- Visiting a local shrine in Tokyo. Kusanagi Shrine 草薙神社 (江戸川区)
In the episode, I also visit a local Japanese bakery and buy a YAKISOBA PAN (yakisoba inside a bread roll!) and a hot royal milk tea at a coca-cola vending machines now.
It’s a cold March evening with possible snow before the Sakura blossoms. Hang on cherry blossoms!
Where is this shrine?
Kusanagi Shrine
1 Chome-21 Shinozakimachi, Edogawa-ku, Tōkyō-to 133-0061

Thanks very much for another fascinating insight into local Japanese culture and every day life!
What strikes me as interesting is that they can leave plants and flowering bushes out on doorsteps and their society is so respectful that they will not steal them etc. There are many neighbourhoods in Australia now days where you couldn't do that along a public street.
Matt NA crazy!! I’ve been here so long that I don’t think that anyone would take it. I guess everywhere is different. No one takes it because they’d have to carry it! Lol
This is just the reason why I am fond of your videos and streams John!
Off the beaten path. Real life and not the tourist attractions every body else bombard us with in advertisements.
You make Japan and the Japanese so much more attractive.
This was such a lovely vlog. Thoroughly enjoyed!
Thanks John nice video rain 🌧 I love it everything looks pretty and fresh , it looks like you have the hole place to yourself cool 🍀❤️☮️🦋☔️
Thanks for the mini tour to the shrine. Will look it up to try and discover ore about it. It's been pretty cold here to with snow and icy winds.

firestar1728 is
Loved that small surprise, as I always say, keep it local!
Thx John for your stream!!! Always njoy it!!!
13:23 Haha John, we were the Australian's who met you in that video. I can't believe you still remember that conversation you had and it was great meeting you and Peter that night. I'll be back in Japan around the same time this year (thank Jetstar's $320 return airfares) and maybe we'll get to crash another Christmas live stream.
That's why it's never boring!!!! Blink and u can miss it!!! Always great little spots in every corner of Japan!!! Lucky u took that street John!!! Also as in the comments what area u think u will move too!! ?/ yes I remember you walked past that nice traditional Japanese house before!!! And iitoen all the way John!!!!!❤️
Never a dull moment when wandering the streets :)
Shh!! Won’t talk about my new neighborhood until its official! Haha
ONLY in JAPAN * GO surprise surprise!!!! I hear ya!!!!!
Thanks for the tour and for braving the elements. Glad u got something warm to drink. Have a good night!!!
Angel R thanks Angel!! It was a lot of fun! Hopefully those cherry blossoms will be okay despite the cold right now.
The neighbourhood looks lovely
Love the video John! These videos showing your neighborhood show a nice glimpse of everyday Japanese life! Would like to see more hole in the wall places!
Nice vlog as always 😍👍🏻✨
John, you should try that cottage-style cafe that closes at 4:30pm. Looked intriguing.
Mmm... Yakisoba pan... rain flavor. :D
Hahaha John Gretchen is going to make you drink a monster again lol 😂👍
Emily Flores she knows the drill - hahaha!! She really made me squirm today.
coming down to the end i just realized John you forgot your umbrella lol XD
Great video! Thank you!
And - interesting info abt "Seishun 18 Kippu"!
"The Seishun Juhachi Kippu (青春１８きっぷ, meaning something like "Youthful 18 Ticket") is a seasonally available railway ticket, which gives you five days of unlimited, nationwide travel on local and rapid JR (Japan Railways) trains for only 11,850 yen, or 2,370 yen per day!"
Yaki-soba-pan is great!love it. Unhealthy but great 😎👍
Jens Wagner
Yeees ☆d(´∀｀*)
Jens Wagner unhealthy - BUT GREAT!! Only in special occasions like a live stream in front of a bakery.
Accident?how nice from them!😎 We have a japanese bakery in Germany. 450 km away. But when we are Close... 😋
しまった!! missed this live stream😢
Vending machine was my favorite episode
Frankly, I find a lot of cultural similarity between India and Japan. You can find a lot of small shrines/temples in South India (especially Chennai, which is cluttered with small houses), and few more in North India. The similarity itself beckons my interest to visit Japan. Thanks a lot John, for your efforts.
Wowww!!!...you know, theirs a anime series called touken ranbu. Their personafied swords of japan. Their like 100 characters, maybe kusagi is between them. They usually based on the legend of the sword. Could help. :). I loooove the characters on that show!!
Loved this video. I love old things
brokenredflag interesting!! Anime and manga have a lot of history in them too. We shouldn’t forget that.
John, please do a live stream about Japan's feral cat. Walking down the street to find the cats there! 😍
This was live for me at 1am. Sleeping! Bali has little shrines around the country too. Businesses place offerings each morning on the sidewalk which get trampled by tourists. I adore the tiny shrines!
Hi John I love you and your videos
So nice wandering with you in this rainy day and rainy Tokyo, but: would it be any problem for you to wear warm jacket? You make me worrying now you could catch a cold! :(
Rain Walk ! ☔️ 🌧 🚶♀️ 🇯🇵 ⛩
600kcals for a 200ml drink, can you imagine?
Luckily, you just saw an extra 0 there so it's just 72kcals for the whole thing. Phew!
When I studied abroad, yakisoba pan was my favorite "'I'm late for class" breakfast.
My dream is to go to Japan one day, maybe to live there and have a family 😊
i just got the notification 20 hours late hahhahaha
Sending a box full of Monster drinks to John because of that Von chick comment 😆
No, I won't do that to you John.
Von Keomalavong hahahaha!! You were brutal today. Haha!! Ichigo milk totally shot down! But so much fun!! I heard Gretchen was cracking up with her mischief, making me squirm. Ah, I love it. Thanks Von!!
