To how to order food and also how to avoid the busy crowds there is a lot of other tourists  here Iâll also be sharing with you some budget and non-budget accommodations as well as some Â
Travel hacks to get the best out of Japan not only that but weâll also be going to some of  the things that you may not know about Japan Japan has stories and surprises waiting for us at every Â
Corner so whether youâre 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 Iâm so excited Iâve only been  in this country for probably about 11 hours now and my mind is blown so today what we are doing Â
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 Â
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 canât beat that so come with me today Â
As we explore a sucker Japan is finally open for tourists so letâs go and letâs have [Music] fun [Music] sky in the air here is so clear thereâs no pollution weâre in a blue sky day and itâs Â
Long pants and jumper weather but itâs not that cold the sunâs 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 Â
Is really good so right now weâre going to go to Osaka castle and check that one out one of the  popular um American Sports here itâs 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 Â
So yeah we just stumbled across this walk into the castle but uh yeah Iâll try not to get [Applause] [Music] hit so yeah as you can see this is a beautiful beautiful country itâs so quiet itâs so peaceful Â
The people are so respectful Iâm like Iâm low te like Iâm low ke tearing up Iâm tearing up just  a little bit because itâs like so different you donât see you donât see this high level of respect Â
Anywhere in the world and itâs like I feel like the whole city has just done like a yoga session  or something thatâs how calm everyone is itâs so quiet itâs so nurturing the trees are lovely the  sun is out people are running theyâre excising people look fit and healthy and thereâs a train Â
Like look at this [Music] train radio so weâre walking up to the ahaka castle now oh my gosh  Iâm so excited I know keep on saying how excited I am but I really am like Iâm not just putting Â
This on for the Vlog guys like I am very excited to be here Iâve wanted to go to Japan for so long  now and Iâm finally here and this time like Iâve I have this YouTube channel so I can even share Â
How Iâm feeling and everything I experience so yeah todayâs 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 Â
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 Â
In 1498 and the castle that weâre going to now was founded in 1570 so letâs go check it [Music] out [Music] so believe it or not this behind me is a shopping center yes has shops and restaurants Â
In it right next to the castle Temple that weâre 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 Â
Would cost I think $8 but um yeah we get in for free with our pass so thatâs a bonus so thereâs  actually a wishing well here just behind me so people have chucked in coins and even notes into Â
The well uh to wish for things and good luck but um weâre just in front of the castle now so letâs  go [Music] in so weâve just made it to the top of the castle and you can literally see all over the Â
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 youâre coming up here thereâs no filming on the third and fourth Â
Floor um so thatâs a museum um the reason for no filming is to protect the rights of the artworks  and the art in the museum Iâll be leaving the Google Map links to every to everywhere we go Â
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 thatâs how clear it is thereâs Â
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 thatâs the first time Iâve ever seen holog  RS before Oh my gosh thereâs going to be so much technology in this city it is crazy Iâm 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 Â
So high as Iâve already said youâre 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 thatâs Â
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 Â
Have a great Health Care system too so yeah you can really see that in Japan itâs super fascinating so as weâre coming back out now the Lâs doing another rake of leaves on the  other side saying the exact same thing oh my go so weâre just walking up to Â
Now some um local Street Market market so letâs go check it out and see if we  can find some food well thereâs so many options I do not know what to choose and  I donât know what anything says cuz itâs all in Japanese so um letâs 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 didnât speak  English so I just pointed and I just said one so um got some chopsticks
Too so Iâm about to use my first ever vending machine here in Japan they have  100% orange juice so Iâm going to get this one you just put the money in Click what you  want and Bam so letâs give this a taste made from the Coca-Cola Company fun fact Â
Oh yeah that is good that is definitely 100% good stuff all right so now itâs  time weâre going to get on the ferry go around the uh River here so letâs [Music] go wow this looks very poch windows are totally open as [Music] well okay how goodâs this window Â
Seat I cannot wait itâs going to be so much fun you can probably hear in the background  as well thereâs 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 Â
The water here and itâs 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 itâs really cool thereâs also fishermen on the side fishing and yeah people just enjoying Â
Their Sunday righto so we just jumped off the boat then that was a uh that was really really  fun so right now weâre going to a observation deck we got to jump back on the Metro so uh Â
Yeah letâs [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 youâd Â
Think when the tree brushed up against it it sort of just move off but itâs 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 Â
The metro and trains here um thereâs 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 Â
To pay cash and just get a ticket as well so donât 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 Â
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 Â
Anime sort of like costume stuff itâs like itâs crazy the signs the culture the smells itâs just  Iâm 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 weâre about to go up to oh my gosh this should be fun letâs [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 Â
They can come and lock their uh their love on on this gate viewing the entire city itâs pretty  romantic isnât it maybe one day Iâll um Iâll get to do the same so there we go our first successful Â
Day exploring Osaka Japan I hope youâre liking the documentary thus far next up weâre going  to be exploring some other sites in Osaka so you might also be wondering Jack how are you getting  data when youâre going around Japan whatâs the best way to get a SIM card well thatâs where Â
Nomad eim comes in thank you Nomad for sponsoring this video so if youâve been watching my videos  for a while youâll know that Nomad has been a part of my travels for years now I use them in Â
