I stayed at a Hennna Hotel in Tokyo. It was REALLY nice for the price. ¥7,200 for two people. You'd pay more than that in other first world countries for rooms 1/2 the quality The entire room was super clean. The bath was nice, too. Luckily, we had no Robohon in the room.They had a patio deck on the roof with a view of Tokyo Skytree. I'd recommend Hennna Hotel in a second.

[@ShakyKeys]

Can you take a quick look at the reception desk without staying at the hotel or does the staff frown upon that?

[@pauld9561]

That's exactly my sentiment toward the Japanese people. They were delightful hosts while I visited.

[@wendyon4517]

@@ShakyKeys I'm not sure what they would think. People probably do it. You can't use the elevator to upper floors without a room card and lobbies are the public face of hotels. Our hotel had a holographic dinosaur. You took an elevator to the second floor to check in. The check-in counter was right after exiting the elevator in our case. Check-in is done by inputting things onto a screen and paying. Staff only appear if you have trouble with any part of it and push a button to call them.

Hello from the States. Some of us would never get to see any of this in person, the Japanese culture's fascinating & intriguing would love to see it in person but this is the next best thing. Thank you for sharing such beautiful country & the cities are absolutely amazing. Had no idea they had so much technology & beauty. I had a friend move there for work & I was like what are you doing there's not much there but I was immensely wrong. There's a lot.

I have social anxiety and this video made me feel very calm. I think I would really enjoy that hotel, the restaurant and that store where you don't have to talk with anyone to pay. It's like a dream come true!

[@WaitWhat99]

I wish we had restaurants like this here in Australia. Sometimes you just want to go eat out but embarrassing to eat alone OR you just don’t feel like talking to other people. This is perfect.

[@justherbirdy]

If you live in/near Melbourne, there's a restaurant on Swanston St at Bourke St - Superhiro. There are people downstairs, but if you ask to go upstairs you'll have robot staff instead.

[@HorizonHipHop]

Thats why I love the cafeteria style restaurants, used to have one near where I live called Brothers where the food is pre made and laid out in trays, so you pretty much just point at what you want, pay and have your food in a booth which feels somewhat private. Unfortunately they changed the whole restaurant into a regular one because me and 2 old people were the only ones eating there. But I moved and luckily theres another similar place in my new town where I can just get the food, sit and eat. Also these places are nice because they're cheaper to begin with and you dont have to tip either.

[@BoofsBoofington]

As a fan of green onions, the ramen made me tear up. Great commentary, attention to details, camera skills. Thank you for a delightful mini vacation.

Thank you for showing us the quirkiness of Osaka, I will definitely visit there with my family one day. Love your videos, keep up the good work! Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.

[@insidiousfish]

3:45 We stayed in Henna Hotel in Kyoto but it did not have Robohon yet. But the dinosaurs were already there, but no deserted panda. 12:13 You rode the Dotonbori Donki ferris wheel! We wanted to ride that as well but forgot about it after we saw the Hep Five ferris wheel. 15:42 The ultimate conundrum of takoyaki: best eaten when freshly made but will always burn your mouth. But a good takoyaki order is always worth the scalded tongue every time. 19:38 Robohon has the colors of a penguin. 20:06 That origami tiger is cute! Thanks for taking us on that Donki ferris wheel ride, I've always wanted to ride it but no one would go with me. Stay safe!

[@sheldonb2022]

I would be SO down to go there :D

[@lizgaspari-gasparinutrition]

Yes, I finally got to ride the ferris wheel that I've wanted to try for a long time haha If i had a chance, i'll try the Hep Five ferris wheel as it stands out in the area but i haven't tried I noticed the origami tiger after i saw your comment! Edit: You pay attention to every detail in my video😃 Thanks:)

That Dinosaur really makes the Hotel right on top of my list

[@CherylsCreativeWorld33]

Thank you for sharing this! I’d be a little freaked out in that hotel, but the little talking robot (looks like a penguin) made me laugh! Tsp been a real culture shock seeing all this, so thanks for taking us with you! Probably the best travel video on KZbin!

