I LOVE EXPLORING IN JAPAN! - Back Street Discoveries in Matsudo | JAPAN WALKING TOUR 2019

[@CoryMay81]

I hope you really enjoyed this walk with me! I had a great time filming it. Remember, if you don't have 1 hour to watch the entire thing in one sitting, you can always stop the video and come back to finish it at a different time. Don't feel obligated to sit through the entire video in one sitting if you can't! Also, please watch the video at a high resolution if possible. 720p is the minimum resolution, but I'd suggest 1080p or 2K if your internet can handle it! With that being said, what were some interesting things you enjoyed seeing along the way? Let me know in the comments!!!

[@awkwardaquamarine19]

If I wasn't so flat broke, I would've taken you up on your offer to visit Japan, Cory. You really should be careful, you know. LOL! Anyway, I loved this walking tour, especially the part where you stop to "smell the flowers" every so often and swoon at little doggies. Always looking forward to the next walking tour. Cheers!

[@CoryMay81]

Glad you enjoy those little quirks I add to the videos. Flowers and dogs are awesome! hehehe Thanks for commenting!!

[@awkwardaquamarine19]

@@CoryMay81, what you call "quirks," I call adorable. Please keep doing what you do. We'll keep on watching and commenting. Cheers!

[@tutorzhinang9797]

Hi Cory, Nice to see your video again in JP, one suggestion, Could you put more information like the weather/temperature , time/date in your video? I think some people like me will feel more enjoyable to watch the whole video with those information in it

[@jh96797]

I have to say for a country where most homes, especially in urban areas, are small and built so close to each other, I’m surprised that many homes in your area are huge and are spread apart. Also, that museum full of antiques was very awesome. I could probably spend hours just gawking at all the nostalgic things that are displayed. Awesome video as usual! 👍🤙

[@agoogleuser8764]

I personally enjoy the "bouncing" in the videos it makes me feel like I'm really there. I'm loving your walking videos I find them relaxing and exciting at the same time! Great quality too Keep up the great work :D

You are my new favorite Japanese walking channel along the likes of Nippon Wandering and Rambalac. I enjoy your added layer of commentary but most importantly; a unique perspective on everyday Japan. Thanks again for sharing and I look forward to you content!

[@CoryMay81]

You're welcome! Those channels are also really nice and high-quality footage. And they don't really talk or investigate things. I still enjoy their content, though. Thanks for leaving a comment! I've got many more walking videos to film and share!

Loved the old houses/roofs and the shrines... bamboo rocks ! It's quiet there and beautiful … we need all that ( plus the humanity too sometimes ;-) ) Great vid !

[@jlewsf]

the first time I saw vblogs of u-tubers walking thru Tokyo neighborhoods I was surprised how little or narrow the sidewalks were.

[@CoryMay81]

Land is at a premium, plus many of the original streets of Japan were narrow to begin with, as cars and other large vehicles didn't exist. Now-a-days, the tiny cars have no problem navigating tiny alleys and what not.

[@jaywyse4720]

Great video! I’ve never been to Japan. It looks fascinating and beautiful!

[@christinekim361]

Funny, as the train was going by at the 41:00 mark, a train was going by the exact time near my home. I love the museum with all the interesting artifacts. It was so cool, too bad he wasn't selling any of it. There are some huge beautiful homes in the area. Must be very expensive to live there.

[@CoryMay81]

haha What funny timing huh? He seemed to only be selling the handmade birds in the glass cabinet near the entrance. I would have loved to have been able to buy some things in there for my apartment! I don't know what the property value is here. It's probably much cheaper than in Tokyo though. My rent is a whole lot cheaper, which is why I love so far out from central Tokyo. I'm happy. 😎😎😎

[@jemimaphillips6864]

Gorgeous!

[@Kaimicah77]

The ojiisan's museum was very neat, it was like snapshots of another time. It's unbelievably quiet through and through the neighborhood. I can't imagine quiet like that here! Also, good social manners not walking and drinking at the same time I see you lol 😊 very chill video

[@gypsytaechatelaine5145]

Thank you, Cory - Totally enjoyed this walk. Love the manicured bushes and all the flowers. The exposed intertwined root system of the twin trees @35:12 was simply beautiful. The man connecting with the earth through the trees touched my heart and set off quite the emotion inside me. Not sure if being an *old hippie* has anything to do with that, but yeah. Hahaha! But really, overall, this was one of the best you've brought to the proverbial table. Quite the finds throughout. Love all you do, my dear friend - Blessings to you and yours - Gypsy

I don't think he did the eagle. It could have been a different artist. The guy's art is the pumpkin paintings, miniature houses, and the colorful bird things out by the candy.

I enjoyed the video and I also love exploring backstreets. I really enjoyed your videos in Seoul too. Kabukicho has some crazy narrow alleys that I will go explore soon! Yurakucho and Shinbashi also has some but I'm guessing some of them could be destroyed because of the olympics.

[@CoryMay81]

Back streets are great, right? Always cool stuff to be found. I appreciate you watching the Korea videos too! I will eventually make walking videos in the central parts of Tokyo, but for now I'm enjoying these suburban walks and stuff away from all the tall buildings and crowds of people.

I have said it before and I will say it again you are the best tour guide we have ever experienced. You make everything sound interesting. (I love the term "crowdy") Anyhooo brilliant vid and see You again real soon.

[@CoryMay81]

I don't really plan these videos. Sometimes I just look at Google Maps and see a destination, and then just kind of walk randomly towards that. Or other times, I just walk somewhere, and then randomly start filming without any destination in mind. Crowdy is real! hahahaha Thanks for watching!!!!

Do you use the walking up on Google Maps out of curiosity? And in Japan do they still not have real addresses or has that been rectify? Thanks for your vids may your walking shoes always be cushioned your direction always be clear end excitement around every corner!

