Nice! I went a month ago, Dotonbori was bigger with the repetition of the same restaurants and it was very crowded. Kabukicho too, and the streets are more crowded than expected. While Yokohama was heavily condensed in game, Yamashita Park and the Bar District are very, very faithful.
@@SpaceSquid Yokohama felt the most peaceful and chill by the way, the blend of Chinatown, the Park, and the skyscraper district allowed for a really cool feel that I think more touristy areas like Dotonbori or Kabukicho can't capture. And for sure, hope you do more videos :)
As someone who lives in the middle of nowhere, virtual tourism like in Yakuza and Assassins Creed is one of my favourite activities. It's so cool seeing the real life analogues in videos like this, so I can't even imagine what it's like to actually take a look in person!
that’s so true! i live in the middle of nowhere as well, so travel is like my favorite thing to do. i think i have enough footage to maybe do one of these with assassins creed!
When you said small channel I thought you were joking, super cool video! There’s nothing like the Yakuza games, can’t wait to someday visit the real places!!
when i uploaded that video i had just hit 200 subs so im so happy this video is actually doing well (compared to my usual 60 ish views lol) hope you’re able to go visit them! its such a cool experience
Reverse case for me. Never played any Yakuza game but it’s been on my backlog since forever. Been living in japan for 9 months and I didn’t know it used real life locations. That makes me eager to play the games, I lived for 3 months in Tokyo and 6 in Osaka, and I feel at home in Kabukicho and Dotonbori especially.
I went to kabukichu last year with a friend of mine, it was pretty cool to see places later be used as an iconic landmark in yakuza, I didn't stay very long but I'd love to revisit it again in the near future, sadly there was no majima everywhere system
i tried getting a good pic of the red gate leading into "Kamurocho" when i was in Tokyo last month but I was too drunk and ended up getting too many people in the shot and it looked terrible lol
Last year, I was out with some friends at a restaurant they liked, and we ended up walking straight through Kabukicho on the way back. I didn't realize it until I was between several familiar landmarks. I did take a picture of the Don Quijote, but I didn't make my friends stop for anything else. I ended up walking back through maybe twice before I left Tokyo. Got a pretty good picture of the gate from right outside the station. Most touristy thing I ever did lol
I came to TH-cam for a reason I forgot after clicking your video. Great footage and editing! Heading to Japan for the first time this year and planning to make the stops myself. Good luck with your channel, dude. You'll find your niche.
Wise man say: people love Japan trips; even greater people love yakuza. Trip vids with reflections are entertaining. I think yours stands out with all the edits of pictures and videos mixed in with the narration. 👍 Thanks, dude! Can't wait to drag my buds to all the yakuza stops and "minigames" they won't understand~ Enjoy Infinite Wealth when you play it. It's a fun trip, too.
Great video , I've found out about the Yakuza games in late 2017 from watching a Twitch stream, then watched another full playthrough early 2018. Played Yakuza 0 on pc in 2018. Before that The Witcher 3 was my favorite game ever, 500 h played ,bought it twice on gog and steam, I love that game Now TW3 is out of my top 10 and 7 RGG games are in my top 10, I can't put into words how much I love this series, I've played Yakuza 0 every year since 2018
I absolutely adore this series. Its my fave game franchise. Seeing how its all real is cool, and I bet was surreal. I wanna move to Japan one day, maybe I'll get to have a similar experience.
My friend and I did the same thing last year; four weeks in eight destinations; Tokyo (Kabukichō/Kamurochō), Yokohama (Isezakichō/Isezaki Ijincho), Nagoya (Sakae/Kineicho), Kyoto, Osaka (Dōtonbori/Sōtenbori), Hiroshima, Fukuoka (Nakasu/Nagasugai) and Okinawa.

I went to visit real life Kamurocho but I couldnt access certain section until I was at a certain level. You must went during your new game plus to access all those area.
Went to Tokyo in August ‘23, missing it a lot 😔 I was super impressed by how 1:1 Kamuro/kabukicho are lol hopefully next trip i can do hiroshima or Okinawa, both places look like a ton of fun
I can't believe it, you became a Dragon... Also, im suprised this video is from a channel with lower than a 1k subscribers. Says a lot about the quality of the video
thank you so much! i’m so happy this one is performing better than like 50 views, but now im like crap i could’ve spent more time editing to make it better lol
@@SpaceSquidthere's a few TH-cam channels on here that live stream many locations in both kabukicho and dotonbori every single day. I spent hours looking for the exact moment I passed by.
that’s absolutely my plan, maybe if my youtube channel takes off and i can make a living someday off of content lol. either way it’s a big dream to get to spend some time there for a while
unfortunately i wasn’t driving anywhere, all trains. i absolutely love the public transportation in Japan, but next time id love to rent a car. the games make the freeway look so vibey, especially 5
I went to japan about a month ago, and I went to kabukicho multiple times. It was always fun to know my way around the place and walk around to see all the night clubs. I mainly wanted to try out girl bars. I went to 2 of them, where one, the girl only knew japanese and the other one, the girl knew english. The japanese one was a bit rough, but the english one was nice to talk to for an hour. It's also funny everytime when some japanese guy walks up to you asking if 'you want sex'. My real highlight was going to Onomichi. I loved that place so much, and Yakuza 6 really modeled it well. I will see every part of the city, and be like "no way, I remember that part of the town" to the street mall with a roof, to the really tight sidewalk on the road next to the hill. But I went to Onomichi to specifically check out Senkoji temple. There were a LOT of stairs, but I was too excited to see the temple so I just ran up them. And I gotta say that it was worth it. The Layout of the temple is extremely accurate to irl and the view is amazing. Next time I visit Japan, I will mainly check out Sapporo and Osaka.
nah, for the most part just hostels as i travelled around but in Tokyo i was in this really cool like hotel that had an art exhibit, but was in more the business part of the city and not really touristy
all the sega arcades are gone :( now they’re all called GIGO, they’re still great and it feels exactly how it looks in the games. no pee game tho that i saw :(
I can't believe they made kamurocho in real life, the Yakuza series must be really popular there in Japan.
for real, like they even have real crimes there it’s super accurate
@@SpaceSquiddo they have rubber bullets?
next time you come to kamurocho... look in the nearest blue trash can
thanks for watching majima :) you’re everywhere as long as you’re in my heart

I've found you again

this new yakuza vr mod is crazyyy

You have learned the Kiwami of telling story!
it’s always so jarring i love it
If you’ve played enough of the RGG games, odds are you can easily find your way through Kabuki-cho in IRL Japan…
The pure instinct to heading straight to the medicine store for some Staminan Royal
Yakuza became so popular that they made into a real place!
for real so cool of RGG to have made hundreds of years of history for their lore
Discovering yakuza was one of the best things ive done. I really wanna go in these places as well someday
Well... you should look under traffic cones more often.

do it! for sure do your research before hand, find out when to go that’s cheapest and least busy, but absolutely i’d say it’s worth it
Thanks for doing this. Id say visiting these places is a rite of passage for real yakuza fans worthy of a platinum trophy itself.
