Schön, dass du noch Deutsch sprichst! As someone who went to Okinawa on their second visit to Japan (and now planning my 6th trip) I'd really recommend Matsue for somewhere surprisingly easy to reach and well developed, but basically far out of the Western tourism bubble in Japan. They mostly didn't even have English signage, even though they have special offers like lots of reduced entry fees and cheap bus/train day passes for foreigners. Also, Shimane has some stunning landscapes, snow resorts, interesting museums like the Adachi Museum of Art, cultural sites like Matsue Castle or the Izumo Grand Shrine, and more to offer. My personal favorite event/plce in Japan has to be the Setouchi Art Festival and Takamatsu, though.

Hello Ryotaro, We live in a city near Düsseldorf in Germany. If you were to find a way to Germany again (unfortunately the euro is very strong at the moment) we would kidnap you immediately and drag you through Düsseldorf's old town where you would be due for a beer or two. Afterwards, you should take a bike tour through the left Lower Rhine area where the oldest Altbier brewery is waiting for your visit. The local cuisine has wonderful specialties and your physical well-being would be taken care of. This would give us the opportunity to replace all the frightening experiences with our British EU co-guarantors abroad with positive experiences. Culturally it would definitely be a nice experience. Since you are an open-minded globetrotter, we would be very happy about your visit.

Isn't Düsseldorf sort of like little Tokyo right now? Even if you kidnapped him, I think Ryotaro can still manage to escape and stow away comfortably in Düsseldorf until his visa expires. I suggest after you kidnapped him, transfer him to Münster so he can't run. lol

there are "standing restaurants" in germany. Imbisswagen kinda are what nowadays would be called food truck and in my mind are somewhat of a tradition. At least those with rotisserie chicken and Bratwurst are really common and at festivals you can get all sorts of dishes from those. I know at festivals there can be places to sit as well but not always, depends on the sice of the festival. I mean, you probably have seen them at a Weihnachtsmarkt if you were in Germany during christmas season xD and yes, there are trucks that never leave their position and are always there and yes they have room to eat there, standing in front of them or around, it's not always only take out.

We have pretty good standing restaurants in NYC also. New York is an international culture metropolis, with variety of good food, music and history from everywhere. Besides MANY stationary food truck restaurants for tourists and salarymen, and many festivals, for space reasons there are often underrated standing restaurants to discover. NYC is known for many such pizzerias, for example 2 Brothers Pizza. I especially love the very popular Japanese noodle shop called Wok to Walk, where they offer great selections of rice, noodles, vegetables, meats and toppings! We also have several great Karaoke bars where you could eat and drink at the big main community bar instead of private rooms, which is a lot of fun meeting new people, local and tourists! When you visit NYC, do research in advance, or ask a local friend to help you discover the many great authentic food restaurants and sights to see and enjoy! 😁✌️🇺🇸

Also would you please consider doing a documentary about nearby Taiwan 🇹🇼 to share your thoughts about Taiwanese travel and unique culture? We would GREATLY appreciate learning more through your eyes as you travel those places! I also feel that those videos could greatly benefit and inspire others around the world and will definitely help to grow your subscribers and your channel reputation.

I really enjoyed the Fukushima doc and seeing/hearing the stories of the people interviewed. When I was in Hiroshima last month, I was stopped by a woman who started telling me about her mother who survived and showed me several relics of the area before the bomb. It was a sobering experience and I'm glad I had that chance encounter. As for your travel advice, if it wasn't for your videos (and Chris's and Sharla's), I probably never would've visited Sendai during my trip and would've missed some really great experiences. Keep it up!

I think Yamagata Prefecture which is not so popular place among foreign tourists may be very underrated. Because this area is rich in nature, and has many hidden tourist spots such as Mt.Zao, Yamadera, Mogami river, Zenpouji temple, Mt.Haguro, Uesugi shrine, Kaminoyama onsen, Takahata winery and Kumano shrine.Yamagata city has the highest consumption of ramen in Japan, so there are many restaurants offering high-quality ramen🍜. It is also famous for Yamagata or Yonezawa Wagyu beef, Sangen pork, mutton, taro, rice, soba, ball type konnyaku, Dadacha-edamame, cherries, pears, and sake. Prices are also affordable.

Another great video. Thanks! My first visit to Japan was 32 years ago and I'm about to visit again. My upcoming "Food & Photos Tour" is going to be the trip of my lifetime; I arrive on November 4th and depart on December 1st. Of course I'm going to visit (for a couple days each) the usual suspects of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka & Hiroshima, but most of my time will be AWAY from the big cities in what I hope will be not quite so full of gaijin... except for Yamadera & Nikko, most of my visit will be around Kansai & Chubu: Kanazawa, Kaga, Takayama, Shirakawa-gō, Nagoya... places like that. The place I'm most looking forward to is probably Kōyasan. I also have friends to visit in Chiba, Gifu and Shizuoka, so there will be a lot of traveling but it's going to be a lot of fun.

Most interestingly Kumamoto was the only place in Japan we got called out as gaijins by grumpy old lady. Then again we met pediatric, visited local Lion's Club hangout, got drunk with shochu and so on. Kumamoto I would visit again but Yufuin was best place. It's near Beppu for thoes who don't know.

