About the biscuit lady weirdness: I had a similar experience walking alone in Ikebukuro and a group of ladies came up to me and started giving me advice on food, then proceeding to ask me questions about who I was and why I was in Japan. Then they wanted to invite me to have lunch with them but I felt so weirded out and got a bad vibe so I declined. Later on my boyfriend looked up common scams in Japan and it seems like foreigners are sometimes lured in to things like these and then tricked to pay for food and then charged waaaay too much money. I don't think the biscuit-lady had a scheme like that in mind but the weird vibe struck me the same. It's easy to think japanese people are always kind and friendly (because most are) but I've met a few creeps while walking alone in Tokyo.

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

Shinrinkyo also did stuff like that, IIRC they lured people and pretty much imprisoned them. The law protects religious groups so they abuse it to do all sort of crazy things, up to murder.

[@tsamlynx495]

If you look at the video in which he encounters her, there is a comment from someone who met the exact same lady and they invited them into her house and it was sort of like the cult thing he mentioned, nothing bad happened to her but it’s a tad strange and not advisable.

[@christophermichael.w.7577]

It doesn't sound like a nice thing to do to someone,but as far as crime goes It's not that bad.I would feel pretty safe there.I live in a really violent city.

[@enmiart2586]

@@christophermichael.w.7577 I was never worried about crime while living in Tokyo and I always felt safe no matter the time of day. I was surprised by the amount of very straightforward "pick-up-artist" types. Guys who just came up to me to ask about my name, where I lived and if they could have my contact details. I had gotten the impression Japanese guys were generally (stereotypically) shy but I've never been chased like that anywhere else and it kind of freaked me out :S

[@BlackVeilBridesKat95]

Ikebukoro is where I got invited to a Buddhist cult temple by some random girls. Nothing bad really happened but the whole thing definitely gave of unsettling vibes

My man! Tatsuro Yamashita is one of my favourite ever artists at this point. In fact no word of a lie I'm currently listening to Solid Slider (well I was but paused it for this video, obviously). I'd also recommend people try out Toshinobu Kubota if you like Soul / R&B. Also Minako Yoshida. Her album "Flapper" is so good. Also for more 80s pop, check out Minako Honda, Mariya Takeuchi, Kaoru Akimoto, Toshiki Kadomatsu, Takako Mamiya, Taeko Onuki and Tomoko Aran.

We had stopped to get a rest and admire the autumn colours of a tree where we were resting. After a few minutes of that, a group of Japanese people approached us and started engaging in small talk with us. They seemed friendly enough and asked us to take a photo of them. Just before we left, they handed us a card. It wasn't until I looked at the card that I realised that they weren't just random nice people. They were trying to recruit us into their religion.

Chris your ''daily'' videos are getting as legendary as my ''be there in 5min'' ....

[@MrFrakYou]

To see one of my favourite channels uploading so frequently towards the build-up to my Japan trip is amazing. Also glad Sharla is still here, these vids have forced me to subscribe to her too.

[@rajibkhan7365]

I've been clicking on this channel every hour to check if there's a new video. Can't wait Chris! You're one of my new favourite KZbinrs now 😊

From twitter today "Sorry on the delay for the latest video guys. I’ve been battling a cold the last three days and the next video is nearly all in Japanese and so I’ve had to dedicate a day to doing subtitles alone!"

That last question though 🤔 people were curious about them two i think back then too 😅

[@micden00]

In japan, if u r hiking, cycling especially when u r going to travel around japan the local will treat u very well, giving u food or drinks, cheering u up, a friend of mine travel around japan with a bike and everytime he talk to a strangers about wt he is doing and going to do, the locals will usually excites by this act and support u. The custard snack was something like that, I love it.

[@edmxop2611]

Just watched this Video and OMG Sharla is here! I've always been watching her videos to study English when I was learning English in Victoria 5 years ago. She is from Victoria BC and feel a sense of familiarity. Have fun!

[@ckinzi6465]

i love the dynamic between you to

[@Temojikato]

Everyone like Chris, or me, needs a Sharla in their life even though their happiness scares us 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@wowowee69]

Can you do a vid when you go back to UK? Introduce the Broad family?

[@Julitrexx]

The amount of unplanned, cool things happening in the videos of this trip are far and beyond what I had imagined before you set out on it.

[@bradbozz6807]

No lie, I've enjoyed these more than watching TV 🤣 your journey across Japan has become my goto 👍 keep up the new series!

[@Ichigoeki]

Now that I think about it, I had a weird interaction with a middle aged japanese woman too in when I was 22. I was waiting for my clothes to wash at a coin laundry, when she started chatting me up. I made a passing comment about wanting to go to an onsen at some point, but that I didn't have time to during this trip. She started offering me a ride to one that was supposedly close enough to walk to. This offer of hers weirded me out immensely, since no Finn would ever offer to drive anyone they just met anywhere, barring actual hitchhikers. Turned her down, finished washing and drying the clothes and returned home. Still don't know if I should've just took her offer, just to see where it lead.

Probalby a cultural Thing. I Few years ago a Was in the US for work and had to carry my groceries home in a snow Storm... A guy stopped his car and offered to bring me home...the german in me was like "thats Kind of fishy... People beiing Kind to strangers" and declined...but i am 100% certain that the guy Was just nice and i was an idiot for declining...

[@keysersoze3427]

Ha! You just reminded me of my best friends. I met him when I was stuck in Mikkeli and after striking up a conversation with him he drove me to Helsinki.

[@ReptileGirlRocks]

[@kukkajukkanen]
