Corner so whether you’re a firsttime traveler to Japan or you call Japan your home come and join me in this extraordinary Adventure as we explore Japan together the adventure begins now And good morning guys from the beautiful country of Japan oh my gosh I’m so excited I’ve only been in this country for probably about 11 hours now and my mind is blown so today what we are doing
Is we are actually going on the ferry that is right behind me so we need to go for a little walk down there we just got off two metro stops from our hotel located in shim IMA so we also picked up up one of these passes which is something I definitely recommend you
Getting it is $ 36 Australian or $28 us and for one of these you get 2 days of about 40 free activities and unlimited Metro rides as well you can’t beat that so come with me today
As we explore a sucker Japan is finally open for tourists so let’s go and let’s have [Music] fun [Music] sky in the air here is so clear there’s no pollution we’re in a blue sky day and it’s
Long pants and jumper weather but it’s not that cold the sun’s out I could actually probably get away with wearing a t-shirt right now it is so lovely and I am so glad to be here in this country [Applause] [Music]
Okay so we just picked up our tickets for the ferry unfortunately it was fully booked until 1:30 so we have about 2 hours um to kill um until we can get on but we do have window seats which
Is really good so right now we’re going to go to Osaka castle and check that one out one of the popular um American Sports here it’s actually baseball believe it or not the Philippines had basketball and here they have baseball so yeah who knew but um the Japanese love their baseball
So yeah we just stumbled across this walk into the castle but uh yeah I’ll try not to get [Applause] [Music] hit so yeah as you can see this is a beautiful beautiful country it’s so quiet it’s so peaceful
The people are so respectful I’m like I’m low te like I’m low ke tearing up I’m tearing up just a little bit because it’s like so different you don’t see you don’t see this high level of respect
Anywhere in the world and it’s like I feel like the whole city has just done like a yoga session or something that’s how calm everyone is it’s so quiet it’s so nurturing the trees are lovely the sun is out people are running they’re excising people look fit and healthy and there’s a train
Like look at this [Music] train radio so we’re walking up to the ahaka castle now oh my gosh I’m so excited I know keep on saying how excited I am but I really am like I’m not just putting
This on for the Vlog guys like I am very excited to be here I’ve wanted to go to Japan for so long now and I’m finally here and this time like I’ve I have this YouTube channel so I can even share
How I’m feeling and everything I experience so yeah today’s just going to be a good day I love people something something smiley face so this lady here this cleaner is raking up the leaves to say I love
Aaka in Japanese writing and then a smiley face at the end can this city get even can this city get any more cooler [Music] what [Music] just a few fun facts for you guys a suckle was was founded
In 1498 and the castle that we’re going to now was founded in 1570 so let’s go check it [Music] out [Music] so believe it or not this behind me is a shopping center yes has shops and restaurants
In it right next to the castle Temple that we’re about to go to in this massive Park here I tell you what Japan just does everything on steroids everything is perfect Grand amazing normally this
Would cost I think $8 but um yeah we get in for free with our pass so that’s a bonus so there’s actually a wishing well here just behind me so people have chucked in coins and even notes into
The well uh to wish for things and good luck but um we’re just in front of the castle now so let’s go [Music] in so we’ve just made it to the top of the castle and you can literally see all over the
City it is so nice today like the lovely Autumn colored tree this whole park and the moat around as well man this is so nice so when you’re coming up here there’s no filming on the third and fourth
Floor um so that’s a museum um the reason for no filming is to protect the rights of the artworks and the art in the museum I’ll be leaving the Google Map links to every to everywhere we go
In the description as well um so you guys can check it out when you come to Japan but wow like you can literally see the mountains so far in the distance that’s how clear it is there’s
No pollution the air is fresh people are smiling birds are chirping what a great [Music] day so these exhibits right here are using Holograms that’s the first time I’ve ever seen holog RS before Oh my gosh there’s going to be so much technology in this city it is crazy I’m so [Music]
Excited like look at this stone wall here that would have taken so long to build with these heavy big rocks and trying trying to align each one correctly and then have a straight top like there is here the Japanese people are so good at engineering so the Innovation here is just
So high as I’ve already said you’re probably going to hear me say that a lot actually quite a fun fact is the life expectancy for Japanese people is very high at 85 years old and that’s
Due to the low obesity rate in Japan and how they eat uh they eat a lot of fish a lot of plant-based Foods and that and the high standard of living as well to 85 which is amazing and obviously we
Have a great Health Care system too so yeah you can really see that in Japan it’s super fascinating so as we’re coming back out now the L’s doing another rake of leaves on the other side saying the exact same thing oh my go so we’re just walking up to
Now some um local Street Market market so let’s go check it out and see if we can find some food well there’s so many options I do not know what to choose and I don’t know what anything says cuz it’s all in Japanese so um let’s see how we
[Music] go righto so I managed to pick up one of these noodle dishes with some type of meat and lettuce um they didn’t speak English so I just pointed and I just said one so um got some chopsticks
Too so I’m about to use my first ever vending machine here in Japan they have 100% orange juice so I’m going to get this one you just put the money in Click what you want and Bam so let’s give this a taste made from the Coca-Cola Company fun fact
Oh yeah that is good that is definitely 100% good stuff all right so now it’s time we’re going to get on the ferry go around the uh River here so let’s [Music] go wow this looks very poch windows are totally open as [Music] well okay how good’s this window
Seat I cannot wait it’s going to be so much fun you can probably hear in the background as well there’s some really nice music playing all white interior windows above us as well so you can even see the [Music] sky [Music] man this is so nice the sun is just glistening off
The water here and it’s really nice to just go around the city and see different buildings from different perspectives we just went past the castle then as well that we just went up so yeah it’s really cool there’s also fishermen on the side fishing and yeah people just enjoying
Their Sunday righto so we just jumped off the boat then that was a uh that was really really fun so right now we’re going to a observation deck we got to jump back on the Metro so uh
Yeah let’s [Music] go so check out this tree here there used to be a pole well there still is a pole holding it up um that looks exactly like this but the tree has growing into the metal you’d
Think when the tree brushed up against it it sort of just move off but it’s grown into the metal such a weird thing to say we got to go to Shin saashi by the way it is really easy to get
The metro and trains here um there’s all signs in English and if not you can ask a staff member um with the pass that we got we got free Metro rides otherwise you can use the ticket machine
To pay cash and just get a ticket as well so don’t worry your first time will probably be hard but after that you should be [Music] [Applause] [Music] fine [Music] [Applause] we just came out of the main train station and we are right in the center now of aaka so we just
Have a little bit of a walk to the observation deck but first impressions of the center it is crazy it is massive Japan Vibes obviously but like all the signage the advertisements the people um like people dressed up in business clothes you have people who like are wearing like
Anime sort of like costume stuff it’s like it’s crazy the signs the culture the smells it’s just I’m actually getting a little bit of culture shock right now check out this car here it looks like a toaster
So this is the building we’re about to go up to oh my gosh this should be fun let’s [Music] go This is why you have to come to Japan now [Applause] [Music] look okay wait until you see this my mind is [Music] blown [Music] [Applause] [Music] so they also have a gate here filled with love locks so if when Partners or people get married
They can come and lock their uh their love on on this gate viewing the entire city it’s pretty romantic isn’t it maybe one day I’ll um I’ll get to do the same so there we go our first successful
Day exploring Osaka Japan I hope you’re liking the documentary thus far next up we’re going to be exploring some other sites in Osaka so you might also be wondering Jack how are you getting data when you’re going around Japan what’s the best way to get a SIM card well that’s where
Nomad eim comes in thank you Nomad for sponsoring this video so if you’ve been watching my videos for a while you’ll know that Nomad has been a part of my travels for years now I use them in
Every country that I go so you might be thinking Jack what is an Asim well let me break it down essentially an eim is a app on your phone that creates a digital SIM card so all you have to do
