hello hello can you hear me we are live hello my name is William and this is found in Japan and today we are in wakayama City uh wakayama prefecture is south of Osaka it’s the tip of the peninsula here uh in the conai region and I’m in town for another event and I’ve got some time so I decided let’s go see wakayama Castle so I’m down here in the lower parking lot there is wakayama free Wi-Fi it says over there on the restroom uh what we’re going to do is we’re going to walk up this load of steps right here where these people are going up to the castle entrance and then we will check out the grounds so says please be careful of the bird poop over here can never go wrong with the ice cream vending machine so let’s get up these stairs hopefully it won’t jostle too much lovely area thank you Ariel I’m glad to have you here hope you are feeling better uh of course right as I get here and begin it starts to sprinkle so hopefully it won’t rain too much but we are currently inside the grounds so you can actually see the castle wall here uh there’s another Shrine and structure over that way even who doesn’t love walkama very true so let me go face uh I really want to say thank you to everybody who’s been joining I’ve been trying to get a video out every week even if it’s not always the most travel or food related uh this morning I put out a video about how I found shoes 32 CM shoes dress shoes for myself and holding this up with one hand is quite rough yeah you can see the path up here behind me but uh I was really happy to find some shoes it’s really hard to do so and I wanted to share that with people who might need bigger shoes all right re all right I got my chat phone with a picture of the Stream So if people ask me what are you doing I can share it to them so that’s what I really wanted to say thank you very much everybody who’s been watching and joining the streams liking the videos and commenting uh we hit 666 uh uh subscribers today uh we got lots of view time from the uh Osaka ComicCon so we’re going to try to keep that up and let’s enjoy the Castle Park okay here we go yes currently the weather in Osaka City the conditions are rainy hours with a temperature of 24° C so like night B is saying I like you you like me you like this stream so hit that like button congrats on the triple sixes I did not sell my soul yet no uh but for real uh it does really mean a lot we’re pushing onward to the road to 1,000 just taking our time now at 668 really well I have to say thank you to anybody that’s done that I actually have some video save D from other castles uh COI Joel coochi castle and mat Joel and I thought about just recording that but I’ve got all my gear here so I thought you know what I’ll just stream it I subed from all of my accounts that’s to thank you very much irim oh uh over here you can see wakayama City I actually thought there was going to be an event today and right over here is a museum so I thought I would be able to join that event but it’s actually just a sword uh display so let’s see in here they’re doing green tea foods and tasting wama is famous for mikang or uh Citrus so m Suites and stuff are everywhere but isn’t that look cool yeah wakayama is not really going to be that tourist heavy uh we are close to uh the castle or to conai CUO conai airport but not super super close so uh I need to get out oy maybe that should be the thumbnail right there I’ll just hold it for a second so I can find it uh let me see if I can’t beat this group in here oh so this is the transformer for the castle and and here’s the ticket it cost 410 Yen for an adult or 200 yen for a child so that makes it like what two $2 about in the US Dollars and I’m going to try to get inside before the rain really gets going because the gimbal does not like rain so uh they do have language support here for uh six guided tours in the castle please don’t EES should be don’t eat smoke and no uh Unchained engaged animals so we have English Japanese uh Japanese Japanese English uh Chinese the different types and Korean templates so I have not been here in 15 years so I’m not entirely sure how well it’s going to hold up inside the structure so we’re going to have to be careful there’s a toilet out here uh some of the castles do uh this is going to be a more touristy one so it will have wooden tiger statue so I don’t expect to be anything other than English in here though model of the castle Uber no but really uh to imagine that you have two or three four human beings carry you around in one of these anything with pineapple is good I my dad would agree with you I I have some reservations but pleas be careful there was side we got some cool armor and sort that’s actually what’s going on at the uh prefectural museum is they’re having a sword display if you look you can see the different types of Blade and their styling uh it’s really cool to have them all in English uh actually IIM I just found a new drink yesterday and I’m going to hopefully make a video on it soon so we have some German handguns what’s okay I’m using ran look at these giant Cole arms