Yep, definitely. It's been a big problem lately, fake accounts posing as me and offering gifts which will then turn into a scam. I block them and delete the comments, then they create another account. It's easy to tell that they aren't coming from my account by clicking on their channel icon. It will go to their main channel page where you can see they have no videos or subscribers.
I like how you tend to stray away from the tourist areas. I’ve discovered in my lifetime that you can find great adventures many times just by taking the roads/paths less traveled. Exploring the backroads often offer much more novelty and charm than the tourists routes.
Japan is such a vibe. Love these small towns and the scenes in them. Definitely on my bucket list to get there and see some of these more rural scenes. One can’t help being from North America watching videos like this and just seeing these homes and cities and wondering what life is like and who these people are that live there. That’s one of my favorite things about travel just seeing some open window or house and wondering about the people there and the lives they live
Your videos always inspire me to want to be conversational in return. I have a lot to say about a LOT of stuff, as you might have noticed, LoL! 1) You commented on the number of waterfalls, you saw in your travels, in this video, Gabriel. Waterfalls, to the Japanese, are cleansing, purifying. You will also see pots and containers of water (with what look like ladles in them) for washing one's hands. I love this touch. Feel free to use them and be seen cleaning yourself. The Japanese are cleanly. They like seeing the Gaijin or Foreigners be the same way! 2) Ryokan (Promounced Ree-Oh-Kahn) are Inns which usually are full-service. They are built in very scenic spots so that their guests can marvel at and enjoy the nature outside, too. 3) Foxes (called Kitsune) are good luck in Japan. You will likely see statues of them wearing red bandanas around their necks, for good luck, too. They are NOT always so nattily attired, but when they are, they look sharp. It's just like ZZ Top says: "Everyone's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man" (assuming all Foxy-Loxies are men, that is).
Gabriel, when you return towards Tokyo go and visit Hakone, there is a active vulcanic valley called Owakudani, there you can eat the black eggs cooked in sulfurous water, there is a cable car that takes up there. Worth a visit. Also there are many Onsen there. I went in one of them highly recommended. I really enjoyed visiting that area a few years ago.
That fish pond is actually a fishing pond (called "tsuribori") - people sit around the perimeter and throw their lines in to those pools and get their catch. Never done it myself and I don't see the appeal, but they seem to be popular. Many, many of them in Japan.
Funny that the only place I have been with ski lifts outside of snow was in Niseko. It was weird to see them with grass around. I am reminded of Japan. thanks. That zip wire down looked fun.
Hi Gabriel, oh yes Gabriel, going old school and just walking around seeking adventure wherever you can find it. I think you're prepared for fall, it's better to sweat than to be cold, it's early November and it isn't going to get any warmer. Nothing like the leaves changing color nature's way of telling us of the changing cycle along the crisp air. The sauna must be an awesome experience there.
In Nagano city, you must go to Zenko-ji👍 And for the trekking, I recommend you to go to Mt. Togakushi. It is close to Nagano city, the trail is quite dangerous but the scenery are breathtaking. And as you descend there are creek trail and it is very fun.
Nippon is pronounced Nippon. Nihon is pronounced Nihon. Both mean Japan. Nippon is older than Nihon. But both are correct. Even the Japanese government has not decided which is correct. Because both are already used in many place names, company names, etc... it's too late to change them. People usually use Nihon more often, but Nippon is often used in formal occasions.
Amazing autumnal leaves, red. orange and yellow colours. Not quite the same in the UK for autumn or the fall if you are using pre 1776 English in the USA lol.
Man you've been doing great work for a while. Respect and gratitude for taking me places. Your camera work is top notch, you're editing work is excellent, your audio is first rate, and your commentary is insightful and flows nicely. Happy trails. 🙌
Thanks for your wonderful walk around tour video again hiking Mountains there in explore the beauty of Nature ik Japan stay safe Godbless u from your solid fan supporter from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin 😍👏👍👏👏
if your looking for something different to do why not check out some live music? i know you like Punk and Japan has many good bands! Go see Gauze if they are playing
It's good to hear you talking with another foreigner finally. Hope you encounter more English-speaking people on your way of travel. Be careful and good luck.
Gabe, you’re not supposed to be in the area under ski lift. Sometimes you ignore traffic lights in another video. Follow rules if you don’t want to become our headache. Japanese hesitate to walk up and say “Don’t!”
Think about japan is you can experience magical stuff like this but it can't be access by train. Rent a car then explored you be shocked how much hidden place in this country.
Gabe, when you are at a Lawson, Family Mart, or 7 11, please avoid the American food (I have to admit, I love hot dogs, but you are in Japan!!). At least try an Onigiri. There are many different ones to choose from. And please take a look at TabiEats on TH-cam. They are currently sampling street food.❤
I bet if you showed people the sky lift and the mountain views to people that didn't know you were in Japan no one would ever guess that those views were of Japan.
In shrines Its a custom to put 5 yen coin into the colection box,pull the rope to ring the bell,that wakes up gods and then clap twice and make a wish.
Hi Gabriel. Just thinking about your accommodation costs for full time international travel. In Japan you're paying $60 per night. What do you try and average out at per night on your travels? Be good to get an average from a seasoned traveller for when we are budgeting for extended travel. Thank you, great videos from Japan 😀
@@ianwhittaker3041 Yes, potentially, but it depends on a lot of factors. That won't be enough in a lot of places where accommodation could be $70 or more. A big factor is which country you're in. That won't be enough in Switzerland if you stay in hotels and rent a car. But it might be enough if you stay in hostels and take a train every few days. If you're in India or Thailand it will be more than enough.
Someday, but I don't think they're open to tourism now and I wouldn't want to go anyway with their strict zero Covid policy. You never know when you might get stuck somewhere.
Seaweed is fucking gross. I'm not going to Japan. But thanks for the video. Travel fail wasnt that bad. At least you didnt get lost. I've been lost in the cascades at 5000ft yelling for help as the sun sets in 3 ft of snow in my shorts and no light or phone.

