I Visited the Side of Japan No One Shows You 🇯🇵| Hidden Life in Numazu

So, I’m going to try this. Kim, Kim, everyone dreams of Osaka, 
Tokyo, but this this is the Japan no one really shows you. A small fishing town 
where life moves slow, the food is fresh, and every face has its own story. Welcome 
to Numazu, the Japan that still feels real. Numazu is a small fishing town known for its 
you know fishing port and its stunning view of the Mount Fuji. So I decided to move away or 
get away from the city life and see how locals spend their day, what they eat, and how life 
is here for the locals in this small fishing town. So you’re welcome. And if you’re new, you

But meeting the lady and the guy from the same country in Nepal, you know, I’m impressed. 
I mean, to see foreigners here. Yeah. Yeah. So, my next stop is going to be this spot right here. 
Here you get a chance to choose what you want to eat, you know. Then you can get a place, you 
get a place or a plate like a heating pot to, you know, boil or heat or, you know, 
toast. like in a barbecue style. So, we’re going inside to see if I can, you know, get 
some fresh fish and you get a plate like this, hot pot or hot plate like this and, you know, heat 
it up. You have so many kinds of fish here like this. Yeah. Look at this fish here. Very big. And 
this red fish. Wow, this look very delicious. Wow, there’s a lot of fish here to choose. Look at the Y there. Wow. Wow, you guys. All right. Yeah. So, she’s going to show me cuz 
all of them say a andro. Yeah. So, I want her to show me which one is the 
most delicious here. Sashio. Tachi. Wow. Wow. guys. Like the people here 
are so different. I don’t know. Guys, the feeling, the vibe they giving me here 
is, you know, really crazy and I’m loving it. I feel like moving here, you know, to stay here and 
maybe probably work with them. Wow, look at this. Fresh, fresh, fresh fish. Wow. So, I think it’s time to, you know, choose and 
try some of the, you know, food here. Yeah. You can’t come to Numazu without, you know, visiting the fish market. And here you get 
the chance to, you know, choose whatever you want to eat and just put it on the fire here. 
Then grill it so that you can, you know, eat. Look at how yummy the fish is. Man, I can’t wait. This is really good. Wow. I don’t really know the 
name of this fish, but trust me, it’s really tasty. So this is how the locals here celebrate 
their I mean or spend their Sunday. Yeah. You see families, you know, you see kids 
with their mom, dad here at the fish market, trying and enjoying their Sunday. They’re not in a rush. Just a normal Sunday 
for them here. Unlike the big cities, you know, you have to, you know, like if 
you go to a lime, you have to eat fast, leave for the next one to come in. But here, you 
know, there’s two families here, mine and over there enjoying the food and it’s really You 
also have this on the fire right now. Yeah. And the place is also getting busy. 
You see people coming inside know I think most of them are here to buy it and 
take it home so that they can you know Right. So the moment the moment I’m waiting for 
is when this here, you know, starts to explode. Yeah. So I’m 
just waiting for it to explode. Look at how big and sweaty it is. Wow, guys. This looks very yummy. He’s the next one. Get your hands. That’s it. Right. Moments like this makes me feel Japan 
is not all about the big cities, you know. It’s about the people just like here is the people that keeps you 
know this town running and alive all the time. Look at how busy a Sunday morning in a fishing 
village or town in Japan looks like. You know, just a whole world different vibe 
all together. Yeah. Cuz I met I met an old fisherman who told me the 
sea gives and also teaches patience. It really hit me because we’re in a world where 
everything is moving so fast. But here in Numazu, it teaches you to be patient. You know, move slow, 
take one step at a time and enjoy life. I really enjoyed the conversation with this Oldman 
moment like this. It’s a whole vibe on real mind you there are no tourists here. 
The place is not crowded like Tokyo. It’s just the locals enjoying a Sunday 
morning. It’s just 10:42 a.m. here. You see, look at how busy it is here. Look at how 
this place families over there enjoying you know the people enjoying 
a very lovely Sunday morning. Wow, nice. Can you imagine? I drove 30 minutes to see 
the Mount Fuji. But today is very cloudy, so there’s no way you can, you know, see the 
mountain. Hello. Hello. Hello. Wow. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Uh, yeah. So you know 
this bridge will take you up there so that you can get the beautiful view of the mount Fujiba. Today 
is very cloudy so I don’t know if we can see the mountain but look at the view here from this side 
and you can also see some buildings over there. They have this security and other girls. I 
think they are foreigners. Yeah. And I don’t know where they are from. Oh guys, you cannot 
see the mountain Fuji. I think it’s over there, right? But this is really bad. This is really 
bad. But it’s all good. It’s good. I came here. So if you’re planning on visiting Shizoka or 
Numazu, you can pass through here. There’s a free parking as well. You can just park your 
car and come here. You can see the beautiful view of the mountain. Yeah. But since 
it’s cloudy, you can’t see the mountain there. And they also have some mountain 
views here, too. Yeah. Yeah, guys. So, I didn’t get to see the almighty 
Mount Fuji. Yeah. But this, you know, place looks amazing. Yeah. They also have some 
people taking pictures here. Yeah. Yeah, guys. So, this will be the end of today’s vlog. If
