That truck jump scare gave me PTSD. I bloody love British Hills. It was a lot of fun wandering around it trying to find things like some kind of crappy fetch quest video game. Genuinely felt like we’d left Japan for a couple days!
It is surprisingly similar to some places here in the UK. I was impressed by how a lot of the buildings really seem to have the vibe of pubs or tudor style houses. However, next wacky weekend I am expecting pain and suffering :)
@@WilfChadwick same with the Dutch/English from New Amsterdam/York, putting green statue ladies, skyscrapers and huge roller coasters all over the place, just like the roller coasters that snake between buildings back home.
I went here while I was going to high school in Japan. They get a lot of their business from High School field trips. The tables were set up in rows and the food was set up as a buffet instead. They also had little classes for candle making I believe. I remember seeing hundreds of students running around in the capes, it was just like Harry Potter. I recommend visiting this place. Funny seeing this place again after 6 year :) Thanks!
@@emilyjean9128 How did you even manage to convince your parents to go to a foreign country while being in high school lol, it would be an instant no from my parents if I asked them to go to another country alone especially when its across the globe.
Is it weird that when I go on student exchange to Japan I’m hoping to go here? Go all the way to Japan to visit a British themed resort lol. I just want to run around wearing the cape feeling like I’m in Harry Potter. I’m going to Okayama so it’s probably too far away anyway.
I like the fact every time Connor or Chris talked about the food "This isn't British Food, it's delicious" lol I couldn't help but laugh every moment that line came up
Given that school children from all over Japan go there, it sounds like they're doing OK. They probably have crazy days where it's totally packed then slow days in between the school trips.
@@PerfectSense77 Yes! I went to there when I was junior high school.There were many classrooms so we took some English classes. The place was like Harry Potter's world and we really enjoyed that!
Imagine the staff see Connor saluting the Queen in the dining hall and think that’s what you’re actually supposed to do so the staff start doing that for “realism” and it spreads to staff in other UK-like pubs or restaurants in Japan and then Connor walks into one and wonders why they’re saluting the Queen
@@suuschef well then they have chemistry of being British. Stop being a smartass about chemistry, Susan. Chemistry isn't just like couple in The Notebook movie, Susan

I worked at British Hills for 8 months back in 2017 as both a Receptionist and Tour Guide in the Manor House (Castle), and also in Ye Old Gift Shoppe! It was honestly one of the best jobs I have ever had! Got a chance to meet so many amazing people, and all the management were so lovely to me. Genuinely, if anyone is looking to do a Working Holiday in Japan, and are from the Commonwealth, then British Hills is the place to go! There is a shuttle bus from the hotel that staff can use to get to the nearest down of Shin-Shirakawa, which has a Shinkansen Station that is only 1 hours ride to Tokyo, or Sendai. So getting away for a couple of days to explore Japan is very easy! Honestly, wish I could go back!
@@EleegY Unfortunately British Citizens are only allowed a single 1 year Working Holiday Visa. And since I don't have a degree, I couldn't stay in Japan as an English Teacher. Every now and then I look into getting sponsored to go back as a Personal Trainer (my profession for the last 10 years), but without a decent level of Japanese it is near impossible.
@@EleegY After some research, I have found out that studying Japanese in Japan on a Student Visa allows up to 28 hours of part-time work a week. And I am aware of a few English speaking gyms I could try find work at in Tokyo. Going back to Japan just became a whole lot more realistic for me. Suddenly I am filled with a whole lot of renewed vigour!
@@EleegY If anything, I just need to get Japan out of my system. I certainly wasn't ready to leave when my visa ran out, so maybe another year will be enough.

OMG!!!! I CANT BELIEVE YOU'RE THERE I used have an ESL teaching job here 15 years ago.. the tales I could tell 🙈🙈🙈 Weirdest job ever 🤣🤣 I used to teach scone cooking class back to back bc none of the other teachers liked cooking and swapped their kitchen shift with me. Trust me Chris you dodged a bullet ~~ the Fish and Chips that they used to serve tasted of bitter disappointment
really? these style houses remind me of typical south german style, i usually think of just the basic housing estate block houses haha for england/ireland
Honestly I'm pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Japanese English Hotel. They nailed the vibe of the old country Manor homes that you might find in the countryside. I guess just like how the old fashioned Japanese hotels are now a gimmick this is sort of the equivalent. Nobody in the UK would go out of the way to stay somewhere like this but they do exist and you can visit them if you want to.
If it's somewhere very cold, I feel people would book a cabin like this . Not for 400 dollars a night ofc, but something 80 dollars looks more appropriate price for this.
Ostriches aren't killed for those feather quills, they shed them constantly lol but the concern was cute. It's cool that place is in Japan, it looked like a fun time.
I went there with my girlfriend a couple months ago and agree that it had a very surreal feeling to it. I'm surprised the two of you didn't take the scone baking class together, it would have been adorable. Also, the fish and chips are served in the pub for lunch, I'd say it was quite accurate and only missing the mushy peas.
I used to live in house like that! Grade 2 listed, old beams etc. We didn't even modernise it much because we rented for a few years. Loads of the houses in the village looked like that. Add a tv and modern kitchen inside, and a co-op/post office combo outside and I'd be convinced

