[JoeCubicle]

Had to watch again, my favorite video of yours.

[Gaeilge2000]

Kevin, were u following the girl in the blue jacket?? :/

[BusanKevin]

I was! It's ok though....she is my wife :) I'm allowed to follow her!

[Gaeilge2000]

That's what I thought. Either she was either one of your groupies or your wife. Just checking, Man! :)

[studionightbird0]

@BusanKevin lol thats what I was thinking (with the following stalking thing) but then you explained it and made me go AAAAAHHHHHHHH....but god how I Envy you, I so want to GO TO JAPAN :(

[anonymous133711]

@BusanKevin please create moar of these vids... wus really good n interesting

[yelou]

Pretty video, thanks you :)

[softypapa]

Hey Kevin, It looks like you had a wonderful day in the country! It was interesting to see how a village in your wife's mother's hometown looks. I especially liked the bus stop next to the waterfall. Who could mind waiting for the bus? Thanks for sharing! -Kurt :-)

[tokyocityrat]

I grew up something like this place in west Japan. I miss it.

[MIYUKI0417]

This video made miss Japan more.

I want to go home. :(

[AutomHatter]

How soothing.

[BusanKevin]

Glad you found it relaxing :) Thanks for watching!

[kombat60]

cool video-Well presented

[BusanKevin]

thanks so much. I have always liked this one too! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[ZubinZubinZubin]

hey, the bus stations pretty happening! XD

[BusanKevin]

it was indeed the place to be :) I met a lot of cool people thee ;)

[ZubinZubinZubin]

wicked! i hope tea with the inlaws was fun!!

[alaivani]

neat-o for being the country side, it still seems like a mini-concrete jungle.. surprised to see so many houses so close together and little yards, or are the yards inside the cement fences so we can't see it?

[KentaroOswa]

haha your chasing the girl.

[BusanKevin]

that's ok....she's my wife :)

[sessoms11290]

That's it :D I need to go now. Thanks for uploading; I really enjoyed watching the video.

[BusanKevin]

It's a beautiful country!

[chellyman]

I have to agree with a lot of the other folks here, this one is a very cool video. thank you for uploading it.

[BusanKevin]

Thanks a lot. I'm pretty proud of how this one turned out :)

[BusanKevin]

Thanks! One of my favorite videos! I loved this place :)

[jaylawson4233]

tensai teki!! i from osaka japan i miss my town

[TokyoNerd]

wow...you learn something new every day

[TokyoNerd]

Mother in Law? Are you married Kevin?

[BusanKevin]

Yes I am :)

[philco777]

And the other surprising thing is that even in the heart of the biggest cities you find these pockets of "green" as they say here. I live a 10 minute train ride from Shibuya plus a 20 minute walk from the station and there are vegetable fields, a couple of small rivers with herons and ducks, a small mountain with shrines and temples...I mean, the idea of a concrete jungle is true in lots of areas, but so many lovely places even in the cities. Anyways, thanks again.

[philco777]

Hey Kevin Thanks, I really liked this, really beautiful. I get sick of seeing nothing but "weird Japan" stuff all the time on Youtube. I'm always surprised how easy it is to get to nice rural places in Japan by a short train ride compared to back home (also Canadian) where you have to drive everywhere!

[BusanKevin]

Glad you liked the vid. The best parts of Japan are for sure NOT the weird parts. There's so much beauty and cool things everywhere and those are just the places where regular people live.

[Hikosaemon]

Kev mate, I'm finally on a catch up of your vids.

By the way, I love the track "Hope". It didn't stand out to me much on the first play of the Fatblueman album but I think now it is my favourite track on it.

Peace

[BusanKevin]

It is a great song! I really dig it too :)

[yopro]

Just like in animes, great! Thank you for uploading this video.

[arumanokokoro]

That was very nice! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[BusanKevin]

Glad you liked it :)

[basch2020]

This is an excellent vid :) Thanks for the upload Kev.

...But where are all the people!? Looks like a ghost town! lol!

[BusanKevin]

I know! I thought the same thing. At one point we saw two little boys playing with Pokemon cards on the side of the road. I thought they'd freak to see a "gaijin"~foreigner walking through their village, but they didn't look twice...I suppose Pokemon is WAY cooler than a foreigner!

[owenmunoz]

Great video.

[BusanKevin]

Thanks :)

[BusanKevin]

Hey...how are ya? Thanks. I thought the song fit well. Cool that it was written by another Japan vlogger too!

[afcakey]

Great as always

[BusanKevin]

Cheers :)

[kkajapan]

I love those out of the way towns. God, I miss Japan!

[BusanKevin]

It was a beautiful place. How are you adjusting to life back in the States? I hope you start vlogging soon:) I'd love to see some new vids about what you're up too!!

[BusanKevin]

Glad you liked it :)

[Tonskij]

This vid was very neat! So, good job and keep it up!

Haha, CC Lemon seem like a drink that will boast your vitamin C for sure. ;)

[BusanKevin]

Thanks for watching! It was a beautiful place. I suppose it's easy to make a god video when you're in such a nice location :)

[QueenBeeAndBabyDuck]

Gorgeous place.

[BusanKevin]

It is pretty amazing. I hope to get more chances to head to the countryside. Small towns are so interesting!

[jk2900a]

Kevin, I was just curious how you film everything. Is it with a digital camera, or an actual handheld?

[BusanKevin]

I use a point and shoot digital camera...a little Sony Cybershot. At some point next year I'll upgrade :) It does take pretty sweet video though!

[runnyrunny999]

Looks like Onsen area. I like the town still has a local taste.

