[@drewbinsky]

What's your favorite place to go in Japan? Mine are Okinawa, Fukuoka, Kyoto and Tokyo! Let's use this comment section to share Japan travel tips and advice, so everyone in this community can benefit :)

[@Ichika_Official]

I love your videos their great keep up the good work❤

[@nedoopacaktheboygamer2810]

I haven't visited Japan yet but i would love too i love this country🇯🇵

[@KaylaCosmos]

Osaka! Also Yugawara. I found a $20/night Airbnb there and had a whole house with a nearby river. And the beach there is amazing. It was an unexpected find 💕

Hello Sir Drew japinoyfun here watching from Takasaki, Gunma Japan🇵🇭🇯🇵❤️

[@johnscasa7603]

As someone who lives in the beautiful Japanese countryside, I disagree with anyone who believes that all parts of Japan are “futuristic”. Yes, places like Osaka, Tokyo, etc. might have things that seem futuristic, but don’t let that paint a picture of all of Japan. Thinking that all of Japan “futuristic” is like thinking all of the US is like New York City and Los Angeles.

[@corpsmankind]

Exactly. Also automation to this degree removes human interaction and jobs, leading to less connection and purpose, a recipe for mental distress

[@user.hsaaki]

Yeeeeees!!! 本当にその通りなんです！

[@debuchy413]

What will humans do when there are no jobs?how will we earn money

[@corpsmankind]

@@debuchy413 it will either become a utopia with universal income or a dystopia with ultra wealthy companies and a meaningless suicidal population

[@bingusman69]

is there nothing else to do in the "beautiful Japanese countryside" that you have to amuse yourself by complaining about shit that isn't offensive? stop crying about nothing

[@auraak7702]

Japan is way ahead in technology and Drew is way ahead in making travell vlogs. You are amazing Drew, your compilation, narration, unique topics and the clarity is really good.

[@drewbinsky]

Wow, thank you!

[@willdanger6833]

Japan is not way ahead in technology

[@joakimmelander8483]

I've been living in Nagoya, Japan for almost 4,5 years. Been to 40 out of 47 prefectures, both as a tourist and resident. Here are my favorite hidden gems in Japan; all of them highly recommended: Ichinomiya, Aichi Utsunomiya, Tochigi Hofu, Yamaguchi Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Kashikojima, Mie Matsumoto, Nagano Kurashiki, Okayama Kurama, Kyoto Asahikawa, Hokkaido Kofu, Yamanashi Ibi, Gifu Same as you, I always emphasize to my students the importance of understanding that 99.9 percent of all people anywhere in the world are good, friendly, and welcoming, no matter where you live or who you are. Everyone is equally important. Looking forward to more Japanese videos.

@@drewbinskyDrew you said Afghanistan was one of your favorite countries to visit. Since the Taliban take over many KZbinrs have visited like Lord Miles, Bald and bankrupt and MaryJane and all have had a good experience surprisingly with them. My 2 questions are will you consider going back to Afghanistan? Second question is would you be willing to talk to other KZbinrs about their experiences with the Taliban and their travel in the country?

I have lived in Japan since 1988 and it has been so much fun to see some of the technology in Japan sore ahead while still hanging on to some old school items as well, such as the fax machine. Great video (like all of your videos) and and yes, the post office .... it took me over an hour to mail a book, yes, A BOOK, once. hahaha

[@segfault1361]

The biggest surprise in this video is capsule hotel rooms costing $100 USD a night. The average standard hotel room was cheaper duringmy visit to Japan (in Nov 2023, it was $115 CAD/$83 USD a night)

[@drewbinsky]

I was surprised too

[@NicoleCzarnecki]

I think that a combination of human and robot staff could be useful. I agree, though, that a complete lack of human interaction is “scary”.

[@dvgolf9915]

That staff in robot hotel is creepy af. I couldnt be there lol

[@Mr.Lightshine]

Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever. I'm Praying for you and you are loved (Romans 10:9-13)

[@MichelePonte]

I've never felt comfortable in capsule hotels. I wanna stretch my legs, but I am too tall and the space is so limited! And sometimes they cost as much as a tiny less modern room with a shared bathroom.

