It's also exactly how a castle looked during the Sengoku Jidai, a majority of castles of the time, unlike Himeji and others, were painted almost entirely black. Had something to do with how black paint was very expensive at the time and only those who could afford to paint their fortresses in this color would do so.

Thanks for the video tour. It adds a lot to the video to give approximate prices. This looks like a hipster market I would imagine there is a lower level of markets with lower prices.

Mongol: and i took that personally

where castle dungeons???

Awesome video!

Location address please

Please, pronounce the T properly. It sounds awful when you say "Matsumoro" with a rolling R.

Nice video David.

Every British tv show in the 2000s

I dont see how a wooden castle was efective even back then when it was built... so easy to set on fire and burn everything

Is it that historic palace of death tower where Bruce Lee's Game of death movie was filmed??

Hi, new subscriber from Canada, looking forward your next video, stay connect 😉

amazing tour👍🏻thank you for taking us along

good

Great to learn about international residents setting up businesses in rural areas of Japan - I love Matsumoto, what a cool place! Thanks for sharing his story- hope he is still doing well - love all the reuse of old wood and furniture!

Oh i love crystals and golden spoons

I forgot the name of one of the castle name with a history of sacrificing people to build it

Watching Shogun with Richard Chamberlain right now. I've read the book three times. One of my all time favorite novel by James Clavell. And one of the greatest novels ever written. I've read Tai-Pan and most of his other great novels. I'm looking at Amazon and apparently there are a few I haven't read.

Way too many cuts on this video. I’m getting dizzy lol

God that's beautifu

You deserve 10 million subs 💯

I hope you posted more. ❤️

Nice place!

I find this place by random google map.

Matsumoto Castle is a very nice place! 👍

Soba Festival was the best I think :)

this is a very expensive market.......with trash

Talk so much video

...how 'bout that band?!?!

Excellent. Thank you

Martin is looking good. Nice to see old faces enjoying themselves.

No encontré nada interesante en esta pulga bye adios

They need to rebuild the palace.

Informative but calls it "Matsumodo", 4.5 stars.

I’m learning for my class

I love thrifting and antiques but japan is not a good place to find good real antiques at thrifts stores. Much easier in North American and Europe. Even worst, lots of “junk”, as one of the guys called it, is truly just junk and highly overpriced. Most of those people sell for fun, they make little to no money with that hobby. Which can be on the buyers side because Moste of them don’t really know how much their stuff is worth. Most is, as I said overpriced but sometimes your lucky and find something that’s massively underpriced.

3:51 awkward

Fibreglass and bow = strong nope from me

Awesome Vid!! I loved this amazing vid. SO BEAUTIFUL! So many cool things to see in Japan. When you were being chased by warriors was a ROFL moment. Thanks dad!

This video is so well put together

7:25 those are kokeshi dolls. Souvenir toy dolls bought from hot springs in Japan :)

Thank you for your efforts on this video! I actually recreating a Matsumoto Japanese themed man cave! I even found cultured stone that mimics the walls! This video has given me lots of ideas!!!

Nice video. I loved seeing real Japanese culture. Would love to go to Japan one day. Keep making these videos please.

I was listening to your accent and couldn't place it, it's not Canadian and it's not typically American. It reminded me of Fraser and then you mentioned you grew up in Seattle, so would that be an average Washington state accent?

No, samurai did not bother to carry a weapon for suicide, on them. They were never that eager to kill themselves, or to prepare for it. Sure they were more ready to do it than most, but not nearly as much as we (including the modern Japanese) are led to think. The shorter swords, were used as a backup (mind you, the longer blades were also backups. The primary weapons were bows or spears ...or naginata), or in tighter spaces.

this guy look like the actor from "HERO" , the guy that hiro trap him into casket wasn't it?

I enjoyed watching this video. I have an interest in opening a cafe with my sister in Fukuoka, but what was the most difficult part of starting up your own business?

4 mins to draw a bow?

I miss you!

It is my dream to go to vintage flea markets in japan :((((((