And CC.lemon makes tears coming out of my eyes just by look at it... It's too sour (TT)

[BusanKevin]

Hehe...cc lemon is sour. I don't drink it very often....sometimes gives me heartburn!

[michetox]

Lovely village. Nice vid

[BusanKevin]

It is! Thanks.

[jigoku89kurai]

wow, amazing.

[BusanKevin]

It is a beautiful spot!

[fatblueman]

Man, that's beautiful. Thanks for using the song!

[BusanKevin]

Thanks for letting me :)

[RyokoHametsu]

wow tht place is beautiful

[BusanKevin]

It was pretty amazing :)

[NichiBeiTrader]

You're right, there are definitely two different Japans: rural and urban.

Love the old farm houses.

[BusanKevin]

it was pretty amazing for me to see. I had no idea how huge the farmhouses would be. We were at my wife's uncle's house and it was like a labrynth...mind you a cold one :)

[Niiickoh]

Definitely one of my fav vids of yours. I'm not exactly sure why, but I love this one. Looks so quiet and beautiful there! *sigh*

Thank you so much for sharing! :)

[BusanKevin]

Your welcome! Wow...cool. I felt good about this one too. The right footage+the right music. It just came together nicely.

[liula540]

i love it-as always.

[BusanKevin]

Cool...thanks!

[JoeCubicle]

Top 5 video for sure. Makes me want to go get some sweet footage. One thing this vid brought back to me was seeing the 'paths' and little tiny 'streets' in Okinawa as a kid. Alleys are what you might call them, such a cool and informal feel to them. I want to fly to Japan and walk them again.

Hope you feel better soon. You really need a proper video cam because some of your videos have such a great feel, nice tape footage would make them soar. Wow that was gay, you know what I mean though.

[BusanKevin]

I do know what you mean. I have a better camera, but it's broken in Canada. Might get it shipped over sometime and get it fixed here. BUT alas, a new one isn't in the budget...saving for a new computer...

Glad it made your Top 5 :)

[gsever007]

I loved this one. I haven't seen as much of rural Japan on Youtube.

[BusanKevin]

yeah. check out those softypapa videos...he REALLY captures life in rural Japan....I always enjoy watching his too. He also talks a lot about history :)

[gsever007]

Excellent. I'm always interested in a bit of history as well.

[YouMockMe]

I liked this vid, it was way cool man, really cool. I'm sitting here with the vid on full screen takin it all in, zoned out in this zen like state; really takin it all in then BLAM, a plugin for lemon juice. Great. Do you have any idea how much I want Lemonade right now? Do you? I don't think you do... no because you've had your vatmin C. Damn it, I don't even have that powdered crap, now I'm gonna go take a lame walk (no sights or waterfalls) to the store to get some lemonade. Good vid anyway.

[BusanKevin]

Glad you liked the vid. Sorry about making you crave lemonade. I have no idea how much it is back there?? Sorry....of course, being me, I had to add at least one "silly" element to a video....can't be %100 straight up serious :)

[YouMockMe]

Yeah your right. Becides if I would have switched to a beach vid afterwards I would of had to walk farther, so technically I owe ya one.

[pulps23113]

warm video...i love the track!

[BusanKevin]

yeah....great scenery. That Fatblueman song went very well with it!

[IntlAce]

i think when it comes to places like that the camera just doesnt convey what its really like to be there. its definitely worth experiencing fist hand

-Ace

[BusanKevin]

I completely agree!!

[Llirya]

that photo in the end of the video made me laugh!

[BusanKevin]

hehe :)

[smiley62]

A chick friend of mines lives around the Mt. Fuji area...so I had the change to stay out in a small town for a while...I loved it so quite, Mt. Fuji in the background, few tourist found their way to that area

...nice vid

[BusanKevin]

Yeah, that must have been so cool to see Mt. Fuji everyday. Did you see the Ericsurf6 video where he tries to walk from the base of Fuji to the summit in one day? If not, you should check it out!

[smiley62]

sure havent..i'll check it out

[sumerall]

It looks beautiful and pristine to me! I love it and now I want to go. Thanks for this video. You opened my eyes a little more to life in the Japanese countryside.

[BusanKevin]

Your welcome. I have to admit, part of me envies the folks who get to live in areas like that :)

[Daichen]

as a child, I grew up in the country side of Japan, and even to this day, I still miss it. Watching this video brought back lots of great memories. Thanx for uploading this!

[BusanKevin]

Thanks a bunch. Great compliment :) It was a great day. Sometime in the next month or two I'll actually get to stay the night in that area....can't wait :) It was an very interesting day trip...for me, far more interesting than city life!

[MaTToLife]

What a difference between the country and city! It looks so peaceful and relaxing there.

[BusanKevin]

It is...was. Night and day I suppose. I had a nice afternoon there :)

[bestiaccia]

Very nice tour, thanks! Is it more expensive to live in the countryside in a big house or in the city in a small apartment?

[BusanKevin]

To be honest, I have no idea. I suppose a big house in the country since you'd be responsible for the upkeep...fixing the roof if it leaked, replacing rotting wood, etc. BUT....I'm speculating of course.....having never been a homeowner!

[HaxorLee]

I would love to live in the Country Side in Japan but what i always wanted to know is if i would find a job to my qualifications there to make a living :P

[BusanKevin]

If you have a univerity degree in any subject, you can apply to the JET program...Japan Exchange for Teachers. Most of them are posted in smaller towns. Check out "myargonauts" vids about it! Link is on the side :)

[toddatron]

Nice!..... I am going to Matsumoto in Nagano for the new year and its quite similar.I like how there are always random chairs at bus stops and no one messes with them....... Have a good one!

[BusanKevin]

Nice! It was a cool place to visit. Hope you have a great new year in Matsumoto! :)
