e [Music] a [Music] [Applause] [Music] yo welcome to ninja monkey everyone I hope you’re having a great Sunday I am absolutely exhausted but hey I just wanted to remind you and that is that um if you have a question to ask me then @ ninjam monkey guy don’t forget or make sure that it’s clearly a question and that way um I will you will get my attention I will be giving priority to anybody who does a Super Chat anybody who’s a member or a patron obviously but I think I’m pretty good at trying to answer all of your questions if there a question question I will be I will be prioritizing uh um questions over any any any chit chatter if that makes any sense whatsoever is I’m just checking the volume is working but yeah so welcome welcome welcome everyone I hope that you’re all well if it’s Sunday or Monday wherever you may be I’m not very sure if it’s Sunday or Monday but um let’s get started first of all let me just um have a look around to see what’s going on I’ve just come back from the UK and I am absolutely exhausted I’ve had a little bit of a hellish flight I’ll explain a little bit later but basically a flight that was supposed to take 2 hours and whatever and 50 minutes took over six hours and I am exhausted so this is why I’ve um done the stream a little bit earlier normally my stream is about half an hour later but I don’t think I can I can stay up because I’m so tired anyway hello looking forward to this hey jacine how are you doing thanks for being here um hope we’ll we’ll slowly get to the to the um to the questions I am sure from London UK you know what I’ve just been in London literally this weekend I went to watch Spirited Away um it was awesome Bojo is here hey Bo Bojo how you doing doing rank hey rank how you doing awesome man with no life is also here okay Gallos first question of the night thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge about Japan I just heard that alori is a mast in the north what should I visit there thank you um I’m going to go one better I there’s two videos that I put out three videos I put out that mention or highlight Ali the first one is uh summer guide especially in the summer so um so check out the summer guide it goes into amori um also I go into a guide of matsis also and a tohoku guide basically an itinery nor Northern itinery so check that that out but basically if you can travel during the summer to alodi it’s a great place to go for the Matsui but um other than that it’s very famous for nature Wildlife some some um like hills and mountains around the area and it could potentially be an okay base to reach some some other areas especially if you have have a a car um but did I mention is famous for apples it is starting to try to plan a trip for later this year October November trying to coordinate with my friends yeah I mean the thing that I would say here Bojo is depending on your character um I’ve stopped like trying to coordinate with friends I obviously I try but um if for whatever reason it just doesn’t work then I just go on my own because can’t hold life for other people is it fun to do a cruise around Japan I’ve never done a cruise in my life um I don’t I’m not very sure if it’s going to be my sort of style of travel but um I know a lot of people who cruise and they absolutely love it um there are pros and cons I’m sure for for cruising for example there are time limits um I like exploring a place and being a little bit more flexible and and um seeing the day face of the city of the or the town and the night face of the city or the town so um with a Cru maybe you might have to be back at Port by a certain time but that’s not to say that it’s not going to be a very convenient way of traveling around Japan after all Japan is an island so hey Riv how you doing thanks for being here I am extremely tired so sorry guys I’m going to I’m going to go into my um my crazy trip today in a minute just don’t want to boy you can you talk about renting a car I was thinking about driving from Tokyo to kazawa with stops along the way thanks um I cannot because I haven’t rented a car yet but I know that Japan Japan Jaan has so maybe he can Japan Hol Japan holics have assembled indeed in fact I think I need to Coke but everyone who’s watching my name is Nathan ninja monkey I make content as a tourist I am a tourist I don’t live in Japan a lot of people think that I live in Japan I mean I understand why because I’m I I put content about Japan um throughout the year um but I don’t live in Japan I’m actually a tourist I’m pretty much like you guys the only difference is that I I’ve chosen to use my experience to put together this um hopefully what is a a valuable resource for tourists um trying to give you the insights from a tourist point of you rather than the many um Japan content creators who also bring value to the table obviously but live in Japan and I think that their take in Japan can sometimes be different obviously there are lots of things that we agree on but um I think that um the fact that I don’t live in Japan and I have to go through everything as a normal person as a as a as a tourist including going through immigration without a resident card or without a special card or whatever uh that that is is a plus so I just want to help