Is install The Nomad app on your phone click what country you want and buy a package for me when I was in Australia before my Japan trip I went onto the Nomad app clicked Japan and chose the package
That I wanted and Bam as soon as I touched down in Japan I had data just like that so no more lining up in Long cues at the airport waiting for your physical SIM card personally I find that having
An eim is a great thing to have being able to have data when you’re seeing the immigration officer and having to show your hotel booking or even when you’re just traveling around and needing Google Maps posting Instagram photos and I can even hotspot my phone to upload YouTube videos
As well if you use my code Jack 92 CB you will get a bit of a discount on your first purchase of an Asim so if you’re interested in getting an Asim on your next trip then click my link
Below in the description box and get started by downloading The Nomad app today let’s go [Applause] I tell you what the streets of Japan are very quiet in the morning most people ride bicycles or just take the metro or get the Train the cars that you do see are the toaster looking
Cars or the mini looking cars so so yeah it’s actually quite nice because the noise pollution is also down the real time pollution is also down it’ll be crazy when Japan goes fully electric for electric cars then there’ll be like silence on the roads it be crazy look so many [Music] bikes
Righto so we’re off to our first activity today we got to get on the red line towards platform 2 towards srio I believe I’m saying that right maybe so let’s [Music] [Applause] [Music] go today’s day extremely lovely day too like look at these blue skies behind
Me we have came in the best season of autumn righto so we just got off the Metro now we got to get on the acka monreal so let’s [Music] [Applause] Go righto so we just got off the mon Rail and we’ve made it to our first stop here for today which I’ll show you guys in just a second but I just want to show you this massive car park behind
Me and they’ve only got this little section filled with cars so that goes to show how very few cars there actually are in Japan and as I was saying before proves my point there’s not many cars people just use public transport it’s so lovely but but I’m just seeing this amazing
View of this uh monreal coming in now so take a look at [Music] this so we have just reached our first activity for today this is the Osaka Ferris wheel at Expo City and this Ferris wheel is the
Biggest ferris wheel in Japan and you’re about to come on it with me so let’s [Music] go don’t you to so once again we’re using out a sucker amazing pass to get on this ride for free
Only 3,600 Yen for this which is very affordable hey so we made it in so excited this oh they’re waving the biggest Ferris will in all of Japan perhaps even in all of Asia but I don’t know that so this is 100 123 M um so yeah let’s go up and see this View we are officially now at the very top you can see all over the city literally to where the mountains are the whole city you can see Mountain the mountain range around the whole city of aaka
It is epic I have to say though the infrastructure and these roads and the monor rails and everything just flows it all just works everything’s so clean well thought out well designed so I’ll just quickly go through some of the landmarks that are around here that we’ll be able to see
So right here we actually have Tower of the sun which is um a famous land famous landmark on the outskirts here of a sucker so this is Tower of the Sun on here next to it we have um a Japanese
Garden and then over here we have Expo City Mall they also have a welcome floor mat as you come in as well I tell you what the Japanese are so extra every little detail they think about with
Everything right so we just got to the Bottom now so we’re going to go and head over to the Statue and check that out and also check the uh Gardens out around there too so uh let’s go and see
That [Music] righto so we are now at our next stop in front of the Tower of the Sun so we are actually in the place where the 1970 Expo of the commemorative memorial for all different countries around the world built different little Expos and um sort of exhibits in London a presentation
Of scale models of expo 70 the international exhibition to be held in Osaka from March to September next year under the vast canopy roof of the British Pavilion third largest there an investment in overseas promotion costing 24 million pounds like Britain Japan is a
Highly industrialized country still taking great pains to preserve its Traditions so for a bit of context there’s one every 5 years the last one was in Dubai and this one was in 1970 so we’re
Going to go around here and check them out and see what they were back then and how they were built but let me tell you I already know that it’s going to be good so we do have a massive
Map so we’re going to go around here and uh see what they have to offer so let’s [Music] go so these Expos that are every 5 years so it depends on the country if they want to put in
To um to build um their Pavilion and sort of show off their country so this one that was in 1970 Australia wasn’t actually in there well I couldn’t see it on the map anyway but New Zealand
Burma and a whole heap of other countries are in there so we’re going to be around going around and exploring those Pavilions today so uh yeah let’s check it out so we’ve just came down to the lake here and they actually have uh pedalos or like pedal boats they’re actually a little
Bit expensive out of my budget but uh yeah if you do come here and you want to Pedal along the lake you but you can do that it’s probably pretty romantic too so bring your partner if you’ve
Got one if you don’t go by yourself so yeah guys after walking around for a little bit we realized that all of the exhibits and Pavilion were very rundown considering this was all built in the 1970s this was no surprise so we decided to head towards the Japanese garden so for example this
Is one exhibit here that’s sort of overgrown there’s not really any entry in but there’s no security guards or anything around but I wonder if this door you can open it no it’s locked oh well one toaster car two toaster cars four toaster cars we have now just entered in
The uh Rose Garden which is really really lovely I actually love roses um on my parents Farm they actually have roses too but due to the recent rain they actually The Roots got rotted and died Australia’s been like pretty much flooding getting so much rain but these um these roses are
Really really cool lovely Garden you can smell it too really can smell it I wish I could like push some scent through this camera so you guys could smell it let’s walk around here and have a little [Music] look
[Music] check out all these koi car wow there’s so many look at the size of that one look at the size of that so right now we are walking into the Japanese garden and I’m so excited to show you guys this because there is two really good seasons for c for
Cinematography in Japan number one cherry blossoms unfortunately we’re not here for that but number two is when Autumn comes and as you can see here this is really Pictures one thing as well that I’ve noticed about Japan is it is so quiet so every time I Vlog I feel like I’m disturbing the peace because everyone is just so silent so calm so chill like no one says anything unless they need to it’s like it’s so
[Music] different [Music] I tell you what there’s no one else here if you want to come to Japan come this year come now before everyone flocks in now is the time to come like sure we’ve seen a few people here and there but it’s pretty special
[Music] so this old [ __ ] so this old [ __ ] ad so this old Japan so this old Japanese man just here was uh taking photos of the flower I didn’t catch it on film but he went up and he blew all of the dust out of the flower
Before he took a photo it’s so nice to see people who have retired just doing their own little thing and that’s his hobby you know it’s so cool soft serve strawberry Co okay thank you very much have a nice day see you wow look at that soft serve let’s give this a
Taste oh that is good wow that is probably yep that is the best soft serve I’ve ever had in my [Music] life so we just got out of the metro station then and we are now heading to our next activity
So stay tuned for that one I’m just loving Japan every single thing that we go to is just just leveling up my expectations it’s just awesome so uh yeah let’s [Music] go [Music] so this Tower here that’s where we’re going right now so
Let’s [Music] go man so we just got up to the top of the tower and this view is amazing oh my gosh look at this and the sun’s setting too so [Music] wow [Music] So right now I’m going to go on the slide there’s no filming loud but I’m going to try and sneak this GoPro on there so let’s see how we go right go got my mat got my helmet let’s go let’s go let’s go let’s go
[Music] how go so we just came into this local sushi restaurant we saw the board out the front for 900 years again for two people and we just said it was completely in Japanese we just
Pointed at that and we said can we have one we have no idea what we’re getting they have a very professional sushi chef here as you can see this kitchen is very traditional so I’m very excited to
Try this one um so yeah let’s see what comes out I have no idea righto so our shushi just came out so let’s give this a try I think you just pick it up like this dip and you dip it you need sauce it just melts in your
Mouth oh that’s lovely to be honest before I came to Japan I thought I knew what Sushi was but boy oh boy did Japan open up my eyes to the food scene next up we are going on the highspeed rail bullet train across the country who shizzy [Music]
Wer we are on the move and no we’re not going to Tokyo just [Music] [Applause] yet so we’re going about somewhere half way in between let me [Applause] explain we are going on one of the world’s fastest and most technologically advanced