Calling Gabriel anti-sciemce (sic) is ridiculous. Have you ever read his essays? And he often talks about his being fully vaccinated, and wears masks whenever required. Yes, he is against wearing masks outdoors. Fresh air is a shared gift he appreciates.

@@wilfredotorres6628 yes today was my 2nd time, a month ago the 1st one , ignore everything
@@Ivyslife33 what exactly did they tell you because they gave me a song and dance about a Macbook and some other thing...
There's definitely a mystique to the mountains of Japan, especially with the autumn colours there

I'm thoroughly enjoying your tour in Japan. ☺️
I am really excited about the vlogs from Japan 💞💞💞

Kusatsu is a charming mountain town. 🏠🏠🏡🏡🏚 🌳🌳🌾

This is an excellent series Gabe. Safe trails.
Cool hiking views. Fall is such a nice season.
So much nature 🌳 beautiful place 😍
Wonderful hike . Enjoyed very much the fantastic tour to Kusatsu Onsen .
Gabe watching your videos are so relax and love how you explain everything to us.........................Japan series excellent so far
Some fantastic videos coming lately . Thoroughly enjoyable .
Cool, glad to hear it.
Awesome beautiful vlogging, hiking and scenery!!
It is a pleasure to watch.Thank you for taking us along on your Autumn hike😉👍👍
There are two ways to say Japan -
1) Nippon (older and more formal)
2) Nihon (more common nowadays)
I see, thanks for clarifying.
The potato with beef stuff that you bought from 7-11 is known as croquette コロッケ
If you’re going to Nagano, can consider visit Togakushi-jinja (shrine)
Hey Gabe a wonderful display of colour for the leaves n the 4 changes in a daytime

There is a viral video from 2 weeks ago going around of a bear attack on a hiker in Japan. Its pretty scary.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, Happy Travels ☮️

Gabriel high roller Traveler. Keep pounding them clouds brother. See u on the next continent
Wow awesome videos, enjoying every minute of it. Can’t wait for the next one😊
Those arrows on the road are used in some European countries.
A hot dog and an egg sandwich gives you the energy to power through. 🥪🥪🥚
Exactly.
あなたはすばらしい。あなたは日本の良い景色を世界に知らせる能力を持っている。
You are wonderful. you has the ability to show the world the good scenery of Japan.
I agree...I am loving these videos of Japan. Fascinating country...interesting, and beautiful.

Got it. 👍
Welcome to Japan, the land of mystery.
People all over the world say that they are on another planet when they arrive in Japan.
🇯🇵👘⛩🗾

The "arches" that precides shrines and temples, are called Tori Gates. 😍

Nice mountain vibe there.
Thank you for the video
I’ll be going there soon . Love your videos outstanding 🎉

Gabe, if you haven't watched the Miyazaki movie "Spirited Away" you should ASAP.
Japan have the best 7/11 stores in the world.
ALSO MASKS ON THE STATUES ISN'T A SHAME IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR MANY MANY MANY YEARS AND HAS SIGNIFICANCE TO SHINTO PRACTITIONERS
I see, interesting.
Your hotel does not have an onsen. You showed their bathtub.

I'd say $100 a day is a good general average. Depends of course on where you are and what you're doing. You can certainly spend less or more.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Hi. Is that $100 a day all in, i.e. local travel, accommodation, meals, activities etc.?
@@ianwhittaker3041 Yes, potentially, but it depends on a lot of factors. That won't be enough in a lot of places where accommodation could be $70 or more. A big factor is which country you're in.

Cool video
Nippon and Nihon...both are correct names for Japan.
Have you any plans to see Mainland China?
Someday, but I don't think they're open to tourism now and I wouldn't want to go anyway with their strict zero Covid policy. You never know when you might get stuck somewhere.
No wonder why the Japanese so thin...it looks like always climbing uphill in the streets
Except for sumo wrestlers 😊

Still the only one walking around without a mask. Don't you feel bad about that. I guess not Time for me to unsubscribe.
Have been watching your videos and enjoying them for years. I did not realize you were an anti-sciemce, anti-vax, anti-masker. But you just lost my viewership. Well done.
He got 3 dose of vaccine why would you call him anti vax or science
Sayonara, adios, arrivederci, auf wiedersehen, au revior, and good bye 👋
Calling Gabriel anti-sciemce (sic) is ridiculous. Have you ever read his essays? And he often talks about his being fully vaccinated, and wears masks whenever required. Yes, he is against wearing masks outdoors. Fresh air is a shared gift he appreciates.
Did I miss something? Where in the video did he say anything about being "anti-science", "anti-vax", and "anti-mask"?
Adam for you to make such a comment is an indication that you know nothing about Gabriel.
