Tokyo's Hidden Pacific Island | OGASAWARA ★ ONLY in JAPAN

[@blazingroseninja9574]

Man I got emotional when the locals said goodbye and I'm not even there.

[@JustMyHobbies]

yeah, me too.. :D

[@eminealmadani4897]

Same

[@fvckablebvtt]

Samesies 🤧

[@Michimama60]

I did too!

[@Specter1065]

I think your shows are BETTER than PBS, the Travel Channel, and the Discovery Channel combined! Thanks John!

[@mlr2263]

I think so too.

[@ericbazinga]

I remember I saw John on PBS once

[@joytobias-christo9490]

I agree... now a big fan of your channel. please keep up your excellent job

[@lisastewart8566]

@@mlr2263 hhhhhhhhh9999 ok ok

[@Shanaoh]

And then WAO RYU! took over and ruined everything

[@jarigot1885]

That ending was beautiful. Makes me wanna go there more. Such warm people.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Yes, it was the most amazing good bye I've ever seen. The bye with the helicopter at Aogashima broke my heart too ... but this ... was hard. And beautiful. The warmth here is real.

[@jarigot1885]

ONLY in JAPAN I think Kanae San would love Ogasawara. Will you take her there anytime soon? Looks like a nice romantic place for couples. You don’t have to film it for us. I’m eagerly waiting for the dolphin and shark videos, I also thought I’d see the man and his ‘pet’ stingrays in this video. That was so cool. I also loved your Aogashima episodes and live-streams. It’s there in the list of places I need to visit that I write down after watching your videos lol. Also will you be visiting only Mumbai during your visit to India?

[@hovanti]

They are wonderful...I lived in Japan 2.5 years, and still miss it, even though it has been 32 years since I left.

[@TKR001]

I also felt like leaving family behind... sitting in a room 10000 km away. Awesome video John!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thank you. It was sad for me to edit this too. I miss the island - a lot.

[@ThomasJaatinen]

You can really feel all the emotions at the end. What a great video, and a high quality production like always. Thanks and try not to worry too much about the KZbin stuff!

[@countocram]

Locals waving their goodbyes to the ferry made me emotional. I wish I can visit Ogasawara one day.

[@vanshchoudhary4673]

Oh my God!!!!! I have no words to describe the awesomeness of the video. Its sooooo good. I have watched all your videos but this is by far the best.Absolute genius. Booking my ferry. John you have now increased my expectations from you so keep up you hard work.

[@tenthtennant8935]

damn i felt i was leaving the island with you at the end :( Bless you kind people of Ogasawara

[@faanengaaw7357]

im a Pacific islander frm Micronesia & i must say that is truely a Pacific islander send off!! they still have that in them!!

[@tangchiprathomo819]

Those waving acts warmed my heart. Respect.

[@smimtiaz4556]

Woh.....How beautiful the Pacific is!! The colour of water & the calmness of nature makes this Island like heaven...Japan is so amazing..

[@larissa8326]

I cried with that warming, kind and friendly farewell. It really seemed like they are leaving family behind. You come as a guest, and leave as a family.

[@mics1377]

You can see the love and attention given to the video. Glad to have contributed a little part in your experience John! May more people experience Ogasawara!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thanks for joining me on the trip here and in the live streams when I was actually on the island. We've come full circle :) ready to go back again now!!

[@user-tx6vx3tw7n]

In Ogasawara, there is a dance called Nanyo Odori, which was introduced from Oceania. Watching this dance, which is registered as an intangible cultural heritage of Tokyo, makes you feel as if you are in Micronesia.

[@fingerluck]

The send off made my tears out. Amazing Ogasawara! Thank you so much John!!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

What was your favorite part? Is there something more you'd like to know about Ogasawara, Tokyo? Leave me a comment below :) Ogasawara is one of the most incredible places I've been to on earth and I'm glad you enjoyed the show. Oh, I do have a lot of location photos on instagram: instagram.com/onlyinjapantv and if you'd like a postcard of Ogasawara, I am sending them out as part of the postcard club on Patreon: patreon.com/onlyinjapan the support is how I could finance this trip. Part 2: Under the Ogasawara Sea is coming in November. -john

[@nnlillionca]

I love how they welcome you with the steel drums or steel pan instruments

[@amnottabs]

1:50

[@sabbyreloaded]

Definitely the send off. This video was one of your best. Shared with all my friends

[@Terry.....]

Im sure it is the ending for many viewers.

[@buddaah8322]

Of Course the ending,, But i also like the crystal clear water

[@samuraiheart8201]

How can people be that warm? 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ I love your videos so much! This channel deserves an award!!!

[@pinkywinky911]

I’ve been living in Japan half my life and I have never heard of this place. It looks freaking gorgeous! 😍

[@DeofolLock]

Wonderful video John, sorry you had issues with the premier. Hard core fans will find you! I couldn't wait for my lunch break to watch!

[@firestar1728]

A wonderful piece of work John. Love it when you truly venture to the farthest corners of Japan not many tourists can reach. With such a grand welcome it doesn't resemble regular Japan at all. Great snippets of history and wonderful scenery make me start to think ahead to when I can get over there but oh man I know facing that mass farewell would make my heart melt. Congrats John, another Ace!

