This video randomly came up on my suggest list, and come to my attention because as a normal Japanese guy who visits local Jinja every Saturday morning, I am interested in how Shinto is introduced to foeign nationals. Suddenly my jaw dropped, the Jinja in the video is the very one that I visit every week!!! what a coinsidense! I’m leaving this comment on Saturday night and I remember that I couldn’t make it to the Jinja today. I will definitely do Omairi tommorrow. Kami may calling me by showing this content on my KZbin list… Thank you for Introducing my local Jinja to the world!!

the man explaining the process "come here then here we move this" had my attention better than anyone else explaining anything to me in my life. I wish all my teachers spoke broken English with a Japanese accent. Edit: im not tryna make a joke or anything i honestly just believe the simplified speech is easier for me to understand. and where as i cant undersrtand most accents i can understand this persons

This is so interesting because what we all tend to eat looks very similar in the west, too. When it comes to what we would like to eat if we could choose anything the dishes become more different and culturally unique.

Thank you for coming Akko, I hope we as a nation hosted you well and helped forge many memories to last on forever. I also hope that we will see some more affordability soon if you do return for another visit.

Kofu has so many similarities to my rural Australian town. Train, buses, nearby dam, farms (albeit mostly cattle), dual campus primary/high school, food deliveries, fruit and vege markets. It's just so normal. The only major difference is architecture, the people, and the prices. Everything in my town is like 5x more expensive.

Due to weather conditions, our (my) transportation system stinks. But that's not surprising since there's 8 inches of snow outside.

Been to japan a few times and the differences can be stark. Peanut butter for example was in small pots only. Imagine US supermarket vs Canadian one! Some stuff i see when I was in the states does not compare to what we have in Montreal for example. Also for the liquor it depends on the province. In quebec, you can buy wine or beer in supermarkets or corner store. For spirits, you have to go to the SAQ (Qc version of the liquor store) and there is waaaaayyyyy more options there for beers, wines and spirits.

we can eat all the raw eggs we want in Canada , its just not recommended. you won't really get in trouble for drinking in public places in Canada , probably will get a warning or a fine depending on your attitude and the cops mood assuming your drinking is not making your break other laws like driving, assaulting or harassing others or breaking stuff etc.

You can't not mention how the US soldiers commit SA on Japanese women and Japanese Minors. Only in 2024 a 25 year old US Soldier was convicted and sentenced for SA a minor Japanese girl in his quarters.

I was impressed by the water that would rush in the gutters and channels in Nikko. Walking in the town, you would randomly hear rushing water underneath the concrete, not just in the areas around the shrines. Other towns also had cute waterways.
"What's the transportation system like where you're from?" NOT like this, you can bet your bottom dollar on it. Been to Japan twice on medium short trips not too long ago. You made me very nostalgic with your raw delivery with the cinematography and direction of these informative videos. It's cool how refreshingly grounded and enjoyable youtube content can be when delivering ana informative topic. Keep it up. Your wife's work is also top notch with her interviews and demonstrative performance.

Multi purpose zoning may only work in Japan, because people are so responsible, a factory won't affect a house next to it.

I wonder if it's like the UK. The moment a contractor learns the client is the city council, they triple their price, the councils are happy to pay it. The population's taxed money being referred to as "funny money" in the government's internal office culture.

Tokyo WOULD be best for biking if not for how condense the city is. With so many people, cars, and buildings it’s hard to feel like you aren’t constantly stopping at lights/signs or weaving through people. Where other cities have separated paths, Tokyo has them integrated with either pedestrians or vehicles

16:00 I think this is what many people are missing these days and should do regularly - just sit there at a beautiful, calm place and reflect on life and behaviour. People are always in a rush today, just hustle and money but as they always say, money can't buy you happiness.
