the morning because it’s usually a bit hectic in the morning Hello Hello Hi I’m on a mission to get some amazing sushimi cuz I’ve heard it’s the best place to get it If you want the hust of sukiji out market I recommend coming in the morning We’ve come in the afternoon and a lot of the stores start closing They got tons of wagyu I’ve already had like so much wagui So trying to look for some sushimi So here’s one of the famous fresh fish Which one you recommend this one Yeah this one So this is blue fin And this one is salmon Oh salmon Okay perfect Wild blue fin tuna which is like the best tuna

this You don’t try it You enjoy Honestly you find that you don’t need to eat much here is it like little things like this waggy here there This is literally enough to keep me going for a bit So all rested We had a little break in the hotel and now where are we going shaboya Shaboya Crossing and then food either tapanyaki or robot sushi or something cool And then we are going to Golden Guy which is at the red light district like bars and stuff Let go We are at Shibuya Crossing Look at this guys It’s crazy We’ve done this crossing about 20 times First time [Music] Okay you have to come to Shioa Crossing That was fun right so now we’re on the hunt for food But here this area is buzzing It’s probably like the Oxford Circus of Japan So this place looks pretty good It’s a bit like McDonald’s is it give us these And now I think we got to go inside Mom’s getting I’m getting ramenza and beer and then kimchi on side Yeah Thank you Cheers I think it’s ham [Music] So we just ate at

they got bars couple of drinks and spots here So we’re going to go check it [Music] out So Golden Guy cool if you want to come and have a drink We’re not really in that mood today So we’re literally going to carry on for this little walk They got a nice little gardeny bit over here and then we’re going to head back and call it a day because we’re driving to Mount Fuji tomorrow So signing out Bye See you tomorrow Our time is done for this hotel So good timing That’s it Next destination We’re going to pick up a car Then we’re driving to Mount Fuji Then we’re going to Lake Kawagucha And we’re staying at the onsen which should be fun And funny enough there’s actually a fireworks display So see you there Fun fact in order to get this car I had to basically get a international driver’s permit So if you do visit Japan make sure you don’t forget about that because even then I’m hoping it worked So it worked I was freaked out cuz I was not going to lie I thought it wouldn’t work So if you do go to Japan you can’t just use your regular driving license You have to use an IDP or an international driver’s permit from most places I’m pretty sure it was not this car but anyway what can we do i’m pretty sure I got a different car It’s all right Okay we have a 3-hour trip 135 km all the way from where we are at to Mount Fuji So this is the adventure and it’s going to be interesting trying to make it work Let’s go I’m officially a Japanese driver So far so good Gone about 1 km Got 133 left to go Once you learn to drive in another country you’re pretty good to be fair Better to be slow and safe And then when you’re really confident you want to whip the handbrake up and then do Tokyo Drifty Crossing Mom’s face right now is like he ain’t doing nothing like that About 15 minutes into the drive so far Only thing is I am getting a bit hungry So so I reckon there’ll be some kind of bit where we can bullet it down and absolutely run and get some food I’m sure Sunny will film me sleeping at some point No that’s not [Music] There she is Oh that would dare save that It’s already saved So mom just pulled out the ultimate OG car These are unbelievable peanuts and stuff guys Have you had these like they actually like usually it says a wasabi flavor but these are like these are like you’re eating wasabi Yeah Same same with the apple Like it’s like I’m literally eating an apple It’s crazy It’s really nice I definitely recommend Got a T-Rex on top of that Wow that is a boat That’s a Hotel Atlantis Oh we’re just parking up First little pit stop I think we don’t move We’re halfway there but let’s go explore I don’t know why I was expecting like a star of Western drinking Got macaroons That looks lovely Brewster latte This is quickly becoming my favorite coffee We’re sitting there being confused for the longest time trying to figure out what to eat But right next door was a family bar Cool I might get one of these Oh look They got grilled chicken thighs More chicken Okay so Family M was actually not bad I don’t really see anywhere to sit Get in the car So I got some