A Typical Workday at a Japanese construction blue-collar clothing aka workwear speciality shop, MANNEN-YA, in Tokyo’s Shinjuku area and I’m going take you inside of this small Japanese business to show you how they run their shop, earn an honest living and sell their goods. Established in 1969, the shop has been a trusted destination for local construction workers for many years. Now run by the founder’s daughter, the shop continues to be a trusted retailer for the hard working community. In recent years, workwear in Japan has seen tremendous growth, with a wide variety of styles, colors, and variations in both clothing and accessories. Many major clothing and even tool brands have recognized the industry's potential for profit. This growth can largely be attributed to the fact that workers in Japan's construction industry, many of whom are sole proprietors, are not restricted to basic company uniforms but have the freedom to dress in their own style, as long as they meet safety regulations.

Nice sir 👍🏼
It would be great to see a tour of the Sakuraco company as one of your videos!
I dunno why watching videos of people live their daily lives in Japan is so interesting, it just is!
These videos are really a breath of fresh air after the overdone "Japan is weird" content.
OMGosh where has this been my husband's 30 years as a roofer??? Here it's so hard to find clothing dedicated just for the trades. Not to mention I would love to have seen him look a little more pulled together for work. Thanks Paulo for showcasing another small business owner serving the community!
Air conditioned jacket?!? Yes please!
They have them in my area In Wisconsin
Maybe you could be the first person to provide a solution by local shop by opening a similar shop. I'm sure your husbee and his colleagues will love it.
@@kompila Kind of depends upon the import cost and what the minimum price would need to be just to cover Cost of Goods Sold + overhead. There are a few trades/vocational stores around here, but it's nothing like what's shown in this video. America tends to suck quite hard when it comes to vocational/trade wear and safety.
If those air-conditioned vests were available in North America, they would definitely be sold like "Hot Cakes." Sorry for the pun.
I can’t believe some of these awesome things that Japanese construction workers buy and enjoy is not available in America!! My dad could have benefited from these items before he retired!
I do like that she was given the option of continuing on the legacy of the shop. Her parents didn't seem to expect it or have the stigma that because she's a daughter she cant/shouldn't.
Love to see she has brought in new ideas and passions to her family store.
Now I know where to get a good cooling jacket in Japan next time I visit. 😊
I always admire everyone's punctuality and ability to be an early bird and get up and go! I've been stuck in the night owl routine for so long that I can't switch back. But I am grateful for everyone who works so hard! Thank you!
Japan is advanced in this type of stuff. If I wear a vest like that in my country people would probably laugh and make fun. But it's a life changer for sure.
11:29 I see loads of linemen using this type of sun visor brim for their hard hats in New York.
I hope these day in the life videos never stop.
I put my life on pause for Paolo’s videos
Why aren't those fan jackets everywhere? They're a great idea. I see roofers and construction workers working in the sun in 30 C all the time where I live and I've never seen one.
Heated jackets and pants exist ?
I'd sure love one of those, I work in heavy machinery fabrication and welding inside a preheated excavator steel bucket is pretty much as close as it gets to working inside a functioning oven lol
The jackets are also not very expensive. They start at around $100.
I went to this shop in 2019 on my last visit. It’s awesome and a great surprise to see it on your channel. Thanks for the 懐かしい。
Another great video, I loved that the owner wanted to carry on the family legacy and can clearly see she is doing an excellent job ✨
Very cool to watch! I used to work in home mortgage/lending before going into customer support for a safety gear company that designs and sells similar products! I can relate to the owner and her husband, as it took a lot to start from the ground up in a completely different industry. I've been with this company 2 years now and it's been great! I never thought I'd learn so much about work place safety, tool drop protection, hi-vis clothing and so much more!
wow such a stylish couple. they look in their 20's not 40's. she is so hard working and with two small kids, I could see the anxiety of running the business and so much more, on her even with her smiling.
That's very cool! I spent the first decade of my working career in manufacturing, and I still love watching how things are made. In Australia, blue collar work uniforms are very generic and usually consist of some form of hi-vis, safety boots and in some places, helmets and safety glasses. Those vests with fans would be a godsend in Australia for tradies!
Problem was the trades business is different from country to country so hard ti find safety gear with special feature like inside cooling fan
This content is exactly why I keep waiting each Saturday for the next video . Keep up the good work 💪
I like the pigeon, he gets up early for work too!
