[@jenniferkubo3374]

Interesting chioice for eating on the train. What you ate was mochi (pounded sweet rice) covered with mashed azuki red beans cooked with sugar. It is eaten as a desert or snack, one piece at a time. The whole box is not meant to be eaten in one sitting. If you drink green tea with it, it is pretty tasty. I am really enjoying your adventures in Japan. In two weeks, I will be in Japan...can't wait!

[@RaeAnn_1202]

I came to the comments to find out what he was eating. Thank you for all the information. Safe travels and have a wonderful trip!

[@angelaquesnel7546]

Does Google translate translate the words in the paper? That would be super helpful! Not sure how anyone travelled before these tools, especially Google maps!!

[@averylfong4843]

@@angelaquesnel7546 He was holding the paper sideways actually, because traditional Japanese is written vertically and read from right to left! Which is why the kids' books he found at Disney were "flipped" R > L and the text was also vertical/top to bottom. With some screenshotting/angle finagling I'm sure the text can be read!

[@nish221100]

​@@averylfong4843 Yes, w/o too much finagling, Google Translate can translate vertically written Japanese.

[@emfunTravel]

Thank you! I came to the comments to find this answer!

[@harmonvlog]

It appears to be that you need to hear "you are great". You seem really homesick. Thank you for sacrificing your time and missing your family to bring us these videos.

[@sheepupatree5482]

"To be honest I'm not even sure it's food" really tickled me lol. I'm not one to laugh at other people's misfortunes but your meal on the train really did give me the giggles lol. I'm feeling second hand homesickness for you now, I wish your family were with you on this adventure ❤

[@missmartylynn]

You're such a trooper, Chris. Being wet for a whole day, or more, rides closed, being alone, tired, don't know what you're eating, probably malnourished. Little helper hint: Google translate does an ok job at digitally reading Japanese script. Just scan the written characters and let it do the work. Safe travels coming home. You are awesome!

[@WheelieConfused]

I appreciate these videos as someone who has done a lot of traveling alone. It can be exciting and incredible to build new memories, and also feel isolating. And there’s nothing wrong with experiencing and showing all of the range of emotions that travel experiences bring us. I am so grateful to have collected my own experiences when I could, now that I no longer can. When you get home, and for years to come, these funny food experiences with gray skies and your spare eyeglasses will become good memories. Thank you for letting us laugh and bringing us along. I promise, you will eventually laugh too.

[@nish221100]

Chris, what you got first for lunch was "bota-mochi" (also called "ohagi") it's very soft mochi (rice cake) with mashed red beans around it. It's considered a dessert and typically eaten with green tea. "Green Car" is the former first class, now business class; the "Gran Class" is the new first class. You were lucky to see Mt Fuji since often it is clouded over. Tokaido Shinkansen which you rode on is not maglev. That's the Chuo Shinkansen which will hopefully come on line in 2027. Anyway, appreciating your videos! (Yes, You are awesome, too!)

[@NylonCrane]

It's Akafuku. Similar to Botamochi but personally I think it has more of mochi texture to it.

[@jugatsu23nichi]

oh man!! you ate O-Hagi I think or something similar! Its mochi rice surrounded by sweet bean paste. I don't particularly like it by my wife and kids who are all Japanese love it! On the box it said they were famous to a certain region. You are a brave man!

[@AishaMau]

Your face and "I really wish I knew what I was eating" are PRICELESS!! I have tears of laughter from your experiences! SO glad I stumbled upon your videos - I'm binge-watching them all!

[@paulineamakres7286]

Baby doll you have many many many days of binging ahead of you! Each year gets better than the last. Do your self a favor as your watching the current ones, start binging at the beginning, the oldest video you can that way you can grow along with us all! BTW disneyland at home during covid is priceless. Watch that one several times

[@provostparkpass]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@barbehrhart]

I’m so impressed how you are getting around in a foreign country where you don’t speak the language. It sounds like the locals are friendly and helpful. I don’t know if I could do what you are doing! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!

[@mushieslushie]

Google maps.

[@Undrave]

It's not that hard to navigate in Japan if you look up your train station in advance enough. There's English everywhere. I went on my own with a few words of Japanese and no wi-fi and I was fine. It's all about the prep.

