WHAT TO SEE IN JAPAN | World Heritage Nature Sites (Kumano)

[@NatashaElle]

KUMANO WAS A STUNNER!! I always have the best time with Emma and her rocks... Thanks for watching! (/^ o ^)/~~

[@livingabovethe12th]

Natasha- if u r still editing all this stuff,,,u r a star. The editing is so good...all the personable stuff u keep in is what makes these great to watch. There are so many travel vids,,,the personality is what separates them. Just simple sh*t like you slipping out of your "presenter voice" into your comfortable accent,, Emma creepin' on the rocks...the magical intro...all that stuff is gold.👍

[@TokidokiTraveller]

The intro is amazing 😭 never thought I would be so happy to hear that cursed song hahaha, great job Natasha ❤️ the ketchup to my mustard

[@timlarsson]

Does it have to be so japanesey though? ;P

[@papaquonis]

You two are seriously just the perfect team for these videos.

[@TokidokiTraveller]

Tim Larsson 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Nynke_K]

It was so funny!

[@CRiTLanex]

What Song is it?

[@TokyoCreativePlay]

What did you think of our 2 Kumano City videos? It was out first time there and we can't wait to visit again! :-) PS: For everyone asking, here is the original Kumano song used in the opening! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHq6aKV6jqiSrdU

[@gilberado]

I was looking forward to the waterfall.

[@randypeterson566]

It was very beautiful. I would love to go to all the places that you go, but they aren't really wheelchair friendly.

[@bryandeacon782]

Keep up the cool-weather travel, keep up the mysterious out-of-the-way spots and keep Natasha away from Jizo shrines to avoid unnecessary edits. Good job. Keep it up.

[@eccentricdrea]

I loved both videos. Very informative, beautiful, fun, active and blue. I would of felt the same about the pebbles. Thanks for the tour! 🚴🌊🐻 Good job ladies! 😊

[@TheWanderingN00b]

I absolutely loved them! They made me really want to visit Kumano City when i get to japan! I would have to be a full on critic to find anything worth complaining about in your videos😊 Even trying to find something off (just to help give an outside view) I could only find a couple points where there was wind or waves getting picked up in the mics, and that's just a little bit of audio editing to fix up so really it's not worth mentioning until it gets bad. I love that the videos you guys make are always such a great quality! Thank you so much for the work you all do!

[@forbiddenfig4033]

"Hopefully I'll be able to make it... but I probably won't be able to bc I just CAN'T STOP TOUCHING THESE ROCKS." This is why Emma is my spirit animal

[@redoctober6521]

Kumano area looks beautiful. I’ll definitely add it to my “must visit” list for my next trip to Japan

[@FiveOClockTea]

Same :-D

[@RoyandAimee]

Love the chill vibes of this video! Thanks for sharing guys, we'd never heard of Kumano before!

[@Solcres_Joa]

Even with the more mellow and slow/chill pace of this video you girls knocked it out with your great chemistry and dynamic. Keep them coming!

[@theinvisiblegaijin1165]

i love the travel videos hosted by the two of you!

[@phunghia609]

I mean can we take a moment to appreciate that intro like omg it's so funny

[@annoyedwalrus7803]

TC videos never seizes to amaze. Great stuff!

[@abbie_doodlez8651]

You guys have such good chemistry and should do more travel videos together. I think as far as info, you have a lovely balance between tourist stuff and local Japanese things. Hoping to get to japan one day in the future.

[@friandia]

THAT OPENING 😂😂😂😂💖 I love the gal-pal energy between Natasha and Emma 🥰

[@livingabovethe12th]

I knew the Kumano theme tune would resurface....but I never imagined in such a sweeping cinematic and regal manner with that emotionally charged intro. I was def swept away by the majesty....the intrigue....the (bro)mance.

[@dolin2012]

This video brought me very good memories. I lived there for year, worked as an English teacher. Thank you for showing this beautiful part of Japan!

[@ArchAngel149]

Love the cinematography! You captured the places beautifully!

[@abluemug]

That intro brought me so much joy!!!!!!

[@evelyneweissenborn8231]

I've watched many of Tokyo creative videos and I think this one is the best because this one has the most BEAUTIFUL footage! Way to go guys!

[@mudslynger2109]

WOW. This video makes me want to travel there!...and Natasha's make-up is really beautiful.

[@yukat3206]

I love travel videos of Emma & Natasha. Cause you two are so charming & from the countries I have lots of memories❣️I enjoy listening to your accents😉

[@Ajlez]

I've never wished so badly that I could go to Kumano until I watched this video. The nature feeling looks like "home" to me.

[@evelinecarolinelienhuaming1184]

Happy Journey & Have a Nice Day!!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@alexanderorr2528]

These videos are even better with natasha in them, they vibe off each other well

[@yazaddastur8576]

11/10 content ❤️ never been there but I feel nostalgic for some reason? 😭

[@kristinwight8465]

That night time lapse was beautiful!

[@tacutacu2212]

i was a rafting guide there, and sometime i enjoy kayaking there. it was very beautiful place! and in the night i can see a lot of stars! i am living in OSAKA,but i love KUMANO!

