What $400 Gets You at Japan's Most Luxurious Onsen

Forget your Tokyo’s, forget your Osaka’s, even forget your Kyoto’s, Niigata is the place to go to experience the real Japan. I visited Ryugon, a luxury ryokan (traditional Japanese Inn), where you can experience one of the most relaxing, intimate and… LUXURIOUS stays including onsens and one of the most delicious dinners I’ve had in a long time. For those who didn’t know, Niigata receives some of the heaviest snowfalls in Japan inspiring Ryugon’s design, furniture, and even food!
You can book your stay on Ryugon’s English website here:

P.S I hope you all have a happy new year!

How good will that code word be good for?? I’m planning to go to japan but my trip is looking like it won’t be until 2025 😢 I’m definitely going to check out Ryugon (and Niigata) while I’m there though!

[@toyota420xp]

Subtitles with blimey bloomin heck and well good seem like they’re written by a British guy because definitely not an American ever subtitle anything like that

[@RyotarosJapan]

@@joecarosella7418 It should work ss long as we are friends!

[@Mithraschosen]

Ryotaro is the Japanese uncle we all needed in life but never had. 👍

[@shanellaj]

That is so true.

[@cure.couture]

Omg yes!

[@RyotarosJapan]

That is the best flattering, I've ever had.

[@you_mad]

im japanese and i even agree 😂😂

[@lucyshnyr5647]

Sō desu!!!👏🏻

[@MikeD8318]

Chris Broad has to be the one doing the subtitles

[@NeonIceyy]

Ryotaro's channel is finally growing to a point where new viewers will be so confused seeing him insult this poor British man every video and ask themselves "do they hate each other or something?"

[@AltairSaosin]

Wait, is there confusion on that? It's pretty clear to me. :p

[@lizthedisjointedzebra692]

Not even two minutes in, and I am choking on my coffee, those subtitles hahahahh

[@hmsverdun]

I love the content and I'm still loving the fun with subtitles. Translating formal Japanese speach and greetings into cockney is just so fun.

[@lukeshackleton862]

whoever does the subtitles, you are amazing, they always crack me up.🤣

[@visualistener]

I love Ryotaro's sense of humor ("Alright bruv" lmaooo) and I also love that he will take a jab at Chris any chance he gets, hahahaha

[@gsfsb693]

I'll never get tired of the subtitles on these vids. Cheers Rissotoro!

[@drunacres]

The subtitles are brilliant! Turning formal Japanese into (the best I can describe) colloquial English "chav" is fantastic.

[@bloodychunker]

I always love your subtitling! Great video

[@TandokuOsaki]

What a beautiful onsen! I feel like Ryotaro knows half of all Japans business owners XD 🎍Wish you all a great 2024! 🎍

[@faieziabubakar207]

Ryotaro knows everyone in japan 😂

[@lucyshnyr5647]

„Where lesser youtubers failed every challenge“! 😂😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻applause! I love this dynamic between Ryotaro and Chris. P.S. Watching Abroad in Japan (+Natsuki + Joey) and Ryotaro over the last years has become like visiting my family ☺️there’s something truly cool there that you’re making, guys. Hope I‘ll make it to 🇯🇵 some day!

[@hiddinsmile]

the way you say Muppet at 13:04 is filled with so much love and hate. I love it.

[@SynchroNova]

I recently went to Japan, these videos want me to go back even more 😭

[@MrMBinder]

What a beautiful building. The Japanese countryside is so lovely during pretty much every season. It's a bit of a shame a lot of tourists only focus on Tokyo and the other big cities. I understand a fair bit of Japanese and I'm loving the subtitle work in your videos 😂

[@indrabar]

the subtitles had me chortling as well!

[@RyotarosJapan]

Thanks for watching. I guess that where I come in to introduce the off the beaten path of Japan!

[@GameGingo]

I still love the over the top British and internet slang inspired subtitles. Really suits the tone of Ryotaro, who doesn't always take things too seriously.

[@Toohotmittens]

Hearts out to anyone affected by the latest earthquake. Be safe and live on.

[@conjoiner83]

I think Ryotaro needs to rename the channel to "A day in the life of a true Japanese geezer". Innit bruv 😅

[@RyotarosJapan]

That is a bit too long, but I love it!

[@conjoiner83]

I mean you're not wrong...