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 Â
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 Â
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 Â
An eim is a great thing to have being able to have data when youâre seeing the immigration  officer and having to show your hotel booking or even when youâre just traveling around and needing  Google Maps posting Instagram photos and I can even hotspot my phone to upload YouTube videos Â
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 youâre interested in getting an Asim on your next trip then click my link Â
Below in the description box and get started by downloading The Nomad app today letâs 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 Â
Cars or the mini looking cars so so yeah itâs actually quite nice because the noise pollution  is also down the real time pollution is also down itâll be crazy when Japan goes fully electric for  electric cars then thereâll be like silence on the roads it be crazy look so many [Music] bikes Â
Righto so weâre off to our first activity today we got to get on the red line towards platform 2  towards srio I believe Iâm saying that right maybe so letâs [Music] [Applause] [Music] go todayâs day extremely lovely day too like look at these blue skies behind Â
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 letâs [Music] [Applause] Go righto so we just got off the mon Rail and weâve made it to our first stop here for today which  Iâll show you guys in just a second but I just want to show you this massive car park behind Â
Me and theyâve 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 thereâs not  many cars people just use public transport itâs so lovely but but Iâm just seeing this amazing Â
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 Â
Biggest ferris wheel in Japan and youâre about to come on it with me so letâs [Music] go donât you to so once again weâre using out a sucker amazing pass to get on this ride for free Â
Only 3,600 Yen for this which is very affordable hey so we made it in so excited this oh theyâre waving the biggest Ferris will in all of Japan perhaps even in all of Asia but I  donât know that so this is 100 123 M um so yeah letâs 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 Â
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 everythingâs so clean well thought out well designed so Iâll  just quickly go through some of the landmarks that are around here that weâll be able to see Â
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 Â
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 Â
Everything right so we just got to the Bottom now so weâre 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 letâs 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 Â
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 Â
Highly industrialized country still taking great pains to preserve its Traditions so for a bit of  context thereâs one every 5 years the last one was in Dubai and this one was in 1970 so weâre Â
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 itâs going to be good so we do have a massive Â
Map so weâre going to go around here and uh see what they have to offer so letâs [Music] go so these Expos that are every 5 years so it depends on the country if they want to put in Â
To um to build um their Pavilion and sort of show off their country so this one that was  in 1970 Australia wasnât actually in there well I couldnât see it on the map anyway but New Zealand Â
Burma and a whole heap of other countries are in there so weâre going to be around going around  and exploring those Pavilions today so uh yeah letâs check it out so weâve just came down to  the lake here and they actually have uh pedalos or like pedal boats theyâre actually a little Â
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 itâs probably pretty romantic too so bring your partner if youâve Â
Got one if you donât 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 Â
Is one exhibit here thatâs sort of overgrown thereâs not really any entry in but thereâs  no security guards or anything around but I wonder if this door you can open it no itâs  locked oh well one toaster car two toaster cars four toaster cars we have now just entered in Â
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 Australiaâs been like pretty much flooding getting so much rain but these um these roses are Â
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 letâs walk around here and have a little [Music] look
[Music] check out all these koi car wow thereâs 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 Iâm  so excited to show you guys this because there is two really good seasons for c for Â
Cinematography in Japan number one cherry blossoms unfortunately weâre 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 Iâve noticed about Japan is it is so quiet so every  time I Vlog I feel like Iâm disturbing the peace because everyone is just so silent so  calm so chill like no one says anything unless they need to itâs like itâs so
[Music] different [Music] I tell you what thereâs 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 weâve seen a few people here and there but itâs 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 didnât  catch it on film but he went up and he blew all of the dust out of the flower Â
Before he took a photo itâs so nice to see people who have retired just  doing their own little thing and thatâs his hobby you know itâs so cool soft serve strawberry Co okay thank you very much  have a nice day see you wow look at that soft serve letâs give this a
Taste oh that is good wow that is probably yep that is the best soft serve Iâve 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 Â
So stay tuned for that one Iâm just loving Japan every single thing that we go to is  just just leveling up my expectations itâs just awesome so uh yeah letâs [Music] go [Music] so this Tower here thatâs where weâre going right now so Â
Letâs [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 sunâs setting too so [Music] wow [Music] So right now Iâm going to go on the slide thereâs no filming loud  but Iâm going to try and sneak this GoPro on there so letâs see how we  go right go got my mat got my helmet letâs go letâs go letâs go letâs 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 Â
Pointed at that and we said can we have one we have no idea what weâre getting they have a very  professional sushi chef here as you can see this kitchen is very traditional so Iâm very excited to Â
Try this one um so yeah letâs see what comes out I have no idea righto so our shushi just  came out so letâs 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 thatâs 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 weâre not going to Tokyo just [Music] [Applause] yet so weâre going about somewhere half way in between let me [Applause] explain we are going on one of the worldâs fastest and most technologically advanced Â
