Bonus videos, book club & writing updates ✨ / christyannejones
Hello and welcome to another video! On our recent Japan trip, I was finally able to travel back to Hakone. It's been FOUR whole years since we travelled to this peaceful little onsen town. We had a maigcal day: visited a traditional tea house, went to an onsen and just enjoyed the lovely area around Hakone.
I love Hakone as many of you know--it's a perfect Tokyo day trip. And, if you're planning a trip, I hope this gives you some ideas on what to do in Hakone! I hope you all enjoy this cozy vlog 💛

im sorry but I CRACKED up when you slipped right after saying how to not slip hahahaha

[@ireneschoonwinkel8738]

Can I just say...I LOVED your facial expression after you slipped! Commenting on your past self...super funny! I'm glad you didn't get hurt or eaten...and that you had such a lovely time! Thank you for sharing your trip with us Christy!

[@everausten]

I can't believe all of that was just one day! What a beautiful and magical day though. Thank you so much for all of this beautifully shot and edited, sensory stimulating sight seeing! ✨💛✨

[@erniesandoval9669]

Loved the onsen experience.

[@sylviejanelewis]

so glad i discovered your channel! this is such a lovely video. will you keep making content about writing your novel? i've found those so inspiring and comforting

[@christy-anne-jones]

Yes! next Sunday's video will be another author routine attemp, and then a little after that I'll do an update vlog on Project Teacup 💛💛

[@canaldaeli_]

What a great feel-good video. Actually, I'm enjoying watching all of your videos. I'm currently binge-watching them. 😍 Thank you, Christy!

[@JS-ms5uv]

The music you selected for the background while in Hakone perfectly captured the feeling of that area. Perfect, just perfect. Thank you

[@danwong2191]

Been to jjapan a bunch of tines but your videos are perfect for when my mind wants to, ''escape' back to Japan. They capture its magic perfectly

[@AdrianasWonderland]

Beautiful, beautiful walk Christie. I really wanted to buy your book but it’s so expensive here in Poland. Someday I will buy it for sure the video was beautiful. Also I’m going to Japan in two weeks and I’m so excited about this. I wish I could meet you there ha ha ha have a beautiful day

[@kettle-and-acorns]

Seeing you go around on adventures and chilling out in the world make me sooo happy! Thanks for sharing all of this!

[@steffe2444]

I wish I saw this when I was in Japan last month.. I was in Hakone Feb 1st just for a day trip and I could have done the onsen at that place too as I passed that hotel that day. Love Hakone! Went there in January 2020 and stayed for a few days and fell in love w Hakone and onsens. Take care!

[@Curious-traveler]

This was from your recent visit right? I had a magical experience there too. I’m glad I stumbled on your channel. ❤🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

[@northcrafthouse]

Hakone is actually where I got engaged to my now husband! Thank you for taking me back to this magical place! Its such a lovely and stunning place :)

[@PeterJames468]

So glad you made it back to Japan, we all know how much you have missed it. You capture the most beautiful scenes and present them to us wonderfully. Thank you for sharing your joy of being back in Japan.

[@MartaCanPixel]

This vlog was absolutely beautiful, so I feel weird commenting on the convenience store onigiri right at the start, but I basically used to live on onigiri when I lived in Japan and seeing you open one brought back so many memories!

[@zuzilichious]

Nice to see you in Amazake Chaya again. When I went to Japan a few years ago, I went with my friend to Amazake Chaya based on your recommendation from earlier videos. :) It was absolutely amazing!

[@mariasadecka164]

This is what I needed today! Perfect video to unwind and relax. ❤

[@Akiko7919]

I love your videos so much with all of my heart! Your channel is my comfort place, you and your channel hold a very very special place in my heart! I’m glad you enjoyed your trip to Hakone, since it has always been my dream to go there! ❤️

[@chloeryder3080]

I’ve never heard of an onset before so I’ve been learning about them since this video! I love what these Japan blogs are teaching me, an onset sounds so lovely and meditative 🥹

[@mirandamarquette1438]

*tears up* ahh i can't believe it has been this long since you talked about feeling proud of yourself and how you felt so excited because it was your first paid writing trip! that video was one of the first times i specifically remember feeling silly proud of a human being i didn't even know in real life. crazy how time flies and things change and grow. and now look! you're a published author with a sold out book and working on another. aww heck *tears up again*

[@shinewithanu4836]

Your joy in being in Japan is tangible. I loved every minute of this video Christy. 👍🏾😃Deb

[@QInspiredLife]

loved the pirate ships! thank you for sharing these beautiful places :))) I hope to go there soon!