iron Rod you don’t want to get hit hit by that but let’s go up to the observation area thanks for the info no problem I actually changed to rocken because uh I was using salt bank and my connection would get dropped all the time and it was almost each mil or about $100 a month uh but rock with is only yon or like $25 a month for unlimited data here we have some of the history sounds like I have dodged the rain pretty goodu look at that view Isn’t that cool so there is a ground over here like a playground open field all right let’s keep going up like nightbot saying if you’re enjoying this stream or other content here on P of Japan and you’re not subscribed make sure to hit that subscribe button turn on notifications so you can be informed or as I say in Japanese to please subscribe all right so we are in the top of the castle now just please do not jump and there’s only one door because you got to walk around so here we go I love you thank you very much so if my uh ideas are correct that way is Baka ooh that is some wind uh I actually was hoping to do a 4K live stream of the drive down here but as we were driving my son turned the TV on in the car and it actually uh it actually turned my camera off so I couldn’t do it unfortunately uh over here is the uh AMA Museum of Art and history so this is where uh the sword display is going I actually parked over there at first and then I left and I realized that there was nothing going on uh over here we have so what is actually like I said the peninsula of uh the prefectures down here the the end between uh Nara Kyoto and the Kanai Osaka area so we have the ocean this is the kinoa the Kani and then it goes out into the ocean I used to go to the beach over on the other side of those factories uh there’s actually a place to surf here so quite nice [Music] not as big as Osaka Castle but if you were to think about it right now if a typhoon was to come it’s going to come like right at us so uh we’re very close to the water line uh there are Sirens actually you can’t see it but there are warning sirens right here wonder if I can catch it there is a Hulk or taka that is like surfing uh this wind it just went over that way but I lost itk building is the uh broadcast public broadcast system uh that is like that so if you see the koi on the top like the demon koi on top of the building very much similar to that of uh Osaka castle and over here actually is one of my favorite train Bridges this red on red suspended bridge that goes over the river uh I’ve actually walked underneath here and it’s really cool but this is the peaceful side so while this is the ocean and I did say we’re at the end of the peninsula this is the west side of the prefecture so yeah Osaka is going to be that way through the mountains uh perhaps when I go home today uh I’ll try to make a video of the drive back to Osaka so but these kids are just standing still so uh I don’t know if you can see if there’s a boat going through the moat much like in Osaka so they were just waving at them so there is a moat that starts here and goes around all the way around this way uh to this far Pond makes a loop comes in and then goes back out yeah you got to love the little the not so famous castles well Saka Castle is cool but it’s it’s so refabricated you it’s got elevators in it and stuff but it is very nice uh coochi Castle was really really really cool so all right let’s head back down and see what we can one thing that is very normal in castles is that uh at the top level the main observation floor they usually have a map of where you can view from here so this is 2008 but uh have you ever been to oh I guess I’ve never been there William what’s the cosplay happening around number if there’s cosplay going on in dendon town right now I have no idea um I haven’t been into town recently so here’s a cool diarama uh if you’re ever wondering this is the cardinal direction in Japan so let me we have North higashi East Minami South and the Nishi West so this is the castle covered in snow in 1984 the year I was born so it’s been a while since they’ve had snow cover here this is actually a huge Upper Floor uh so I’ve I’ve never seen an upper floor this big usually the Upper Floor is about one quarter of this size so hopefully I can get them all edited uh Leo was there streaming in a vertical form I don’t like like that’s understandable truth be told I hate doing the shorts but I pretty much do them for growth and content when I can’t get out of big video but I really don’t like vertical streaming I think if I was doing something on Instagram it would be better but Leo really seems to enjoy it so that’s good for him I’m not I’m not sure I’ll have to go back and look at his V later when I watch this stuff and see what’s going on is there anything else on this floor so if you don’t know this is the Imperial symbol of the feudal Lords battle crust yeah YouTube’s really trying to push it it is not my thing though so uh one of the other other good things about this Castle is that you [Music] can oh well it says here please do not video tape or