NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Where would you like to see us walk across in a day next? LET us know below! It's great to get back to TH-cam having spent the last few weeks hidden away in a room, wrapping up the Abroad in Japan book. Expect to hear more details soon, but for now enjoy the video!
And cheers to Pete for coming along for the ride.
A hike from one side of the valley to the other in Kyoto would be cool, and some great views too!
Hi Chris!
Osaka
Walk across frozen lake in japan if there's any
Wanted to let you know thanks for doing everything u do, keep up the good work :D
Tbh I think this has the potential to become a really cool series. Something like walking around citys in a day, you could start in like Osaka and just walk around and tour for a day, and go through all the other major citys
@Don't Read My Profile Picture we don't follow your name
Agree. It's a nice improvement on walking videos like Watched Walker (there's also another one who does Japanese places I like but I can't remember the name UPDATE: It's Rambalac). Shorter and with commentary.
Tbh, I'd like a night time version of this. Showing a city by day, and by night with some driving around, all very chill.
Hell yeah! Keen to keep up the fitness journey this year and it could be the perfect series 🍻
@@BillPeschel Yeah, it's really nice to get a feel for the citys, and the more layed back atmosphere is cool
Absolute blast going on the trip and I have NO DOUBT that my services have elevated me back to best American friend- right? ……. what do you FIFTH?
Liking this comment for Pete's ego. He definitely didn't tell us his comment had no likes... 😏
Found the comment Pete! It was a dig, but I found it!
VanGang send me!
Well, Pete, this video has secured you as my number one Abroad In Japan companion!
You're number one in our hearts Pete ❤️
Pete gives such golden retriever energy, I love how upbeat and positive he always is
this is the perfect way to describe him
@@MegaTinni tf boy 😭😭
Mr Peanut Butter
He is the least serious, bitter, jaded 40-year-old I have ever seen. LOL. Life is still a grand adventure for Pete. I frankly thought he was in in his early 30s!
I just love Pete. He brings so much positivity and joy to the table.. people really need someone like him in their lives
He's the American the Japanese thought American is
Bro those Japanese girls were feeling the vibe when he said "let's goooo" they like Americans too 😂
I'll pass thanks!
@@urbanprojectz Misery loves company I guess :(
I love friendly extroverted Americans like Pete
I am an old Korean lady aged at 67 who went to Japan to study in 1978 ~ .
Traveled other regions in Japan many times but Tokyo. Last July to August when stepping on the land, felt something unexplained about Tokyo. I couldn't visit much places to where I had been 44 years ago because the COVID 19. I will definitely revisit some other time. Thanks for this video.
67 isn't old :)
@@justforsneakz in the USA it’s pretty old
@@dioxviad Pathetic attempt trying to curse in romanized korean. And to an elderly person too, weirdo.
@@justforsneakz old for TH-cam comments section
beautiful comment :)
you underestimate how many people would watch a 12 hour video of you and pete walking across tokyo
Maybe get a job then?
yeah, the video could live on my third monitor while I am working lol
@@Lewjatan perfect video for watching/listening to at work
@@carlitox4721 Nah, you can follow along on a map, this is 100% walking; about 15-17km depending on his route.
@@Lewjatan life's going well?
I'm so jealous of how walkable Tokyo is. If you tried this in Texas you'd bump into an uncrossable highway, or find a bridge that had no pedestrian access, or just notice the utter lack of sidewalks in so many places.
in the Philippines you'd die halfway in a vehicular accident
@@Joaquin-xq5wo hey atlesst you can jaywalk there
When you say Texas but mean Houston haha
@@thepopeofkeke I would add Dallas, Waco, Corpus Christi, and Lubbock as well since I have lived in these cities in addition to Houston.
@@zezietzathihlan6522 you can jay walk, but you aren't guaranteed your life
Petes energy is so infectious. You can tell he expresses such love for Japan the way he talks about it
not just about japan but for the people he care about its insane he is so generous
Pete is a great sidekick, wingman, and friend with infinite good humour. Always glad to see him on this channel.
And the great thing about Chris is, he always let´s his guests take a major part of the spotlight from him for themselves to make these videos so enjoyable and fun to watch.
My man Pete isn't just a sidekick , he is a full roundhouse !
@@manfredstorm7599 my man 🤝
He's a breath of fresh air because there's little cynicism to him. Dude just vibes.
He's the star of the video
Hey Chris. Just wanted to give you a shout out for always making your vids available for Download. I live in South Africa and we're currently going on 17 years with rolling blackout.
Talking upwards of 12 hours a day because of our corrupt government.
