Vlog – 2017年韓国ソウル旅、北村韓屋村、仁川空港の大名行列、釧路旅行、池尻大橋の猫自転車お兄さん、西荻窪のアヒルおじさん、カワウソふれあい体験他 – MASAYO KASENO
Hello, good evening, good morning. This is Kaseno. I wanted to make a video to explain the footage from our last podcast, Episode 7, so I ‘m currently recording it in iMovie using voiceover. I’m recording it quickly while watching the footage , so there may be some parts where I speak a little quickly , but I hope you’ll bear with me. This is the city of Osaka. This is an aerial view of Peach Aviation from Sapporo to Kansai Airport. The houses are so densely packed together. Such large cities are rare, aren’t they? It really does make you feel like a great power. My father is from Otaru, and my father’s grandfather, or rather my ancestors, are from the Kaseno clan of Ishikawa…the Kanno family, and there are quite a few Kannos in Ishikawa Prefecture. Well, this is a bit off topic, but there’s a place called Kahoku City in Ishikawa Prefecture . There’s a restaurant there called Restaurant Caccena, I think? It’s written as Cacena, and it’s run by a man named Kaseno. It’s Italian. I’ve never heard of him before, but I thought maybe he was a distant relative, and I’d like to go there someday. That’s Kaseno. There’s a ferry called the New Japan Sea Ferry that runs from Otaru Port to Maizuru Port in Kyoto, and I think it takes 21 hours. I’ve taken the ferry that leaves Otaru at 11:30 PM and arrives at Maizuru Port the next day at 9:15 PM a few times (for work), and there’s also an express bus from Maizuru to Kyoto Station , which takes about two hours, I think. It costs around 2,600 yen to get to Kyoto Station. I was curious, so I looked it up, and it’s a 23-minute walk from Maizuru Port to JR Higashi-Maizuru Station. The ferry arrives in Maizuru at 9:15 PM , but the last train from Higashi-Maizuru Station to Kyoto leaves at 8:50 PM, so I’ll have to head to a hotel when I arrive at Maizuru Port. There are plenty of hotels, including Hotel Gateway Maizuru, which is a good deal. The first highway bus leaves at 5:20 AM to Kyoto Station, and it costs about 2,600 yen to get there. Apparently, there’s a route like that. The Maizuru Red Brick Express highway bus costs 2,600 yen. You’ll arrive at JR Central Exit Karasuma, Platforms 1 and 2. But if you were to take the ferry and bus from Otaru Station to the hotel, it would cost around 20,000 yen. Considering that, I’d go to Kansai Airport, and apparently there ‘s a limousine bus from Terminal 1 on the first floor, and it costs 5,100 yen round trip to Kyoto Station. It’s 2,800 yen one way, which is faster and cheaper. If you take the JR from Higashi-Maizuru Station to Kyoto Station, the Maizuru Limited Express takes about an hour and 40 minutes, apparently with trains every two hours. It costs 4,500 yen, so JR is a bit pricey (travel costs are expensive). If you take a local train , it takes about two and a half to three hours from Higashi-Maizuru to Kyoto. You can take the JR Maizuru Line, transfer at Ayabe, then transfer to Sonobe Station…or is it called Sonobe Station? It costs 1,980 yen to get to Kyoto. Just a little tidbit… I’ve shown you how to get from Otaru to Kyoto, but this video is amazing. I know I’m bragging, but these clouds are beautiful. A daytime train is definitely the best way to see this view. It gets pitch black at night. So, where is this? Narita? Narita? I don’t really remember. Where were they going? If you film a video like this, without any commentary , you’ll lose track of what’s going on after a few years. YouTube is great in that sense. If I don’t have YouTube on, it ‘ll just sit there on my iPhone, unwatched and unreviewed for years . Oh, this is the Zenpukuji River. In Nishi-Ogikubo. A white heron? A grey heron? We don’t have birds like this in Hokkaido. For some reason. They like warm places. This bird. I’m sure. I’ve never been to Nishi-Ogikubo, so I thought I’d check it out . A few years ago. This footage is from around 2017, but it’s all here. Just when I thought it was a cute white heron, a duck appeared. It’s so cute behind this guy. With something like that flapping its wings back and forth, I wouldn’t want to go anywhere . So cute. They said they raise them from chicks. I went to Nishi-Ogikubo the other day in 2024 (or 2025, I was wrong) and there was an antique lamp shop. I chatted with the owner and thought, “Huh? Could this guy be the duck guy? Maybe he’s the duck guy ?” It was a shop called Collections , and I was mesmerized by all the wonderful antique lamps. We talked