Japan might be known for its megacities such as Tokyo, but most of the country is just a pile of mountains. Over 48 hrs we walk the Nakasendo trail starting at the stunning village of Naraijuku, nestled in the remote mountains of central Japan. Feat. @RyotarosJapan & @sharlainjapan!

NOTIFICATION SQUAD: These sorts of travel videos don't seem to do as well as they used to on Youtube! If you enjoyed it PLEASE be sure to like the video – it honestly makes a difference. CONVERSELY feel free to also dislike the video now that Ryotaro is finally back.

That's your boyfriend that is
Cultural or not the freaking slurping….
Jon Lennon is my father and I am sure he ate there !
Japan looks so clean, the people seem to genuinely respect their land, and take care of it unlike where I live.
Polygamy?? Nice famiy
the colors are gorgeous!!!!! i love the camera work, as always. and yay, more sharla content ^3^
The room feels like you're in a Bond villain's lair and you all should look around for listening devices.
Since I will probably never be able to afford seeing Japan in person, your wonderful videos are always a joy. Those three towns were gorgeous!
Mr British 😂
We stopped at that Nikuman shop around closing time back in early January 2019. That old guy at 15:26 was so nice, inviting us in and chatting around his fire eating Nikuman until well after closing time.
John Lennon frequently came to Japan privately for family vacation with Yoko and Sean. They stayed at a vacation home in Karuizawa, Nagano prefecture that Yoko’s family owned. Yoko is from very rich family and Karuizawa is known as rich people’s favorite summer resort just like Hampton or Martha’s Vineyard. I have visited a hotel near their vacation home. John and Yoko liked the restaurant and cafe at this hotel and some menu were still advertised as John’s favorite. Nakasendo is famous tourist destination in the same prefecture, so it’s very possible that John had visited there.
I honestly thought he was gonna say "restraunt has contract, with bear"
love the "faffable" room!
awesome!!!
I was eating and looked up as the bear was just walking behind you guys 😂 I had to rewind and watch it again just to make sure I wasn’t losing my shit!
I'd be interested in trying Japanese bear. I live in New England and I've NEVER had bear that didn't taste absolutely awful. Omnivores are not meant to be be eaten I suppose.
Hi Chris. I went to Megamo. I’ll be back in Tokyo next week. Where is your shop?
You Guys are the best. I love❤ Your Crew and Natsuki……I would love to see Japan and Okinawa. Shout out from France but original from Toronto CND. 🖐🖐
J… E… T… S…, JETS, JETS, JETS. lol didn't expect to see that in a japan video hehe
Risottoro is amazing as always
13:14 I thought you said Sumago for a sec and I immediately thought "Is that an anagram for Sugoma?"
A friend recommend me your channel and is really awesome! Japan has many interesting places and well, food is outstanding!
The bear walking behind them while they were talking about eating bear made me laugh my ass off
The 10:40 cut was so sudden I thought it was an ad
Gorgeous!!!! Adding this on my to-visit list!!!
I've already booked my ticket, I'll be in Japan in October :)))
Ryotaro is my favourite character from the whole of Youtube. Chris is third.
Did I say today that I love your work man !? I lie, I freaking adore it. Thanks brother.
I’m doing the same trip. But I can’t find the traditional house you rented. Can you give me the name or a hint?
They so smashed
He said take the car 😢😢😢😢
The bear 🐻 😂
Absolutely the most beautiful scenes of Japan I've ever witnessed. Just gorgeous. Will be there in October for a 10th wedding anniversary and can't wait to experience this ! Thank you for sharing this.
Chris not just the cars spoil the atmosphere and the very sarcastic British guy who I like to hear him narrate, and the videos with Riotoro are some of the best that
I love Ryotaro's room/building! I would love to stay there. And possibly never leave.
Chris says the journey series are Patreon backed, but I'm legit saying he's getting extra funding from more the Dr. Jelly and NO MORE VOLCANO…
Wow! Chris, you never cease to amaze me with your erudite and fun commentary. Well done!
Wow, this is a bucket list trip! Thank you for sharing ❤
I too love ryotaro's slurp and yes I would also pick his room
15:57
I've had bear sausage, way back when I was in my early teens, at a Native American powwow. I'd love to try, what looks like, bear bacon, haha
I swear Ryotaro is aging backwards.
15:25 editor you knew what you were doing
Ok but how did you pay without cash
A new york jets fan huh. Chris I know you don't know alot about america but be careful.
I really want to move there 😢
I love binge watching these vlogs
Ryotaro is such a great tour guide- lots of nice little insights and factoids from him. Awesome video as always!
