What it's Like Near my Home in Northern Japan 🏠🇯🇵

[@sharlainjapan]

Thanks so much for watching guys! 🤗💕 Planning to take you out and show you more of my town soon! :D

[@christinanieto1104]

I love your videos. How easy would you say it is to get around in Iwate and Tohoku? I am planning to go to Tohoku on my next trip to Japan and am wondering if I should just rent a car for the trip. Are things pretty well connected with public transit? Is parking easier/cheaper than other areas?

[@Robinguitarded]

I love the outdoor videos!

[@melaniejaneprocter4826]

Hi Sharla Wow I could never walk up that hill it would hurt my back to much. Love the onsen place what to go in one to see if it would help my back and left arm. Q: are you aloud in with tattoos? Can't wait to see more of your town. 😀😍💖📸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ericjaynes8142]

I'd love to see more of the surrounding area, and Sapporo/Hokkaido if possible. I feel like so few people actually visit parts of Japan north of Tokyo. It'd be great to get some travel ideas for when I visit the north on my next trip. :)

[@Nynke_K]

Yes please!

[@kellyxx3288]

One of the best things about your channel is that we actually get to see Japanese places and food. Real things. It’s not all just fashion and beauty. I need to find more channels like yours. It’s kind of hard to explain.

[@GoNorthJapan]

That was so much fun! Thanks again for coming! I'll plan more adventures!

[@sharlainjapan]

Thank YOU for planning such an awesome day for us! Can't wait for the next adventure :D

[@mikeu5380]

(Hi Quinlan! This isn't my real name, but you kindly administered my daughter's personal uni exam a while back... ; )

[@GoNorthJapan]

@@mikeu5380 Hi! Are you sure that was me?? I don't remember every administering any personal uni exams. But thanks!

[@HammerDownUnder]

@@GoNorthJapan maybe you have been sleep administering??

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Hi Quinlan, have you ever come across any venomous snakes in Japan?

[@Helvetica09]

So... You live in the Canada of Japan 😂

[@sharlainjapan]

Basically😂

[@takumi_forever7072]

I was gonna say that but it's not like the entire canada is full of natures and river's or trees aka Toronto!.

[@keandric2765]

Which is actually pretty funny given how she's from Canada XD :)

[@unlokia]

@@keandric2765 I wouldn't say it's "funny". If you think about it, this makes absolute sense, as it has all the things you'd miss from Canada, so therefore maybe she misses home less because of it.

[@keandric2765]

True :)

[@CandieBolton]

This was my favorite part of the trip and I'm super thankful I could go with you and Quinlan~!! Thank you so much for having me tag along, it was an amazing experience.

[@sharlainjapan]

I’m so glad I could show you somewhere outside of the Tokyo area!! Can’t wait till you can come back for another visit :D 💕

[@Dancerstar852]

Love your hair!!

[@Dancerstar852]

@Ronove Somebody's jealous

[@kammymarie13]

@Ronove Yes because people that dye their hair unnatural colors want it to look natural....

[@kammymarie13]

@Ronove Funny I dye my hair blue because I think it's pretty not because I want attention. If anything I wish it didn't bring so much attention to myself since I'm a pretty shy person. Either way I think you should lighten up a bit. It's not healthy to worry so much about how other people choose to decorate their bodies.

[@suinjapan]

The people there are sooo friendly and everything is sososo calming!! I get headache so often here in Tokyo...

[@sharlainjapan]

Yesss love how friendly the people are up here❤️

[@11_224-w]

Kumpir why do you get headaches?

[@rafaelramirez2030]

Kumpir at least you live in Japan, I’m jealous of anyone who has visited the country

[@suinjapan]

11_2244 I really don’t know. First, I thought it’s because of the typhoon season because the weather creates a low air pressure here and many people tend to have headaches here. It got better now but I still comes back if I’m just 1% stressed for some reason. I can’t explain it. I thought people are overreacting but even for a city lover like me it can get too much for my body! 🥺 I try to stay sometimes at home now and it’s really helpful!!

