Doing my first solo trip to Tokyo in April, I’m so excited but still trying to figure out an itinerary

I was a teacher and a tutor. I was a college professor without a degree - because I'm a subject matter expert in one area, the top in the world - maybe one or two other guys can do what I do at my level. I've taught college in IT certification across multiple disciplines. Microsoft, Linux, Cisco. 8ve tutored Kindergarten to 9th grade in primarily math. A job on the Japanese country side as a teacher of children would be a dream job. I am very successful with getting children to learn. Any subject, math, language, English, local national history, world history, ancient history - I was taught mesopotamian cuneiform in theb3rd grade - my whole class was reading play tablets better than Indiana Jones. Benefits of private school. I am familiar with Etruscan, ancient Greek linear script A and B for minoan and Mycinaean and Minoan and the 5,000 year old Greek Kanji and syllabary they had in the Greek Isles. I am familiar with archeology of Mexico, South America, Europe, and Asia, and the cult7res of Africa from the time of Solomon to the Kingdom of Benin, to modern Nigeria. I was assessed by Artificial Intelligence as a Network Architect. I myself thought the computer should be hired immediately as a Junior level technician or entry or senior apprentice - darn that thing was smart. Anyway, JAPAN. How do I get this teaching job in the Japanese Countryside? Teach class 14 hours and go to the nearest Ramen noodle shop. How do I know? Dude, I know kids. Japanese kids were raised right. They see their dumbass senses show up at 4:00 AM in the morning and stay until 7:00 PM and wear their little brains out all day in class, and blessed little buggers will show up, line up, and bow. Then they'll brag about me to their parents about me. My nephews and nieces did it. How do I get to Japan, teaching in the Japanese countryside at a rural fishing village? I know Japanese history, English history, American history, Russian history, and a bit of Chinese history. I can teach Shakespeare, modern English, Middle English or Chaucer's English that Lawyers used in the time of Shakespeare, Old English or Saxon - the language of the epic Old English poem of Beowulf, English modern literature, Middle ages to 19th century English literature, I am a huge fan of anime and have watched all 700 episodes of Naruto - I know more about the Hidden Leaf Village than the average Japanese. I am familiar with Ninpo, Ninjitsu, Aikijutsu, Karate of like 9 different Japanese styles and taekwondo, I have a Japanese work ethic and sensibility - I would love to work somewhere they actually appreciate that instead of a bunch of lazy whining westerners for once. It's not that I'm casting aspersions mind you, I've ridden long subway trains for commuter purposes. I guess my question is: HOW THE HECK D9 I GET TO JA0AN FOR THIS "DREAM JOB" OF TEACHING IN THE JAPANESE COUNTRYSIDE EVERYBODY HATES? That's live anime culture and nobody looks art you funny for working 2 hours before sun up until 2 hours after sun down. I KNOW HOW THE JAPANESE LIVE. My students were the only Americans with their success rate: 50% employed before they graduated. Give me your elementary and grade schoolers and they'll be applying hard for salary men jobs to impress the CEO of SONY.They'll say they "learned from Amerika-jin Sensei and he works harder than any Japanese." I'm a workaholic. I put in 8 hours a week as a technical SME, and 80 hours or more a week when I took up teaching college. So, YES, where can I get this Japanese Dream Job of teaching in the Japanese Country side? By, the way, Swedish man, I read the Bible in all Scandinavian languages and Faroese and Finnish, IKEA furniture design and arsthetics are very similar to Japanese. You turn me loose on a fishing village in Japan and it will be like a fishing village for eskimos. I've seen a blued eyed Eskimo, I've eaten sushi since 1990. I know about the Sukoji Fish Market, Shibuya Ku, Minato ku, Ginza, Greater Tokyo, the subway, the bullet train, Sumo wrestling, and a lot mire about v3nding machine culture in Japan than weird voyeuristic stuff - that I have never seen and won't want to. I want a Japanese house, I know about Machiyas in Kyoto, penthouses in Ginza, houses in Hokkaido and sushi restaurants in Okinawa. I can probably teach German and Swedish, too. I read the Luther Bobke in HauptDeutch and 7 German dialects including Deitch, Plaudietchs, West German and Bavarian. I would very much like to get to Japan to do this teaching job you say everyone hates - I will become a living anime character like Far and and Away or Arietty or Naruto. Like I said, I am the #1 teach, tutor, and college professor of elementary to 4th year college and I can adopt African standards, Russian standards and top standards in Europe such as Eton. I'm smarter than the idiots they turn out at Harvard or MIT - because I care, nit because of book learning. Books intimidate students, kids and people learn from a teacher who take an interest in their success. I appreciate your time. Thank you for sharing with the public.