picture exhibits bar this Mark but I didn’t see any marks I’ll keep an eye out now probably they don’t want the flash photography to damage oh well it shows it right here so sorry I’ll try not to do any more there don’t photography no no I feel bad these are all the tops of the buildings I don’t have any idea what they’re called armor [Music] so we started here and the first second we’re going to [Music] walk right this is the different Castles so this one’s in Okinawa uh Nagasaki kumoto uh nasaki can has two uh but these are the different saitama o hukaa so it’s really common to see a list of the different was I wanted to go to this one I haven’t been there yet I like ice Gs watch your head that’s very good advice conning this is what it looks like yay for being almost 2 m tall uh do you have a normal stream schedule no I don’t um unfortunately I uh try to make one long form comment every uh every week and then put out shorts when I can and then I try to have nothing uh live stream when I can I’m a dad with three kids and full-time job and kindo and other community commitments so I’m hoping this did not get cut off because sometimes it does he the White Castle uh it recently reopened it was having uh uh what’s it called uh reform they were rebuilding it I’ve never been okay cool thank you for joining I really appreciate it uh if you’re interested I have lots of backlog videos too um where I visit different castles and places and events so you can check those out um if you’re looking for other stuff there should be a playlist on my channel that’s like everything found in Japan so stuff that I’ve done but I appreciate it I got those oh man my hair I’m going to have to cut this curl is getting ridiculous I’m actually making a video right now about studying Japanese and how I pass the Nong or the uh how I pass the Japanese language proficiency test and uh so we have a warship that is not the swash you think that is that’s a Buddhist moniker seen some of these castles watch your head I guess this would have been the original Castle dungeon entrance yeah thank you uh I passed quite a while ago but I need to keep going here’s the WKA Yama robot I guess there’s like a castle anime and o robot kind of kind of want this yeah it looks like different Castles become these robots that they can fight that’s pretty nifty this is an box so please put a an [Applause] in and then this takes us around to the outside [Music] and that was Walker Yama Castle let’s take a little walk around the grounds and see if there’s any great views of the building like it’s right here I’m shaky I’m sorry if the video is shaky I’m trying to get my gimbo retuned and it’s having a problem by the way I clicked the thumbs up thank you very much these stairs are no joke this is engraved stone that is pretty nuts no room for error no laser edging at this time that is the history again really cool that they have a uh classic Chinese modern Chinese Korean English and language support uh also for like little kids you can usually come here and uh get like a stamp so this is the stamp for here thanks for the stream off to bed thanks for chatting no problem again thank you very much for joining it really does uh mean a lot to me and hope’ll see you in another one soon sorry if the wind is crazy I tried to put the dead cat on just caught the end of your stream we were there in December the free Su nearby is worth the 30 minutes out yeah I might have to go down there I’m going to put this paperwork and ticket in my bag over here on this bench going to let you guys enjoy the view while I do that well not the biggest of castles not the most uh crazy ornate of castles but a nice castle and not expensive and not hard to get to this has uh please please be careful of bird attacks uh so like I said earlier I saw that hwk fly around I guess if you left your food out a bird might come down and soup it up so I’m going to set you guys down while I put the stuff in my bag you can look at the castle the mountains are mountains seems like dead cat sees it that h for sure well I lost my ticket it seems oh well oh yeah all right so we came up these big steps over here let’s make our way this seems a lot more friendly of an incline nice little benches I actually thought about bringing my lunch I had a Nori Bento or a mixed Nori Bento which means uh I had some fries fish rice uh comu and W I really like the green rock they have here man this thing is shaking all over the place okay this is a recommended viewing spot to take a photo of the castle so we’ll go up here W more stairs down Co so like at the uh this is the former site ofar main Palace so I guess they moved it but this may actually need to be the thumbnail going use my chat phone actually I have some tea in my pocket I’m going to set you guys down and have a sip of my afternoon tea one of my favorite drinks Google NOA afternoon tea this is uh lightly sweetened and lemon got to stay hydrated people got to stay hydrated all right [Music] fore hi walk Yama Castle goodbye I kind of I really want to get monetized for a lots of different