Hey guys! We're in Yahiko village in Niigata prefecture.
And we're going to be splitting up these next two days,
going to completely separate areas,
Jun with the boy group, I'm with the girl group.
So we're going to head out, and let us know what you guys think!
This is all-encompassing of Yahiko.
Pandayaki (fried Panda) ((NOT ACTUAL PANDA))
Supposedly they sell out really quickly in the morning so hopefully they have some left for us!
Where are you from? America.
Oh, is that so?
Are you fluent in Japanese?
NONONO I'm still studying!!
You're so good! HA. HA. THANK YOU
This place's specialty is this edamame paste one.
And they also have anko, custard, cheese, and chocolate.
Oooh.
One edamame please!
Thank you. Alright.
Ooo it's warm.
Here's my panda guy.
They're so floppy. I can't stop doing this.
It's like the best.
It's really chewy.
Yum.
They're so nice that they're giving us some tea.
Omg that's great! I'm so thirsty, that's perfect.
This is really good. I was worried it would taste like edamame vegetables but
it tastes sweet.
It's SUPPOSED to taste like edamame because it's made of vegetables!
You were worried about that??
I mean, I was worried it would be like a bitter vegetable taste but
it's sweet.
Thank you, it was delicious!
Let's take a picture.
Okay!
I think she wants to take a picture of us.
[awww SHE'S SO ADORABLE FSDFASDG]
Okay, cheese, thanks
Thanks for the meal!
Cute! Cute! (^ 0 ^)
So we'll go on their wall now with all their cool people signatures (I guess?!)
Oh, they have some pictures there I guess!
Cute.
You need a hand?
You want me to pass it to you? Yes, please!
Thank you!
I was saying I should have brought my gopro so I could get these hot feet shots.
So you can put it underwater?? :'D
Because wouldn't that be an awesome shot?
Just people's feet. Underwater.
OOH KOI I DIDN'T SEE THE KOI
Dude, your mouth is coming out of your mouth.
Freaking me out a little bit, buddy.
Will they follow me? That's the question.
What do you think about THIS
DUNNDAHDAHDAHDAH *running noises*
heeheheeheh
Omg, I think this is our hotel??
How do we get inside??
I think there's another entrance.
We went around the wrong side. It's on the other side.
We made it to the onsen.
He's like Julius Caesar or something.
He is. :'D
We got special permission to film at the onsen.
ermergeeeeersh
This looks like it would be amazing.
This says that there's a lot of nature here
and so if there are bugs or leaves, you should just go in the onsen with them.
or if it's really bothering you, then they have this
that you can use to scoop them out.
It's so cute how they said it!
"Please let them take a bath with you."
This is our lunchro- OHHHYESSSSS
Yesssss look at thissssss
I'm going to give Mimei my edamame.
Thank you so much!
So we're getting lunch here at the ryokan that we're staying at,
and it's BEAUTIFUL! It's a traditional Japanese meal.
We're all quite full still from our super big mochi panda bear,
But...
we'll do our best. :)
Kampaaaaai!
Thank you!
Unbeknownst to us, we're getting more food.
LOOK AT ALL OF THIS.
There are so many plates now.
I have sashimi...
and this.
Not even-I don't even know.
Looks like eggplant, and meat,
and I don't even know.
It's black.
A black thing.
Ooh, duck?!
If you thought we were done
YOU WERE WRONG
Now we have soba!
This is an entire thing of soba.
Okay. Soba time.
That's like one meal.
I know!!
I'm just going to keep going. I'll just keep chugging away.
I ate my sashimi
and I'm also eating Mimei's sashimi.
She's asking how many of our next courses we want.
Next was rice with miso soup.
And we're like (‘;△;`) NOOO. noooooo...
Here comes dessert!
Thank you!
Got some fresh fruit and stuff.
I still ta eat mah soba.
The spoils of our lunch.
This is absurd.
Table tennis is not available today?!
They have table tennis!!
It's not available? NOOO WHAT?!
Here's our room! oh waat
Aww, this is adorable.
A radio? It has a cassette- Do you know how to use it?
Like if I gave you a cassette, what would you do?
21 year old Millie tries to figure out a cassette player.
I've seen them before, and I've used it several times.
Cassette player challenge video.
Millie reacts to: cassette players!
Shuffle...
We're like old *** holes.
"COME ON MILLIE" "FIGURE IT OUT MILLIE"
"This is what we had to LIVE WITH" "You think you're so smart, huh MILLIE?!"
"Can't even figure out a cassette player, Millie?!"
You're so mean!
[EVERYONE GASPS]
You did it!
Way to go, Millie.
I think that's my favorite part of the day.
So, some places in Japan offer free hotels for you to borrow.
I- Free hotels... - o -
Some HOTELS in Japan offer free UMBRELLAS for you to borrow.
So that's very fortunate.
Is this it?
We're already here.
Oh, this is it?
So this is a matcha (green tea) cafe.
Matcha au lait is one of the best drinks of all time.
Actually... yeah. If they have hot matcha au lait...
I highly recommend that to you guys if you come to Japan.
Millie just said sesame cheeseca- GOMA CHEESECAKE?!
Goma is like my favorite thing and cheesecake is like my favorite thing...!!
YESSS
yesss o▽o
Mimei's matcha ice cream. That's really beautiful.
YAY omg it's so big!
Look at the huge cream!
I don't really taste the goma very much.
It tastes like cheesecake. Very delicious cheesecake.
Bunnies!!!
In Yahiko, legend says that bunnies used to destroy the crops
until the gods gathered them up and scolded them.
The bunnies apologized, hence their bowing pose,
and the natives of Yahiko designed bunny snacks in that image
to show their appreciation to the gods.
Oh gosh, it's so dark.
[Sorry for the ear-piercing crickets]
I cannot see that on this camera whatsoever.
You just have to imagine. Use your imagination, viewers of YouTube.
We're heading in that way to see if we can find the light up stuff.
I just stepped in a large puddle.
The moment of truth. We shall soon see...
The god bridge, or the special bridge--is it lit up?
Is it lit up?
Is it lit up?!
Is it?!?
I see nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
No.
It is in fact not lit up.
Umm... nothing is lit up.
Except... some little lanterns here.
OH GOD
JESUS OHHGHH
MILLIE'S RIGHT HERE
THIS PLACE IS SCARY
Shall we head back to the hotel? Yeah.
There's not really much going on here.
Day 2 coming soon!
