Kampung kat JEPUN ni sumpah CANTIK! Tapi mana pergi semua orang?

Since I was child, I have watched all sorts of Japanese anime. I memorized lots of Japanese terms that I have no idea what they mean. In this video, we’ll be flying off to the land of the rising sun to see for ourselves the food and the culture and flashback all the Japanese cartoons I’ve watched before. Hey hey. Assalamualaikum. Welcome to Fujisato, Japan! Finally, we arrived at the land of Konoha. It’s cold here. – [laugh] Yes, it’s cold over here. We’ve arrived at Haneda International Airport. It’s 4:00am right now. The temperature is around 15 to 17 degrees Celsius. Indeed, it is. The rain is making it colder. As you walk out from the airport, you’ll get the Japanese vibe. You’ll the get the vibe. – [inaudible] You finally arrived here. Aaa. – Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. [inaudible] [laugh] Hi. This is Izzul. He’s the tour coordinator who facilitated our trip to Japan. He’s actually a Sabahan. Japanese wannabe. Wannabe. [laugh] [speaking Japanese] We have too many luggage. We don’t intend to visit Tokyo. We want to go to a place far from Tokyo. It’s nine hours away from Tokyo. It’s Fujisato located in the Akita district. Since we arrived early in Tokyo, we have to wait for someone from Akita to pick us up. In the meantime, we’ll take a stroll to see what’s here. Izzul is actually a Sabahan. But he’s familiar with Japan. So, he’ll guide us around Japan. To be honest, we’re a bit confused being in Tokyo. At this station, everybody is hurrying around. People here rush in anything they want to do. The door is closing. Luckily I managed to get in. While waiting, Izzul brought us on a train ride. Hi. – Hi. I’m Fikri. I’m Nori. – Nori Kun. This is Nori Kun. [laugh] We’ll be staying at his guest house. Let’s get on with the journey. The journey to Akita takes 10 hours. We bought food items for the journey at Family Mart. It’s quite difficult to get hold of Halal food over here. [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] [laugh] – [laugh] It’d be nice to be able to speak Japanese. Japanese Akihabara. – Akihabara. This place is for the Otakus. Otaku. Is this your first time in Japan? Is this your first time in Japan? – Yes. Owh, first time in Japan. – Yes, this is my first time in Japan. I love to watch Naruto. [laugh] This is the second time for Adi. Owh Allah. Akita is so far away. The Ultraman’s color timer was blinking. In Japan, you can see lots of Ultraman statues. Owh, we’ll heading there? And then, we go up there? – Yes.. They placed their vending machines here. So many vending machines available. The Japanese fully utilize technology to make life easier. You don’t need people to manage and dispense. Look. It’s free, right? Yes, it’s free. – [laugh] – Everything is free. Wah. Thank you. R&R stations in Japan provides free tea and drinking water. This is green tea. Butter. – Owh, this is butter. Butter is called Mochi in Japanese. We can eat the eggs from here, right? – Yes.. We’re looking for food with no pork or lard. Okay. This one here has pork in it. Owh. I got what you mean. You don’t want pork in your meal. What do you call pork in Japanese? It’s called Buta Niku. No Buta Niku, please. This one has Buta Niku. This one too. – All of them contains pork. This one doesn’t have pork in it. To buy food from there, you need to place order at the machine. So… You need to look at the numbers. I don’t understand Japanese language. Relate the food with the number. That’s teh best we can do. Owh. That’s right. They have numbers for every food. It’ll be convenient for introverts, who don’t like to interact with people. They can just buy food using this machine. It’s time to pick up our food. [speaking Japanese] – Thank you. – Thank you. This is among the ones that has no pork and lard. It’s just rice flour and seaweed. Let’s try this Agemochi Agemaru. Does this taste like one of the pastries back home? I think it tastes like Cekodok. – Yes, it tastes like it. It tastes nice. – Our first Mochi in Japan. Mmm. Approved. – Approved. Let’s get on with our journey. We’re behind schedule. