- Okay, to confess I'm not 100% sure this is the windiest place in Japan. But all the locals kept telling me it was the windiest place in all of Japan. So I'm going to choose to believe them.
Ryosuke makes a special appearance at the end of the video - so if you want to see him, skip to the end :)
Now that I've been to the Northernmost place of all of Japan (and the Northernmost train station - Wakkanai station)... I want to go to the Southernmost point AND the Southernmost train station in Japan (in Okinawa). Someday soon, I hope.

Just discovered your videos today and I'm hooked. So interesting to watch the Japanese lifestyle. I find your channel so authentic - anyways, keep it up
I like seeing the windmills making use of the wind there.
If and when I go back to Japan... if and when. Miss it already.
Wind is a pain if you're trying to bicycle but when walking it's actually fun. Or I enjoy it at least.
Really cool place. So relaxing. Hokkaido is amazing.
Your hat is adorable :3 And the views are so pretty, thanks for showing us!
Japan is truly beautiful, and so are you!
Wow! Such a beautiful place! Japan has always been a country I want to visit someday. When I get a chance to do so, I definitely want to visit places like this. Added to my bucket list, haha
wow what a beautiful country landscape. That wind would be killer in the winter though! I get chills just thinking about it XD
I want to thank you both, in the past year I've been watching you guys I've managed to get better control over my depression. Thank you for helping me, even if you didn't know you were.
That looked like a lot of fun and I'm glad you didn't run into any bears. But round bales! Sugoi! A reminder of Dr. Wesley!
+Quint Rankid Yeah! Dr. Wesley is wonderful!
Hokkaido looks so beautiful! That's where I most want to go when I visit Japan.
That looked like such an amazing walk. I have to tell you Grace, you have really nice clear skin. Keep taking good care of it. Ryosuke and you were so kawaii at the end. You really are the best couple!!!
looks so pretty there! I loved the white paths.
The scenery is stunning. It kind of reminds me of an English country side with all the rolling hills in the background.
+Jessie D I know! It was so lovely~
+Jessie D I think it will gone in ten years by TPP.
how so? I'm Australian and we've just agreed to the TPP as well. The general public was against it but our political leaders still signed up. There is concern about the ability for american based companies to sue us for our vital healthcare policies.
Appreciate your videos. I was wondering what this place would look like . I do like knowing what other places are like . I enjoy the reality that you share as a couple. thank you .
the landscape is stunningly beautiful>
I can relate to the cow-poop smell. My cousin lives on a cow farm and I loved playing there as a child.
One of my biggest fears, stumbling onto a bear. Oh God! :/
+MsSunny9 Or *into* if his mouth is open... ;-)
This reminds me of Honey and Clover. Beautiful place with all that green.
Hokkaido looks gorgeous - I hope I can see it myself someday. In the meantime I'm enjoying experiencing it vicariously through your videos. :)
Love the windy places of the world, Patagonia, The Hebrides, and Northern Hokkaido, etc. etc. . :)
Whoa, there are BEARS in Japan!? Holy smokes! Glad you made it out alive!
My computer fan makes sound like a sort of wind so it fitted quite well lol
I just love this video !!! Windy windy windy !!!
You´re crazy and fun! Thanks for showing us Japan.
that reminds me so much of being back in Scotland seeing this and it makes me really want to go back sometime although the cold wind would eventually drive me mad
What a terrific, scenic walk!
This brings back memories for me. My dad's from a small town called Esashi a few hours southeast of Wakkanai. I used to spend my summers there, but I'd fly to the airport in Wakkanai and get a ride from there. We'd always stop by Soya Misaki and grab some food there too. Then on the drive down, we'd so all those green fields with the cows and the bails of hey just like in the video.
It's been so many years since I last went and this is bringing back memories for me :)
+Teruki Ito That sounds so lovely! I can imagine that would be so much fun~
It looks like fun.
Place looks beautiful, Grace!!
Beautiful.. Can't wait till I go to Japan
What a beautiful place!!!
When I saw the title it reminded me of your comic on first wind with your mother in law saying you will fly away ^^
Windy places makes bad hair days...... I'll never go to Hokkaido! LOL
Hokkaido is one of the few places I've never been to in Japan, and soon the
Hokkaido shinkansen will start the service, so why not? ^^
GREAT VIDEO!!!! ^^
It would be great if you could go to the mountains some time. I have the sense that a glimpse of old Japan can be found there.
Looks like a beautiful area.
I love those windmills
Love this one, the views are amazing glad for you that not bears or foxes appeared but I'm sad for me because I love seeing them haha. Thanks for the content! :)
Even with audio difficulties this is interesting and I was glad to see it. Japan is in such a genre of its own that its surprising to remember that it has neighbors. I should know better though cuz I was in Korea for two years, and people often made the midnight visa run to Fukuyama, which I guess is Japan's closest big city (with a Korean consulate) to their Korean neighbor.