reasons but mainly to cover like this entrance and uh gear price so uh yeah it’s very helpful to be able to speak uh in Japanese so I offered to them I said uh meaning uh can I take your photo and they said ah sure and then I the Japanese say ichang so one two three and cheese and that’s a cool shot too wow the wobble wobble wobble is pretty crazy my gimal is hot also great great great uh then they she asked if I she could take a picture for me and I said yeah most for G you need to so I can do it on my own with this device she’s like oh okay and after that I said uh I have three children and I know how hard it can be to take a photo and they’re like oh thank you very much so no problem no problem I can speak Japanese but it’s really not that good wow that wobble I think this was the the bootland that was mentioned earlier or Zoo there’s like some animals perhaps I know that uh I could hear some birds from my car which just parked over there actually we started our walk over here uh actually my kids are bilingual in understanding let’s see if I can um all three of my children can understand English very well U my oldest child can speak pretty well when he wants to uh in English but all of my kids speak super super hard Osaka like some of the scariest old ladies in a tangai you will ever find except for they’re like this big and half white uh they grew up in a Japanese school so uh Japanese is their primary language but they can understand almost anything if you’re talking to them in English so I just hope it matures in them oh we try to read and talk to him so I didn’t want to be one of those parents that’s like yelling at my kids that you have to study okay all right all I’m going to have to push this a little and hopefully it’s going to stop that wobble there we go I love the stone just crazy to think humans did this like and I understand it’s not that long ago but they did it not that long ago but without machines oh do I hear someone playing like an ero no it’s a saxophone all right well we’ll get to them due to the foliage we can’t see up uh if you didn’t know these are all Sakura so I bet this is a beautiful uh come March you can tell sakura tree by its Leaf shape but also the uh side ribbing the horizontal ribbing on the branches and that will tell you that is a sakura tree this is a very uneven path here but yeah like I saying I I want to get monetized so I can do more videos uh more events uh I’d love to get a a big gimbal for my big camera so that we can have some steady shots and do more dedicated stuff uh people like John do and Chris abroad of course are huge influences for me and I want to share these local not really local welcome is a big thing but uh like i’ like to go to restaurants and do interviews and talk to people I really would hope that my command of Japanese could help me out there but it just comes down to time and money all right so down here on the lower portion looks over the moat I’m sure around monery season there’s a lot of uh events and stuff that go on here that would be cool to check out and again today I am going to try to uh as I go home record the drive from walk to Osaka to probably is City [Music] so I’m not sure if this will get copyright so I’m going [Music] to try to get by this guy quick this is the that South Gate and we’ll a [Music] wall I can smell animals so I’m going to assume it’s this [Music] [Music] way isn’t that just beautiful I would a long time ago said people can’t scale that but I have since seen humans free climb near sheer faces so I know that it is very possible for people to climb that what is six to S free or 9 to5 U please don’t feed the animals little Park a little sad we have some deer from I probably would say Nara a cockail is that what that is Amazonian EST Diva inkle this is a kiji which is a type of pheasant two pheasants got a a pony some goat like I said you could smell it pretty heavy but for a free zoo we have a capibara the largest rodent in the world right that’s there thing what is this is called a Maru M chillaxin we’ve got some different types of fowl so I suppose if you come the city helps cover part of this expanse as well as uh Your Castle visit so some rabbits and Penguins what that was a pretty pretty sad little dut but not horrible back to WAN looks like they had a larger it’s a bird Observatory there’s supposed to be a bear in here but he is on holiday I need to I was talking somebody other day and they said you need to be more ginky in your videos and when I watch the playback I realized that is very true um I really need to work on that [Music] birds are not happy we have a just some random cat at the zoo oh and her ear is trimmed which means that she has been fixed but uh it’s been about an hour which is where I like to call it as you may know let me this like this that friend uh I want to say thank you very much for watching this video and joining me for this walk of wama castle and around the ground really do appreciate you being here and watching this video uh if you enjoyed this one and you want to check out more content watch
