[Music] hello everybody welcome to Tokyo creative play I'm first Emma and I'm Natasha and right now we are in Yamaha okay so we're almost at the end of ultra we've had a wonderful tour and this tour has been made by Japan post group so they offer a five-day tour a seven-day tour and a 10-day tour and you can travel all over the north of Japan so you've seen us explore and travel in the past two videos so this will be the last video of our series last video but we're gonna be exploring some amazing places so today we are visiting ginzan onsen which is this beautiful rustic traditional town in Yamagata yeah so ginzan onsen actually used to be a mining town again is silver and done is mountain so it's like silver mountain so it used to be a mining town about 500 years ago and then gradually it closed down and now it's a beautiful onsen town so while we're here we're gonna be checking out some onsen getting lots of lots of food once again and see what else there is to do around here but one thing it looks super super beautiful this is one of the most beautiful places I've been to see really does this place give you some vibes from like a particular famous Japanese anime movie nothing give you those vibes comment down below and let us know because there is a right answer alright so let's go and have a really wonderful last couple of days of the tour and go and relax and enjoy ourselves [Music] we just found some soba tea like some free soma team I've never been so busy before I don't even know how they do it who is a ghost Anna or Burma sell out a little bit [Music] my potty trick seems like a fun party so the light flavor [Music] we found a place that sells soba ice cream I've never had survived they just had silver tea and so yeah I feel like this is gonna be a pretty sober film trip I got the mixed one so it's a service offering with milk in it and I got just summer soft creams but it comes with soybean flour and black sugar syrup [Music] okay so we're in a different camera now we're vlogging our cameraman that says yeah we're all by ourselves but we just went into this cute move so that a lot of little snacks and trinkets and we got omikuji sembei I've never seen fortune cookies in Japan so I think it's time that we learn what our future is cuckoo but yeah we're also gonna go and see the waterfalls so that's we're walking through right now Kentucky's getting the shot I missed it you looked so funny just likes growing under a bush this is what it looks like when we get in the shot oh yeah coming up to the waterfall and we got across this this treacherous part [Music] [Music] Oh oh my god oh I don't know if I want to go in there alright well there's the mine I haven't had a pursuit like a decade do you believe in them it depends on what they say meant to juice into juice we are back and we are in a yukata were at the neocon and we're just relaxing and having a good time and eating a very fancy beautiful dinner after the dinner we'll head back down to Ginza onsen and go explore the town at night I'm excited yeah I'm really pumped the festival let's eat [Music] [Music] [Music] we've come for an evening stroll and ginzan onsen it's such a different sight just because of the different light beautiful it's just it's so so nice it's a little dark but it's so I always say Moody but not like Moody somehow it's romantic but also very just soothing and calming to walk around yeah it's so nice and it's nice they have the water lit up so you can kind of see through it it's it's not just dark and scary yeah yeah it looks pretty even at night so I'm gonna take a lot of nice pictures and we're just gonna take a relaxing stroll together [Music] [Music] okay so it's a very hot football it is it's meant to be very relaxing think it would be maybe in winter with a little bit of snow in it to cool it down to some whoa whoa oh man it's kind of nice to dip your foot into like a second and bring it back out and bring it back out oh you're gonna die it's gonna fall you know what it's not that bad you know how sometimes you hole into ice and it's really quite huh sometimes when you and really hot things it hurts but it feels cold now it's cold yeah I'm not gonna be fine now maybe I have a superpower or something oh my god if you don't move it around it doesn't hurt okay I think I've done it right I'm in its little bit all right okay I can't understand it now and it's good cuz there's a cold breeze tonight so this is really helping I wonder if raffia gonna be ready I think it's definitely gonna be real [Music] Emma was saying that if you if you put an egg in the water it will cook and I was like I don't think it's that hot and I put my hand in and it's not that hard what the heck I guess I feed I'm more sensitive but I wasn't expecting that I thought yeah you would definitely cook an egg in this like my feet are on fire but yeah you can just touch it no problem it's just nice I'd wash up in this she asked me what do you think it would take for us to be cooked alive are we being cooked alive right now yeah like at what point I don't think onsen can do that to you nobody ever told me ginzan onsen would be this beautiful you got to be kidding me [Music] alright so we made it back to the Ryoka and now we're gonna go in onsen and sleep we'll see you guys tomorrow oh yes to me it's the final day yeah and we um I did oh yeah my dad that means mountain temple so there's a temple right at the top of that mountain and we're eating ice blocks and we're gonna climb up to a temple we're having this delicious chewy frozen fruit bar prepped before we climb a thousand steps or more I don't know how we're gonna make it but I think this is giving me motivation motivation good energy I'm good to go let's climb [Music] this is my last bite of the popsicle and I'm really sad I might get another one when I get down I'm savoring mine playing a little bite [Music] did you know we're almost halfway up yeah we're over halfway up actually I just checked I'm sweating like a pig I heard it was worse yeah yeah it's actually not that bad but Chris O'Connell actually climbed this when it was icy maybe that's why I was was I can't imagine that so be careful when you come I guess the season really matters yeah so we're just gonna kill you keep climbing keep on climbing keep the faith baby it's the crime my search yeah there's gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move look at this beautiful view behind us I'd say like it looks like we will fall down though I actually was just thinking like what if a kid just pushes me sure hope I mean kids are crazy they could do it [Music] let's claim that the view is in this gray it's so cheesy we're almost at the top you can see it just a few more steps I can't imagine doing this like in full Sun I was struggle I would not choose to do that the view is gonna be great [Music] [Applause] [Music] we just climbed the Emma dinner and at the top of me you might know that there's a postbox so we're gonna be sending some letters so the last thing you saw us posting some postcards it was to our friends in Japan but right now we want to send a couple of letters to our friends and family back home yeah outta Japan so I'm sending mine to my dad in Australia I'm sending to my mama example so we actually needed to put them in envelopes a common mistake to make is just sending the postcard by itself but if we're sending internationally you have to put it in an envelope oh the prices for the stamps are different depending on your destination and also the size of your envelope and you can get all this stuff just at the post office so let's sell them I have no idea how the postman is gonna come up here but poor postman 11 a.m. every weekday
