Dude, the hitchhiking trip was my favorite series that you did

[@TheBaldr]

I loved that series, one of the big things to make me book a trip to the snow festival when I first moved to Japan. It was awesome.

[@JasonZeppelin1]

Hitchhiking series is still the best series on KZbin.

[@Shane_2022]

I love Japan because it is highly developed, safe, and clean. People are also considerate and polite.

[@kydeanderic]

ya its nice

[@nikolairge]

Hey guys! I've been looking at my search history on KZbin and realized my first Kyde&Eric video was exactly six years ago. It was the "Bike Ride Along Tokyo's Yamanote Line". For some reason I subscribed to your channel immediately (which is something I rarely do after watching only one video). I have watched maybe hundreds of your videos ever since, and there is no other channel that was so interesting, informative a pleasing to watch. So let's celebrate my six years of me following the BEST vloggers ever. Cheers!

[@kydeanderic]

Nice, glad you found us! One of our favorite commenters! -E

The car is Probox and that is a phone holder. The design came from the era of flip phones. I assume they did not update it to save cost. Probox is intended as a company car so it is more important to be as cheap as possible.

[@graces1324]

wow! been long since you’ve been there. been to hokkaido 2x pre-covid and your previous vlogs on this played a huge part in my hokkaido travels. so nice to see new hokkaido vlogs from you guys!

[@pascallefevre1148]

As I commented before, best youtube channel ever.

[@Yesica1993]

THE HITCHHIKING ADVENTURE! That's why the name Hokkaido sounded familiar to me when I read this title! Yegads, how is it that long ago already?

[@danielwalker26]

I LOVE pickled plum. I have the hardest time finding it here in California. Only chance to get it in rice ball is to leave extra early to get to San Francisco's Japan Town before lunch.

[@kydeanderic]

When we moved to Japan it was the first thing I bought from the conbini in the airport. -E

[@deanzaZZR]

I'm an ume fan as well. If you are really into it, you can get premium ume boshi in department stores where you which have a variety of sourness and saltiness level combinations to chose from.

[@meyers3d]

Footage looks great. That new cam you guys got awhile back was worth it.

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, I made some small tweeks before filming this too, helped a lot.

[@marcod1600]

Yes Hokkaido again i think the most beautiful part of Japan! Nice video as always.

[@alkoop1009]

Yeah 🙌 from Hokkaido 🤗

[@kaceyng1502]

Just re-watched the hitchhiking series earlier this year! Fun continuity in the adventures!

[@travelswithblindcane]

Nice! Glad you made it to the lake. And yeah I'm pretty sure Monster, Red Bull and Rockstar all have guarana so Kyde saying it tasted like energy drink was pretty accurate lol. That waterfall was gorgeous! You have a lot more courage than I do, even before i went blind I wouldn't have risked it. But I'm a wimp. Thanks for the trip!

[@nickatkinson4274]

Long time subscriber, thanks for all your content, your vlogs are my happy place and really help my anxiety! ✌✌🥳

[@t15721]

I was also put in the very end room at Lake Toya I also agree that I really enjoyed your Hokkaido hitch-hiking video was excellent

[@ethanmandel2413]

A new series! AWESOME! I'm in Tokyo now... considering visiting Hokkaido to escape the heat. Although this week hasn't been too bad so far.

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, wait till late July / early August, then the weather gets crazy, an escape to Hokkaido then feels wonderful

[@IsonosDen]

The background area music in the beginning made it seem like you were mid way in playing a game, paused it and that's what's left playing lol

[@jan__q]

One could say that it was a "killer" view there! *aww yeah* ;) Love the adjusted picture quality in this one. Also: Guarana ftw!

[@etherdog]

Did you have any trouble finding accommodations during Golden Week in Hokkaido? You guys probably lucked out since the holidays were mid-week. Great commentary, as usual!

[@kydeanderic]

we never have trouble finding places to stay during golden week, haha.

[@servancastillo986]

Next time you hitchhike, or travel alone, I suggest you get a chain for your wallet that you can attach to your pants! like back in the early 2000s goth style.

[@kydeanderic]

haha

[@deanzaZZR]

Eric handled the whole no money thing and stress of a missing wallet like a YT travel pro. Thankfully some locals showed some compassion to help feed the nice, young man. Hokkaido is a unique place. The #1 onigiri flavor at the shop is shown as cheese & katsuo (bonito flakes). Hmm...

[@UnannouncedFart]

The hitchhiking series was my favorite, so I'm excited to see Hokkaido again. Looks beautiful there.

