[Japan Vlog] Introducing How Much Money I can Make as a UberEats Driver in Osaka

Since Uber Taxi driver is only for professional taxi drivers, UberEats is really popular food delivery part time job in Japan now. You can be an UberEats driver as long if you can speak conversational Japanese, so it is really popular job for international students as well. In this video I worked as an UberEats driver for 3 hours in Osaka, and I show you how much money I can earn, and how the day in the life of food delivery service worker looks like in Japan.
In the result, unfortunately the total hourly earring was less than minimum wage in Osaka [964 JPY/ 8.76 USD], so if you are thinking to being an Uber driver, maybe you'd better check other part time job..
(It was used to be good though.)
Hope this video was interesting for you, and you could learn Japan life and the culture!

[@MrWhiterunGuard]

I really hope your youtube career takes off soon. I would be careful about using certain musics in your video since there are people out there that will flag it if they feel it is copyrighted. And I don't want you to lose money from your videos.

[@RionIshida]

Arigatooo for your sweet words!😊 Yes, I am paying for the music copy right (please check the video description for the link)😉 Thank you! Ganbarimasu😆👍

[@j.j.q1379]

great video

[@RionIshida]

Arigatoooo ^^

[@glenn8452]

I think you would make more money being a tour guide one day a week. Morning meet up, tour, lunch, tour and end before dinner....

[@RionIshida]

I will try🤣👍

[@deathbycake7637]

I would so book a tour with Rion.

[@terihere6537]

Me too!

[@WetPokey]

Rion can speak good English and pretty expressive. He can do private eating/show tours in Osaka alone and it well worth the effort. Tourists will love his in positive enthusism and learn much more than those group tours. I know I will be one of his first customers if he ever offer that service.

[@syifapujianti2962]

good idea, u should try it and make a packet travel

[@Thom5972]

Even though you earned little, you are still smiling. Keep shining Rion!

[@RionIshida]

Sweet! Arigatoooo😆👍

[@JeremyLara]

To all who’s watching Rion Video, please don’t skip the video adds, because that’s were he can earn more money through those adds thanks guys 😊🤙

[@RionIshida]

Arigatooo for your supports! Ganbarimasu😆👍

[@JeremyLara]

I think being a tour guide is your best option for extra money, but never give up on youtube, your so good at it and very intertwining, good luck and stay safe 🦁🤙

[@TokyoPaul]

No money!! Good topic keep it up!

[@pabskiedasco7378]

Once the world is free frm virus il let u know wewil visit again in bunkyo japan..RION what airport is nearest to BUNKYO?

[@ethannadinemariel]

You are so cute Rion. Do you have a girlfriend? ;-) Do you gett tips as an Uber eats driver in Japan?

[@Purrrtle]

Hey Rion love your videos! I think it would be cool if you did a one off video where you only speak Japanese with subtitles! I think it would be really cool!

[@RionIshida]

Sounds good! I am gonna think about the contents for it then😊

[@fazzyakamello]

Aww man. I need to start tipping my Uber delivery guys, even though tipping is not customary in Australia, your video made me realised how little they earn. Thanks for THIS video Rion!

[@BroCharlesnm]

Facts no money especially in US

[@JGP_SH88]

Nice video but i think to make a better comparison, you SHOULDN'T deduct the cost of the snack, curry bread, from your earnings - only the gas expense. if you worked for 3 hours at another part-time job, you would STILL need to take a break and eat your snack.

[@RionIshida]

LOL🤣 Good point! and I also should calculate the motorbike's insurance cost, and bike's depreciation😊 Just make it simple and fun, it's not significant I thought😂, but Arigatooo😆👍

[@Marquisje]

Hello Rion, thanks for posting these videos! My name is Bjorn, I'm from Belgium. I normally visit Japan twice a year but now it wont be possible due to Corona virus, we are not allowed to travel :-( Which is why it is extra good to see videos like this one where we can still see how every day life in Japan is going. Keep up the good work!

Happy to see Thai restaurant open in Osaka. It's delicious smell came from a lot of herbs.

[@marsolinantonio8966]

In Okinawa we give tips to food delivery worker. I think it’s rude for some Japanese workers, they take pride in what they do.

[@joannejocson]

im so happy when I you mentioned Spirited Away. it is one of my very few favorite japan cartoon movie. i can no longer count how many times i watched it.

[@RionIshida]

Haha, Yes that's one of my favorite movie as well😆 Really interesting story with beautiful pictures!😊

[@lakt2136]

Is Japan open yet for tourism ? Wow Uber eats very active their ! You speak very good English also

[@silentsong2923]

We recently got uber eats in shizuoka, I tried ordering recently but the service was terrible and I didn't receive my food. I didn't realise the wage is so little even in Osaka, I have more empathy for the uber eats drivers now, thank you for your video 😊

[@silvaexpress2872]

Hello i'm an Uber delivery from Brazil, does your app do not show the location of the Restaurant and the customer, adress? Here it shows, so i usually choose nearby restaurants, It helps saving gasoline. Btw nice channel, It was interesting for me to see how It Works in Japan 😄

[@gosikh]

Thanks, Wow, only 500 yen per hour. That is not good. Why would anyone work this?

[@knockouti]

You don’t make money because you don’t really need it…. I do Uber eats only Saturday and Sunday in Aichi and i make ¥35,000 ＋ promotions = ¥48,000…

[@alexp5493]

Maybe something changed? Today was my first day as Uber delivery driver and i made 4200 in 4 hours. 13 deliveries on a bike. Abiko station Area.

