  • Have you ever wanted to see a forest straight out of a Studio Ghibli movie?! Then I recommend that you check out Towada City in Aomori - home to the Oirase Gorge - a stunning stretch of forest covered in beautiful moss.
    In this video I wanted to show you all the great things that Towada has to offer - including the Modern Art Centre, the famous dish known as “Bara-yaki” (grilled beef an onion BBQ) as well as the luxurious hoshino resorts oirase keiryu hotel.
    Find out more about Towada here:

    *NOTIFICATION SQUAD*
    Finally, worldly famous Japanese Christmas is coming and every Colonel Sanders all over Japan looks happier than ever.
    Having made videos about Election, Festivities and even DEATH in Japan, I realized there must be a lot more things in Japan that I take it for granted, but not revealed to anyone outside Japan yet.
    So now I want you all to ask me questions about "JAPAN"!
    Leave me a questions below and I will try to answer as many as possible in my next video.
    Hope this will be your Christmas present from me.

      First of all love your content and you are one of the best guest's on Abroad in Japan
      So my question is about where i should live in Japan while i study the language (major city)
      Tokyo, Sendai, Osaka, and sapporo are on the list but would prefer a city that gets lots of snow or has alot of snow around it
      Good shopping is also a must
      many thanks

    Thank you for the video, Ryotaro. We lived in that area for a while, and miss it very much. The restrictions were bit of a bummer at the hotel, it’s still somewhat enjoyable. The highlight is certainly the buffet.
    Oh! You should try the horse curry at:
    Garden Kitchen Tariho ガーデンキッチン 垂穂(たりほ)
    Also, the soba at:
    Fuku 蕎麦Cafe 福
    Or, my favorite:
    Hibiki
    Obviously those are further from the lake and closer to the town, but I think they are quite worth visiting.
    Take care!
