We Were AMAZED, Traveling to Japan's Countryside 🇯🇵 Yanagawa (Kyushu Island)

We were amazed traveling to Japan's countryside! We decided to do something a little different and rented a car from Fukuoka to drive to the small town of Yanagawa, also known as the Venice of Kyushu. We were surprised that not many tourists visit this romantic little town as there's a lot to offer! Join us as we explore the canal city of Yanagawa by boat and try a 150 year-old recipe for grilled eel.

Note had me crying laughing with his version of "Hero". Love you Flora and Note.

[@FloraandNote]

Who knew that would be his go-to song? 😂

[@akikog3629]

I’m Japanese and still didn’t understand what he was saying! 😂 He’s such a character!! Love it!

[@FloraandNote]

Hahaha good to know 😂

[@chaw294]

What an amazing boat ride in Yanagawa. Truly love the part where Note took over the rowing and his singing had me in stitches 😂😅 As always, interesting video with great content. Thank you very much for sharing, Flora & Note 🫰✌️

[@FloraandNote]

We're lucky Japanese people are so polite and kind, so they clapped for Note's singing as well 😂

[@soyumyum1514]

I really love that you guys put the prices of everything and explore the smaller gems of the countries you visit!!

[@dominichill1492]

It is so cool to see Note driving in Japan. The food looks so good and well made. $27 USD for the food was a good price. Those hats are beautiful as well. Flora and Note I love this Japan series, and thank you both for bringing it to us.

[@FloraandNote]

We loved our tiny car! She was so fuel efficient and super comfy to sit in. Driving in Japan is quite relaxing.. we might plan another road trip next time :)

[@soyumyum1514]

That boat ride interaction was so wholesome and I didnt expect Note to start singing 😂😂

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

The unagi bento look very delicious. The canal ride was very calming. Very enjoyable day in Yanagawa. Thank you both for the video.

[@cathyholt5215]

I can't wait for my own adventures in Japan in March. The eel looked wonderful! Fun video. ❤

[@ronbeaubien]

I like how the boatman was basically just mumbling to himself while getting the boat ready before setting off. Ha! 🤣

[@FloraandNote]

He mumbled his way through the tour too! The only silent moment was when Note started singing and that left him in shock 😅

[@leeleng1458]

What a place! Never been to this part of Japan,I made a promise to visit on my trip. The highlight of this video was Note rendering his hit song! Really love this video.Thanks.

[@FloraandNote]

It was really nice to come to Kyushu after being in the busy cities. We wish we spent more time here but unfortunately our Japan series is coming to an end soon. One more episode to go next week 😉

[@SamFournier]

Awww I loved this! Looked so relaxing. Note when he started singing 😂😂😂😂

[@FloraandNote]

We think you guys will really like Kyushu 😉 Lots of beautiful nature and quieter towns.

[@mariojsworld]

Great trip from Japan's countryside.

[@wherearewe-yt]

We didn't get to see much of the countryside when we were in Japan. Otaru was the closest we got to "small town vibes" in Japan. Yanagawa looks super nice. 😍 Also, we want that eel! Yummm.

[@koromaru3]

あと、うなぎの肝吸いには柚子が入っています。うなぎの肝の匂い消しと香りで風味を出されていますね。うなぎは今や高級品なのであまり沢山は入ってないかもしれませんね😢昔はいつでも安く食べれたんですが…

[@rsn7847]

Hahahhaha Note singing was hillarious 😂😂😂😂actually the whole ride with that Japanese man mumbling was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂

[@susam4991]

Enjoyed this too. Love you guys ❤❤❤❤

[@johngagne986]

How much fun was that! Wonderful day

[@stephenworthington-white8294]

Super food jealous here!! Unagi is one of my favourite foods of all time!! Happy Travels

[@FloraandNote]

Then you'll have to come to Japan for the best unagi!

[@MichMichMe]

Oh my gosh! You guys! 👏👏👏 So cute! Now I need to find some bbq eel for lunch❤

[@pvdogs2]

Another fun video!!