[@vincentoda194]

When you do the car videos, it reminds me of the time Eric was turning Kady’s seat heater on and she couldn’t figure out why she was getting hot. That was a good joke.

[@Dauwis]

Hi ! I have missed so many vlogs, time for catch up, thank you and be well...

[@florian_kopr]

thx, for another great movie

[@silviokawakami3906]

Glad to know about the guarana! Guarana is a little fruit from the Brazilian amazon rain forest ! Brazilians drink a lot the soft drink but a never saw with alcohol!! 👍

[@lars-andersjohansson6407]

Five years ago!!!! WOW!!!

[@alocino96]

garana, garana, garana, garana, garana, garana, garana, garana, garana, garana!!!

[@alkoop100]

17:25 The car is called ``Toyota Pro-box'' and is a business car also known as ``Ferrari for company animals.''

[@melissacoats6855]

I had a shower just like that at an Airbnb (though smelled fine) It was basically just in the living room... crazy.

[@Yesica1993]

I was already getting the creeps in the woods when y'all were looking for the waterfall. Super "Blair Witch" vibes. And then the _____ sign and bell! Toldya it was creepy! Get back to the car!

[@roarmaus]

41:31 I once saw a deer shimmy under a guard rail. No idea they could move like that.

[@porteiromendes8466]

Algorithm fooling engagement moment! Have to say that Hokkaido has a certain mystique for me (also due to the Pokemon games), and I still have to watch the Hitchhiking series one of these days. Loved Za Business, and the REM shirt

[@wemailbill2]

When Katie said, at the beginning of the video, that part of golden week was ‘people getting fucked’ I thought ‘wow Japanese holidays are way better than ours’ until she explained.

[@EvilAndy-os6bz]

I see people drinking beer with everything….. For sure. I drink beer with my beer ;)

[@TheBaldr]

Get some of that Kirin Guarana. I would totally want to live in Hokkaido, except for the winter part.

[@kurofune.uragabay]

Thanks guys. The view of the classic cone shaped volcano (Yōtei-zan me thinks) poking above the sea of clouds at sunset was indeed very nice, hope you took some proper snaps of that ...and another idiosyncratically japanese/east asia moment at that Oyunuma pond: crazy that they allow people to come right up next to what basically is a lake of hot sulfuric acid...

[@kydeanderic]

[@goblinpiper6665]

The moody music at 36:00 was super tight Eric!

[@stevecriddle]

"Let's observe!"

[@kydeanderic]

Lets!

[@katemckay6173]

Hokkaido in the summer time has been on my list for years, I think the hitchhiking series contributed to that, I would get a car or a van and drive around. If Japan ever lets us in without a chaperone

[@jooshungerecker-debruin5812]

Ha ha ha that was like showering in a fridge.

[@Offensive_Username]

36:01 Love the creepy 70s synth-sounding music. Own composition?

[@kydeanderic]

yeap

[@yogi2543]

I love Hokaido! I watched your Hitchhiking series at the same time as I watched an anime called "Silver Spoon", which is a story based in a Hokaido school. How can someone not fall in love? But... maybe I'm romanticizing a place I've never been lol. I don't care! I like what I like!

[@RamboltSangreal]

I think monster energy has Guarana in it too

[@kydeanderic]

Yea I think so!

[@davidice101artistdavideric7]

[@dayla8634]

Really guarana is hard to find? Most donkis, gyomyo, costco, and of course Brazilian places have it in the inaka.

[@kydeanderic]

it's becoming more common in Tokyo recently, but it used to be a "speciality store" kinda thing. Most of my Tokyo area japanese friends don't even know what it is.

[@dayla8634]

@@kydeanderic Yeah I guess those places would be considered specialty stores. Hope you guys are going good!

When I lived in Kyoto the Jupiter stores sold the Brazilian Antarctica, but it was pretty hard to find the Kirin stuff.

swamp

[@Yesica1993]

Hot springs were beautiful, but I know I could not handle that smell. It makes me gag. This is one of the rare times I'm happier to see something on a screen than being there. It's also interesting that they equate it with hell/the devil. Even in a country where Christianity seems to be in the minority, people deep inside know God exists and know that the devil and hell are real.

Kinda like all your videos. Pretty entertaining. I don’t know if you have videos going back visiting the US or not. Not liking the F word so much on Kyde. I heard them a few times now. Also in one of the videos, Eric you mentioned your junk was showing. But you used nastier words. Not cool.
