What festival would you like to visit in Japan? Let us know!
I love this!! Great video!!
I HATE mayo so I am out on the Monjayaki, but all in on the bubble tea! 😉
wildest? no way
study more!
I broke my computer because I drooled on it after seeing the Wagyu Skewer. Japan by Food, you need to compensate me for my computer!!!
❤ it when you cover the religious side of Japanese culture
Gorgeous as always ❤ love the outfit too!
Wow! Your video's are so knowledgeable ❤
Love watching your video's, thank you so much for your efforts 💖
Shizuka-san is wonderful and always cheerful 🥰✨
God bless 🙏🏻 and take care everyone ❤
i love Shizuka more than wagyu beef 😝
I missed Sanja Matsuri,so I'm really happy to watch your video. The food looks so good and the Mikoshi(portable shrine) was fun to watch!😆✨⛩
Oh what fun! I can't wait to see some of these festivals whenever I can get over to Japan. That Kobe Wagyu skewer looked AMAZING! Definitely a great price. Thanks for the video!
60% watching not subscribed? I did so I know when Shizuka's got new content that I might want to watch…OK…will most likely watch. Who else would try and eat food on a stick while balancing an umbrella.
the wagyu skewer and the 500yen bread would be best $12USD i would spend
What a blast! This looks like a very fun festival and Shizuka I can never say enough about what a great host you are. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
This was fun, are other religions also represented in this area? The gate in the beginning is Shento yes? I have adopted the habit of giving thanks to everyone that is a part of my days when I leave home and go out in my world. It is soothing to be gracious to others. I would be embarrassed to say what festival I would like to see. Thanks for uploading. Last week I was missing the video and wondered if there would be another.
Well-behaved crowd. This makes the festival more enjoyable despite its wildness.
Love the makeup style here. Soft and natural look.
Delightful, charming and glowing as usual. I did not expect so many tourists, did tourism recover?
great to see you guys make it and glad the festival was able to continue, I love how the food stalls have portions you can hold with one hand, in the food fests I've been to in America they try to give you whole plates full of food so it's hard to try everything, love the look on the first day, something about the colors is just really beautiful
Amazing🤩🙏🙏🙏
you guys should go to kishiwada danjiri festival this year. its pretty awesome.
This brought back some memories when I visited Japan last year, good thing I didn't miss this because I remember having a good time. I probably will visit Japan again because I have missed some stuff
That little birdy… uncorrectable… Come on, folks, let's show Japan By Food some extra love by give them more 100K subscriptions! Let's join the party!🥳🎉🥳🎉🎊 🐥🐥
Ahh it’s been so long!
This was film 9 days ago something like that I was there lol