Always has been
that jacket with fan in it such game changer tbh
OMG when I went to Japan, I saw the turtle painting on the wall and quickly took a picture, I LOVED it, now look at me watching an in-depth video!!! Thanks Paolo!!
this one was REALLY good! enjoyed seeing the quality and variety of tools in japan. its a parallel dimension
Mannen-ya is an institution, I shopped there for Urbex and fashion. It's quite inexpensive for rugged comfy and quality products. Perfect for exploration and every-day use.
Their music gingle is famous. Thanks for sharing, this place is definitely worth it.
Perfect timing for your video. I’ll be in Tokyo next week for the last leg of my trip. Definitely will be dropping by and name dropping Paolo
I like this new series! Very interesting to see how regular people live their lives so far away.
I used to work for my japanese father in law in construction. I love these fan jackets, best ever! I still wear my fancy Asics work shoes in Germany =]
This is so cool! I love all the behind the counter vids, but it’s a real treat to see behind other businesses. Thanks! ❤
Paolo... your hot sauce is the bomb! I took it to work, here in San Antonio, Texas, the TexMex capital of the world and my co-workers love it! It is so tasty and great on breakfast tacos! But some can't handle the heat! I'm gonna order your new Habanera pepper one in the hopes that some other co-workers can take it!
Some of those items would sell quite well outside of Japan.
This was one of my favourites. Please do more construction related day in the life!!!! Please
Yay!!! Another video!!! Great start to my weekend!!😎😎😎
I love learning about Japan's different jobs. I just wish they took some time off and didn't feel like they were hurting others.
Bro, mowing the lawn in the southern regions of US with one of the AC jackets would be amazing, as well as those pants.
My wife works in a factory facility and requires composite shoes to be worn. The fact they have NB, Asics, etc...is absolutely amazing.
W Paolo as always. Love the vibe of the couple and the worker
these are so good. thanks for creating them!
Honestly that jacket is SUCH a smart idea. I need one when I visit japan in the summer haha
Just when I wonder how you'll find something interesting, you do just that! This was so interesting and I learned so much!
Always look forward to a day in a life video! :)
Well done, Paolo! One more 3njoyable video!
"...the key to success is understanding customers need..." - we live in an age when a Japanese small-shop owner understands business better, than multi-billion dollar companies' management... :D
I like this new style of your day in a life videos, feels less display-ish and more human. :)
I always look forward to your "day in the life" posts.
great work helping small business with these typical workday videos
Gorgeous and smart business woman. Rare finding.
This new series is awesome, please more!! :)
Always fun . you always ask great questions which makes these video's so much more fun . Paulo ,what about doing a video on a Japanese Hobby shop. It's such a popular thing in Japan . There is a famous Japanese Model builder who goes by Wild River and he owns a Hobby shop somewhere in Tokyo. He's done Interviews at his shop before.
These videos make me happy
I'm in Shinjuku right now, I'm on vacation here from Seattle Washington. Small world!
Thanks I was waiting for the video
Good to see the business is good.
Mannenya! Went there a few years ago…that wall painting is classic
This was such an interesting topic. Thank you for sharing this with us
I wish American stores would clean up in front like the Japanese
A neighbor of mine used to work at Chipotle and they trained her to broom the front of the store and parking lot and clean the door before opening.
Tjhat was pretty cool to watch. Seeing what other people do for a living is fascinating 😊
As a construction worker my self i thank you for the video and next time i am in Tokyo, this is going to be on one of my list of shops to visit. I really want one of them fan jackets :D
I love these videos so much! :) I haven't really had much exposure to the various trades and shops when I lived in Japan, but I do still wear jika-tabi on a regular basis.
Paolo will never run out of workers to film in japan lol 👍
Truly original content.
I love those videos so so much ❤
Very kool,sir. Keep em coming
The Japanese work gear shops are so awesome, wow she's juggling a lot plus kids.
I wonder of her I've cream ads were ones I saw . . ?
Paolo, can you cover some automotive shops: used, new, performance and repair types in Japan also?
Hi Paolo, could you do a video about the Japanese rice cookers Zojirushi or a day in the life of someone working in their Japan factory/office?
