SERIOUS Japan Tourism Update | Deadly Infections SOAR, Kyoto Ban & MORE!

[@kanzaki0001]

That’s a weird thing to do. To actually pull on geisha’s hair, these are real people.

[@shadowofintent7209]

I swear, I'm scary looking and grown @$$ women pull my hair to see if it's fake or not. Ugh ...lol

[@marcjy5228]

Idiots who are ruining the experience for everyone, here's a big Fcuk you! Despicable to think how ppl can treat other human beings like objects, being so disrespectful to their culture and actually physically abusing them. This is why the saying came about of why "Humans can't have good things"

Nice! 2 more weeks for me!

[@zenneko641]

Thank you so much for these updates, we are heading to Japan in a couple of weeks. I have an immune disorder so I'm very grateful for the strep update, I'll need to take precautions

[@shi3in]

Hi, I‘m also struggle with immune deficiency and will head to japan in may. I get sick very easily so I‘m kind of scared. What precautions are you planing to take for your trip! Kind regards hope u have a great trip anyway!

[@OwusuJR]

Thanks for the update! Hope you're well too🙏🏿

[@JoanLein]

I will be goin to japan this next 6 of april and your discord group has been a GREAT help to me, thanks for the info!

[@justchill4885]

Wow, well this video put a big damper on my trip....Not just Disease, but closing the Kyoto district AND the Gundam Factory right before I go...damn it all...

[@magnustan841]

Im travelling to Sendai in a few weeks and they have a tourist bus route called “Loople” and I’ve seen similar things in Tokyo and other smaller cities. It’s surprising that Kyoto never had dedicated tourist buses and routes until now. Maybe there weren’t enough drivers or too few buses to make it viable.

[@yo2trader539]

Kyoto has too many buses already. Kyoto built two sub-way lines to ease some of the traffic congestion...and the debt is still financially haunting Kyoto city. Simply put, Kyoto has always said they don't want this many foreign tourists.

[@TrulyJ]

Thanks for the info :)

[@kevlarcardhouse252]

This growing trend of tourists treating other countries like a theme park isn't just happening in Japan and I find it abhorrent. I'm starting to feel like countries need to start throwing out harsher zero tolerance punishments. Maybe if there were reports of tourists spending a couple days in a Kyoto prison or needing to pay an exorbitant fine for carving their name into a bamboo tree, some of these idiots might start thinking twice.

[@ひよっぴーHappyzundamon]

1:11 I have been to Shibuya intersection. So many too peoples.

[@Death_Bounty]

Awesome video!! It always takes one bad apple to ruin it for everyone else!

[@Dutchmijk]

I am in Kyoto now. And it is not that crowded. Sure there are allot of people, but not to be worried about it. Also the Kyoto ban, is in a small area. I am having a great time here. Just be aware of the culture here and respect it. Learn few phrases to great and thank. I you come the my country (Netherlands) and don’t behave 😂 I wound like you either.

[@Philmaster07]

do you have concerns about the strep a thing?

[@mdsupa]

I was Yokohama Gundam last week, the store was empty except for some cd album. I dont see them keeping the store there without the moving Gundam

[@tytotheowl2994]

Yeah true I was also there last week, at least I was prepared for it to be empty. Did you get the HARO popcorn ball though? That thing was really cool!

[@mdsupa]

@@tytotheowl2994 Haro popcorn was gone

[@Mitigator18]

