I can’t wait to be there! Thank you once again for another amazing video, Japan Guide!🤩
I would find it so hard to eat Japanese food because it looks like art
Does the ryugon have a name? or is it a ryugon named ryugon?
The food and quality onsen in that region !! Bar none.
Happy to know this channel has survived through the very difficult time! Though Corona is not gone yet, at least foreign tourists are coming back to Japan. Hope this year we will see more great videos like this from you!
Thank you Japan-Guide and Raina for the excellent video , I've just went to Nagaoka, Niigata for work and the country side view (Inaka 田舎) is absolutely gorgeous.
The road trip series on Japan-guide is really informative and really helpful in guiding us to plan road trip in Japan.
Last time use to watch Japan hour on channel news Asia on Singapore TV only reading the subtitles, but Japan-Guide brings it one step further and teach us(English speakers ) how to plan a good trip in Japan .
Thank you once again!
Looks relaxing. Too bad the masks are still a thing. It's deterring visitors.
Thank you! Very enjoyable and helpful
Another great video from Raina Ong. The 3 day trips to less frequently visited areas are most interesting.
Yes! Now I am 100% sure I need to visit Niigata in May. Thank you so much for this video, it helped me a lot ^^
Additional side trip:
From Echigo Yuzawa Station take Joetsu Line to Doai Station. Japan most craziest, most creepy Biohazard game kind station.
Great video and amazing work! Thank you, Raina for showing us the beauty of Niigata. I hope to visit soon!
Finally a full-fledged video again! Thanks. If you ever return to Niigata, add to your itinerary what Niigata is known for in the world: koi breeders or at least a koi museum.