[@indahood555]

As an Uber driver in Japan, do you have to pay income tax too?

[@RionIshida]

Yes, if you pass the certain income amount😉

[@kaitovillar5046]

Good luck on the path you chose! As long as you're happy, content, and able to afford your lifestyle. You'll be fine! Would be great if you did brush up in history and did tours for English speaking tourists. がんばってよ!

[@Namidagr]

in Greece it is the same. The tari drivers didnot allow the uber, so if you use uber on Greece it will fetch a taxi for you

[@HawaiiJapan808]

Keep up the videos. Can I hire you as tour guide for a few hours when I go to Osaka? thx from Hawaii

[@RionIshida]

haha, Arigatooo for your sweet words😊 Sounds awesome! Please check my website " rionishida.com "😉 Take care and stay safe😊

[@JayCee2020]

Wow I thought Uber only picks drivers that are close by. I can’t believe it. I actually thought about doing it before but to be honest, I’ve never seen a girl delivering so I hesitated.

[@MeowMeow202]

Do it! We have Uber drivers from all walks of life. I’ve seen an elderly husband and wife team in their car. I thought is was to keep themselves occupied after retirement. Wife had the phone and husband did the driving.

[@JayCee2020]

@@MeowMeow202 Driving too? I definitely have to get a Japanese license for that then. However, I always heard it was difficult to obtain one. But it would be nice to travel in a car within Japan ..

is it okay to give tip in ubereat? I know tipping in Japan is not usual, however there's a tip in the app and im not Sure if its not rude to give one I order.

Maybe later on people use uber more in Japan. I make really good money here in the states doing uber eats.

[@elmalanmalan2175]

I live in tokyo can I use my kei car to pickup and deliver the food? Also can you explain the pickup process more detail?

I only speak basic Japanese so you mean I can’t be an Uber driver?

brother how i can contact with you i need some information about japan

[@ujjwalthapa414]

hello Rion Ishida san, I am also international student and i also want to do delivering job, I have some queries on food delivering jobs. If anyone have "gentsuki license". In gentsuki license , a moped (or scooter) is anything that is equal to or less than 50 cc in engine displacement. Then Can he drive the delivering moped (esp. used japan) which is generally used by mcdonalds, KFC, Pizzahut.? I mean, Do you the exact cc of the delivering moped which is used in japan? I am waiting your reply (help) in this pandemic situation.

[@RionIshida]

Hello, as long as less than 50cc you can drive with Gentsuki license, and generally speaking those mopeds are under 50cc (many part-time job worker can drive)😉

[@AdvisorDanny]

Excellent looking forward to being back in Japan just as soon as the restrictions are removed I wish you a good upcoming week

[@AdvisorDanny]

I appreciate it and look forward to returning to Japan as soon as possible 😀

[@oliberrr]

Not a good comparison since you did not deduct regular expenses of working for minimum wage jobs such as food also and cost of transportation. But in your Uber job, you deducted them.

[@RionIshida]

Usually most Japanese food restaurants cover the transportation cost for workers, and many restaurants provide free meal called "Makanai" in Japan😊

[@oliberrr]

@@RionIshida Wow! Good to know.

[@skyllo]

This looks like a very hard job. Also to save money you will need to keep making plenty of food at home and bringing a portion of it during deliveries.

[@MeetJ0Black]

Is that a super cub? Nice bike.

[@p4ttl344]

Damn, that's a really bad wage but hopefully your youtube will take off and you'll be making thousands of dollars a day

[@lioness77alfar]

That has to be better right now not to pick up people just deliver food ... As most people pay by credit cards over cash ???

[@jeanj753]

I am unsure how Uber Eats works over in Japan. Here in South Africa once the delivery is made we have an option to tip the driver/rider through the app. I imagine this is where they make most their money. However, I know there is no tip culture in Japan, does this include Uber Eats?

[@RionIshida]

Very interesting!😊 No tip system in UberEats Japan, that's why it became really low income...🤣haha

[@jeanj753]

@@RionIshida Well keep at it! I am sure your channel will be super popular pretty soon. I remember your video where you said by the end of 2020 you want 10k subscribers. At this rate you I am sure you will double that goal

[@MartyDittmar]

No tipping in the Uber or Uber eats app in Australia either..

[@karanjoshi2662]

Idk about uber eats but In India we have similar more popular ones like zomato that have tip system just in case but we don't have Tipping culture so I don't think that they earn a lot from this but I guess small tip is still something.

[@Kosumbais]

How about the cost of owning, service maintenance and annual tax of that bike in Japan. You haven't calculate it yet. Or is it provided by Uber?

[@RionIshida]

Indeed!😊 They don't provide it for us🤣

[@blureader1164]

The good part of this job is that if you don't like being around people, you don't have to deal with co-workers or a boss. Can you choose your delivery area? If you can limit the delivery area, you probably could make more money. In the US, you would be making about 10% (low end) in tips.

[@RionIshida]

True ^^ Unfortunately we cannot limit the area that's why I got far and far from my original place... Also if we had tip culture, definitely would be better🤣haha

[@RionIshida]

Arigatooo 😊 I think exchange students only can work up to 28 hours per week, meaning you can earn about 112,000 JPY in a month (Tokyo) if you work. except university tuition, I think it's possible but it would be really hard if you need to pay for the tuition🤔