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. They placed 11 trash bins over here. One for each kind of trash. This one is for plastic bottles. This one is for glass bottles. Japan has a very systematic garbage disposal system. If I get left behind, I wouldn’t know where to go. Sorry. Sorry. I forgot about you. – [laugh] Owh. That’s a big bun you got there. Hey. Hey. – Ooh. Ooh. – Hey. [speaking Japanese] – Let’s try this. Thank you. Thank you. Bismillah. Mmm. It feels like the cream gets dispersed in your mouth. When you bite it, the cream spreads in your mouth. This one has been cut open. Imagine how it’d taste like if it’s still one whole bun. The whole thing in your mouth. Is the Yakuza organization still active in Japan? Yakuza? – Yes, Yakuza. – [laugh] [speaking Japanese] – No? [speaking Japanese] No. We’ll be the Yakuzas here. Don’t mess with us. Your hair is not long enough. [laugh] [speaking Japanese] What is this place? [laugh] Aokigahara. Aokigahara. – What? Is this Aokigahara? – What’s Aokigahara? Oish, okay. Okay, We have safely arrived at our destination. We started the journey at 9:00am. Right now is at 1:00am. We’ve spent more than 14 hours on the road. Do you have ghosts around here? Ghosts? – Ghosts. Ghosts. – [laugh] – [laugh] He has gone hyper. He’s hyper at night. Hi. [speaking Japanese] – I’m Fikri. This is Adi. – Adi. Tagaya. – Tagaya. I am Nori. – [laugh] Silly. [speaking Japanese] – From Vietnam. From Vietnam? Owh. – [laugh] I’m sure to be their laughing stock after this. – [laugh] I’m from Africa. – [laugh] He’s from India. – [laugh] [speaking Japanese] Owh. That’s nice. I’m excited to be able to stay at a place that’s genuinely Japanese. This place does not exist elsewhere. It’s truly an experience. If…. Light up a fire in the fire pit. Sing together. Have some marshmallows. That’s exquisite. I see these things we’re experiencing now in Doraemon cartoon. But this is for real, okay? This is the switch for the bathroom. – Switch. This is Japanese… – Kimono? It’s Japanese attire called Chanchanko. – Chanchanko. – Chanchanko. – Owh. Yes. yes. Yes. That one looks like Naruto’s. Uh yes. [laugh] Owh. Okay. Okay. – Yes. [inaudible] – Owh, yea. [laugh] I think it’s a little short for you. [inaudible] Owh. It looks good on you. – [laugh] Samurai. Samurai. – He looks good in it. Tagaya. Takeshi. – Takeshi. [laugh] Komanechi pose. [laugh] He has gone berserk. [laugh] What has got into Nori? Owh God. My mom would scold me for doing this in the wee hours of the morning. Does this place have water heater? – Yes, they do. I need to take a bath. – Of course. – Perfect. You can also take a dip in the tub. – Really? Aah, okay. Onsen. That one is not an onsen. – [laugh] The three of us will be staying in this room until the end of this Fujisato trip. Oih, Zamri. I swear to God. The air quality here is fresh and pollution free. It’s so refreshing. It’s surrounded by hills and mountains over there. They’re no burning of fossil fuels here. Everything is solar powered. I prefer to stay at this kind of guesthouse instead of hotels. At this kind of places, you can explore the local culture. Wah. Nori-San. [speaking Japanese] At Awaji Shoten Guest House, you’ll have your own fire pit At night, you can chill with friends while having a conversation. You can warm up in here, as it’s cold outside. You can have a sip of tea while at it. Itadakimas. It’ll just be tea and nothing intoxicating. This is the kitchen area. This is the stove, refrigerator and a sink. I’d like to drink some water. Water is clean. It’s easy isn’t it? Fujisato is located in Akita district, Japan. We’re staying at Awaji Shoten Guest House in Osawa Village, Fujisato. This village once had a vibrant population. But today, most of them have relocated to cities. Not many of the younger generation live here. Nori and Izzul is trying their best to revive its glory. Although not many people live here, the bus service is still operating. The village is clean and well maintained. I’m amazed with the people here. We’ll be exploring this village shortly. Ohayo. Ohayo. – Ohayo. Ohayo. We’ll be looking for lunch soon. So, we’ll do a bicycle ride and go around the village to see what’s there. The suicide Aokigahara Forest is over that side of town. The exploded Chernobyl nuclear plant is over that side of town. [laugh] You’re making me feel uneasy. Just kidding. Bicycle helmet for safety. Safety first, alright? – Yes. [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] This is how it should be. We should experience the Japanese everyday life. Take bicycle rides and go around the village. It’s not too cold here. It just feels cool. It’s exhilarating. Fujisato Kumadatake is at the front. – [laugh] – [laugh] Fujisato is also an agriculture area. It feels liberating to ride a bicycle around the village in the evening. We can see village folks ploughing their paddy fields. Nature. – Yes, nature. [laugh] – Agriculture farm over there. This is a high school. But I don’t see any students. Where is everybody? It has the capacity to fit in 300 students. But where is everybody? – Where’s