you guys and if you have any questions hopefully my my experience traveling Japan throughout 10 10 years will be able to to help you but my aim is to help you plan I don’t specifically want to tell you what to do in Japan but I’d rather give you some ideas of how to plan your own Japan trip is Kyoto in October to crowded to enjoy or um or if there any alternatives you know interestingly um Daniel and I know that Caroline is in the house hello Caroline by the way I’ve just seen your message but Caroline had me thinking um about something I met up with her in London by chance not by chance I knew she was going to be in London and I sent her a message saying hey I’m in London and we just met up for a drink like a quite a short time like maybe two hours or something we’re together on Friday evening but um we’re having a little chat and the question to the to the answer to the question is that in most like the most likely thing is that it will be crowded but I think Kyoto is just going to be crowded all throughout any time of the year and um Sakura season in April is very crowded but also is Autumn foliage um time which could be October November is one of the most crowded um times to go now I think what Caroline said to me was that she she used Kobe as a base and I never really considered using Kobe as a as a base but it’s definitely a good thing to consider if you’re worried about being in a place with many many crowds you can use a place like KU which is um which is very close to Osaka and very close to Kyoto in a way to to um to go off me personally I just embrace the crowd and I already go with that mind mindset that is going to be crowded um as are many cities in the world and I can 100% say now after you know tra just coming back from London this weekend that Japan yes Japan um there’s a lot of talk about over tourism in Japan a lot of talk especially in the last year last few months there’s been crazy amount of talk about how you know like that Kyoto can’t cope BL etc etc etc which I’m sure is is true to you know and I’ve seen the increase of in tourist but after coming back from from from from London you know what Kyoto is nothing nothing compared to to what I experienced in London this this this weekend London was only tourists it was mad it was crazy it was horrendous um at least in in Japan you know like the um only a third of tourists or whatever are from the west but when you get like 95% of tourists going to to London who are from the west and they’re rude and they push you and they stink and they and they don’t get out of the way when you want to get out of the out of the Subway out of the out of the tube and you miss your stop because they’re in the way and they’re not getting out of the way or it’s just and it’s unsafe not unsafe but you have to be anyway the list just goes on and goes on and goes on it was just rivers and rivers and rivers and rivers of tourists in London this weekend um and I’ve seen this in every time I go to London but um but yeah like like I honestly feel that Japanese people need to explore other cities to read see what overtourism is like the real overtourism not just like crowds with a few people littering on the floor and then make people making a big deal because they’re lering on the floor anyway ranto I’m just really tired hey how you doing good evening everyone I said already hello to to Caroline yay I keep wanting to try one of the river Cruisers in Tokyo but haven’t gone through with it yet I mean you can use a river taxi to get from hamaru Gardens to Oda for example or from Asaka to hamaru Gardens that’s thata that’s a a really nice way of seeing Tokyo too and yeah I need my Coke Zero and I have my reusable this one of my favorite things that I’ve bought Reus reusable um straw the Silicon straw and it feels like plastic so I like it I’m going to add I’m I’m going to skip ahead I’ll get back to the question a minute but but Daniel seriously it’s all about perspective and and um and yes you know there are more crowds in in in Japan right now you cannot you cannot avoid that statement but let’s not pretend that it’s not happening everywhere at some other places around the world and they have it worse is what I’m saying um hey Texas mean the government for you made enough to to take some of it yes that’s basically mean Texas yes yes I I read Texas how long is the Yen projected to be weak how long is the piece of string it’s very weak right now isn’t it it’s quite it’s quite um epic to be honest that it’s so weak I just can’t I cannot um even imagine how long it’s going to be like this but um yeah I’m excited this week There’s always this crowd of spots to to visit indeed yes Kyoto is much as crowded at 5:00 a.m. 100% my next trip is so far away from from today summer or fall 2025 okay is say to hear about everyone’s else in the meantime planning for a trip to Kyoto and oaka cool awesome and let’s see hey [ __ ] how you doing yes we were adding to the tourists in London a little bit but we respectful tourists I just saw so many rude tourists in in um in London it was like an it wasn’t like Japan rude I’m sure like there are very rude tourists it wasn’t like Japan rude but but there was some times where I thought that um that would be an accident