Kyde and Eric OMG this video was hilarious!!

has to one of the best LOL

She was beeping while you were sleeping? Kyde was trying to tell you something Erik PUSH HER BUTTONS

[@ChicagoTurtle1]

Sure seems like Japan is overflowing with tourists these past few years. My hunch is that this “school” was strictly conceived a tourist business. One big giveaway is, there’s a sheer lack of cogency. Giving any kind of lesson in any “school” isn’t as easy as some business people think. As it looks, it can be almost entirely non-sensical. The udon noodle cutting sheet is another clue. In research, it’s been brought up that people who tend to be monolingual and monocultural tend to have a harder time understanding other ways of seeing things. They don’t even check to see if every table got an egg. I shake my head. But on another thought, isn’t the pot of water suppose to be boiling before noodles are added?

[@hoonchinlim6314]

This is hilarious! Last drip of daylight? Insanity.

[@blueprintsymphonic]

I’ve been watching your videos all day

[@mimii3000]

Your Love Hotel room tours are always an adventure in itself! You guys have convinced me I'm going to have to experience an overnight stay at one at least once in my lifetime.

[@jdx911]

That udon “cooking” class seemed absolutely chaotic. LOL.

[@michaelducote2509]

Am watching this almost 2 years late, sincerely hope you sent some folks to that cooking school without explanation. :D

[@smpank]

at 42:00 it looks the kiddo is Manneken Pis, check it out here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manneken_Pis

[@autumnortiz6782]

Bestest episode! Well they all are great!

[@CameronWrightAZO]

Most often dough need to be refrigerated for several hours before cooking. That's why they gave you dough that was already "aged" and then let you take home the dough you made. Loved the video. Thanks for sharing it.

[@pozzo6828]

I enjoyed the udon bit immensely! The chaos, the madness. And two bowls of udon when I expected zero😅 and the place is really, really beautiful. Wow.

[@sammiibb]

So Good !. The only Channel I get excited about when the videos are even movie length !!!.... Giddy UP!

[@fortynine8774]

we love japan,espacially countryside.

[@nataliepriddle9909]

An absolutely hilarious video, loved it!

[@jamesong9408]

The udon dough Kyde made from scratch couldn't be cut/cooked during the class because the dough needs to proof/rest, usually for a few hours, beforehand; i.e., it wouldn't be practical for folks taking the class to wait that long before cutting/cooking. Another great video.

[@eelbo]

Gotta love those love hotels! Seriously, looking like a decent (hmm) alternative to hotels and airbnbs.

[@cakeswithfaces]

Really enjoyed this video! I read about the Iya Valley with the vine bridges and peeing boy statue in the book "Lost Japan" (and wanted to go there when I read about it!) so it was great to see it in the video!

[@kydeanderic]

Oh neat, cool you knew of that stuff! -E

[@stevo728822]

OMG, those boulders are signs of some serious earthquakes. Whenever you see very hard rocks with striped colours you know they are metamorphic rocks, created by immense pressure and heat when two of the Earth's tectonic plates crush each other. These mountains used to be the ocean seabed and have been squeezed up into the air.

[@Womberto]

What an incredible view at 25:08. I could look at that all day. Thanks guys. Edit - 27:40 isn't bad either, wow. Reminds me of Softypapa's old videos walking around the Japanese countryside.

[@chicagoguy81]

Hey kyde and Eric. Just wanted to thank you for the amazing content. I remember I found your channel from watching your first 711 video. When I saw Eric, he reminded me of my best friend I lost recently at that time to leukemia. So in a weird way, it was like watching my friend alive again living in Japan. I miss him a lot and watching your videos always filled that void. Thank you kyde and Eric for making these wonderful vlogs. Much love from Chicago. You guys should do another throwback 711 vlog 🖖

[@kydeanderic]

Thank you so much, glad we can brighten things up a bit for you from time to time. -E

5:50 the song is little apple by chopstick brothers, was popular with old lady morning exercise in china

[@kydeanderic]

That makes sense. -E

I was so hoping they never figured out what the BSM room was for and got one. The reaction would have been priceless.

This was just nuts from start to finish and I freaking love it, looks like so much fun! Definitely on my list of places to try to get to, the little train thing is amazing. Kinda doubt there's a ton of public transit though, but hey, I can totally go stomp some udon to Gangnam Style. Thanks for sharing, this was a lot of fun!

[@lgrbarnard2]

The love hotels are quite funny. Pay to get out. Love you videos.

[@donellemiller6680]

I believe that ride you took is based on cars Japanese farmers used to bring equipment and harvest up and down the mountains! Small rails and the cars are flat - used to bring bamboo poles down. So many farms were up in the mountains and the farmers lived in or near those little villages. Fun video, thanks for sharing!!

[@kydeanderic]

YEa, I know what you are talking about, you might be right!

[@HannahPhylaxis]

Did they say it was part of an onsen complex? Was it so you could do your forest bathing with minimal effort?

