Spending my Birthday Alone On Japan's Art Islands
Join me on my solo trip to Naoshima and Teshima islands, Japan's art islands. I spend my birthday alone this year, and see the sights as well as some lesser known ones, and get another year wiser along the way.

A LUXURY private Onsen in Hakone
Переглядів 6 тис.5 місяців тому
Most of this video was too loud to even consider putting music over! This is the sound of Japanese Summer. Hakone is the perfect getaway from Tokyo, only about 1.5 hours on the train. If you book a night a ryokan, (a traditional Japanese inn) in hot-spring areas, you can expect onsen (hot springs) and traditional kaiseki food, though many serve a buffet these days. There's a big range in prices...

Rethinking alcohol

An introvert goes out to not drink, but then ends up drinking anyhow, because, well, orange wine. Goes out drinking, rethinks alcohol and life.

Birthday vlog on Tokyo Station Hotel - an important cultural property in Japan, built in a European style with red bricks which stands out among all the modern skyscrapers at Tokyo station. Threw in some pearls of wisdom (seriously how many times did I say that!) appropriate to turning a year older but also relevant to living in a pandemic. For me it's been a lot of over-worrying so thought I w...

Wow this was such a wonderful watch Eric, Esme and I really enjoyed seeing and reflecting on your travels. You should come here and we can vlog and explore?!?! Miss you chica
Sounds like an Illinois summer lol
happy birthday.
Happy Birthday Erica! ❤
Happy Birthday!
thank you, that was calming :)
Wonderful
Shin Yokohama! My Aunt lives in Katakura Cho!
Happy birthday and have fun solo traveling, enjoy! Can I challenge you to fly DJI Neo drone. 😅 birthday present
lol would love that 😆
Joyeux Anniversaire Erica! greetings from France. this mix between art and nature reminds me of Inhotim Institute in Brazil, you should check it out. Take care !
wow you sounds so relaxed during the narration😆
I enjoyed watching this! Thank you for the great tips! I would probably totally have gotten on the wrong bus too if the direction written was the same😂
Thank you for watching! lol ikr! Such a confusing bus 😅
That bus is definitely confusing... Two busses, five minutes apart, going to the same destination, with the earlier one taking twice as long. It seems like it's designed to punish people like me who get to the bus stop early.
Ikr! I tend to be early most of the time 😅
Happy birthday! I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching 🥰
Why am I so happy to see that crazy cat woman? I love the mood of your videos! You really touch me. I feel sad seing you alone on your birthday. Please consider meeting your subscribers next year, I’d fly 14 hours all with a smile! It was fun seing some French here in there, even in your hotel rool (sans soleil, without sun). I wish you a lot of great things, you inspire me beauty, calm and kindness.
Aww thank so much, that’s so kind of you to say. Also, Je pratique le français tous les jours ces derniers temps 🥰
@ waw, bravo ! J’ai hâte de t’entendre parler français ! You must be really motivated and brave. 👏
Happy Birthday!
久しぶりー元気?
まあまあ元気😊 how about you?
@ 元気だよーありがと🙏
Teshima art museum is spiritually transforming. There's no better place to spend a birthday. HB.
Erica too busy to do this again?
Yes
Teochews stabbing peoples eyes, offers no voluntary advise because dépanneur charges money. Teochews steals money from me.
It will sound tvish
Dear Eric's I stumbled across your video I am pleased you r reconnecting fondest regards pen from yoga
Aww hey Penny! So glad you found me here 🥰 thanks for watching xx
4:01 jjsjajsjahdhahhajaj Thanks!
I’m an extremely happy introvert and find that socializing just physically and mentally drains me. Without my “alone” time I become very stressed and cannot recharge my mind and body. Perhaps this is also how you feel as well. All the best.
Your own private onsen!!! And, for a minute, I thought you said 'mochi cheesecake', not 'mochi or cheesecake' Travel safe, thank you for taking us with you!
Very chill and meditational vlog. I hope one day I have chance to go to Hakone for this type of relaxing onsen. Love the sound of summer.
Wonderful to watch, Erica :) Miss Japan now...
Aw arigatou 💜 hope you’re genki!
Thanks for sharing.
Wait can I join?
Erica is living like a queen out there in Hakone
Relax and stay safe Miss Erica😘😘😘
Relaxed watching this upload. I’m sure the real thing was worth every penny. I feel the travel time helps to make it a special destination. The room attention to detail is outstanding. The stainless steel sink top and all those small things make a big difference. Enjoy!
Lovely ❤
This looks so relaxing and beautiful. It is my dream to one day stay in a Ryokan (with private onsen). The kaiseki looks amazing.
That looked lovely and the food delicious. My only question is why on earth anyone would order 'western food' in a setting like that?
what
Basically because the traditional Japanese breakfast (rice, fish, miso soup, pickles and more) can be quite full on, a lot of tourists who aren’t breakfast people might prefer a lighter brekkie (bread and yogurt etc ) and so might avoid wasting food by choosing a western one..
@@EricaLion But also I don’t think anyone whose ever been to Japan a lot would ask that question. The question is problematic on other levels - like this person seems to want to dictate and even fetishize what traditional Japanese culture is supposed to be. I don’t know. The tone of the question bothered me. All the time I’ve spent in Japan - western food is just as much a part of Japanese cuisine as anything.
@@helpfulcommenter That is completely, 100% wrong and I'm baffled by you take on my comment. My point was the Japanese food looked delicious and I didn't see the point of travelling somewhere and eating the same old food.
@@EricaLion That's a fair point. Personally, if I ever make it to Japan I'd diving into the Japanese breakfast - though my caffeine addiction might be an issue. 😃
I like all your YT contents and I'm always proud of you whenever there is a new upload. Sending you my best wishes.
Aww this is so kind of you, thank you 🥰
I could get lost in watching the wind in those trees.
I only recently became comfortable with the fact that though I like living in a busy city surrounded by many people, I don't really want to spend time interacting with people. I am alone but not lonely and I enjoy it.
100/10
Thank you 🥰
Very relaxing, hope your refreshed n fully charged again :).
So cozy and comfortable 😍
👋🏻👍🏼🫰🏻
Looks so calming, wish Im in an onsen now.
hey its been a while
Hehe the road to Shimo, I know it well! Who did you meet up with? Miss you my friend
Wish I was there! I mean, maybe not in the heat, but I really hope I can get back to Japan soon. Let’s talk again soon!
are you product of wmaf?
Would love to see some videos on countryside of Japan; Tokyo is nice as I have been there several times, but countryside (excluding onsen areas perhaps?) seems to have totally different vibe and is less visited by tourists.
Thank you for sharing, Erica! I know for me, hot and humid weather really is SO draining. In that environment, I find myself not at my best in ALL things. I think that's a big part of it, along with being in a large city with few connections will feel isolating. Give yourself grace when you feel things were left undone, there will be tomorrow and live in the moment. Take care!