[@rachel6843]

I love Ryotaros subtitles! I've never laughed so much and it's even funnier since i understand the Japanese but get to read the translations 😂

[@dianaa8125]

yes Im learning japanese and these subtitles seem strangely british?

[@ZM-jb6gc]

Ryotaro's videos actually are very classy and I feel properly Japanese so it's comfortable, like nobody is offended. However, they are presented to a Western audience primarily. So it's very nice.

[@mell_gif]

Alright Bruv 1:55 had me in stitches 😂😂😂

[@vegemaaate4474]

The subtitles are giving me LIFE!

[@cristovaosoares8772]

I'm planning a trip to Japan, I want to spend the whole month in Tohoku, especially to be able to go to the Tohoku Saidan Matsuri, and I'm taking all your videos as recommendations to go, Sendai, Niigata, every single one. You're the best Ryotaro. Thank you for the video as always. Greeting from Brazil. Happy holidays and I wish a good 2024. Take acre!

[@purnabhishek]

1:22 The way they politely greet each other in Japanese...and we have the naughty subtitles. Honestly, who wrote those? 🤣

[@bronwynecg]

“Did I stutter…?” 😂😂😂😂✌🏽👍🏽

[@Lumen_lune]

Ryotoro is definitely the coolest uncle we all need

[@Lyrah89]

Came for the onsen, stayed for the subtitles 😂 this is too funny

[@amaidango]

Love your content, can’t wait for more in 2024 😊

[@WA-eg7ft]

Just spent a few days Miyagi area last December. Next time we'll go to Ryugon and say hi to your friend. Last December we stayed at Diakon no Hana. I have say that will be hard to beat. But that's the beauty of trying new places. Thanks Ryotaro. And keep giving Chris trouble. You guys have been fun to watch!

[@effortlesschoice]

Good to see you making videos. The sound quality, editing & flow are great. Now you can show Chris who the more popular KZbinr is 😂 Happy New Year 🎈🎊🎆

[@John50-kc8dx]

This place has the visual appeal and traditional architecture that I have always found to be so appealing and longing to see in Japan. I hope to one day be able to visit. Thank you for the video

[@tensa7132]

I’m so excited to experience this type of beauty for my first trip to Japan next year! Cheers!

[@SamRoxxJDM]

love these uploads Ryotaro keep it up, these travel videos are some of the best parts of my day

[@BadgerOfTheSea]

Finding out you are Chris' de facto boss was the funniest thing about his book

[@jthomp72]

This feels like exactly how affable lad Chris Broad would subtitle a video lol did he do this?

[@larsstougaard7097]

Happy new year 🎉, hope everyone get a great night 😊. Thanks big R for all your content

[@ango1101]

Looks great. Have a happy new year mate.

[@lestatg8]

you never disappoint in choosing new places to go... damn good... happy new year ryotaro!!!!! hope to see more....

[@sheidogirl]

First video I have seen on this channel! Loved it! Looking forward to binge watching everything 🥳 I live in Scotland and have only been to Japan once, but definitely prefered the countryside rather than the cities.

[@scipionyx]

@12:33 "But culture is more about how people lived""~ speaking facts right here.

[@Sam-nz9yn]

Oh wow! We get a video right before new years? Awesome, and great video! Happy new years Ryotaro!

[@andipopp1984]

I swear, half of the appeal of your videos are the creative subtitles 😂

[@AcuteStressResponse]

I like how Ryotaro called Chris a "Muppet" in good old British slang fashion.

[@mjmikaelson]

Great video Ryotaro! I'm glad I found your channel! Thank you for sharing! 🙇😊

[@WatcherofHumanity]

Your videos are amazing mate, really love the documentary, yet, personal touch.

[@cypriennezed5640]

All the details add up to a beautiful experience ❄️ ✨️Happy New Year, everyone!✨️

🤣 one of the best translated youtube videos in ages, something "lesser youtubers" could learn from 😋

Man this would look amazing in winter

[@Jyorei]

I love Ryotaro's subtitles :')

[@jaredsharethealoha]

Awesome video wish I saw this sooner. We are staying in Yuzawa in March. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@ChaoticusCosmos]

Just wanted to say you have a really great and well-rounded personality. Looking forward to eventually moving into Japan :)

[@thisisnotthechannelyourelo407]

😂 Aw, Ryotaro, I would dine with you! haha, You had me laughing throughout the entire video, you're so adorable it's funny.