[@johnyesberg3602]

Japan is an easy place to get around . A few Japanese words help and a little prep is a great help . The Japanese people are very friendly and helpful which makes for a great experience if you get a little lost

[@nish221100]

Exactly. Finally, although many Japanese are reluctant to speak English, they read and write well enough to communicate. Google Translate is always getting better, too.

[@katiefitbrit]

Japan is so friendly and so many speak English. I'm going back with my daughter soon as I feel so safe and comfortable there 😌

[@drumphil21]

That box of purple food looked disgusting. However, when Mt. Fuji appeared......that was spectacular!

[@pizza-pizza]

Might have been eating "mochi" which is like a rice based dessert 😅

[@sheilaahumada6647]

YOU Are THE AMAZING ONE !!! Thank you so much for all you do !!! I know you are missing your beautiful family . God is Good because He made You !!! Amen !! God speed back home soon!!! ❤️🙏

[@Dahkie111]

Mt Fuji!! Whoa! How cool!! 😮❤

[@skynet40433]

Oh, Chris 😅 You bought a box of souvenir dessert gift for lunch! I wish I was there to help you navigate the food there! You're such a trooper 🙏

[@Undrave]

I just realized you went all the way to Osaka and didn't try takoyaki at all! The Osakans would probably be upset with you! It's like one of their signature dish!

[@raypierce5818]

Lol… step 1: ALWAYS have Google Translate on your phone. You can point the camera on your phone at anything and it will translate it in the picture! It’s also great for language as you can type anything you want in English and it will sound it out in Japanese for you. We spent about 2 - 3 months on tour in Europe last year and being in a different county every day. It was invaluable! Just point it at a menus and Voila!

[@shimaohana]

I’m sorry, I was laughing at you eating the mochi. I grew up in Hawaii and we ate this a lot. It was purple because of the azuki bean. I can imagine viewers not familiar with this food we’re grossed out by the ooey gooey aspect of it. It more of a dessert. Glad you found something else to eat for your lunch. Loving your travels abroad to Japan. It’s such a lovely country. Can’t wait to see your review of the capsule hotel. I’m 6ft tall, so I know you are much taller than I.

[@whosoever9198]

“ I don’t even know if it’s food” 😂 It looked like sticky rice cakes. It’s more of a snack than a meal. It might’ve been red beans which made it dark colored.

[@schubertiad]

I'm glad that you made it to Japan. I hope your challenges didn't sour you on the country, because it really has a lot of amazing stuff to offer. I hope there is a next time for you. I will say it's so much easier (and more fun) when you have someone either local or experienced with Japan who can help guide you through it, at least until you have a few trips under your belt. It would be cool to do a collaboration with a Japan-based KZbinr so you can get some insight into various things, and also get exposure to other viewers who may be interested in what you do.

[@funnymanatee]

We loved your exchange with the cast member in Paris! Would love to see that with a cast member in Japan or youtuber.

[@debbralehrman5957]

You are Amazing too! 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@susandavis7390]

This. Blew. Me. Away. Wow wow wow. Thank you Chris!!! I know that solo travel feeling of 100% anxiety and 100% thrill.

[@aisharuiz3016]

I'm enjoying every single video, please know you are appreciated. You are so kind, selfless, spirited, respectful, and humble. I'm so impressed and amazed at your willingness to experience the unknown and try new things in unfamiliar places. How brave of you to eat something you had no idea what you were eating. Priceless - I couldn't help but laugh. Thank you for taking us along with you! You must be so tired, missing your famiy, and homesick. And now Amanda is off to Florida! We appreciate you, Chris! 🤗

[@lalalauraann]

You are so brave! I would be so terrified to travel so far from home by myself!

[@felipecasillas4921]

I think I was happier seeing you getting the box of food on the train than the. Canoe. CM

[@provostparkpass]

🤣🤣💚💙

[@markgreen361]

The song at the end of video.😂Epic

[@goldenshamrocks5]

😂😂 Thank you again for showing your reaction to the red bean mochi dessert. It’s one of my favorite snacks, but yeah, pretty sweet and not for everyone! I almost wished I could’ve been sitting next to you so I could eat it too!

