Hello everyone. I'm Jun, a Japanese language teacher. I am in a car right now. Inside the car... Hello. OK JAPANESE, it's okay. Yes. I apologize. I'm currently in the car with Okayasan. Today, let's be together... Where are you going? We are going to a beautiful green place. Yes. We're going to a beautiful place with plenty of nature. Yeah. Do you all know? I am going to a place called Kōran-gawa. Honglan Stream is a place where the autumn leaves are very beautiful. Well, it's a famous tourist destination in Japan, isn't it? Yes, it's a famous tourist destination located in Aichi Prefecture. Right now, can you see a bit of orange? Yellow? It's beautiful, isn't it. It really is beautiful. During the autumn foliage season, many tourists come here. Located in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. I think I'll go by car now. Let's go. Let's go. I'm looking forward to it. Are you hungry? There are also snacks. There are also snacks. Yes. Then, let's all go. I'm looking for a parking space right now, but there are too many people—it's overcrowded. So, there's absolutely no parking space available. It's incredibly popular, isn't it? It's a weekday today, you know. I just found a parking spot, but I'm not sure if it's okay to park there, so... I asked someone here. There was no one. There was no one? Then we must not stop here. But there were plenty of signs saying "Parking" placed around, though. I might not have done it today. But there are people who do stop, aren't there? Yeah, right. What could it be, I wonder? Since people from other towns are also stopping there, It might be okay to stop, but perhaps I must not stop. It might be. I see. So I need to park the car a bit away from the toll gate area and then go on foot. But it's so beautiful that walking there must be enjoyable. Something's wrong, let's stop. Let's look for it. Ah, what about that place there? Parking P. It's written here. It's written here. Shall we go check it out? Let's go check it out. Ah, there you are. Someone has come. Oh, someone's coming. Shall we ask? Then, go and find out. Please. I'm not here. Are you doing this at a parking lot? Ah, here? You're listening now. Where is it? Next to this. Is 800 yen okay? 800 yen. This is the closest. It's okay here, you know. OK. Good. Got it. Lucky. Thank you. It's extremely crowded. Is it okay to stop here? I'm fine. Really? Thank you so much. Good. Lucky. Stop it. Even if I tell you to stop. It's crowded, isn't it? Such a kind person. This is probably a private place. But the thing is, You said it was okay to stop, didn't you. Great luck! The bag is better. You're so kind. Happy. Is it okay here? You don't always do it, do you? Do you do it sometimes? It's like, I'll do it when it gets crowded. Sorry, thank you. If it's not crowded, We backed down and gave in, With this, Good, good. I managed to stop it safely. Is the parking lot always empty? No, I do it sometimes. It's done occasionally, like that. Yes, yes. We end up doing it based on our mood. On a whim. Amazing. Thank you so much. You're messing around, huh? Everyone, When I thought it was really tough, Just do it a little. It's very busy today. I was surprised, even though it was a regular day. Sorry, thank you. Good, good. Well then, shall we all go now? Looking forward to it, looking forward to it. It's a bit cold, isn't it? It's cold. This is my father's. That's right. I think I'll head off now. Everyone, please look here. There are so many cars here. But I was lucky. I was really lucky. Seriously. Good. But I'm hungry. I'm hungry, aren't I? Let's eat something. It's on. It's on. See? Where is Mike? It was here. In your pocket? I see. Yeah. Do you know any good restaurants? Something about... Soba restaurants, or something like that, There are lots of Japanese-style shops here. That's right. I'd like to go to a soba restaurant or a set meal place then. I want to go. Have you eaten lunch already? I haven't eaten yet. Just right. I'm hungry. If we find a decent restaurant, let's just go in casually. Look, everyone. It's already very beautiful from here. Still a bit green, but There are many orange, yellow, and red trees here. No, the traffic jam is really severe. That's great! Yeah, good, good. Then let's go. Let's go. Just now, before entering Takabanayu, I happened to spot a shopping street. Shopping street? You know, there are lots of food stalls too. Look, please. Here, pottery. They also sell pottery. Beautiful. I'm so hungry it looks incredibly beautiful, don't you think? It's already turned yellow. How about it? Does your country have something like that? Are there any autumn leaves? Wow, nice. What should we do? Shall we go sightseeing while eating? Want to go inside the store? I want to go in, but I'm not inside yet. Hey, is it free? Well, there are all sorts of things, aren't there. There are still many left. Then let's take a little walk. Let's go for a walk. Wow, it smells really good. There are many Japanese tourists, aren't there? You're right. Since it's sunny today, the weather is great, so it's perfect. No, it's great. The weather is nice. Good. Wow, it's so beautiful. It's truly red already. Look