Day in the Life of a Japanese Hotel Worker
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 พ.ค. 2024
- A Day in the life of a Japanese Hotel Worker in Tokyo. This is working life in Japan if you were to work in the hotel industry. In Japan, there’s a unique hospitality custom called OMOTENASHI. Directly translated, Omote meaning public face and nashi meaning nothing, combined it means services are always completely genuine and honest. Because it’s so deeply rooted in Japanese culture, the staff make extra efforts to provide guests with the best experience possible without expecting anything in return. We follow Yohei's work day in Tokyo from morning until evening .Yohei works as the assistant manager at APA hotel Shinjuku Gyoenmae. APA is one of the largest hotel chains in japan. APA hotel uniquely identify as a New Urban style hotel high Quality, High Functionally without all the unnecessary services providing all guests with a good night’s sleep, often mistaken as a Japanese business hotel, which are typically budget style hotels close to the train station, originally intended for Japanese salarymen traveling between cities for business. Often the rooms are smaller with bare amenities, single bed, desk, tv, refrigerator, unit bath and toilet. In Japan, tipping is not customary and in some ways can be awkward as it’s unexpected. It’s ingrained in Japanese culture to take pride in your work no matter at what level, so receiving a tip as an incentive to delivery the best service is viewed as unnecessary, all tying back to Omotenashi.

thanks for this release
Another great video! Did he wet his hair in the kitchen sink? 😀
Videos like this is the reason why I subscribed to this channel.
PAOLO WHEN ARE WE GETTING THE YAKUZA EPISODE😡
Everyone in Japan - same alarm sound
all around the world
I have same one
iPhone has around half of the Japanese smartphone market, even higher compared to the US or Europe countries.
bruh everyone has the same alarm sound if they have the same phone
Not really, there's free apps to customize alarm sounds. I changed mine a long time ago.
I unironically love how he says his favorite part of the job is being in a leadership position while cleaning food from the floor. It's so cool and humble that he also takes care of that
I unironically find it depressing
Live for the company, die alone.
he's on camera, representing his company...
Not like he can say he hates everything while working and while being recorded.
thats a good stewardship!
Omg this is so surreal. We stayed in this hotel when we went to Tokyo !
This is so weird seeing the other side. We very much enjoyed our stay.
How did you communicate?
@@buttertoast1146 I went there before and there was a staff who can speak EN, he was at least able to communicate in basic English conversation.
Same! The room we got was a little cramped for two people though but it was still fun.
no you dont
@@buttertoast1146 with his mouth.
Once, unaware of the fact that tipping is "forbidden" in Japan, I discreetly tipped a bartender for providing me free internet and...the poor guy ran after me in the street to give my tip back :D
Mans was ready to hunt you down to the ends of the earth to give u ur tip back
He probably would've fought you taken you out and then gave it back
Tipping culture is only a thing in the United States. You pay for what you get in the rest of the world, amazing service or not
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 false. In france, Europe in general and when i lived in south east asia we tip...
@@PlatypusPGM tipping in south asia is not a thing at all. I was born and raised there, people don't even consider tipping at all
@@kullen8391 in singapore we tipped. Often 10% was included.
I see “ a day in the life” i click in a matter of attoseconds
Same
Exactly what I did, these are fantastic videos.
holy fucking shit
Definitely
Same!!! 💚
I will always have mad respect for Japan's emphasis on cleanliness. It really is admirable.
you know, very ironically, japanese men barely keep their own hands clean after a bathroom visit. i've seen it too many times over the years that i've lived here. whether it's a number 1 or 2, they touch a few fingers with a bit of water, and off they go. zero soap. it's disturbingly unhygienic.
@@lullemans72 when I went there 7 years ago I noticed that they don’t even offer paper towels or hand drying facilities in the restrooms.
@@ptolemy1796 practically most men everywhere in the world 😂
i think its overexagerated when he for example sanitized the room he entered even AFTER some other worker did....in the same day.
@@fdama ahh yes I have found you! The jealous American Chad
I'm a hotelier also in Indonesia, this video surely change my mind of being a manager.
Not only giving instructions and delegate somebody incharge on specific job role, but doing it, giving example, and work all around the little things is the truly MANAGEr.
