You should have dropped in and said hello while you were in Sendai! Glad to see you enjoyed Hachinohe ;)! And good job promoting Tohoku!!!

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 would like to be part of that 1% that visits that area when I travel to Japan =) Very nice people and nice views. Also, congrats on your 81 dish record Angela lol

[LemifromJapan]

Thank you very much for promoting Tohoku! I'm from Sendai and I appreciate your video, as people in Tohoku are usually a bit shy not great at promoting ourselves 💦

Tohoku region should be visited by so many more! 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.

The grannies at Abolone Festival vere nice and full of spirit! You hear them talk about how thankful they are for the country's citizen that helped them after 2011.. it makes your heart grow just by listening to them.. so much appreciation to other people... this is Japan's spirit! Angela, thank you for another great video!

[philiproszak]

Thanks for a great video about Iwate and Tohoku! North Japan is so beautiful and everyone should come here!!

I spent a week in Aomori, Tohoku is certainly a hidden gem!

[saiquasultan]

Watching your videos always brings home the wonderful realisation that Japanese people are perhaps the warmest, friendliest and so full of grace and charm.
Keep up the amazing work Angela. We love you.

[UltraBebo]

Wow, the way she delivered those lines about the disaster made me choke up. I had tears in my eyes for some reason.

[Huntressfan]

Thank you for your videos! Always informative and gives me great ideas for my future trips to Japan!

I did find it amusing that the bus was called Den Den Mushi as that is also what transponder snails are called in the manga One Piece. 🙂

[CCela]

This video inspires me even more to learn Japanese. My favorite moments in the video were the charming people you met along the trip, and when I visit, I also want to do as you did and chat with locals! Thank you for this 😗

[isabellam]

6:18 Aww the way he waves at you so enthusiastically is soooo sweet!

[seoulologyy]

I love how you find these hidden gems in Japan!!! New subscriber and loving your channel!!!

[jif.]

Yet another awesome video, thank you Angela. Though born and raised in Japan my first 7 years I have never had the opportunity nor the budget to return there. Now I do, and my cousin in Sendai has been inviting me to visit for years. I just may do it this year! Your video only encourages me more to do so. Thanks again!

[Zakmakoto]

I loved Tohoku region during my travel last October, i was especially suprised by Aomori and Hirosaki, such nice cities !

[rhaqs]

I can’t decribe how much I love your videos. I am a medicine student in 5th year, and I decided to go to Japan when I finish my studies for a month. I am surely taking notes of everything you are showing to me. Thank you, really. Japan looks beautiful in every angle!

[LisaMarieEvans]

This video has been out for awhile but I'm just getting around to watching it. Thanks for featuring this awesome place, I lived here for nearly three years and feel like I've been waiting forever to see you make this video. My heart is so full.