quite a bit , but I apologize if I’m completely wrong. Ducks are so cute, aren’t they? When I was in elementary school, I dreamed of buying an incubator to hatch duck eggs . (I never actually bought one, though.) There was a picture book with a picture like that… Oh, this is also a tropical fish shop in Nishi-Ogikubo. I thought the wind chimes were nice. Now, in a completely different setting, I’m at the Sapporo Aquarium. There’s a small, old aquarium called Sunpiazza Aquarium near Shin-Sapporo Station. I used to go there often when I was little . They have an attraction where you touch an otter’s paw , and you kind of feel a little sorry for the otter. You do. I wonder if the alcohol is safe for germs, and if it’ll dry out its paws. That said, I did touch an otter’s paw, but it looked a bit sulky. It was like, “Don’t touch my hand without permission,” and I thought its sulky face was adorable. I wet my black cat Bunji’s paw and touched it, and it was almost exactly like an otter’s. Oh, this is from Hokkaido University. It’s a dog from a bento shop near Hokkaido University . I thought it was cute, so I took a picture, but it looked confused. Is this a Hokkaido dog? So cute. This is JR Tower. The Sapporo Station building . Beautiful scale clouds. I took some photos. This is Seoul. Traveling solo to Korea in September 2017, I thought, “Yes, Seoul. I’ve never been to Korea, so I’ll go.” Well, I went there on a school trip in high school. I was still in high school then. I think it’s Sinchon now? It’s written as Shinchon, but it’s a new village. I think it’s near Ewha University? I think it’s written as Pear Flower, but it’s Ewha University. I forgot. I thought this was a cat cafe. It said “Coffee Cuppa 4,000 won, ” so I thought, “Can I stay as long as I want for 400 yen?” And I did. A guy squirted some kind of gel on my hand. He said, “Put your hand in,” and when I did, it was a very fragrant, alcohol-based disinfectant gel. I wondered for a moment if it was okay to touch the cats with my hands. Oh, this is Bukchon Hanok Village, written as Bukchon Hanok Village. Traditional Korean houses. Hanok. A street food stall in a Korean town. It’s called “cheap country,” and it’s about a 10-minute walk from Ankuku Station. I’d forgotten about it, but I thought this stone turtle statue was beautiful. It’s different from Japanese houses, isn’t it? A distinctive feature is the frequent use of brick and stone…stone, isn’t it? This ramen bowl’s pattern is called “Kaminarimon.” It’s written as “Kaminarimon.” It’s based on a lightning motif and symbolizes protection from evil and bountiful harvests. It’s an ancient pattern, dating back to the 16th century BC, found on bronze vessels from the Shang Dynasty in China . It was introduced to Japan and became popular on ramen bowls during the Taisho period. I see. Because lightning brings rain to irrigate the fields, it ‘s considered a symbol of divine blessings and bountiful harvests. It also has the meaning of protection from evil, and its maze-like appearance is said to ward off evil spirits. Yes. I see. So that’s what it means. Kaminarimon. The Monbetsu crest, the Monbetsu crest on the Garinko-go. There’s a place called Monbetsu Town in eastern Hokkaido, just east of Hokkaido. Kaminarimon. I didn’t know that, but it’s quite informative. Ah, this is… We went to a market. I can’t really remember, but I think it was the Soybean Pastry Market. It said it had a large storehouse. That’s where we went. I felt a little sad seeing the bird in the cage. Well, my older sister bought a parakeet and we kept one too. I crossed the river on my way back from Incheon Airport. I took this photo because I thought it was a big river. It’s a 43-minute nonstop ride from Seoul Station for 13,000 won. Apparently it’s 1,300 yen. The Imjin River was flowing in my mind. This was an event at Incheon Airport, featuring flutes, drums, and koto. It was my first time hearing traditional Korean music, and it’s quite different from both Chinese and Japanese music. I’ll be sending you a version without my voice-over later, so please enjoy that. It would be great to see something like this at Japanese airports, too . Free for everyone to watch. I think it would be really interesting. But, the shamisen has quite a history. Cat skins are also a bit of a problem for me. They still import cat skins from China. I digressed a bit, but it really makes you think. The flute, too, has a similar playing style to the shakuhachi . Yeah. But it’s also completely