Merry Christmas and have great 2021! Or like we in Germany say: Fröhliche Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch!

[@TheOrionSound]

the deer that bowed made me very happy

[@TokidokiTraveller]

It made me very happy too 🦌

[@3DJapan]

Lots of them do that. 😁

[@akirebara]

Went on a day trip here from Osaka. Its a magical place. There's also a huge bronze Buddha statue that's right in the park (the statue's hand is bigger than an average-sized human). But yes, those deer are relentless when they know you have the crackers.

[@LaNoir.]

They are "trained" to bow for the crackers, it's like dogs giving paws

[@AABB-jj2zf]

when the deer said "eeeeeeeee", I felt that

[@Error-fe7tw]

Why the heck "In the mighty jungle" popped in my head after reading this comment.

[@jase276]

I thought the sound was it letting one rip

[@carlsage8198]

"It's decaf and soy-milk so it does nothing." Made me smile!

[@HarpistinJapan]

i laughed at the point hahaha XD 💜💜💜

[@RTGame]

Merry Christmas, thank you again for the raid this morning!!

[@punished_snack]

Wow I didn't realize Emma also follows RTGaming, small world lol

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Merry Christmas Daniel! Haha anytime, thank you for another year of excellent content 👏🏻☺️ おつかれさまです！

[@rampager89]

@@punished_snack RT used to live in Japan after all. hes commented on other videos too. maybe when things get better and RT visits Japan sometime a IRL collab can happen haha

[@rob-bot]

Sarah's head darting into the frame when talking about seeing Fuji, is the right kind of nergy.

[@TokidokiTraveller]

We respect some fuji nergy 😤💪🏻

[@jamiea.m.3037]

The emissary of Chris Broad would like it known that he has seen Mount Fuji. XP

[@jb0258]

We are here to spread the word to all

[@Aiken47]

The deer are easy to manage, you just need to think about the signals you do when you’re about to give them or are carrying rice crackers. It’s no different than dog training principles. Don’t put you hands in your pockets unless your going to feed the deer, don’t hold crackers unless you’re going to feed the deer. Just show them empty hands, make them bow to earn the crackers. Don’t make any movements that look like you were about to feed them, they get confused and frustrated. There were so many tourists I had to train how to work with the deer calmly. The deer aren’t the issue.

[@JordanKZ]

I was in Kyoto (around Arashiyama) in March when it was absolutely dead. It was my second time visiting the city, and honestly, I loved it and it totally changed my image of Kyoto. The first time, I actively disliked it because all of these beautiful places were overrun with awful tourists (not that tourists are awful, I just experienced some particularly bad ones). I realise that businesses need the tourism, I get it, but it's just utterly impossible to enjoy with the millions of people that visit every year. I can't imagine living there the entire time. I realise that I myself am a tourist in Japan, but I at least try to respect the places I visit, and the people I interact with. Talk about a double edged sword :)

[@Comicssss_233]

I know Emma must be working so hard to edit these, but that simple "No" 13:49 got me so bad, I'm laughing so much it hurts, I can't stop smiling at ittt!

[@patrikhjorth3291]

Emma, you're very deer to us viewers too. Have a Happy Whatever you're celebrating.

[@Fishylucifer]

Everytime I see Emma I'm just like "I wish I had a friend like her." Those Deer were so cute.

[@zewise1]

Sarah is such a wonderful addition to the team and you seem to enjoy having her around. That's good

[@EnigmaDave]

BOLD ASSUMPTION: At 17:37 Emma tells her mum that she has 18,000 photos on her phone. Her first video from Japan was posted Feb 3, 2016. That's 1,785 days in Japan as of Dec 23, 2020. From this, we can determine that, on average, Emma takes and retains slightly over 10 photos per day, every single day.

[@abidatarafdar7598]

Could also be screenshots and pictures sent to her by other ppl tho!

[@EnigmaDave]

@@abidatarafdar7598 True. We'll never really know what photos Emma has on her phone. Just the average number she takes/keeps per day is an amazing stat though. She's living a much different life than I do.

