These are the translations (English, with Kanji, just Hiragana and Katakana, Romanji) used in the video.

"It was the oldest temple in the region."

その地域で一番古い 寺院 だったんだよ

そのちいきでいちはんふるいじいんだったんだよ

Sono chiiki de ichiban furui jiin dattan da yo.

"I love to visit temples and shrines when I am in Japan."

日本にいる時は、 や神社に行くのが大好きです

にほんにいるときは、てらやじんじゃにいくのがだいすきです

Nihon ni iru toki wa, tera ya jinja ni iku no ga daisuki desu.