different from China. I seem to remember learning that triple meter is common. In a university class. Yeah. There aren’t many triple meter songs in Japan, and they’re mostly two meter songs, but the rhythmic feel is a little different. It’s interesting between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago. It ‘s similar to enka, isn’t it? Quite different. It’s interesting compared to Japan. This is apparently a feudal lord procession. I was surprised when they suddenly appeared, so I took this photo. I wonder if they were all drama school students or something. I guess they were there for part-time work. I thought it was interesting. So, I think I traveled solo to Seoul for about five days. Please help me. It was fun. I wish I could just go for a stroll. But I think it’d be difficult if you can’t read Hangul. I was taking pictures of the beautiful sunset at Kansai Airport when a plane whizzed by and I was surprised. This is probably a nice champagne or something from lunch with my mother on her birthday. I thought it was funny, so I took this photo. This is the pond in Nakajima Park. This is a guy I didn’t know with a cat on his shoulder near Ikejiri-Ohashi Station. It was 10 years ago, around 2015, so I think he’s still in good health. I’m sure the cat was there too. It would be funny if he was still riding his bike with the cat on his shoulder, in Ikejiri-Ohashi. This is a cat I probably saw somewhere in Gotokuji. This is a casual coloring book my mother bought around 1988. The illustrations are really casual and funny. I like the deer the best. The bears are cute too, but… That’s why I took this photo. This is Colonel Colonel cosplaying as Colonel from KFC on Children’s Day, in the food court at Esta in Sapporo Station, which no longer exists . It made me laugh. I was like, “What?” It’s made of felt, isn’t it? It really feels like Japan. Oh, and this African concert, I was impressed. I went with a friend from work. It was so interesting, I urge everyone to check it out . ♪BAKULUTU AFRIKA/PERCUSSION UNITES So, after the African concert, my trip to Kushiro suddenly began. My mom and I decided to go to Kushiro . My mom mentioned the cute flowers in front of Kushiro Station, so I took this photo. This is the view of Kushiro from the hotel window. Is this an escalope at Izumiya? I think I had omurice or something. We went to see the “Mugonkan” art exhibition. I’m more of an art person than a science person , so I was deeply moved. I’d love to see an English explanation or video of Mugonkan for people overseas. This is the bus stop. We stopped by the zoo in front of Kushiro Station, thinking, “I see .” This happened when my older sister went to America when she was in second grade. She lived in Portland for a year. They had an event where they all wrote “goodbye pictures and words,” and the words the second-graders wrote were really interesting. It said “West Germany ” and had a “bonbon” clock. It was 1988. What I find symbolic is that this girl’s drawing shows a floating balloon with a fish splashing away, heading for the island of happiness, while this boy’s drawing shows an airplane, a dog, a bee, insects, and a running dog. In second grade, Japanese kids do multiplication, but the kids over there just do addition—what’s 3 plus 2?—and I thought this would put me behind academically, so I went to a Japanese school every Saturday. My sister had the opportunity to interact with Japanese people there, but I didn’t, so I was pretty lonely. I spent every day with no one who spoke Japanese. Anyway, this is an apple tree I drew in an American kindergarten. A 5-year-old child who has never seen an apple tree . It looks like an apple is stuck to a branch (not a trunk). I’m allergic to apples . I was able to eat them at the time, but around age 25, I suddenly became allergic to them and can’t eat them now. My throat gets itchy. I can’t say where, but it’s somewhere in the metropolitan area where there are a lot of stray cats. So, I’ve been quietly explaining the video, but from here on, please enjoy the version without my voiceover. Thank you for listening. I’ll be there. I’m back. Please place your carry-on baggage under the seat in front of you. Please refrain from using the restroom beyond this point. Also, after landing, it is possible to use electronic devices that emit radio waves, such as sending emails, on the plane. Please refrain from talking on your phone, and turn off your phone during crowded times. Thank you for your cooperation.