[@tyranitararmaldo]

That robot looked very tsundere. Angry expression, but blushing.

[@winslow8779]

I loooove the new editing/video style, Emma! Long time viewer (not much of a commenter) and I've loved your videos for years, but it's especially fun to see your style grow and change, and I love seeing you lean into your quirkiness while still balancing beautiful Japan content.

[@Laura_Darkspear]

Merry Christmas!! 😃 Sarah screaming for help from deer channels all of us in 2020, doesn’t it? 😂 Loved the fishing village footage... ah, the music and scenery was just what I needed to hear/see on my lunch break at work. Very chill.✌️

[@hi_becky_]

You and the deer bowing to one another was so cute!! 10/10 content all around, Emma. We love to see it!

[@NimrodClover]

I do like it when a video creator has the level of awareness that they answer the question that forms independently of the actual theme or content of the video. About 0:33 I started to wonder to myself, "is there something wrong with her eye?"... then she answers that question a few moments later. Very nice and that shows a degree of video maturity that most do not have. Oh, the deer are so cute, especially the one that bows for crackers. (I know many do it)

[@aboudmarzouki1551]

I've been laying in bed sick since morning, and have a lot of exams to study for so I was really depressed, so i really want to thank you and sarah for brightening my day it's just so nice when you two are together, thank you again, and merry Christmas❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Nynke_K]

I hope you feel better soon and good luck with the exams!

[@aboudmarzouki1551]

This was such a lovely video, very well edited and put together! Never visited Nara, but definitely want to make my way next time I visit!

[@nicktaylor9553]

I LOVE THESE WEEKLY VIDEOS SO MUCH AHHHHH Merry Christmas Emma!!! And to everyone else watching

[@vany.vy33]

Does that deer 🦌 moving his head to get the biscuit? 😲 incredible! All your vlog video makes me want to visit Japan as soon as possible 🥰

[@garrytuohy9267]

Love the camera work AND the editing. Especially the shot of the Shinkansen passing the hotel window.

[@nurbzee]

first time watching one of your videos - and I love the editing! also that no-touch glove machine is absolutely genius! 🤩

[@neanight222]

That was such a chill, relaxing, beautiful video! Loved it! All your hotel rooms looked really nice and comfy. Wish you a wonderful holiday time and a great start into the new year! ⭐💖

[@Datura63]

dude each one of your videos has so much personality Emma, I love your styles!

[@XSpImmaLion]

Lovin' the stylin', and Sarah is fitting right in... sounds like a very fun travel bud. xD Merry xmas to you guys, thanks for sharing the fun awesome sights! o/

[@MusicFromAnotherTime]

I'll never forget the time I was in Nara and like 4 deer started chasing me because I had a hot sweet potato. I made the grave mistake of giving them a nibble. They followed me for a while... Great day.

[@Melissandrel]

Hahaha, I have about the same memory from last year, my friends made a GIF with it XD

[@PigeonCarriere]

yeah one stole my banana

[@nafslee]

So you made 4 new friends just for having a sweet potato? Damn.

[@MusicFromAnotherTime]

@@nafslee I guess in retrospect it was like 200 yen so I guess it was worth it financially.

[@peachesto6643]

Hi from Toronto, enjoyed watching this vid, very entertaining. Wishing you all the best on this holiday season & a new year full of love, peace, health & prosperity.

[@bzipoli]

emma, i haven't been around your channel for years and now that i've come back i gotta say your videos improved sooooo much. script and editing are top notch! congrats and happy 2021

[@hannahlise9120]

Looking forward to the Kyoto video! Glad you had a lovely trip with plenty of sunshine and good company 😊

Nice editing and funny captions! Thanks for this joyful video. Merry Xmas and a super 2021!

[@alphamike87]

Great video Emma, it's awesome you got to spend time with Sarah. I hope you two had a great time in Kyoto and Nara.