My sincere gratidude for Paolo from Tokyo team and Yohei
Great to see you learning from youtube i stead of just mindlessly viewing! Lol. May you hsve more success.
Semangat bro
So much humility for someone who is in a position of management. Instead of bossing people around and bringing down morale, he leads by example to strengthen the morale and motivate his guys.
He's a deputy manager, but he walks around and cleans the hotel. a true professional👍
You will never find top level workers like this in any other Country....Especially in America!!
Even the shachou ( boss) here do that, our shachou even clean our toilets.
in Japan one of the job of the bosses is to clean the toilet as that is where the money god lives. Most don't do it long term but symbolically; some does it daily. Everyone cleans in Japan, starting with kids cleaning their own classrooms daily.
If you saw the manga author episode, he’s the highest rank but it’s his responsibility to provide a clean working space for his juniors, thus clean his toilet
@@bigfootswatching9986 bruh.. have you ever been in a good hotel in America ?
I work in a hotel in NYC and this man is literally doing at least 5 persons’ job; housekeeping, front desk agent, revenue management, bellman, and telephone operator
Like a resort base in Malaysia, where I was work like this before almost
Hopefully he's paid good. Maybe that's why he has a bigger apartment
Probably because he’s an assistant manager so he needs to do all those unlike regular employees who just do one task a day
@@biellaspointofview2054 Same thing I thought. He has a nice place. I’m sure it’s expensive
I worked in a hotel in Austria, i had to do anything and help everyone if needed. Primary i was in the kitchen, but i cleaned a lot and helped the roommaids.
I know every country has its problems, but it's amazing to see that superiors in Japan work equally with other employees and that they're not just bossing around.
I worked at a major 4 star hotel near an international Airport here in America for many years. I was a supervisor at the Front Desk. I just wanted to say that the fire drill in this video is SO impressive! We never did anything like that! Minor things sometimes turned into a big production because of no training or planning. We lost our computer systems for a couple hours and it was horrible! We had to switch to paper registration and more than one person was assigned to an already occupied room! I'm sure a fire would have been chaos!
I bet this was Los Angelos. I could even guess the hrmotel.
I love how even the assistant manager is cleaning. No task beneath him. Something you don’t see here in California
Which makes me happy I have an assistant manager that comes out and helps where I work (at a zoo), he can't do everything, but whenever he comes out or runs a cashier booth for us, it's so appreciated. I thank him constantly, wish there was more of that in the United States (I'm up in Michigan), not asking for everything... but a helpful task or chore outside of managing the staff and giving tasks and directions to our staff (and myself).
But well said, nothing's below him, and is willing to do it all to help out.
The level of customer service and respect never ceases to amaze me. I mean, he stood bowed at the door until it closed in his face. Outstanding.
I think that's stupid. Especially if the door really slams into your face. But I do think that a few bows here and there would do the Western world a good service.
It's common business manners in Japan. If you assist a customer to the elevator you also bow until the elevator doors close. In high-end restaurants or traditional Japanese-style restaurants they will also escort you outside the door and wave or bow goodbye until you are out of sight. I personally always find it kind of awkward and prefer they wouldn't have to do it but it is amazing customer service. Some obviously also just do it half heatedly since they are forced to do it in certain places even if they don't feel like it... As most things, there is good and bad.
@@bodo887 I know I know. It's just still amazing.
@@n00dles79 After a year living here you're used to it and think it's normal xD
@@bodo887 The most famous sign for having been in Japan too long: You bow at the phone.
As a former hotel worker with over 15 years experience, I remember how eager I was to serve guests and customers. I took my job very seriously and I worked diligently, resulting in a lot of praises and gratitude from my guests. However after a damaged shoulder, no promotion, and a huge increase of rude and nasty guests/costumers in the serving industry, I develop a disdain for my job field. I sadly quit and lost that spark I had forever. I gained so much experience but it‘s impossible to make me love my job again. If people can learn to treat serving workers better, maybe there won‘t be such a shortage of workers. I know this is the case in most western countries. People forget that if you respect your customer service workers, they in return will treat you like a king, don‘t just demand that service without any respect or decency.