chicken skewers That looks pretty good That is pretty good You’ll like it I got my chicken No Where’d it go oh god it’s rubbed too much [Music] I got it everywhere I knew that was going to happen to you And then for my drink I’m falling in love with this drink slowly They have ice lattes everywhere in Japan So we’re going to eat this and we’re going to head out 2 hours later At the moment weather is looking a little bit overcast So rather than going to Lake Kawigucho we’re going to go straight to Kananu Onen which is the hotel that we’re staying in Lovely bit of damp That was it Get the shot quick Get the shot Tokyo drift Drip drip drip We’re just pulling through to Mount Fuji and the weather right now Look at this And we’re getting a full mountain experience Not only has the ride been like crazy views but like like an excursion Pretty cool Reverse slide treats So we officially made it public Yeah we do Very nice Oh okay So that worked out perfectly Yeah Yeah Oh lovely This is cool That was nice grading Very nice Oh and the top floor Here’s the floors And we are right up there Yeah Oh nice This is very nice Oh this is cool I think there’s even a hot spring So Mount Fuji that up there So we should in the morning I reckon be able to see it Look at that Oh my god Wow I mean these definitely do not fit me Oh my goodness Yeah this is better than I thought As cool as that is happy Oh my god Yes And in about an hour and a half they’re going to come and set up a full dinner here I think it’s crazy as well The day we booked they have an entire boat firework display on the lake and then you’ve got the Mount Fuji behind All just for today The universe has listened Mom are you happy i’m very happy I can’t believe what we got here This is the much needed guide how to wear a yukata first Hey looking very smart Mom It’s a yakuta A yakuta See now I could do this but Sunny had real problem trying to tie the bow Oh yeah But we used to do it It’s really comfortable It is comfortable So here we have the fit What do you guys think i think it’s pretty cool Look at this I I can wear this quite a lot But I’m excited cuz this is one of our fits in Kyoto We have a samurai outfit And then we also have a tea ceremony where you can wear the full robe So everything looks cool in Japan We just saw the man Look this is the first time I see it Wow Oh my god Look at that That is beautiful Wow That is beautiful That’s from the room I’m telling you My god Mom Mom was like “Sunny look.” And I’m like “What?” Look at that Wow Oh my god So me and mom always said that we would go on a road trip Yeah And I think this has blown that completely out of the water This has been a Japan tour We were saying in the car yeah honestly it’s almost like um first time to Japan tour guide for anyone who wants to go It’s hectic It’s manic It’s killer on your feet But oh my god what you we’ve just [Music] Oh they’ve already got the fireworks going They’re testing Yeah they’re testing out the fireworks for tonight And that’s another thing We’ve got front row seats to it right from the rooftop so we can see the whole of the display Yeah Honestly unbelievable And like we were saying if you’re going to try and go to Japan 2 weeks minimum you need to go for 2 weeks It be expected to be doing a lot in a day If you want to do everything yeah you can take it easy in Japan You can but we have had so much fun doing everything It’s been some very very late nights 2 or 3:00 in the morning But it’s been well worth it Yeah Honestly [Music] was that good Mom very very good Look what socks we have to wear Some ninja socks To the rooftop we go So we’re currently on the rooftop to watch the uh fireworks And just look at this Look at this view right now That is absolutely incredible Mount Fuji’s on this side and over on this side Mom’s waiting [Music] Oh those fireworks were sick Crazy I’ve never seen such big fireworks in my life Ever seen fireworks because think about it that’s relative to an entire valley Yeah And they’re that big The banging It was like my ears are hurting cuz you could hear a ripple every time an explosion happened It’s insane That’s such an experience Honestly unlike any other fires I’ve ever seen We got hungry so we’re deciding to go search for food because we saw all those people downstairs and so many food stands We’re going on an adventure Another one Every day is packed with adventures So this is where all the food stands are We found all the good food spots We got hot dogs here How much how many thank you very much What did you get Mom you got a hot dog and a churro Churro Very nice Three up Next up churros That’s not bad Look how

