[Chiba Vlog] Japanese for Traveling

Hello everyone This is Akane from Akane's Japanese Classroom Today I'm excited to introduce you to a must-visit destination in Chiba Prefecture—Sawara Sawara is located in Katori City just a 30-minute drive from Narita Airport or about an hour by train It's still not too crowded with tourists so it's truly recommended Today I'll also share some useful Japanese phrases for traveling First let's check into the hotel I've arrived at the hotel Even though it's still early the staff just told me I can check in ahead of time so I'm going to go ahead and do it Thank you for visiting today We'll handle the procedures from here Please write your name and address here That's right—since the name and address were already written they just said "Please write your date of birth " Date of birth: Write down the year month and day you were born — your birthday You'll often hear phrases like "please fill this in" or "we kindly ask that you complete this " which are polite ways of saying "please write this in " This is the room where I'll be staying tonight Wow So lovely This hotel is truly amazing so I’ll详细介绍 the room and dining experiences in another video What a wonderful room this is I'm able to stay in such a lovely room thanks to Notion This time it's a collaboration with Notion I made a schedule before heading to Chiba this time I shared it with my friend The one they sent me via LINE earlier Exactly That's precisely what Notion is With Notion you can share schedules lists and other content I've created with others—even if they don't have an account I've been using Notion consistently since last year for things like managing work schedules or the travel itinerary I mentioned a moment ago The other thing I use most often is my list of places I want to shoot In fact this hotel where I'm staying now I discovered it last year and have wanted to stay here ever since Staying at the hotel on my list of places to shoot with Notion was something I never expected so I'm truly grateful Notion allows you to collaborate with others and share all sorts of things So besides just sharing travel itineraries with friends like earlier you can also It's a really handy tool because you can share various information at work For task management for example you can organize things into categories like "in progress" or "completed " I think you'll immediately understand what you need to do right now and if you share it with your team everyone will instantly know what each person is working on—really convenient There's a Notion link in the summary section—please download it and give it a try Next let's introduce some of Sawara's top tourist attractions I visited the Inō Tadataka Memorial Museum Since photography was not allowed here I'll give you a quick introduction Ito Naoaki was the first person in Japan during the Edo period to create a map of Japan through walking surveys You can also see the actual surveying instruments he used If you're interested go check it out Next I'll buy a ticket to go on a boat There was someone near the boat ticket counter who offered to whistle for me so I thought I'd give it a try I've been playing the whistle for four years I'll do my best today Please take care of me So I choose the song I'd like to sing from here right It's a whistle isn't it I'm probably the only one in the world who can do this whistle flow Please enjoy listening with peace of mind I'd appreciate it if you could use a large pendulum clock I gave whistling a try Thank you so much May I have your Facebook name Keep Facebook as is Nishiyama Hidefumi

The strongest miso from Kyoto and this is sesame Delicious Amazing Thank you so much Delicious Suddenly but Akane's Mini Japanese Lesson When your order doesn't arrive after waiting twenty minutes or even thirty minutes or more you can't help but feel anxious especially if you're in a rush or have another appointment coming up What do you do when you need to communicate something to a shopkeeper in Japanese There are many ways to say it—for example "If the coffee hasn 't arrived yet sorry it still hasn't come " or " I ordered coffee twenty minutes ago " They haven't arrived yet I ordered coffee twenty minutes ago but it hasn't arrived yet—could you please check on it I placed an order for coffee— could you please confirm it for me There are many ways to say it— if you're worried because your order hasn't arrived at all try using this phrase right away We're about to board a boat Have you ever experienced motion sickness while riding a bus or a boat Have you ever felt nauseous due to strong motion Please let us know in the comments Amazing The water was pouring down fiercely We're setting off It's highly recommended —enjoy the scenery while learning about the history of the sailfish How was today's amberjack Vlog everyone Did you enjoy it The staff at the shop were all so kind and let us shoot plenty of footage That's all for today's video See you next week Bye-bye Thank you so much for always leaving such wonderful comments The Notion I introduced today can be used in many different ways Please download and try it out —there's a link in the video description That's
