There is something poetic about Norm having the shitties camera quality while sitting infront a wall of high end cameras

Norm: let's explore
Chris: good food
Sharla: damn those tourists

[LauriHuu]

This video really shows how much the beloved veterans actually know about locations and when/why to go around. I love all the guys but damn, Chris and Sharla do know places and really just like their way of presentation.

what I learned from this video: Aki doesn't travel

[ekwebeman]

So Sharla & Chris uploaded today and now they are both in the new Tokyo Creative video? I'm surely getting my Japan youtube fix today. <3

shiori should’ve been apart of this so we could’ve seen what a native of japan would rate these places

[Shirleyz]

I really agree with TokyoLens, that Kyoto early in the morning and in the night is so gorgeous.. Arashiyama and Fushimi Inari early in the morning are so serene and beautiful.. Love it so much..

[Okazaki]

I feel like Chris was holding out for either Aomori or Yamagata

[RMRM]

Absolutely loved the points made by Chris, Emma and Sharla! Norm gave me great inspiration for my next trip. And Aki...she seems like a cool girl but this is the second video I see of her being included in this group, and being asked questions she has no idea about. Please maybe include her only in videos in which she can have positive contribution. Instead maybe replace her with Ryotaro or Paulo from Tokyo for travel-related videos. Aki can definitely join for videos in her areas of expertise.
My points aside, I'm totally loving the series! Keep it up guys!

“Damn this list, damn the rules of this game” -Chris 🤣🤣🤣

Fun to hear how they feel about the different spots, but asking people to rank anything one by one blindly without knowing all the options is just pointless. I'm just glad they got to rearrange their list at the end.

[MusiicRoolz]

chris has a nice way with words. really enjoy listening to him describe cities

[CosplayValerie]

Norm is so passionate about Japan <3

[WhoaNellyJake]

Having them rank them without knowing all the options up front makes absolutely no sense haha.

[freakMasha]

I like how diverse the answers were, it's nice to hear opinions from people who value different things while traveling or exploring their own city.

[higuchitachibana]

Once you leave Kyoto City, the atmosphere becomes quite different. Most people flock around the touristy spots, but you’ll see a completely different side of the prefecture outside the city center. The nature is marvelous, I’ve seen hawks flying above the beach, fishing! The people are so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend anyone going to Kyoto to explore the outskirts of the prefecture after seeing the popular spots :)

[WizardOfOss]

The two things that surprised me most:
1) When on earth has Sendai become a prefecture???
2) With Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Osaka and Kyoto, everyone seemed to be talking just about the cities. Which is a shame since the actual prefectures have quite a bit more to offer.

As for my list, having visited all of these prefectures I'd rank them like this:
1) Tokyo
2) Hokkaido
3) Okinawa
4) Osaka
5) Hiroshima
6) Ehime
7) Kyoto
8) Fukushima
9) Fukuoka
10) Miyagi
11) Oita

I actually very much liked all of these prefectures, so no losers here. Even when with the 36 remaining prefectures included, some of them would drop quite a bit further. I mean, Aomori, Akita, Tochigi, Nagano, Toyama, Gifu, Shizuoka, Shiga, Kochi, Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Kagoshima, all of these 12 should make the top-11, even when I wouldn't want to remove some of the other ones. So please, next time you want to use some epic number, make it a top-42 :-)
