Chris your channel is why I went to Japan. I've traveled extensively in Europe, but never really had any interest in Japan until I came across your channel a few years ago. After watching most videos twice over, I went with a group of friends last year for 3 weeks and absolutely fell in love with the country. Most places I have a "give or take" attitude towards - I've seen it once and am indifferent to returning. Japan is the one place I IMMEDIATELY started planning a return trip. Watching your guides to the cities inspired me to take my elderly dad to Nagasaki and Fukuoka, where we had some of the best moments of our lives together. I tried taking him to your bar in Tokyo on our last day, but unfortunately it was closed due to a covid outbreak. We both plan to go back next year and try again, this time exploring Hokkaido! Thank you for all you do.

They come from Japan for up to 5 years at a time only flying home maybe twice a year to see their families until their tour is up. There are very few Americans that would ever do that. 16 hour days with no days off is not out of the question either.