*cries in my countries are not in the list...

My most recent trip, I stayed for 3 weeks in October. I went to these cities/sites in this order, Tokyo, Hakodate, Hirosaki, Lake Towada, Kazuno, Tono, Sendai, Yamadera, Gotemba, Tokyo again, Takamatsu, Iya Valley, Naruto, Kochi, Imabari, Hiroshima, Iwakuni, Return to Tokyo to return home.

I went to Naruto city, while the whirlpools are a bit underwhelming the surrounding park is quite nice. I stopped there while exploring around Shikoku in my rental car from Orix Rent A Car at Takamatsu Airport.

Hi, so do you think they will drop these bans soon ?

Good and bad video. Wish you showed and discussed a few more details on each visa and made some pro con list.

Great video as usual! Thanks for the work and the tips!

i'll be going to japan for 5 weeks in february/march and no matter how much i "plan" i still find myself never really following plans. i plan cities and then just go from there. i'm doing 2 and a half weeks in osaka and the rest in tokyo. also, huge yes to the website because my fat ass wants to go to the pokemon cafe SO BADLY!! and i have failed miserably way too many times to get a reservation lmao

I was thinking about going for a month in about a year, would you say the month of July or august would be more bearable?

🤣

Yeah a site like that would actually be so god damn useful

awsome vid thanks ;)

Personally, I greatly enjoy staying around the smaller cities like Hida. The hotels and food are much cheaper and the nature is beautiful there. I get tired of all the noise and concrete of the big cities.

Fellow Scaninavian here (svensk). Going back for the fourht trip during hanami season. But I thought it was gonna be crowded as hell during that season as well, going anyway, mostly because of less humidity/typhoons and of coruse not a bad backdrop. 10 days this tips, 7 in Tokyo, 2 in Kyoto and 1 in Osaka. Why only 1 day in Osaka, well havent been there before so I dont know too many things to do. If I end up going to Universal that will be most of day gone but we will see. For sure most of my budget, except shopping for vinyls, is dedicated towards to food and experiences. Setting up that service sounds like a great plan. I have question, how quickly does the Shinkansen train tricket run out? Planning on traveling on first trains out so does not have to be during convient hours. Also, I would also appreciate recommendation for some Okonomiyaki and/or Takoyaki place that might be better than big chains.

Got my passport recently, next step is to look for a Job again and save for April 2025 (Not to mention my Tax Return to get next year.)

Utrolig gøy, kjenner meg veldig igjen i sammenligningene fra et norsk perspektiv! Var leit å komme fra Japan tilbake til utallige «Sushi & Wok»

I have came across so many people having Tokyo -> Osaka or Kyoto in a single day using the Shinkansen in their itinerary. Some of the reasons I heard is because of JR pass and they want to experience taking the Shinkansen. Due to the JR pass price hike, JR pass may not be a viable reason now, but there are still people treating the whole traveling between Tokyo and Osaka/Kyoto using Shinkansen an experience that cannot be missed while in Japan. I have been to Japan 3 times, I have taken the Shinkansen 0 times. The last time I have Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto in my itinerary, I took a budget flight from Narita to Kansai Airport, which if I'm not wrong, can be shorter and cheaper than taking a Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka. I stayed in Osaka for a few days, visited Kyoto while I was there, then took another budget flight back to Narita, and stayed in Tokyo for the rest of my holiday. Why spend your limited time wasting it all on back and fourth Shinkansen trips between Tokyo and Osaka/Kyoto? How many places can you visit in a single day after subtracting the time spent on Shinkansen? Just choose a central location as your accomodation, then plan around it.