[@pizza-pizza]

Chris, your "Mochi Meal" is on me!! 😅

[@provostparkpass]

Thank you so much!

[@shadowofameow]

You don't have to cook mochi! It's a pounded rice dessert 😊

[@bigredwic]

OMG 😂😂😂😂😂😂 my sides ache from laughing!!! Chris you rock!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@ootuoykcuhp21]

It's call Akafuku Mochi. One of my favorite snacks in Japan.

[@jenniferlee2266]

It looked like it was Mochi Red Bean Paste..Your expression was priceless.... You are a good sport... Loving these videos. Thank you .

[@heatherlp4818]

Mount Fuji!!! 🗻

[@sharh8437]

The food, oh my goodness I’m still laughing and also slightly terrified for you😅. You are so brave to try all this travel and experiences on your own for all of us, and you remain positive and optimistic throughout, amazing! Thank you for your videos! 🤗

[@Adam-gm6of]

Awesome you got to see Mount Fuji, its known as a shy mountain. When I was out there I took a day trip out to see it. So awesome and a wonderful experience. That first thing you ate, have no clue what it was, sorry. I had that problem too, finding my right line to take. Once I found it it was easy but finding it was hard. A couple of times some people saw me lost and pointed me in the right direction.

[@Superchomama]

Positive Message in vlog +1, Awesome outro song +100. You rock, stay positive.

[@irbeej]

Alright! Dessert first and only desert for lunch! :)

[@fionakennedy8465]

I’m shouting at my iPad-don’t eat that Chris. !!!!!!!!!

[@gogobabydoll1697]

Chris! You bought a sweet treat. That's sweet Red Bean Paste with a Mochi in the middle. Definitely not for breakfast and that amount is good to share with the whole family with some Tea. 😅

[@provostparkpass]

Oh my gosh I had no idea. Yes I can see sharing it with a nice cup of tea. 💚💙

[@heidijones8218]

Chris you are a trooper. You got this and you are doing great. The stories you will have to share with your wife and son will be priceless. Keep up the amazing attitude. You are appreciated.

[@chadstephens2720]

When you went to eat I was waiting for the "Whaaaaat!" So fun to see your travels. Thanks Chris!

[@suzyq5865]

Wow!!!what a powerful Ad on this Video about Teen Image and Social Media. First time I ever watched an Ad all the way through. Also Shared it on my Facebook page. WOW!

[@hulamamma5330]

OMG you had me dying 🤣😂 you had no idea what you were eating .. you're such a trooper!!

[@adventureclub904]

YOU! make the world a better place. Your words of encouragement always makes me tear up a little. Your caption totally made me crack up (you had dessert before your meal!). Can't wait to see your capsule hotel experience!

[@anniehayes5336]

❤ Aloha Chris, just wanted to let you know how truly awesome you are!! ❤

[@sararobert8536]

How cool seeing Mt Fuji!!

You saw Mt Fuji?!?!?Awesome!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 You had a rough go of it at times Chris😢 It’s tough when things don’t go as smoothly as you’d hoped for. Please know how much I have enjoyed your videos and appreciate how you kept going despite the struggles. You are amazing Chris!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@ladaragwin4804]

You are so adventurous!! I would never buy food if I didn’t know what I was buying. I was laughing so hard at you saying “I don’t know what I’m eating?”😂. You’re the best!!

You are amazing! I appreciate you and your videos. You are always positive and uplifting. Thank you for making my days better!

[@tamerasyniec6621]

Thank you for sharing. The train was very interesting and Mt Fuji was beautiful. 😮❤

[@nf1nk]

This is great stuff Chris. We appreciate the hard work you are doing here. You make it look reasonably easy. I prefer the Toyoko Inn chain for my tiny cheap Japanese hotel needs. They tend to have a good breakfast.

[@uscbigdawg]

You’re doing so great Chris on this trip and home is on the horizon. God bless you on the trip home and thank you simply isn’t enough for the work that you and Amanda do for us. We have taken and are planning a few trips based on some of the info y’all have shared. 🤞we run into y’all at the park some time. Oh! I’ll send an email through your site but have a gift for you.

