wow that will be a perfect uh photo up
for your
Instagram you see I can’t see a bunch of
people up
there but I don’t know where
to what’s the I don’t know where the the
path that will take me all the way
there we will find out we will get to it
maybe I should
go to the other
[Music]
side
all right I am on my way
to a beautiful
garden and I need to
take the bus I need to take a bus but I
don’t know where where the bus terminal
is it says go this way all right we will
go this way bus number 8 or 148
according to Google
Maps it’s a beautiful station here I
said okay let’s start filming
here this is yukama
station it’s such a
huge the sign says bus terminal keep
going but I see a mall inside I don’t
want to go inside the
mall
oh boy where where should I go I don’t
need to go to the mall but the sign says
go there maybe I I go take the escalator
go
upstairs all right now I see bus a or
bus c not sure which one I should go
very
confusing okay I figured it out it’s
says bus number
eight that is the one that I’m going to
says go this
way all right it’s a lot of
information to uh to
read have to be very careful so I’m
going to follow the the red the red sign
bus
a it’s a quiet
adventure
to to navigate the uh the transportation
system here in Japan it takes a while to
get used to
it
2012
[Music]
n
[Music]
all right this is the name of
the place that I’m trying to go I don’t
know how to pronounce it to be quite
honest with you but now I need to pull
up Google Map and
see where I should should uh walk toward
that direction I know it’s going to be
about 5 minute walk from
here you know sometimes the best way to
find the place is just to
follow follow the crowd because I’m
pretty
sure everybody who got off the
bus is going to that beautiful uh
Garden
and because of the uh cherry blossom
season you will see uh you will see
these beautiful
trees and for some reason uh the the
season um arrived late uh this
year at the time I’m recording this
video is
a
April what is today I forgot uh today is
uh
April I don’t know it’s Sunday
April 9 or
something I forgot but anyway you got
the idea it’s a little bit late usually
uh the season arrives around uh
mid-march to late March but but I guess
I’m lucky the season uh was waiting for
me until uh I arrive in Japan
all right two more
minutes to get to the
[Applause]
place look at all these cars are lining
up and
uh and I guess I am already there there
is a fee to pay to get
in
there is a big
line to buy the to buy the
ticket all right I got the the ticket
for
900 900 yen
for one
person and it’s a little bit
uh crowded today because it’s
Sunday it’s April 7th today I just uh
pulled up uh my phone and I look at the
date it’s April 7th I said April 10th
earlier but I was wrong look at this
view isn’t that
something with the uh with the Pagoda
right there
so I’m going to try to find out if there
is a way actually to to go to that
beautiful Pagoda it reminds me of
uh my visit to
Kyoto a while
back the
uh the tallest Pagoda in
Japan is actually located
in in coyota
I’m not sure if that’s the the one in
Kyoto is actually the
tallest um Pagoda in the world or in
Japan I need to
uh fact check that uh
[Applause]
information and
uh I guess I’m lucky uh that the cherry
blossom
uh arrived late uh this this
year and I did notice most of the
visitors are actually local
people maybe because it’s uh
Sunday
um I can tell because they speak uh
Japanese especially the people who are
who were on the bus with
me so the bus ride took about took me
about
uh about half an hour from uh
yukoh
yukoh yukoh
station and I’m staying in an area
called uh Shin yukama which is a little
bit
uh I would say about uh 10minute uh
train ride from yukoh
station and
I decided to stay in that area in part
because I’m trying to avoid the uh the
tourist the crowded uh area in uh in
Tokyo Tokyo is very
packed and the prices are a little bit
inflated due to the high
demand and also I’m not uh into uh big
cities so Tokyo does not really uh does
not uh appeal to me because it’s a big
city huge so I always try to to stay in
uh in a small
towns that offers
nature trees and all that kind of stuff
as opposed to Modern
buildings but uh but I would go to Tokyo
anyway it’s not that far from my hotel
it’s about half an hour uh train train
ride or even
less
last time I stayed in
Tokyo at the heart of uh in the Heart of
the
City on my first visit
to to Japan I
stayed about uh right next to the Tokyo
uh train station very convenient uh
location I shared the uh I had a bunch
of videos of
Tokyo um from my last
visit oh boy I need I don’t want to
break their photo
opportunity so which way actually to go
to
the the
Pagoda but let’s go let’s go this
way and in case you are
are wondering what kind of
uh phone plan I
use uh for my data plan I I I should say
if you
are I’m not sure what country you from
but if you are from the