[@suinjapan]

Rafael Ramirez If you really want to, you can also do it and visit this country. I don’t know your situation but even if it takes 10 years, don’t give up!! ♥️♥️

[@SaraJPark]

His voice is so calming somehow

[@Missblackparade94]

I fall more and more in love with Japan the more you show us! I can’t wait until I can visit all these places one day!

[@chiefKOSTJA]

As stunning as the scenary is, the prettiest is still Sharla!

[@rielamarcellis]

Great video. The Goshogake Onsen part were you guys walk the path with all that steam coming out and the mix of green and brown leaves in the background was beautiful. Thumbs up for the drone shots!

[@GaijinQuest]

Love the drone shots as always! Very insightful :3

[@beckyperkins7393]

Oh my! Beautiful! Loving all the colors. What a beautiful day you had. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@beverliekay6180]

I liked how knowledgeable Quinlan was. Very beautiful area of Japan as well 👌

[@katiavandam8435]

Quinlan was of course knowledgeable and a excellent guide to have along on this video. He appears to know the area very well. I would of never known about Quinlan blogging videos (GONORTH Japan), if it were not for you featuring him on yours. Your friend seemed nice and shy, but wondered why she did not participate more.

[@catr8253]

Loved this video!!! I love your day trip kind of videos.

[@tammi6771]

I'm sure those abandon buildings are full of some interesting stuff. I love hiking. The view was so beautiful! His face when you compare the wagashi to play dough lol

[@krisrowan]

Not usually an outdoorsy girl but watching the areas you have been exploring lately has made me want to see and explore them for myself one day.

[@billosterjr.3848]

Absolutely gorgeous scenery, loved the drone shots. Thanks again for being my eye's into such a lovely country.

[@SSJShadow]

You are continually reinforcing my want to travel up to the northern parts of Japan ! Keeping my eye on flight prices and hopefully one day soon I'll be able to check out the area, those views were stunning with the fall colours. Thanks for sharing!

[@nonnieiona8593]

I’ve made up my mind: I’m coming to Japan in fall! Fall is my favorite season because of the colors in nature and I’m guessing Japan will beat all expectations 💜

[@TheNaomeister]

Somehow actually managed to catch this early enough to be one of the first comments! This is a great video to finish off with before I finally get some sleep, so thank you so much, Sharla! I'm glad to see you traveling more and experiencing the wonders of the countryside again! It's SO FRIGGIN' PRETTY!

[@wendysmith6184]

such beautiful country side , thankyou for showing us.

[@deedd4401]

next time if you encounter a bear, stay still , keep staring right into it's eyes ... take out that tiny wagashi bear and bite it's head off :D :D :D

[@sharlainjapan]

😂😂😂

[@sunsettersix6993]

Thank you, Sharla! Your videos have inspired an interest in learning more about Japan, it's culture, food and people in me over the past couple of years that I really appreciate! Arigatou gozaimasu!

[@CandycaneBeyond]

I loved the little pop up you used at the top of the mountain

[@sharlainjapan]

Thanks :D Just bought some new effects for my editing program!

[@KirkKiyosadaTome]

What gorgeous scenery! Thanks for a glimpse of the lesser-known parts of Japan, Sharles!

[@sharlainjapan]

My pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@claudiasalmoran8804]

The aerial views of your video Sharla are aaawesome!!

[@Jug_or_not]

Great video! Looking forward to seeing more videos exploring your surroundings

[@srrfounder1]

The tori gate was mostly likely a horse hitch post, commonly found in rural mining towns! ~Mikio 💚

[@ruffnight]

thank you Sharla for introducing Quinlan to us, I have been looking for more things (hiking ect) to do in North Japan when I come over next year.

[@iscreamcandy1161]

Thanks for the video Sharla! I look forward to seeing more videos of where you live. It looks really cool and the scenery is amazing 😃😃

[@11_224-w]

Thank you Sharmander! I thoroughly enjoy your exploration videos. So much fun.