[@SANDEMANsFreeTours]

Thank you for this! It reminded me of a magical trip to Nara. Really appreciate your effort. Folks will never understand how much time and labor (of love!) goes into your videos. Thanks for making windows into other parts of the world, for connecting us, and helping us all see the magic in that which is different and full of wonder. You rock!

[@Sophie_Cleverly]

This made me cry because I miss friends and travelling so much 😭 but it was also cute and funny which cheered me up again 😅

[@princess-violet]

Re-watching this, alongside the memory of recent Sara content. I really want to go to Nara. It looks so beautiful ! and the temples

[@alexYJZ]

It's always so relaxing watching any of you video . Stay safe Emma

[@kittyvu88]

I'm loving the vibe you're bringing Emma! The video editing 👌also that hairstyle is giving you a whole new personality! Looking forward to what 2021 will bring for you :)

[@ravenslament622]

That shot of the deers, looks like it had the most amazing antlers ever and that deer bowing with you was so magical like the scenery. Emma it's been wonderful seeing your travels around Japan this year you did an incredible job despite the virus. Stay safe and well this Christmas may it be a peaceful and joyous time for you and your friends. Looking forward to more adventure with you and the gang in 2021. Hugs

[@borntobegeek]

This was such a nice video. You and Sarah have a great dynamic together. Merry Christmas!

[@brideoflister]

I am so here for the obvious "will they, won't they?" between Emma and This Guy

[@NeroFuckingRiot]

I've noticed you smiling more and seeming to be more happy since you have started to film with Sarah 😊 Also, did anyone notice that as Emma is eating the weiner danish that Sarah is mimicking eating it as well?? 🤣

[@chloestuck]

I’ve enjoyed watching your videos this year. You’ve made my year a bit happier. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Emma!

This video gives me the smiles and the laughs. Today is a good day. :3

[@ditfos]

A big ol' Merry Christmas to you! I always look forward to your content here, it's top notch. I catch streams when I can, usually on VOD, but wouldn't say I'm a regular (yet). Looking forward to seeing all this editing come to fruition through TC, client vids and this channel! お疲れ様!

[@Grimsy_Max]

Thanks for the trip! Can’t believe the number of beds in that room ... Anyways Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!

Still loving the hair. I hope you stick with this length, it’s so flattering!

[@monkiss77]

Aww the deer are beautiful, and the one that bowed to you! So cute. Love your videos with Sarah. Can see how good friends you are. Kyoto is such a pretty area. Been loving your videos recently (not that the older ones are bad) just having more humour injected into the videos, and the uplifting music makes it more enjoyable to watch. Keep em coming

9:28 Don't know about windows but one apartment I stayed at in Osaka had the shower room attached to the living room with a frosted glass door. Some if you're in the living room and someone showering gets too close to the glass you can pretty much see everything.

You getting chanced by the dear was funny 😄 it was so cute that they bow too didn't know they could do that. That room you hot was amazing was it very expensive? It was so big and you could cook there too. Happy Christmas 🎄 🎅🎁😀😍👍👍👍👋👋👋XXX

[@XSpImmaLion]

So very much agreed... been to Kyoto back in 2008, and then in 2018. Not like I resent tourism, because obviously, I'm also a tourist, and it's a major source of income for so many people there, but man, the Kyoto back in 2008 when Japan still hadn't exploded this much in tourism was so sooo much better. The experience I mean. A bit self centered of me I guess, but it's like a whole other vibe when the touristic spots are not too full, or even completely empty. It gives the perfect atmosphere, tranquility, relaxed state to really take in all the beauty...

[@redoctober6521]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours too! /Fuzziest mugging in my life was from the deer in Nara, glad to see that they’re doing okay //may 2021 be so much more than 2020 wasn’t ///take care, stay safe, be well

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to one and all! P.S. Is Emma doing all her music for the vids? In previous video she was taking online music lessons right? Anyway the music and vibes were really good, especially with the still shots of the river. Skills.