Trains in the world here in Japan we are going on the bullet train 2 Shi worker this train is only going to take 2 and a half hours to get to so I’m going to take you along today show
You the train give you all the details on how to book your ticket and how to conquer this train when you come to Japan and I have been told that the views from this train are absolutely amazing
So I’m going to be showing you that as well this ticket was 9,000 Yen which is about $90 Australian or $70 so a little bit pricey for a 2 and 1/2 hour Journey but I can tell you it’s going to
Be worth it so come along with me and let’s go so to get these tickets you can book it online and I’ll leave the link in the description for where to get that so once you book it online you get
A QR code on your phone and then you can go to the ticket machines here behind me and scan the QR code to get your ticket so it’s very easy and one small detail I might have forgot to mention
We’re getting first class today let’s [Music] go they also have a smoking room here you don’t see that very often uh in Australia or America let me tell you but uh in Japan quite [Music] common
Okay so we just came up and we’ve got one of the bullet trains here and another one here behind me I think this one behind me is ours but it says it’s not in service at the moment but I think in
About 15 minutes It’ll come in service but man oh man if this is it this thing is long all the way down there all the way down there it’s going to be fun so I’ve just sat down to eat my breakfast
And that’s one thing here about Japan all the public seating is so comfortable I sat down I’m like o this is comfy not normally used to that in most countries I go to all righty let’s give
This a taste this meal was only from um one of the little 7-Eleven stores only $5 really really cheap really good really good another thing here is that the conductors are really serious if I step over this yellow line just here they come up to you they’re like don’t even though
There’s a gate so it’s all about safety but uh it’s quite funny oh we’ve got one leaving right now man oh man and that’s it that’s just it starting off speed can you imagine when they get to full speed you know I thought there was just one or two of these
Fast trains but I’ve seen like eight in the past 10 minutes the amount of money that has went into this network is crazy so this is our train arriving just now I’m so excited so this here is the massive Gates we got to walk through to get
On the train so different to so many other systems oh my gosh look at these seats first class baby let’s go good evening uh no sir you’re infection first class good evening so if you are coming on here with a big bag you’ll be completely fine a lot of
Room this is a first class seat wow oh my gosh I’m going to love this trip including either end of the you [Music] no back we go nice so this isn’t just a big seat we have this amazing footrest here that has two different positions we have different magazines in all
Of the netting and compartments so if you don’t like one magazine you can try another one and just here we also have a light and a seat warmer in case your bum gets too cold Japan just thinks of everything Wow first class definitely worth it so we
Actually got a discount booking first class early on so that’s something to know um the link in the description will tell you so if you book um 2 weeks early you can be eligible for a
Discount In First Class which I think is only an extra $10 or $15 so it’s definitely worth it but um yeah I probably should be a bit more quiet now because I think we’re going to go [Music] soon
[Music] these things go so fast as you can see 300 km per hour like the engineering to pull this off is crazy man just to put in perspective some of the trains I’ve been on in Thailand go up
To a max speed I believe of only 80 km an hour or 70 km hour so 300 km per hour is just insane wow his first class experience just gets better and better we even have our own blankets as
Well so awesome another thing as well these windows are so clean and clear makes my job easy to film out of them because man oh man some windows that I try filming out of it’s
Just no chance that that’s ending up in the Vlog but these ones very very nice so another thing I love about this train is the free Wi-Fi whenever you get strong fast free Wi-Fi can’t complain I’m going to dig into some work now and do some editing so uh let’s go [Music] Is actually crazy how very few people there are on this train a lot of the seats are actually empty there’s actually a faster train that goes an extra 20 km per hour that’s a lot more popular but this one there’s only about eight people in the cart so really really
Awesome I tell you what these automatic doors are so cool you know especially when you’re exploring a train you can just keep walking other than opening the door going to the next Carriage it’s pretty special we’re going top speed now I’m really trying not to fall over jeez that would be [Music]
Embarrassing for those of you who like toilet reviews not bad it’s actually crazy even though we’re going 300 km an hour when you’re sitting down you don’t feel the speed at all but obviously when I was walking then I was a little bit sway but that’s probably just
Because of the way the carriage is going left and right but man this is crazy to think that you can travel at 300 km an hour that’s not on a plane this is the future right here so
We’ve stopped here on the platform for like 5 minutes so I thought I’d film the train check this out hopefully the train doesn’t leave without me but uh that’s pretty cool I’ll hop back on I won’t risk my uh my luck the conductors looking at me as well [Music] [Music] so Oh [Music] righto so we are 14 minutes away from um getting off at our stop near Mount Fuji so um yeah this has been a really quick ride uh 2 and 1/2 hours has went like that crazy
So much to film I really hope that um you’ve enjoyed this video so far I tried to capture the best I could and show you guys what you’ll experience when you come on these trains because it definitely is a must it’s the cheapest way to get around Japan rather than flying
Um domestically and plus it’s a really fun experience like who doesn’t want to be on a train that goes 300 K an hour all righty so we have arrived awesome that was so [Music] quick [Music] once arriving at shizzy wer and getting checked into our hotel the next day we went to
Do something extremely cool and that’s unique to Japan pet cafes first appeared in Japan in the 1990s and quickly became a popular Trend these cafes allowed people to interact and play with a variety of animals such as cats and rabbits while enjoying a cup of tea or coffee the idea
Behind pet cafes was to provide a relaxing and enjoyable environment where people could dstress and connect with the animals as this was something that was not always possible in the urban environment of Japan in apartments over time the concept of pet cafes expanded to
Include a wider range of animals such as dogs owls and even reptiles so we’re going to jump into it today and see what it is really about so get good morning guys today’s video is going to
Be quite a different one but really exciting today we’re going to two different cafes in this video our first Cafe will be a cat cafe you might be thinking a cat cafe what’s that well we’re about
To find out and our second Cafe is going to be a Dog Cafe cat vers Dog Cafe personally I am a little bit more of a dog lover please don’t kill me in the comments Matt behind the camera doesn’t
Look too happy when I say that I actually have a cat and a dog at home that I haven’t seen for a whole year so yeah let’s go up here to the top of this building where the Cat Cafe is and see
What it’s all about see what it is in Japan that makes these cat cafes so special and um yeah let’s go so we’ve just came to the front door and already look at this your hearts are going to melt in this video I promise you oh my gosh [Music] oh
[Music] wow there are so many little cats here it is crazy I thought there’d be like maybe four or five cats but there’s about maybe 15 as you can see this area is so lovely all the cats seem really happy well fed well look after and I believe that they
Have vet checkups um once a month as well where a vet comes in they check all the cats but this is really nice so you can order a coffee can order a milkshake or or anything you wish um
They have a lot of different drinks this one’s trying to attack me um to hello to order our coffee because everything was in Japanese um so we and I ended up getting a chocolate milkshake oh my gosh I’m getting attacked right now so yeah as you can see they they also have like
A place where you can sit down you can um read and Pat the kittens and and play with them and they’re all sleeping here they have little sleeping spots dark sleeping spots as well this one behind here is actually trying to eat um Matt’s wallet ow they’re just attacking me
I’m trying to be nice with them and play with them but they’re just they’re just attacking me um this one’s actually quite friendly but the other kittens are being very violent trying to trying to Vlog here here is a struggle when they’re all trying to attack you so this place
My first impressions mind blown this is really fun so it was 500 yen for half an hour so that’s about $5 or $5 Australian or about $350 US so they even have a dehumidifier over there to clean out the air and yeah all the kittens seem really looked after all the cats seem
Really looked after um their Furs lovely yeah it’s really clean in here I I say it probably gets vacuumed at least twice a day because of all the hair they also have a fish tank here as well
