Deep Japan: This is a Side of Nara You Have Never Seen!
Book a spot at Kitsune TODAY: bit.ly/4aGi0aG
In this episode, Shizuka discovers a quiet side of Nara! With the tourism booming and touristic places becoming overcrowded, sometimes you just want to be alone and enjoy a moment of zen! Well these places in Nara give you just that!
The trip starts by a visit to a quaint little town Oji, famous for its cute mascot Yukimaru. Here you can visit a Daruma temple to learn of its meaning and even paint your own little daruma. The temple has a beautiful garden where one can enjoy freshly whisked matcha while looking at the zen garden.
Shizuka then finds a local hidden gem: Oji ramen! The owner has been making ramen for 40 years and he crafts a bowl of ramen that's truly remarkable!
Back in Nara’s old town, Shizuka wanders through its alleyways to find a stylish restaurant Kitsune, where you can try some of the most delectable sukiyaki, featuring local wagyu beef..
Enjoy the moment of peace, away from the crowds in Nara!

Shiiiiiizyyyy bowing front of a deer yaay! No more cuteness available atm for sure
Watching this made me wanna learn Japanese and live in Japan: love the energy! ...and the food obviously ☺
it is worth it!
Thank you for this. I've been married to my Japanese wife for 20 years with a 16 yr old son and we stop by Nara where she is from. Yes, I know that area by Nara station. It's like walking back in time. Some of the best food on the planet. Keep the travel blog going and we are fans.
thank you so much! Glad to see there are fans of Nara here! So much to explore there!
All of those meals looks SO delicious! My taste buds would be in heaven. That Koroko Daruma is definitely you Shizuka! A wonderful presentation. Thank you!
So glad you liked it!
Another super video that left me hungry. I enjoy the old Japanese locations.
You and me both!
Been to Japan and have seen all the major touristy things. In the future, I really want to go "off the beaten path" as you did in this video. Thank you for sharing!
Please do!
We were just there in Nara...feeding the deers. What a experience. I miss Japan already and can't wait for the next time.
We will wait for your return!
Likewise.
Oishi!!!
Now THIS is my speed. Nara is so much more than “Nara Park” and its deer. Thanks for sharing!
Hundred percent!
静香様 いつものように専門知識とエネルギーで奈良の素晴らしいビデオをお届けします! Miss Shizuka, awesome video of Nara as always with your expert knowledge and energy! 👍❤😃❤️👍ウェンダル斉藤
I am so overwhelmed with your presentations and as a fan of ramen (I love the little shops) you have again enticed my taste buds. The sukiyaki looks so wonderful as well, ...thank goodness I had already eaten before viewing this. But it's not going to stop me from thinking of it.
Glad you like them!
Shizuka you did a nice job on that Daruma !!!
She really did, didn't she?!

Wow! Those beef dishes look really good!

Another great video, Shizuka-san! Thank you! What was the flavor of the ice cream in the monaka? Did I miss it?
As always a great Shizuka vlog ! Big question is did Shizuka get mugged by the deer again ?
Almost!
Oh weird! For the first time, I could hear Shizuka ca-RUNCHIN' on them enoki! Ha ha.. it actually made it more real and vibrantly delicious!
Camera guy was like: "Hello darkness my old friend. I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creaming. Left its seeds while I was drooling And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of my stomach....
I always never skip all the advertisements evendo sometimes there are advertisements that exceed to 5 minutes ... To show my love and support to ... Ms. Anderson !!! Such a beautiful lady and all of her contents here ❤️
You're the best!
my next japan trip gonna be off the beaten path. no more touristy place
Yay for that!
ぜんぶおいしそう!
ですね!
That sukiyaki at Kitsune looks so good!
Ohhh, sukiyaki 😍🥰
Homie here never had a bad meal 😅😅... everything is yummy or delicious or fantastic
No cap!
Anyone know where to get that jacket she is wearing?
Great video! Please, a little less food and much more Japan travel.
I'm not sure whether Bodhidharma had been to Japan, he was in China then. Nonetheless, the Yukimaru story is very interesting.
The Tendai sect of Buddhism has a myth that he did not return to India from China but instead travelled to Japan and met with Prince Shotoku. Then again they also believe he cut his eyelids off to avoid falling asleep during meditation and when they fell to the ground they sprouted the first green tea plants so who knows what is true. ;)
Kyoto is insane with tourism right now. Even the locals are extremely fatigued, unfortunate they get 2 extremes, either absolutely nothing during COVID, or half the world going to Kyoto all at once. Please AVOID the main cities when travelling to Japan and do not LITER! The littering is getting out of control.
Thanks again byfood. Was at Nara just last year. The deer's are sooo adorable and friendly. Hope Shiz didn't stepped on any deer poop ! 💩💩💩

In this episode Shizuka recovering from tongue surgery after a new one was donated by a family whose daughter died from liver poisoning, apparently had one too many fried oysters which produced an effect her new tongue warned her about and even after drinking all that Japanese Saki a quick dash back home was suggested by the producers.
Yes, I have seen that side of Japan. Please try to be more truthful in your titles in the future.
Maybe YOU have seen it, but others have not, including myself!
@@spang9782 spang, fine, but I have, so the video title is not exactly truthful.
@@earlysdaAh, because the world revolves around YOU, right?
@@spang931 Wow, spang. So sorry to see that huge block is making your shoulders sag. . You can drop it and learn about the English language if you want!
@@earlysda OK Boomer
hi, shizuka, are you still single?