The authentic English experience including two drunk blokes faffing around in the snow. Truly the most realistic taste of British life outside of the Isles.
I know its because of your job but i gotta say this: You are from the UK, and at that time you were living in Japan, and out of all places, you live in a place that look and feels like the UK, while in Japan!?!??!
@@mohathar26 was the only company who would give me a job without a degree! - I worked on reception and I didn’t know any Japanese but was from UK and that’s what they wanted!
10:33 Epic cape flip there Connor! Looks like a lovely place. I'd love to go there if I ever had the chance. I enjoyed your exploration tour, something I'd happily spend hours doing myself!
Ok, my fist impression was that the "castle" was a bit of a letdown compared to the rest because, from the outside, it looked a bit like a cheap facade thrown onto otherwise normal building, like you'd see at an amusement park. But when they returned for dinner, and we saw the inside HOLY SHIT! I take it all back as they clearly sunk an obscene amount of effort into that building. In fact, if we judge a place by the effort someone put into it, then that place is an easy 11/10 for me.
man one of my favourite things about Connor’s content are not only the subject and his humour but Mudan’s god level editing. Needed more Mudan appreciation
I get why Chris says that he has to “babysit” Connor when they’re together. In the videos with Chris he does come off as more childlike and adorable. It’s cute. The food made me hungry! I love the quality of the video. Everything is beautifully shot and edited. It’s very calming watching these two just enjoying their time somewhere interesting.
OMG this was so exciting to watch haha my favourite Japanese drama, Hana Yori Dango was filmed at British Hills and the castle was used as the estate of the Domyouji family. It brought back so many memories seeing you guys walk around inside it. I always wanted to go there but since it's literally in the middle of nowhere I always passed on it haha thanks for showing us around!
@@putrijoyceirawati2638 yeah it's so amazing! It looks identical to the drama, originally I thought it was just the outside they used for the drama but the inside is the same too ❤
My grandparents house looked like this 10 years ago. It's weird seeing how similar some of this stuff is. The ceilings, door handles, furniture and things.
I have to say, their selection of Scotch at 14:18 is on point. Those are all pretty good single malts, nothing blended or less than 10 years old. Very nice attention to detail, I hope you two took the opportunity to partake.
I think the one thing that I always look forward to when you both travel and collab, are the bizarre yet extremely appetizing meals you guys seem to always encounter.
Honestly, as a British person who's grown up in the countryside in England, as well as having many holidays in Whales to visit family, these houses are scarily spot-on. Though, due to new and more modern properties, these houses remind me of the local pubs scattered everywhere .... definitely a bit freaky....
Do you know that they have dedicated magazines for British monarch? I mean they have one for the chrysanthemum throne but having another country’s royal family's dedicated magazines is next level worshiping
Japan's tourism focus inward than foreign tourist as the efficient rail networks and local protectionism make it one of the 8 Nations which its tourism doesnt overlap around local business.
@SirSnufflelots yeah they even adopted British peerage system before abolished by the Yanks. They really think their equivalent in the west is the Islands of Britannia. To my experience, Japan is pretty much Britain Asian long lost brother/sister minus sarcasm.
We loved this place so much we visited twice. The scones made me CRY on camera 😭😂. We broke af so we just went for the tea but it was lovely to see the inside of the actual hotel! Also with Chris on scoffing cake without a fork tbh 🙈.
Wow, this brought back some visceral memories. Back in my junior or senior year of high school, I remember going to British Hills along with a Japanese high school class as part of an English culture/language experience. I distinctly remember we were taught (forced) to use our knife and fork the "proper" way during dinner in that huge dining hall. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Connor and Chris!
I was not expecting a fully decked out manor your can just wander around drunk in😆 This actually looks really awesome. Also Connor in a baseball cap wandering around a British manor is such a mood.
Chris and Connor are peak older brother/younger brother shenanigans 💀💀 Chris: every time we go on vacation, HE’S the one who gets to relax in the onsen, HE’S the one who gets the bath!!! Classic younger sibling privilege
I knew that the castle reminds of some jdrama! Once Connor and Chris explored inside, it was the same castle they used in the 2005 Hana Yori Dango/ Boys over Flowers starring Matsumoto Jun and Inoue Mao! It’s nice to see that the castle is still well cared off !
Wow. I acuallly worked at Brithish Hills in 2020 for a couple of months and gotta say, its quite nice for a couple of days. you should have showed the Bar, which is easily better than most things there . And the weather is really British all year round . Its a great place to work if you dont care much about social possbibilites , but it was one of the most unique by far :D
My fiancee went there and dressed up. She looked great. Also really interesting to see that the wooden rafters were crafted by hand in the same style as Nagoya Castle's were. You can tell by the chippings marks on the surface.
Joking rivalry aside, this was really pleasant to watch; it reminded me of some of the older north-eastern American towns. My adoptive family's home had a lot of the same interior & I love the feel of closing an iron latched door.
Chris and Connor as a couple are making Joey and Garnt look bad. I think once Sydney and Aki see this they should demand the same romance Chris is providing Connor.
If it wasn’t for videos from people in others countries or visiting other countries, I wouldn’t know places like this exists! I’m in Southern California, I need to travel abroad more often, this is an awesome place! 💖😁
Why is drunk Connor jumping in the snow ME?! 😅😅😅 You my face hurts from laughing so much, you guys together and your vibe is just pure gold! Much love from Arizona 💜💜
I've lived in a ~500 years old house with a similar architechture (mordernized obviously) in France and I loved the place. Kind of crazy to think about all the things these buildings have seen and yet they're still very much functionnal today.
Fun fact originally you would take things off the communal platters to your own plate with a serving item and then eat the treats with your hands. The idea was everything was supposed to be finger food, and that's why the lace gloves ladies used to wear visiting/for afternoon tea were fingerless. So Chris actually got it right.
I already love Chris and Connor’s antics, but the editing made this video hysterically funny - gg Mudan. I feel like this is the best Wacky Weekend yet
Omg. The best bit Chris - "take what we want, it's the British way". Followed by the facials had me laughing out loud. As a person from a colonialised country - I liked that 🤣
Wow…..!! This was such a fun episode. Chris and Conner should come back again in the summer. There’s such good content here. I loved everything..I’ve got to say here British Town had great GOOD TASTE by NOT to putting out those horrid lace doily covers over the backs of the furniture. One piece of authenticity that was not missed 😏...THANK YOU !! 👌❤️
I love Connor's energy and personality so much im gona cry This is such a funny and also somehow warming video im sad but in the good way Idk so much feelings😭😭😭
I am hopelessly in LOVE with these Tudor style houses 😭😭 I wish in England we had more Tudor style houses, the outside black and white design is gorgeous and the interior is so fancy :') It isn't very modern, but our modern buildings are shitty & I'm sad. I'd live in that lil British Town, aw the snow would break the immersion but like snow ❄ so it's ok
Initially thought this was the British town that Chris went to with Rissotaro on his channel, but guess it's a different place. Would be interesting to visit since it's the only 'British' place they've visited that's scored quite favouably across the board instead of being just 'okay' or 'meh', especially considering that the price wasn't too bad either.
Chris should always use an ostrich feather pen. Like in public or at meetings etc. Just pull one out of your sleeve when you need to sign something. You both made my Sunday fun! Thanks for another wacky weekend!
This video gave me all the nostalgia as I used to work here. The afternoon tea was my go to on my days off. I used to work in the dining hall. Wonderful video!!
I used to live in a cottage that looked just like that inside, beams and all, we had two staircases, wooden floors, weird carpets, etc. this is so eerie. My god.
That truck jump scared me 😭