Which I say keeps the cats very entertained you can also wash your hands here before and after you leave so it’s really hygienic before you Pat the cats after so yeah they’re really really looked after really well so it’s good to see and this is the uh little hole where they
Can do their business in privacy they really think of everything here it’s it’s quite funny actually so this place is really really lovely um this is the name in Japanese too I’ll leave a link
In the description as well the kittens are just full of energy and um ready to play but you have slow cats like these ones who are sleeping and they’re they’re [Music] lovely [Music] okay so
We just got our drinks and the star owner gave me this I have no idea what it says so anyone who lives in Japan can you please let me know it’s probably too late by the time you let me know but
Let me know I’m ow I’m in ow this one here is a troublemaker you are all it wants to do is hurt me let’s try this yet chocolate milkshake let’s give this a go I just realized there’s a cat in this
Table oh my gosh okay there’s literally cats everywhere okay M beautiful refreshing couldn’t ask for more it’s actually quite hot today today in Japan hence why I’m wearing a short sleeve shirt I’ve been wearing a lot of winter clothes lately this place is nice
It’s sort of like therapy in a way you know if you’re stressed there’s no one else here it’s just me and Matt behind the camera and um yeah it’s lovely it’s really nice for500 Yen $5 you
Get to spend half an hour with cats um another 500 yen for a drink $10 in Japan can’t complain it’s pretty nice isn’t it so I’m really interested now to see what the Dog Cafe is like or the Sheba
Enu Cafe that’s that little meme dog that was turned into a cryptocurrency a sheu or an enu I’m not sure um so yeah let’s magically teleport to Tokyo now see what that Cafe is about and just
Like that we’re in Tokyo so I’m going to sort of throw in a little bit of a surprise here I did say that you will see me at the Sheba enu uh Dog Cafe but I couldn’t resist to take you guys to a
Piglet Cafe right so we about to go up here and see little miniature pigs so come along with me let’s see what it’s all about let’s see what they have to offer and um yeah when do you ever get
To hold a cute little piglet so come along with me be right beside me and let’s experience this Together [Music] buddy oh my gosh we just walked in and there’s a pig in the entrance a pig SP you pig pigs are even potty trained this one just did a we in the um in the corner here on the tray oh my
Gosh look at this it has a little bell whatever that means be ringing the people oh so the pigs don’t really like me they really like Matt but not me I think they know Matt’s actually vegetarian
And I’m not and I think they may know that so uh yeah they’re giving Matt all the attention here I know he eats bacon and he loves pork chops as well I don’t I know I all righty
The tables have bur now I now have a pe oh oh he’s trying to bite me why do you always want to attack me so it’s 1,300 yen to get in here and this um this drink was 600 Yen
So all together we’re looking about 2,000 Yen for the experience which is about 20 Australian this one’s trying to bite me or um hey you can’t eat that for $15 US so we’ve got some pink milk match the theme pink piglets pink milk so let’s give this a
Taste oo that’s lovely very strong strawberry M wow that’s a oh that’s very syrupy but very nice and you have these blankets as well that you can put on your clothes to sort of protect your clothes from the pigs trying to eat you because they do try
And eat your clothes um but yeah it’s really really nice there’s about five different little private rooms we in a private room and you get two piglets per room so it’s really lovely and something you should definitely do when you come here in
Japan it’s so weird their snouts are super soft and they feel weird like nothing like you’ve ever felt before they feel really strange so if you come here just when they’re sleeping just feel their SN because it’s really really [Music]
Weird so right now both pigs are actually sleeping in Matt’s arms take a look at this isn’t that the cutest thing you’ve ever seen okay so our half an hour is almost up here this has been a great experience and something I won’t
Forget to cuddle little baby piglets when do you ever get to do that so I’m excited you guys can be right right beside me today experiencing this as well cuz it’s pretty awesome oh hello so this pen here actually has like newborn baby pigs oh my gosh [Music] [Music] guys welcome to the Shabu enu Dog Cafe aren’t these guys cute so if you’re familiar with cryptocurrency with the she buo coin these are the these are the same little dogs so this is actually hilarious so all of the dogs were on this side of the room
And as soon as Matt and I walked in they all came to sit with us and we think it’s because of the pigs this morning that can smell the pigs on us and they’re all all over us just because of that so yeah this is really cool we get to experience [Music] them There is a lot of people here I don’t really know how I feel about the bandana around their neck I don’t really think that they like it too [Music] much so there we go we just finished the Shibu Dog Cafe to be honest it probably wasn’t my
Favorite one the dogs looked a little bit sad a little bit worn out there was some dogs that would just sort of run away when they weren’t when they didn’t want to Pat so yeah it was
A little bit you know I sort of feel bad for even supporting it but overall it was about a 6 out of 10 experience after spending time with the cute animals we decided it was time to do
Some real sightseeing and try to see the famous Mount Fuji so that’s exactly what we did [Music] Oh Baby Don’t Cry good and good morning guys we are currently in shiok Japan and we have a very exciting video today we are getting on the bullet train and then two separate trains to a
Mountain that looks over Mount Fuji and we’re also getting a cable card all the way up there so come along with me today today should be a really fun adventure I’m going to show you all all the different trains we get leave all the Google Map links in the description so come
Along with me be right beside me and let’s have a great adventure here in Japan let’s [Music] go so that’s one thing I actually love about here in Japan everything is so safe you you’d
Be fine to leave a lot of your valuables out like for example that boot was just open with all of those packages in there the crime right here is actually so low that people don’t usually worry about anything so it’s really nice and comforting to be in a city where you don’t
Really have to have that on the Forefront of your mind always be smart and realize what place you’re in and you know be aware of your surroundings but also when you’re in a country like Japan
Doesn’t have to be in the front of your mind so it’s really nice traveling in a country like that [Music] radio so I’ll just explain to you what happened there so we’ve got our ticket well we’ve got two tickets actually from shiok to oara um I’m probably saying that
Wrong but bear with me so the two tickets one means that we’re paying for the train there the second ticket means that we’re paying for the bullet train so combined we put both of these tickets together in the ticket machine and it sucked it through and grabbed it up so when we
Get off we’ll put both tickets back into the ticket machine and we’ll do the same thing so yeah that’s sort of how it works here with the bullet trains and as you see there’s one right so for anyone who likes bullet trains you’re pretty much in bullet train heaven
Right now yeah so that’s how the tickets work so for those of you who don’t know the bullet train is actually powered by distributed traction which means on and off each wheel is powered to make him go so for example this one here the wheel would be powered the next slot would be
Non-powered so that’s called distributed traction for anyone who didn’t know that radio so we’re on the train today our second class not first class you can’t always ride first class guys so for those for those of you who ripped me in the comments last video
For riding first class I’m now in second class okay so we’ll be on this train for 45 minutes and then we’ll reach the bottom of the hill where sorry the bottom of the mountain that we’re going to view from there we need to get two more trains so yeah let’s [Music]
Go Oh Baby don’t cry don’t cry CU stay’s always tomorrow yeah okay so we now are off the bullet train and now we got two local trains to get on to then get to the cable cart to then see Mount Fuji if you’ve noticed I’ve actually got my
Jumper back on it’s quite funny in Japan when you go indoors it’s really hot and warm because they have the heaters on really high so then you take all your clothes off then when you go back outside it’s really cold so you put all your clothes back
On that’s why I love Asian so much because it’s a constant you can just wear a T-shirt and you’ll be right but who’s complaining we’re still in Japan and this is [Music] fantastic so I just got this from some school children like little kindergarten 6-year-olds
Have no idea what it says or what it means but um thanks for the gift okay so we just got our 2-day pass even though we’re doing this for 1 day so this was um 3,600 Yen which includes the
Two trains there and back and also the cable cart there and back so not that bad uh$ 36 Australian or about $28 us so pretty good value if you ask me but uh train comes in just under 2 minutes
And I think it’s actually this one here so let’s get [Music] on I just want to tell you that no no so this train that we’re on now is more of like a communa train but the next train we get on is
A really scenic train so I don’t think I’ll film much of this one but the next train is way more Scenic so uh yeah I’m really excited for that to be able to show you guys all amazing shots