[@nomadicmonkey3186]

Kumano certainly is a hidden gem of a destination among the Japanese and visitors/expats alike! I've been there about 10 years ago and it was amazing, although you've got to be extra careful making sure you check out the train timetable there since the last train was super early like 5pm, unless you're planning to rent a car.

[@josecaringal]

The cinematography in this video tho😍😍 It's so good. Teach me your ways onegaishimasu~🙏🏼

[@clairejones7929]

You two are too sweet honestly, such wholesome content

[@Nynke_K]

This was all so beautiful!

[@Andoron]

So beautiful, in the lockdown of the virus, when I cant just go any time I want, its so good to see these sighta

[@Krieghandt]

180 KM? Sounds perfect for Chris Broad's next adventure.

[@jellypopcorn]

Having a cameraman must be nice, the drone shots and editing were a good touch for the beaches especially!

[@garrytuohy9267]

I love the reusable hiking sticks. I usually have to find one along the way and hope I don't get stopped for taking something away from the forest.

[@zoomingjapan]

Yes, the Kumano region is really beautiful. I've been there many, many times. I wouldn't say it's less known, especially the Kumano Kodo is well known even among foreign tourists and there are always tons of buses full with tourists along the Kumano Sanzan, but apart from that it's a chilled and beautiful area. I personally especially love Shirahama. I've walked a lot of the Kumano Kodo, but never in one go. ;P

[@wxlurker]

That hiking trail looks straight out of ghibli movie! That retro karaoke opening cracked me up.

[@whyisthisathingnow...]

Hmm, may have to revisit Mie again.

[@vandriff]

Hi! Happy to have stumbled across this channel. Any info on the song at the opening? I have that melody stuck in my head and would love to hear more if there's a place to listen.

[@TokyoCreativePlay]

Here is the original MV for the Kumano song!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHq6aKV6jqiSrdU

[@fktyt2898]

GREAT WAY TO START THE VIDEO. i like it!

[@EnigmaDave]

3:23 Natasha! Please don't take your seat belt off for a better 2 shot! Yup, my paternal instincts are on full tilt rn. I just don't want anything bad to happen to you.

[@NatashaElle]

I'll be careful! Thanks Dave!! :')

[@kitt3526]

I'm definitely going to Kumano city next time I go to Japan!

[@JustGeorgiaxD]

This is on the travel list!

[@ShiroiKarasu634]

i think i should stay in this area a few days and also visit the Nachi waterfalls

[@SatanSupimpa]

The constant wearing of red and yellow clothing is something you talk about, or just a big coincidence? And is always a deeper tone of red, going a bit to the burgundy side, and mustard-ish tone of yellow.

[@epi1337]

Mustard and Ketchup :)

[@davidbullard3036]

No one: Not a single soul: Natasha: I mean we could go swimming.... Emma: YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

[@MrZaggy]

Kumano is strangely hard to get to from Osaka... It's probably 100-120Km 'straight-line', but it's just not that easy! Your best bet is to Shinkanzen BACK to Nagoya (about 45mins from memory) on the Nozomi, then head back towards Kumanoshi (3hr 15min to 3hr 30mins) on the Nanki Limited Express Kii-Katsuura. As someone who loves Osaka over Tokyo, its one of those places that is actually really hard to get there, where as most other stuff, that is farther away feels so close. Hiroshima is 1hr 30min, Kyoto is 12-14mins, Nara is 1hr, Tokyo was less than 2hrs 30mins. You can even be in Nagano faster than Kumanoshi. But if you're in Osaka and have a Car - woah! The Drive there alone is worth it. Again, don't expect to do the 170Km in record time (its over 3hrs), but there is tunnels and gorges and this stunning river that parallels the road, and an underground tunnel that takes you for a full 360degrees, then bridges and lakes and etc... The drive is an unknown, hidden gem!

[@simonhendriksjade]

Nothing like the sound of a Japanese ambulance before a hike.

[@Justicexch]

i want to see those stars!!

[@becks5867]

Let Emma sit and play with the pebbles 😂 I like Natasha’s earrings !

[@bluesunflower1698]

The editing skills are 🔥🔥🔥

[@eugenegreen9187]

Your WHOLE video is so gorgeous! Please, please, PLEASE tell me what kind of camera was used!

[@Isabella1680]

Added it to my Japan folder, I will definitely go to this place next time I travel to Japan. I want to see more than the usual spots now (*-*)

[@jdion79]

ah! got my emma saturday fix! like clockwork! thanks, all!

[@animeinsight7226]

Not to be confused with Kumamoto or Kumamon, oh how we love Kumamon.

[@TheCreepypro]

man this was dope and all the vistas blew me away I actually took a liking to the Lion's Rock even though it looked more like an eagle to me but it was beautiful nonetheless

[@CRiTLanex]

What is the Introsong called?

[@atarame9913]

Them chill vibes- what was that tune during the Shishiiwa part? ✌🏼

[@masamiyaleco]

The reason why the beach sand around Tokyo looks dark is it's made from volcanic rocks. Of course there are many white (granite, coral, etc.) sand beaches in Japan. And the sand of Shirarahama beach in Wakayama located near Kumano Kodo was imported from the Australian desert!

