@22.56 - that is because the Japanese and Korean languages borrowed alot of Chinese words and even have Chinese characters in their writing systems - in the case of Japan, it is kanji (Chinese words) and in Korea, it is hanja (Chinese words).
Steve and Ivana, you always figure it out and make everything look so easy. I know Ivana puts in a lot of time and research before booking or going anywhere. When dad and I travelled with you, we were always amazed how you both knew how to get from point a to b, and how easy you made it look! Another fabulous video. Keep safe, healthy and happy.
In Japan you clean yourself outside the bathtub, then you go into the bath and warm yourself up. That way the bathwater stays clean for the next person in the family to use. By the way since you’re in Tokyo please try monja yaki! It’s the ultimate cheap snack that you probably cannot have anywhere else in the world. The best place to get it is in the Arakawa ward area.
I think I might have just learned my first kanji now, I’m going to remember this! When we went to Japan I only learned the kanji for woman, I was afraid of going to the wrong gender bath in an onsen!
I just Love: Your travelling on real persons budget, your real travel experiences, your willingness to try new things and most of all that you immerse yourselves in the local culture, despite the obvious language challenges! My 2 new favorite Vloggers!
This is the person who rode next to me on the Shinkansen. It was really nice and fun to meet you guys. I wish we had more beer together. I'm glad you liked the unagi too. If we ever meet again, I would like to show you around Osaka. I want to drink at a cheap and delicious restaurant.
Hey, friend!! I wish my wife and I were still in Osaka, and we could go for a beer! It was very nice meeting you. You represent Japan well, very friendly and helpful 👍👍
26:04 the soaking tub is there because Japanese take baths EVERY night, after cleaning their bodies in the shower. The trick is not getting soapy water in the tub, which is why most have a cover.
Oh guys, you picked the most crowded place in Tokyo to stay at. I hate Shinjuku station (don’t love Shibuya either). We stayed in Akihabara (it was cheaper), it was still on the Yamanote line but it wasn’t too big nor crowded. Plus it was close enough to Tokyo station to taxi there without spending too much. Shinjuku is just too crowded to deal with every day. One the nicest things about Japan was that, for the most part, even cheap restaurants and konbini food is still pretty good - they don’t half ass stuff there. Unagi is probably one of my favourite foods! I went to a fancier restaurant for that during lunch time - you can get much better prices at lunch!
Just saw that you guys recently vlogged Japan! I went in January last year, I saw the line for the same starbucks and got a coffee from a vending machine instead before getting on my shinkansen. My main reason for going was my favorite band returning from hiatus with 2 shows in Chiba. I was going back to Tokyo around 7-5 days before the concert, and the person that sat next to me was also going! What a coincidence. The Shinjuku station is so confusing, but I guess it's necessary since it's the busiest station lol. 22:35 I ended up here in the exact same spot flabbergasted as to where the hell I'm supposed to go
for better navigation inside the train system in Tokyo or big cities of Japan even if you hold a JR pass you use a Suica card to pay, which works with your Apple wallet if you use an iPhone, android users have that too but from what I have been told with some issues.
Is that all? Shanghai does 11 million per day on average. Fact. Been to both China and Japan, and China's infrastructure in fact puts Japan to shame. That's why Saudi et al contract exclusively with China now. Japan's new bridges in Indo and VN collapses and its train in Indo is a failed disaster too.
@@davidrichards1741 are you talking about Shanghai has a single station or as a city with multiple stations. My info is from Wikipedia (I also live in Japan and experience this first hand). Just google world’s busiest stations
