Exploring Takasaki in Gunma! (in Japan!) (in the rain!)

Intending to avoid some Tokyo heat with a trip to the mountains of Gunma we were hit with a day of rain. No bother, we spent it exploring Takasaki! Rusk factory, Takasaki Spaghetti, and a motorbike ride around the soggy mountains made it good!

I remember one of the first videos I saw by you guys years ago, Kyde explained how she went to the pharmacy like a week or 2 late to pick up her birth control and they were freaking out and scrambling to get the prescription redone so she could get her medication... Now years and 3 kids later, I come back to see if you're still making videos and I'm pleasantly surprised! I'm not obsessed with Japan as I was as a teenager, but I'm happy you still take us along these journeys around a beautiful country. I dug out my "teeming with life" shirt a couple days ago and just had to check up on you guys :)

[@kydeanderic]

Oh, awesome, thanks for dropping by! Congrats on the family! -E

[@girlzie945]

Love that daruma temple. I absolutely love seeing themed temples and shrines. Even that vending machine was on theme. Excellent 👌

[@danielwalker26]

I miss the days when height was measured in Erics.

[@malice41414]

I always enjoy Kyde's impressions of mascots. I especially liked her impression of the skull on the black flag you had in your last apartment. Hilarious! Great video and great pasta!

[@cyansixiixi1056]

yesss, a new one dropped, today is good day

[@cvodb]

Fun trip! I’ve been to that daruma temple. I think once a year they burn a bunch of darumas. Always wanted to go back for that one day.

[@kydeanderic]

Oh that would be a wild sight!

[@mtwhatley3253]

I had to make a second comment about the hydrangeas you saw. I have all three types growing in my garden. The one you commented on is called lace cap. The other types are connical and mop top. The have huge bloom heads and quite beautiful in early summer. You should visit the e Enoshima candle lighthouse. I believe it’s surrounded with areas filled with hydrangea. You might have visited already. I want to visit there soon.

[@kydeanderic]

def been there just not when they have been in bloom. it's on the list now!

[@thesurfinsuricate]

The motorbiking channel sounds like a great idea! Will def check!

[@brvl20121]

thanks Kyde and Eric and yes it was fun to watch great video

[@greensky01]

@7:56 Kyde’s quintessential Japanese “Oishii” moment after a delicious first bite. Lol😊

[@bradaltemeyer4472]

Wow, That sign concept is pretty common inside of individual factories (days since last loss time accident) Amazing to see it out there as a concept for improving traffic safety! Cool!

[@bobburt]

Hearing the older music from your earlier videos feels so 😌🤌🤌🤌

[@IbraBurma]

4 days to fill a prescription 😮 nope I am not moving to Japan lol. Love the video 😅

[@kydeanderic]

OMG

[@martenlundin]

Nice adventure!

[@etherdog]

Nice to see these cities with your commentary! The container hotel looks the the R9 The Yard chain, but I couldn't tell which location you were in.

[@kydeanderic]

haha, yep, you found it. maps.app.goo.gl/Wet9bKqs94zNavxJ6

[@craigchastain7016]

I laugh not at culture, but at approx 16:07 when Kyde talks about the eyes of Daruma. My Japanese I teacher brought in his Daruma from when he was in the JET program and this kid drew red lines in the eyes to make it look baked. The teacher flipped his shit: "WHO DREW ON my DARUMA!" The next thing you know the teacher had him painting the eyes white with Liquid Paper.

Got a house just down the road from Takasaki, which is quite a neat town. Nice people, too. At 200 metres rather than 1,000 metres, it's a lot warmer in winter. Hot in summer, though. You could check out Maebashi for Costco and Ikea, presupposing you have transport. Cheapest petrol in the prefecture. Jack, the Japan Alps Brit

[@kydeanderic]

yea, we live in a town with a Ikea actually: Tachikawa! Enjoy Takasaki!

[@davidice101artistdavideric7]

Feeding the algorithm ❤

[@girlzie945]

All hail the algorithm! 🙇‍♀️

[@vennom14]

Looks like fun

[@marcod1600]

Again loves this channel! When are you going outside Japan again?

[@kydeanderic]

we are in Mississippi right now actually! headed to NYC in the morning!

[@nataliepriddle9909]

I love Takasaki, will be staying in that container next week haha

[@kydeanderic]

Haha enjoy it!

[@mtwhatley3253]

8:30 I knew it!!! Kydes a fembot. I saw her internal light flashing. 😂 enjoying your content as always.

[@deanzaZZR]

Trying to generate excitement about Gunma is not for the faint of heart ...

[@kydeanderic]

It's got some amazing spots!

[@obake3175]

Shipping Containers?

[@kydeanderic]

ya

[@obake3175]

@@kydeanderic Or container ships? :)

[@pssurvivor]

rusks are very popular tea time snack in my part of india too

[@kydeanderic]

oh neat!

[@Offensive_Username]

Eric doing the slow TV thing now.

[@Fredrikgaard]

The Koban at Chiba station is definitely recommended, if you want a weird looking police station.😉

[@kydeanderic]

sounds fun, kyde would love it. a lot of them are weird looking haha

[@greensky01]

@8:40 Eric’s “Oishii”

[@formerCEO]

I've noticed free curry often doesn't come with adequate side dishes. I've been saying it for years.

[@misterc5783]

Dinner time viewing sorted. Pop in, give you the view. Pop out. Pop back at dinner time 😂

[@denmaakujin9161]

Never ask for another towel for another person, gotcha 😆 just ask if you can have another towel for you.

[@kydeanderic]

now that's thinking with towels.

[@misery13666]

Unrelated to the video, but I miss the old intro music.

[@kydeanderic]

A common note haha

[@sydneyshinshi]

It wasn't honesty that cost you. You didn't know till you asked for the missing towel, by that stage you were done.

[@2catstrooper]

Pasta in Takasaki is horrible. And I live here.

[@tanjem]

Anshin oyada have free curry too ..