everybody? Yes. Where’s everybody? Uh. Yea. [laughing] – [laughing] – Everyday. Everyday. Here, they have a school and a kindergarten. But I don’t see anyone here. This is weird and eerie. But this is a reality. Okay. – Carry on. Carry on. – Adi. – Let’s go. Go. [expression] It’s cold in the morning, just like in Kundasang. I like it. This is insane. The whole town looks deserted. What is this place? It’s deserted? – Uhm uhm. The town is pretty developed with buildings and all. But you don’t see people around. There’s a place for you to park your bicycle. Yea, okay. Itoku. They have allocated an area to park your bicycles. Back home, you just have parking for motorbikes. You see that? This is their daily food here. This one here costs about 700 yen. 700 yen is equivalent to RM24. We were actually ushered to leave just now. The supermarket of this rural town is like those in cities. Salmon costs just RM6 here. You can get lots of it. We have bought our meals. We want to enjoy our meal at a rare place. Veges. [laugh] – [laugh] – Veges, anyone? – [laugh] We are breathing the cleanest air. People here will stop at the traffic lights even there’s no traffic on the road. Out of nowhere, suddenly you see graves. I think we’ll just walk for now. [laugh] – [laugh] Welcome to Kasugano Observatory Deck. The bell is for the bears. – Owh. Visitors would ring this bell at the entrance. This is so that the bears would know, there are visitors. So, the bears would not come and bother anyone. This…- Hah. – Ettomada. What does it mean? A little bit more. – A little bit more? – A little bit more. – Owh. We’ve arrived at the spot. – We’ve arrived. Finally. – Yay. – What a nice view. [speaking Japanese] When you reach the top, they’ve provided you with desk and chairs. You can chill up here, have your bento and enjoy the view. You can view the whole of Fujisato from up here. We bought this bento set box from Itoku Supermarket. I’m having salmon with sticky rice. They put in other things too. They put in salmon, fish cake…It’s a complete set. Let’s try this out. This set costs me around RM12. Let’s try the rice first. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. It’s just plain rice. It’s sticky rice. The grains are big ones. It easily sticks to the chopstick. It sticks easily. Mmm. Tastes nice. The salmon tastes a bit sweet. It tastes really good. Mmm. The salmon is not plain salmon. They have seasoned it. It tastes a little salty. It tastes good when taken white rice. I was hoping they’d serve it with soy sauce. It would be extra tasty if taken with soy sauce. It’s easier to have meals in Japan compared with Thailand and Vietnam. Because there are lots of seafood in Japan. Let’s try this long bean. Mmm. It tastes good. Isn’t it? It’s cooked the ordinary way. But they cooked it with crushed ground nuts. I’m not sure what they use to season it. But it tastes good. [speaking Japanese] – [laugh] Are you feeling cold? – Yes, feeling a little chilly. [speaking Japanese] [laugh] After we have our meal, they’ll put things back in and close the lid. The Japanese are honest people. They don’t steal these things. [speaking Japanese] You can see for yourself how disciplined he is. They put the things back in and secure it with a simple knot. When hikers come here to enjoy the view, they’ll use the chairs and put them back in after use. Sakura tree. – Sakura tree. Wah. We can have a look at Sakura tree. This is the Sakura tree that’s adored by Malaysians. Malaysians come to Japan to see the Sakura tree. This is how it looks like. Uhm. There’s no smell. It’s indeed beautiful with its pink lowers. It also has nice looking branches. Wah. I feel that the Sakura tree is similar to bougainvilleas back home. The only difference is its flowers are pink. This is my first looking at Sakura tree with my own eye. I can physically touch it and shed its flowers. Vandalism. What’s this tree? Wiscontin? What’s this tree? – Wisteria. – Wisteria. This is one of my favorite. We’re lucky. It’s currently at the end of spring. Yet, we can still see and appreciate the flowers in Fujisato. It’s just like a scene in the Walter Mitty movie. Going down the hill like what we’re doing now. [speaking Japanese] Go left? – Yes, go left. We took all day and back in the e late evening. Beautiful scenery. We spent the whole day out cycling. Cycling going around Fujisato. Assalamualaikum. I think we have a parcel. – Shopee. – Got a package from Shopee. I’m back. – Owh, welcome back. – Welcome back. Welcome back. – Too late. Too late. – Too late. – Too late. We’re having fish tonight. – Fish? – Yes, fish. Yes. – Wah. – We’re