Down low shinsekai was actually the worse place i visited in Osaka, not sure if it was the crappy weather the miserable staff in every store or just the overall vibe. I fucking hated it. Also i got severe food poisoning from Kura Sushi in Dontobori.. That was not fun.

Not really a fan of planing everything to a really tight scheduel tbh. I like to take my time exploring stuff I didnt know about and actually experience a place instead of having a checklist of things "I should be doing".

You should definitely make a site

I'm going from March 21st to April 16th I think I'm littealy just scraping between two holidays so I'm lucky XD

Hi well I'm planning to travel to japan in December is to see if japan is for me i have a friend from school who lives in Okinawa and I'll be staying in japan for one month because one week doesn't give the time to visit kyoto, osaka, or fukuoka so one month is enough to explore around japan and I'll be flying nonstop from PR to japan I'm not going to get the kfc Christmas dinner which is a Christmas traditional dinner in japan It needs to make a reservation for the kfc Christmas dinner because they quickly sold out the next day I always wanted to try japanese mcdonalds and other fast food chains like mos burger, domdom burger, and freshness burger before heading to the hotel

Is that for real? Will Big-Fatty sama buy me some J-Pop tickets for next spring? I’ll seriously perform lewd acts for a service like that!

What if we live and work in Tokyo 🗼😅and now wanna return to Norway lol 😂

Join the Discord here: discord.gg/wBgtTtZtqq Thanks for watching guys!

Went October 18th to November 5th. Can confirm that the food is amazing. Planning a central location is definitely a good idea.

Too late. My return flight is today. Failed channel.

What about for someone like me who’s 33 and don’t have any college degree

No offense but I have to completely disagree with you about hostels. I travel all over the place, I'm in my 30s too and I prefer a hostel to a boring isolated hostel room. These days they are really clean and I meet a lot of really nice people who generally are more interested in seeing the cultural sites and museums than getting drunk partying.

Are there any art jobs/opportunities? It’s the only thing I’m good at tbh

I’m in remission from a chronic illness that made me severely malnourished and underweight, I’m 184cm and weighed almost 50kg. My nutritionist told me to just eat as much as I can, use double pålegg and just add butter and oil to shit. I’m going to japan this month and I’m so ready for the food omg😂😂😂

Going for the self sponsor visa, how long does it last?

idk how tf can i get working visa. 1- english teacher no cant. 2- IT shit no cant. 3-tourism no degree no future. can i just open a kebab restaurant

i dont mind visiting japan but not live there its too expensive there just like here in usa 🇺🇸, theres crimes graffiti too even harassment like everywhere else what most americans don’t understand to get the hint japan isnt a safe country as they believe in.

lord help me, i’ve found my new favorite japan tuber ahaha you are the best kind of borderline unhinged and i love it! no filter, just say whatever is on your mind! sending you the highest of fives and my eternal following! :D

The countryside sounds awesome! 2:50 Are you still gong to do the grilling video? 😁

I love Japan. Smelly ramen is always inexpensive and good. I look forward to going back. Thanks for this advice.

I am a photographer, absolutely no way I am going there for the first time making compromises, I cannot wait to travel Japan SOLO in 2025. Cheers for the tips!

Hey do the self-sponsor or freelance visa exists? I can't find info on that anywhere.

So essentially, marry a, japanese girl. Well done ffs

What are you talking about? I just experienced Halloween in Shibuya and have never seen the city that busy. Everyone was dressed up and having a good time. Same for Hongdae where I was last week. It’s not cancelled at all

We were enjoying Halloween in Japan for many years....until the American dweebs started to come in droves..... ...and the Americans ruined it for everyone !!

Good. Tokyo is mostly full of degenerates anyways

You mean Tokyo

I have notice in some tokyo walk videos from yesterday that the hype for this toxic stuff is calming down a lot, that's better of course.

Great video! They're all great. Thanks for your work!

Not all foreigners but some foreigners are definitely ruining Japan.

Sukuna ruined Halloween in Shibuya

Seems kinda short-sighted. Halloween in Japan is very special for the young people and the elderly. People in-between, we should educate them on making it special for the kids. It's a big deal. It's not cool that we're shutting down the parties. Just tell people to be more Japanese and we'll be fine lol.
