  • R: Today we're back at Kiyosu Castle.

  • We made a video about this before and talked about how there are a lot of cherry blossom trees around here,

  • and we didn't get to see them. So today we're going to finally see the cherry blossoms.

  • So I'm super excited to be here!

  • J: Wanna say hi to the old man over there?

  • The Kiyosu Castle man.

  • R: The Kiyosu Castle man?

  • J: With the face.

  • R: OH. The castle!

  • Japanese castles look like people.

  • I don't know why.

  • J: I wanna do this.

  • R: That looks nice.

  • These trees up here are actually ume.

  • They're not sakura. They have a deeper pink color.

  • They're so pretty!

  • So pretty!

  • I want ume!

  • I'd rather have ume than sakura trees, actually.

  • They're so pretty.

  • Hi! Hi there!

  • J: Sorry, I don't-

  • Oh, I have breadcrumbs but I don't think I should feed you.

  • R: No, you probably shouldn't.

  • They're so cute.

  • JUN look how big those koi are!!

  • Omg.

  • J: Hey.

  • R: Yeah?

  • J: Over there.

  • R: OMG what is that??

  • J: Nutria.

  • (Stranger) Oh, there it is!

  • (Stranger) A river otter?!

  • (Stranger) Oh, it has legs.

  • (Stranger) It came out of the water.

  • R: Let's get something to eat.

  • I want cotton candy!

  • J: Cotton candy?

  • That's not going to fill you up.

  • R: This is so lovely!

  • Can you imagine having festivals like this in America?

  • We don't have festivals like this with cherry blossom everywhere.

  • This is gorgeous!

  • BUTTERED POTATOES

  • (Stranger) Here you go! And your change.

  • J: Thank you.

  • R: Jun bought something.

  • What did you buy?

  • J: For you, an "American dog."

  • R: (gasp) YES

  • Yes!!

  • J: American dog...

  • It's not called an American dog in English.

  • What's it called? Corn dog?

  • R: Corn dog.

  • J: Corn dog.

  • R: Because it's cornbread with a hot dog.

  • J: I see...

  • R: What is it?

  • J: Gohei mochi.

  • It's made of mochi.

  • R: Is that soy sauce?

  • J: Yep. It's sweet.

  • R: How is it?

  • J: Delicious.

  • R: Great!

  • J: The cherry blossoms are pretty...

  • Nevermind.

  • R: Omg, okay.

  • So they have no trash cans here at all.

  • J: Of course not!

  • R: Wow.

  • J: I guess it fell down.

  • But it's still blossoming!

  • R: Yeah!

  • It's perfect for pictures! Let's take a picture!

  • It's insanely amazing that they can tell people to take their trash home, and they do.

  • J: Oh?

  • R: It's really nice that Japanese people are so polite and conscientious.

  • J: Well, some people litter.

  • But yeah, taking trash home is just normal here.

  • R: I hope you enjoyed this little trip to see the cherry blossoms here at Kiyosu Castle!

  • Bye!

  • So pretty.

R: Today we're back at Kiyosu Castle.