[@Unimportant]

The private onsen has a really fresh view toward the nature too.

[@misamisamisamisamisamisa]

love this video. this is my favorite ryokan besides takafue and tsuru no yu ❤

[@Nae395]

Stunning accommodation.

[@Sipu79]

"this muppet" LOL amazing

[@arceus54321]

i love the subtitles lol. also this onsen looks amazing

[@MartinJ86]

Genuinely looks amazing, food and location! And a free drink?! Definitely worth a visit!

[@RyotarosJapan]

That is my tactics make people remember my name. Hope you enjoy your free sake when you visit.

[@DH007-w2d]

The best hôtel of Japan ? Mume Hôtel in Kyoto. Hisako-San is a pearl.

[@wolfsanctom]

What an amazing establishment

[@flavorhostage]

Niigata isn't in Tohoku! To go from Niigata to Morioka I had to take the shinkansen all the way back to Omiya in Saitama. It was quicker than taking a bus straight across. But it's worth going to Niigata anyway. The food is especially good.

[@TalkingDonkey2]

Love it!!!

[@dspiritlight]

these videos always keep the translation real.

[@_spartan11796]

Looks so good

"Alright bruv." The editor is having a ball with this. Is it Chris who's editing? 😂😂😂

[@erikthereddest]

I was not prepared for the jokes in the subtitles and almost choked 🤣 Good stuff, Rissotero.

[@tambarlas5248]

The Japanese-to-English captions are hilarious.

wow, this place look awesome

[@dwalker6868]

Beautiful we all can dream

[@josefkadhem2889]

"Alright bruv" fucking killed me 😂😂

Been really enjoying your content, I hope to visit this establishment on my next trip back to Japan. Also don't worry, if we hung out, I wouldn't ditch you right away 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jokes aside, great video!

[@RexNovus]

I understand a bit of Nihonggo but the subtitles are so funny! first video in 2024 that made me laugh a lot hahahahaha

[@truepotential206]

Every cultured person knows Ryottaro's Japan is the Real Japan

[@Zelmel]

Wow, I see that steak and greens dish and just wish it had another of those onigiri with it because I feel like that would just elevate it again.

[@WeekendsWithKayezee]

Wow!!

[@frankdrebin2343]

the subtitles are hilarious

[@Katashifox]

I do plan to live in the country side of Japan because it's more peaceful without so much people around and I love peace

[@jamieolsen647]

'Konichiwa onegaishimaaaasu' - translation 'alright bruv' 🤣🤣🤣

[@travelherotv]

I prefer the 300 yen onsen lol. But this is elegant.

I live for ryotaro's hilarious captions

[@garfieldandfriends1]

Thank you for your sacrifice as the newest bar dartboard lmao

That beef looks spectacular

Gotta love that reference intro animation in the beginning

[@-Cesh-]

Excellent Ryokan at Ryugon for Ryotaro... wait ...

[@KantoCafe715]

Yes looks amazing. I like Kyushu for Onsens, where I am currently, but as I live in Kanto , Niigata is accessible to me. I hate cold hence my love of Kyushu but snow is always beautiful so I will try coming while still winter .

[@RyotarosJapan]

My next video is going be about Onsen in Kyushu with a special guest. Hope you like it!

[@KantoCafe715]

@@RyotarosJapan I’m sure I will. Today I am riding a local train to Oita, stopping at Nobeoka along the way. Beautiful scenery.

[@IanFarquharson2]

Nice place. Missed a trick at dinner. Ball of rice, snow.

[@timalvner7131]

The place is amazing, unfortunately we didn't know about this place when we were driving through a week ago but still had to stop by and just appreciate the hotel for a while. And get the snow-aged beef dinner if you're visiting in winter - they're working with an aging company and after visiting the beef store I can't imagine what the dinner here could be like. (Yes, if you've watched a certain Abroad in Japan video you know this beef.)

[@Tonzeff]

What a beautiful place Niigata is, and what an amazing Ryokan, when I finally make my way to Japan I will make it a stop on my travels. Btw, I have a sneaky suspicion that certain KZbinr (I won't say his name but it rhymes with Bris Croad) may have sabotaged your captions. 😅