[@U_vejs]

10:48 that was to funny 🤣🤣🤣

[@anniehoangcreates]

The intro is priceless hahaa XD

[@rickdeckard7098]

Please release the full karaoke pv of Kumano ga Suki!

[@wazsan]

Yo that intro was fire

[@Woolookologie]

OMG YES THIS SONG I often got an ad with it, the vibe is so good ans I love the dumb lyrics

[@MajorAddiction]

Kumano kodo area was my fav

[@PotatoGawds]

loved the intro

[@laineyyo6862]

That intro thoooooo XDD

[@XeiAudiMusic]

Suki Natasha & Emma 🙌😆❤

[@jdion79]

Can't wait to watch this tonight when I'm completely piss drunk!

[@atarame9913]

Lmao good plan

[@jdion79]

@@atarame9913 the TC vids are always a good wind down after a night of hard drinking. It's a weird rhythm I've gotten into on my Saturday nights... probably not the healthiest either! Yikes.

[@SarahLovesJapan]

This intro 👏🏻

[@PenPeng]

Kumano keeps putting ads on KZbin for me but the ads are 4:3 and look straight up like a VHS video or like they've used the same video since the 80s :D You did a great job parodying that

[@rodaxel7165]

"Stone Asmr Content" 😂

[@xXMasterChrizXx]

Natasha!!!

[@XSpImmaLion]

I died with that intro. xD

[@travislayes6024]

Pretty

[@ZOMUESA]

what is the best way to get there if you are from KIX?

[@melaniejaneprocter5529]

The rock looked like a old man screaming to me. 🤗😍💖💖📸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kevindiggscomposer]

Does anybody know the name of the song in the biginning?

[@XeiAudiMusic]

NATASHA: "I dont know whether i wanna touch...." EMMA: "ding!" NATASHA: "okay, we're touching." 🤣🙌

[@garrytuohy9267]

Do people usually just pass through Nagoya without staying over?

[@aibadotcom]

Not necessarily. Last December, I traveled from Hida Takayama to Gifu City before heading to Nagoya. I stayed 1 night at Nagoya before flying home from Chubu Centrair airport. From what I heard from other tourists, many of them like me, travel from Hida Takayama to Nagoya and stay a night or two in Nagoya before flying off from Chubu airport. Nagoya also has a Dome concert venue so people going Nagoya for concerts would stay a night or two there too. I've been to Nagoya twice, my first being a day trip from Osaka and the other was the recent 1 night and honestly, there wasn't much sightseeing places that interested me. That doesn't mean they will not interest you though. But the food is awesome! They're famous for hitsumabushi (eel rice bowl eaten in multiple ways), miso katsu (pork cutlet with miso sauce), kishimen (noodles), tebasaki (chicken wings), tenmusu (tempura shrimp in a rice ball), miso nikomi (udon in a miso broth) and ogura toast (red bean paste and butter on toast). So I spent most of my time shopping for souvenirs and eating when I was in Nagoya.

[@kw1901]

Nice

[@keivkamijo]

12:00 I would kill just to take a ride on that road

[@martinfarrell7010]

500m is not 5km,it's half a km :3 1.5 hr timelapse though! What a commitment!

[@dickjohnson4447]

They looked so happy when they reached the point of jizo 😰

[@ronin_9]

I miss Natasha and Emma 😣

[@TopAnimeLoverEver]

Hey Emma, is it "disrespectful" to not bow before entering a shrine? I had not seen people bowing before entering a shrine, only bowing when praying. This is the first video I've ever seen that. I know many things aren't a requirement, especially for foreigners, but I want to respect every custom as much as I can when I'm in Japan. I entered 2 temples while there last and did not bow and I feel very bad now? Is it disrespectful to the god of the temple?

[@doogelyjim8627]

"thank you natasha" "okay"

[@amberwebb975]

Emma quick question how many of those stones did you take home with you 😂

[@GainHP]

What is this intro song?

[@jporfirio_]

What’s the name of the opening songggg

[@livingabovethe12th]

I think it's that song that was driving them bat-shit insane in the previous Kumano vid. Its like the Kumano promo theme tune. So they took the piss out of it a little bit with the silly-fun intro montage.

[@apredator4gb]

I think Natasha is pretty neat as well.

[@katotoku9232]

whats the name of the intro song ? xD

[@Vingauld]

Welcome to the ricefields...

[@ShiroiKarasu634]

where is shiori

[@Jim58223]

Point of Jizzo. Natasha knows.

[@YokoFujioka]

*makes a face* 'let it go' NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *instant like*

[@NatashaElle]

omg... midotaka as your DP i just had to comment HAHHAHA (they were my life....)

[@simonhendriksjade]

She's the female version of Ryotaro 🤣🤣🤣

[@cuddlemegently]

Isn't that beach the one from Bunny Girl Senpai?

[@troyw5832]

☺😊😀😁😂5 smile's

Would love to take a trip but money is a big issue and im currently broke.
