I Went To Yakuza Locations In Real Life

Thanks so much for watching! I apologize for the camera quality, I was trying something new and I still need to work out its settings. Regardless, this one took a long time so I really hope you enjoy it!

I can't believe they made kamurocho in real life, the Yakuza series must be really popular there in Japan.

Nice! I went a month ago, Dotonbori was bigger with the repetition of the same restaurants and it was very crowded. Kabukicho too, and the streets are more crowded than expected. While Yokohama was heavily condensed in game, Yamashita Park and the Bar District are very, very faithful.

[@SpaceSquid]

i wish i did yokohama more, i went to see the gundam which was super sick but not really into “ijincho” thanks for watching palpatine

[@sheevpalps3846]

@@SpaceSquid Yokohama felt the most peaceful and chill by the way, the blend of Chinatown, the Park, and the skyscraper district allowed for a really cool feel that I think more touristy areas like Dotonbori or Kabukicho can't capture. And for sure, hope you do more videos :)

Well... you should look under traffic cones more often.

[@IssyMomentTTV]

As someone who lives in the middle of nowhere, virtual tourism like in Yakuza and Assassins Creed is one of my favourite activities. It's so cool seeing the real life analogues in videos like this, so I can't even imagine what it's like to actually take a look in person!

[@SpaceSquid]

that’s so true! i live in the middle of nowhere as well, so travel is like my favorite thing to do. i think i have enough footage to maybe do one of these with assassins creed!

[@jntngndz]

Reverse case for me. Never played any Yakuza game but it’s been on my backlog since forever. Been living in japan for 9 months and I didn’t know it used real life locations. That makes me eager to play the games, I lived for 3 months in Tokyo and 6 in Osaka, and I feel at home in Kabukicho and Dotonbori especially.

[@f11bot]

When you said small channel I thought you were joking, super cool video! There’s nothing like the Yakuza games, can’t wait to someday visit the real places!!

I went to kabukichu last year with a friend of mine, it was pretty cool to see places later be used as an iconic landmark in yakuza, I didn't stay very long but I'd love to revisit it again in the near future, sadly there was no majima everywhere system

[@HeathenRenegade]

Last year, I was out with some friends at a restaurant they liked, and we ended up walking straight through Kabukicho on the way back. I didn't realize it until I was between several familiar landmarks. I did take a picture of the Don Quijote, but I didn't make my friends stop for anything else. I ended up walking back through maybe twice before I left Tokyo. Got a pretty good picture of the gate from right outside the station. Most touristy thing I ever did lol

[@SpaceSquid]

it does feel pretty touristy, i wish i got more video footage but i didnt wanna be like THAT touristy lol

[@kai_gaming_89]

[@The_Soup42]

I went to japan about a month ago, and I went to kabukicho multiple times. It was always fun to know my way around the place and walk around to see all the night clubs. I mainly wanted to try out girl bars. I went to 2 of them, where one, the girl only knew japanese and the other one, the girl knew english. The japanese one was a bit rough, but the english one was nice to talk to for an hour. It's also funny everytime when some japanese guy walks up to you asking if 'you want sex'. My real highlight was going to Onomichi. I loved that place so much, and Yakuza 6 really modeled it well. I will see every part of the city, and be like "no way, I remember that part of the town" to the street mall with a roof, to the really tight sidewalk on the road next to the hill. But I went to Onomichi to specifically check out Senkoji temple. There were a LOT of stairs, but I was too excited to see the temple so I just ran up them. And I gotta say that it was worth it. The Layout of the temple is extremely accurate to irl and the view is amazing. Next time I visit Japan, I will mainly check out Sapporo and Osaka.