So it means a hell of a lot that I can download and keep up with you during that.
Love the content man and appreciate you
wow, i feel so bad for u. Hope u are able to move away and start somewhere else what u deserve to be able to do.
South Africa is taking the hard route to reduce coal emissions.
@@MattNotAvailable Which is ridiculous on it's own as we are such a small country as it is.
No it's just been corruption from the start. People are dying in Hospitals because we can't keep the lights on.
@@Vugen18 Appreciate that so much. I'm here looking after my mom and will do anything I can to help.
But yeah, it's so so tough when food spoils, Robberies are at an all time high etc.
Kinda made you wished the apartheid is still a thing there.
Pete is a treasure - happy to see him every single time, loved this video
If it isn't my favorite english speaking youtuber who's speech I cant understand. What brings you here?
what is rito sock man doing here xD love the videos
I love Pete man. I save these videos for when I'm feeling a little depressed and out of it, and the videos with Pete always cheer me up.
He's such a happy genuine person. I hope he's as happy inside as he is outside.
FINALLY THE CHAMP IS BACK!
If he worn the belt around Tokyo I would be laughing all day 🤣
look at my banner for mango!
Pete seems like the kind of guy that would give his money away if someone asked for it
Pete's cheerful upbeat character is the perfect foil for Chris's cynical and grumpy character
@@moooooofy Sounds like a you problem my friend
@@ludovica8221 the happy cheerful American and the grumpy Brit
@@moooooofy you sound incredibly fun to be around 😂
Giving ur friend money seems to be a pretty good way of gaslighting him into doing what u want lmfao
17:20 the polite stranger that shuffles out of the shot with his partner out of respect. This is why i love Japan. So polite.
When I was a study abroad student in Tokyo, I remember doing the 9km walk with some of my share house mates from Roppongi to Honancho station after a night out when the trains would shut down after midnight. This whole video was like a trip down memory lane. Thanks for the content Chris!!
It feels weird watching your channel after having lived in Japan for a few months as an exchange student. Before, when I watched your channel everything was like a detached feeling of splendor and wonder, but now, I have context. I've been in these places, I understand them, I know where they are and how to get there via train or subway or walking, what the vibes are, and what it's like to really be there. So, if watching your videos before gave me a sense of unknown wonder, now it's like a warm sense of familiarity. Not sure what I want to say with this comment, but thanks for your videos Chris, they're always a treat!
i feel like i would miss the sense of wonder to be honest!
I was just thinking this same thing while watching this video!
Same bro
@@Nicator_ I do, in a way, but instead I have a bunch of wonderful memories together with amazing people in those places, to replace it, which I prefer :)
Same here. It has been 8 months and I will leave in May but I've walked and travelled all across Japan and have seen a whole lot in Tokyo. Especially the area east of Asakusa around Sumidagawa. Haven't watched the video yet but I doubt they walked along the river there. If anyone is visiting Tokyo, go down to the riverside walkway at around Kuramae and walk your way up to Asakusa in the evening. Not only is it incredibly relaxing to walk along the river in evening, you also get beautiful views of it and Tokyo Skytree before eventually walking back up to Sensoji, which is always nicer to experience when the crowds are gone.
Pete brings a certain fun and innocence, to these videos. Maybe it's his constant upbeat attitude that seems in such contrast to Chris, who plays the serious man, but the combination cannot be denied - it's great fun!
It's like Dandelion and Geralt
@@Faemoonkin *Geralt and Roach _looks at backpack_
yes! i agree. also why joey and natsuki make good partners. but ryotoro...
@@m2coy Risottoro is the endboss, sent to put Chris out of his misery
(and irl he is a very nice guy I enjoy his videos on his channel very much)
This video is the first video I watched after I turned 53 years old. Today is my birthday. My birthday is 10-12-70. Chris, I always like watching your videos. I wish I had money and a US Passport for me to visit Japan. You have been awesome.
My wife and I watch your videos casted on our TV. We both remark how high the production quality on your videos is, it's really like a high quality documentary and you do it all without the massive production queue! Really appreciate the time and effort that goes into these videos. P.s. Nice work on the chessboxing, can't believe you sacked your Queen and still won haha
Pete always makes me smile, he comes across as such a lovely and genuine person. Chris you're alright too. 😘
Chris you... you alright
Yo pete,you thought we wouldn't know if you use a different account 😜
ANY VIDEO WITH PETE!! IS INSTANTLY AMAZING!
this man just brings so much comfort and happiness in whatever he does! Just seeing him makes me smile. Truly the best companion to have on a 20km walk
I am with you! I just absolutely adore Pete! His vibe is just so comforting.
