Thank you for the update!!
No one understands me but this shit makes me cry fr😭 So so beautiful with wonderful people and an amazing culture ‼️💯 Definitely need to visit Japan before I die 🙏🏽

Thank you,👍👍👍👍
Thank YOU!
A much more affordable (in terms of both cost and time) alternative to the Seven Star of Kyushu
That’s true! I’d love to ride the Seven Star someday though 🤩

Hi! Did they allow you to have lash extensions? How long can you not wear make up? Thank you!
Hi! When I asked about lash extensions they said it was fine but I spaced my appointments out longer than usual just in case. You shouldn’t wash your face or wear makeup for the first 3 days after the surgery. I used baby wipes to clean my face but avoided the eye area
お疲れ様でした、ありがとうございました。
ありがとうございます💞
Not only tattooed and colored hairs dyed.?
What is your point
meaning is some onsens prohibit customers with brightly colored hair dye and visible tattoos.
I’m aware. That’s why I asked the hotel staff
Thank you for sharing nice video.
I like Ajisai. ( 紫陽花)
Me too 🥰
Glad your eyes are doing well. Some beautiful footage, so jealous of the hydrangea
Thank you!! Do you have hydrangea back home? 🥹
@@franklinthewoman Yeah, they are super popular and we have many plants in the garden, but they are pink and I want blue haha
@@nataliepriddle9909 I totally understand haha
I NEVER PAID TAXES FOR 10 YEARS AND NEVER EVER NO ONE SEIZED ANY OF MY ASSETS OR FREEZE MY BANK ACCOUNTS, WHICH CONSISTS OF A COMPUTER AND APPLIANCES LOL, MOST RIDICULE TAX EVER. I GUESS THE MAFIA TACTICS ARE NOT TRUE.
I was a little surprised to see you with full sized camera and lens on a gimbal. A lot to like about the advantages of better low light performance, stable shots, low distortion, editing flexibility and sound options. Thanks for choosing to make room in your bag for the channel.
I mostly use the gimbal for short form vertical videos but I do use that camera and a go pro for longer videos too!
I recall my biology lessons: Endothelial cells form a single layer within all blood vessels, and they regulate the exchanges between one's blood and the surrounding tissues. They're a kinda fancy filter that handles gas exchange and other tissue products transferring into and out of your blood. Very special cells that play an important role within our bodies. I may be in the minority (I usually am), but I follow you for you. Not Japan or anything else. It's just nice seeing how people's lives unfold over time. Especially ones even wild bunnies trust. Thanks for posting!
You’re better than google or chat gpt! 😂 I think it’s mostly the instagram and tiktok audience that are like “we don’t care post more japan” since for the shorter videos people are just doom scrolling
手術すると聞いてから、大丈夫だったかなと気になってました。無事に済んだようで安心しました。
気になってくれてありがとうございます!!

They have a basket with them that you can use for pics 😆
📍 Ashinomaki Onsen Ookawaso 会津芦ノ牧温泉 大川荘 - Fukushima - looks a lot like the infinity castle doesn’t it 👀 📍 Itto-seki Split Boulder 柳生一刀石 - Nara - many say it looks similar to the boulder Tanjiro split during his training in season 1 📍 Kyoto Railway Museum 京都鉄道博物館 The Railway Museum 鉄道博物館 - Omiya, Saitama Mugen train, anyone? 📍 Kamado Shrine 宝満宮 竈門神社 - Fukuoka Bears the same name as Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado, so many fans visit here while in Fukuoka. 📍 opening scene - Toei Kyoto Studio Park 東映太秦映画村
Looks like one of the streets that lead up to Kiyomizu-dera, except with rural paddy fields as the backdrop (as opposed to cityscape)
That’s true!!
How do you book this?
They don’t take reservations for nagashi somen, you need to line up
@@franklinthewoman thank you for letting me know ☺️ I’m heading to Japan at the beginning of September I think they stop at the end of September correct?
It would be definitely wise to buy Stamina Royale!
I have lived in Japan these last 21 years. That residence tax and medical insurance is based on your income. If your income goes up, those payments go up too. Yes, if you are not a regular employee but a freelancer, these amounts will not be automatically deducted from your salary and you will have to save money out of your freelance earnings to pay them. Don't forget the national pension payment too. Last I checked it was around 17000 yen a month. If you don't stay long in Japan, you can get some of that back in a lump sum when you leave. I remember I worked freelance for about 9 months before I got a regular job. Years later, they came at me with a demand to pay pension contributions for those nine months. Question: do you get hassled for those tatoos when you go to a sentou or onsen?
I usually stick to private onsen but I’ve found a few tattoo friendly ones as well
Also there are tofu shop
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
@@christianalawal3695 That's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well
@@Richardnnabuikediyoke My advisor is Victoria Carmen Santaella
You can look her up online
@@christianalawal3695 The crazy part is that those advisors are probably outperforming the market and raising good returns but some are charging fees over fees that drain your portfolio. Is this the case with yours too?
Hi that's lovely & fantastic hopefully everything will pick up with your business & thank for sharing your videos with me 😊❤
Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Do you see any halos around lights? If so, does it cause you problems driving at night? Anyways, enjoy your new spectacles-free life!
No problem! I still see halos. Hoping it will go away but idk, for some people it does after a few months and for others it never does 😭 having astigmatism already made me reluctant to drive at night since the lights get fuzzy and streaky, so the halos don’t add that much more disturbance than there already was haha
The village will pay you for stay there a night 💀
😂😅😅
I was there 4 years ago, i love it ❤

Welcome to Nagoro Scarecrow Village, which has more scarecrows than people. This is a heartwarming but sad example of Japan’s disappearing towns. You may already know about Japan’s aging population and declining birth rate. That plus young people moving to bigger cities for work and social opportunities contributes to the declining population in small towns. It’s predicted that as many as 744 towns and villages across Japan could disappear by 2050.
Solo Karaoke? You mean my drive home from work?
😂😂😂
Plum is my fave
God i miss the Japanese urban legends and crimes❤
Sorry 😭
Sorry 😭
@@franklinthewoman you don't have to :) I'm very happy you have new content and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the year✨✨
Sorry to hear about your divorce. Sounds like you have been through a lot. Hope for you to have great things going forward. Thank you for all the videos you post about Japan. Brings back great memories of my time living in Japan.
Thank you!! It was for the best ❤️
@@franklinthewoman that’s understandable. It’s good when 2 people can realize that.
Just to explain about the cases they are to protect the cats from potential harm and the cats very much enjoy the display cases and can be seen sometimes asking to be let in to them. They protect the cats as a form of respect because they are the life of the station and everyone there loves them
Personally I fell in love with Osaka 🥰
Have you tried pufferfish meals? I had my first pufferfish meal last week in Osaka in the chain restaurant Guenpin (玄品), which I highly recommend.
I have!! But not at that restaurant though so I will save it, thank you 😎
How do disabled people use those? I think most non-Japanese people could squat so low and get back up. 😄😉
These toilets would be impossible I think 😭 but usually there is at least one western style toilet and in more populated places at least one accessible restroom too
📍Mudfish public toilet ムツゴロウ 公衆 トイレ - inside Kaiyū Fureai Park 海遊ふれあいパーク - Saga
Ill just sleep there lol
How many diopters of your glasses? Do you have astigmatism?
It's interesting how much residence tax doubles, based on salaries that do not increase, and how the government can't figure out why foreigners do not want to pay it.
How pretty! I don’t think that delicate bath is designed for Valkyrie-shaped people like me, though.