US and uh you want very high speed uh
data on your
phone and your phone is unlocked
then gets a get a esm card if your phone
is
uh is um can take esm
cards get uh an eim card
from a company
called so I’m going to tell you a trick
I mean a a tip keep that in
mind I’m not getting any I’m not getting
any commission or this video is not
sponsored unlike other videos where they
share the link they tell you buy this
buy
that so are you ready write it
down and you’re not going to find any
link that promote that company in my in
um in my videos so whatever I’m telling
you I’m telling you based on my
experience I get nothing out of it write
it down if you want very high speed in
Japan very high high speed um 5G Network
5G coverage and it’s even faster than
your your Wi-Fi at home in the United
States that will be a company called
ubigi I’m going to put the uh the uh the
description put it in the description so
you can uh you can get it that’s if you
visit
Japan I’m not sure how it works in other
countries but if you’re visiting Japan
then that is the company that you should
stick
with other people might tell you go with
that company with another company maybe
because they’re getting
commission but this company is good
because I use other esm cards and based
on my experience this is the best that I
have uh that I have uh that I’ve I’ve
used in the
past
yigi and the prices are very uh
affordable that’s if you uh let’s go uh
let’s go check it
out that’s if you have uh your phone is
unlocked that you own your
phone it’s not uh tied with your
uh homebased uh cell phone
plant
and turn off the
uh your uh cell data that comes with
your uh us uh plant because they’re
going to charge you a lot and even if
they don’t charge you if if it’s going
to be free it’s not going to be that
fastes in China it’s not going to be as
fast as the uh
ubigi uh esm card
what is going on
here I
could go inside but I’m not
sure I’m not sure I’m going to go inside
let’s go check out what’s going on right
[Music]
there they have
restrooms what a beautiful environment
to to uh wander around
and maybe I should go I should go
inside we will
do we’ll go inside let’s
[Music]
go
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
wow
heaven on
Earth it really
is there is a beautiful building up up
ahead and I think that is the main the
main
hall they don’t give
um guided
uh tour guide um a book or something
like that too or a
map I don’t think they have it that will
be helpful if
uh if I can grab a map and what is that
a tea house right there cafeteria and
the prices are not that bad you
look 1,300
Yen I think that would be about uh
$88 US
dollar and that will be what the main
hall right
there I’m still um going to try to find
out if I can get to the Pagoda right
there that will be the the main goal of
this visit and here is the main hall of
former
T tooi
Temple
[Music]
he
wow the view of the pagoda from this uh
spot is uh
amazing along with the all beautiful
cherry blossom
trees wow that will be a perfect uh
photo up for your
[Music]
[Music]
Instagram you see I can see a bunch of
people up
there but I don’t know where
to what’s the I don’t know where the the
path that will take me all the way
there we will find out we will get to it
maybe I should
go to the other
side there we go I found a way it’s
called three story
Pagoda right there and there is no
shortage of clean public uh
toilets almost every public toilet that
I used here is very very
clean
all right the
climb
starts right
here look look behind me isn’t that
something The
View amazing
view
I’m really tempted to just keep the
camera on because of all these amazing
views and I was actually trying to to
come here on on the weekdays not
weekends but
because the uh it’s going to rain
tomorrow and today is the only sunny day
that uh that uh for this week so we have
rain
uh coming
soon maybe sometime this week I said
let’s take advantage of this sunny day
and come
here I think I think this is the pagora
that I
am trying to uh to get
to right there you
see I think people come here for just
the the uh viewing uh
platform to capture this uh view right
behind me right
there and the hike
continues I’m not sure where it’s going
to take me to but uh it’s worth the
effort to go up there maybe I capture
beautiful a better view of the pagota
since I see since I see people going
that way maybe there is something to
check
out we will find out
soon there’s some kind of a tower
there viewing
[Applause]
platform I think that is
the summit that’s the highest point of
this
Garden
all right I got to the
top let’s see what I will
see oh yeah yeah
yeah not uh the kind of the view that I
am
expecting this does not uh it’s not
appealing to me but anyway you see maybe
it fits your uh your taste and we’re
close to the U it’s a
coastal city I think we’re close to the
ocean um
yukoh so let’s go let’s go
