This Japan vlog has so many amazing moments! We discover Miyajima has a ton of deer (we did not know this), we eat amazing Miyajima specialty foods (like maple leaf cakes and fried oysters!), are interviewed by the news (again!), take the ropeway, hike to the summit, and so, SO much more!

  1. 動画の映像がとても綺麗で感動しました!
    宮島は本当に素晴らしい所で、感動したかと思います。
    日本旅行、沢山楽しんで下さいね。日本旅行を通してもっと日本を好きになってくれたら嬉しいです。

  2. I googled, it's called "Yamadori" in Japanese, "Copper pheasant" in English. It's endemic to Japan. It says it's rare to see it outside. You guys were lucky!

  3. Did you get permission to fly your drone?
    (If you violate the law on drone flight…
    Imprisonment with work for not more than one year or a fine of not more than 500,000 yen.)

  4. Seto Inland Sea and islands are so picturesque, calm, peaceful area. Thank you for visiting there.

  5. Once again, you guys really nail the vibe I am looking for in videos of this genre. Such good videos! Hope your channel continues to grow!

  6. I'm so happy about watching both of you in the sacred island, Miyajima in Japan. I'm sure the climbing up Mt. Misen spiritually means to you a lot because there are 7mysteries about Mt. Misen from ancient era. I love Miyajima, too!

  7. I love Miyajima, too. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

    The oyster cultivation raft from the top of the mountain was beautiful. 💖✨
    Of course, I love fried oysters. 🤤

    Did you eat Anago rice? 🙄
    If you have never eaten it, I recommend you to eat it next time. 👍

    The weather was nice and it was great. 😌
    I'm looking forward to the sequel. 💓

  8. If you had visited there about 10,000 years ago, the view from the observation deck would have been quite different. Many islands are the mountain peaks of those days. After the end of the Ice Age, large amounts of water created an inland sea. Japan, a country created by rapid crustal movements. The movements also created a rapid flow of water, giving no time to deposit mineral ingredients. The soft water is used to make the broth for Japanese cuisine. The dipping sauce for your SOBA noodles was made possible by crustal movements…

  9. I don't think there are many people who got to the top of Misen, but thank you very much. I think is mid-October, 2022. I also visited Miyajima at the same time. I saw many foreign customers.
    And Please enjoy your trip and welcome the year-end and New Year holidays. ❣ ☺

  10. 道で見かけた鳥は雉で合っていますよ。Auld Lang Syneは1940年のアメリカ映画「Waterloo Bridge」でワルツに編曲されていて、日本では店舗や施設の営業終了や閉館時間にBGMとしてよく使われます。
    良い新年をお迎えください。

  11. Hi😊 Bill &Heather Superb view !!!👍👍😀😀You had very good weather and it became a wonderful trip. My hobby is watching YouTube everyday. Your videos made me want to travel. Next year , I'm planning to travel to Hiroshima and Shimane in April . But I'm not YouTuber . I don't do video shooting 🤣🤣🤣Thank you so much for traveling Japan . 💕💗💖
    🎍🎍A HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎍🎍

  12. 宮島散策、お疲れ様でした😊
    帰りのロープウェイまでの道のりをジョーク交えて急ぐお二人に好感を感じております😅
    12C・平安時代に建立された厳島神社、時に権力者・平清盛の思いを感じた今回の動画でした👍
    お二人にとって、新年が素敵な一年でありますよう祈っております🍀

  13. Your eating scene is interesting. I thought there was Japanese shaved ice in America too. Was that cola bitter?🙂

  14. Miyajima is one of the three most scenic spots in Japan. The other two are Matsushima and Amanohashidate.

  15. すみません。TheJapanStopさんのコメントが正しいです。山鳥ですね。お二人は貴重な生き物に度々遭遇されていてすごいです。

  16. rare bird called yamadori over1000years they stay there