Of the mountain all my better take care that man is how good’s this our second train the scenic train with all of these windows we are right at the very front oh my [Music] gosh so this train is actually amazing it’s actually a standard gauge track so normally
Most mountain climbing trains would be Narrow Gauge and also in most mountain climbing trains actually have cogs that help the train up this train does doesn’t have that so it’s very well built to be able to come up this steep gradient as you can see here
In this footage I don’t know how well it shows the gradient of how steep it is but trust me it’s steep so these Japanese trains are something else let me tell [Music] you they just said on the speaker then these tunnels that we’re going through
Is 2 km long in length and they were built over originally 100 years ago and still to this day have withstand many natural disasters as well insane the amount of engineering and build quality even 100 years ago back then is still lasting to this day
Obviously with restoration and repairs over time but still so cool so a little bit more train terminology for those of you who didn’t know this clip here I’ll zoom in but there’s actually a guide rail next to the main rail what that does is on tight turns it guides
The wheel I guess you could say of the train so it doesn’t slip off and derail the train so on really tight turns it’s really actually needed otherwise you know on a steep incline like this the train could derail um at points in time so yeah having a Glide rail is really important
Okay so we just arrived off the train and we’re at hack 1 right now the cable cart doesn’t leave for another 25 minutes so we’re going to explore this little town around here possibly get some food and then um get back on the cable car righto so I just ordered a
Hot dog very Japanese I know but it was the only sort of quick fast food place um that I could get it in time for another 25 minutes to get on the cable car C so uh yeah should
Be good hey got my hot dog and got on the tram just in time oh [Music] [Applause] man so we’ve just came out to this Viewpoint and I don’t know if you can see but there’s a little man um carved out here into the mountain which is really really cool Japanese people are
So creative they also have this humongous table here so you can look out at the view it’s so extra everything they do is extra here it’s crazy but it’d be really nice get some food and just sit there admire the view so cool really excited for this finally
A proper cable cart so we are now on the cable cart this is really cool you can see all over in the mountains and the Autumn um the Autumn Leaves as well it’s really nice up here it always scares me when we go over those middle HS like the
The cart rocks and it’s always like o but uh no this is really cool good I think is It you can also see all the vegetation around here is pretty much dead so I don’t know if that’s a good sign to breathe in what we just breathed in but uh yeah anyway radio it’s about
To be very windy out here so bear with me but uh wow this is cool so now we’re on the um on the platform where we just saw all that I believe sua coming out of the ground oh my
Gosh righty guys so I’ve just put on my bigger jacket and um we’re about to go out here where you saw the S before bear with me with the audio because it’s about to be very very windy um so yeah let’s go and have a look oh it is cold out here W
Yeah there you go there’s the wind oh it is cold freezing okay I’ll show you guys this with um some music so you don’t have to hear the wind noise [Music] oh so that footage is not sped up that is how fast the clouds are moving because of this wind it is [Applause]
Crazy so right here behind me you can see Mount Fuji but it’s covered in clouds so um I’ll wait for the clouds to clear and then film it and show you guys but wow this is so cool just
Being right in front of it radio so I just looked at the weather and it looks like it’s going to be cloudy over there for a little bit longer so I’ll put up some um some stock footage for you [Music]
Guys so we just came into this like little restaurant out of the wind out of the cold it’s so nice in here even took my big jacket off so but I just ordered a rice with cutlet and Curry and some some vegetables and stuff so let’s give this a Try that is so lovely really nice and tendo that Curry is super thick the chicken is really really nice and tender so even though restaurant food in Japan is relatively cheap and affordable what’s even cheaper and sometimes even more delicious is 7-Eleven or family Mar food and you might
Be wondering isn’t 7-Eleven a gas station like in America or no let me take you on a journey to Japan 7-Eleven this morning we’ll get a 7-Eleven breakfast lunchtime we’ll get a Family Mart lunch and dinner time well we’re going to get a little mix of both with some random
Goodies in there as well come along with with me today let’s get this day started to 7-Eleven we go so the good news is when you’re trying to find a family mod or 7-eleven here in Japan
They’re only a few meters away if you look here with me there’s a 7-Eleven just here so let’s go 10 seconds later righto well that was a fail I got kicked out of that 7-Eleven for filming um I wasn’t getting in customers way but maybe they just didn’t want me to
Film any outdated sandwiches or something I don’t know anyway that’s right we’ll go to a different 7-Eleven and I’ll try and be a little bit more discreet and um yeah not a very far walk to the next [Music] one okay here we go now 7-Eleven few minutes away from the other one
Okay thank [Music] you okay the manager in this store a lot more friendly she let me film and she asked if I wanted a bag I normally say no because you know helping the environment but I saw of wish
I got one cuz holding this camera and this stuff is uh a little bit tricky but that’s okay so let’s find somewhere to sit I’ll try this food and talk a little bit about um the
Store and how it all tastes and how much it costs as well R so I got three things I got a Japanese Craftsman hot ice coffee these are actually hot on the Shelf heated which is weird
So and right next to it they have the cold ones which is even more crazy I also got a chicken broccoli honey and mustard sand sandwich and I also got a mango blend smoothie and this one looks really really healthy so I’m ke to try this so this was my whole breakfast
So all of this together cost 670 Yen so first things first let’s try the coffee cuz coffee is always the first thing you got to have to wake up in the morning let’s give this
A [Music] taste oh yeah that is good M we’ve got two more things to try so let’s find a another cool spot and I’m going and try that okay so next up we have the mango blend smoothie so
Let’s give this a try I’m really excited about this one anything smoothie related oh I love it oh it’s not really smoothie it’s more a juice am I meant to shake it nope it’s still a juice it’s lovely though but when it says smoothie on it does it say smoothie
Oh it doesn’t so there was smoothies next to it I chose mango blend which must mean juice anyway so yeah this juice um is quite nice it’s really really fresh I would tell you the ingredients but
It’s all in Japanese so Japanese followers you can definitely read this okay so the sandwich the main Glory here so let’s give this a shot sort of like an ASMR tutorial video isn’t it and then there we
Go we have the sandwich honey mustard broccol and egg yum M oh wow that’s fresh one thing that I have noticed though in Japan is they cut the crust off the bread for me that’s actually my favorite
Part but a lot of Japanese people mustn’t like the crust on their bread so they cut it off so we are now waiting for our bullet train but while we’re waiting I thought I would pick up a snack
From the vending machine here so I’m going to get a 100% % orange juice um this one’s only 170 Yen so $170 Australian I’ll put the other conversions here so just a quick snack from the vending
Machine okay and it’s that easy so we’ve got our drink let’s give this one a try oh yeah that definitely tastes like 100% so good let’s get on this bullet train okay so we are now on
The bullet train I’m going to get some work done here on my laptop and yeah about 40 minutes and then we get on another train after that to Tokyo but in between the two train stops we’ll go to a
Family Mart to eat lunch so I’m looking forward to that already a little bit hungry to be honest every time I get on one of these trains it just blows my mind how fast they go 300 km hour and they’re currently building a magift train which is propelled by by magnets which
Is actually lifted off the tracks and that goes 600 km hour twice the speed to put it into perspective an average international flight goes 900 km/ hour so this is crazy [Music] stuff take a train ride just to see you right for hours just to please radio so I just jumped
Off the train and um yeah now we got to go and find some family Mar food for lunch and then we’re on a different train for our last train to Tokyo so uh yeah this should be fun
Today’s already amazing day blue skies goodbye lovely people so yeah let’s go okay so I just had a little look around and there’s no Family Mart inside the station but there’s just one I saw on Google Maps just outside the station so let’s go there and pick up some [Music] lunch So I’ve got my lunch here I’ve came back into the train station I tried to find a place outside the train station to film but it was just so busy and all the public seating was taken up so we’re back
In the train station but what I’ve got for you guys is some grilled pork and this looks really good it was originally 600 Yen including tax but without without tax hello how are you fine thank
You are you good yes that’s good sure are you from here no from K oh nice nice I love Japan it’s very good this is yeah very good it smells good oh yes it smells very good 50 54 Toyo oh