going to have a taste of Nori’s cooking. This is sashimi. – This is Soumen. It’s vermicelli. Owh. – I brought you guys something. It’s a gift – It’s a gift from a resident nearby. Owh, you’re giving us a gift? Thank you. – [laugh] Wah. – I heard you guys like to eat spicy stuff. Wah. – It tastes good. – It tastes good. – [laugh] What’s your name, Sir. – Kiohe Matsukawa. Kohe Matsukawa. – Kio Kio Kio. – Kiohe Matsukawa. Yes. It’s Kiohe Matsukawa. – What shall I call you, Sir? Matcha. Matcha. – Matcha. Matcha? Matcha. Matcha. Matcha. – Matcha. Matcha. Matcha. [laugh] People call him Matcha. [laugh] – [laugh] We’re just kidding. [speaking Japanese] Who is this? – [speaking Japanese] Hi. Hello. – Nice to meet you. – Nice to meet you. Owh. – Does he speak English? I brought you guys some Ramen. – Ramen. Ramen. I also brought some Udon. – Udon. – Some Soba also. Thank you. This is good. This one tastes good. Thank you. Thank you. [speaking Japanese] Japanese people are nice people. They come with gifts. Don’t worry. They’re all Halal. No alcohol. – No alcohol. Thank you. Ooo. – Ooo? Wah. – [speaking Japanese] Wah. [laugh] – Thank you. Thank you. [laugh] – Yes. Ayoyo. Malaysia and Japan. – Wah. [laugh] I’m not sure why they printed this? I only see Zamri YouTuber printed up here. I don’t understand the rest. Adi, please scan it. Almost everything are printed in Japanese. It’s translated as National Expression. This here is translated as YouTuber Lelaki Sial. The translated English has literal Japanese meaning. They printed this flyer to invite village folks to come here. We’ll have a gathering here. We’ll share what we think of our visit to Fujisato. I didn’t expect them to do this for us. [laugh] Malaysia and Japan are friends. Shinzo Abe. [speaking Japanese] – Hello. Hello. She’s the one who printed the flyer for you. She’s the one who printed this flyer. Thank you so much. [speaking Japanese] No meat. – No meat. – No meat. I’m originally from a locality near Mount Fuji. You’re originally from a locality near Mount Fuji? – Yes. Why did you decide to move here? Because I’m free and I just want to enjoy nature. – I see. [speaking Japanese] – [laugh] Welcome. – [laugh] She’s still single. Try to approach her. What do you call this dish? Soumen. – Soumen. Mmm. – Mmm. [laugh] He’s speechless. [speaking Japanese] This is rice sausage. They told me it’s compact rice. They would ground it and clump it real good. Then, they’ll shape it like a sausage. Let’s try it out. [speaking Japanese] – [speaking Japanese] Mmm. It’s like compacted rice. It has been clumped real good. You should dip in this sweet sauce before you eat. It tastes quite nice. Mmm. It tastes good. – [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] [laugh] This is taken with this sauce soy sauce. It’s to be taken cold. There’s ice in here. Take it, dip it in soy sauce and eat. Bismillah. Mmm. Umai. Umai. – Umai. – Umai. Okay. It’s a light meal. This is suitable for late night meals. That’s why they are not obese. They’re all physically slim by eating healthy stuff like this. It tastes good when taken with the sauce. [speaking Japanese] Mmm. – [laugh] [speaking Japanese] – [laugh] Yoyo is a toy from Japan, right? Aaa. Yes, yoyo. – It’s like…Yea. They play it like this with the string. Kendama. – Haa. [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] – [speaking Japanese] So, they play it with the sugar cane? Yes. – Owh. Tagaya. – Mmm. Tagaya. You’re the sifu. – [laugh] [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] [laugh] It has two balls. And then, you would have to do like this. [laugh] [speaking Japanese] Bathing time, sleeping time. – [laugh] What is she doing? – I’m looking at Big Dipper. Do you know what’s Big Dipper? Big Dipper? – Yes, Big Dipper. We’re out here to look at the stars. The night sky is filled with bright stars. But you won’t be able to see them on camera. Let’s find a ghost. – Where would you like to go to find it? They don’t deny its existence. They don’t deny the existence of ghosts. They don’t believe in ghosts. I see.