and somebody would be killed because they were like running onto the road crossing the street with no disregard pushing people out of the way you know to get to get across the street it was just [Music] horrendous hey Jacqueline question have you been to Nagasaki I have my daughter’s thinking about going to Nagasaki univ for a year and I was wondering if there was much to do in the region um you know Nagasaki is one of my favorite cities it’s kind of small but it’s got a really nice it it feels a little bit European in a in a strange way it’s got um um one it’s got a really interesting Cathedral a Roman Catholic cathedral in Nagasaki it’s got some um like Gardens that are that are like Victorian British um style Gardens and other than that the city itself is quite a pretty city it’s it’s quite quite not not a very very big city I mean it’s still big considering you know like Japanese cities [Music] are Nagasaki also has a really cute like um tram system and I think that you can get to many places from Nagasaki you can to fuka relatively easily and you can also um do unen onen which is one of my favorites hey we’ve got new members awesome thank you Jim gifted five new en monkey members thank you so much Jim Jim thanks don’t know why double double [Music] I thanks whoa does pass make sense for too a circuit um no I would probably say first of all I would say Daniel to use a a um J uh pass calculator um before before you even make a decision before even anybody says anything to you I think the most important thing about my channel is that I like to point people in the right direction rather than answer questions specifically with a yes or a no because there’s many things to to consider um how often you’re going to be traveling whether or not you’re going to decide to travel to other cities from from um Kyoto Osaka and Tokyo but as it stands at the moment as a as a stand alone like um traveling between Tokyo and Osaka and return it’s not really worth it and um Tokyo and sorry Kyoto and Osaka are very close together so so you don’t need the Jr pass for those for for that part of the trip monkey chores yeah oh my God it was crazy seriously Jim I mean I’ve come I’ve come in uh very tired so I’m I’m ranting a little bit more than normal 202 is1 it’s like a dream it’s like wake me up oh no don’t wake me up we’re having a drink and Nathan mentioned the Yen had dropped even more so I bought some more on the spot this is true we were having a drink and literally she bought some Yen on the spot whilst I was there having a drink with her anyone plan to Vis the Expo I don’t think I don’t know I haven’t decided yet apart from Universal Studios of Japan is there any other amusement park you recommend thank you um well I can probably answer the question in a few weeks time because I am actually very close to my next trip my next trip I think is 16 days away so just over to weeks um to go for my next trip I’ll be traveling for six weeks around Japan and I’ll be doing um Disney hopefully I’ll be doing a new area in Disney Fantasy Springs I’ll be doing the dribbly park and I’ll be doing Universal Studios so I’ll be in a much better um position I know that a lot of people like Fuji Q um theme park Fuji um Highland Highland is it called yeah Fuji Q that’s it Fuji Q thanks Jaan ja Jaan for that and thanks Caroline for also including some extra I mean I’m tired but I’m so freaking tired Jun Airlines before Chinese car yet no from where to where chat back in the clay in his Beach beaching it I see very nice enjoy your Beach your beach day by the way back in the clay I saw someone who went to fujiu there was a cheaper ride Fair after 2 p.m. um yeah that’s kind of common in a lot of um amusement parks so after a certain time entrance is is cheaper generally if there are tickets that’s a that’s a thing that even some places like maybe Universal Studios might have um might have like reduced um fair at certain at a certain time but but if there’s no tickets a available then what’s the point June fly from Europe to China and China to Japan very cheap prices from Manchester to Tokyo for example October ah yes um I know that viente does does some kind one of these cheap um one of these cheap Chinese Airlines I don’t know which one it is I don’t think it’s Jun Juno I think it’s um Japan yeah Japan something I can’t remember but he’s just used it right now chuck would you ever consider moving to Japan someday um I don’t think so I mean the way that things stand at the moment I think I have a good a good setup I mean that’s not to say that I wouldn’t like to do like a like a long-term shortterm like thing where maybe I spend six months to a year just just to see what it’s like um but at the moment I I I cannot complain with the setup that I have I get I can go to Japan every two months every 3 months and um one of my trips in Japan is quite long I could go for up to nearly eight weeks if I wanted to but I go for six just because I I I do not have the money to go for eight weeks basically but um but yeah I have a good setup I I’m going now in in 16 days time then um I’m going back in October end of October basically the very end of October until the second of um November I think it is and then I’m going for New Year’s um