here. In places like Canada, there are autumn leaves, aren't there? Amazingly beautiful. I used to live in Canada, but The fall foliage in Canada was also very beautiful. But there are also countries without autumn foliage, you know. What do you want to eat? Buckwheat? Buckwheat? I wonder if there's any? Set meal. Let's eat if we have it. Amazingly beautiful. It's super crowded, isn't it? But it's really beautiful, too. Really beautiful. Amazing. Today is Wednesday, after all. Because it's Wednesday and already this crowded, Saturdays and Sundays are a bit scary, you know. No, it's different from before. It used to be a bit more open back then, wasn't it? Probably before the coronavirus. It's a river, a river. There are also rivers. You're telling the truth. Amazingly beautiful. Can you see it, everyone? Amazing. River. There is a river, and Entering into this mountain of autumn foliage, You can walk around and explore various places. Which one? That way? Amazing. There are still many shops left, aren't there? There seems to be a lot going on here. Is it decreasing? From here, we enter the Kōtama Line. I see. You can eat this too, see? Here too. Mountain-heap udon. Meat udon. Chicken and egg rice bowl. There are even more restaurants over there. Really? Then let's go. I'm hungry. First. It's already around 2 o'clock? You know it. I think the last time I came here was about 10 years ago. Ten years ago. Me too. I've already forgotten it, haven't I? You seem to be coming here for the first time. There are so many amazing people here. The river is beautiful too. Then let's find a restaurant. I hope it's free. Around there, I think. I'm getting hungry. Did you eat breakfast? Bread. Just bread? Beautiful. Amazing, really beautiful. Red. It's red. Look, this is beautiful, isn't it? Good. I've been really busy lately, so it was difficult to find the time to come, but it's great that I happened to arrive at just the right moment. Really beautiful. I would like to walk around here later. Beautiful. So beautiful, look. Really beautiful. That's amazing. Beautiful. That's enough here. I'm done, me. You can go back now without any problem. Can I go home now? I'm glad I got to see this view. That's great! But you can probably walk a little way into the mountains, right? I can walk. Let's take a look after having some rice. Are you going? Let's go. Now we walked a little further from the place where many people were. This area is incredibly beautiful too. There's also a hot spring here, isn't there? Yeah. That's why there's a hot spring too. I'll keep you here all day long. The weather is nice too, it's perfect. Now OK-san found a delicious-looking restaurant on Google Maps. This one, this one. Really? Amazing. Really great vibe. I wonder if it's free. It would be nice if it were empty. Are you free? Salad buffet. Looks delicious. The salad buffet is amazing. Available? I wonder. Two people are free. Two people, I suppose. Then, this seat here. Yes, thank you. It was empty. It was really empty. Good. It's the best. I'm looking forward to it. It's good because I can eat plenty of vegetables. Look here. This is a salad bar where you can eat as many different vegetables as you like. Looks delicious. I humbly receive. It's healthy and delicious, isn't it? I ordered takoyaki. I humbly receive. Looks really delicious. A bit spicy fried chicken. Delicious. You can visit many places of interest now. Let's go. It was delicious. It was delicious, wasn't it? Let's go see the high栏 creek together. It feels good. It's not too hot, is it? It's not too cold. Shall we go this way? I wonder if I can get there from this side. We've come to the mountains of Takabanigawa, haven't we? Amazingly beautiful. I came here about ten years ago. That's when I was 24 years old. It's nostalgic. When I was 24, I was working at a company. I used to work at a company called EON. Do you know anyone? EON is a company where you can learn English. A company specializing in English conversation. I was teaching English to Japanese people there. I worked there for about a year, didn't I? About one year. But I was working together with people from abroad. I had colleagues from America, Britain, and Australia. It might be a good company for those who want to teach English in Japan. You really liked that job, didn't you? It was fun, you know. It was fun because I liked teaching. It's so beautiful. I came here when I was 24 years old. The holidays at that time were Sunday and Monday. It's quite unusual, isn't it? Usually, Saturdays and Sundays are days off, aren't they? But my company was closed on Sundays and Mondays. I remember coming here on Monday because Sundays are crowded on holidays. It was truly beautiful back then, wasn't it? Shall we go over here for a bit? Amazing. Yeah, it was really beautiful. I went there at night back then. That's why the entire area is illuminated at night. So the view I'm seeing now is completely different from what I saw back then. So it's fine to visit both if you have time. The night is incredibly beautiful. It was incredibly beautiful. That was fun, wasn't it? I was having so much fun at work that, honestly, I