POWER OVERWHELMING!!!
HERES JOHNNY
Your special guest premiertwo was the best cohost you’ve ever had. He’s personable, funny, and not awkward like some of the others.
Definitely bring him back!
Hi Chris, I've been meaning to thank you for your hard work and content. My wife and I finally went to Japan on our year long planned honeymoon, of which we've always wanted to visit, and your videos made it more easier for us to decide on what to explore. 17 long walking days through Tokyo, Mishima, Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka and Nara, from where we will always cherish our memories from our experiences and the hospitality of the people... Needless to say, we are already saving up for our next trip back!
Anyway, heres a place I dont think you have been to yet and may be of interest: Mishima Sky Walk, towards the Lake Ashi in Hakone.
Cheers!
Pete immediately sent himself up the ranks to one of my favorite Abroad in Japan side characters at 13:43. The phrase "Oh really? Good, cause I don't give a shit" is such a powerful line.
I cackled so hard haha he was so aggressive
Pete is such an amazing human, every single time he's in a video it just makes it 1000% better. No offense to Connor or any of the other boys, but i'm part of the Pete gang.
ahh yes pete route
I dislike all Connor video. Guy is like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. Pete is where it's at.
@@mmmdawe Pete is the True Route.
Same here! He has great humour and a great on screen character
Def more Pete 3000
You should do more videos with Pete, he's such a fun guy, he makes every video better, and he can use the exposure.
Chris surrounds himself with the best human beings! Gotta love the positivity these guys spread wherever they go.
He surrounds himself with the best human beings AND Rissotoro.
I’m kind of glad you’ve accepted a sponsorship. Your content tends to be really high quality so if you can monetize it (aside from the standard TH-cam monetization), go for it. You definitely deserve it.
As long as it's not Raid Shadow Legends, I'm fine with it 🤣
@@secret120 u mean "APEX RAID OF SHADOWS"? ahha
This is such a good concept for a video. Instant click.
@@teslagasoline5629 If you think about it, it would be much stranger to discover that all you TH-camrs you follow don't actually watch any other TH-cam videos.
@@teslagasoline5629 o big chance that those do exist. however those people will most likely also not do interviews.
go away
@@teslagasoline5629 Linus from Linus Tech Tips has entered the chat.
@LegalEagle i see you places nobody would dream of
An episode with Pete is always a blast! His humor and personality always makes my day.
Pete has to be one of the most naturally funny and laidback dudes on the interwebs
Pete's such a good sport on camera! He's got the golden combination of stage presence to be funny, and humility to keep things professional! Thanks for bringing him along Chris!
Give us more of Pete! His positivity is contagious.
Japanese cities are very safe. One night I walked home from work for a few hours instead of taking the train. It was refreshing.
Are you a man?
@@spicybeantofu does that have that big of a difference?
@@aka.vision834it does for stupid people
@@aka.vision834yes an no
Chris and Pete are such opposite personalities, I love Pete's energy and humor!!!
Something you missed in your walk, between Ueno and Akihabara, there is a huge street dedicated to kitchen/chef supplies. If you love cooking it is a 100% must go area.
Kappabashi-dori!
not like it used to be, lost its original charm, all the small owner old pottery/kitcheware shops are gone and replaced by more upmarket versions for the tourists
Man, it's so damn hard not to love all of Chris's friends.
Not sure why there's such a calm aesthetic to this video, the music, or the lightly overcast weather, but the vibe feels very different and I like it.
I like Pete, he seems like a really nice, genuine, humble, funny guy
the chemistry between these 2 is impeccable, a grumpy cat and a golden retriever
Just want to say congrats mate!!! Your health and lifestyle changes are having a huge noticeable effect, well done!!!
I was going to say the same thing - congrats Chris! Jawline coming through strong 💪
well their food choices are still questionable. All of their walking didn't cover calories they ate ahahah
pete's energy is so infectious, you found yourself a lot of great travel buddies!
Only 50 seconds into the video and I'm already very intrigued, 0:46 is a beautiful shot!, you have a great eye for composition, I appreciate your hard work in putting these vids together
Looks like Midgar
american pete has to be one of my favourite guests, hope to see a lot more of him (and possibly interacting with a bunch of the other past guests?). great video as always chris!
I loved this! Maybe you could walk the Kyoto temple stretch one day if you haven't already!
that would be cool, he said he'd bo open to making this a series in another comment thread
no ,u do it!
Hope we get to see you in an Abroad In Japan video someday!