[@su-yi8392]

Glad you didn’t get hurt, Christy! How nice to recover with a hot onsen!!Really love that we stumbled upon your channel, you make such calming and aesthetic videos and you’re lovely to listen to! We’re heading back to Tokyo soon and this makes me so excited to rediscover parts of it all over again. Well wishes to you and thank you for sharing!💕

[@EverDifferent]

Thank you for sharing your experience!! It allowed me to recall our trip to Hakone back in 2016, where we did 80% of what you showed, only backwards (+ a private outdoor onsen in a fancy ryokan) 😅 I wish I had filmed and made a vlog for myself back then, it’s such a shame I didn’t! This alone is a good reason to start vlogging I guess… anyways, I’m glad I have your channel in my subscriptions and can reminisce about my Japan adventures now that I have two small kids, thank you! 😊

[@17caria]

Thank you for sharing so much with us!

[@samiinsf]

i love when i see notification of your video on my youtube 😍😍

[@clarejean3309]

me, too. I stop whatever I'm doing, whenever it's writing my novel, playing a game or watching a movie, I stop it and come straight to this!

[@soyevquirsefron990]

It’s awesome how happy you are to be there

[@karnajitlaitonjam9110]

Miss Jones I'm falling in love with ur videos

[@wawahals]

I don’t know woman, I never imagine to go there but dunno now eh, your story telling, you making me falling in love with Japan! ❤

[@nowgaku]

I know you're happy durling you're in Japan.

[@monavc8962]

What a wonderful series of vlogs to watch to get back into your videos again. I don't think 20 minutes have ever gone by as quickly as when I watched these. Side Note: Christy, you are absolutely radiant. Maybe it's the post-onsen glow, maybe not. Just worth mentioning.

[@SteveJubs]

Absolutely lovely 💖

[@milenecardoso7827]

Thank you for sharing! The onsen experience looked so amazing 🥺❤

[@brontekelleghan6353]

Enjoyed every minute of watching your and Tyler's travels, Christy

[@thebookbelle]

What an incredible vlog - it makes me super excited to go to Hakone in May! x

[@christy-anne-jones]

I hope you have a wonderful time!! 💛

[@asan1050]

Christy Anne Jones ThanksMuch!

[@ClaireDeLune2848]

In the past year or so, I've really become interested in Japanese culture. I hope to visit Japan for an extended period (maybe a month? Fingers crossed!) in the next couple of years. Will definitely buy your book to see what else you recommend and learn more about your personal experiences in Japan!

[@clarejean3309]

another great video! I always and still do love to go to Japan, I think it is one of the beautiful places in the world (despite never been!) I love studio ghibli movies and kingdom hearts and Final Fantasy games (other anime movies and shows, I even watched a japanese drama called Mother (2006, I think.) and another one, tomorrow mom won't be here and a few more here and there, I also have a few favorite Japanese singers such as Koda Kumi and Utada Hikaru. i honestly can't wait for another writing vlog, you help me focus through them especially during a writer's block. my novel, Fallen has got 70611 words. (it's gene is a fantasy/romance novel) I'm currently on chapter 20 and only got six or five to go (originally the novel was suppose to have 25 chapters, but it went to 26 on the first draft and I'm hoping it'll be the same.)

[@andreabrischigliaro5377]

Ciao Christy Anne Jones qual è il tuo piatto preferito per curiosità?

[@firewalkwithme90]

Nice! I'm planning a day trip to Hakone from Tokyo as well. I've been wondering though: does it make sense to purchase a Hakone Ticket, even though you can only visit for a day? I planned a similar route to yours and I'm not sure about the prices and the overall timetable for my trip.

[@lenapoul8228]

Nice 👍

[@ReadingNymph]

'Don't get eating by a bear' - duly noted 😅😅

[@LifeofaQuinn]

loved this! can’t wait to see more from your group trip soon 😆 why’d you cover up your tattoo if you’re also wearing a sweater? just wondering what people with a lot of tattoos would do 😅😟

[@LifeofaQuinn]

ope nvmd just got to the part of you explaining what an onsen is hahaha

[@andreabrischigliaro5377]

Ciao Christy Anne Jones qual è il tuo pokémon preferito per curiosità?

[@andreabrischigliaro5377]

Ciao Christy Anne Jones come va?

[@daejabermudez4692]

im a new subscriberso i dont really know, but do you speak Japanese and / or understand?

[@RosesAreDead_0]

Your videos are always so relaxing to watch :) btw I have a question for you, so hopefully you don't mind. What program do you use to write your novel? I've just started writing my book, and I would like some recommendations on what writing programs that are available. ✨🥸