period from the 26th to the I don’t know the 8th of of January or the 7th of January something like that so I I have a few trips lined up I usually have a few trips lined up when I go to Japan ah China Eastern that’s it China Eastern is what she did what they did hello f up from Denver have you been to the Harry Potter attraction I haven’t been to the Harry Potter attraction um I do like Harry Potter but the way that I the reason why I haven’t been is because in London there’s the there’s the original Harry Potter attraction one of brothers and Harry Potter Studios which the one in in Japan is based on that in fact I think it’s even a replica of of that one um and I’ve from what I’ve heard the one in London is is better um so it’s it’s a difficult sell for me because I traveled I’ve just literally come from London today I’ve just been in London today U and I’ve just flown in back home but um it’s it’s a difficult sell for me because I think if I was to go to one of them I probably go to the one in London or the one in not the one in Japan but at the same time it’s the kind of thing that maybe I should go so that I can experience it so that when I have questions like this hey fam that from Denver have you been to the aort attraction I can actually answer the question six months would be amazing that way you can get a feel of how it really is there after the honeymoon period I think my honeymoon period is is well over now after 10 years of traveling to Japan and and um traveling to Japan four times three or four times a year um you know I think it’s a little bit over I still have Japan though Caroline is always ahead of the curve there’s been so many bad Japan travel videos lately makes me appreciate the quality of your content thank you though so I time people take one trip and present themselves as an authority other videos seem AI generated thank you so much Bojo I appreciate that a lot I put a lot of a lot of research I think I mean I know what my pitfalls are in my videos I know what what would improve the presentation of my videos and that is storytelling I’m not a very good Storyteller it’s just I find it hard to to to storytelling that what I do well is I’m I’m good at um presenting information and that’s what I do quite well I hope in my in my videos um putting together information in an easy to hopefully easy to understand um way and I am working on my on my um on my storytelling like style to make my videos a little bit more interesting but I find it hard I’m not going to lie I find it hard but yeah I I guess that is true there’s a lot of people that go to Japan and um and they’re making content but you know what at the same time people have to start somewhere and um if you go back to my original catalog of videos don’t go back to my original catalog of videos you will see some very very cringy um videos from when I went to Japan the very first few years uh everybody B everybody needs to start somewhere and it’s their right I think to to um to make content YouTube is for everyone they can’t just be one YouTuber that makes content from Japan you know like and that’s the the the sooner the the sooner that I made that realization not that I’ve ever had any problems really but the I made that realization that really you know everybody’s entitled to make content and everybody and everybody um is entitled to go to to Japan and make content and um I just try to make sure that my content quality is better than everybody else’s if I can Within my budget and the equipment that I have if that makes any sense thank you I appreciate that that that means a lot to me hey Tommy how you doing o onen nice thank you dude narrative is great bass is so practical use information there’s a lot like that now Facebook is also a was with AI Japan content it’s a nightmare and yeah like I think when it comes to YouTube there’s two things that you need um you need to have a strategy and you need a plan no and you need to have quality and um and I hopefully have quality most most of the time anyway and uh I do have a strategy my strategy isn’t to go viral and to make viral videos my strategy is to put out good quality informative videos that can live on YouTube for a long time and hopefully in you know with months and months and months they will get the views that they deserve rather than making a video that’s going to get a million views in a week and then die off you know like I want my my videos to be um valuable you know for for the viewer your delivery is very authentic so I always listen to you just be you thank you so much I try although today I feel like a shell of myself and I I I’ll give you a little bit of a of a rundown on my day today just uh pause you can carry on writing your questions and your statements about Japan but um I’ll give you a little bit of a of a um of my day so I was flying British Airways ba 490 if anybody wants to check it out I I think it was 490 ba 490 from London he to jalter where I live and the flight was supposed to take off at 10 past 11: in the morning and I was at the airport from I don’t know4 to 10 I would say I was yeah probably 9 no I was at the airport at 99 I was at the airport at 9 um because I was a little bit worried about security because he FR kind to be but