Visiting the "ox" shrine on New Year's Day 2021 / Kitano Tenmangu Shrine -Kyoto Family Vlog

[@LetsaskShogo]

We are planning on posting two more videos about New Year by January 7th! I hope you can look forward to it!

[@ayk6639]

Shogo, your English is spot on. You must have lived longer than six years in the USA for it to be that good. Your daughter is very fortunate to have parents who are trilingual as well. Thanks for the New Year's visit to the shine!

[@gwillis01]

Science has proven that you learn languages faster between birth and age ten than you do as an adult

[@charliecat5686]

Yay! Run Hinata run, lol! She is having so much fun! Speaks well for both of her parents. She knows that she is safe and stays by your side even if she doesn’t hold hands. Precious family memories!

[@opimus]

Your kid cracks me up.

[@seppe593]

Your daughter is adorable. And the three of you seem like a happy family. Happy New Year, and all the best to you all.

[@massvt3821]

Your wife's listening skills for English are pretty impressive...and she's fluent in Japanese and Chinese, too..

[@jonkomatsu8192]

Arigato gozaimasu! Honto arigato! Wonderful to watch your family's outing to the shrine for Oshogatsu. And to see the ume trees too: Dogen wrote about the plum trees and blossoms with the passage of the New Year and the approach of Spring. What a perfect way to observe the New Year. Hopefully next time you visit the virus will be a mere memory and we can also experience all the great food on offer. And Hinata is too cute! Hontoni kawaii! And also been observing your steady subscriber growth--10K is rapidly approaching. Great job! And another great vlog. All my best and the Happiest New Year to you and all your loved ones. Mahalo! 🤙🎍🎋

[@cricket8438]

Your daughter is precious! Your wife is BEAUTIFUL and you are very nice looking as well. Love love your videos! Thank you so very much.

[@raf155]

Happy New Year! And thank you for your delicate, nuanced and accessible sharing of Japanese culture.

[@jimsmith5148]

I really love Kitano Temmangu Shrine, I go there every time I visit Kyoto. It is very beautiful and calm there, even in the highest season it does not have such a huge number of people as in other popular places. The story of the life and death of Sugawara no Michizane is very beautiful and fascinating.

[@bearpancakes]

Happy new year! Your family is lovely. Thank you for sharing this shrine visit with us!

[@Pheeusje]

Shogo, I'm so happy I've stumbled across your youtube channel! I'm one of those 60.000 tourists ^^ and had the honour of visiting you in September 2019 for a tea ceremony. I've been missing Japan ever since my trip there, so finding your channel (and a familiar face) made my day. I wish you and your family all the best for 2021!

[@nickegbg]

Very interesting video. Your daughter is so cute! 😊

[@like90]

I really appreciate that you translated the things that the booths were saying so that I could fully enjoy the New Year's shrine experience.

[@seikaesthertanaka5557]

[@dakotatwilight]

Thank you for taking us along on your first New Year's Day visit to the shrine in 8 years. It means a lot to me on many levels. May you have a blessed New Year of prosperity, health and happiness. Did I catch that there is another blessing on the way? Your Daughter Hinata is just so adorable and cute.

[@avroml]

It was very kind of you to take us with your family to the shrine. It was a lovely walk in excellent company! Thank you!

[@Nobiemon]

Happy new year!! Just found your channel and I loved this video! I really love Kyoto since I was a 留学生 between 2003-2004, but I only visited this shrine in Nov 2018. Unfortunately I didn't know you were supposed to pet the cows... Oh well, maybe next time!! Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪!!

[@Manoahmanolo]

Happy new year! I recently found your channel and I love it! I lived in Kyoto for 3 months, doing some research at Kyoto University. I really want to visit again soon after Corona is finished! Would love to learn more about tea ceremony and samurai culture :)

[@vnkcek]

新年早々素晴らしいチャンネルに出会いました！登録しました。日本語を教えているので学生たちに紹介しようと思います。これからも楽しみにしています。パパ大好きな娘ちゃん可愛い💓

[@Jordan-inJapan]

明けましておめでとう！ Cool shrine! I haven’t visited one yet this year, because...pandemic. I live near Ise, so I (fairly often) visit the JINGU. But not this year...I’ll probably visit a smaller local shrine sometime over the next week. Take care! 🍻

[@axelpersson8122]

Shogo, you seem so kind and I really love your videos! Keep up the good work!😊

[@andrewfenn2916]

Very fun video! Thanks for making it.

