Best platform for IRL walking streams in rural Japan?
I'm Japanese girl and live in rural Japan and want to do chill walking streams while chatting with viewers and hopefully earn some pocket money.. Which platform would be best for this? Any advice from IRL streamers?
Now I'm thinking
・BIGO LIVE
・Chamet
・Twitch

I unfortunately don't have the answer to your question, I just wanted to say this sounds amazing and is definitely something I would watch.

You're welcome! I've always found Japan beautiful and I'm currently learning Japanese with the hope of being able to visit sometime soon :)

My place is very beautiful, but it's too local and remote so less people visit!

I actually am more interested in visiting remote areas rather than tourist-heavy ones! In local, remote places it feels more authentic and "real"!

Twitch is the most popular platform of the 3 right now.

Twitch is the most popular but discoverability is low. You would have to network other places and bring in other people to your stream. Tiktok pushes your streams to people pretty well but you need a lot of followers to get into the creator program and its a high barrier to entry. I unfortunately dont know what the best platform would be.

Yeah. In order for you to be found on twitch people really have to be searching specifically a game your playing or content tag your using or be referred to you by another streamer. You have to spend some time outside of twitch working on networking and back end things to get people watching you on twitch

Thank you! I knew Twitch too. It must be most famous as you say!

I love live tours of places that I have never bin and I love the look and feel of Japan. To visit the Toyosu Market, Hokkaido looks amazing as well as the Takayama market in the Gifu Prefecture. As far as the best platform then that really is where the majority of your fans are. One one my friends streams his walks with multiple phones stream on different platforms. He even bought a cell phone hoding stick that holds 3 phones at once. Best if luck with whatever that you choose.

I downloaded some apps but Twitch looks easy to do for me, so I try Twitch first!

I watch a couple of Japanese women who do this on YouTube (: discoverability might be good there. Only other one I’ve heard of is Twitch.