security was fine it took like 15 minutes and uh everything was going so smooth it was like perfect the flight wasn’t was on time the gate number was presented and um and we all we all went um you know through our boarding boarding um numbers and we were sitting on the flight and everything was going perfect in fact you know when they say like boarding complete you know when they say boarding complete on the on the flight it’s like yes you’re going cuz it’s boarding complete right so um we’re sitting there 10 minutes go by nothing 15 minutes go by 20 minutes go by nothing we’re still sitting on the tarmac basically on the on the on the thing and then the pilot says um I’m sorry to to inform you that um there’s been some noticeable damage on the door of or something or somewhere of the of the airplane and um therefore it’s been assessed by some technicians who are taking photos who will come back to us whether or not the plane is safe to fly or not safe to fly um so he says that’s going to take a little bit of time um and for now you just have to wait bear in mind that we’ve already been a little bit of time waiting by this time obviously when that happens a few things go through your mind like um like that’s a little bit worrying like oh my God anyway so half an hour later after that maybe 4 2 minutes later the pilot comes back and says unfortunately the the plane has de has been deemed unsafe to to fly with so we’re trying to find you and another plane bear in mind that we’re already sitting on the plane and we’d already been on the plane by this stage for 40 minutes I I’m guessing um and and so yeah so so then obviously um the the pilot says we don’t know when we’re going to get you a a flight um hopefully we will be able to get you to jalta before the end of the day etc etc etc and then he says we’ve got good news we’ve we’ve got a a plane that’s coming in in the next hour from Valencia and when you’re going to we’re going to be using that plane to get back back to Jola which okay fair enough not too bad considering except for there was a another plane in the gate of the plane that that we were going to be using so we couldn’t get off the plane until that the people had boarded the plane that was the American Airlines plane that was leaving so that took another half an hour by this time we’re already we’re still in the plane we’re still sitting on the plane eventually we get off the plane and we have to go we we’re waiting an hour or longer than an hour for the next play for the next plane new gate and everything you know by now it’s like already been like two and a half hours or whatever like since we were already be supposed to take off um finally the plane comes and we have to do the whole the whole um like um like like going through through not checking but going through the the gate all over again show a Passport line up queue up and wait to board the plane we board the plane and we’re sitting on the plane for 20 minutes or so and the captain says unfortunately due to some um restrictions of of flying over the over Spain um we’ve been given a a takeoff slot in an hour’s time bear in mind that we’re on the plane and we this is the second plane that we’ve been on um and anyway you can see where where the story is going it was a little bit crazy so basically I spent about 6 hours sitting on a plane or two different planes for what was actually a 2hour and 20 minute flight um and the crazy thing is that I’m entitled to compensation if my flight is 3 hours late after arrival but they did everything everything I think anyway on on their and on their in the power to get us back back before the 3 hours I’ve never been on a flight from London to jabola that was so fast two 2 and a half hours or something like very very fast flight to to jalter usually it’s nearly 3 hours to get to jalter from London and um and we got there with 8 minutes to spare before the 3our mark and the compensation would have been 78 350 something like that per person so anyway that’s to I I was going to say cat uh long story short but I think I giving you the long version and I’m sorry if I Bor if I’ve bored if I’ve Bor bored you if I’ve made you bored with that information but that’s been my day so far for anyone who was wondering why is ninja monkey looking so tired why is ninja monkey so grumpy why is ninja monkey so negative Jim you cannot post links on here unfortunately um I apologize it’s just one of the one of the rules of of the bot that that um that that basically anyway let’s get back to the thing you do a good job thank you okay this is not a worship ninja Monkey video so let’s move away from the you do nice content I try my best I appreciate appreciate your comments okay Ethan Nathan is fine last Sunday you mentioned something about a potential ninja monkey um stroll close to Halloween any news on that as mentioned last Sunday I will also be in Tokyo that date um I will be in Tokyo between the 27th of um of I I leave on the 26th of October and I leave leave back on the 2nd of November so I will be around that time now the question is will I be doing a Meetup I’m not very sure I think that I need to plan that when I get back from this trip that I still haven’t gone on which is my big trip in in six