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 Iâm going to take you along today show Â
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 Â
So Iâm 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 itâs going to Â
Be worth it so come along with me and letâs go so to get these tickets you can book it online and  Iâll leave the link in the description for where to get that so once you book it online you get Â
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 itâs very easy and one small detail I might have forgot to mention Â
Weâre getting first class today letâs [Music] go they also have a smoking room here you donât see  that very often uh in Australia or America let me tell you but uh in Japan quite [Music] common Â
Okay so we just came up and weâve got one of the bullet trains here and another one here behind  me I think this one behind me is ours but it says itâs not in service at the moment but I think in Â
About 15 minutes Itâll 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 itâs going to be fun so Iâve just sat down to eat my breakfast Â
And thatâs one thing here about Japan all the public seating is so comfortable I sat down Iâm  like o this is comfy not normally used to that in most countries I go to all righty letâs give Â
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 theyâre like donât even though Â
Thereâs a gate so itâs all about safety but uh itâs quite funny oh weâve got one leaving right now man oh man and thatâs it thatâs 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 Â
Fast trains but Iâve 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 Iâm so excited so this here is the massive Gates we got to walk through to get Â
On the train so different to so many other systems oh my gosh look at these seats first class  baby letâs go good evening uh no sir youâre infection first class good evening so if you are coming on here with a big bag youâll be completely fine a lot of
Room this is a first class seat wow oh my gosh Iâm going to love this trip including either  end of the you [Music] no back we go nice so this isnât just a big seat we have this  amazing footrest here that has two different positions we have different magazines in all Â
Of the netting and compartments so if you donât 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 Â
Actually got a discount booking first class early on so thatâs 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 Â
Discount In First Class which I think is only an extra $10 or $15 so itâs definitely worth it but  um yeah I probably should be a bit more quiet now because I think weâre 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 Iâve been on in Thailand go up Â
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 Â
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 itâs Â
Just no chance that thatâs 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  canât complain Iâm going to dig into some work now and do some editing so uh letâs go [Music] Is actually crazy how very few people there are on this train a lot of the seats are actually  empty thereâs actually a faster train that goes an extra 20 km per hour thatâs a lot  more popular but this one thereâs 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 youâre exploring a train you can just keep walking other than opening  the door going to the next Carriage itâs pretty special weâre going top speed now Iâm really trying not to fall over jeez that would be [Music]
Embarrassing for those of you who like toilet reviews not bad itâs actually crazy  even though weâre going 300 km an hour when youâre sitting down you donât feel the speed  at all but obviously when I was walking then I was a little bit sway but thatâs probably just Â
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 thatâs not on a plane this is the future right here so Â
Weâve stopped here on the platform for like 5 minutes so I thought Iâd film the train  check this out hopefully the train doesnât leave without me but uh thatâs pretty cool  Iâll hop back on I wonât 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 Â
So much to film I really hope that um youâve enjoyed this video so far I tried to capture  the best I could and show you guys what youâll experience when you come on these trains because  it definitely is a must itâs the cheapest way to get around Japan rather than flying Â
Um domestically and plus itâs a really fun experience like who doesnât 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 Â
Do something extremely cool and thatâs 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 Â
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 Â
Include a wider range of animals such as dogs owls and even reptiles so weâre going to jump  into it today and see what it is really about so get good morning guys todayâs video is going to Â
Be quite a different one but really exciting today weâre going to two different cafes in this video  our first Cafe will be a cat cafe you might be thinking a cat cafe whatâs that well weâre about Â
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 donât kill me in the comments Matt behind the camera doesnât Â
Look too happy when I say that I actually have a cat and a dog at home that I havenât seen for a  whole year so yeah letâs go up here to the top of this building where the Cat Cafe is and see Â
What itâs all about see what it is in Japan that makes these cat cafes so special and um yeah letâs go so weâve 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 thereâd be like  maybe four or five cats but thereâs 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 Â
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 Â
They have a lot of different drinks this oneâs 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 Iâm getting attacked right now so yeah as you can see they they also have like Â
A place where you can sit down you can um read and Pat the kittens and and play with them and  theyâre all sleeping here they have little sleeping spots dark sleeping spots as well  this one behind here is actually trying to eat um Mattâs wallet ow theyâre just attacking me Â
Iâm trying to be nice with them and play with them but theyâre just theyâre just attacking me um this oneâs actually quite friendly but the other kittens are being very violent trying  to trying to Vlog here here is a struggle when theyâre all trying to attack you so this place Â
My first impressions mind blown this is really fun so it was 500 yen for half an hour so thatâs  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 Â
Really looked after um their Furs lovely yeah itâs 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 Â
Which I say keeps the cats very entertained you can also wash your hands here before and  after you leave so itâs really hygienic before you Pat the cats after so yeah theyâre really  really looked after really well so itâs good to see and this is the uh little hole where they Â