dragon flies here Anyone who knows I’m not a fan of bugs We’re just driving now to In Fuju Station So we have arrived That was pleasant experience actually Super easy Yeah I would definitely recommend

thought there’d be a massive line Kyoto station So Shinkansen non-reserved We are going to Kyoto I’m taking the bullet train I’d probably say you need to reserve your seat if you’ve got massive luggage to me The weather is weathering today It’s pretty hot in there It’s very humid You can tell the sweat’s coming down Check it out So we are on 723 Look at that It’s bullet train on the way We

This bag Thank you That is pretty cool Oh that is cool Bye Oh look at that You even put adverts on the back Oh that is sick That is sick Quite funny cuz at the front desk they all said “Oh you’re a YouTuber.” And I was like “Yeah yeah.” And they were like “Oh.” So now they they added me All of them subscribed at the front desk I’m pretty sure I’m not just saying this because it’s that thing to say But I’m pretty sure they’re giving us better rooms because I’ve been saying that it’s your birthday All the YouTubers think one thing But something’s working because every single building we’ve been in top floor top room just Japan Just Japan’s sick And hi we’re heading over to Kiamu is a temple Then from there Gon district and then from Gon district we’re going to poncho something with it for today We have linen bottoms Mom’s wearing pretty much matching with me This is a sculpture of where we’re going Yeah it’s one of the main temples Yeah So Gizu is h is closed Yeah I got to change plan So now we’re going to G district to see some food streets and the geishas Oh yes Gishas Totally a different vibe isn’t it To Tokyo So he said to us that that’s called Yasaka Shrine Yeah [Music] Oh we stumbled into a little gem The Asaka Ginger Shrine It’s got lots and lots of shrines here Yeah really nice You turn a corner and there’s another one So we officially have seen the Yasaka Ginger Shrine And it’s way hotter in Kyoto as opposed to Tokyo How you dealing with the heat Mom muggy but it’s it’s nice It’s nice Yeah I’ve just got sweat running down my back Now in Gon district I love the lanterns You know these [Music] [Music] [Music] That was well That was worth the wait How’s your food amazing Mom’s a picky eater Mommy [Music] Welcome to another day We’re going to Inari Shrine to start off and then to Kiomitsu Dera to check out the temple There’s like a holy waterfall there and then after that we are heading to Chiki Market they one day one day these guys could be famous Yeah exactly You know the gates It’s definitely hot out here Yeah than in Tokyo like by by a mile I think This is cool This is what I imagined when I made it to Fushimi Inali Shrine So apparently it’s up there So we have to hike all the way up there We’ve been told if you keep on walking you get a bit more private area because people don’t basically go to the top So just go to the bottom take a picture So we want to go all the way to the top Sienna and Maya My mom’s picking out some stuff for my nieces That’s lovely Super cute She’s in proper grandma mode These are quite cool You know that’s quite cool I’d love to get a samurai one We find that we’re always walking around with change here So this is kind of a cool idea They look quite funky as well It’s good Welcome to Christini Inara I’d probably mess up but basically the Anara [Music] shrine [Music] shrine That’s where we’re going They’re known as the Tory gates Oh this is a fortune This is what we got from uh the other place And I believe this is the start of the Tory gates Fun fact every single one of these tori gates was donated from the business and I believe could be the writing on the sides but you can call me if I’m wrong but I read that somewhere But feel like I’m going to hit if I tiptoe if I [Music] tiptoe Found a little side route Look how beautiful this is This is truly like a nature walk I take it back I think you’re right It is It is the stone shrine cuz Amakaru stone was somewhere around that direction Oh it’s getting steep steep Poor little pit stop As you can tell we are absolutely faking it up here But they have these pit stops which is pretty good And we’re back at it It’s getting steeper and steeper Oh my god All right It’s not that bad You can do it You can do it Mount Lari Not sure mom’s going to make it May have to turn around but still amazing up there How you feeling you don’t tell Had to leave mom behind It’s like damn after said 20 minutes but oh my [Music] god the signs are definitely lying cuz I’ve been walking for about 20 minutes and it says 5 minutes If I was by myself