all right Chad so this is the six Jiza which is the Roku Jizo and Jizo Bat Bosatu are very popular among Japanese people they are protectors of the next six realms all souls must transmigrate through the realms until they attain enlightenment and each of the protectors each of these gizo protects one realm each the realms are hell hungry ghosts animals asuda I know what that means humans and heavenly beings cool
so it’s like a next life thing
yeah i guess when you die you go through all the six realms to reach enlightenment okay okay i think so
so you can have the next life
i think so
oh got it
go through the six room
some like that yes well so pretty here look at this look at this Chad hey you can do your wedding ceremony here that’s crazy that’s crazy Chad this wedding ceremony here clouds and everything

crate time chat some W’s in the chat for the shrine you can drink this or just wash your face wait that one is water you can drink I think no it says drinking water no
oh drinking water no drinking water damn it oh doggies are allowed to go here that’s so nice all right chat the holy freaking shine is here i think this is the main thing that you can come here and then page get some light up some incense page whatever you want to page but um so shine means
a temple this is a temple it’s in
sh means like a temple yeah I mean well shine is not same as temple uh a lot of temples will have shrines
but not all shrines have temples i think because temple is like specifically this temple the big place to go pray and do everything but you can also create a shrine
this is called the good uh good light temple
look at all the save points the little lights
yeah save point green mountain
green green mountain a huge freaking
Wait what is that one can we go what the hell is
Yeah you can you can walk up there
this is a nice walk don’t you think
what is that called yeah this is really nice deep breath here is good what is this one coming of age i think people just like they just do something here to pray maybe like before their their marriage and stuff like all the big things they can come here and pray before the big things happening
yep that sounds right hey I like this sound it feels so peaceful yo Chad I’m starting i’m thinking it i’m thinking it i’m thinking it temples over shrines i’m saying it i just said it

oh I see it
bell boy
bridge holy

it’s Japanese wrestling group maybe oh but why is wearing that group before saying something about foreigners
oh [ __ ] i think so they’re going to beat you up i’m just kidding i’m just kidding am I the enemy right now
you’re the enemy
are they the enemy
no oh they’re coming for you Jake i don’t know what they said but it’s kind of cute that was the mayor huh wait really

the fun is going to continue there you go wa guys remember chat if we hit 250 subs today water’s going to eat a horse
horse sashimi looks I don’t know i’m a little scared i’m a little scared actually matsumoto station
this is how you get the vibes of the city you go to the main station in a city and that’s how you get the understanding what the city’s like oh McDonald what I need so quick tip jake’s travel tips of the day whenever you’re traveling in Japan to small mediumsized cities one of the best ways to get a good feel of cities is get to the main station here at Matsumoto station take a look behind me oh yeah look at that
i think it only works in Japan
yeah yeah
yeah this tip cuz in other countries it doesn’t work like that
yeah in Japan cuz a lot of stuff is situated around the major stations and you can tell a lot about the city by the station for example Nagano station how was that today
well developed fresh there’s a mall multiple levels matsumoto three levels it’s pretty simple but it has all the necessities around and a cool network of fun little streets hanging out
the restaurant yeah Chad noted noted
noted i’m digging Matsumoto i’m digging this road trip this road trip countersteo just gifted 100 water bottles

yeah I ate this at a really at a really shitty part
i’m sorry horse i got to eat you today eat it eat it this is very lean meat
this one really lean there’s a fat like fat type little fat and then this is another one
that one has like looks like some fat around it
this I think it has like a little bit fatness around it
anyways it’s three types of horse sushi
three
which is famous
i need to take a picture
wasabi n wasabi n garlic garlic and um Oh my horseradish
ginger ah ginger ginger i’m sorry
maybe you can do the example
okay yeah
all right a little bit of soy sauce and then grab the meat
grab the meat and then put it there get some
a little bit of ginger
ginger i will get a lot of ginger
little bit of garlic whoa little bit of soy sauce i feel he hates it
it’s like a
You like it
tashimi doesn’t taste like horse wait can I show them a a picture real quick
delicious
delicious oh okay today all with the basi horse sesame
in masamoto
raw horse meat basically has like three different types and I’m going to just try this like looking like more tender
yeah no this is the more tender that will be more That’s lean meat
i’m sorry horse
copy the copy the
Sorry horse and then little bit of ginger
ginger garlic garlic
i’m going to get a lot of garlic
oh too much too much ginger
i love ginger okay like that and then make them together
yeah sounds good a little bit of soy sauce
sauce oh my god
oh my god i don’t know i’ve never heard i’m so sorry horse
you like it
you like it tell her i think she’s going to like it just don’t think about the Inner Mongolian horses in the
What the hell did you chew it
it tastes like chicken oh try the next one all right let’s try the next one all right Chad this is all raw okay this is all freaking raw right here actually this combo looks good but this combo looks good but um this is like more tender meat tender meat [Music] in the arms of this corner better or worse [Music] this is very chewy more chewy but still pretty tender
which one do you like more [Music] [Music] just don’t think about that picture [Music] oh this one with the fat
yeah it’s a fatty one maybe for the rib
holy it’s all the similar
it doesn’t really smell anything for the most chewy one
chewy cuz of the fat probably yeah
which we Oh I guess it’s unccooked it’s not marbled fat it’s like thick fat definitely very chewy this one is hard to chew or chewy chewy
chewy chewy
so what’s your favorite one out of all these
i think the first one
really all right Chad
you have a problem i’m paying it forward right now because I know someone in the chat will get 100 subs actually this piece is not gonna be that bad but oi it’s not bad
it’s actually doesn’t taste any like bad gy or any
It doesn’t taste bad at all it’s just
Yeah it’s just like
it’s basically like raw beef i’m not going to lie i had a pork sushimi once seven years ago and it was at a randomiz that just had it on the menu and it was served like those really dark breads on a plate and it was not good
this might be much better
way better than that this is like eating raw beef
but it doesn’t really have any like flavor
yeah there’s no specific horsy flavor
yeah there’s not much taste of it so
it just tastes like a red meat so
when we’re eating this by the way like this is like a norm in Japan so it’s kind of fun to explore other uh norms and heat cultures especially this area it’s very normal so for us to be able to explore it’s kind of interesting to try this generally I’ll just get regular sushi but
Oh it’s way better
but it’s fun to be able to try this type of stuff is it more or less expensive
i think it’s a higher price but it’s not too bad i think this this is 2,00 maybe around 2,400 250 so which is what 15
15 bucks yeah
so it’s not too bad of the price of those meat
take care guys have a good one
guys thanks for coming to day five of the road tripon [Music]

We rented a car in Japan and exploring the regions around Tokyo – today is day 5 of our road trip. We’re starting in Nagano and from there we’re going to Matsumoto, checking out the castle, a wasabi farm and afterwards we’re headed to Kawaguchiko.
