- Stopped by the Ainu Museum in Shiaoi near Noboribetsu. It's a quiet place where you can see Ainu dancing, learn some Ainu language (in Japanese) and see buildings and other cultural aspects of Japan's indigenous people.

Hi John!I am a Japanese woman lives in Chicago.Miss Japan so much then I found your channel a year ago.I remember you had felt so sad about the bear in the ainu museum.I saw a good news about the bears.They transferd to Yorkshire Wildlife Park .
Yes, the news contacted me to use some video footage. They told me they’d be transferred :)
Such a happy news! Now they can grow up big and strong!I also appreciate their strong will power!
I went to visit them this past weekend, they still circle around, are very reluctant to come out of their shelter. One of the eldest unfortunately passed away due to long term health issues shortly after arriving to the park. They rarely leave to go outside even though the doors are open. It was really sad to hear about them but once they learn how to be wild animals again, they can have a better quality of life. They have a brilliant enclosure now and the keepers priority is helping them be bears again.
That enclosure definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. Really sad to see conditions like that. Appreciate the stream though, it was interesting
For anyone watching this video after this time, be aware that the four Ussuri brown bears were rescued from this dreadful "museum".
They were brought in August 2018 to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park which is just down the road from me. The names of the bears were Riku, Kai, Hanako and Amu. Kai and Riku were 17 ,and Hanako and Amu were 27 when they arrived. All 4 bears had serious health issues when they arrived. Amu was put to sleep almost on arrival due to degenerative chronic disease, Kai in September 2019, Riku in early October 2019 and the oldest Hanako in mid October 2019.
They can live up to 35 years , so 2 of them only living 19 years shows they were treated abhorrently. At the time John visited them it was long past the time they really could be saved health wise. It goes to show that there are either no laws for the housing and care of wild animals there, or there were laws and someone wasn't carrying out their job correctly.
The amount of times i visited pretend zoos or saw captive animals in Japan in just disgusting conditions really left me sick to my stomach.
For such an advanced country to treat animals that way was just shocking.
i have been here in 1996, accompany with my friend from shiraoi . she is english teacher （ Atsuko san ） . i miss her. greeting from bali - Indonesia.
Great video! Thank you! It has come to my attention that my grandfather on my mother’s side might be of Ainu decent, but never told anyone. He grew up in Hokkaido and he spoke Ainu and had many Ainu friends. My mother never knew, but I got a DNA test done a year ago, and it showed that I have 5 % Finnish in my blood, seeing that I am Danish/Japanese I just assumed that the Finnish part came from my father, but nope... My mother and father got the same DNA test and it turned out that the Finnish comes from my mother. So now we are wondering if my grandfather was actually of Ainu decent, just to be clear I would be extremely proud of that fact. I have been very interested in the Ainu people and their origins way before my initial dna test. And I have never heard anyone ever connect the Ainu to Europeans and finish people before, so I was very surprised and went like “ahaaaaaa...!”
Poor bears and dogs. 🙁 Not at all like the other bears at all. Hopefully they will change that. Thank you for still showing it. They dancing was really neat.
That poor bear has anxiety..
4:42 "Wow I'm like uh, fifty kilometers lighter" lol
XD
"my ex-girlfriend cannot come here. what a dog."
ROFL!!!
Borapa Kupas Yes, he did.
Benji Sun in her defense (as a dog), she did cheat on me and hide it for 6 months dating us both. We're still friends. It was over 12 years ago! If she'd just been honest, it would have been so much easier. Haha! Funny that came up in my mind.
ONLY in JAPAN * GO Wow! That is so not cool. You deserve so much better than her.
agreed!
putting a bad review on Google maps about the bears in this place. That left a bad taste in my mouth. The other stuff was ok, but not the bears.
I agree I just left a 1 star review we need to get this place on the map.
they just need an enclosure the size of a football field I'm going to smoke a cheap 50 cent cigar and inhale its midnight here
I remember when I first went to Ueno Zoo in 1998 the brown bear was pacing backwards and forwards, very 😔. At least now the bear from this video came to UK 🇬🇧. 👍
I understand that Japan is a different culture and it can be difficult to judge these situations, but I feel those cages are too small. I think that having animals in captivity is actually a good way for the population to be educated and form a love for animals but only provided the animals are allowed space to roam and peace from noisy humans. Even then it's not ideal (and I understand there is a good argument against any form of captivity), but those cages are far from any of that.