I’ll definitely walk Can’t leave Mom I think definitely come here in cooler weather We done like pretty much most the way Yeah And there’s a lot at the top You can see the viewpoint and stuff And this is the ultimate lifesaver Vending machines on the mountain Might get one of these Be the best for the ones It’s like San Pelagro in the UK That’s perfect But nature that’s nice views And then when you need a drink vending machine Oh my god We’re in the middle of mountain and we see an OG What’s your name yeah guy Nice to meet you man Nice to meet you That’s so cool dude That was incredible The guy that was just in the spring was a fellow subscriber We were literally sitting here like in the middle of Inari Shrine in a bit of a mountain Like we’re literally high up right now And no joke some guy turns around and goes “Oh my god React King talking to me.” That is like the coolest thing that has

heading to Nara Park from Kyoto So I think it’s 39 minutes on train 5-minute walk to the station which is usually there and then we take a limited express train straight to Nar Park Yes So new adventure but we’re a little bit cautious because tomorrow we’re going to Osaka but there’s apparently been an earthquake which is a trigger for a mega quake And Osaka is prone to tsunamis apparently So we’re trying to make a decision as to what we’re going to do Yeah we’re going to see what happens tonight and then figure it out But yeah let’s go Let’s go enjoy the deers for now Mom just taken us to random locations Quite cool If you have light luggage you can literally leave it at the station and just go ahead and uh travel around Kyoto if you’re here for a day trip which is very handy I would definitely say pack light isn’t it we definitely pack too heavy for this trip It’s a busy busy station today Okay our second experience So trying a different type of train but this one’s called the Limited Express It’s not a bullet train but it looks pretty nice Carriage 2 All the trains in uh Japan are more spacious So everywhere we go we’re actually taking this anchor charger and it’s been a game changer This thing tells you how fast everything’s charging and it’s just never running out Now we charge it super quick charging and in these little gaps I just have the wire sticking out the bag and boom works perfectly Nara Park Temple Yeah that’s exactly where we want to go We have made it to Nara Park So how was the train ride it was really quick That was actually effortless honestly I wonder what’s going on over there Oh the mochi Oh yeah [Music] Oh no Did we miss it here’s the famous mochi place [Music] Just one Thank you Thank you Famous mochi bowl We actually saw him making it just as they finishing up It’s nice Super gooey but it’s really nice Once again trap mom to another set of stairs You can do it You can do it First spotted the deer Oh too Yeah I don’t know if that’s He looks like He looks on edge Oh they’re so friendly Some beautiful shrines here That one we can actually walk up to This is the statue that we saw at Kyoto station So we just saw Kofukuji Temple Now we want to go to I think it’s down that direction There’s so many beautiful temple I think that’s being restored Cool Let’s go this way The museum I believe over there Mom’s probably done enough museums in your time as a school teacher Currently at Nara Park And how cool are the goats wow Goats Deers Currently at Nara Park How cool are the deers oh my god they’re so cute They’re very cute Very very tamed They’re so calm around people Honestly it’s nice to see Like even kids are just like literally sticking their hands like under their mouth They’re not doing anything Yeah And like the actual park itself beautiful It’s just very very hot We found the shade currently in a stair down How are you liking the deers Mom it’s beautiful It’s so calm here But they are so friendly It’s like they have their own matcha lake It’s incredible It’s furry I didn’t realize it would be furry Very chilled French style burger Is it it’s a French style burger Um beef and pork and chicken Fried chicken and rice Okay Food was actually pretty nice I recommend maybe coming to that museum shop Feel fresh and ready to visit to the temple So we are currently here and we’re going to go all the way down here past Nandanda Moon Gate to Taii Temple A little sing with a vodka Huh oh hello Mr Sing Hi Harvey This one’s for you Harvey It’s so cool that literally as we walk down here you turn to your right and there’s actually deer over there and deer over here Like right in between people We are at Tadai is the gate before to get in Very hot though Huge in person The size of this in person