In this video we are visiting Iwaki Beach in Fusushima Prefecture, Japan. After our 13 hour from from Canada (Halifax to Toronto, Toronto to Tokyo) we finally made it to Japan. We went to bed almost right away (visited for a few hours with Akane’s parents first).
On our first “real day” in Japan, we strolled the streets of Iwaki. We walk around this rural area. We ended up going to Misaki Park, a nice spot near the Pacific Ocean. With the Pacific Ocean so close, I knew I had to dip my feet in – and this is the first time my eyes have paid themselves on the Pacific Ocean. I was pleasantly surprised! Not as cold as I thought.
Our first day didn’t comprise of much, but it was a great start to the trip!

Hi Josh🖐🏻🤚🏻Beautiful scenery! It is mind boggling seeing the drivers on opposite sides of the road and I agree freaky seeing everything in the cars flipped!! Lol!! I lived in Cali so I don’t think the pacific waters are cold. I grew up in Connecticut and the Atlantic Ocean is much colder ( except summer time) lol TFS💗😊🐚gracie
These long journeys can be tiring Josh, when i travel to the Philippines from the UK it takes me about two days to get there and three flights, but you know what i never get that jet-lag people talk about.. Hey seeing the cars driving on that side of the road would seem normal to me, as that's the side we drive on in the UK, but not in the Philippines… That beach looked well nice mate, very much enjoyed this video, thanks for the share… Carl
The driving on the other side of the road thing always freaks me out. Tried driving in Australia once and I lasted for about 5 minutes before my dad kicked me out and took over lol. I think we'd almost always pick travel over a new car or house. Even with the baby we're not giving up on our dreams of seeing the world. The beaches looked awesome! Great first day in Japan!
Wow they’re driving on the opposite lane I would totally forget and crash LOL That is so cool you’re standing in the Pacific ocean on that side and I was standing in the Pacific ocean on this side by Oregon! I love the sounds of bugs in the park. I cannot wait to see more of what you’re going to show of Japan
Those mind twitches always get ya! 🙂 Wahoo cold pacific ocean! Gotta touch it! Dang spiders ruining EVERYTHING! Enjoyed the adventure sir! – Shane
Great to see you so excited for your experiences so far. Didn't realise Japan had a coastline like that…. How stunning. Nice views at the park guys. Neither of us have done a maze before 😳
Love the Pacific Ocean! Are you going to go surfing? Makes me miss when I was living in that neck of the world. Keep the videos coming man!
The left side is the right side.
nice beach wellcome to Japan
Nice one buddy looks great there hope you have a great trip
Wow all that flying and traveling I would be totally wasted for a good couple of days. Looks like you had the beach to yourselves and the sea did indeed look very shallowy lol. If you want cold, try the North Sea, even in the height of summer, it is absolutely freezing lol! Funny enough my son just rang me 20 minutes ago to say he is taking his family to Disneyland in Paris just before Christmas, unfortunately , he is not taking me! Cheers Alan
Is Fukushima where the reactors were? 😲
Wow Iwaki beach is looks beautiful Josh. Enjoy your japan trip my friend.
Super fun excursion on the beach! Have a nice Monday Josh!😎👍
Glad you had a good 1st day in Japan! I can't believe this was filmed in September 2018! You must have a hell of a backlog of travel videos! I think mine are like 6 months back.
