Thank you so much for making this wonderful video showing us these hidden gems in Tohoku! I prefer the less well-known areas of Japan because they feel more authentic and unique than the mass-consumption-focused Tokyo. That's not to say that Tokyo is bad, more that it's only a very narrow aspect of what Japan has to offer. So thank you again for showing us the places off the beaten path in Japan!

My wife and I were in Japan for 3 weeks last year. We spent 10 days in Kyoto, 2 days in Tokyo and the rest in Niigata and Sado island. Rural Japan is so beautiful! We were there in the fall and it was amazing to watch people harvesting rice by hand, fishing in small sail boats with nets and picking amazing fruit from incredibly manicured orchards. It was like traveling back in time to the Meiji era.

I was there just one year after the earthquake and tsunami and visited also a few of the towns worst affected by it, and I was struck by how friendly and welcoming the locals were despite all the hardships they were in and I want to go back. Best and most memorable trip I made during my three years studying in Japan.

Just took several weeks to travel through Japan and went pretty much everywhere you just did. I loved it! I don’t speak Japanese so I had a bit of difficulty communicating, but still had a blast! The people were awesome and the sites beautiful. I think I may have enjoyed it so much because there weren’t very many other western tourist around. In a week’s time I probably only ran into about a dozen. Lots of Asian tourist though. Really want to go back. Amazing video! Thank you so much for creating such wonderful content. Aloha

I’ve spent more time in Iwate than all the rest of Japan combined in my two trios there. It’s just beautiful... Morioka and Kamaishi are my two home bases. I really love them both. My dream job is to teach at Iwate U one day. I always thought that the “many noodle bowls” (wanko soba) was unique to Hanamaki, just south of Morioka. I’ll have to go to that place you went to. Did you drink any of the hot noodle water? It sounds gross but is good for your stomach. But I recommend taking the trains instead of buses... the trains have a charm that does not exist on the bus lines.

I went to Tohoku as a private teacher for a year and then went back on the JET Programme. During my JET interview I specifically said I wanted to go to Iwate and the interviewers cackled and screamed with glee because virtually nobody requests the Newfoundland of Japan. Tohoku is not for wallflowers as your every move will make the papers just because you are different, but it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and would never have been matched had I lived in a more foreigner dense area.

Get to see snow for the first time as I come from Cambodia, a coutry in the tropical region. It was the highlight of my trip to Japan. The people in Sendai are friendly and the life pace is a bit more laid back and chill than Tokyo.
