing boutique. They have another location in Shibuya, but because of their limited availability it's best to visit both stores.

[@Pixics]

That's an interesting name

[@marvinmercado2867]

The last part of the video is really touching. From your script to the background music. Missing Japan even more. :-)

[@iammarkjlee]

I miss tokyo, osaka was my last travel before the pandemic started

[@patrickoldan557]

I've been in Tokyo Plaza Starbucks and I definitely enjoyed my time in that open space sipping my coffee. Would love to go back soon. I miss Japan already.

[@roycck]

Nice Mr Rion

[@julietai7465]

You’ve captured the quiet, serene and zen atmosphere of Meiji Shrine. Lovin’ It! 👍✌🏼🙂💕🙏 Planning to travel, travel, travel after the pandemic.

[@RionIshida]

😆😆😆👍

[@an-artist27315]

The music so beautiful near the ending

[@RionIshida]

One of my favorite piece😊

[@tns-rox]

Your visit to the shrine was a peaceful, dream-like experience. It was just what I needed today. Arigatougozaimashita, Rion, for another great video, and for your beautiful philosophy of life. Very inspiring. 👍

[@bryancole842]

Rion-san, you have another great video here. Harajuku and Omotesando area are indeed "must visit " places in Tokyo. My first trip to Tokyo was in 1978, and as a young man I was immediately drawn to to Harajuku and have many great memories of the yakitori/beeru scene with friends until super late into the morning !!! Keep making these incredible memories for everyone to enjoy and learn from. Looking forward to my next trip[ in 2021.

[@RionIshida]

Arigatooo Bryan! Ganbarimasu😆👍

[@awelessawesome]

Was walking down these same streets exactly 1 year ago on my first trip to Japan, miss being there everyday since

[@lucyho4731]

Interesting memories of ur childhood experience.Spectacular Japan discovery.Places of interest was so overwhelming!!!😉Thanx Rion for sharing an amazing footage.🤗

[@RionIshida]

My big pleasure😊😁

[@devimarcellatrisna]

Yeayyy... see you Rion.. Soooo soooo exited as always.. Gaooooooo....

[@RionIshida]

Sweet! Gaooooooo😆🦁👍

[@joshuaashe7553]

Great video! Prayers and good wishes from the USA!

[@adrianangeles8974]

I super miss Japan! The last time I was there was last Feb 2020... thanks Rion for touring us again in Tokyo :)

[@RionIshida]

😉👍

[@mikes41720]

What an amazing message at the end, Rion! Thank you for sharing these amazing videos. I was able to travel to Tokyo last 2018 and I was able to check out some of these places such as Takeshita Dori, Omotesando, and Meiji Jingu shrine in Harajuku. I took a picture at the entrance of Tokyu Plaza, but I didn't know about your favorite spot at the 6th floor. I'll definitely have to come back someday. :)

[@85Meloyelo]

Hoping i can visit my okasan in Kanagawa this summer. I live in the USA so i try to visit Japan each year. Thank you for your videos they help me find local spots and not tourist areas.

[@chrissycorrea5967]

I thoroughly expect there to be a pigeon poop reference in every Rion video in 2021 now. 😂 It's the story arc we deserve.

[@dennistani1986]

Rion, thank you you another video!! Cases are going down, I think things are getting better . Have a great night

[@RionIshida]

Have a great night too Dennis😊

[@tinasmith6241]

Hello and thanks Rion, good morning from Texas, that’s was a quick live video, missed it but happy to rewatch it. Stay safe and stay happy, we doing sane here. Thanks for all you do🙏🏾👌🏽👍🏼

[@RionIshida]

Good morning Tina😊 Arigatooo, Stay safe and happy too!😆

[@KristaWasHere86]

My plan once the pandemic is over is to go to JAPAN :) Your videos will be my guide going there :) I cannot wait!

[@user-gu9ld6qh4h]

seeing the notification for this video made me so happy😭

[@kathee9910]

I'll definitely visit Japan after this pandemic...hopefully, it will be over soon 🙏

[@Pixics]

Yeah, I think people are getting tired of it

[@Chrisb8s]

what a beautiful message Rion! I love how Japan has some amazing respites with peace and tranquility. Harajuku can feel so hectic (when crowded) but only a few steps away, you can breath out and enjoy some quiet. I remember just watching a man sweep the gravel street of leaves in that shrine. I will answer your question I can't wait to go to a baseball game again when the pandemic is over or at least when I can. I have gotten the vaccine and have my get out of jail free card :) so maybe just maybe this spring and summer, baseball games outside are in my future

[@RionIshida]

Baseball games!! Nice hope the day will come soon😉😊

[@harryfreeman07]

The Shrine looks so peaceful and beautiful during twilight time 😊 I enjoyed your childhood story, i’ll remember to watch out for birds pooping when i come to Japan 😄

[@abbyg1631]

this makes me really miss tokyo :( when I went, I didn't even get to enjoy Takeshita street due to the time constraints that I had and because it was so crowded

[@tobynmanthorpe]

I laughed, I cried. Five stars. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

[@RionIshida]

Sweeeeeet, Arigatoooo😆😊