I was in Sendai recently. I wished I had tried the Gyutan up there :) I think there are so many towns in Japan that are underrated. Kyoto is sadly facing over tourism at the moment. The Japan rail pass has typically been a perfect way to spread tourism into the far reaching places but with the recent massive increase, sadly the underrated places will get less foreign tourism and people will just make places like Kyoto even worse :( Earlier this year I spent a lot of time in Iwate. Completely underrated!! Every town is a wonderful surprise. Tohoku deserves more visitors. Thanks for mentioning Fukuoka as well. My family and I are often in Dazaifu (family lives here) although rest of the time we actually live in Sydney, Australia. Fukuoka is awesome!!

@@cidiracing7481 Hey my friend.. where is your sense of adventure? Motorcycles are cool 😎 and you'd be very popular with the Japanese ladies 😉👍 Unless you're already happily married. Besides, your profile name does say "racing" does it not? If motorcycles are not for you, many Japanese commute and travel by safer mopeds; they are much more stable and you can rent helmet and pads along with one. Otherwise sure, go by bicycle. I am a Triathlete and have cycled up to 200 miles in a single day for leisure. Often I traveled to mountains and beaches and far away cities, carrying either a light backpack with essentials or attached a small bag to my bike itself so my back and shoulders are free while pedaling. I rode to and stayed at motels or friend's homes where I could shower and tour around the next day. Either way, wish you all the best and enjoy your next Journey in Japan! Have Fun! 😁✌️

I have ANOTHER TERRIFIC IDEA for you Ryotaro-senpai! As you know it was a sad tragic moment last July 8th when Shinzo Abe-san was brutally assassinated. Around the world, we were saddened by the news and cried and mourned deeply for our Great friends, like you, in Japan suddenly and unfairly dealing with such painful loss, and fear over such a cowardly action of uncalled for extremist violence. If you could please 🙏 We all have SO many questions as to how and why this happened, and how this loss affects the future of Japan? Many of us also know so little about the honorable Abe family legacy. We greatly enjoy watching your videos not only for your fun nature and witty humor, but also for your sincerity, kindness, and great wisdom. You earned our respect, and that's why many of us are loyal subscribers. Besides your trusted perspective, we know that you also know many influential people across Japan and around the world. Ryotaro-senpai, would you please 🙏 consider making a full length documentary regarding Abe-san. It's totally good for Chris and you to work together on this, but please 🙏 you come in front of the camera! Both of you. Chris can give his reactionary feelings as a foreigner living in Japan. You can then alternate with him and share your thoughts and feelings. And you would be perfect in interviewing other Japanese people to gain their thoughts on why this happened, how did this change Japan and affect the rest of the Free World, and what the strong resilient Japanese people have done in the aftermath to Move Forward towards building a brighter future in spite of that terrible event. It would also be great to know more about Abe-san... what was he like in person? What did he believe strongly in? What good things did he do for the Japanese people? What legacy has he left behind? Are you able to interview his friends or family? The mainstream media did not answer much of our questions, at least not in the knowledgeable way that I BELIEVE YOU CAN. IF you require more of my feedback to help with this project, PLEASE 🙏 do not hesitate to reach out to me. We can exchange email or zoom call. ANY help I can give to you and Chris, any more ideas I can share on this very special and important project I am happy to volunteer my time and service to you. I believe Ryotaro-senpai that you can do an AMAZING heart felt job on this documentary, working together with Chris. The video and editing does not have to be perfect. The most important part would be sharing your heart and mind, and the hearts and minds of the Japanese people who you select to interview for commentary. ❤ What has happened as result a year after this event? How is the direction Japan is moving in now? What is the future result or outlook? How did this change or effect Japanese people? What, if anything, can sympathetic outsiders like us do to help support Japan, to help make Japan great again, and to help continue Abe-san's good works and enduring legacy? We are very eager to hear your thoughts and to know if you will accept this assignment? Needless to say your subscribers will absolutely explode and grow exponentially with such a great project as this, with Chris and you working together. But the MAIN important benefit, is by making this documentary video, you will personally deliver TREMENDOUS Value and Benefit by informing, touching and connecting so many like-minds all around the entire Free world! I am sure without a doubt this documentary of yours will become a most watched video of all time! THANK YOU so much Senpai if you would be willing to do this very important special assignment for all of us your loyal viewers and supporters! 🤗♥️✌️ THANK YOU again tomodachi. God Bless You!

Can you please add proper English subtitles? The auto-generated ones are cutting out the less popular Japanese place names like Sendai, Niseko, so even if people wanted to look it up, it might be hard without knowing how to spell it.

I would strongly disagree as the quality of food in Japan is so higher than the rest of the world, so it doesn't matter what recipe you will bring from there.... It most definitely won't be same as you most likely will have to adjust and make changes at best....

I don't understand why anyone would want to move to Tokyo either. It's loud, busy, the trains are packed, the people have no manners, and it smells like shyte. Literal shyte. Sewage. I could be blind and I'd always know when I've arrived at any populated area in Tokyo because they all smell like shyte.