I forgot to thank you for the stream. I love seeing your adventures in Japan, even with the very few things that aren't so good.
skyeandy The Ainu have a close relationship with bears, they would catch a baby bear and tie it to their house and then keep it inclosed near the house, and then kill at some big ceremony. I don’t know much about it, but that is why the bears are there, but I am half Japanese and I found this in closure very very sad too, and I hope they would not have bears there or create a huge enclosure for them
It is never a good sigh when an animal is pacing around like that it's like the old zoos in America that got shut down never a good sign 😔.
had fun watching this stream good stuff john
Interesting fact: before Hawaii became a territory of the USA (back in the day) there was the growing concern that Japan would claim Hawaii because at this exact time frame Hokkaido and then Okinawa were taken over. In the end, Hawaii's Queen was dethroned by America anyway a few decades later. So either way, we have that kind of connect to the Ainu and Okinawans for this reason.
Wow looks really cold and darkish up there in Hokkaido end of april. Probably much nicer in the summer. It's on my bucket list.
This kind of video take time to watch. But it is perfect to me. I watch it on weekend while building my gunpla
its so similar to native american style. Do you think the ainu were part of the people that crossed from europe through asia, but instead of continuing through the bering land bridge to north american, they went south east and settled in what is now known as hokkaido? there's so much to learn!
thank you for recording the song the performers sang.
Ainu are not indigenous people of Japan
In 1200, the Okhotsk bleachers, who had been exiled from the Mongol Empire, invaded Hokkaido, where the descendants of the Japanese Jomon people lived as indigenous peoples of Japan, and destroyed them with poisonous arrows and iron iron. At this time, he raped a Japanese Jomon girl and gave birth to Manoko. Who was the child of the Japanese Jomon girl Ga at this time? He answered that he was Ainoko, a child born to the Okhotsk bleachers. Foreigners who do not understand Japanese do not understand Ainoko. So she explained that she was a child of a foreigner. From there Aino means a person. Since Ainoko is half of a different ethnic group, she inherits half of the Jomon gene. However, the culture, language and customs of the occupied peoples do not remain. The culture, language and customs of the conqueror remain. Even if Aino inherits the Jomon gene, the culture, language, and customs of the Akhotsk bleachers "non-monoethnic hybrids" are inherited, but there is no unity. That is Aino. He is half of the Japanese Jomon people, and there is no unity of culture, language, and customs as Aino. Why can Aino become an indigenous Japanese?
アイノは日本先住民族ではない。
1200年、モンゴル帝国から大陸を追放されたオホーツク漂白民が日本縄文人末裔の擦文人が日本先住民として暮らしていた北海道に侵攻し毒矢と鉄鏃で滅亡させた。このとき日本縄文人娘を強姦し、間ノ子を産んだ。このとき日本縄文人少女ガ産んだ子は誰の子？と聞かれ、オホーツク漂白民との間に生まれた子、アイノ子と答えた。日本語のわからない異民族はアイノ子がわからない。そこで、異民族の人の子と説明した。そこからアイノは人を意味する。アイノ子は異民族とのハーフなので縄文人遺伝子も半分受け継ぐ。しかし、占領された民族の文化、言語、習慣は残らない。征服者の文化、言語、習慣が残る。アイノは縄文遺伝子を受け継いでもアホーツク漂白民「単一民族では無い雑種」の文化、言語、習慣が引き継がれるが統一性が無い。それがアイノである。日本縄文人のハーフであり、アイノとしての文化、言語、習慣の統一性が無い。そのアイノがなぜ日本先住民になれるのですか？
Ainu are not indigenous to Japan
オホーツク人のＤＮＡ解読に成功
ー北大研究グループー
６月１８日の北海道新聞朝刊に興味深い記事が掲載された。５～１３世紀にオホーツク海沿岸などで独自の文化を発展させたオホーツク人の遺伝子を解読することに北大の研究グループが成功。オホーツク人のルーツには諸説あるが、現在の民族ではサハリンなどに暮らすニブヒやアムール川下流のウリチと遺伝的に最も近いことがわかったというもの。また、アイヌ民族との共通性も判明、同グループはアイヌ民族の成り立ちについて「続縄文人・擦紋人と、オホーツク人の両者がかかわったと考えられる」と推測している。謎に包まれたオホーツク文化が解明されることでオホーツク地域の魅力がさらに深まりそうだ。（以下北海道新聞から紹介します）
どのようにこの遺伝子がもたらされたのかが疑問だったが、アイヌ民族とオホーツク人との遺伝的共通性が判明したことで、増田准教授は「オホーツク人と、同時代の続縄文人ないし擦文人が通婚関係にあり、オホーツク人の遺伝子がそこから受け継がれたのでは」と推測している。同大学院の加藤博文准教授（考古学）は「オホーツク人は、最後は消えたという表現がなされてきたが、アイヌ民族の形成にかかわった集団もいたことが示された。アイヌ民族の形成の多様さを遺伝子から指摘する研究成果だ」とみている。
I love the Ainu people's clothes. Their song sounds like Native American songs. ✌️ 💖 🙏 Levi
Sad!
