Hey guys! Welcome to Oita in Japan. I'm Norm and this is Shiori!

I am kind of taking over from Emma today hosting this video– actually just as Emma left,

基礎数量詞

I arrived and so yeah! We have been here... how many days now?

I think the first day was the busiest. What did we do on the first day?

We went to Beppu. We did so many things. We woke up so early!

I think our day kicked off at something like 7 o'clock in the morning and then, what was the first thing we did that day?

Oh my goodness! Let's give a little bit of a description of what the suna-yu was. Do you want to explain it?

The aunties dig a hole in the sand and then you will just lie there and relax for 15 minutes.

Yeah, but they cover you with sand right?

Yup, with the sand. And then you only have your head out of the sand so you look so... what is it.. suspicious.

I'm not sure this description is correct or not but...

Suspicious is a perfect Shiori description. It's absolutely perfect.

But you have a nice little umbrella to prevent you from the brightness of the sun.

It was really bright actually! Yeah! It was more pressure than I expected.

Yeah, yeah! It's quite heavy. What did you think about the experience?

At first, I thought it was the most relaxing thing ever because

it's like a weighted blanket, so you're like, "oh this is really comfortable!" but

you can't move your arms or your legs and then you start to itch. I had one piece of

like sweat running down and then going like, "Oh I can't itch it, I can't itch it!"

Right! But you actually put your thumbs up.

Right! But suna-yu is one short-time activity because you can only do 15 minutes at one go.

So if you only have a short amount of time but you want to relax, you want to sweat and refresh a bit,

I think this is a really good way to experience the onsen culture in Japan.

And it's really famous here in Beppu too, right?

Like the day before, I was hanging out with another TC member, Dogen and that

was the first thing he suggested: "Why don't we go to the sand baths?".

We didn't go but yes, I'm glad I got to go. What did we do after that?

After that, we went through the very very beautiful mountain!

I think we were not sure where we were because-

But maybe for you as a creator, it's very fun to be there to shoot, right?

It was fun to be there and it was like high pressure because I was like, "do we have five minutes?" , "do we have 20 minutes?"

"How many pictures can I get?",  "How many videos can I get?". I really liked it! That was nice.

We moved on pretty quickly from there and went to...

Rakuten-chi! Yes, yes, yes, sorry! The mountain-top theme park!

You've been living in Asakusa for a while so you can compare Hanayashiki and Rakuten-chi, I guess because Rakuten-chi is 90 years old!

Yeah and Hanayashiki is like the oldest theme park in Japan, if you

don't know what it is, but I think the fact that you get to take the cable car

and the fact that Rakuten-chi is not crowded– for me, Rakuten-chi wins.

Because Hanayashiki is great. It's one of those places where, from the outside it

looks this big and then when you go inside, it's this big!

I hated lining up for rides as a kid but here, you actually can be like a kid and enjoy the nice little rides as well.

I like the roller coaster the most! It was so fun.

This is actually the first place I've been to in Japan where people would

get off the ride and line back up because of the line, right? That's how NOT crowded it was.

Yeah, I think I can try most of the rides because I'm only 150cm so maybe I can try more rides. He was joking around so much and making so many small jokes.

Oh! The ice-cream there was also really nice.

And after Rakuten-chi, we drove a bit and went to the Jigoku-dani (Hell Night).

You actually went there with Dogen, right? The day before.

and he knew so much about it so he took me to all the like– the little back

streets where the steam is coming up from the street and that's why, like at

night, that river that I took you guys to,

Dogen showed that to me and we actually had food-steamed, hot-spring steamed food, yeah.

I don't know why but I feel like all the vegetables were softer than usual and it was so nice.

So you know how like the onsen, sulfur steam kind of smells like eggs, right? So,

to me like the egg tasted extra eggy. Does that make sense? That the egg tasted extra eggy? The egg was very pungent!

And because the egg was a different color, right?

Yeah, yeah! So it was a really dark colored egg.

It was a nice day one. That was pretty much what we did, and the next day, we went to Yufu City! How was that?

I personally loved the drive into it... so much! And the city itself... I was

surprised because Beppu was so quiet but Yufu is so popular!

You're right– I feel like it had the vibes of Asakusa or Kyoto– touristy areas but there was so much

energy because the town itself is so beautiful so we kept walking

around and then checking the small souvenir shops are very fun. The museum! The Showa Era museum!

Like, it makes you feel like nostalgic, even if you're not like--

I wasn't in Japan during that period but like any time like, when

I first came to Japan back in like in 2005, every single time I would visit

friends grandparents or something, their house looked like that room that we sat

in, right? So. Welcome to a new segment we're doing here on TV Play where I just sit

with Shiori in unique places and talk about stuff and things. The first

thing that I ever became obsessed with in Japan was dagashi (penny candy) so like to

see the dagashi setups and stuff like that– so you get like this kind of

feel like these type of chairs and something. They actually keep some of this stuff in Tokyo

they actually have little, like games, yeah! These phones are usually black, right?

Yeah, that's why they call them like black phone, right? We have them in all

different colors! It didn't have to be black. One of my friends was telling

me that after the earthquake when phones wouldn't connect, they connected their

Really? So this is like their emergency phone then?

So this is the sento (public bath) entrance. So usually here, obaa-san or ojii-san (grandma or grandpa) is waiting–

the reception, a lady or man is already waiting for the customer and the men

entering from here, and women come in from here and where the cameraman is positioned, there should be a wall

but this person can see both the naked men and naked women, collecting the

money to enter the sento or onsen. It's so interesting right?

After that, we ate soba and then we drove back to the hotel, where we took a bit of a rest before shooting stars.

We wanted to do some night photography. That didn't play out the way we expected it to though.

It was fun! How do I say it? We really wished we could've filmed those extra fun moments... could you explain what happened to us?

So basically, we got out there! We got out into the mountains and we were like all excited and then all