Navigation on the transit system uses google maps, which is accurate and with cost value when you google with different options to get to the same point.
What GREAT travellers you both are !! One moment, you guys were in China, then to Japan, back to China, next to S.Korea. Well, continue travelling when you are still strong and healthy and have strong legs. Thanks for sharing this cool video.... travelling to Japan, "Land of the Rising Sun"
@@chaw294 also, they are travel vloggers for income. they are not too interested in just China, if they were, they would get a proper visa to go rural areas as well as learn some basic Mandarin.
Minute 2:15, and yes I was there to take picture with the Glico man! LOL! Train 285km/hour. The train stations...thank my son and wife and my daughter, they lead, me and hubby just follow.
Steve, been meaning to tell u after every video: "such" clever machinery and the machinery is "so" clever. But never "so" clever machinery. Such +adjective+ noun and noun + is + so + adjective. In case you care 😂 Thanks for your videos either way 😊
I agree. The metro ticketing and lines in Japan is so confusing. One of the worst organized system in the world. The on in China is the best in my opinion. For bullet train in China no ticket is needed. Your id or passport is all that is needed. Plus the metro in China the ticket is allowed in all lines. You just buy the destination and that is it. It doesn’t matter if you took a ride in any line all day but as long as you exit in the destination that you have bought the ticket for you’ll ne fine. No confusion. So crazy that the Japanese has not figured out this yet after all these years.
Great video! I'll be going to Tokyo and Osaka soon and want to try out conveyor belt sushi. What's that sushi place in Osaka called btw? Looking forward to your Harbin video too!
Hi, I'm canadian. I rode the China HSR from Shanghai that literally went 682 km/hr.!! China has a maglev prototype train that travels 1100 km/hr, but they won't be available for public use until 2030.
Steve, você acertou nos times do Brasil!!!... Geralmente, quem torce para o Palmeiras 💚🐷 (um time de São Paulo... ), torce também para o Vasco (um time do Rio de Janeiro... )... Porque os principais adversários dos dois são: o Corinthians em São Paulo, contra o Palmeiras, e no Rio de Janeiro, é o Flamengo contra o Vasco da Gama... E há uma rivalidade grande entre Palmeiras e o Flamengo também...
Nice transition from downtown Osaka to Shin Osaka for the Shinkasen. 😉 Technically the Tohoku Shinkansen in northern Japan is the fastest but it's close enough. Enjoy your time in Japan. There is much to enjoy.
#JetFam I would love to hear your thoughts on mask culture in Japan. It’s grown a lot since pre Covid, and now almost like a uniform for many jobs, even though it’s never been a legal requirement.
The train was impressive. 500 km in two hours is very fast indeed! But considering it took you another two hours to be able to leave the train station, maybe it's not that much of an improvement XD
Soon we're gettin this too, in USA, between LA and San Fransisco!! :) Or.... probably not :( But we are the best country in the world on everything!! Or... that was probablyheld true 50 years ago :( I'm confused :S
Camera moves too fast while changing directions, made us painfully dizzy. If you guys could be more carefully for a better viewing experience for us. Thanks
You are in Japan now. Well some advice for the both of you whilst you are in Japan is to respect their culture and be respectful and please don't try and act like Johnny Somali or Fidias. Japan had some nuisance streamers problem recently and they don't want any more of them. Other than that happy travels.
Honestly there are only 5 major cities in Japan you can see and there is not much in Japan because a lot of travelers already covered this country and saturated so much that it’s not much of an exciting taste when seeing it as a “new” location on TH-cam but nevertheless nice video you guys and I cannot stand raw fish and the raw food they usually serve in most cases. Cantonese is the best.
What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear of Japan🇯🇵?