is huge That is absolutely beautiful Huge Outside of mom in her element right now mom Thank you This is Taii temple And no joke it is huge in person but it’s also boiling hot today And the humidity is crazy So be careful when you come in the summer Yes we have a cab Thank god For many of you that don’t know I love my sour candy So going to try some Japanese sour candy Not really sour Sour And we are back in Kyoto We’re trying this out Kyoto Tower sando [Music] Hey hey hey [Music] What was your review of that that was nice That was good That’s a hidden gem Kyoto people Yeah Oh my god Like if you come to the station like 2 minutes walking Yeah Another place knocked out We’re conquering Japan And we’re back So today we are venturing to Kyomuda and we had a change of plans We were supposed to check out the hotel today and head over to Osaka but because of the earthquake warnings tsunami warnings we’re playing it a bit safe We actually cancelled that hotel and extended this one And we’re going to do a day trip to Osaka tomorrow to do Universal Studios and Dontoi Street something like that And that’s it Yeah everyone in Japan is so disciplined Me and mom are tempted to just walk but in London you would just walk there Driving up the mountains Here we are at the gates Our driver actually took us a back way So he said the fun gets quite crowded so he was like come the back way He couldn’t speak English but he done the trick I think we favor Yeah I think we might have just found it I don’t know if that’s it but no it’s not This is Hitachi That is where we are headed So just down there we have Komitsu Very famous place in Kyoto Beautiful day for it as well It ain’t too hot It’s not as yesterday That was boiling All little shrines Look at that Oh that’s the uh that’s the famous bit These trees are literally lifesavers huh [Music] that’s much more needed isn’t it huh [Music] thank you Thank you This is pretty good That is so needed right now Looks funky but it’s proper This is 10 out of 10 That’s banging Completely cooled me down No more sweat Kim done Yep Finished Yeah Another one done I think we’re done for shrines now We’ve seen like 100 different shrines which is awesome But now we’re going to go to a mall with some AC and get some food And now we’re heading to Aon Mall which is the only mall that is the one besides Kyoto station We have arrived at Aon Mall and we thought we’ll check it out because it’s the only other one besides Kyoto station close to us We can do that anytime They got a cinema here as well So wow Could go cinema Looks like we’ve hit the food court Um yeah Oh yeah And the cinema Yeah See you’re right Wow where they have their cinemas They got so much more going on isn’t it crazy about the games here Just spotted the holy grail KFC and Subway But KFC I think it might have to be today cuz I’m hungry See what the KFC in Japan is like That looks nice Red hot So we got KFC We played it safe today cuz I’m hungry Hungry What was your review of the KFC very nice It was nice actually It’s spicy It’s kind of like the buy spice but it didn’t have any sauce so there was no gravy or anything So it is what it is He has some slow IKEA Japan edition So AON mall definitely one of the malls with the less fancy shops like the kind of average shops whereas the one near Kyoto is a lot more highend That’s all your electronics that’s all your designer stuff Oh brother I’m so happy to see you Can we go to a th00and kyoto oh yeah Thank you So today we’re actually keeping it a light evening We’re going to the mall which is literally 2 minutes that way which is Kyoto mall and then opposite we have Sando Mall Mom’s just literally getting ready right now and then we’re about to head out It’s definitely much much cooler in the uh evening This is a way nicer temperature to walk around in isn’t it so much better Is this the mall oh no I think it’s closed Oh no Looks like they closed pretty early here Yeah that’s the problem When you live in Dubai you get so used to everything being open till midnight But that’s just how the rest of the world live It’s a bit like London Yeah same as London So back in my favorite shop Possibly might get some microphones for this camera literally got everything you can need But nowadays everything’s online and you don’t really get this kind of like childhood hurries experience I’m tempted to buy a Switch Like this is genuinely what they call a mega store Like this has every single thing you could need Another camera upgrade I currently use the DJI cameras quite a lot and I’m decided to get this one This one is cool cuz it automatically connects to the camera So we bought it We