Very good okay nice soon having soon oh very good okay where are you from uh Australia yes yes my daughter okay was holiday working holiday working holiday in Australia in p p yeah she is diver oh
Nice yeah very good yeah she has secondary price to H Dive Dive yeah okay very good thank you yeah no worries I like Australia but Australia very Australia data is not so good now yes yes very
Good okay thank you bye-bye the locals here are so lovely that was unexpected right so let’s try this so we’ve got some grilled pork some rice and I’ll also get actually a little bit of onion as well
If I knew how to use chopsticks this would be a lot easier M the meat is cut super fine so it’s nice and tender even though for a microwave meal this is really good this was actually originally
600 Yen but I got 100 yen off to make it 500 yen just for this dish of all of this rice so the next thing I’m going to try for you guys is this mystery yogurt of some sort I don’t really
Know it has a bunch of Japanese um and Chinese writing on it so yeah let’s just give this a shot I have no idea if it’s going to taste good it smells [Music] nice sort of like in between
Greek yogurt and normal yogurt very creamy um the vanilla taste is quite strong and this was 150 with 10 Yen off which makes it $140 so $140 I’ll put the other conversions here for a $6.40 lunch
Here in Tokyo not bad we’re going to dig into this and then let’s hop on the train to [Music] Tokyo righto so we are now on the train and heading towards Tokyo we’ve got this massive window
Here that looks out so we are right at the back of the train so we’ll be able to see all this like panoramic view of the city so epic so uh yeah see you guys through
The power of editing we’re going to be on this train for I think 2 hours or 2 and 1/2 hours I’m not too sure and then we’ll end off in Tokyo I’ll see you guys soon Radio so we just got to my hotel room even though this is a food video I thought I would share this with you because we are paying a pretty good price here in Tokyo for what we’re getting so let’s come
In and have a look so as you’re walking you have a lovely sink with nice mirror automatic magic or buttons and stuff we also have a um Japanese toilet which has you know your squirty things and seat warmers and everything like that and then if you follow me through here we’ve got um
Double bed really sturdy um we have to make a own bed but we get a towel and we also have a desk for a little work area compliment slippers as well which is nice and we also have a fridge
As well where we we can keep snack and maybe even a beer or two and out here we also have which we had no idea about a balcony how good’s this so we have our own little balcony can sit
Out here have a beer or two and just enjoy this quiet little Street here in Tokyo we actually got this room for $20 each so that is a really good price if you’re coming to Tokyo with a friend you could easily share this get all the amenities if you’re wondering where the shower
Is it’s actually directly across from our room it’s a shared shower but they are really clean and have different soaps and shampoos and all of that and there’s actually three showers to choose from and I also wanted to just show you guys the um common room work area so we have a
Massive TV here kitchen desk we have a work area kitchen sink and we also have a microwave with a rice cooker and Little Toaster as well and then out here we have a lovely um work area too that
Looks out onto the streets of Tokyo and then we also have our very own vending machine in the building which is so epic so we can get different coffees and water and fizzy drinks and everything
Like [Music] that righty guys so we are back with the third and final meal which is dinner so I’ve went to 7-Eleven and family to pick up two different things so we’ve got a um some type of
Meat stick in here so let’s just give this a try first this is more like a snack but I was really hungry I don’t know how I could be hungry I’ve eaten so much today but let’s give this a go so
This one here is from Family Mart pretty good the meat’s probably like a 7 out of 10 but that sauce is really nice probably a 9 out of 10 really tend off for being in the heating Bay all day pretty
Good not bad 100 yen so a dollar for that one but next we actually have our main meal here which is a rice grain shrimp tomato spinach Dish as you can see here it is filled with vegetables and
Really really good but because we’re in our hotel we have plates here and we’re in the common room here so I’m just going to do a little flip and eat this one in style if it’ll come out oh there
We go and that was almost favor so when you get these meals it’s really important to mix it all up M oh M yeah yeah that white sauce is really delicious the prawns are super duper fresh M oh
I’m going to enjoy this tonight really nice what is the better place to go 7-Eleven or family M well they both have their pros and cons I would say that you will find more 711s in Japan but
I feel like family MTS are cheaper in price I think that there’s more variety in 7-Eleven but in family M you can do more things I believe that you can pay more bills you can photocopy you can
Print there’s more access to ATMs so if I were to choose I’d probably choose family M because it’s the cheaper one even though there’s not as many stores like 7-Eleven family Mt is still a great
Option I hope you got an insight into being able to afford food here in Japan if you’re a budget traveler if you’re coming here or even just to get a quick snack you’re not a budget traveler
The food is [Music] greato guys so we are here in our first landmark and sort of activity here we are in sen SOI Temple and it is certainly not quiet here there is a lot of other tourists here
This Temple is actually built in 645 which makes it over 1,500 years old obviously it’s had some Restorations since then for it to stand to its Glory today but this is actually a Buddhist temple
Here in Tokyo Japan so come along with me let’s go check it out and see what it’s all [Music] about So as you can see as busy as this place place is it’s actually really nice and calm I just feel really calm like normally when I’m making these videos I’m like thinking ahead and how to
Make the best video but when you’re here you just get this whole sense of peace and I don’t know if it’s because people are coming here to pray and there’s smoke and people are doing their wishes and their money donations and praying to Buddha I’m not too sure but when you come
Here I do hope you feel the same peace I’m feeling now because it is just lovely here and as you can see this Garden here behind me adds to that it is very lovely [Music] [Music] here so that’s another thing as well you’ll see people come in traditional Japanese
Clothes to take photos to pray and do it very traditionally it’s actually really nice you don’t normally see women in Japan wearing their traditional dress but you see a lot of them here um at the temples doing that so yeah it’s really cool to
See this house just here is a perfect example of why everything in Japan is so picturesque everything is so photogenic and This Old House like look at it it’s like so traditional and so old just next to the temple too
Like it ju Japan just blows my mind with the amount of things you can see [Music] here [Music] one thing that I’ve notice like walking around Japan is the roads are so like quiet like I’m just walking in the middle of the road right now because people just don’t use cars most
Of the public transport is so accessible here especially in Tokyo that people just don’t bother driving they either ride their bikes or just take the metro or the bus and that’s the best way so really walking around it’s quite a brave there’s no honking there’s
No worrying about someone running into you because you know you’ll be sweet another thing in terms of infrastructure here is it is very um wheelchair friendly all the places are easy to get to wheelchair like if you’re in a wheelchair all the stores everything’s got
Ramps all the roads like come up nicely when you’re walking across it’s like literally if you had a disability and you were in a wheelchair Japan is a place that you would want to live for
Sure because it is so easy and then also another thing I’ve noticed is for blind people they have Braille on literally everything on lifts on um the um stop stop signs on the um cans that you
Buy at 711 on the food on so many things you just see Braille everywhere so it’s really good for blind people cuz they run their hands over it and they can read [Music] it [Music] so actually stumbled across these hands here like carved in the pavement I’ve have no idea
What it means so if you’re Japanese can you let me know in the comments cuz this seems like a really cool I don’t know like feature or whatever it is but yeah that’s interesting [Music] Oh Baby Don’t [Music]
Cry R so we in now in front of the Tokyo Sky Tree broadcasting Tower fun fact this is actually the largest broadcasting tower in the whole world and we’re about to go up it and get 360° views
Of the city so come along with me let’s see how much it costs and check it [Music] out so it’s pretty funny whenever I’m filming like big towers or something like that you don’t really need to use Google Maps once you’re in the city center you just walk towards it
Because it stands out like nothing else so yeah let’s [Music] go somebody said let go let go let go I think it might be [Music] over looks like Santa and his elves meaning workers are setting up a uh a display for Christmas so how Cool’s that so we just bought the tickets
Then online to the Tower and it was 2100 Yen or $21 Australian do or about $14 us so to be able to go all the way up to the top it’s not a bad price if you ask [Music]
Me okay so we have just came up here to the Sky Deck felt like we’re only in the lift for like 10 seconds boom we are up here straight away 350 M as you can see behind me we can see the