- But they don’t deny it’s existence. They told me we’re going out to a cemetery. I’m not sure if they’re serious about it. This is completely a spur of the moment. That’s a cemetery? – Yes. Owh. They really are taking us to a cemetery I thought it was just a lie. I thought you were lying… I thought you were lying about taking us to a cemetery. I scary. – [laugh] Scary. Ooh. The cemetery is so clean and well maintained. This was a spur of the moment thing. He said he’ll bring us to a cemetery I thought he was just joking. This is really a cemetery [speaking Japanese] How do you offer your prayers? This is a shrine. We’d ring this bell. – Owh. Bow. – Just that? – Then, we ‘d put our hands together to pray. Do you guys offer your prayers every day? We’d pray three times when we’re here. – Three times? The bell is for calling the Gods. – Owh. It’s like telling the Gods, we’re here. – I see. This one… – What’s this for? Is it Buddhism? – Yes. Owh. – This is a statue of Jizo. – Jizo. – Jizo. Maybe because we don’t anything about their graves. That’s why we don’t feel afraid. Back home, we already know how our graves look like. So, immediately you’ll get the goosebumps. Over here, we don’t even know that this a cemetery Different religious belief, I guess. – Uh uh. I think that’s the reason why we’re not feeling afraid. But we do get the creeps near the Chinese graves. They wanted to show us that Fujisato is so clean you can even see the stars clearly. It’s in a rural setting and far away from the cities. [speaking Japanese] Not far from the guest house we’re staying in there’s an ancient tree that’s thousands of years old. This tree is called Zelkova. It’s the most expensive tree over here. They used to use the wood for making furniture. It’s written there, this tree is the God of Water. At the base of the tree, there was a spring. They used to use it for drinking water. This tree has witnessed all sorts of events in history. It dates back from the Samurai era. The yesteryears of Ninja warriors. This tree saw it all. Mizu is water. Kamisama is God. Kami. Kami. Sujin-sama is God of water. We don’t fully understand what he’s trying to tell us. But I was told, people here worship the God of Water at this shrine. There used to be a spring over here. They would use this scoop to take water from here. They would also worship the God of Water here. But now, this place has gone dry. [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] People here are friendly. They told us that this place used to have a good population. They have schools. This area here was part of a school compound. This whole area is part of a school. But after the Daira mine closed, most of the people here left to other cities. A lot of houses here are empty. Malaysians are encouraged to permanently relocate here. Get married to a local here. Relocate here permanently. – Lots of empty houses that you can buy. You can rent plots of land here Then, you can plant your crops. – You can plant anything? Yes. – You can plant anything. They welcome foreigners to relocate here. Even though this place is almost deserted but they still upkeep and maintain this place. You hardly find trash around. The Japanese are highly disciplined people. They would even bring trash home to dispose them properly. I’m not comparing to give a negative light to Malaysians back home. But I think we should learn from them and adopt the positives. As for the negatives, such as cursing and what not, we’ll just ignore those habits. Homes in Fujisato are typical village homes but they’re like units in a resort. They’re well structured and organized. They’re adorned with beautiful plants and flowers. [speaking Japanese] They’re pleasing to the eyes. The plants here are lush and thriving. Here, you’ll feel like you’re on a vacation. In actual fact, you’re just strolling around in a village. Wah. The plants are so beautiful. Kawaii. Kawaii. Kawaii. [speaking Japanese] [laugh] Owh. Sugoi. [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] – [laugh] She mentioned Naruto. I only recognize the word Naruto. [inaudible] You got it wrong. Haki naru to means… Naru means to become. To is just Japanese grammar. – Owh. Haki naru to. [speaking Japanese] She’s not referring to the anime Naruto. [laugh] – [laugh] The elderly ladies would surely love this place. Every plant here is lush and thriving. The village folks here…We were just walking in the front of the house. We mentioned that the house looks nice. They’d call us and invite us in and show us around their homes and gardens. They’re so friendly. Thank you. Thank you. Please take care and have a safe journey ahead. When the Japanese makes a product, they’d produce in small quantities but of the highest quality. Like honey, they’d harvest just one layer from the stack a year. It’ll be in small quantities but of the highest quality. There wouldn’t be any stress on the bee population. Honey from Japan is priced higher than from other countries. The Japanese produces in small quantities but of the highest quality. Okay. Okay. Okay. – Okay. Okay. Okay. [laugh] Owh. This guy is pretty naughty. – [laugh] [speaking Japanese] A sample for you guys to have a taste. – Thank you. Thank you. [speaking Japanese] – [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] He’s giving us a taste of the rarest honey on earth. The nectar comes from 100 flower species in Japan. It includes the flowers of the Wiscontin tree. Eh? I mean, it includes the nectar from flowers of the Wisteria tree. They’re all in this honey. Look. The honey is thick and sticky. It won’t spill even if you do this. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. – [speaking Japanese] It tastes a bit like Royal Jelly. It does taste sweet but they’re clumps. It tastes like Royal Jelly. It’s not extremely sweet but it’s just pleasantly sweet. If you make sweets out of this honey… Royal Jelly also contains…The bees also feeds on the pollen. He’s selling this? Yes. It costs JPY1,600 each. Mmm. – It weighs 50 grams. – Uhum. This is a gift for you. [laugh] Thank you. – [speaking Japanese] Please come by again. – We’ll surely do. People here are friendly. A simple hello would get you into their home and taste honey. Konnichiwa. I’m from Malaysia. Owh, you’re from Malaysia – Yes, Malaysia Tonight, we’ll have dinner with village folks. We’re invited to have a look at how dinner is prepared. We’re at a community hall. This is their community hall. This place hasn’t been used for quite a while. It’s because not many people live here anymore. They’re using this place just for us. They’re using this place to cook and have dinner with us. They arranged their shoes so neatly. That’s the mentality of the Japanese people. They’re using aprons and face masks while preparing food. Back home, our elders chew betel leaves while preparing food. Just take a look at the kitchen. It’s so clean. What are you cooking, Madam? – [speaking Japanese] They’re preparing a bamboo shoot dish. The kitchen is pristine clean. You don’t feel like it’s the kitchen. You can even lie down on the floor. This place looks like it’s brand new. In actual fact, it’s just not been used for a long time. But it’s so well maintained. Not a single speck of dust. Am I right? – It’s so clean. Let’s go around and try to look for mice. I bet you’ll never find one. When I entered this room, I feel like taking a nap. [laugh] – Because the room is clean and cozy. Thai is our local delicacy called Kiritanpo. Kirianpo is actually made from rice. They clumped it real good. They compact it and eaten with a special sauce. They call it Miso sauce. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Ooo. That tastes nice. Does it taste nice? – Yes, it’s delicious. – Okay, good. Thank you. Mmm. They even prepared us t-shirts to wear just to make the event more livelier. Just to make it livelier. Where’s the changing room? It looks nice on me. Kawaii. – Kawaii. [laugh] – Kawaii. Let’s do this. [expression] We need to wrap this thing. – [speaking Japanese] We’ll wrap this rice sausage after lacing it with this sauce. [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] It’s easy to make. We can make it back home in Kuantan. [speaking Japanese] – At what price can we sell this in Malaysia? [singing] Rice satay. It tastes nice. It’s healthy and nutritious. We’ll open up at kiosk in Brickfields selling this. Brickfields? – Come to our kiosk, okay? Are those vegetables, Madam? Yes, these are vegetables. Its just vegetables and soy cakes. Don’t worry. They’re all Halal. No alcohol and no pork. Coming through. Do you want to have a look? Looks tempting isn’t it? [laugh] [speaking Japanese] – It smells good. Owh. – It’s Kiritanpo. – Kiritanpo. This is the Kiritanpo that we made just now. Both of us made these. [laugh] You guys made this Kiritanpo? – Yes, the Kiritanpo. Is it done well? [laugh] – Good. Good. These are mushrooms. Everything will be vegetables. They live a long and healthy life because they consume lots of vegetables. They’re all hundreds of years old. This is Japanese culture. They’d arrange the plates and what not in an orderly manner. They’re perfectly arranged and aligned. They’ll place them one by one. If anything that ‘s out of its place, they’ll rectify it. Japanese people are perfectionists. This is just like when you dine at the hotels. It’s just like at the hotels, right? That’s Japanese culture. The lady back there is so fixated with arranging the chopsticks. You’re blocking the view. Move aside. Move aside. – [speaking Japanese] That’s the lady arranging the chopsticks. [laugh] Kanpai. – Kanpai. – Kanpai. – Kanpai. It’s green tea. Green tea. Kanpai. Kanpai. Kanpai. Kanpai – It’s green tea. Kanpai. Kanpai. Green tea. Green tea. Kanpai. Kanpai. – Kanpai. Kanpai.