[@Mommet98]

"that's interesting ay" -possibly the most Canadian sounding thing I've ever heard you say

[@BLOODPILOT1]

Thank you for showing something more than Tokyo in Japan, I have been interested in the north part of Japan to see the sights there and nature, you are gorgeous and very kind to share your experience online with those of us who are working non-stop year around this is a rather nice way to find out small things for those of us who are trying to make time to travel to Japan hopefully soon. Glad to see you do more with yourself this year after everything that happened in your life, keep at it and succeed in everything you endeavour and strive in 👍

[@sharlainjapan]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words❤️And I'm so happy you're interested in the North! Love sharing it with you guys :)

[@BLOODPILOT1]

@@sharlainjapan my pleasure, your videos are always so relaxing to watch and insightful of the little things us foreigners miss out on while investigating on sights to see in Japan, I plan on visiting Kyoto sometime next year if I get some down time, hopefully 🤞 thank you for replying, have a pleasant evening over there, keep up that beautiful smile, days are only getting better for you 🤘👍

[@BumbleBee087]

I love seeing this hiking footage! I don't know if I can ever to someday, but hope to! Thank u for sharing it with the world :)

[@calxtra5361]

Gorgeous views from the mountain Sharla! Thank you to Quinlan!

[@princess-curan9449]

I just love your videos. Everytime when I need to come down I just start any video of you and all my problems seem to go away. You inspiried me to learn japanese and put money away for a nice long trip exploring japan. I want to visit japan in two years and I will start in the north, because you showed me how beautiful it is. Sorry my writing skills in english aren't the best, I'm better at speaking and understanding it.

[@rainiexrice]

Quinlan is such a good tour guide! If you ever find yourself in Hawaii, you should visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island. You can see lots of steam vents and there are a few great hikes, one of which is across a huge crater!

[@kaifreya]

I always like your videos before they get a chance to start, because I know I’m gonna love it!

[@sharlainjapan]

Aww I really appreciate that, thank you😭🙏🏻❤️ Helps a lot with the YT algorithm if videos get a lot of interaction so that really helps me out☺️🌸

[@Ravienon]

Always loving to see some abandoned places so the mining town was great to see

[@sharlainjapan]

They’re so much fun to explore😍

[@Mercuryscomet25]

Fab video as always! Greetings from a very grey and damp England. Watching your footage of such a beautiful part of the world helped make a dull day better!

[@OnlyDoniaUKnow]

Wow the colors are so nice! Autumn is the best. Looking forward to more of Iwate!

[@sharlainjapan]

Aren't they amazing!? The leaves are insane here! Starting to fall off now now :(

[@MageThief]

I love Iwate, I go there every year, mostly in Kitakami but I do travel to Morioka regular. Also I have near hiked as much as I do in Iwate, the nature and mountains are so beautiful, both winter and summer time. Can recommend Geto Kogen Resort during winter (west, south west of Kitakami) and during summer the Geto Onsen (outdoor mixed onsen)

[@midnightkitty8172]

Thank you for showing us this, Sharmander. Like many people, it is very unlikely I will visit the places you show us within this lifetime, so it is very nice to see them here.

[@idotechno]

Reminds me of when I visited Yellowstone for the first time back in May. Very low traffic, and suprisingly warm. The Grand Prismatic spring was completely shrouded with steam and it was like a rolling fog. The smaller springs you could see easily, though. :) It was amazing. I cant wait to visit Japan one day!! I know the land has great beauty! I want to hike the mountains there.

[@briyawnuh]

Videos like this make me want to take 2 months off work and take in as much of Japan as possible wow what a gorgeous area

[@lngridTube]

Wowza, Sharla! I don't know what you're doing, but you're really looking good! You're looking better in this video than I've ever seen. (I've been one of your lurkers for awhile and have watched most of your videos.) Thanks so much for these roadtrip videos. Iwate looks so beautiful. You've convinced me of how wonderful rural Japan is. If I ever visit, I will be sure to include the countryside for a large part of the trip. Gurl, whatever you've been doing for yourself, keep it up because you look GOOOOOOD!