Thank you for featuring this! I've been meaning to find those Tobi pants when I visit next month
That fan inside clothing is definitely worth to buy
Day in the life of the Japanese Coast guard
That was quite the contrast of stories. Starts out with a cool shy guy at a lonely clothing shop, and ends up a with a queen who inherited the whole building and controls his whole life. :D
nice one Paolo. i love Burtle's stuff
I spotted so many smart things. Like the brim of a hat for your helmet.
This makes me wish i could visit during the Christmas shopping season to pick up some things for my dad who is a commercial painter- That vest would help so much! He is always working outside for work or gardening.
Try google searching 'multi pocket vest' or 'painters gilet' and maybe you'll find something he would like.
Better get him a ground hat with veil so the sun not burning his face
Wahoo another Paola adventure
glad he made it out of nyc without getting mugged
The world would have been a better place if every construction worker around the world would have this jacket and wear it 🌞🌞🌞
Subway sandwich over there actually looks appetizing.
Japanese workwear afficionados will LOVE what the Germans do with workwear. Germans are fanatic about high-quality, high-tech workwear built for purpose and, in recent years, have established a very distinct style, far away from traditional work clothes (like Americans tend to wear).
4:21 Her husband is packing a straight up weapon in those pants 😂
I mentioned it last time, but will give reasons this time: If you create subtitles, to make them 100% perfect, even if they are japanese, they should be also on when the person is speaking japanese: Japanese "readers" might be deaf, and rely on the subtitles, and secondly, those subtitles are used by youtube to autogenerate subtitles into other languages that aren't English, for people that don't speak/understand English. "Hard" English subtitles are useless in these two cases. That being said.. I Love your videos!
We need Day in a life series back
very cool, very diffrent store / business. I would love to have one here.
At 10:35 I see Hobonichi Techo Planner in daily use. Its nice to me cause I do use Hobonichi Techo for two years and just bought one for 2025.
I’m going to this shop next time I’m in Tokyo.
If they could do an English language option on their web site and offer international shipping they could sell a TON of work shoes. They may not realize that the sports brand safety shoes are not widely available outside Japan. That's one thing I always buy when visiting Japan, the range of styles form Asics, Adidas, Puma, etc is absolutely massive. I'm lucky my foot size is just on the limit for the "normal" shoe size stocked by stores but doing online sales they could access and supply larger sizes from their suppliers without holding floor stock.
True, I wish there was more selection for sport/athletic work shoes. But at least they are becoming more popular in the past few years. I don't ever want to buy those ugly New Balance 626v2 shoes again.
I love this.
Hi Paolo, another great video. Thanks for posting. I'm still waiting for A Day in the Life of a police officer in Japan please.🙏
U buy my trousers for work from a workwear shop as students love them. They are very hard wearing and actually quite trendy. They are actually good value for money. I wear the painters trousers I love them so much
Love your video's !! What about life as a japanese police officer ...Bar tender..... etc next...
This was so interesting. ❤
Those fits go hard
We can definitely make use of those battery powered jackets to cool us off here in Las Vegas. I wonder if it's possible to purchase one online ?
Might sound silly but I didn't even know that clothing stores for construction workers existed! Thanks for the educational video!
Yeah, there's different workwear stores for every major industry.
Another great video, you should do one on employees at a hobby shop (model kits, model trains) would be interesting.
I second that
that looks awsome & fun
waiting for the typical day in a japanese workday as a cleaner at the south east terminus for the southern outbound shinkansen platform in kyoto station
Great video Paulo
Can you do a Koi fish farm?
The shop could do international online sale. I’m in the market for the AC vest.
Another interesting video, thanks for another awesome video~ Have a great weekend
Why the reason of running the family business is always parents doesn't have power/want again to run business and plan to close it, and then out of nowhere their kids have the courage to step in without any experiences. Really anime material
ill be in tokyo in a few months. im going to look for those jackets with the fans😮
Love this series so much PAOLO!!! Construction is a massive industry so they definitely shouldnt have any shortage of business opportunities. Looks like theyre doing well for themselves and hope they continue that success. That was such an interesting business to learn about!
Cant wait to see even more different types of working situations. Even outside of tokyo??? Like a ryokan room attendant or a campground facility manager and also a small town tourist information center employee. Every small town ive visited in japan has one of those tourist centers and they do so many things. Id love to learn more about what they do!
those fan jackets 😍😍send me one to Brazil
