The JAPAN You Never Knew Existed ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต



๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต We are all a bit fascinated by Japan aren’t we. So distant and yet so modern and futuristic. I’m no different and have always wondered what the country was like however what really intrigued me was what it had to offer beyond the huge metropolis of Tokyo. Was the whole country wealthy and modern and full of robot restaurants and Harijuku fashionistas? Or were the provinces something else? A place that suffers from the same economic and social problems that much of the rest of the world does? Well to find out I set off across Japan with my mate @Backpacker Ben to see for ourselves, choosing a random town called Itaigowa from the map. What we found was not the Japan we knew existed.

Join us because I think we’re turning Japanese, I really think so…

Thanks to Chris from @Abroad in Japan for all his advice behind the scenes. If you don’t know his channel yet then definitely check it out for mad Japanese content that is ten times better than anything I could make.

Also check out @Gabriel Traveler who has lots of Japanese videos from his recent trip

Also I misspoke about Megumi Yokota. Her school wasnโ€™t there but further up the coast

  1. Thanks once again to @backpackerben for driving us around Japan. Wouldnโ€™t have been possible to travel to the places we went without him. Check out his channel for some Love Hotel fun

  2. Seven eleven was one of my go-to places during my Japan trip for nutritious, fresh, filling food for breakfast and on-the-go.

  3. Mate most Japanese speak some English just some are to ashamed to speak it if they can't speak it well enough.

  4. lol you think they're school girls? They are probably 40+ they look very young for their ages.

  5. See how you earn their respect when you can at least speak some words? It used to be like that in other countries now its not. Japan is the last old school earn honor and respect country by learning their ways and language. This what I found anyway.

  6. Fukushima-Covid Sama, you should contact Abroad in Japan, another Brit who spent the night at an abandoned Love Hotel (same one?). Interesting to hear you compare notes.

  7. Ben someone on Bitchute uploaded this video on channel name UKACTION is this you? Otherwise someone ripping off your videos lol

  8. It amazes me with all the Japanese companies that do foreign trade and Japan's global economic position, they barely speak English….
