Fresh off a walk through Osaka’s Yakuza paradise in Nishinari, I wanted to see what other “dangerous” neighborhoods the city had. Locals told me about Shinsekai 新世界, a place that long ago hosted the World’s Fair. Even though it looks like a fairground straight out of Coney Island, Japanese people swear that it’s sketchy, especially at night. Many homeless people would come out to bother you, they said.

Well, there was only one way to know for sure. It was time for another unconventional tour of Osaka.

  1. Enjoy the tour. I've got more to say but I'm literally hopping on a flight as I type this comment…will get back to you guys later.

  2. It all looks so new, so tacky, so plastic, so temporary. Are there no stylish, old fashioned areas like in European cities? That was like being in a big fairground.

  3. Now I've been in Tanzania 6 months, I'm really glad you're showing me Japan, a country I've never been. Thanks for the variety!!!

  4. This is a fairly cheap hotel room … go to NYC and see how much you got for a 50$ … like hell!

  5. That man (Tom hank)gave you a piece of art.it’s a piece of art that you have now when his time comes

  6. Hayi, humbawa? Will be glad when you visit Shinjuku kuTokyo . Arigato gozayimasi. You have to learn to laugh 😃 all the time 🧍‍♀️ Man . Bye bye is SAYONARA.

  7. I miss living in Japan SO much. The way all the buildings are, how it feels like it's a maze. All the secret hallways, rooms, etc. Sushi restaurants with only 3 seats in the bak of an alleyway you can only get to by asking someone to literally SHOW YOU.

    The sounds of all the electronics everywhere makes me feel like I'm in a video game. I can't wait to go back one day. I lived in Yokosuka for 4 years. BEST time of my young life.

  8. Man you be traveling everywhere I catch your videos now and then and you're all the way in Africa South America now Japan and everywhere else would have wonderful way to spend your life at this moment in time and that's trippy that the dude he was straight up American

  9. This japan series is my fave of yours so far. An interesting view on the most advanced culture in the world.

  10. Do we just ignore he said “will shoot into your matako “😂😂😂😂🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

  11. Japanese people are so awesome. Just watched the Japanese soccer fans cleaning the stadium after their team beat Germany in the World Cup!! Superior culture. Shows you can compete, dominate and win AND still be nice and humble.

  12. I hate being cynical, I was sure the old gent was going to try and scam you, when the fan was given I thought bingo, he's gonna ask for a crazy donation.

    Scams in other countries have made me over cautious maybe, so happy to see a genuine encounter to break the expectation.

  13. Love hotels are not just about having an affair alot of Japanese living with their parents x extended families so they don't have a place to be alone with there boyfriend girlfriend so these places are used

  14. Some of us can relate to "Tom Hanks" getting told to get out of the house (some females think its their house). But he was a happy and contented soul. We all need to be chilled like him.

  15. I’m trapped in the American Amigo Field 🎃🍱🍢🍡!!!!!!!!! Seriously?!!!!!