didn't want to quit. I didn't want to quit. I didn't want to quit, but I really wanted to travel again. Because I was young, I wanted to go to even more and more places, I have decided to quit that job. But it was fine, after all. I had probably been working for about a year already. But I think I could probably have worked for about three years. But it's good that you quit, isn't it? That's why I quit back then, and that's why I have this life today. I think it's good that there is this lifestyle. This place is amazing. It's incredibly beautiful. There are all kinds of events going on, aren't there? This place is like a café, isn't it? Looks like a café. Look at this. It's called a windmill. There are many windmills here. This is a beautiful café. A very beautiful café. You can also drink alcohol here. I am heading toward Imagawa. Indeed, it's good to see nature. Can you hear the sound of the river? It's beautiful. That's amazing. Beautiful. You were just there a moment ago. I just crossed that red bridge. The autumn leaves are truly beautiful. This is a place where you can relax and take it easy. Beautiful. I wonder if there's also a ryokan here. But perhaps I might be able to come from Nagoya. There might be a tour, perhaps. I think I'd like to relax here a bit and connect with nature. You've come all the way to the very back, haven't you? There are many stalls and shops here, you know. Because there was nothing here when I came before. Probably because many more tourists have come lately. I wonder if it's newly created. There are also many cafes. I truly thought there was nothing left at all. But there are also amazing places to eat. You can actually spend your entire day here. Really beautiful. Also, there are not many foreigners around. But it's really popular among Japanese people. There are foreigners, but there are also other tourists. Compared to other places like Kyoto or Osaka, there aren't any at all. You're performing well, aren't you? It's beautiful. The hiking here is easy to walk because the mountains aren't steep. It's great because anyone can go hiking. It feels good, huh. I think I'll just relax a bit. Where should I go next? Shall we go then? It's moromi. Wild vegetables. Looks delicious. Souvenir. You must be tired. I was tired, but it was beautiful. That was fun, wasn't it? It was farther than I thought. Thanks for the ride. Thank you so much. I had a great time. More so than I thought. It takes about an hour from Nagoya. There was also traffic congestion. Yes, that's right. But it was fun and great. Let's relax at a café and head home afterward. Let's take our time and go back. Will you lie down and sleep slowly? Thank you all for watching today as well. See you in the next video. See you later. Thank you. You may know grammar and words, but When actually using it in conversation Nothing is coming out. It might be difficult to understand when Japanese people speak. You're right, aren't you? You are not alone. A large number of students are packed into the same place as you. That is why I am this I created the 60-Day Breakthrough Beginner Japanese Boot Camp. Many students study Japanese on YouTube. Receive the class I will study the text. But they can't practice much. Please think about it. Learn the rules of baseball and soccer. But in reality, I cannot practice it. You will never become better. It's the same in Japanese. But most people are always practicing. That's why many students are between N5 and N4. I am studying Japanese. It's not because their Japanese is poor. But they don't have the space to actually apply what they've learned. Here, students such as those at the N4 and N3 levels can use it. It can be used by students at levels N4 and N3, among others. or students such as those at the N5 level You can study N4 Japanese in a very imaginative way. This boot camp is Shadowing, Dictation or vocabulary and vocabulary practice You can actually study Japanese. This boot camp is Not only vocabulary skills, but also the ability to use vocabulary I am focusing solely on learning. During the previous boot camp Many students are studying for the N4. I've surpassed the beginner level. This time I reviewed the previous 40-day Japanese boot camp. Reduce the daily workload I can study actively. Or randomize the quality of the vocabulary review questions You can keep what you've studied fresh. And maintain motivation for 60 days Once again, this is not a passive class. This boot camp is You can study Japanese every day. And you can enjoy it. Upon completing the daily work for 60 days You are completely different This is my version. This is What you have learned Something will be used. or I can understand it. I can say that. Or, I can speak it. When you truly master N4 You can engage in basic conversations. I am confident. In this boot camp It begins on December 12. And then It will end on March 13. We are all in the same boat. We are moving forward toward the same goal. You can access it for 120 days. Therefore, even if you lose a few days or a few weeks, You're still in your own space But if you are able to, Please try studying a little every day. It will make a big difference.