weeks I would like to probably would not be on I want to make it very clear it would most likely not be on Halloween um because when I when if I’m going to be doing any any thing on Halloween I’m going to be filming um I’m going to be making content so the likelihood is that I will not be free to do anything with anyone other than anybody who’s also making content um on Halloween so but I have days to work around with and hopefully we can do something delays after everyone already is backed in and ready to go are probably the most frustrating crazy right what was a playing from boing I don’t I don’t know B 490 it’s a what what flight what plane was it it was a was it a Boeing how do you find out it was a Boeing or not air bus it was an air bus so no no no I I hardly fly Boe planes to be honest most of them are a you have helped me plan my trip to Japan the advice you have shared is a truly trust resource thank you so much thank you I appreciate that this sound like one of those flights where everyone collaps when you find actually know oh and I and I and I and I um also missed out another important thing take into account that that that um because it was an 11:00 a.m. flight the original flight was 11:00 a.m. flight and I was landing at 300 p.m. in jalter or supposed to I hadn’t had nobody had really eaten anything and um after two hours delay you’re entitled they’re supposed to give you food and a drink which they didn’t and by the time because I was sitting at the back of the plane by the time the trolley came to us there was no food left so not happy not happy at all a PL Bound for Noah indeed jet lag in a different way in a different type of jet leg don’t forget to hit the like button yes by the way guys if you’re not if you’re watching this and you’re not subscribed I’m actually very close to 30,000 I’m like maybe seven people away from 30k so please help um subscribe to ninja monkey and I also have a second Channel called happy gin if you’re interested check that one out too good story you’re pretty good at storytelling maybe that that type of Storytelling but not not when I’m making Japan content for some reason when I’m in in when I’m trying to to um what I what I mean by storytelling isn’t that kind of thing it’s more like um making making things flow from one thing to I don’t know yeah I don’t know what happened there Jim I have no idea makaka Tokyo in October seems nice hey is in the house but I need to be with my city relatives in Shinjuku toada and his relatives and his stories question what was so special about Spirit of the way in London the spirit that’s a good question you know what it was there’s many things that were very special about um Spirit of the way in London firstly I was meeting up with some good friends of mine so that was already like a a a bonus you know when you do something with with people that you that you like to hang out with um but I think the spirit of way Spirit of the way is one of my favorite studio jibli um movies to begin with amongst one of my favorites anyway and I wouldn’t say that I’m a I wouldn’t say I am a huge Studio drii fan like some people are like obsessed with Studio jii like I like I could name you three two or three films from suju jii that I that I like quite a bit and one of them is Spirited Away and um I went to see tooro in the in London last year and that blew me away um and that I did by little bit by chance to be honest it wasn’t expecting I wasn’t planning on going or I didn’t think I would want to watch too in the in the theater but I went and it blew me away was so good so when I heard that they were doing uh Spirited Away and and I don’t know if anybody’s watched them movie there there’s there are so many scenes that are just incomprehensible like how enough are they going to be able to to do certain things like in the theater right so I had many question questions it was very good it was very very good it was very very very interesting very good very well put together really cool hey I’m rer wow it’s been a long time since when is Japan going to open rder no what’s the longest you stayed in an airport for a layover I’ve seen some flights with a 10hour layover for sale um I’ve stayed in L layovers with 17h hour layovers but I’ve always got a hotel I think that if it’s anything that is um less than 8 hours I will probably be happy to sit in an airport and and make time anything more than 8 hours and I depending on the time of the day obviously um I would probably try and get a a room in a hotel or I’d like to or probably I would like to get out and see somewhere um there’s a lot of flights that I do that are overnight lay layovers where maybe I land in London for example at 6:00 p.m. and the flight takes off the following day at 7:00 a.m. or 8:00 a.m. or whatever um and and those flights obviously you know it’s it’s um it’s just an old it’s an oldb brainer to to do a layover a stay over layover um I guess it just depends I mean I’ve been looking at um there was some flights that I was looking at with with 10hour layovers or similar in Helsinki and I was thinking of actually going out and exploring Helsinki a little bit um a lot of um the only issue is with that is that you know it is obviously always a risk but with 10 