[@jenramos172]

The “oh yeah” got me while Note was singing Hero. lol 😂😂😂 Definitely a must see area in Japan for the next trip. So peaceful and relaxing. ☺️ Stay safe and enjoy your adventures. 😊

[@FloraandNote]

It's a cute little town for sure! If you don't want to drive, you can easily get here by train as well 😊

[@jenramos172]

@@FloraandNote That’s good to know. Thank you. 😊 Definitely putting this on my must go see places in Japan. 👍

[@pikk0n1]

Thanks for making this video. I am planning a driving trip for my next visit to Japan. This video helped a lot! Parking is one of my concern. 😂

[@FloraandNote]

We were surprised there isn't much street parking in Japan so most of the time you'll have to look for parking lots.

[@kathleenhui3665]

😂😂😂👏👏👏Note so cute, you make up the love song, don't you😂

[@VacuumTubeThunder]

👍🏼Nice video. I can’t understand what the boatman is mumbling about, but it’s entertaining 😂

[@lindabuck2777]

Was laying down to watch your vid when news of 7.5 hit Mindinao, Philipines. Tsunami warnings are up for them expected to hit around mid nite. They stated that the wave is expected to hit Japan too. I was concerned so said prayers as I found you were there. Hope you’re safe and have shelter no matter what takes place. Love you guys want you’re safety health and joy!!! Ok goin to watch your vid.🙏🏻❤️Note-you sing so well! 😁your navigation skills most excellent driving flying etc, on the water with bamboo stick; not so much😂. I have tried eel every way possible and say-NOT my cup of tea-more for you! Please, eat it all lol. Beautiful town. I would take the boat ride too as it’s a very peaceful way to explore other areas, even if on the edge. Safest travels🙏🏻❤️

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you for thinking of us, Linda. We're safe and sound 🙏

[@daidang2326]

Note is very cute ❤

[@nelsonmkawakami3760]

I laugh from left to right. Not sure u r still in Fukuoka, hopefully you can show us more. Felt this place is under rated. Something we have not seen before. Thanks

Thanks!

You're so kind 😂

note you are so funny singing HERO made me laugh

[@FloraandNote]

No one saw that coming for sure 😅

[@FavsRefresh]

Is Note going to stay there and be a the rowing man / singer going forward? haha! So funny! love watching you guys. I can't wait to go to Japan next year!

[@FloraandNote]

Haha he needs to work on his singing (and rowing) before he can make a living off of it 😂

[@maomama5980]

Sound like drunk Japanese Oyaji😂 But he says I say the same thing everyday, I was shy at first but use to it😊

[@lau2A68]

Thanks for this amazing video. We’ll be taking the train to get to Nishitetsu Yanagawa Station and will walk to the boat station. We’re taking the one way boat ride & not the round trip one. How do we get back to Nishitetsu Yanagawa Station from the end of the boat ride? Do we take a bus or walk back to the station?

[@FloraandNote]

Sorry we're not sure about this. We drove there and parked in town so we've never been to the station. Maybe it's best to check some travel blogs to see how they did it. Good luck!

[@lau2A68]

@@FloraandNote No worries. Thanks

[@j.k.6148]

I see where Note his name ! He’s a “Hero” !

[@W.i.l.l._Nguyen]

I feel that old Japanese people have their own unique dialect...so even if you can speak Japanese, I think most won't understand half of what they are saying and are just filling in the blanks.

[@nypatech]

you needed a Fluentalk device for translation... lol. another great video.. 🥰

[@koromaru3]

船のおじいさんが言っていたのは、 「この川には鮒も鯉もいます、魚がいます。私は喋りが上達しました、なぜなら毎日私は同じ事をここで話しているから。😂 若い頃は恥ずかしくて言葉が出ませんでした。」ということを話されていました。😊 あとはあまりにおじいさんで滑舌悪く何を言っていたのか聞き取れませんでした。特に橋の下。😅橋の説明をされてはいましたね、30cmくらいとか話されていたので。愚痴はこぼされないと思いますよ😅

[@ronbeaubien]

If I had to guess, I would say that that is probably not lemon in the soup, but more likely to be yuzu.

[@FloraandNote]

Ohh possibly you're right!

[@user-xu1jv3vk6x]

👌😊

[@Cimi-t8d]

Pls turkey shes good turkey! Plss im from turkeh

[@shrimpchocolate]

Even for me who actually was born and raised near this neighborhood, his Kyushu Japanese dialect is hard to catch because of his mumbling way of speaking. lol

[@FloraandNote]

Haha interesting! 😂 I wonder if the others on the boat understood him or not.