Well I went to Japan. From Vancouver to Thailand for two weeks then Thailand to Osaka Japan on March 21st. Went to Universal Studios and walked the whole day. Kids had sore throat as I did. By 8:45pm I was pretty tired. Called a cab and left for Del Style hotel in the Osaka shopping area with that strip covered by the long glass roof. Got out of the cab. Was very thirsty and could barely move. My 10 year old said dad you’re pale looking. I hobbled over and walked over to the outside chairs of a new coffee shop. Waved my wife over and she’s like not again. 13 years ago in HK I turned pale and got dehydrated and took Ambulance ride and then 3 bags of IV to recover. Also Covid March 2020 also took ambulance and discovered high potassium and irregular heart beats during Covid initial stages. Also known as Hyper Alkemia. It’s what’s found in 50% of Covid deaths is hyper alkemia, when too much potassium in the blood can cause heart attack. The execution bus in the big Asian country, also uses potassium chloride as the final blow to execute people. Back to Osaka story; the shop owner is like omg in the look on his face, it’s my grand opening please don’t bring bad luck to me look. But he didn’t kick me out, as he knew I was messed up looking like death was near. After 30 minutes of body shaking like having hypothermia style, and drinking 1 L of Pocarri Sweat. (Electrolytes drink). And some prayer I was able to walk again and then recovered from dehydration, but took 1 week for that cold, sore throat, With no taste ability for food to go away. I wonder if that’s the same toxic shock syndrome. The Pocarri Sweat saved me. That was close. And some prayers. Else I feel I needed to call the ambulance. But in Japan didn’t know the number as 911 is what I know. I wore a mask on the way home just to make sure to keep others safe back to Vancouver. Pretty scary Stuff. One moment you are fine, next moment battling for life. Same day recovered. But the Virus is pretty nasty. Stay healthy everyone.

[@Myriel67]

From 20th March this year Kyoto bus reduced the busses. Due to the lack of staff! How ironic, because now the crowded season is coming. Hanami!!

[@Nelsea7190]

saw the gundam in 2022 if i remember corectly or 2023. either way its off to be loaded onto the Argama for its normal duty.

[@ronetteskiestante4064]

Just got back from my 8 day trip to Osaka!. Thanks to your discord group, I had a great trip!😃

[@anniesaw1511]

Flying to Japan next week and hopefully the virus infection wont be too serious and I'm surely wearing mask again

[@Philmaster07]

it was also there 2019 and is there since the 90s. this year is just a little more. do not worry, even if its around 1500 cases this year (doubt that it will be more), japan has 120mio people living there ;) plus tourists

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

I leave for Japan for the first time tomorrow…wow didn’t know strep infections was going on…

[@Philmaster07]

yes but keep in mind 480 cases with 120mio inhabitants. in tokyo its only aroun 90 in 3 months... so

[@youcook6851]

Mask up and wash your hands . I am leaning next week too! I have not Belem traveling since pandemic 😢

[@AnnaK-fs6xk]

How many people live in Japan? How many people get the infection? It is very serious.

[@Philmaster07]

120mio living in japan, only around 480 cases since january, so no need to be concerned :) just wear a mask and do hygiene. for reference. tokyo had only 86 cases since january. and imagine how big this city is

[@FollowTheSunAustralia]

Great update I feel like I'd be wearing a mask again if I went that strep sounds like a holiday ruiner 😔 as for the Kyoto bus 🚌 I felt kinda lost getting around in Kyoto, because you need to use buses , I remember getting that bus pass , still super annoying sardines in a can 😅so if that bus has success and runs 7 days a week eventually 👍

[@youcook6851]

I am leaving next week with my elderly 82 years old . Should I cancel my trip ? I am concerned about my moms health. She is fully vaccinated

[@mikes_in_paradise78]

Do a video on bus routes...inform people about buses!!

[@gromit576]

Who can forget Logan Paul's shenanigans in Japan? He and his cronies showed disrespect at the most holy temple(throwing coins); they waved a dead fish and squid at people at the Shibuya crossing at rush hour; they dressed as Pokemon and ran screaming into malls, restaurants. But, the worst was when they found a person who had sadly taken his life(hanging) in the forest. Logan and friends filmed the scene while giggling and narrating it on video!

[@fabegoldar1]

Typical white male privilege

[@joesavag]

When I went to Japan for 3 weeks, I almost never saw any Japanese use soap when going to the restroom. I hope foreigners don’t follow suit.

[@Philmaster07]

i will definitely and also uses hand sanitizers

[@iansmith3]

Couple of my taxi drivers where coughing

[@kamanama3671]

I’ve never understood the pricing of the items of the videos I’ve watched. Knowing how much things cost relatively I didn’t know how they were making any money by charging five dollars for a lunch per se. Now I understand.