I am deeply moved by their kind gestures. [speaking Japanese] [laugh] He was saying he was washing the mop of the… – [laugh] – Owh. These are the food we’ve prepared earlier. This is what we prepared earlier. It’s called Kiritanpo. These are all plant based foods. No meat. These are mushrooms. These are bamboo shoots. They are all specially prepared for us. If the visitors are non-Muslims, they’d prepare dishes with meat Beacuse we’re Muslims, they prepared everything Halal. It tastes delicious. Delicious. Whoa. Sugoi. – Aaa. – Sugoi. – [laugh] They call this baby bamboo shoots. It’s delicious. It’s soft and the soup is tasty. It does have some similarities with Chinese cooking. But this tastes better. – This gentleman watches your YouTube videos. Yes. Its Fikrizamri channel. [speaking Japanese] – Subscribe. Subscribe. Subscribe.

But you turn out be of normal size. I’m of Asian size. – [claps] Thank you. See you tomorrow. Bye bye. Good night. [speaking Japanese] [claps] Bye. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Bye bye. – Bye. – Bye. [laugh] [speaking Japanese] – Huh huh. Okay They’re extraordinarily friendly. In my three years of traveling, this is the first I’m treated this good. They cooked specially for us. They normally eat meat over here. But out of respect, they don’t cook anything with meat. It was all vegetable dishes. I’m deeply touched by their kind gestures. They’re also friendly. All this despite not understanding what they’re saying. I’m deeply moved by this. They might not understand you but they’ll hear you out. Thank you. – Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. – Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the food. It was delicious. [speaking Japanese] Move the camera away. [laugh] [speaking Japanese] [speaking Japanese] [laugh] Thank you. – Thank you. – [speaking Japanese] – Okay. Okay. This is a gift from Malaysia’s Mr DIY. – Wow. – [laugh] This will make Awaji Shoten Guest House Muslim friendly. Muslims can stay here and pray at the comfort of their rooms. This will make your guest house Muslim friendly. – Thank you. [speaking Japanese]. – [speaking Japanese] [laugh] [speaking Japanese] – [speaking Japanese]. Thank you. Owh no. I am not tall enough to do this. [laugh] – [laugh] I’ll let Adi take over – [laugh] Nori. Nori. – Nori. Nori. Nori. I don’t think I can. I’m also a short guy. Stick it to the ceiling. Whoa.

Just for one day. – Just for one day. – Just one day. [laugh] You can see no smoke or haze at all. They’re all using generators. Even cars are now electric cars. Since there are not many people living here, they know each other. They all know each other. The upkeep and maintain the whole town. They trim the grass and tidy up the place although there’s not many people living here. This Japanese town is not like any other town in Japan. People in Tokyo are not as friendly as the people here. That’s true. A simple hello would strike a conversation even if they don’t understand a thing you say. They’ll try their best to understand you in the conversation. They even showed us a good spot for us to see the whole village from a high point. I think I’ll be coming here again. Maybe I’ll come here but not do any videos. I’ll Just enjoy living here. I’ll rent the guest house for a month. That would be excellent. You should try coming here during winter. – Ooh. Thank you for subscribing. See you again… …next time. – Bye. – Hoo. This is from Fujisato, Akita, Japan. – Japan. – Yeah. Actually, there are more exciting experiences we had in Fujisato. Don’t worry. We’ll share them in Part 2 of this series. [laugh] You want us to cut more of your hair? This is really fun. [speaking Japanese]

Selama ni bila tengok vlog jepun mostly cerita pasal Bandar Tokyo, Osaka, atau tempat tempat yang dah biasa kita tengok.

Tapi kali ni aku & @nurhadibeseri nak explore kampung yang cantik sangat, tapi pelik sebab takde orang langsung. Kampung Osawa dekat Fujisato, Akita.

So video kali ni kitorang travel jauh ke negara matahari terbit, untuk rasa sendiri pengalaman kampung, dekat Japan!