[@Jinjinajin]

Udon facts: the recipe really is just flour, water and salt 😁 the reason you were given a pre-made dough is cuz the dough need to rest overnight. If you don’t rest it, the noodles will break apart easily when boiled. Stepping on the dough is necessary because 99.9% of people don’t have the upper body strength to knead a dough as dry as udon haha and kneading is what give udon it’s chewy-ness To be fair, the class should’ve maybe explained a bit of this, to like….impart some actual knowledge of something lol Sorry for geeking out…as a line cook, I can’t help it 🥲

[@xxmightyonexx]

Listening while getting ready, will have to WATCH second half when have more time; very visual.

Oh my god, I can't believe it, I just noticed Eric was wearing a Smashing Pumpkins t shit! Not sure if it's dorky for me to point that out, but I'm from the 90's, I thought they were just brilliant, and I haven't seen anyone reference them in so long.

When I used to think of Japan, I thought mostly of the urban areas. I really appreciate that your vlog has showed me the incredible natural beauty! I mean, I knew it was a bunch of islands and that there were mountains involved. But you've really showed it to us. Thank you.

[@nikolairge]

Kyde's noodle jive was dope! 100% legit entertaining again! Cheers!

[@graycat10001]

LOVED that cooking class. My mind would have been blown. fun

[@Nelson4207]

The noodle class and monorail was something else. I'm glad E still has knees. XD The love hotel was very nice though! I wish we had those here in america. We have nothing anywhere near so modern and swanky. ;-) Thanks for the video. :-D

[@LancerJak]

That was the best love hotel ever.

[@kydeanderic]

Hahaha, I know, right!

Oh, I loved that train! I'm terrified of roller coasters but I think I could handle that. And the view would be worth it!

I agree. The monorail ride would have been more fun, if it had been shorter. But with the amount of time that passed, it made "Driving miss Daisy" look like "The Fast and the Furious".

What a ride, thanks as always for that beyond Somewhere Street experience 😃

My first thought when Kyde started jumping on the bridge was, "Don't lose your phone!" Then boom, flashback!

[@kydeanderic]

Good memory!

[@TheBaldr]

Something just clicked last night for me. Everytime I head Sakurajima, it had seemed familiar, but I had never been to Kagoshima. I had an annual pass to Universal Studios Japan, I remember it is the ward and the line to the train(the last stop) is called Sakurajima.

[@bernardyong7137]

the udon making class was probably catered for the chinese tourists. really enjoying your videos! thanks a million!

Great job, Kyde! That udon class stressed me out. I would have been so upset. LOL. It seemed like my worst nightmare - hate not knowing what to do - but you handled it like champ.

They auto tilt the seat on inclines because it helps prevent you from falling out

[@stevengold]

Great vid! Just found your channel. I'm moving to Japan in October (likely Kagawa) I know Kagawa is known for Udon but do you feel like they have other good Japanese food there? Like Okonomiyaki, Ramen, etc? Or do you have to go to Osaka for the good stuff :) Thanks!

[@kydeanderic]

It has all the normal stuff, but usually you have to travel to specific places in Japan to find the "best" of a special item. Shikoku is awesome, enjoy your adventure! -E

[@S春香]

I am guessing udon dough have to be left for few hours or maybe a day or so, before cut in to the shape and eaten, which is a common way to gives better texture to the udon. That is maybe the reason why the school didn't let you eat the dough you stepped on at the spot. I think they should explain it or if their English skill isn't good enough to do so, they must make a written paper or something to let you guys know what you are doing. (^ へ ^ ; )

[@kydeanderic]

I speak Japanese, haha, they didn't need to make any special sheets. The staff was just bouncing off the walls, it was a wild ride. -E

Is it just me or couldn't the big noodles Kyde cut be cut again to make them narrower? Is that some kind of faux pas in the Noodle making world?

That's what I asked, but oh well, we got two portions. Haha. -E

[@firehawk128]

They should have udon classes on the monorail. :)

[@TT-zd6nr]

As for that train, I was expecting it to disengage at the top of the hill and send you downhill at speed. I assumed that was why you needed to pee first :) And it as odd to see the love hotel info in English as we thought that was an essentially Japanese thing.

[@kellyrowe4075]

Ok this is officially the wildest video I’ve seen from you guys and the title is so unassuming 🤣🤣 Also when you were in that udon class all I could think about was comparing it to that really chill sausage making class you did a few years back.

Your videos remind me so much of the old Clive James TV show when he visited Japan, and the crazy alternative things he did. Doesnt' look like you have ever visited New Zealand yet, there are a lot of weird thing over here too but it is very pricey compared to Japan. Which is kind of ironic since when I was in Japan in the 90's, Japan was very expensive, but it doesn't look like prices have gone up since then.

Yea, Japan is a bargain these days! Wish to visit NZ someday, but yea...the costs. -E

[@jooshungerecker-debruin5812]

I heard there are now devices for women to pee when you aren't able to stop on the road. It is a kind of funnel with a powder that changes fluids into a gel. That would be a buisiness idea for the monorail giftshop. And to stay into the peeing subjekt, that little guy peeing down, looks just like manneken pis. He is originally situated in Brussels Belgium. He is very tiny but quite famous. If you visit Brussels you haveto see Manneken pis and be very underwhelmed. They now put real clothes on him, I don't know why.

[@kydeanderic]