Can do their business in privacy they really think of everything here itâs itâs quite funny actually  so this place is really really lovely um this is the name in Japanese too Iâll leave a link Â
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 theyâre theyâre [Music] lovely [Music] okay so Â
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 itâs probably too late by the time you let me know but Â
Let me know Iâm ow Iâm in ow this one here is a troublemaker you are all it wants to do is hurt me  letâs try this yet chocolate milkshake letâs give this a go I just realized thereâs a cat in this
Table oh my gosh okay thereâs literally cats everywhere okay M beautiful refreshing couldnât  ask for more itâs actually quite hot today today in Japan hence why Iâm wearing a short  sleeve shirt Iâve been wearing a lot of winter clothes lately this place is nice Â
Itâs sort of like therapy in a way you know if youâre stressed thereâs no one else here itâs  just me and Matt behind the camera and um yeah itâs lovely itâs really nice for500 Yen $5 you Â
Get to spend half an hour with cats um another 500 yen for a drink $10 in Japan canât complain  itâs pretty nice isnât it so Iâm really interested now to see what the Dog Cafe is like or the Sheba Â
Enu Cafe thatâs that little meme dog that was turned into a cryptocurrency a sheu or an enu  Iâm not sure um so yeah letâs magically teleport to Tokyo now see what that Cafe is about and just Â
Like that weâre in Tokyo so Iâm 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 couldnât resist to take you guys to a Â
Piglet Cafe right so we about to go up here and see little miniature pigs so come along with me  letâs see what itâs all about letâs see what they have to offer and um yeah when do you ever get Â
To hold a cute little piglet so come along with me be right beside me and letâs experience this Together [Music] buddy oh my gosh we just walked in and thereâs 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 Â
Gosh look at this it has a little bell whatever that means be ringing the people oh so the pigs  donât really like me they really like Matt but not me I think they know Mattâs actually vegetarian Â
And Iâm not and I think they may know that so uh yeah theyâre giving Matt all the attention here I know he eats bacon and he loves pork chops as well I donât I know I all righty Â
The tables have bur now I now have a pe oh oh heâs trying to bite me why do you always  want to attack me so itâs 1,300 yen to get in here and this um this drink was 600 Yen Â
So all together weâre looking about 2,000 Yen for the experience which is about 20  Australian this oneâs trying to bite me or um hey you canât eat that for $15 US  so weâve got some pink milk match the theme pink piglets pink milk so letâs give this a Â
Taste oo thatâs lovely very strong strawberry M wow thatâs a oh thatâs 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 Â
And eat your clothes um but yeah itâs really really nice thereâs about five  different little private rooms we in a private room and you get two piglets per  room so itâs really lovely and something you should definitely do when you come here in
Japan itâs so weird their snouts are super soft and they feel weird like  nothing like youâve ever felt before they feel really strange so if you come here just  when theyâre sleeping just feel their SN because itâs really really [Music]
Weird so right now both pigs are actually sleeping in Mattâs arms take a look at this isnât that the cutest thing youâve ever seen okay so our half  an hour is almost up here this has been a great experience and something I wonât Â
Forget to cuddle little baby piglets when do you ever get to do that so Iâm excited  you guys can be right right beside me today experiencing this as well cuz itâs 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 arenât these guys cute so if youâre  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 Â
And as soon as Matt and I walked in they all came to sit with us and we think itâs because  of the pigs this morning that can smell the pigs on us and theyâre 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 donât really know how I feel  about the bandana around their neck I donât 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 wasnât my Â
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 werenât when they didnât want to Pat so yeah it was Â
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 Â
Some real sightseeing and try to see the famous Mount Fuji so thatâs exactly what we did [Music] Oh Baby Donât 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 Â
Mountain that looks over Mount Fuji and weâre also getting a cable card all the way up there  so come along with me today today should be a really fun adventure Iâm going to show you all  all the different trains we get leave all the Google Map links in the description so come Â
Along with me be right beside me and letâs have a great adventure here in Japan letâs [Music] go so thatâs one thing I actually love about here in Japan everything is so safe you youâd Â
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 donât usually  worry about anything so itâs really nice and comforting to be in a city where you donât Â
Really have to have that on the Forefront of your mind always be smart and realize what place youâre  in and you know be aware of your surroundings but also when youâre in a country like Japan Â
Doesnât have to be in the front of your mind so itâs really nice traveling in a country like that [Music] radio so Iâll just explain to you what happened there so weâve got  our ticket well weâve got two tickets actually from shiok to oara um Iâm probably saying that Â
Wrong but bear with me so the two tickets one means that weâre paying for the train there the  second ticket means that weâre 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 Â
Get off weâll put both tickets back into the ticket machine and weâll do the same thing  so yeah thatâs sort of how it works here with the bullet trains and as you see thereâs one right so for anyone who likes bullet trains youâre pretty much in bullet train heaven Â
Right now yeah so thatâs how the tickets work so for those of you who donât 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 Â
Non-powered so thatâs called distributed traction for anyone who didnât know that  radio so weâre on the train today our second class not first class you canât always ride  first class guys so for those for those of you who ripped me in the comments last video Â
For riding first class Iâm now in second class okay so weâll be on this train for 45 minutes  and then weâll reach the bottom of the hill where sorry the bottom of the mountain that  weâre going to view from there we need to get two more trains so yeah letâs [Music]
Go Oh Baby donât cry donât cry CU stayâs 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 youâve noticed Iâve actually got my Â