hours you probably have plenty of time to at least go out and spend you know two or 3 hours max out of the airport where’s the equivalent city like Hollywood in Japan um well I’m not very sure Hollywood is a city to begin with I think Hollywood is an is is an area um of California I I think am I right I’m you Americans there know better than me but um what will be the equivalent I really don’t know probably somewhere in Tokyo I would like to SP Spirit it away but I know the story behind it so I don’t think I would like it you don’t like the story did you not like the story of um Spirit of the way I think the story of spirit of the way is is very very powerful actually very powerful oh I would never go go into Paris there is no way even within 11h hour layover that I would leave the airport to go to Paris that would be for me like an anxiety driven nightmare like no way for stories maybe you will like gotya kaidan it’s very important I think Su is okay but the music of asashi Joe is so beautiful thank you you you’ve mentioned this a few times now to I do take note of your of your of your comments it’s a great movie yeah yeah I mean every now and then I get a a relatively cheap flight through Char too airport um with a relatively um short layover one and a half hours and I’m like no way like no it’s not going to happen and I don’t even consider the those um those um flights have you you seen services in Japan be slower because of influx of tourists um I don’t think services in Japan are slower I mean the only thing that will be slower is probably that there might be a little bit more of a line but I think that that Japan is always very good at at the service you know once you get to the place you’ll be fine you think Tokyo is Hollywood 10hour stop in Shanghai so could get the the magev to the city I’ve never been to China um yeah and the really cool thing and Japan Japan ban is that um you can get a 24-hour Visa like a transit Visa for for China China is actually a really difficult um country to get visas for as far as I’m aware so um but but you can get the 24hour transit V visa and that will give you access to go into the city def on Netflix is good too yes by the way depends ITB when it comes to um going to to China or staying in an in a airport for 10 hours if it’s 10 hours it does depend on the time of the day that you arriving in the country obviously um if it it just depends on the time of the day whether or not it’s worth it mag I I know I I knew you meant that oh la that’s it Los Angeles not to Japan but flying to frankf Fort next man for 3 weeks in Europe now have to rent a cut where where is your plan where are you going around Europe by the way I had 24-hour lay over in Hawaii which was beautiful and on my way back to California nice I’ve seen a 24hour Transit VI that looks interesting yeah um I know quite a few people that use it because it’s difficult to get into Japan and into China sorry I mean so for China am an engineer so I can get a Visa ooh but my girlfriend is too traditional Japanese and doesn’t want to visit well just go without your your your girlfriend guys it’s mosquito season I am being e eaten alive right now by mosquitoes when I finish the stream I am going to put like mosquito spray everywhere boy oh boy are the mosquito eating me up and it’s nearly time for me to pack the we only have I’m going to give you all a warning only two more live streams on ninja monkey before I’m in Japan and then I will be live streaming mostly on Happy gin but I will try to stream on ninja monkey also at least once a week to keep things going probably on the same day if I can it’s so hot I swear what is the temperature currently oh it’s 22° not too bad if it feel was really hot it was 27° today here in jolta so hey maybe I can show you see if I can show you Jaan thank you so much hey Caroline got a membership awesome let’s see I took a really really [Music] cool can I find it can I share it thank you JJ I hold on let me just let me add [Music] you you sort of like sort of like don’t fit oh let me do it’s okay Japan Japan itchy Japan Japan itchy kind of funny ah I am so going to have an early night [Music] tonight does it rain in the suon plan I want to go next year to clim and Fuji and the answer is yes um you can pretty much guarantee some rain during the summer in Japan for various reasons either you get the tail end of the of the rainy season and the rainy season has been delayed for by about two weeks and we don’t quite know whether or not it’s going to end later or it’s going to end at the same time but um the rainy season normally ends towards the middle end of July so there will be some some you know it heads from from the south north so um if you if you’re starting in Tokyo instead of going south you you you will go be going against it so it might you might not get too much of it um but with the rainy season there are days where it rains days when it doesn’t rain days where it rains a little bit days where it rains freaking the whole day but um other than that during the summer it’s very hot and humid it can be very sunny but there can also be um typhoons and when the typhoon it rains for one or two days so it’s it’s just one of those one of those Hit or Miss sort of things what neighborhood would you choose for a first week in Tokyo not a nightlife guy um eneno watch my eneno video I love eneno okay let’s see I want to show you something pretty cool if it lets me watch it so this is my oh why is it sideways hold on let me pause it this is my takeoff how can I oh like this okay that Thank You