@@Haggis-Giggles4692It is the Foie Gras the Wellington was stuffed with that is banned in the UK.
they need to add a Greggs then it would be 100% the true experience, that and some real milk
@@citizenA-Z From what little I know about Greggs and Japans love of fast convenience food, I think a Greggs would do weirdly well in Japan.
Nothing beats The Chris-Connor duo. They're the funniest!!
I USE TO WORK AND LIVE HERE FOR 7 MONTHS! I’m from the uk and this was One of the best experiences of my life, everyone is soooo friendly! 😊
Is the food really that good?
I know its because of your job but i gotta say this: You are from the UK, and at that time you were living in Japan, and out of all places, you live in a place that look and feels like the UK, while in Japan!?!??!
@@Chronis67 it really was!! We had fish and chips and other British foods in the pub also!
@@mohathar26 was the only company who would give me a job without a degree! - I worked on reception and I didn’t know any Japanese but was from UK and that’s what they wanted!
Still got to travel the whole of Japan on my days off tho 🙌🏻
Did anyone else actually jump a little when the truck appeared suddenly? Because I sure as hell did and that kind of stuff doesn't usually get me lol
I screamed for real
It was so scary, almost as terrifying as Chris eating that carrot cake.
A little? I had a heart attack
I can't even remember the last time I flinched at a video but this made me jump
Timestamp?
I always love when Connor & Chris make videos together
Connor and IronMouse*
10:33 Epic cape flip there Connor!
Looks like a lovely place. I'd love to go there if I ever had the chance. I enjoyed your exploration tour, something I'd happily spend hours doing myself!
he should have worn it the whole video.
Connor: "Twelve thousand dollars"
Mudan: "yes, of course."
$1,200
what?