[@susanma4899]

I wonder what percentage of Japanese people have had their tonsils removed. I used to get strep about once a month, got my tonsils removed, and didn't get sick at all for at least two years after that. I don't think I've gotten strep since (knock on wood).

[@Daking_Alter]

Come here in NAGOYA

[@mikes_in_paradise78]

Seriously people...if your sick.. STAY HOME!! Dont get other people sick!! If your sick, dont travel!! Wash your hands people especially if you use the bathroom. Plus too if you cough or have a chronic cough please dont travel!!! People will get sick and give it to others. Respect the culture!!

[@noronhawarren]

Awesome set of videos. Can someone tell me what the morning and afternoon peak hours are on public transport? Is it the same in every city?

[@Philmaster07]

7-9 am and afternoon around 5-8pm

As long as before you leave your country you should have a couple of vaccines. Get a flu shot. Covid vaccine. RSV vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine

[@thebuckeyegamer7443]

My husband and I are going to Japan April 8. Is there any possibility this infection spreading would cause a pandemic? Like as far as lockdowns and/or canceling flights ?

[@Philmaster07]

don't think so. there isn't even a hotspot. don't let the media implement more panic than it is needed

[@o.c.g.m9426]

Show me the countries least visited by Westerners, n I'm there. Great video. It's always a shame how a few ruin it for the rest. The main reason is that even after 24 countries visited, I refuse to vlog.

[@kinofire2158]

Are tourists banned from kyoto forever with no exceptions?

[@Matilda-ot4pl]

Management is keeping and eye on the news about this new disease and is checking our masks and alcohol supplies … I hope it will not escalate 😥

[@Philmaster07]

i don't think so. this disease is there since the 90s but because of the covid measures there is now a little higher amount. i do not think, that the total cases this year will go over 1500. and then keep in mind that japan has 120mio people living there

[@KDP2009]

Cool 😀 great! Deadly virus? Good to know... I've had my flight booked for months already... Too late for me I guess... Awesome...

[@benvonstanke7493]

This is why I stay away from the tourist areas of Japan.

[@snxjsnsnjsiwnsjsosjsmmemsjsn]

at the same time in NOT excusing disgusting behaviour from tourists, let that be clear! there are too many especially from the UK everywhere in the world behaving like animals, smashing hotel rooms, shouting loudly and drunk in the streets at 4 AM in the morning, fighting w locals, etc, so thats never ok either, im sure not all japanese tourists or asian tourists behave well in other parts od the world either all the time, as a european not from uk i always try to be a GOOD tourists, respectful, etc, but bcuz i travel longtime im not gonna pretend i manage to do it all the time, like when motorbikes drive on the sidewalk where im walking creating potential dangerous situations just bcuz they are in a hurry or are lazy or something makes me angry and i sometimes do not so good gestures like THUMB DOWN or even the finger sometimes even behind their backs but so other cars car and motorbikes can see that that was not ok for me as a tourist...but most of the time i behave, its a REMINDER im in a cheap country becuz its third world and economy is not the only thing that is underdeveloped there unfortunately...u cant get everything everywhere so,.. yeah i agree, many tourists no matter age should never be allowed to travel and if they carve their names into ancient japnese temples they're countries should be notified so not only do they get banned from Japan the next 5-15 years but they should have to wait 2 extra yesrs to get their passports renewed as well in their own countries...its very sad how some ppl ,not most thinks its ok to be criminal in other countries but their own,,,

[@jaymeez]

Don’t people get strep throat from tongue kissing someone who already has it?

[@Philmaster07]

its droplet infection and on surfaces (but only smooth surfaces) so if somebody is breathing there should be no issue, but if somebody coughs and sneezes, than it can get to you also with kissing, yes. So just wear a mask and sanitize your hands, and you should be totally fine

[@BobACNJ]

Are those stuffed animals on the shelves in the background?

3 Psyduck and Jolteon with maybe a spiderman. They were the first things I had seen in the video.