[@sharlainjapan]

You’re too kind, thank you so much😭💕

[@rai7988]

Ill be going to japan for university in about 2-3 years so i hope ill be able to travel all around it and see these beautiful places for myself too!!

[@colleenm9188]

Great video! Thanks so much. The drone shots put everything into perspective, and it just seemed so lovely and relaxing. You had great companions, too, it seemed!

[@ellixo]

Omg, the nature in Northern Japan looks soo beautiful, I really wanna go there so bad!😍❤ Thank you for showing us all of these amazing places in Japan, Sharla😉😊👍🏼

Hi Charmander, Char 🔥, I really like how sharp your camera quality is! Keep up the great work. Keep on vlogging! I will try to follow your progress whenever I am free and out of work.

[@christinepease890]

Fabulous treks thank you, Sharla, and friends have a beautiful week x x x

[@berrykage]

Adding this to my list of places to visit in Japan after travel opens up in the US. Probably in like 27 years 😩

[@vilvero]

That was some amazing views, so beautiful!

[@RaeginNP]

There is no graffiti on those buildings, they are still in good condition (given the time and every thing they must have been through). Just the no graffiti really gets me. Here in the states building that people still live in or use get graffitied. Japan never ceases to amaze me with all the little things. Also I was wondering if you could do a "plant based or vegan" convenience store haul video. I've always wanted to go to Japan and I know especially with traveling finding simple things to munch on especially being vegan can really be a life saver. I love your videos !

[@migchielfaber49]

love the droneshots makes the vlog so impressive

[@sharlainjapan]

Thank you for watching💕💕

[@puentecorto2688]

I posted a comment to Go North Japan. a Former residence of those apartments, now living in NYC. It is almost a half century ago, we left the mountain. We used to ski, hiking all over Hachimantai area, but they all gone.

[@sharlainjapan]

Oh wow that is so interesting!

[@JK-lr4su]

It has only been a few months since i have been in Japan and i already miss it so much.

[@pandora4078]

Your friend looks just like Wayne Goss!! All of those places look beautiful..Japan is one of the places I have always wanted to go. When I was in high school I was obsessed w old time Kyoto...My bedroom was painted in cherry blossom pink and I had a huge Buddah statue/lamp that my grandparents got me in Chinatown. My whole room was nothing but Asian decor and Kirk Cameron posters..It was the 80's..lol

[@Rickt2445]

It is so beautiful up there in the fall. Where I live in northern Utah it just skipped from Summer to winter this year so not many leaves changing colors here. And also to you ski or snowboard Sharla?

[@sharlainjapan]

I like snowblading! Have you ever tried it? A lot easier to control so good for people who suck like me haha

[@Rickt2445]

No I haven't tried it, I've mostly snowboarded. But I've seen lots of other people on them. many say they like it more than traditional skiis. I've been wanting to try though for sure

[@perdomot]

The onsen place reminded me of Owakudani in Hakone where they used to let you get real close to the hot areas.

[@mikeu5380]

Hi from Takizawa! Nice intro to our region. Thanks. I've watched those Matsuo ruins decay for the past 30 years, and never tire of paying them a visit each time I do the Aspite drive. By the way, since the structure is decaying, I strongly recommend wearing some sort of head protection-- falling bits of ceiling hurts! (Hi Quinlan! This isn't my real name, but you kindly administered my daughter's personal uni exam a while back... ; )

[@KariHaruka]

Just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying your videos since you've made back to Northern Japan. I don't really know how to put it into words without it sounding bad? But having been following your videos for the past 7 years now, it seemed as though you lost interest in Tokyo during your last couple of years there. But I can certainly see just how much you're enjoying life back in Northern Japan and that really comes through on your videos :)

[@sharlainjapan]

Yesss I definitely prefer the countryside❤️

I just got back from Japan and I hated Tokyo (I'm not a city person at all) so I spent the last day I was supposed to spend in Tokyo on the shinkansen and headed up to Morioka! I only got to walk around the station a bit but it was so gorgeous I would love to come back again. I would love to go hiking at this place! Is it easy to get to with public transport or is a car necessary?