Love yakisoba pan!! So good!
hi john ,can you do a live stream of the1300 year old shrine? thank you love your videos :D
Shivani k good idea! I will in April. Nice suggestion Shivani!
Thank you :D i am very excited for that. Thank you again for all your great videos. very entertaining. my favorite to watch :)
31:52 Feeling bad for John...I think that monster drink will follow him to the end of days(lol). You might need to visit a temple to get yourself cleansed for bad energy/karma to keep the monsters away, John!
hold on there a burning sword out there that can ignite my enemy's where is it and how can i get it but seriously john you can make a hole series on Shrine and temple in japan
*UMBRELLA*
When are you moving to your new place?
Soon, I believe :)
I googled Kusanagi Shrine and the only one it found was in Shizuoka!
Coming to Japan in May /June hope to see you around
I was on dialysis for 2 years and a half and gotten a kidney ! Monster isn’t good for you ! I’m not sure how old Gretchen is !! I hope you get one
voha bim lol I can’t say her age out loud, but she’s teasing me 😂 her nurse told me she was laughing while watching that happen, making me squirm - so it was worth it! Haha
Its hard for me to figure out when you are live streaming because of the time difference.
I know winter does not want to let go here in Indiana USA
John, could you share in what sort of prayer you might pray at this shrine? If I visited such a shrine like this in Japan would it be acceptable for one to pray Christian prayers there?
Jeff Stumpf I think prayers are universal no matter your religion :) imho it’s what you believe and it’s your prayer 🙏 so it’s okay. I pray for my friends, people in need, safe take offs and landings on the plane, safe births and happy marriages. That transcends religion.
John..Thanks for the video....Can you make a video on the main channel about education in Japan
26:32 - That's 36 kcal per 100ml, not 360. XD Even heavy whipping cream is only 340 kcal per 100 grams. :P You tried, though!
John...the US wasnt uninhabited land 400+ years ago. Its stolen land from the natives. Dont care what side you are on with that but thats a FACT. Awesome stream though John! :)
Manny Godinez I know :) say stuff live but I didn’t want to get into the deep ness of what I was saying but as for the USA, the history is short. The land - has a history that goes back a long time! Sorry for the misunderstanding. He reality is that when I was a kid, we barely studied that and that is a real shame. I studied US history too often and not much else. I didn’t have a world culture class until my last year of HS in 1992! Thanks for the comment and keeping it real :) -J
Id love to see some halal places to eat John!
Why did u stop doing food review? That was the best part of ur ch.
Craeftig I never stopped :p this channel isn’t exclusive to food though. If you don’t know the history of japan and the culture, it’s hard to get to the soul of the meaning of the food you’re eating. It’s all related :)
ONLY in JAPAN * GO Hey John I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos. I found out years ago that my ancestors were from Japan and the funny thing is while in high school twelve years ago I studied Japanese . I just started relearning Japanese and will also continue learning Spanish because I am Puerto Rican as well. Your channel inspired me to get back into learning different walks of life. I know more about my Taino/Puerto Rican roots but now I want to learn where my family comes from entirely. Thank you so much and light and love to you. Nameste 🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇✨✨✨✨💓💝💝🎇 Your positive energy is awesome. 🙌🙌🙌
a shrine for a sword...wow i thought it's the sword from the orochi and one of the imperial regalia but i guess not
A lot of the old historical churches in my country were neglected and torn down. Often its up to government to preserve it and if those government members aren't church goers or have a different belief they don't care to do anything. There's one government group who aren't christians and they're quick to destroy as many churches and historical buildings as possible and quick to construct as many temples of their belief as possible.In multicultural societies historical buildings don't last very long.
John I also put noodles in sliced bread, or any bread that I can carve, it's an asian thing I think
NaStEric could be :) I like it because it’s unique. Looks funny still but - so good!
the name of the Shrine reminds me of 草薙 京 (a character in KOF game) doesit has anything to do with that
did you forget your umbrella?
Rolan
ﾉ)ﾟДﾟ(ヽ
It wasn't uninhabited land John 😬
Some areas were :) but that’s a lot of history to dive into. I like how the native Americans lived. Took what they needed, lived off what they made, listened to nature. We can still learn a lot from that way of thinking.
eight inches of snow last night
Hey John I was looking through your website and I must request you dress up as your character 'Jasmine Casablanca' for us at one point ;)
Haha! I’d come up with ideas to make people laugh with those old show, break the tension in leaning a new language. That series on iTunes was highly successful here in 2007-2009! I have to do it all myself which also made it kind of fun.
D1LW0RTH’You made a comment that America had no inhabitants until 300 years ago!!
So who is the American Indians???
The house almost looks like a pagoda
22 hours ago... ^_^;;; Haven't caught a live chat yet..
Did he really forget the umbrella??
Thanks for the tour. Must take a difference on your comment about America being uninhabited prior to 300 years. Native American culture is thousands of years old. Just sayin'
Yakisoba is like a vegetarian hotdog
Winner Singh haha!! It totally is!
I think if they make it without the pork (it’s possible) it would be very good veggie option!
These little shrines are called お宮, right?
ToniJJJ
In ancient Japan, there was Chinju in each village.
Chinju is protect the village small shrine.
It is called the お宮さん(Omiya-san) with familiarity.
私はあなたを愛してください、私はそれほどジョン返信兄弟兄弟はあなたを愛して
I have to apologize to u John, for my bf who made a rude comment about u on ur last video. I had nothing to do with it and feel bad! Please forgive him, he has some insecurities, and gets a bit jealous whenever I watch ur show...Lol, it's kinda cute, but irritating when he leaves unnecessary and rude comments on MY behalf, when those were not my thoughts at all! Sorry again John!😙
Good evening John-san