View of all of Tokyo so let’s check this [Music] out so because the observation deck here is so big the people all around here is actually really spread out so even though there’s a lot of people up here and the line here was actually really long it doesn’t really feel
Too crowded even though there is a lot of people up here it’s still not that [Music] bad so we’ve actually came up here at the best time not only did we catch the sun setting but
Also all of the lights over Tokyo so it’s a winwin getting The Best of Both Worlds so I’m so glad I can take you guys up here with me and just seeing this amazing view of Tokyo it’s honestly blown my
Mind how big this city is it’s so clean it’s so welld designed the architecture is amazing so well thought out and so so [Music] cool so to utilize space as well I’ve noticed this a
Lot when in Japan is they have sport fields on the roof and just here if you can see below us that is a soccer game going on right now or maybe yeah no it is a soccer game a foots game going on
Right now on the top of a roof of a building that looks to be possibly a shopping mall so they’re just utilizing space so so clever so Innovative so outside the souvenir shop you can actually buy a postcard and they will send it for you so right here behind me is actually
A post box which is really cool so how’s that you can post something from all the way up this High to your family and they have a different range of postcards as well so yeah I found that really
Fascinating and a nice service righto so we’ve now made it to the final floor of the observation deck now we’re just in the queue to get back down so we’re just walking to the metro to go and find some dinner and we’ve just walked through this lovely little mall that’s all Christmas themed
It’s really [Music] nice [Music] okay so we just came into this local Japanese restaurant um near our hotel and I have just ordered um it’s sort of like a mystery suit but when we translated it it said Cantonese um soup so I was really feeling like something with vegetables and noodles so
I’ve ordered this but one thing I wanted to show you guys is whenever you go into a restaurant in Japan they give you one of these warm tows and you can like clean your hands and like your face well
I think you can clean your face I don’t know and then yeah so it’s really nice it’s such a nice treat and wherever you go you normally get a free water as well which is nice so yeah
We’ve just ordered this and they also gave us a translated English menu which is really lovely of them so the translated English menu matched up with numbers in here so it’s sort of easy for us
To translate it so yeah let’s um see what we get righto so my Cantonese noodle bowl just came out and it is huge look at the size of that bowl it is as big as my head for 700 Yen it is so worth
It that’s only $7 Australian or about $450 us so let’s give this a try I’m going to try the broth first Yep this is going to be good so let’s get some noodles some beef and some vegetables I might even get my Chopstick Chopsticks actually so
Okay it tastes so home cook so wholesome so hearty I even have a little bit of a tickle in my throat so this is going to fix me right up so yeah I’m going to dig into this after finishing the bowl of noodles that was as big as my head we decided to
Explore something quite unique to Japan the anime scene for those of you who don’t know anime stems from Japan and it is huge here so let’s dive in anime in Japan let’s talk about okay so get and good morning guys today we are in Aki harra the anime Center of Tokyo I don’t
Know too much about anime but I’m hoping to learn a lot today and share with you guys all the best spots to come to when you come here in Tokyo to get your full anime fixed going to be
Going to some cosplay stores some comic stores some toy stores and all different anime things so come along with me and let’s check out the anime culture here in Tokyo Japan right so our first stop today we at Yodi Bashi akba this is one of the main technology malls here in
Tokyo Japan it is filled with different things like hard drivve smartphones cameras anything you can think of to do with technology they have here I also believe that they have some anime stuff in here as well mixed throughout so yeah let’s go in and check it [Music] out
[Music] righto we just came into the first level First Impressions this place is massive everything you need like we’ve already seen phone cases computers games hard drives cameras my mind is just overloaded right now so yeah let’s have a
Look this place gets so busy they have 1 2 three four lifts to take everyone out through the levels crazy so funnily enough um myself and Matt behind the camera also need a hard drive today so we’re hoping we can pick one up for a good
Price this place is huge it just keeps going and going and going and going every single bit of Technology you can find here it’s literally like clicking on the Amazon technology tab on the internet but in real [Music] life
[Music] so did you know if you’re a foreigner here in Japan traveling you don’t actually have to pay tax on Goods that you buy in Japan and no you don’t collect the tax money at the airport
Like most countries they take the tax off here on the computer system so it’s straight away so if you want to buy something you might actually be cheaper to buy it in Japan rather than your
Home country so for example for this SSD here you get 5,300 Yen off so yeah it might actually work out cheaper to buy it in Japan they even have electric shavers H maybe I could use one of these they really do have a selection here every single brand pretty much has every model
Of their product in the store like that’s how big it is like hair dryers I’m just looking probably see 50 different hair dryers Shavers this shaving goes on to the next 20 M like it’s crazy for example this whole section here is just dedicated to paper shredders like what
It’s so Overkill it’s crazy so just make sure when you come here you bring your passport so you can get the tax off that’s one thing that you’ll need it would honestly take me probably days to explore every single aisle in this whole building so yeah I’m sure that that you guys get
The idea it is Big here so let’s go around and find some other anime stores and places and just see what this section of Tokyo is all about so once you work up an appetite from shopping
Till you drop you can come up to the very top floor and get some authentic Japanese food so yeah this place is really really cool they have all different things to choose from so yeah you’ll uh get fulfilled with your hungry needs up here that is for sure it is crazy Oops so as you can see here behind me they have all Pokémon figurines this is on level six I believe so yeah this is really cool so you can check this out they also have those little
Machines where you put coins in you twist it and you can get one of those uh little anime toys out of it as well so yeah they have a lot of stuff here in this shopping mall so they even have the shink hanen bullet train right here how cool is [Music] that [Music] righto so as you can see behind me they have massive TVs here this one here behind me is 77 in so you can really get so many different things here at the best level of quality it is amazing and just here behind me we have an 8K TV when
Do you see AK TVs they have so many in different sizes too it’s really really [Music] [Applause] [Music] cool so we are right outside now the akih Haba game Panic this building is seven stories filled with arcade games so let’s go check it [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
Out so up the top they have a full arcade gaming area so this is really cool they have different anime games and all different types of games to play here so yeah and then the other levels they have vending machines they also have prize winning games and all
Different things so when you come here you should definitely check this [Music] out D as you can see here they have these tapping games where you got to test how quick your reactions are to the different lights and colors this is crazy some of these guys here are really Good so you can even win different little anime dolls and stuff like that here with these Co machines I’ve seen a few people try it but their luck sort of runs in out I think there’s a little
Trick to it and most people don’t win so across the street we have gigo which is pretty much the same as game Panic except some different games and you can win a few different prizes but this
One in game Panic pretty much the same directly opposite so yeah if you come here check out both so just behind me you have love Mercy this is a adult shop with a whole a whole heap of
Anime themed costumes and yeah you could use your imagination for the rest I won’t be going in here today but it’s good to know that that’s here if that’s something you’re interested [Music] in so we just came into media World which is on this Main Street this place has anything
From anime key Rings keychains costumes d d magazines everything anime yes this place is crazy insane for example we have anime David D everything anime CDs they even have little anime dolls and different statues and figurines 365 as well
If that’s what you’re interested in so yeah as much as I’m not really too cultured on the whole anime scene there a lot of different DVDs magazines books figurines you can all get in this shop so definitely check this one out just behind me we have may dreaman Cafe this
Is one of the made cafes we won’t be going in here today but if that’s something you’re interested in you should definitely check it out they have Maids dressed up fully hair done makeup and everything like that and they serve you different sweets and lunches and
Drinks so yeah this is something really cool and it’s quite popular here in Japan okay so we’re now out the front of ataki HRA radio kkan probably saying that wrong but this is full of anime and manga figures figurines comic books so let’s go in and check it out [Music]