Hello there, have to say, your cosplays are awesome
She was on Trash Taste already, so there's that.
Interestingly quaint adventure compared to all the other bombastic ideas from the channel, but Chris really knows how to give it the bravado of something like Journey across Japan for even the smallest ideas. Also can't get enough of Chris and Pete, these two are the perfect adventure duo
This is a really cool video format. I really hope you do more of these. Appreciate the work you put into this!
Pete is the most authentic, lovable, awesome person. What a great companion for a journey
I love videos like this so much! I'm disabled and really cannot walk far at all which means I'd never be able to do something like this but I absolutely love exploring and adventure so getting to live through it through videos like this is really special, hopefully one day I'll make it to Japan for a trip and be able to experience it in a way accessible to myself! Cheers for the amazing vid as always 🫶🏼
disabled here also, but spend ages on Streetview, and really appreciate videos like this so It almost feels real
I’m in the same boat, disabled but love to explore and have crazy adventures. I hope we both find ways to find excitement in trips to Japan one day.
Did you see the person in an electric mobility chair near the beginning? They must be available for rent in Japan.
I realise I may be suggesting a youtuber you may already know about, but have you ever watched Rambalac, or even Tokyo Explorer?
They help fill in the gap between Chris' videos...
@@bandiceet Tokyo explorer yes, the other no.. Thanks for the tip :)
I love your channel Chris! Can’t wait to see more!
Just great fun. The music, the sights, the fun you guys had -- well done, and we want more! Thanks for another fun time.
Finally! A new video! Glad he’s back!
Many thanks man! 🍻 Hugely appreciated! Will put it towards the next episode 🥳
@@AbroadinJapan wow. Didn’t expect a response. Thank you for taking time out to respond to a fan. I appreciate it.
Man, I love your videos. It's helped inspire me to visit the world despite my fears and so I'm putting money aside to take a trip maybe next year. I'm happy to know theres so much more out there to see
This was so amazing!! Learned so much!! Once again, thanks for all the amazing adventure content!! And thanks for including Pete!
Pete is spot on about just how nice it is to be available to walk places versus having very little within walking distance here in America unless you're in a big city. It's very isolating so I spent most of my vacation in Tokyo just walking the streets because I had the freedom to do so.
I cannot express how much I loved this video. It's an indie adventure in a super interesting setting with high production value and very likable presenters. What more would you need?
just wanted to say this might be your best video yet Chris. Thanks for pushing what you can do with your content and making these dope videos
Loved it.
Pete is awesome! He brings so much energy to the videos.
I actually did something similar to this back in 2019!
I took the train to Akihabara, and from there, I walked back to my airbnb in Setagaya.
It was around 27km because I took a detour to Ebisu on the way hahaha.
Was super fun to just walk and see everything along the way and I would love to do it again one day!
Pete is such a gem ❤️ I was smiling and laughing throughout the video thanks to you two
Good watch. Lots of banter n great social vibe.
Pete just lights up every room he is in. Love him and love this new concept for a series.
God this makes me want to come back to Japan so bad. I went there with my sister and my mom on 2020 (before COVID got serious) for 30 days, we travelled across the whole country and averaged like 20km. walked per day! I think just walking is one of the best things you can do in Japan. We enjoyed it so much and got some of our best memories there. Best trip of my life.
ur legs mustve wished for u to feel the same torture they did walking that much omg
its so chill to watch those videos
This was a really good video thanks! Now I have some ideas for when I visit!
Saw a comment like “this could be a series” as I started watching this, was doubtful but now ending this video, man I need a series, different guest, different areas, different experiences. We need this series!
More videos with Pete please! His charisma is off the charts and its always a pleasure to see you two interact!!
This video was so well done and one of my favorite videos that you did. So happy you got Pete on here I can tell from the comments a lot of the viewers were loving him too! ☺️
This video retreads a surprising bit of the city I'm familiar with. I love it. And Pete is such a joy. Thank you for sharing such a lovely walk. That's a lot of distance. What a cool day!
God Pete is hilarious. Best travel guest ever!
Pete seems so "full of life" and i think with chris together it makes for such an interesting and enjoyable contrast that gives the videos a certain charm. you made my evening a very pleasant one, thank you for that!
I loved it! You two made a great atmosphere in the video, and the idea alone is cool! More please!
This is probably one of my favorite videos of you, for sure!
It was funny, interesting, and even your sour humour was really nice balance to this video! Your guest is also super fun! I'm gonna watch the other videos with him too!
