The Truth About Solo Travel in Japan 🇯🇵 (Didn't Know this was Osaka)

[@johnp6987]

My screen went red but I could still hear the audio, I thought my tv was broke for a minute 😂

[@KierstenandTylertravel]

It’s fixed

[@nitamelatie]

knowing you visit Japan over and over again Japan must be very fun to visit

[@joyyyy777]

Awesome experience. Good luck man.

20:32 この商店街は道具屋筋と呼ばれています。道具とはこの場合は調理器具のことで、大阪で食べ物屋を営む人が必要なものはなんでも揃うと言われていました。今は外国人観光客向けに食品サンプルの制作体験なども提供しているようです。 ところでSAKE47は日本酒のフェスティバルで、日本各地を代表する日本酒の試飲ができたようです。 20:32 This shopping street is called "DOUGUYA-SUJI". In this case, "DOUGU" are cooking utensils, and it was said that people who run food shops in Osaka need everything they need. Now it seems that they also offer food sample production experiences for foreign tourists. By the way, SAKE47 is a sake festival, and it seems that we were able to taste sake that represents various parts of Japan.

That's one thing about Japan: when visiting, people need to pack their patience and just be prepared to stand in long lines. They are very organized, and the lines do go fast.

As someone who lived in Osaka during my university days, I'm really happy that you went to Umeda. Foreign tourists often visit Minami (meaning south) or Namba, Dotonbori, or Shinsaibashi areas, but Umeda, also known as Kita (meaning north), is also one of Osaka's representative downtown areas. is. In particular, the underground shopping mall in Umeda called Umechika is probably the largest in Japan and is nicknamed the Umeda Dungeon because it is easy to get lost there. Umeda is currently undergoing redevelopment, so new facilities are still being built. It might be different next time you come.

[@mollygrubber]

Aww, did Bambi go back home? Ah well, solo again I guess.

[@mieura5096]

I’m glad that you continue coming back here! Please come back on a regular basis!

[@gonkiciyamyam7222]

23:26 This is Yakitori Izakaya called Shin Judai（meaning New era）. It is delicious.

[@KierstenandTylertravel]

For anyone wondering about the giant gachapan the deal is that you spend 5,000 yen inside Umeda station. That means at the food stalls, dept stores, whatever. You take your receipts back to the giant gachapon workers and you get a spin. Bottom tier prize is a pack of candy and top prize is a switch. Possible to win nothing too though lol I believe it’s up one weekend every month.

[@foxhound_YT]

Where’s Bambi? 😮

[@carolyn7]

The title is solo travel. If she’s there then it’s not solo travel

[@deborahhendrickson8866]

Yeah! Where is Bambi?

[@chase9657]

Where is Bambi?

[@acke26]

weather in november and begining of dec is also very pleasant and quiet warm

[@chutton]

Next trip to Japan, you should come in December before Christmas! The illuminations and lights in Tokyo (Shibuya) look breathtaking :)

[@j1y0ni]

That must of been on a weekend. I went to the Umeda Sky building last year on a Monday there was no line at all. Straight up on the Elevator.

[@mr0glass]

Found a bug on my screen thanks to the red screen. Thanks bro!

[@Msal19]

Osaka is a friendlier and more compact version of Tokyo. It's less populated, and it's easier to move around.

[@Karl-going-solo]

Haven't seen you for a while but great to see you doing well. I'm 53 and never been to Japan and I really must do it soon. What are the best things to do in Japan?

[@shizuru-2809]

The manga at 10:00 is amazing same authot as Tekkon Kinkreet and Ping Pong

[@DowonLee-hb7mw]

Japan is such an amazing country.

[@travis-bs3bs]

Yes, Japan has almost everything to enjoy in small land.

[@LloydTaray-bt7ho]

Man every city and mall from japan is so amazing and beautiful 🤩😍

[@gatl7185]

Here’s the area where I usually live. I’m happy to hear good things about Osaka! One great thing about Osaka is that it’s closer to many tourist spots compared to Tokyo. Also, hotels and food are generally cheaper here than in Tokyo. But recently, there are a lot of foreign tourists, so I'd love recommendations for places that locals go, too.

[@Sibbsy]

Osaka for the win. I always rush through it and leave needing more. Planning a trip for 2025 with 2 weeks solely based in osaka

[@__-vu8io]

I've been to Umeda twice and there was never a line, but I went at sunset or later :O.

[@durandalisdendroarchon]

Been watching all of Zane's Japan videos because i already planned my trip to Tokyo mainly. Got my tickets and my hotel. 14 days in late December to early January. Going there on my first flight EVER by myself. Which brings me to my question, would a tour guide be necessary or a waste? I got an itinerary but have 4 days with nothing planned but some ideas. Zane is a well seasoned traveler so I can't match his vibe as a newbie.

[@zanetravel]

I wouldn't recommend a tour guide, personally. It's safe to explore Japan on your own :)

[@Elliot_frew]

First, btw great video as usual 👌

[@htsnt8194]

1:23 - 3:38 red screen anyway.

[@HeatherLewis213]

anyway?

[@KierstenandTylertravel]

He fixed it

[@htsnt8194]

@@KierstenandTylertravel that's good. I'll watch this again!

[@anon-tlv3399]

[@ryuko8263]

11月の日本は旅行に最適です！一番過ごしやすい！

[@doc_zithu]

Really Enjoyed the exploration. Arigato 🇯🇵❤️👌

[@mamaikeda82]

Wow I went last year in October and it was deserted at the Umeda building

[@anon-tlv3399]

just imagine how many otaku there must be in osaka to support so many anime-manga merch shops

[@waitandhope]

Cool

[@donnawilliams2062]

Love your content, such ease and natural while filming in public. Keep it coming! 😊

[@glennconst5248]

What happened to Bambi

[@doc_zithu]

🇯🇵❤️🇯🇵❤️🇯🇵❤️🇯🇵❤️

[@Alexsdam]

So at 13:08 you say the owner talked to us. So you're misleading us with the title Zane?! Anyway, cool video once again ;)

[@mariaperea9949]

[@MrAvalanchePoGo]

[@TIMagicProd]

[@M33KS1337]

Skip the red screen 3:39.

[@KierstenandTylertravel]

Fixed!

[@gryphus878]

Solo travel + driving in Japan is one of the most empowering thing that I've done

[@anon-tlv3399]

the overtourism seems to have ruined the attractions of japan

[@dragonzord6615]

Just don't go to the over touristed spots. Sadly, that's all zane ever does..

[@julez3161]

bambi had to go already?

[@Rwper-jmme8gi9p]

[@psp785]

[@atreyu4ws]

My guy please do not walk and talk like this in public in Japan, it's embarrassing, especially when you're just picking stuff up and saying you don't know what it is lol

[@anon-tlv3399]

oh give it a rest, thousands of people including local japanese do livestreams and walk and talks. relax

[@LloydTaray-bt7ho]

Your jealous man cause you have no viewers 😂
