Exploring the peaceful little town of Kusatsu in central Japan, which is blessed with an abundance of natural geothermal hot springs. This was just what I needed after the hectic, crowded city of Tokyo.

Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!

I just realized that after a month you've already experienced 2 to 4 once-in-a-lifetime journeys. From this, I realize that you've lived many such journeys, approaching 800 to 1200.
It sure is affordable in Japan right now. Really hoping I can get back there for an extended period of time soon. When I lived in Japan I went to an onsen town and I couldn’t stand the smell! I had to leave early. I was super bummed. Apparently I’m very sensitive to the smell of sulfur. The little pastry thing he gave you was probably red bean. I’m enjoying being able to watch without being there! Thanks for another great video!
Cute town.
welcome to Japan!!! arigatou gozaimas is politely word. just arigatou is for friends!!! Have a enoy Japan!!!!
Gabe is having such a hard time finding food in Japan. He needs a McDonald's
Harald Baldr is in Mexico… calling you Gabriel high roller travler… in his videos, bet you didn’t know Harald the viking was a fan? 😂as you sit by a hot spring eating a 7-11 hotdog😂
You went there by bus😮
It seems you bought a lot at seven eleven but you ate up almost everything
Never knew Japan had so many hot springs. Loving the Japan trip. 😀 God Speed, Sir. As always, thanks!
All that food and drinks at 711 for $11 seems like a great deal. Would be way more in the US
The film crew asked you to go to an onset with them. To quote Mr Harald Baldr “How progressive!!” 😂

Nice and touristy🍻
I thought eating on the street was kind of frowned upon in Japan?
Beautiful Autumn colors!
Loved it.👍😊🇮🇪⛩️🇯🇵
I lived in Japan for many years. It is the most beautiful place I have ever been and the people are some of the most respectful and kind.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with this video. It was good to see the location again.
I often see vids now with tourists and sometimes it is a bit sad to see so many not respecting that they are masking even outdoors. Regardless of one’s personal opinion, it’s disrespectful to not recognize customs, traditional and current. I hope more visitors can understand in the future.
It is good to see you addressed the proper way to express gratitude. ❤

The wooden boxes are used to cool the hot spring water down a few degrees.
There’s perforations in the 7/11 hot food bags so you don’t have to get your hands dirty eating.
Definitely not🤫
I love that you’re walking around doing a touch test on all the water you pass by…
I cant be there because i dont know what food i wanna buy for a other or next food to cook XD
pewdiepie also came here 1 month ago
Fantastic video Gabe
I was just there last week. Best onsen town Nikko was nice too.
Swimsuits are generally not allowed in almost all onsens in Japan — you must go in absolutely naked.
Awesome video! Japan looks very beautiful I've been wanting to visit for a while now. Thank you for the views and great work. Cheers!