[@jarethgriethe4439]

Only recently found your channel and while I'll almost certainly never have a chance to visit Japan myself it's a wonderful experience to be able to experience the videos. Thank you for uploading them and helping people understand the culture a bit more. Also, you have a beautiful family, may all of you have a wonderful year.

[@eugeniokakias1193]

Happy New Year ! and thank you very much for your excellent videos ! Congratulations ! You have a lovely family !

[@kagamisan9952]

Hachiman was an emperor before geting enshrined and other nobles to they are alot of other people at least emperors who got enshrined before michizane though I am a believer in shinto or kami no michi the basic point is that people got enshrined since ancient days they use to believe that mountain gods were past ansteters and they would enshrine them in in shrines but thank you for sharing your visit may the kami sama be with you happy new year

[@veronikacsuri1629]

This is one of my favourite places in Kyoto. Last time we lived near to it :3 Thank you for showing it in winter!

[@Alex-ty8zd]

[@briancrosby152]

Wow shogo San your channel is getting so close to 10 thousand subscribers! So cool I am proud of how far your channel has come 😁

[@aokagaspideypool8797]

I'm a little late but Happy new year to you and your beautiful family!!! I'm planning to go to Japan this summer, so this video is very useful especially when it comes to the C19 topic! Kyoto is one of my destination (of course 😏) so I wanna ask, what are you recommending me to visit? Is there any festival at summer time that I have to attend on? Anyway, looking forward to your other videos and thank for your hard work!!!

[@sarabarraperez9402]

[@gwillis01]

hello Shogo

[@wingedbull1257]

Your Daughter she is Adorable.

[@catherinebutler4819]

A very charming video - and an extra like for the use of ‘thrice’! I’ve been to the related shrine in Dazaifu and Kameido Tenjin in Tokyo, but so far not this one. It looks lovely.

[@biciburns6910]

New subscriber here! I had been binge-watching your videos for the past few days. Loved your work ethic, eloquence, and your passion for your life and family. I've only been to Osaka but you made me think of visiting Kyoto lol Keep up the good work and say hi to little Miss Hinata :)

[@douglassmith6663]

[@minispace1]

Bus 203 - so familiar. Like I was there yesterday ;)

[@tiffanieelek8740]

Arigatou gozaimasu Shogo San

[@jeetendraa7646]

The Ox sitting facing the shrine seems to be a direct influence of "Nandi" Ox that sits facing the temple of God Shiva...

[@bruhmomenthdr7575]

Shogo:😀 Harumi:😀 Hinata:👁👅👁

[@lll8638]

Almost at 10,000...

[@designgal1207]

Cute

[@YoukaiFofo]

Both of your English is so good I appreciate you showing us your culture and knowledge about the ox shrine あけましておめでとうございます！ (о´∀`о)

[@andresfukazawa]

Thank you for posting this video! I used to live in Kyoto for a few years, but never came around to visiting Kitano Tenmangu. :-D

[@AlexKS1992]

You know I’m a buff when it comes to history and it seems like the biggest animal that is revered more than eagles and tigers is oxen and bulls.

[@lordsakai3450]

Hello, and Happy New Year ^^ I found your channel yesterday, and I'm watching as many videos as I can ^^ I loved how you share some of the japanese culture. You deserve many more subscribers. Well, if you could (and if you want to, of course), could you make a video about Shintoism? I am very interested in Shinto, I think it is a beautiful spirituality. Unfortunately, there is not too much literature about that in my country (Brazil). As far as I know, there is only 1 book translated: The Essence of Shinto: Japan's Spiritual Heart, by Motohisa Yamakage (I have read this book, but I'd love to hear more about Shinto). Well, that's it ^^ thank you and I wish much happiness to you and your family. ^^

[@tazmokhan7614]

Are they burn as offerings after the shrine is closed?

[@renggustar7309]

can you make videos about ninjaz and famous assassin's pls.

[@douglassmith6663]

Hope people are sanitising there hands after touching the statues ,😯