@architgogoi8060 Twelve Thousand isn't Twelve Hundred. About 10800 difference.
The editing this time was top notch, that truck jumpscare got me good
I'll never get sick of these
Uhhh I was not expecting to see you here
Oy comrade!!!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Will you do a video on Ukraine?
What a suprise...I didn't know you're a Cdawg fan too
Chris and Connor are probably my favorite youtube tandem lol they never fail to make me laugh.Keep up the good work guys.
Ok, my fist impression was that the "castle" was a bit of a letdown compared to the rest because, from the outside, it looked a bit like a cheap facade thrown onto otherwise normal building, like you'd see at an amusement park. But when they returned for dinner, and we saw the inside HOLY SHIT! I take it all back as they clearly sunk an obscene amount of effort into that building. In fact, if we judge a place by the effort someone put into it, then that place is an easy 11/10 for me.
man one of my favourite things about Connor’s content are not only the subject and his humour but Mudan’s god level editing. Needed more Mudan appreciation
I get why Chris says that he has to “babysit” Connor when they’re together. In the videos with Chris he does come off as more childlike and adorable. It’s cute.
The food made me hungry! I love the quality of the video. Everything is beautifully shot and edited. It’s very calming watching these two just enjoying their time somewhere interesting.
Connor is like 25, Chris is like almost 40. As someone Chris's age, Connor seems very much like a kid.
Chris is only 31 LOL but might as well be almost 40 true

@@ldobehardcore yeah his boomer side adds him years.
We wouldn't like Chris otherwise.
OMG this was so exciting to watch haha my favourite Japanese drama, Hana Yori Dango was filmed at British Hills and the castle was used as the estate of the Domyouji family. It brought back so many memories seeing you guys walk around inside it. I always wanted to go there but since it's literally in the middle of nowhere I always passed on it haha thanks for showing us around!
Omg! That why this place looks so familiar!! Hana Yori Dango!
@@putrijoyceirawati2638 yeah it's so amazing! It looks identical to the drama, originally I thought it was just the outside they used for the drama but the inside is the same too ❤
I knew it!! I was like this looks sooo familiar
@@asadorama yeah it's so nice to see it again ahaha I just finished rewatching the drama again too 😁
My grandparents house looked like this 10 years ago. It's weird seeing how similar some of this stuff is. The ceilings, door handles, furniture and things.

I have to say, their selection of Scotch at 14:18 is on point. Those are all pretty good single malts, nothing blended or less than 10 years old. Very nice attention to detail, I hope you two took the opportunity to partake.
the best part is that this is typically a schoolchildren's destination
My favorite British duo in the internet. I genuinely enjoyed this video. I'm really glad that you guys met and came up with this series.
I feel like for English speakers like us visiting Japan. This would be the perfect place to go to celebrate Christmas.
I'm glad Mousey could eat while disguised as a Chris. That's very high tech! Props to whoever built the humatronic.
I think the one thing that I always look forward to when you both travel and collab, are the bizarre yet extremely appetizing meals you guys seem to always encounter.