It reminded me of when my cousins from other cities would come by São Paulo and we'd walk all over town! I know you said that it's a big walk, but it also reminded me that some parts could def be those walk around streams, very chill, but probably tiring to make yes?
I hope I get more money this month bc I'm curious to get the full version from patreon now!
There needs to be a chicken counter in the corner as the journey continues. Love Pete's backpack progressively getting more and more odd. This would be a really enjoyable series to watch if you decide to keep walking around cities in a day. Pete's always great for hyping you up! Lovely video.
Wonderful! Glad to see Pete getting more exposure and recognition and the Pete/Chris combo is excellent (Emma/Chris is 2nd). A series of this with guests would be fantastic. Nick for food or fitness opportunities would be fun. And of course Sharla.
Amazing video. Great chemistry between you and Pete. Some lovely cinematography and the production was on-point. This is a return to form Chris. Keep it up! Japan ftw!⛩
I enjoy how the video captures you from the begining! The niaration from Chris is spot on and captivates you just like any 3xA movie would. I think that is one of the amazing secrets why this channel is so good. That and ofc Natsuki.
Pete really came into his own on this video! Brilliant tour through such a diverse city!
Pete's comedic timing is truly phenomenal 😂 I love his sense of humor
Great content!! I am so jealous you get to do this sort of adventure.
Man this video was amazing. Can’t wait to watch it again.
Absolutely love this series please keep these coming. Would love to see an episode that includes all of the trash taste boys, Pete, ryotoro and of course the shining star of the entire channel Natsuki! That would be chaos in the best way. I gotta say Pete is really coming into his own. He's always been funny but his camera presence and timing is great and I think he deserves some props (his twitch channel is PremierTwo.) Chris you seemingly never run out of creative ideas for videos and shining light on Japan in a cinematic, interesting and sometimes hilarious way and your personality always shines through in the videos and in the style of editing and cinematography. You guys are top tier content.
I'm going to Tokyo in April so this timing could not be better! Planning my 9 day trip now, a tough challenge
My recommendation would be to visit a different part of the city each day and really explore everything around it there.
Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Akihabara (if you like anime, also not a full day worth of exploring), Asakusa, Ginza, Minato
In the evening you take the train to a different part of the city and find a place to eat dinner there.
Then leave two days open in case you find places that really resonate with you, which you wanna visit again.
Personally I love just walking around Tokyo seeing what I can find and the best experiences I had where always spontanious ones. If you are the adventurous type of person I wouldn't recommend planning your meals too much. Just make a list of things you wanna eat, then look at the list during the day, pick something you like and find a place that offers that.
I am Japanese, but Japan has no future
@@d4c_lovetrain0 That's cool, but nobody asked?
Aww man its my dream to travel in Japan for a month but I'm broke. Have a good time man and Id suggest traveling rural areas too
@@d4c_lovetrain0 Literally no one’s asking for that
This video definitely fills that void in my heart when I can't travel to Japan yet, thank you Chris 🥹🥹
Great video! I agree with Pete's statement. The ability to go from one place to another just by walking without needing to get in a car and drive is fantastic.
Pete: That's awesome
Chris: No, you're awesome
Pete: YOU'RE awesome
My heart, I can't. 💙
Loved this man! Honestly, when I visited Japan walking was the BEST way for me to see things. That, and my skateboard which I both recommend and don't recommend depending on how much you value your life.
Love the dynamic between you guys. You seem to feed off each other. Love it.
Loved this!
A series of Pete and Chris walking around Japan would be dope. It's a different perspective than Journey Across Japan that I think is going to do really well. Maybe I'm biased because I do enjoy those POV 3 hour long videos of some guy walking in literally any city in Japan.
This is such a good idea: I am an "explore-on-foot" kinda person myself and find that tourist guides that have you hopping from subway to subway make me miss out on so much inbetween. Especially on all the food 😁
This makes me wanna visit Japan so much more! I’m not even a huge fan of the city life but being able to experience all of this at least once would be amazing. Hopefully we get to see you guys check out other cities that aren’t as popular to us foreigners!
Awesome content, some of the best you've created.
God I love Pete. He's one hell of a ray of positivity
Me and my son walked just over 30 miles on our first day in Tokyo. Averaged around 20 miles a day for the rest of the trip. So much to see and do.
I have done many walks like this, and I think it absolutely is the best thing about Tokyo.
This is my favourite way of seeing Tokyo or any city. The stuff you find along the way is always better than the tourist spots you plan on visiting
I dont usually comment on videoes but this is one of the better ones I have watched by you lately! Theres a charm to the spontanity that happens when you travel, and you captured it in a great way in this video!
