  1. 9:40 That fence next to the moat is really fancy.👍
    Like a musical score when we're talking about music… but not with the notes but trees !
    Mairi could surely be able to read and sing the musical notation in that fence.

  2. Nice to see Miley is back into her gorgeous (IMO) winter footwear of white leather platform knee high boots!!!

  3. I suggest you change to 1080p HDR,
    the way as it is it's not hitting real 4k anyway, so you ratter gain HDR with a smaller resolution, same as 1080p or 1440p HDR

  4. I am actually a little surprised that the two of you are not already married given how much time you spend together

  5. I love so much what you do, and it has double value.
    1. It is beautiful as a youtube show, and we can learn quite much about life in Japan, as far as it is possible to participate as a foreigner. JE has lived in J for many years, so he knows what aspects can be recommended, and he can harmonize very well with the places and people he is showing.
    2. Helpful to boost tourism by simple people that love Japan, because it is very informative about where to go and how to behave. Nothing is perfect but I think it is a great net positive, and there is a benefit to the places that the show displays.

  6. Bon voyage mon ange Miley et JE ,merci pour votre vidéo , c’est toujours un plaisir de vous voir ♥️🥂👍🙏

  7. Hi J E , Miley great video ,the views from the 21 st floor was stunning with the autumn colors ,very large covered arcade , i suppose every thing comes alive at night with bars and shops . I am not a city person but Japan comes fist for having people friendly towns cities with parks and walkways ,i like Tokyo Bay with the Rainbow bridge Walkway ,great architecture with a mixture of trees and the sea side park. All the best .

  8. Miley looking beautiful, ☺️ the Autumn leaves 🍁 look stunningly beautiful & thank you JE for posting this Shinkansen 🚄 trip. 😎

  9. Excellent day trip to Takasaki. My family has roots in Gunma and Niigata. The bento looked delicious. Thank you both enjoyed your video. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone !!!
