I spent five days travelling from Tokyo to Osaka on Japan’s local trains.
Instead of taking the Shinkansen (the bullet train), I’m taking the slow route through the Japanese countryside, stopping in small towns and finding out what budget travel in Japan actually looks like.

Comfy.
I was hesitant to watch this video because it is so long, but I just watched the whole thing and never got bored, and honestly it made me want to go to Japan more than ever before. ❤ Though for YouTube reasons, I would still split a video like this into 2 parts. Also, without offense, can I ask what is the condition of your legs? Your right leg in particular was giving me anxiety while watching you walk. 😅
Imagine still giving a shit about football in 2026. that shit is boring to watch. All the commercials just ruined the game
11:37 music is fire
Congrats man! Seriously, your content is so good! always interesting, genuine and really enjoyable to watch. Keep it coming 👏
One day I hope to go to Japan until then I enjoy the video. Keep it up. 👍
日本人より知識が深く素晴らしいですね🎉動画を見ていて旅に出たくなりました✨
Do you have a crypto wallet for donations? Don't want to give patreon or j-wtube anything. You've made some of my favorite videos to watch. I really liked your patreon video in the woods, it's too bad youtube doesn't promote anything high effort.
Now this is my kind of trip fk tokyo. I cant wait to go out and just get lost and struggle with my bad japanese.
34:25 Fläsä!
Videot on heti nextillä levelillä kun osaa kieltä ja tietää kulttuurista. Näitä lisää!
I thought you were lucky to attend such an event randomly, but the real winners are us, because we got this video, we eatin good today
Lisää Paahtis lisääää! Tätä oli kiva kattella, terveiset Porista 🙂
Paahtis, thank you so much for making this video.
I’m currently back home after spending four weeks in Japan, and I’m already really missing the vibes that Japan offered. Your videos and content style somehow take me right back there — it feels like I’m walking the streets late at night with a friend.
Your videography and editing style are perfectly paced and grounded in a special feeling that really reflects the reality of everyday life in Japan. There’s something very genuine about the way you capture these moments.
This video is by far my favorite so far. And at 11:45 the random dog helping to push the float was such a wholesome moment. 😂❤️
Best regards from Sweden! 🇸🇪 And please, never give up on making YouTube videos. Me and so many others will keep supporting you until the algorithm finally picks up your channel and gives you the views and recognition you deserve.
Keep going — your work is appreciated more than you probably realize!
Cancel my plans, put the cat in the freezer, divorce my wife, sell the house, Paahtis dropped a BANGER
Cool vid man, cheers
Looks like a good adventure
Making a sandwich listening
Truly a man of culture 👏
Atami looks great! I always see it from the Shinkansen and think about going there but never have
Keep up the long videos Dude. 🎉🎉🎉
Only curry I don't like is Thai green curry
Never understood that stuff
Those container rooms look similar what Markus Kiili (in Youtube) is using while bicycling through Japan.
This was such a fun video and your style has clearly reached next level
Kiitos!
Gimme that kfc burger omg
1:06:53 ”Meillä on jo Chris Broad kotona”
I am so happy to see a new video…. Your content is always so wonderful…. Its also great to hear you speak Japanese, I think the best reason to learn Japanese is to able to speak to grandmas in small resturants🙂… Thank you for being awesome.
I have really enjoyed this video, thank you
One of your best videos and probably my favorite piece of content I watched this year. Love this style of video showing the countryside and the food and even though you joke about it (Temu AiJ 😂) You really are getting very good at both presenting and storytelling.
It all felt very organic and really reminded me of the first (and best) Journey Across Japan series. Keep it up!
1:22:16 bro is larping the bacon outfit
I'm 15 mins in, very entertaining so far!
love the vibes of Japanese Festivals, I hope I can someday experience one in person
Gonna have to watch this in chunks as I don't have 1.5h to spare rn, I actually should already be sleeping to get my 8 hours ahaha
Ei vittu Niilo 😅
Just wanted to say I really enjoyed watching this last night. The weird fish selling culture, the actual semi-original looking castle, and the shots of bugs/wildlife/nature were my favorites.
I can also say some of those trains had sick 90's style cloth seats. So nostalgic.
Thanks so much for taking us on the journey!
are you chris broads doppelgänger?
43:10 This is a very rare section where a passenger ferry route is designated as the “maritime section” of a national highway.
It sounds like you should head to Hokkaido in summer. Less humid, cooler.
For the amount he put onto the card, he could have just got the bullet train direct.
Hell yeah, Paahtis goes outside again! 😂 I really enjoyed this one, thanks for taking us along for the journey!
Great video, was lovely to see all the different parts of Japan and the food looks amazing too!
Fantastic video, thank you so much
This was very enjoyable to watch. Glad to see you had a great time during your trip. Looking forward to my trip to Kyushu area in November! 😄
what is the resturant name / location of the cat magazines?
34:23 Holy shit that's Flat Eric!
crazy vid paahtis san!!!
Odotin jo innolla että jossain vaiheessa pärähtää Chrisin käyttämä "Tydydydyyydydydydydyyyyy dydydyyy dydydydydydyyyy" teema mutta ei 😀
a Paahtis video over an hour long? Is it my birthday?
thanks for documenting your journey, i love that you speak nihonggo
Thanks for making such an awesome video!! Here's enough to at least get you a decent bowl of ramen, though you actually deserve a lot more! 👍🏻👏🏻😄
