  1. Just another awesome John Daub video 👍

    This lovely little islands around Japan just don't get enough attention.

    I hope the two year wait for a permit was only due to COVID reasons.

  2. Hi, John! We visited Shodoshima during our first trip to Japan in 2013 for the Setouchi Triennalle. We had a wonderful time, and we’re enjoying your adventures now. (Feeling a little jealous too, gotta admit.) Looking forward to seeing more and reminiscing. Thanks for highlighting this special place!

  3. 日本にオリーブがあるのは驚いた。DAIHATSUダイハツをもっと尊敬しなさい。元彼がダイハツの車🚙でした。

  4. Your Mini Cooper Oh wrong vehicle 🚗. A Big Godzilla will think of as a Fly Small Pebble or just miss it all together. Reading 📖 and watching the Anime & Manga versions of the Character on the where you showed at the beginning On Netflix to. Hope you can show me school if it’s there? Be careful Driving & Drone Flying 🙏. Have a great safe time. 👍📸🇧🇱

  5. Amazing to see olive trees in Japan! I’m part of a small town in central California and for about a 20 mile radius is surrounded with olive trees. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I believe it’s only place in the US where olive trees grow.

  6. The MSG controversy started with a letter to the editor to a Montreal newspaper in 1964 that was described as "Chinese food syndrome" and was a racist attack on Asians. Multiple studies have since debunked the myth. Aji no moto is the company started by the Japanese scientist that isolated glutamic acid from seaweed in 1908.

  7. Roaming around the lush green slopes of the tranquil Shodoshima Olive Park area under a lovely blue sky on a clear winter’s day remains one of my top Japan experiences.

  8. I'm Japanese, I love Mediterranean cuisine and olives. I use olive oil for cooking. I was shocked when I got a box of sugared olives. Couldn't eat…sweet olives 😳

  9. Olives in the Mediterranean region are always the best and especially the famous black Kalamata olives from Greece. Seems the people on Shodoshima Island are living long lives partaking the Mediterranean Diet

  10. If you are into classic Japanese films, do yourself a favor and track down 24 eyes (二十四の瞳) starring Takamine Hideko and directed by Kinoshita Keisuke in 1954. The story is set on a very sleepy and quiet Shodo Island before the start of WW2. It's full of joy and discovery and ultimately sadness in the most anti-war way ever.

  11. Olive oil is healthy. I almost made it there last time but had to change plans due to weather. I hope to go the next time.

  12. Did anyone told John that olive landmark and the island itself is made famous by the anime/manga, Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san? If you have never heard of it, you are living under a rock >_<

  13. My friend gave up yesterday after saving money for 3 years he will now spend all his Japan Money in south korea. If they dont want our money why should we still wait. 8 months working again without vacation

  14. John wacht out for the weahter its going to be rouf one. Mother nature speaks again. Even a earthquake in hokkaido.

  15. 💥💥💥💥