When you are eating sushi, you should try to dip the fish in soy sauce instead of the rice! It will make a big difference
Let me guess. Did you learn that in some suburban basement between anime episodes?
So excited to see Harbin and Japan, amazing content guys !
Unagi is one of my favourite Japanese foods for sure. I still dream about the unagi I had in Tokyo 24 years ago!!
Happy Travels
23:00 The most funny thing ever to hear "出口 (Exit)" in Chinese is described as "3 candles and a square"😂😂😂 Good job Steve, good job👏👍👍

日本を気に入って下さって、ありがとうございます。最近はSNSの普及で、来日旅行者も増えて海外の方の日本の感想を聞けるのが楽しいです。異世界だって良く聞きますが、そんなに日本って変わっているのかと不思議ですね。生まれてからずっと日本にいるので、地域によって都会か田舎かぐらいしか思っていませんでした。動画の中で、疑問や質問があれば言って下さい。気付けば、出来るだけお答え出切るよう頑張ります。何はともあれ、時間いっぱい日本を楽しんで下さいね。

Shinkansen Non reserved seat advantage is IF you miss the train you can take next one no problem !

18:13 it’s a fact, Japan has the 45 busiest stations in the world. Shinjuku is the busiest with 3.5 million passengers per day!

they can only stay in China for a few days at a time, then need to exit then re-enter. unless they get a better visa.
@@JalomMatia Yeah, that's right. Thanks ✌️

22:58 three candles😂😂😂 That’s a good description
A candian hanging out in Japan wearing a Palmeiras jersey lol so good
Your shinkansen ticket should include from Tokyo station to Shinjuku.
You should have taken the JR Chuo Line (Red Line) from Tokyo to Shinjuku.
It takes only 13 minutes
Steve seems impressed with the high speed train in Japan, wait till you try the high speed train in China. 😉

Go to Kura sushi ,,all plates are about 1$ 😊
there are lots of belt sushi restaurants near the Ginko man / Namba area. All looks good. This one was on the main strip.
Well done getting out of the station..they would have had to carry me out on a stretcher...

When will you go to Harbin? I have been looking forward to the video of going to Harbin for a long time.
On the live stream they said next video will be Harbin. They are in Korea now.
first video from Harbin will be out on Saturday😊
I agree Japan metro and train stations its very confusing, that's why i hate it.
no Kyoto?? It is the loveliest place together with Kamakura.

Still using the Palmeiras jersey? 😭,You could have bought the Japanese Corinthians special jersey; it would be really cool to use it there
Who remembers Ross from firends: "UNAGI" using it completely wrong lol. Seriously so curious to try it!
出口（exit),yes its Chinese，you guys get it😂👍👏
Wow you had a great time in Japan. have been there a few times. But what you love the most about Japan?
I ride bicycle on top of the wall when I was there. It’s very interesting when there is no light show too.

glad you figure out the subtitles😊
Japão é um belo país. Tive o privilégio de viver por 10 anos em fukuoka e mie ken. Amei o Japão, sua cultura sua culinária e cidades exóticas.
Shinjuku station is a maze 😅
The max "travel" speed is 280km/h in the Nazomi
There is Miso BBQ sauce with euu fish
they dont hate foreigners. they watching you by just curious especially in country side like found rare pokemon

unagi is definitely better than mackerel.
the unagi meal. it's not toufu in the soup, it's unagi's liver. only in Japan I can have it.
Sugest Kabukicho at night 😂 dark side of Tkyo 😊
Fyi You should always put bit of WASABI on sushi 😊
Nice transition from downtown Osaka to Shin Osaka for the Shinkasen. 😉 Technically the Tohoku Shinkansen in northern Japan is the fastest but it's close enough. Enjoy your time in Japan. There is much to enjoy.
Steve!!!... Você está usando uma camisa 👕 antiga do Palmeiras???... Que bom!!!... Fiquei muito feliz em ver... 😊😌🇧🇷💚💛👕🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱⚽💚💚💚🐷🐽🐖
1st thing I'd do in Japan would be to eat my weight in sushi lol
Using your Shinkansen ticket could directly go to Shinjyuku from Tokyo without additiobal charge.
And chouo line is faster than yamanote from tokyo to Shinjyuku
4:25 turn the sushi upside down and dip the fish in the souy sauce , never the rice .
到了Hotel, 老婆直接躺平了，hahahaha😂, Long journey
我去。。。。Three candles “出”口。。。哈哈哈Hahahah
哇哦，日本真是动漫爱好者的天堂，我一定要去日本旅游
Since three candles with a square is exit, what is a scissor with the square?😌
How long was the journey?
Journey took 2hrs, and finding way out of the subway 3hrs.

A correction, the fastest Shinkansen is the Tohoku one, not the Tokaido one.
After my trip to Japan is over, I'd like to hear your opinion about the difference between China and Japan.
The train was impressive. 500 km in two hours is very fast indeed! But considering it took you another two hours to be able to leave the train station, maybe it's not that much of an improvement XD

Are you still going to the ice village in China?
Top thing to do in Tokyo : leave for Osaka or Hokkaido
I'll tell you video's title is written in Chinese.😁Haha,Chinese and Japanese look a bit of similar indeed.
Soon we're gettin this too, in USA, between LA and San Fransisco!! :)
Or.... probably not :(
But we are the best country in the world on everything!!