@@drewbinsky yes sir, travelers they better be shorter than taller :)

[@drewbinsky]

It helps to be short !

Kyoto hands down is my favourite place in Japan, the mix of old and modern, Arashiyama and the temples are amazing and my favourite Ramen restaurant is in the Gion district, love Japanese though and can not wait to go back! Question for Drew, when are you going to come do a proper tour of Australia? Would love to show you Perth.

Hi Drew love your you tube videos...I was watching the one on North Korea and you said you would never go to North Korea again but you are a man of hope I am sure seeing your videos so can we hope and pray that one day North Korea will become at peace and unified with South Korea. I believe a lot of Koreans and peacemakers all over the world hope for this. It happened to the Germans hoping it will be happing for the Koreans so one day we call all visit the north and south in Korea without any worries. Hoping for Peace and Unity for Korea North and South!!!

[@dianadelgado0818]

Drew can u make a video about worst to best airlines please i would love to see ur opinion

[@ChristaNetel]

We just came back from Tokyo and highly recommend a sushi restaurant called Sushi Ro. There are several locations and they are all fantastic. You order your sushi on an iPad and it gets delivered on a conveyor belt right next to your table. The whole place has a super happy feel to it, the sushi is delicious and the people who work there are all really friendly. Try the wacky new types of sushi or order the kids plate, which comes with a coin for the Gotcha machine inside the store. Enjoy!

[@101342533]

I still find it crazy that before the world war 1 they were isolated and they became one of leading countries after that war

[@WeBeCourageous]

I was there in 2017, Gundum Factory and Mount Fuji were great! The arcades, as you mentioned, were next level! Subways were cramped though! Awesome video!

[@techinzicht]

This country looks like my favorite country.

[@DaneReidVoiceOver]

I recently visited Japan and I love it. But it is not living in the future. It was living in the future 20 years ago. But China is way more advanced than Japan now. Japan looks like what we used to imagine the future to look like. I still really enjoyed it and recommend any traveler visit there. I will be back

[@jelena1771]

Right? I went there for the first just a few weeks ago, and despite many automated things and smart houses, some things I would say are more advanced in Europe. There is a small % of these kind of places everywhere around the world. In Japan it is also small %. I think Stockholm,Sweden has many staff-free shops. However, they are like from a different planet when it comes to people's mentality, behavior, discipline, cleanliness... and incredibly beautiful gardens.

[@AgroDolceMB]

Favorite place in Japan-Kinosaki! It's an onsen town where we stayed in a traditional ryokan. Such a cool experience. Also the Shimokitazawa neighborhood in Tokyo is super charming.

[@esthersdaughterlong8149]

Japan is amazing. They are way ahead of most Countries. I'm not sure I'd want all of that in the USA. It sure takes away job's for people. Thanks Drew.

[@babsywoman4212]

That automatic basket cash register: we have it too in Belgian Decathlon stores.

[@willoolliw]

Hey Drew, awesome video! Your channel is top of the game. Also got a question, what lens do you use?

[@Meowhsss]

2:13 Put that automated store in any large US city and it would be totally looted in about 5 minutes

[@TheZacman2]

All of these dangerous places the world left behind, and now Japan. I love the variety.

[@Mineman268]

I think you got a pretty terrible deal on that capsule hotel. Anshin Oyado in Shinjuku cost me $45 a night, I could stretch my legs as a 6’2” 187cm tall guy, came with free food, drinks, and alcohol, had great capsules with thick mattresses, good shelf space, good ventilation, had a real power outlet, check out time was at 12PM, and the sauna and lounge were great. It’s also less than a block away from Shinjuku station.

Japan has less younger people so it makes sense to automate. However overall supermarkets in some European countries these days tend to have less staff and have more automated cash registers due to the higher salaries.
