  1. This video was soooooo well done & lovely ♥ I also love Daruma & have gifted little ones to my family as well ♥ I was in Osaka a few months ago, and didnt go to this shrine! I will have to make a trip to Katsuo-ji next time 😍

  2. FAVOURITE VIDEO SO FAR! <3 We gotta get one of these Daruma Dolls! (we definitely need it! 😅😢) This video was so beautiful, what a gorgeous temple. I was with you there feeling emotional 🥺💕 Proud of you guys!

  3. I LOVE this story–thank you so much for sharing and showing how manifestation can and does work! I need get my hands on a couple of 'em Daruma dolls lol.

  4. That’s amazing! What a great story of Daruma dolls! I’m going to be in Osaka in next spring!! Guess what I’m going to do when I am there!😘

  5. Love this video..i had seizures once i made 1000 cranes in origami and i prayed and i never had a seizure just headaches but i belive someones wstching us like angels..so i like that story great job..those are neat dolls how did make soo many of them and many stsirs in japan..bless you guys be safeu ne..mata ne so you guys in korea now..have you been to okinaws yet..you can take a ferry boat 🚢 there too.i heard..byeee happy birthday 5 again Hays. I remember your name..3 yrs old fun age wstvh out mom i know my son befor e.well great video bye..

  6. So I started watching you guys because of your Korea content, but I'm still enjoying the other places and the evolution of your content style. I like how Hays is obviously a very special part of the channel, but is not the whole channel like some other family channels. Being a mother and father are big parts of who you are, but don't completely define you. You guys are also husband and wife, members of a family, and global citizens. Keep up the great work, loving the storyboarding, the music selections, montages, etc.

  7. 헤이즈는 태어나서 세계 여행을 많이한 아이로 기네스북에 기록될듯 😍

  8. What a wonderful story and a great tradition! I am so happy that you keep on giving the full vision to your Daruma dolls!
    The way you film and edit is very special: you always manage to create close relationship with your viewers. Even if you relate your stories and your experiences, you seem to be focused on your subscriber. Thank you for this attention you always show us and your generosity.
    Maybe Hays’s wish was to visit House An when he saw all these Daruma dolls. 😂

  9. I also started watching you because of your Korea content. I hope you have loved your travels, I know what I would wish for I would love to move to Seoul that’s my goal to retire and move there. Hopefully also becoming a Content Creator with my dog Sadie 😊
