Amazing cinematography and very deep, poignant insights. I wept when you mentioned how taking things slowly and just basking in the moment was largely lost and also your hesitation in visiting Nagasaki. <br><br><br>Seriously, I cannot describe how beautifully you paint the world not just through your lens but also through words. The small injections of memes make me giggle as much as your moments of reflection make me stop and think. I'm glad to have found your videos. I'm especially glad that you've decided to share your gifts this way.<br><br>I hope you continue to share more of your work- travel or otherwise. However long that may take you. You're a natural storyteller and I'd like to keep on listening for as long as I can. Best wishes and I hope your foot is doing much better.

Watching your journey brought back such beautiful memories and happy tears to my eyes. Will, THANK YOU for capturing your journey to Nagasaki and detailing your travels so poetically. <br><br>Our first train ride on our first ever trip to Japan was from Fukuoka to Nagasaki, and it was by far my favorite. I still remember choking up when I first saw the rolling rice hills and peaceful terrain. There is something truly magical about Kyushu, and it’s a shame most tourists don’t venture south to experience it. <br><br>Your travel journalism is remarkable. I truly hope we can continue watching your videos for years, no matter the platform. Keep it up!!! Start a patreon! You are so talented!

Oh man! new video! I will watch this one after weight lifting! You have no idea how grateful i am for this kind of material, it was by your videos that i travelled to Kyushu and fell in love with the island , and Nagasaki was such a charming place! I will watch this one with a coffee later. Cheers from Chile! :D

No other videos on youtube bring back as many memories of my own solo travels in Japan as these ones do. I haven’t even been on this train and somehow this feels like I’m reliving a great memory.

I just found your channel today and I appreciate the calm vibes of the beautiful scenery you show. I absolutely loved Nagasaki. I had 3 full days there and it still wasn't enough. It's already on the list to visit for my next solo Kyushu trip. I hope you make it back to see more of it one day.

Your travel videos are so soothing! They make me want to go back to Japan - not even to the exact places you visit, just to have a similarly paced trip. Thank you so much for making these.

best youtuber doing it right now. Thank you Will. Your art is a joy to watch and makes me fall deeper in love with a country I already admire and love so much. Can't even begin to imagine that editing flow. Wishing you well on your travels and onward! I'd love to see a video explaining how you manage to travel so much :) (a dream of mine).
