Did you think that claw machine was a scam?

[@Neptune.Gaming]

“As long as I win on the first try.” Famous last words. 😂 RIP bank account.

[@annapayne23]

Definitely a scam.

[@Anuhea_Silverheart]

From my childhood's experience about those claw machines, my best advice is: ”Don't wast any single coins on them!” Those claw machines are nothing less or more to fraud people's money away.

[@swissfoodie3542]

I think all "luck games" are a scam. Personally, I am against everything like that (even if like here, it is harmless), because that kind of "luck game" can ruin a person and make them make horrible things.

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

They all are rip-offs but CDawgVA does pretty decent when playing them.

[@Bonn1770]

The shaking rage over the claw machine was the best part.

[@experience_japan]

Haha, glad you enjoyed that part! Those machines can be so frustrating!

Great travel video as always...Japan never ceases to amaze me at their cleanliness, organization and vending machines...so many vending machines 😆

I just found your channel a couple of days ago, I love your videos so much. I can't travel, so thankyou for letting us travel vicariously through your channel! 😊 this one was just beautiful to watch. 💜

Glad I found this channel. I use to watch another channels of someone riding ferries but his was done during the pandemic so wasn’t that many people aboard. It’s nice to see it with other travelers as well. Thanks

Another fantastic trip! Thanks for taking us with you ❤

[@experience_japan]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for coming along! ❤

[@Squirel]

What a fabulous trip this week. The scenery was spectacular. I love travelling by ship so I really enjoyed the ferry. The cabin was spacious enough for 1 person but for 2 it would have been a bit cramped. I knew you wouldn't be able to resist the claw machine but they are very slippery plus the ship's vibration would also be against you. Everywhere you went, the food looked delicious and I hope you enjoyed making the video as much as I enjoyed watching it. Thank you for this amazing adventure.

[@experience_japan]

I’m so happy you enjoyed the video and the scenery! The ferry was a great experience, and you’re right about the cabin-it’s perfect for one but might feel a bit tight for two. And yes, those claw machines are always tricky! Thanks for watching and joining me on this adventure!

[@peacefrogx5143]

Great video again. You promised me some more sea food and you kept your word. I really enjoyed this film, so many interesting and new things to see. Thank You!

It's a very silly thing,the legend you mention tells us to live a good life and enjoy it to the last. The main character lived in a paradise for one hundred years while keeping his youth,he only aged at the end of his trip. In other words...he did the impossible. The steam is for you to remember that your life is still yours,until the end we all face. Nice trip,glad you had fun.

Happy belated birthday! I’ll definitely have fun for you-sending lots of love and good vibes!

[@swissfoodie3542]

What a great video, thank you so much ! I would love to take one of those ferries. Not because they are time effecient or cheaper than flying (which is not the case at all), but for the experience. But unfortunately, as I get very badly sea sick at the slightest little wave, and than cannot stop being sick (and no medication helps), I will be just enjoying videos like this :-). I find it great, that those ferries often have public baths, a game arcade, and in the best cases, not only food vending machines, but also a restaurant.

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

I get seasick too, even on calm water and on a lake 😂

[@experience_japan]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! It’s unfortunate about the seasickness, but happy you can still experience it through videos. The public baths and arcades are definitely a unique touch!

[@julez3161]

i got seasick on a cruise ship so sick lol

[@wakcedout]

I’ll still same I’m amazed by the Japanese concept of making the bathroom a universal drain room. Has to make clean up very easy and efficient. Making it not feel awkward like in America when you’re showering and all of a sudden get the bubble guts lol. That and I kind wish we could have the same toilets you bunch have. Makes cleaning up after number 2 so much simpler.

[@experience_japan]

I totally agree! The Japanese concept of having a universal drain room makes cleaning so much easier and more efficient. And yes, the toilets in Japan really do make things simpler after a number 2. It’d be great to have them everywhere!

[@missvalerie4040]

One Piece is one of my favorite manga. I was actually watching it on Adult Swim. Absolutely love Tony Tony Chopper. That ferry ride looks amazingly magical. Thank you for sharing your experience with us .

[@deadfox852]

I always feel so Jealous when I watch one of your movie's, It's probably because I always feel like Tourist's just Vist the big city's and Akibara Then go home. Where as you show us all the Little thing's that make your home So special and Share the Story's behind them. I agree that claw machine was a Scam, then again most of them are at least here in the state's, they used to be about .50 Cent's but have recently gone up to over 2.00$ Thank you for sharing the Lore behind the train and taking us along on the Ferry ride! :)

[@experience_japan]

Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad I can show you the little things that make Japan special. And yeah, those claw machines can definitely be a scam! They’re getting more expensive here too. I’m happy you enjoyed the lore behind the train and the ferry ride!

[@jaehaspels9607]

I love your ferry vids. They're so cool. If I was in Japan, I'd definitely ride one. When I was young, I went on a lot of cruises so it kind of reminds me of that except my rooms always had a balcony. It was nice to be able to check the weather right when you woke up. Too bad there weren't any vending machines on those ships.

[@experience_japan]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy the ferry videos. It’s great that you have fond memories of cruises, even though they didn’t have vending machines. Riding a ferry in Japan would definitely bring back some of those memories for you!

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Looks like a wonderful crossing, and a great ship! I'm jealous of the experience, honestly. Last time I rode a ferry, it was about three years ago, sailing from the Australian mainland to Tasmania... the waves were as high as 12 metres tall, and everybody was _very_ sick. I think it was then that I realised that I'm not one for ferries.

[@experience_japan]

It sounds like your last ferry experience was quite rough! I can understand why ferries might not be your favorite after that. Hopefully, one day you’ll get to experience a calmer, more enjoyable crossing like this one!

[@annettestrahan8366]

Loved this! I totally agree the claw machine was a scam! 😊

That would be my luck with the claw machine; no matter how recently I’ve eaten, I always want to eat the wonderful foods that you show; what a lot of fun, thank you!

Nice decent size cabin/room. Those claw machines are very hard to walk away from. The ceiling projectiles was incredible. I personally would purchase a fridge magnet as a souvenir.

[@nancyann1090]

I'm from California, USA and I find your videos so fun. The Japanese culture and places are so interesting to me! Dragon Ball Z and Naruto are so incredibly popular and I am not sure One Piece is the same as that. But it has been growing, especially since Netflix came out with the live action One Piece. I also think anime may be more popular than manga. However, Japanese manga is bigger in America than the American comics. Japanese manga completely beats out Marvel or DC comic books now!

[@experience_japan]

Thank you for watching! I’m glad you find Japanese culture so interesting. You’re right, anime and manga have really grown in popularity in the U.S., and Japanese manga has definitely become bigger than American comics like Marvel and DC.

The ferry looks so cool, and your room looked small and COZY! Yeah, I know of One Piece! Thought 4Kids here where I live ruined the anime for me, so i am so far behind that I don't bother to watch it. All the foods looked super yummy, the thing I want to try is the pudding! Also sorry for my absence! I have a new temp house I moved into recently, since moving to Japan got delayed because of my needed surgery! Am back now though!

Aww, I was thinking the turtle did him a favor by not making him live a whole long life when no one he knew was even alive anymore...he got to see 'his future' but in dying soon as an old man, he didn't have to linger in the 'I wishes' and the 'what ifs' :)...just my two cents :)