[@tikishark1]

Wow what a super affordable room. You couldn’t even come close to that quality in the states for that price. Most of our hotels cost at least 150 a night. A 50 hotel would be gross. Japan seems like such a wonderful and advanced society.

[@vempriex]

The U.S. isn't comparable to Japan's high quality and cleanliness especially the amenities and accommodations (food wise).

[@Tou0001]

Thanks for the fun videos as always. It's refreshing to see Robohon keep talking. It's a beautiful hotel and it's cheap, so there's no complaints.

[@YasukeDeGozaru]

I am a Japanese, living in the States for 6,7 years since I was 15 (because I said fck Japanese education). Anyway, recently went to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, BUT alone. Here the culture of eating at a restaurant alone is nonexistent and as expected, they gave me a weird look (not necessarily unwelcoming, but not comfortable one either). I love that, when I go back home, I'd go to cheap (also hella good) ramen or some sort of don restaurant. Just imagine getting into a little cozy Japanese restaurant after a day of work. Just you and yourself, and a delicious meal of your choice. No one is there to tell you anything, just you. It's an experience I'd recommend. It's just different culture, but little things like that in Japan, I enjoy it so much. Japan is a unique nation like no other for better or worse. There is whole a lot of great hidden things within, and I hope those who were born outside of Japan, get to experience some of that. Thanks for the awesome vid.

[@DarkSideOfTheBrightSide]

I’ve lived in America all my life, and never experienced that.. eating alone is common, because ppl have to eat; it’s not only about date nights, couples, or families- that’s absurd to even consider. I call bs on your story. Ppl don’t give af, you’re not important or special- everybody is basically minding their own business.

[@hieioni3354]

I am curious. Why do you hate Japanese education so much?

It's also a dying population though since the culture has become so isolating and dependent on technology. There's some interesting docs to watch about why the younger generations just aren't having sex much anymore. It'd be an interesting experience to check out a robot hotel like this, but at the same time places like this are perpetuating Japanese ppl not interacting irl with each other.

[@jackblack7850]

[@bwowzah]

This is a fantastic video! Very well done from all aspects. This made me nostalgic for the time back in 2014 when I went on a solo trip to Osaka for two months. When I arrived, I learned that my bank had locked my account which meant the only money I could use was what I had converted before my trip. I had to stretch that small amount of cash for two weeks! Eventually my bank sorted out the issue, but before that happened my vacation days consisted me walking around Osaka looking for the cheapest food once or twice a day and sleeping in large group Hostel rooms with hole in the wall beds. Looking back, it actually wasn't that bad. In my home country, you can't walk two steps without someone putting their arm around you while they recount their life story. In Osaka, even though there were people everywhere, it felt like I was on a planet completely alone.

Lived in Japan close to 2 years and I really enjoyed my stay there. Did not get to visit Osaka, so I'm glad you brought us on your tour. The food, my lord! Yes, the steaming ramen, the comfort food miso soup, yakitori, too. I truly love takoyaki, didn't know it was an Osaka specialty. The onigiri can be found in most 'combini' and it's a complete meal in itself. So satisfying. My favorite Japan canned coffee is BOSS, best soda for me is Calpico. That being said, 'why dinosaur' you ask? Very popular nowadays, and it's so unusual and therefore unique.

The hotel looks very interesting but that Robohon has a camera in the middle of it's forehead and that's a great big NOPE from me. I'd be covering that thing up with a towel the moment I saw it. But what bothered me most wasn't the hotel or Robohon, it was the fact that there's just so much concrete everywhere. I noticed that in Hong Kong too. Coming from Canada where even our biggest cities have trees on all the streets it just looks so barren and sterile and makes me feel so depressed.

Henn an Hotel is pretty great actually. Really reasonable rates at pretty good accommodations. Though when I stayed at the hotel in Akasaka the front desk was out of order so regular staff had to check everyone in. Ichiran is pretty great. Love it. If you go with a date or someone else, you can move the divider aside so you can enjoy a meal together and still feel pretty private. Or you could just keep the divider up and ignore each other. For better or worse, Japan is really making it seem like an introvert’s paradise.