I love drunk Connor and Chris. They're absolutely hilarious.
This is Connor's liminal space. His dreamcore.
The most unbelievable thing in this video was the snow. Haven't seen the snow in Wales for like 5 years
Japan has such well demarcated seasons
Honestly, as a British person who's grown up in the countryside in England, as well as having many holidays in Whales to visit family, these houses are scarily spot-on. Though, due to new and more modern properties, these houses remind me of the local pubs scattered everywhere .... definitely a bit freaky....
Wales*
@@lewismackay9533 Wheels*
@@RogierVJ Wholes*
Holy shit how could you survive many holidays in Whales?
@@skyla3083 The dude was making a joke, because you spelled Wales as whales, the animal.
I think the fact that Japan has *multiple* English themed towns is crazy!
Do you know that they have dedicated magazines for British monarch? I mean they have one for the chrysanthemum throne but having another country’s royal family's dedicated magazines is next level worshiping
Japan's tourism focus inward than foreign tourist as the efficient rail networks and local protectionism make it one of the 8 Nations which its tourism doesnt overlap around local business.
th-cam.com/video/-RAglyw6ySk/w-d-xo.html
@SirSnufflelots yeah they even adopted British peerage system before abolished by the Yanks. They really think their equivalent in the west is the Islands of Britannia.
To my experience, Japan is pretty much Britain Asian long lost brother/sister minus sarcasm.
@@tsukuneboy Ummm...yet Americans are more popular in Japan than the Brits....
We loved this place so much we visited twice. The scones made me CRY on camera 😭😂. We broke af so we just went for the tea but it was lovely to see the inside of the actual hotel! Also with Chris on scoffing cake without a fork tbh 🙈.
This is the first time I've seen your comments on one of their videos 😂 I need to go find the video you two did of your visit there.
@@LoveInTinglish it was all fun and games until I legitimately bawled like a baby 🙈😂
1:25 Jesus Christ! That scared the hell out of me
Wow, this brought back some visceral memories. Back in my junior or senior year of high school, I remember going to British Hills along with a Japanese high school class as part of an English culture/language experience. I distinctly remember we were taught (forced) to use our knife and fork the "proper" way during dinner in that huge dining hall. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Connor and Chris!
I was not expecting a fully decked out manor your can just wander around drunk in😆 This actually looks really awesome.
Also Connor in a baseball cap wandering around a British manor is such a mood.
These 2 are such a great pair.
They always make me laugh so much.
Chris and Connor are peak older brother/younger brother shenanigans 💀💀 Chris: every time we go on vacation, HE’S the one who gets to relax in the onsen, HE’S the one who gets the bath!!! Classic younger sibling privilege
th-cam.com/video/-RAglyw6ySk/w-d-xo.html
I knew that the castle reminds of some jdrama! Once Connor and Chris explored inside, it was the same castle they used in the 2005 Hana Yori Dango/ Boys over Flowers starring Matsumoto Jun and Inoue Mao! It’s nice to see that the castle is still well cared off !
I’ve only seen the anime and it’s been a while but I do not remember a castle in Boys Over Flowers?
@@queertherapy4919 It's from the 2005 jdrama. It was a good watch at that time. I havent watch it recently to see if it still holds the candle
@@himechama325 I know it’s from the jdrama but when did they go to a castle?
@@queertherapy4919 the castle of itself is domouji’s house
@@queertherapy4919 If you liked the anime you should try the 2005 jdrama. It is one of the best version for a lot of people!
Now that you've gone to British Hills you should try the Sweden Hills village too! It's eerily similar
Literally looks like ANY smaller town or village in Sweden, it's actually strikingly similar
They would have to bring Felix. They wouldn't be able to confirm the authenticity. Come to think of it that is a great idea for a video.
Wow.
I acuallly worked at Brithish Hills in 2020 for a couple of months and gotta say, its quite nice for a couple of days.
you should have showed the Bar, which is easily better than most things there . And the weather is really British all year round .
Its a great place to work if you dont care much about social possbibilites , but it was one of the most unique by far :D
My fiancee went there and dressed up. She looked great. Also really interesting to see that the wooden rafters were crafted by hand in the same style as Nagoya Castle's were. You can tell by the chippings marks on the surface.
the semi truck bit made me flinch so hard 💀
How can you make a British Town with no Fish n chips??
Shut up bot
@Atom Shut up bot.
One of the signs did say Fish n Chips, so it might've just not been available at the time
They do have fish and chips here, it's actually really decent
1:15 You really got me at the jumpscare! OMG! I will need some therapy after watching this... but still looking forward to many more wacky weekends...
Drunk Connor and Chris exploring the manor was fucking hilarious haha.
th-cam.com/video/-RAglyw6ySk/w-d-xo.html
Joking rivalry aside, this was really pleasant to watch; it reminded me of some of the older north-eastern American towns. My adoptive family's home had a lot of the same interior & I love the feel of closing an iron latched door.
Chris and Connor as a couple are making Joey and Garnt look bad. I think once Sydney and Aki see this they should demand the same romance Chris is providing Connor.