Jumper back on itâs quite funny in Japan when you go indoors itâs 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 itâs really cold so you put all your clothes back Â
On thatâs why I love Asian so much because itâs a constant you can just wear a T-shirt  and youâll be right but whoâs complaining weâre still in Japan and this is [Music] fantastic so I just got this from some school children like little kindergarten 6-year-olds Â
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 weâre doing this for 1 day so this was um 3,600 Yen which includes the Â
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 Â
And I think itâs actually this one here so letâs get [Music] on I just want to tell you that no no  so this train that weâre on now is more of like a communa train but the next train we get on is Â
A really scenic train so I donât think Iâll film much of this one but the next train is way more  Scenic so uh yeah Iâm really excited for that to be able to show you guys all amazing shots Â
Of the mountain all my better take care that man is how goodâs 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 itâs actually a standard gauge track so normally Â
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 doesnât have that  so itâs very well built to be able to come up this steep gradient as you can see here Â
In this footage I donât know how well it shows the gradient of how steep it  is but trust me itâs steep so these Japanese trains are something else let me tell [Music] you they just said on the speaker then these tunnels that weâre going through Â
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 Â
Obviously with restoration and repairs over time but still so cool so a little bit more  train terminology for those of you who didnât know this clip here Iâll zoom in but thereâs  actually a guide rail next to the main rail what that does is on tight turns it guides Â
The wheel I guess you could say of the train so it doesnât slip off and derail the train  so on really tight turns itâs 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 weâre at hack 1 right now the cable cart  doesnât leave for another 25 minutes so weâre 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 Â
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 Â
Be good hey got my hot dog and got on the tram just in time oh [Music] [Applause] man so weâve just came out to this Viewpoint and I donât know if you can see but thereâs a  little man um carved out here into the mountain which is really really cool Japanese people are Â
So creative they also have this humongous table here so you can look out at the view  itâs so extra everything they do is extra here itâs crazy but itâd be really nice  get some food and just sit there admire the view so cool really excited for this finally Â
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 itâs really nice up here it always scares me when we go over those middle HS like the Â
The cart rocks and itâs 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 donât know if  thatâs a good sign to breathe in what we just breathed in but uh yeah anyway radio itâs about Â
To be very windy out here so bear with me but uh wow this is cool so now weâre 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 Iâve just put on my bigger jacket and um weâre about to go  out here where you saw the S before bear with me with the audio because itâs about  to be very very windy um so yeah letâs go and have a look oh it is cold out here W Â
Yeah there you go thereâs the wind oh it is cold freezing okay Iâll show you guys  this with um some music so you donât 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 itâs covered in clouds so um Iâll wait  for the clouds to clear and then film it and show you guys but wow this is so cool just Â
Being right in front of it radio so I just looked at the weather and it looks like itâs going to be  cloudy over there for a little bit longer so Iâll 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 itâs 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 letâs 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 whatâs  even cheaper and sometimes even more delicious is 7-Eleven or family Mar food and you might Â
Be wondering isnât 7-Eleven a gas station like in America or no let me take you on a  journey to Japan 7-Eleven this morning weâll get a 7-Eleven breakfast lunchtime weâll get a Family  Mart lunch and dinner time well weâre going to get a little mix of both with some random Â
Goodies in there as well come along with with me today letâs get this day started to 7-Eleven we  go so the good news is when youâre trying to find a family mod or 7-eleven here in Japan Â
Theyâre only a few meters away if you look here with me thereâs a 7-Eleven just here so letâs go 10 seconds later righto well that was a fail I got kicked out of that 7-Eleven for  filming um I wasnât getting in customers way but maybe they just didnât want me to Â
Film any outdated sandwiches or something I donât know anyway thatâs right weâll go  to a different 7-Eleven and Iâll 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 Â
I got one cuz holding this camera and this stuff is uh a little bit tricky but thatâs  okay so letâs find somewhere to sit Iâll try this food and talk a little bit about um the Â
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 Â
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 Iâm ke to try this so this was my whole breakfast Â
So all of this together cost 670 Yen so first things first letâs try the coffee cuz coffee  is always the first thing you got to have to wake up in the morning letâs give this Â
A [Music] taste oh yeah that is good M weâve got two more things to try so letâs find a another  cool spot and Iâm going and try that okay so next up we have the mango blend smoothie so Â
Letâs give this a try Iâm really excited about this one anything smoothie related oh I love it oh itâs not really smoothie itâs more a juice am I meant to shake it nope itâs still a juice itâs lovely though but when it says smoothie on it does it say smoothie Â
Oh it doesnât so there was smoothies next to it I chose mango blend which must mean juice anyway  so yeah this juice um is quite nice itâs really really fresh I would tell you the ingredients but Â
Itâs all in Japanese so Japanese followers you can definitely read this okay so the sandwich the main  Glory here so letâs give this a shot sort of like an ASMR tutorial video isnât it and then there we Â
Go we have the sandwich honey mustard broccol and egg yum M oh wow thatâs fresh one thing that I  have noticed though in Japan is they cut the crust off the bread for me thatâs actually my favorite Â
Part but a lot of Japanese people mustnât like the crust on their bread so they cut it off so  we are now waiting for our bullet train but while weâre waiting I thought I would pick up a snack Â
From the vending machine here so Iâm going to get a 100% % orange juice um this oneâs only 170 Yen  so $170 Australian Iâll put the other conversions here so just a quick snack from the vending