I really like your videos!!! Greetings from Costa Rica!
Awesome! Glad you did not see any bears but foxes would have been cool.
That looked beautiful!! That was amazing! I am jealous! I now want to go to Hokkaido! :)
Wow, it was interesting to see that side of Japan : )
A tip for dealing with wind noise... if your camera has the mic built in with the little holes in a tight group (like most cameras/camcorders do) then you can use one of those circular band-aids to cover it up. You'll still be able to hear your talking and will get rid of most if not all wind noise. Try it out and see what you think of it!
Next time you travel to Hokkaido, please listen to the local. There are grisly-like bears there. You wouldn't want us to greeve, would you?
+Yoshikazu Hayashi We made sure to be super loud, to scare them away~
This is very interesting, it reminds me a lot of northern California where my relatives live. Like a LOT like NorCal, even the cows look the same. I eventually want to visit Japan, so i guess i just added another stop on my list!
To me it really looks like part of Alaska. Nice video.
R.I.P Headphone Users. btw, your vids are very helpful Ryouske and Grace!
I will make a retraction: a lot of windmills in the windiest place in Japan. Nice!
Wow so nice and green !
The weather you were in is my FAVORITE! I love gray skies. I love wind, especially when it's not too cold. And while I'm not one for going out much, I would definitely enjoy being outside more if that was the weather I got to have. Even if it's sunny there, all that wind must be amazing. I need to learn Japanese and move there, XD! Or find an equally remote-ish and windy place here in the States...(emphasis on remote...ish. I know Chicago is the "windy city", though I think that has something to do with the politicians. Either way, while the majority of my family lives there, I'd rather not live there myself :)
Stunning scenarios! :3 The view must be so much prettier in real life too, usually is ^^ Would have been cool if you had a camera stuck to one of those drones-things, then you would get an even better view from up in the sky :D
Confused thumbnail as a minecraft mod 😅 lovely video as always.
Missing the bus if fun if there are snacks to be had, and there's another along in an hour or so.
glad you guys didn't run into any bears...and that you didn't get blown away ;)
all those windmills remind me of Denmark :D
Its crazy just how much a lot of Hokkaido resembles the English countryside.
So many Honey and Clover references. *_* the feels
To quote Helen Hunt in the film " Twister "....... COW.
now got to cape sata the south most part of japan :)
Hi Grace,
I have a tip that might help you reduce wind noise. I've seen other CZcamsrs use "dead cats" (windscreens made of furry material) over their mics. This guy was able to make his own by cutting out a piece of furry fabric from his teddy bear rather than having to purchase fabric at the store. He made his own video showing how he made it and also provides a demonstration of how useful it was.

You can try making one specifically for your camera. Hopefully you can find furry fabric at home that doesn't come from a teddy bear.
I hope this helps.
Windy, indeed.
owwwh so nice ^.^
Do you know what that building is on top of the hill? Foxes? Are they not the size of small dogs, and big cats? Maybe they are going to put a spell on you.
you need to get a Micromuff The Original Wind Muffler, for your camera. should cut out most of that wind noise
awesome, i want to do this so bad
So I've always wondered, why is Hokkaido always associated with crab? As a fish monger, I'd be curious to know more about that.
when does Hokkaido start warming up?
Do the bears eat the cows? I'm worried about the cows. . . and the bears, people don't hurt the bears if they eat a cow do they?
How was the temps up there? I thought that wakkanai had horrid rain :/
im interested in buying your comic books and i was just wonderin how long are they?
You're eyes are so beautiful!
Sakhalin of Russian looks from the Northernmost point in japan.. is it true?
Yeees ! The cow smell :P It smells gross but I kind of want to smell it hahaha It's so nostalgic :D
WHERE IS RYOSUKE??!!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
+NectarAnanas i enjoy it the best when they are together!
Looks like the UK
Are you using a different mic, idk sounds different. (when u actually talk)
What time of the year did you travel? Month?
whattt bears in japan.
北海道ってそこかしこに野生のローズヒップが生ってて食い放題らしい。
northern Japan looks just like the UK.
If i ordered one of your books, would it be possible that you sign it for me? :3
How tall are you Grace? You don't look too much tall in this video 😁 (or its just me idk)
1st..yeaaayy!!!!
Curious question what age did you get married?
To Ryusuke : how did you find this cute ball of wool when you studied abroad ? what did you do to trick her into falling in love with you ???
I'm also an Asian male that looks suspiciously like you and i just can't find any American girls that likes me.
Need some guidance from you.
BTW, To Grace: you have beautiful eyes. ahhh I wish I had a girlfriend like you...
Grace u r so beautiful ;-)
そこから見えるのはロシアではありませんよ。正式には日本ですよ(笑)
南樺太と千島列島は日本です。ロシアが不当占拠をしているだけです。