mean do your research though Daniel watch watch my video on weno and see if you like if you like the vibe but there’s so many places you could stay I personally don’t like shinal I find it it’s a little bit out of the way for me personally um but I know that loads of people do like shinagawa but for me it it’s it’s a Concrete Jungle with very little um with very little like anything pretty cool HH so cool taking off from jol to look at all the freshly reclaimed land indeed yes we could we couldn’t hear what you were saying Ethan the J video was Mega loud oh sorry sorry I didn’t know that there was even any audio I was just saying that that’s where I live I live in JTA for anybody who’s wondering that’s my my um that’s where I live basically looks like zosima yeah so that’s a famous rock of jolter for anybody who who was wondering so tired I have a few I have a few videos on the in the works um looking forward to sharing them with you so yeah my aim is to have a few videos scheduled whilst I’m in Japan so that there’s nothing you know on the channel so at least one every two weeks hope hopefully I can put out one every two weeks scheduled um um if last case scenario like I can put out one every 3 weeks so there’s something going on on the channel so I’ve been working on it and I’ve been very very productive very productive I’ve already got one full fully edited one and I’ve got another one that’s half edited and I’ve got another one that’s that’s filmed but isn’t edited so I have three um pretty much um videos that I’m working on right now and those will definitely be ready for for the for the um for the trip before I go how long I go now I have two weeks and a bit 16 days 16 days dudes I can’t wait I can’t wait I’m looking forward to to it I’m looking forward to all sorts of things Nathan is really in sales for prenti insurance pretty much howdy Nathan and crew curious where would you your yearly travels take you if Japan were off the table I think that if Japan were off the table and and um and I’ve been thinking about this for next year actually not that Japan will be off the tables but um but usually in the past what I used to do is I used to do Japan and I used to use Japan like as a as a platform to travel elsewhere and I would like to do um Singapore and Bal I think there’s plenty of places I to I like to go to Singapore I like to go to Bali I’d like to go to um Taiwan also I’d actually like to go to China if I can make that happen um I like to also go to potentially Australia New Zealand um so yeah there’s loads of loads of opportunities and things that I wouldn’t mind doing start working on your shopping list or worry about your suitcase is what I’m going to say South Korea Taiwan Singapore you see Japan Japes Jaan has we we we are like we’re like brothers think similar yep that’s a famous rock where the monkeys live that’s why I call I’m called ninja monkey takarazuka I’ll check it out I will check it out I have never been to Malaysia I mean I wouldn’t mind going to the Philippines either Malaysia the Philippines there’s so much that I could do from from Japan in the past I’ve did I’ve done like two weeks in Japan and then I’ve flown from Japan to um to Korea and I spent like 10 days in Korea and then I flown back for another week in Japan I’ve done something similar where I’ve spent two weeks in Japan and then I flown to Thailand for 10 days and then I flown back to Japan for for another 10 days before returning home I’ve done a similar thing um where I went to Vietnam and Cambodia and I pretty much did the same thing so I’d like to do something like that in the future I think you almost austral New Zealand you see I’ve Got a Feeling though Japan man that that um I don’t know why but I have a feeling that um when your kids are a little bit older and you have a little bit more freedom that’s probably when you’re looking at doing those those um those places and maybe we can do it together at that point Taiwan Singapore Malaysia awesome yeah all amazing places Jeff how you doing went to China 2018 it was wonderful yeah I I really do I am interested in in exploring other places other than than um Japan but um I still I like Japan a lot so I mean you know what um I’ve heard this before to I’ve heard how how incredibly beautiful um China is compared to Japan and considering the vastness of the continent well of the of the of the country not the continent the country that is China and how much there is to see I’m not surprised you know the kids are also have used to longer flights I see if you come to I have to show you around yes please please indeed this is a really that’s a cool thing about um about YouTube I think um that I have all these opportunities to meet people and to go to places and being showing around and like it’s yeah it’s really cool so I appreciate that the connections that that are made like that that way guys I am going to end the stream in