So right now we are at Hobby station where you can get a whole heap of different trading cards for example Pokémon Yu-Gi-Oh and that type of thing so yeah this is really cool as well one thing thing I did not realize about anime though is how sexualized everything is for example a
Lot of the figurines of the girls it’s very sexualized which I sort of knew that I didn’t really have an idea of how big that was and yeah it’s really common theme here I’m not too sure
Like why that is or or the reason behind it but yeah I just found that interesting So speaking of trading cards they actually have dedicated cafes to come and sit down and play with your cards and ver people so yeah this is really cool they really support the community here so right
Behind me we have this statue here called auma correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that that means Eastern winds in Japanese so yeah that’s sort of interesting isn’t it for example just
To give you an idea of the price this doll behind me is 80,000 yen I’ll put up the conversions here but yeah these things don’t come cheap they even have playing card vending machines how cool is that we’re going to an ow Cafe just around the corner here to check
Out some cute hours and sort of see what it’s all [Music] about [Music] [Music] sh [Music] Unfortunately today is our last day in Japan so we decided to pack in a few activities and do some unique catch and cook eating which you’ll see towards the end of this [Music]
Video get and good morning guys and welcome back to another day here in oaka Japan I am so excited to take you around here we’re right outside now at the hemp five Ferris wheel so uh let’s go and check it [Music]
Out so this Ferris wheel is actually in this massive Mall here we have to go all the way up to the sth floor you can see it actually just above me here so uh let’s go up and check it
Out so that’s another thing that I’ve noticed in Japan is everyone cues to the right hand side of the escalator so anyone who wants to come across they just go in the left hand side and they can pass everyone so it’s really efficient as soon as you just get on the uh escalator
People just go to the right and if you’re in a rush you go to the left so makes [Music] sense okay so we just came into the ferris wheel we just scanned our amazing passes which we used yesterday so uh let’s jump [Music]
On another bonus is no Q we rocked up early this morning no que straight on so uh that’s good too let’s um see what this view is Like wow this is super nice just like sitting up here chilling I’m not sure how long we go around for I think it’s once but we’ll soon see if we get to go around again but wow this is cool anyone
Who is afraid of heights probably wouldn’t recommend it or just don’t look down but uh yeah this is pretty magical okay we have just reached the top oh my gosh this is amazing for
Only 3,600 y so good so as well in every single cart when you jump in they have these little uh information stickers that show you what’s on each side north south east and west so when you get in
Here have a little read cuz it actually is quite fascinating to sort of see what you’re looking at this Ferris wheel is a great way just to see the whole of the city and it’s fun [Music] too Right guys so we are now in front of the fishing restaurant I will put the name here because could it is way too hard to pronounce so uh yeah let’s go in and um check it out yes uh yeah can we catch our fish oh okay fishing yes fishing fishing fishing cook yes
Okay okay okay no Japanese uh no Japanese ah okay yeah [Music] okay wait wait wait [Music] so I’ve just been given a list of instructions just bear with me guys in this video there’s a
Lot going on here so I believe here we have our bait but I just need to read these instructions and work out how we’re meant to fish and what we’re meant to do none of the staff
Here speak very good English at all so we got to try and work this out but we’ll work it out so pretty much what we have to do is there’s only one type of fish that uses the bait for
Fishing if we choose that fish then we can use the bait and use the fishing rod any other type of fish we use a yellow fishing rod to just hook them and then we um catch them in the net and then tell
The staff what fish we need I think so let’s see if we can do this see how we go fishing in [Music] Japan sa that right here we go here we go oh oh oh oh we got one I got one [Music] okay we’ve got our
Fish so now we have to do is give this to the staff and tell them how we want it cook number uh seven yes um so we can get it in shashimi grilled hampura deep fried skew maybe
That’s good uh two CH oh two okay um and uh salt grilled righto so uh that’s how you catch a fish and get it cooked here in Japan so uh let’s sit down and see how the uh fish come out so
When you come here you can actually sit in a boat as well which um is another option too okay so we have sat down and they’ve just put um this like little taster thing in front of
Our plate called a to now I don’t know if it’s meant to be had with the fish or by itself um if everyone starts laughing at me it’s meant to be with the fish but let’s just taste it without
It it’s sort of like um it’s just a type of seasoned vegetable really nice so we’ve obviously we’ve went for fried deep fried stewards for our fish and we also got salt grilled as well so I’m really excited for this to come out so all together including
We’ve got two draft beers as well and the fish all together should come out to be about $40 Australian or about um $30 us beautiful thank you yeah in saying that here come our beers now so cheers guys oh that’s lovely lovely draft beer can’t beat
It Okay so we’ve just had our salad and deep fried fish come out I was going to wait for everything to come out so I could film it but this fish is hot so we’re going to give one a taste right now so I’m just going to try it with the black
Sauce oh my God M oh that is so good as soon as I crunched in the whole thing just melts in your mouth I’ll try it without the sauce now you know I’m not normally a massive lover of fish but when fish is good I love it like it has
To be really good for me to love it and this is great as well another thing I love about this is the batter isn’t even that heavy it’s like so thin it’s like crazy so [Music] nice
Wow definitely come here I’ll leave the Google Map Link in the description if you’re coming to Japan you need to come to one of these restaurants it’s so good one thing realized as well the reason why
This is so fresh is cuz I literally just caught it when can you ever catch something and get it cooked pretty much straight away bya a chef in a full ready prepared kitchen with everything
To go you just can’t even if you cook it yourself and and fish at a beach and come home it’s still not as fresh as this it’s literally from water to plate in literally 10 minutes so awesome so
With any good piece of meat fish main course dinner you want something to come with it in that case we have salad so uh let’s give this a shot it’s got some lovely mayonnaise croutons um red onion and H sword so let’s get this a [Music] go really nice and fresh compliments
The fish well can’t complain so nice oh my gosh so take a look at this fish wow so this is the salt baked fish so I’m just going to pull back the skin here and get some of this meat just bear with
Me gosh right I might have to use my hands for this oh look at that oh man okay [Music] all well yep that’s it no bones too only Bones on this side which is really nice actually wow so I’m just
Going to put a little bit of seasoning on it too a bit of lemon so we’ll try some of the skin as well o M oh wow it’s like slightly pan fried on each side it’s really crunchy Super Fresh too so
Fresh that with the lemon on top beautiful so we’ll just dip some in the sauce as [Music] well W having it with the sauce 10 out of 10 now anyone in the comments can you let me
Know what this is cuz I have no idea um I’ll just give it a try I [Music] guess I don’t know it tastes like a vegetable I think let me know in the comments so I’m
Just about to try the tail of the fish which I have been told is actually the nicest part of the fish so let’s give this The [Music] Taste yeah they’re not wrong wow M so good so good I
Got to say this is a very amazing experience if you’re coming to Japan you want something a little bit different you know from the classic ramen shops or um or your sushi shops as well definitely come here and try something like this it’s really fun as well
If you have kids bring them take lot of photos it’s a really good experience so we’re going to dig into this and uh finish this one off [Music] yes right guys so that ends today’s video thank you for coming along I hope you enjoyed the feris wheel and I also hope you
Enjoyed this restaurant as always guys keep it real and I’ll see you in the next one cheers

What is the best strategy to enter crypto trading for someone with more or less than $5,000 to invest?
Brother very good information
My favorite county ❤🗾 Japan I will come ❤
Nice one
Wait, you have been to Japan because you did a YouTube video on. So I'm confused when you say it's your first time. Great videos of your travels
Great going Jack- almost 50k subs- Keeping it real!
really bad title. for starters, you shouldn't use perfect as a comparative, and its pretty distasteful to call it more perfect (whatever than even means) than other Asian countries. Japan is a looong way from perfect. you should probably learn more about a place before declaring it perfect.
Enjoying the video Jack. Great information. I need to go to Japan. It would be fun to have a Japan vs China Video. I know you have been to both. I am sure you will be the king of travel vloggers soon if you keep making video like this.