" Do the Dew" John you know you want to. :-) Man I was practically addicted to that crap back in high school that sure does take me back. Thanks for your hard work John keep it up.
The bears are used for Iyomante ritual. May be a long time ago the sentiment towards animal was much different.
Can anyone help report them for the bear and dogs situation? Is there anything we can do or someone we can contact? I really think someone should help those bears especially. It really breaks my heart.
I got this notification twice... Nice one john!! Poor Kuma - San
Ainus share DNA traits with some tribes in Andaman Islands (India)
it has been 3 years john and you looked much different back then
In Canada, we let the bear go around and they rarely attack people unless we are alone or they are very hungry. They know human territory and they avoid us.
That bear is definitely very stressful.
Aww. This is so sad. I am glad to hear that the bears were saved. I felt bad for the dogs too. Not a good impression of the Ainu. I can tell your visit affected you, and you aren't happy about the state of the animals. This was kind of a dud.
C est très original merci pour le partage
you are always so cheerful if you were unhappy the color of the day would be less bright have a great day
#ONLY in JAPAN*GO I strongly suggest this place for your next journey to take in the future. When I idling watching the youtube, It appear something like this. "The Water City | Gujo Hachiman". I guess this is one of the awesome places in Japan that ever had... Godbless...
"Dogs not allowed...so my ex girlfriend cannot come in here..." omg hahaha
*TOBY!!!!!*
You just can't catch a break with bears can you.
Sorry I meant to write quite misleading John my apologies. Ya they should put statues of the animals I think will all fell better and get the point because ya that puts s damper on on things. ☮️Have a safe trip.
i missed it again..
I found it funny how he was talking to the bear through the pipe 😂
Yeah I have to agree with everybody that seeing the dogs and the bears caged like that I started to bawl😭😭😭😿🐻
I understand it's a heritage type site but somebody really needs to rescue those animals it's just not cool.
But thank you John for the video & showing us around.
"Porotokoton" Not quite the mouthful as "Takadanobaba", but close!
I don't know why, but the Ainu seem to suggest a similar culture to the natives is Alaska.
The house named Pu, I didn't see it at first since I was thinking Hiragana, but it was written in Katakana. A borrowed word? Maybe because it was borrowed from the Ainu?
What make is his orange coat?i want one,know where john got it from?
You did not know about the bears John and its not your fault. It definitely put a damper on this video, but just a get a drink and move on to the next!
TheWPack911 it was depressing to see that. Live streaming shows the fringes and rough stuff too. Unfiltered. It's good for us all to know so we can make the decision if we want to support them. I feel like I will make a phone call to them and ask about the bears.
Very well said, the world is not all sunshine and rainbows, but it is indeed important to show the rough edges also. I am very happy to hear you will make a call and ask about the bears also, it will let the Ainu museum give their side and let them know that the treatment of bears like that is making their paying visitor's uncomfortable. That hopefully might spurn them into action to make some positive changes.
Once again you show the kind hearted person you are John, I may love Japan, but honestly the way you host both your live streams and regular episodes is why I keep coming back and love this TH-cam channel and series more then any other. Keep up the great work and thank you for your reply!
I agree it would be nice to at least give them some feedback about that. Actually I feel that having bears is not essential for this village at all. People are going there in the first place to get to know the Ainu culture, not because of the bears I would assume. Nonetheless, thank you so much for taking us with you, even though not everything might be enjoyable!
Liked it.......hard to follow the entertainment because I don't speak Japanese YET!!!!!!!!
4:52 Who Else Loves Mountain Dew!! Leave a Like!!!