Machine okay and itâs that easy so weâve got our drink letâs give this one a try oh yeah  that definitely tastes like 100% so good letâs get on this bullet train okay so we are now on Â
The bullet train Iâm 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 weâll go to a Â
Family Mart to eat lunch so Iâm 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 theyâre currently building a magift train which is propelled by by magnets which Â
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 Â
Off the train and um yeah now we got to go and find some family Mar food for lunch and  then weâre on a different train for our last train to Tokyo so uh yeah this should be fun Â
Todayâs already amazing day blue skies goodbye lovely people so yeah letâs go okay so I just  had a little look around and thereâs no Family Mart inside the station but thereâs just one I  saw on Google Maps just outside the station so letâs go there and pick up some [Music] lunch So Iâve got my lunch here Iâve 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 weâre back Â
In the train station but what Iâve 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 Â
You are you good yes thatâs good sure are you from here no from K oh nice nice I love Japan  itâs very good this is yeah very good it smells good oh yes it smells very good 50 54 Toyo oh Â
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 Â
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 Â
Good okay thank you bye-bye the locals here are so lovely that was unexpected right so letâs try this  so weâve got some grilled pork some rice and Iâll also get actually a little bit of onion as well Â
If I knew how to use chopsticks this would be a lot easier M the meat is cut super fine so itâs  nice and tender even though for a microwave meal this is really good this was actually originally Â
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 Iâm going to try for you guys is this mystery yogurt of some sort I donât really Â
Know it has a bunch of Japanese um and Chinese writing on it so yeah letâs just give this a  shot I have no idea if itâs going to taste good it smells [Music] nice sort of like in between Â
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 Iâll put the other conversions here for a $6.40 lunch Â
Here in Tokyo not bad weâre going to dig into this and then letâs hop on the train to [Music] Tokyo righto so we are now on the train and heading towards Tokyo weâve got this massive window Â
Here that looks out so we are right at the back of the train so weâll be able to see  all this like panoramic view of the city so epic so uh yeah see you guys through Â
The power of editing weâre going to be on this train for I think 2 hours or 2 and  1/2 hours Iâm not too sure and then weâll end off in Tokyo Iâll 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 weâre getting so letâs come Â
In and have a look so as youâre 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 weâve got um Â
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 Â
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 goodâs this so we have our own little balcony can sit Â
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 youâre coming to Tokyo with a  friend you could easily share this get all the amenities if youâre wondering where the shower Â
Is itâs actually directly across from our room itâs a shared shower but they are really clean  and have different soaps and shampoos and all of that and thereâs 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 Â
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 Â
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 Â
Like [Music] that righty guys so we are back with the third and final meal which is dinner so  Iâve went to 7-Eleven and family to pick up two different things so weâve got a um some type of Â
Meat stick in here so letâs just give this a try first this is more like a snack but I was really  hungry I donât know how I could be hungry Iâve eaten so much today but letâs give this a go so Â
This one here is from Family Mart pretty good the meatâs 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 Â
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 Â
Really really good but because weâre in our hotel we have plates here and weâre in the common room  here so Iâm just going to do a little flip and eat this one in style if itâll come out oh there Â
We go and that was almost favor so when you get these meals itâs 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 Â
Iâm 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 Â
I feel like family MTS are cheaper in price I think that thereâs 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 Â
Print thereâs more access to ATMs so if I were to choose Iâd probably choose family M because itâs  the cheaper one even though thereâs not as many stores like 7-Eleven family Mt is still a great Â
Option I hope you got an insight into being able to afford food here in Japan if youâre a budget  traveler if youâre coming here or even just to get a quick snack youâre not a budget traveler Â
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 Â
This Temple is actually built in 645 which makes it over 1,500 years old obviously itâs had some  Restorations since then for it to stand to its Glory today but this is actually a Buddhist temple Â
Here in Tokyo Japan so come along with me letâs go check it out and see what itâs all [Music] about So as you can see as busy as this place place is itâs actually really nice and calm I just  feel really calm like normally when Iâm making these videos Iâm like thinking ahead and how to Â
Make the best video but when youâre here you just get this whole sense of peace and I donât know if  itâs because people are coming here to pray and thereâs smoke and people are doing their  wishes and their money donations and praying to Buddha Iâm not too sure but when you come Â
Here I do hope you feel the same peace Iâm 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 thatâs another thing as well youâll see people come in traditional Japanese Â
Clothes to take photos to pray and do it very traditionally itâs actually really  nice you donât 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 itâs 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 itâs like so traditional and so old just next to the temple too Â
Like it ju Japan just blows my mind with the amount of things you can see [Music] here [Music] one thing that Iâve notice like walking around Japan is the roads are so like quiet like Iâm  just walking in the middle of the road right now because people just donât use cars most Â
Of the public transport is so accessible here especially in Tokyo that people just  donât bother driving they either ride their bikes or just take the metro or the bus and  thatâs the best way so really walking around itâs quite a brave thereâs no honking thereâs Â
