NOTIFICATION SQUAD: 2 videos in 1 weeks! What a madman.
It's great to finally be back in Hiroshima for the first time in 6 years since the original chaotic Journey Across Japan. This time with an extra day to spare it was awesome to explore the castle, stay on Miyajima island and absolutely fail at cooking an Okonomiyaki pancake along the way. While the weather was certainly against us and I was disappointed at first, it ultimately ended up giving Miyajima a mysterious, ethereal misty mountain vibe that looked pretty cool. Hope to return again and explore more of Japan's inland sea later this year!

2 bath shots in 1 video? My my, you're spoiling us, Chris

Chris, your storytelling, videography, narration, and topic choices keep (unbelievably) improving with each passing episode. As an ethnic Japanese person living in L.A. who isn't able to view these distant locales as much as he'd like, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me so many magnificent glimpses into my motherland through your eyes.

what a delightful mix of information, cinematic shots, food, banter and baths. This is why this channel is my favourite. This is why Chris and team needs to keep cooking

[DaemonBlackfyre]

The amount of time Chris take a shower in this channel is amazingly high, he must be the cleanest youtuber there is

i went to hiroshima last year and also went to some surrounding cities (okayama, fukuyama and onomichi) and all of them feels way more relaxed and laid back than visiting tokyo or osaka, it feels like a perfect balance between countryside and big city

[AGrace-twku]

The fact that we get free Japan videos on YouTube by Abroad in Japan is truly a gift; keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👏👏👏

Chris makes a lot of jokes, but I love the reverence and respects he has when speaking about the bombings, as well as when cooking with a skilled chef. Really enjoyed this vid!

Having lived in Hiroshima city for nearly a decade I would like to share a few things: 1) the city has been through a recent modernization of public spaces (parks, stadiums, train station) so please check out the newest parks and maybe pick up a snack to enjoy by one of the many the rivers. 2 )if given the chance go to Saijo outside of Hiroshima city make sure to explore all of the sake breweries in the town and taste some of the best sake in the country. 3) go to kinkoinari shrine Okumiya to get a good climb in and see the city from an amazing high point.

Hiroshima is an amazing place, not because it has history or the latest attractions, but it’s a city that prides itself on being open and friendly. While also giving you the opportunity to never be too far from the stunning surrounding nature.

Went to Japan last year, and Hiroshima and Miyajima was probably my most memorable visit. It's such a different vibe and I love it. Seeing this video makes me miss it soo much.

I'm in Hiroshima, RIGHT NOW!!! Sadly, I leave tomorrow morning and only was able to visit 原爆ドーム、広島平和記念資料館、and 嚴島神社。It truly is a wonderful and beautiful city with a story of tragedy, warning, and hope. It represents a lot and truly is a staple for coming to Japan.

I'm sure this has been said a million times before, but I am always so impressed with Chris and his team's content. How lucky we are that this is available for free on the internet.

Visiting Hiroshima is a life changing experience for many people. So full of hope for the future despite its recent history

[dasaggropop]

gaijin eating battered things in all the prefectures is my favourite travel show

[indeimaus]

I visited in Feburary, god damn I miss Japan already

will continue living through you Chris until I can return

I was fortunate enough to visit the Peace Memorial Park and I witnessed an elderly gentleman approaching to pay his respects and he started playing a musical instrument. I don't know the music, but it was such a heart wrenching tune.
Though the moment was spoiled by 2 westerners skateboarding through the park, swiftly stopped by the wardens.

Hiroshima is truly so much more than just a city full of history. It's full of relaxed, friendly people, lots of greens, wide streets and good food. Thank you for showing the world a glimpse of the best things to do here.

Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki is one of the best things I ate on my entire Japan trip. Truly amazing flavors.

[cappaman]

I visited Japan in 2019, and felt I couldn't travel there without visiting Hiroshima. Going primarily for the history, I was so pleasantly surprised by the food, the people, the nature and the positive vibe. Loved Miyajima and Hiroshima, some of my most special memories from my trip. Great vid

Peace Memorial is the only museum I have been in that made me cry like a baby. Holy blls man, that museum is powerful.