If it wasn’t for videos from people in others countries or visiting other countries, I wouldn’t know places like this exists! I’m in Southern California, I need to travel abroad more often, this is an awesome place! 💖😁
Why is drunk Connor jumping in the snow ME?! 😅😅😅 You my face hurts from laughing so much, you guys together and your vibe is just pure gold!
Much love from Arizona 💜💜
I've lived in a ~500 years old house with a similar architechture (mordernized obviously) in France and I loved the place.
Kind of crazy to think about all the things these buildings have seen and yet they're still very much functionnal today.
I love how the more Connor enjoys the meal the more British he sounds.
I like that connor is explaining a raised cistern with the chain flush and they put in a picture of a boiler :')
Fun fact originally you would take things off the communal platters to your own plate with a serving item and then eat the treats with your hands. The idea was everything was supposed to be finger food, and that's why the lace gloves ladies used to wear visiting/for afternoon tea were fingerless.
So Chris actually got it right.
This is true, but the cakes intended to be eaten with ones hands are usually considerably smaller lol
If Japanese people see you guys there, they might think you are part of the experience.
I already love Chris and Connor’s antics, but the editing made this video hysterically funny - gg Mudan. I feel like this is the best Wacky Weekend yet
What happens to the black guy who used to edit connors videos
So nice to see Chris happy for once.
He hardly abused Connor at all.
Omg. The best bit Chris - "take what we want, it's the British way". Followed by the facials had me laughing out loud. As a person from a colonialised country - I liked that 🤣
Britain was colonised multiple times.
Wow…..!! This was such a fun episode. Chris and Conner should come back again in the summer. There’s such good content here. I loved everything..I’ve got to say here British Town had great GOOD TASTE by NOT to putting out those horrid lace doily covers over the backs of the furniture. One piece of authenticity that was not missed 😏...THANK YOU !! 👌❤️
I love Connor's energy and personality so much im gona cry
This is such a funny and also somehow warming video im sad but in the good way
Idk so much feelings😭😭😭
Its...that feel
Local weeaboo discovers feelings and personality, more at 11

I am hopelessly in LOVE with these Tudor style houses 😭😭
I wish in England we had more Tudor style houses, the outside black and white design is gorgeous and the interior is so fancy :')
It isn't very modern, but our modern buildings are shitty & I'm sad. I'd live in that lil British Town, aw the snow would break the immersion but like snow ❄ so it's ok
Thank you Chris for giving me life with all the loving shots of Connor. Absolutely smashing.
Every 'bruh' moment got me in tears and howling with laughter. Haven't laughed like that in ages. This made my day, maybe month. Year even. Thank you.
Initially thought this was the British town that Chris went to with Rissotaro on his channel, but guess it's a different place. Would be interesting to visit since it's the only 'British' place they've visited that's scored quite favouably across the board instead of being just 'okay' or 'meh', especially considering that the price wasn't too bad either.
It is the same place.
@@massiekurpc no its not
@@kaito9836 Ryotaro and Chris went to British Hills. This video is in British Hills...
I was wondering about that. How come he didn't mention that he's been here before?

Knife and fork for sure, at least a spoon...😬 nice tour. Food looks amazing!

Chris should always use an ostrich feather pen. Like in public or at meetings etc. Just pull one out of your sleeve when you need to sign something.
You both made my Sunday fun! Thanks for another wacky weekend!
I never skip Connors sponsorships just because I love listening to him flex his voiceover and voiceacting skills- No way am I getting that game tho 🤣

Ikr same
genuinely that looked very authentic.
Whoever put that place together really knew what they were doing!
This video gave me all the nostalgia as I used to work here. The afternoon tea was my go to on my days off. I used to work in the dining hall.
Wonderful video!!
Connor really jumpscared me with that truck gag, bravo I wasn’t expecting that well done
I was eating not paying attention to the video, then looked up right and the truck. Nearly threw a bowl of boiling hot chili in the air.
I used to live in a cottage that looked just like that inside, beams and all, we had two staircases, wooden floors, weird carpets, etc. this is so eerie. My god.
I love the Connor Chris combo, it’s crazy how close in subs they are and just how contrasting personalities get similar they have