have a wild camel jet in her natural element searching for setting spray The wild camera just continues to look around the store inspecting things to add to the basket Let’s check out some food spots These are quite nice Got some really nice bars on these side roads What is this we found a Oh we found a casino They are crazy about their gambling here I’ve never seen people so hooked in a casino Have you properly hooked So here we have Pora This is meant to be a underground shopping complex with dining fashion a few things Okay so looks like everything is uh somewhat closing although I think the food area might be open I’m properly in the mood for some good sushi So unfortunately we have no luck because everything in there was closing Nothing was really jumping out that we haven’t had already So uh mother what would you like to eat we’re going to go outside and we’re going to see if we can find a little place There’s How many places outside there there are a lot of spots outside that are still open and doing their thing So we couldn’t find anywhere to eat So they found a fivestar pizza place And luckily there’s actually two next to each other Both five star cuz pizza the other day slapped So we’re going to try our luck again with the pizza game Hi How you open oh this is good This is a very cool little spot Apparently this place has got five star reviews and the food looks pretty banging And they greeted us so nicely Hey cheers They’re good The reviews were wrong Thank you Very good Thank you Very nice What awesome place But we’re finding all the kind of gems like our mood before that versus after it Totally different And those are the kind of gems like when we walked in there it was empty They were all screaming at us saying “Oh yeah welcome Welcome.” And the food was amazing Yeah I would say that’s second best Yeah The first one has to be show Look at how the doors just open by themselves It’s so cool Hello Just to,000 Kyoto And we’re back with another day Today we are heading to Osaka Osaka Exactly We’re going to Universal Studios Japan a main street one of the main streets for food Doburi Street I think it is So we’re going to go there So now we’re going to catch a train Enjoy [Music] Hey hey hey [Music] childhood has successfully been relived today I think we’re about 12,000 steps in But I mean like look at that Doesn’t matter how old you are That is cool I think it’s fair to say after 12,000 steps in going to commute from Ky to Osaka That was worth it just to see all of that Now we’re out We’re going to Dun Boy to get some food and just to sit down It’s a cool little exit to the park or entrance I guess They got all the like UK American shops Shake Shack But look at the town And they got Hard Rock Cafe We just stayed in the Hard Rock in Puntana which is kind of cool And then you have the Park Front Hotel which is the Universal Studios Japan Hotel which I’m guessing a lot of people stay at if they come here Universal Studios completed it mate Once you sit down you actually feel much better But the heat is uh taste test of Shake Shack cont That wasn’t my first time That was my second Don what’s that mean don what’s that mean two points 10 points And this point this mom doesn’t like some reason So I’m basically going to leave her in Osaka next to the ocean side and just get back So right now we are going to do bori which is a very famous street neon lights and food So a lot of food coming down if you haven’t already seen this trip Yes Eating Eating But we walked Yeah we walked Do you know how much I’ve done today 13,000 Oh 14,544 steps I cannot wait until we’re back in Ky and after a full belly Shower Showered up Sitting on the bed Sitting in the bed just we’re not packing until with AC on blast We packed tomorrow morning That to me after all of this I feel like we we successfully completed Dubai We packed

nicer feeling here It’s got a nicer feeling Yeah Vibrant Yeah definitely more vibe Goes to sleep after like 9:00 Yeah Yeah I think Tokyo and Osaka very viby Very I think Osaka tops Tokyo on the vibe in the evening cuz this is a really nice walk Look at the how the neon lights um bounce off the wall When you read it online that Osaka is a maybe skippable place disagree with it 100% I think you have to come here Even if it’s for a day trip so we were meant to be here for 2 days but the fact that we’ve even done a day you have to come to Osaka It’s just a different kind of vibe Especially if you’re coming from Kyoto your energy just goes through the roof Like I I love this place Oh it’s awesome How about you man yeah I love it It’s absolutely amazing Boy is the last place on the map