This Dale. When I was a summer student at Jochi Daigaku in Tokyo I discovered a vending machine in Ogikubo where I was staying that had Dr Pepper, an American drink that had never seen anywhere else in Japan. John's coming across the Mountain Dew there in a vending machine in Japan was a remind. It was the perfect refreshment for a hot Japanese summer night.
I am curious if Root Beer has ever been available in cans from vending machines in Japan? (A&W Root Beer had outlets for a number of years in Japan but most, if not all, are no longer there. Too many Japanese associate the taste of Root Beer with medicine,)
*snaps in true hipster style*
profound sadness...
missed the live stream all good. I feel like this is a private session between Professor Daub and I. 😊

I’m always wondering where they come from?
I know they’re just human just like us but totally different culture and language having normal Japanese
Are the animals being held in small cages a Hokkaido thing only or is Japan in general like that?
hi, if u goin to Sapporo. are u goin to Royce company. thanks
Animal cruelty :(
The bears don't feel happy
No dogs. I assume they do allow 'service animals' (such as seeing eye dogs) though, like in the US.
God Looking down in these comments people have not studied the Ainu culture. The bears are sacrificed to their gods.
omg..i feel so bad for the dogs and bears..
even the dogs were in sad cages, this was very depressing start @@ Does anyone know if the bears and dogs are still there?
The renewed the park. The bear was moved to the UK I hear. It’s now a world class Ainu Heritage museum! I need to go back soon.
@@onlyinjapanGO awww tyvm John for giving me an update, I'm so happy to hear that. (and I also heard from you on a different live-stream that the bear park has changed too which is great to hear) I wanted to let you know that I've been really enjoying your videos and have been binge watching them lol. When my bf and I are not living from paycheck to paycheck/University life, I would and am looking forward to becoming a member and supporting you. For now all i can do is watch ALL your videos lol which I'm very happy and looking forward to doing Take care John and Kanae :)
That is so cool. I am glad you do not understand all of what he sail.😗
Shiraoi beef!
This place looks fake. I went to an Ainu village once near Otaru and the people I met did dress in those patterns, but they didnt sing, dance, or look like those people. The Ainu I met kind of looked like skinny Samoan people. They had mouth harps that made a "boing" kind of sound and their songs were not chants, the were kind of meladonic. They also had horns that kind of sounded like those long horns you see in the swiss alps. Then again the Ainu people I met said the Japanese people didn't like them much and kind of treated them like a joke.
You’re funny , run John 🏃🏽♂️ ya Toby suite misleading John ya I would need a couple of drinks 🍻 after all this hang in there man🙈🙉
I get some of what he said, but not all. Too fast
Sounds a little like some Native American ceremonies
Sad to see that animal enclosure....awful that and should be closed. But the Ainu museum is sad as so much of the culture and language was taken away from them to begin with.
Updated this: they’ve completely renovated it. The best was moved to the UK where it found a loving home. A lot happened in the 3 years since I was here.
I must see the face of Toby! Reveal yourself!
look like aztec / japanese culture.
what a horrible place... they should free the animals. They look like they are waiting to die.
"Toby it's all your fault!" 😉 Just kidding Toby 👍
The bears and dogs. What's up with that?
Those bears are in intolerable conditions :((( They are showing signs of psychological stress!!!
Those animal conditions look pitiful.
these are the ancestors of the Alaskan Indians.
Poor bears 😰
The cages though :((
I missed the ending... :(
???
I miss Toby already
I just saw some crazy kids run down my street YELLING GET ON THE GROUND... so scary, I want Toby to protect me.
there are hardly any pure blood ainu.
At least, give the animals more space
It looks mysterious rather than interesting ...
genocide of Nokkamap 1789.
True ainu don't speak Japanese
17:50 So weird and boring I wouldn't really go even I was getting paid
I'm not a fan of enclosed animals, however, people travel to zoos and circuses all the time. rarely do you hear about zoo animals being treated in humanely. but at least their enclosure is well maintained and clean, both for the dogs and bears. the animals don't look abused nor emaciated.
Oh man that is sooo bad and sad 😭 the Bears and the dogs .Japanese still kill whales and dolphins 🐬. Also horses to eat. There's the bear Curry from the vending machine.Sorry but if that was me I would say something before I left .
yo indian man, how come you arent changing your clothes?
well the bear part twas shit :( thought you would be ok with this though given your previous episodes bout cows and stuff...