[@MrFelixify]

This channel is so amazing! i can't believe it doesn't have more subs and views. it's so well produced with amazing interesting facts. Makes me want to go to Japan. what lovely island and wonderful people.

[@pinkywinky911]

I literally got teary eyed during the send off by the islanders. 😭😭😭 I’m going to Okinawa this December coz my sister and her husband are stationed there and will be leaving in April, but my next Japan island visit will definitely be in Ogasawara. The people are so lovely and warm 😭 I’m so emotional atm I can’t 😭

[@that_random_beaner5673]

pinkywinky222 nice! But to be honest, Okinawa is nothing like the main land of Japan and are your sister and her husband Air Force, and I ask this because most Air Force people go to Okinawa

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Woah! Watched the Strange Parts video, saw that this will mess up your video and changed to simply PUBLIC - I will do a live stream on ONLY in JAPAN GO now about this. Sorry for that - john

[@UFOBobTV]

Got it. Thanks.

[@Heavyrain211]

Good choice turning off Premiere! Use it only for smaller videos (where you don't care about ads/views).

[@10gordyflynn01]

Good choice. i'm sure everyone will understand. Maybe when KZbin irons out the kinks, the premiere feature will have a lot of potential.

[@jadecummings8093]

That's very cool!

[@kimagurelife_kennosuke]

I'd like you to upload about characters or words such as 'emoji', 'karaoke', 'bokeh', established in the world from japan on the this channel.

[@redsquirrelstudio6018]

Seriously makes me want to visit Japan even more! I don't know whether it's the Celt in me, but seeing all the respect for nature and the loving goodbyes and welcomes just touches this Pagen's heart ;W:

[@SavannahVu1985]

Toybanaza well said 👌

[@MolyBDenum-lh3wy]

Absolutely wonderful work John!!! This video felt so surreal seeing the remnants of war and all the beauty and people that has managed to thrive! Good Job as well for making me tear up at that ending..

[@achilles_148]

Hi john!! I love your videos and it has truly inspired me to visit Japan!! I am going next month!!! Cannot wait!! Thank you so much for your awesome content! Keep up the good work and we are lucky to have you!!

[@01Yiyi]

ABSOLUTE LOVE IT!!! The people, the lifestyle, and the scenery is beautiful!! I would be lying if I didn't feel emotional towards the end... So good it made it to my bucket list!

[@georgestone6562]

Just found this story. I was on Chichijima in 1958. Only US Navy CB's and a few natives. All wood buildings and no paved roads. The Navy personnel were allowed to bring their dependents after they built housing for them. One very small PX, ran by native woman and an outdoor movie screen. Enjoyed your presentation and looking forward to others.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

George Stone I am working on a scuba diving episode of Chichijima right now! Miss my friends from the island. Thank you for sharing a little of the history from before the handover in ‘68! I had to dig a lot to find what I did and I really want to preserve as much of it. We found an all copper enclosed room inside the mountain (entrance on the back side of hill through the tunnel from the port). I wonder if you know what that was used for? It’s well hidden and a real mystery.

[@georgestone6562]

The tunnel and a lot of the caves were closed and fenced off. There was still a lot of weapons and ammo that had not been retreived by ODT. I don't knoe when it was cleared. I was aboard a salvage ship that had rescued an LST off of Ewojima. We brought it to Chichijima for repair, since it had a protected harbor.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

George Stone interesting! One of the locals living in the back side of the mountain (other side of the runner from the port) took me inside the mountain where there is a copper room! We’ve no idea what it is but made me wonder what such a room was for. The island has some many stories and so many mysteries! Looking forward to going back again maybe in 2020!

[@Shoujan]

such a beautiful place... and a wonderful video!

[@ericcc48]

Thanks for this awesome video from Ogasawara, thanks for all the good works John! Much appreciated! Love from Hong Kong

[@cosma_one]

John, this video is amazing. I just can't express how great it is. Keep up the good work. I hope someday I can visit Japan and Ogasawara.

[@Yumecha36]

I got so emotional towards the end, I shed a few tears. That Island is a beautiful place, I definitely plan to go there in the future with my friends, or by myself.

[@mostafaaly5218]

That send off for the ferry is truly amazing! The people really make this beautiful location a paradise. Can't believe that KZbin isn't promoting this great video more!

[@theresapepanio3819]

Huge thanks John for all your awesome and amazing videos regarding Japan. I haven't get there but thanks for your videos it really helps me a lot to see how beautiful Japan is. Keep up your awesome work. Pls take care and God bless you!

[@alexistruong3123]

Hi John and congrats for your beautiful report. Been following you from France since a long time ago, and it is a pleasure to see how you improved the quality of your reports. Well shooted/framed, good video editing, good balance between written & spontaneous/live speech, great music choice in accordance with the topic (eg: music chosen when speaking about japanese air raid shelter.. well it works so great !) :), the feeling to have a 360° overview of the place you visited and so on.. Amazing guy doing an amazing work within an amazing country ; you make me travel from my sofa, encourage me to catch my dreams, and thank you for that.

[@bruno2756]

I watched the livestreams back then but getting to watch the finished episode is even better. Great work !