[@CoryMay81]

I'm not sure what the "walking up" thing is on Google Maps. But I do use Google Maps often to get a general sense of direction, as well as save all future restaurants I want to go to... or other places of interest. To my knowledge everywhere in Japan has a real address. Was there something that said some people didn't have an address or something? I definitely need some proper walking shoes, something worth investing in. Right now, my cheap knock-off Nike shoes from Vietnam are working but they aren't comfortable. I need to do some research now that I live in a country that sells legit shoes!

I think I may have finally found the man on KZbin I have been looking for... LOL. I've been dying to have somebody really examine the exterior of Japanese homes, all the nooks and crannies. The gardens that take up like two feet. The parking spaces that are angled and the fencing. What's Behind the Walls Etc since you've lived there if you ever visit family who have this kind of Japanese exterior going on if you could get permission to really film up close several different homes that would be great. I've looked all over KZbin and can't find anything like that. Secondly could you please do a video on how the hell Japanese people are able to park in such a way it looks like they will never be able to get out again. They are the most expert Parker's of anyone on the planet thanks!

[@CoryMay81]

LOL Well, I'm glad I am the type who likes to investigate a lot of those things that you are interested in. Sorry I don't do it in more detail though, but if I did, the video would be 5 hours long. hahaha Japanese learn to park like that because of how premium space is. Parking stalls are sometimes more narrow than what you find in other countries. It's just 2nd hand nature to drivers here. I first learned to drive in Japan back in the late 90's, and I kind of learned to park the same way. Always reverse into a stall, and make use of your mirrors. hehe

I was curious . Do individual people own the vending machines that are on their property or is it private company's? Does the home owner get a percentage of the sales?

[@CoryMay81]

That's a question I'd like to find out too. I've seen vending machines literally in people's driveways of their home. It made me wonder if they get a % or what... If I find out, I'll let ya know.

[@superchatoalien4905]

Yes home owner gets a percentage from beverage company or individual people buy beverages and sell on their own vending machine.

i have a question is Japan cleaner then the place you used to live in?

[@CoryMay81]

Cleaner than Vietnam? Definitely cleaner. Like a thousand times cleaner and quieter too. ^^

[@lakakakakjsjsjsjs8066]

Cory May Ty i was wondering that all day XD

[@CoryMay81]

Japan is cleaner than Korea, but Korea is still clean for the most part. Both countries recycle and sort their trash. it also depends on where you go. Both countries have places where there is a lot of street trash.... but in general, Japan and Korea are clean countries. Korea's air pollution is worse, though.

[@lakakakakjsjsjsjs8066]

does japan have air pollution or is there a no pollution?

[@plicketyplunk]

I think it is a thrift shop and you have to bargain. :>D And I am ready to go!

[@CoryMay81]

Unfortunately it was just a folk village museum, housing items from the late Edo period up until the 1940's, according to the website. But I saw many things from the 80s and 90s as well. So I think it's just a well-kept collection of random goodies. LOL

[@mickg8333]

Nice!!!

[@CoryMay81]

Thanks! ^^

The streets are so narrow...they don't appear to be one way. How does that work?

[@CoryMay81]

In Japan, small streets are a normal thing. Land is at a premium since most of the country is mountainous. Japan is full of tiny cars as well, which helps navigating the small streets. When two cars come upon each other on a small road, one gives way for the other to pass by. That's the norm. Sometimes it turns into a battle, because everyone is so polite, they always want the other person to go first. hehehe In other countries, in that kind of situation, people would be fighting to go first with a "me me me first" mentality. Not in Japan.

Today is Star wars day here lol..may the 4th be with you

[@CoryMay81]

May the 4th be with you as well! Did you know Mark Hammil went to the same school that I went to in Yokosuka, Japan? He was a U.S. Navy brat like me. His drama and theater awards were in the main office display window from the late 1960's.

Omg that’s me too! “This drink is amazing, it’s probably really bad for me” *checks sugar content*

[@CoryMay81]

hahaha I know right? It definitely can't be that good on its own.... or can it? 😂

[@albertguntinas1897]

I really love this video. I guess you try to stay away from caffeine because of your anxiety issues. I don´t know. I´m just guessing, but I suffer from anxiety attacks and caffeine doesn´t mess me up. Alcohol clearly does, but not coffee. That´s just my own experience as a guy about your age.

[@CoryMay81]

Thanks for enjoying the video! Yeah, I noticed that when I drink coke or other drinks with lots of caffeine, my anxiety goes up a lot. Same after drinking alcohol a lot... the next day is very uncomfortable. In general, I'm just trying to avoid those types of drinks and enjoy more tea and water. 😁

[@brandontuck6750]

A water monitor?

[@CoryMay81]

Yessss! "Monitor" lizard was the word I was looking for. hehehe thanks!

[@nghiatrinh2639]

[@CoryMay81]

Thank you for watching! ^^

[@DavidHunter]

Really loud BEEP for the swearing ruined the chilled vibe and gave me a heart attack. I don’t mind swearing but if you need to remove it just dip the audio rather than do that again, please, lol. Nice video. I’m going to Tokyo for the first time at the end of the month/1st week of June, cannot wait to just wander backstreets like this.

[@CoryMay81]

Sorry about that. I'll make sure to lower the volume of the beep next time. You're going to really enjoy Japan! Definitely, get lost on purpose! It's the best way to explore!

[@nothingspecial12344]

do you know what the writing on the road is?

[@CoryMay81]

It depends on where you are talking about. Some say the zone speed limit, some stay slow down.

[@D126iana]

Yeass fly me in pls ;D

[@CoryMay81]

Let me win the lottery first! hahaha