[@triciap3803]

Chris, you are awesome and bring so much joy to everyone. Thank you for all you do and the wonderful videos you share with us all. 😊

[@tomklock568]

Thank you! What an experience. Who’d ever think of seeing Mt. Fuji with their own eyes? Wonderful.

[@staciewing2827]

You are such the world traveler! Watching these made me go watch your Paris trip this year! So good and entertaining. Thank you for sharing your journeys! And making us laugh with unknown food and your endings of each vlog. 😅😅😅

[@esthermontoya6681]

I'm so proud of you. You are awesome and amazing! So glad you got to have an opportunity to get something to replace the first food box. Keep safe 🙏

[@igottadragon3070]

I had a hard day at work and after i got home i watched your video. I laughed so hard when you opened the first box!!!! Thank you for gifting me that moment of happiness. You are amazing. And i admire your ability to travel to japan for the first time by yourself. Not an easy task. Wanted you to also know i laughed along with you when you lost your glasses. Your ability to stay positive is something i admire. Thank you!!!!

[@rolypolyrabbit8324]

I have been loving all your Japan trip videos!!!! One of these days I will finally get to go. I luv all your positivity throughout your trip even through some mishaps… lol I wouldn’t even be able to eat a whole box of mochi/azuki bean dessert as a meal. Keep the good spirits and positivity up! ❤ You are awesome!

[@Arianaree]

A piece of you will forever be in Japan now…. Your glasses lol

Good shot of Fiji. It's usually so cloudy that you can't see it at all.

[@alfredoespinosa4084]

Hi. Enjoying your videos. I just came back from Japan myself. If you have time you should go to the Tokyo sky tree. Awesome views and also they have a special thing going they’re doing for the Disney 100 celebration. They have special merch also

[@santanafamily448]

You in Japan has been amazing to see. Enjoying all the videos.

[@chantellprettyinpink]

I always love hearing your encouraging words. I am going through a rough patch right now so this was great for me

[@Sam-02024]

When you said, "I really wish I knew what I was eating," I could totally relate! What an adventure you're on 😀The capsule hotel - can't wait to see what that's like...

[@CharHardy82]

Just wanted to thank you again for this incredible Japan series. I am going through some very tough times at the moment and am struggling to cope. Your videos each day have been such a warm hug and both my husband and I have loved every second of your journey. We've felt like we were there! You make me tear up every video with your words of affirmation. Please know that they are sent straight back to you and your beautiful family! ❤

[@jugatsu23nichi]

Oh man!! At 14:48 you past by my old condo, one of those 2 large towers out your window! So cool!

[@alexgeewhizz]

i’ve been to japan on a few different solo work trips so these videos are bringing back a lot of good memories lol. such a unique feeling being by yourself in a foreign country. i’m loving the travel vlogs more than the park tours lol!

Thank you David. 💚💙

Wow! You got to see Mt Fuji! I’ve ridden past it two times and never saw it, due to weather. Thank you so much for the view!

[@atomicbru4717]

Chris - thanks for the awesome videos and your perpetual positivity! If you get a chance, try eating at a ramen stall…they seem popular w locals.

[@Gotoh1999]

Ahh Chris I wish I could have helped you while in Japan. I’m an expat here. Tokyo Station doesn’t have a Tokyo Metro (subway) station. It’s only for Shinkansen and JR lines. You would have had to leave the station and walk to a smaller station. Google Maps and translate are your friends.

[@provostparkpass]

Ahhh I wish you’d have been with me 💚💙

[@gaylerex2752]

Amazing! You took a few more bites of food even though you didn’t know what you were eating!! I just had to laugh with you! Your expression was priceless!! Thanks you made my day! Have fun!😊

I was so confused 🤣🤣

[@cindywells9119]

New food sensitivities nightmare unlocked.😂

[@wayneconklin6097]

I stay at the 9 Hours in Narita whenever I am traveling through Japan, with a connection to somewhere else the next day. It is not only affordable, but very convenient. I also get the best sleep in those capsules. Hope you enjoyed your stay!

[@gstevens6948]

Whoa, sweet when that train pulled in the station.

[@brads4667]

Great video. I have always wanted to go on that train. So glad you are on this trip. You are amazing as always

[@TheBaldr]

8:50 That definitely looks like Anko with mochi in the middle, which is weird because it usually mochi filled with Anko.