No worrying about someone running into you because you know youâll 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 youâre in a wheelchair all the stores everythingâs got Â
Ramps all the roads like come up nicely when youâre walking across itâs like literally if  you had a disability and you were in a wheelchair Japan is a place that you would want to live for Â
Sure because it is so easy and then also another thing Iâve 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 Â
Buy at 711 on the food on so many things you just see Braille everywhere so itâs 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 Iâve have no idea Â
What it means so if youâre Japanese can you let me know in the comments cuz this seems  like a really cool I donât know like feature or whatever it is but yeah thatâs interesting [Music] Oh Baby Donât [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 weâre about to go up it and get 360° views Â
Of the city so come along with me letâs see how much it costs and check it [Music] out so  itâs pretty funny whenever Iâm filming like big towers or something like that you donât  really need to use Google Maps once youâre in the city center you just walk towards it Â
Because it stands out like nothing else so yeah letâs [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 Coolâs that so we just bought the tickets Â
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 itâs not a bad price if you ask [Music]
Me okay so we have just came up here to the Sky Deck felt like weâre 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 Â
View of all of Tokyo so letâs 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 thereâs a  lot of people up here and the line here was actually really long it doesnât really feel Â
Too crowded even though there is a lot of people up here itâs still not that [Music] bad so weâve actually came up here at the best time not only did we catch the sun setting but Â
Also all of the lights over Tokyo so itâs a winwin getting The Best of Both Worlds so Iâm so glad I  can take you guys up here with me and just seeing this amazing view of Tokyo itâs honestly blown my Â
Mind how big this city is itâs so clean itâs so welld designed the architecture is amazing  so well thought out and so so [Music] cool so to utilize space as well Iâve noticed this a Â
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 Â
Right now on the top of a roof of a building that looks to be possibly a shopping mall so  theyâre 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 Â
A post box which is really cool so howâs 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 Â
Fascinating and a nice service righto so weâve now made it to the final floor of the observation  deck now weâre just in the queue to get back down so weâre just walking to the metro to go and find  some dinner and weâve just walked through this lovely little mall thatâs all Christmas themed Â
Itâs really [Music] nice [Music] okay so we just came into this local Japanese restaurant um near  our hotel and I have just ordered um itâs 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 Â
Iâve 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 Â
I think you can clean your face I donât know and then yeah so itâs really nice itâs such  a nice treat and wherever you go you normally get a free water as well which is nice so yeah Â
Weâve 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 itâs sort of easy for us Â
To translate it so yeah letâs 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 Â
It thatâs only $7 Australian or about $450 us so letâs give this a try Iâm going to try the broth first Yep this is going to be good so letâs 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 Iâm going to dig into  this after finishing the bowl of noodles that was as big as my head we decided to Â
Explore something quite unique to Japan the anime scene for those of you who donât know  anime stems from Japan and it is huge here so letâs dive in anime in Japan letâs talk about  okay so get and good morning guys today we are in Aki harra the anime Center of Tokyo I donât Â
Know too much about anime but Iâm 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 Â
Going to some cosplay stores some comic stores some toy stores and all different anime things  so come along with me and letâs 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 Â
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 letâs 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 weâve already seen phone cases computers  games hard drives cameras my mind is just overloaded right now so yeah letâs 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 weâre 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 itâs literally like  clicking on the Amazon technology tab on the internet but in real [Music] life
[Music] so did you know if youâre a foreigner here in Japan traveling you donât actually have  to pay tax on Goods that you buy in Japan and no you donât collect the tax money at the airport Â
Like most countries they take the tax off here on the computer system so itâs straight away so  if you want to buy something you might actually be cheaper to buy it in Japan rather than your Â
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 Â
Of their product in the store like thatâs how big it is like hair dryers Iâm just looking  probably see 50 different hair dryers Shavers this shaving goes on to the next 20 M like itâs  crazy for example this whole section here is just dedicated to paper shredders like what Â
Itâs so Overkill itâs crazy so just make sure when you come here you bring your passport so  you can get the tax off thatâs one thing that youâll need it would honestly take me probably  days to explore every single aisle in this whole building so yeah Iâm sure that that you guys get Â
The idea it is Big here so letâs 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 Â
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 youâll 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 PokĂ©mon 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 Â
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 Â
Do you see AK TVs they have so many in different sizes too itâs 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 letâs 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 Â
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 Iâve seen a few people try it but their luck sort of runs in out I think thereâs a little Â
Trick to it and most people donât 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 Â
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 Â
Anime themed costumes and yeah you could use your imagination for the rest I wonât be going in here  today but itâs good to know that thatâs here if thatâs something youâre interested [Music] in so we just came into media World which is on this Main Street this place has anything Â
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 Â
If thatâs what youâre interested in so yeah as much as Iâm 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 Â
Is one of the made cafes we wonât be going in here today but if thatâs something youâre  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 Â
Drinks so yeah this is something really cool and itâs quite popular here in Japan okay so  weâre 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 letâs 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 PokĂ©mon 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 Â
Lot of the figurines of the girls itâs very sexualized which I sort of knew that I didnât  really have an idea of how big that was and yeah itâs really common theme here Iâm not too sure Â
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 Â
Behind me we have this statue here called auma correct me if Iâm wrong but I believe that that  means Eastern winds in Japanese so yeah thatâs sort of interesting isnât it for example just Â
To give you an idea of the price this doll behind me is 80,000 yen Iâll put up the conversions here  but yeah these things donât come cheap they even have playing card vending machines how cool is that weâre going to an ow Cafe just around the corner here to check Â
Out some cute hours and sort of see what itâs 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 youâll 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 weâre right outside  now at the hemp five Ferris wheel so uh letâs 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 letâs go up and check it
Out so thatâs another thing that Iâve 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 itâs really efficient as soon as you just get on the uh escalator Â
People just go to the right and if youâre 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 letâs jump [Music]
On another bonus is no Q we rocked up early this  morning no que straight on so uh thatâs good too letâs um see what this view is Like wow this is super nice just like sitting up here chilling Iâm not sure how long we go around for  I think itâs once but weâll soon see if we get to go around again but wow this is cool anyone Â
Who is afraid of heights probably wouldnât recommend it or just donât look down but uh  yeah this is pretty magical okay we have just reached the top oh my gosh this is amazing for Â
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 whatâs on each side north south east and west so when you get in Â
Here have a little read cuz it actually is quite fascinating to sort of see what youâre looking  at this Ferris wheel is a great way just to see the whole of the city and itâs 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 letâs go in and um check it out yes uh yeah can we catch our fish oh okay fishing yes fishing fishing fishing cook yes Â
Okay okay okay no Japanese uh no Japanese ah okay yeah [Music] okay wait wait wait [Music] so Iâve just been given a list of instructions just bear with me guys in this video thereâs a Â
Lot going on here so I believe here we have our bait but I just need to read these instructions  and work out how weâre meant to fish and what weâre meant to do none of the staff Â
Here speak very good English at all so we got to try and work this out but weâll work it out so pretty much what we have to do is thereâs only one type of fish that uses the bait for Â
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 Â
The staff what fish we need I think so letâs 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 weâve 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 Â
Thatâs good uh two CH oh two okay um and uh salt grilled righto so uh thatâs how you catch a fish  and get it cooked here in Japan so uh letâs sit down and see how the uh fish come out so Â
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 theyâve just put um this like little taster thing in front of Â
Our plate called a to now I donât know if itâs meant to be had with the fish or by itself um  if everyone starts laughing at me itâs meant to be with the fish but letâs just taste it without
It itâs sort of like um itâs just a type of seasoned vegetable really nice so weâve  obviously weâve went for fried deep fried stewards for our fish and we also got salt  grilled as well so Iâm really excited for this to come out so all together including Â
Weâve 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 thatâs lovely lovely draft beer canât beat
It Okay so weâve 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  weâre going to give one a taste right now so Iâm 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 Iâll try it without the sauce now you know Iâm not normally a massive lover of fish but when fish is good I love it like it has Â
To be really good for me to love it and this is great as well another thing I love about  this is the batter isnât even that heavy itâs like so thin itâs like crazy so [Music] nice Â
Wow definitely come here Iâll leave the Google Map Link in the description if youâre coming to Japan  you need to come to one of these restaurants itâs so good one thing realized as well the reason why Â
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 Â
To go you just canât even if you cook it yourself and and fish at a beach and come home itâs still  not as fresh as this itâs literally from water to plate in literally 10 minutes so awesome so Â
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 letâs give this a shot itâs got some lovely mayonnaise croutons  um red onion and H sword so letâs get this a [Music] go really nice and fresh compliments Â
The fish well canât complain so nice oh my gosh so take a look at this fish wow so this is the  salt baked fish so Iâm 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 thatâs it no bones too only Bones on this side which is really nice actually wow so Iâm just Â
Going to put a little bit of seasoning on it too a bit of lemon so weâll try some of the skin as well o M oh wow itâs like slightly pan fried on each side itâs really crunchy Super Fresh too so
Fresh that with the lemon on top beautiful so weâll 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 Â
Know what this is cuz I have no idea um Iâll just give it a try I [Music] guess I donât know it tastes like a vegetable I think let me know in the comments so Iâm Â
Just about to try the tail of the fish which I have been told is actually the nicest part of  the fish so letâs give this The [Music] Taste yeah theyâre not wrong wow M so good so good I Â
Got to say this is a very amazing experience if youâre 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 itâs really fun as well Â
If you have kids bring them take lot of photos itâs a really good experience so weâre going  to dig into this and uh finish this one off [Music] yes right guys so that ends todayâs  video thank you for coming along I hope you enjoyed the feris wheel and I also hope you Â

Most perfect? Japanese butchered millions of ypur fellow humans.
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 â€đŸ Japan I will come â€
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.