As a waitress, I really appreciate this comment. I get talked down to at least a few times a week. I try to bring myself in with a smile and a good state of mind. I keep a smile on my face but it gets so hard when people are so rude. Ill continue to do my best and I guess hope that people become nicer.
Yep, this is why I always treat customer service employees with respect and am polite no matter what. I worked in customer service for one day before getting into a different field. Those people deserve respect no matter what. Not everyone can do it.
@@user-ob4kn3rp3j as a server we greatly appreciate it. ❤️
But also it goes both ways if u give respect u should get it back but if not why would u get it back
@Brenna The cat lover after working in retail in 3 different countries, American customers are the worst people to deal with. I will never work for any company in retail America again.
Spacious apartment that’s only 5 min from the train station? If these videos have taught me anything that means this guy is doing well.
was thinking the same
Day in the life of a Japanese Yakuza member
Paolo: “While he’s slicing off the finger of his subordinate, let’s go check out the drug warehouse downstairs!”
That will be the final episode then
Chinese Mafia in Yokohama is the worst.
* Paolo
Lol xD
lmao
So in hotel jargon, this guy is basically the front office manager, revenue manager, housekeeper, telephone operator, and cleaning staff all rolled into one. That's... astounding. O_o
Front office manager, other things he mostly does to control other staff and check on quality
I wonder if he's doing all those bc of the pandemic? Maybe the can't hire more staffs
Not just in hotel industry, if you work in retails line such as Uniqlo. staff must be able to handle all kind of things from cleaning , cash in cash out yada yada dll. Its pretty exhausted frankly speaking, but pretty enjoyable after the work is done at the end of the day lmao
@@Lecintel It's too much work for one person. It would make a lot more sense and be more productive if they at least had people doing cleaning so he didn't have to.
YES! you will be surprised what hotel staff REALLY do. I am also a Front Desk Agent and we have to similar tasks like cleaning, housekeeping (very rarely), following protocols to prepare for emergencies, taking walks, also security (sometimes), rate adjustments, office inspections, fixing small technical issues to even inspecting rooms before guests check-in.
TEAMWORK IS THE BIGGEST PART OF THE JOB.
With all of this in mind, we have to help everyone with a smile on the face.
She is definitely right in the video, I love it when guests compliment us after their stay and are happy.
He does a lot for being an Assistant Manager! I mean, he's talking about being in a leadership role while on his knees cleaning a carpet. I'm envious of his stamina, but well impressed that he can tackle so much in a day.
I like Japan. Everything is clean. They have clean streets. No much rubbish on the street.
When he said fire drill I wasn’t expecting the workers to have to personally put out the fire themselves.
I work at Amazon and no one in our building is aloud to touch/use the fire extinguisher otherwise we will be terminated no matter if there is a fire or someone is burning.. 🤡
@@neshacruz6574 That's what the piss bottles are for! 😢
Yeah out place is “if you see fire smash the glass / call the fire brigade and get the hell out of the building. Leave EVERYTHING” lol.
Imma dead 😂
I think they only use it to aid their guests to escape from the fire.
After all these “in the day of…” videos, it seems that it doesn’t matter what your job is in Japan, you receive respect in whatever you do.
Here I got a kindly reminder. If people still do choose this hotel after knowing the things I listed below, means they are simply just like Nazi supporters.
The hotel, their owner are NOT respecting the HISTORY AT ALL
Fun fact, their disgusting CEO and owner 元谷外志雄, who wrote a book that contains denying Nanjing Massacre, where 300,000 civilians were brutally killed in 1 week by the Japanese in 1937, and the Korean Comfort Women during WW2, even humiliating those people who got killed and refused to took his book out of their hotel room. :(
He described it as “The so-called crime committed by Japan is a lie fabricated by the United States to drop the atomic bomb”
I mean, WTF.
THE BOOKS ARE STILL OUT THERE, IN THE ROOM, just so you know.
@@dailymik2789 Now what’s that got to do with his point?
@@aebi5031 It does. You guys are all talking about “respect,” me too. They are not respecting the history and the whole human race. No need for arguing. Another example would be it’s fact that Japanese officials seems to believe that bowing and apologize can solve the problems.
Think about the recent polluted waste water that they gonna release to the ocean, they are indeed “respect” people personally but not respecting the whole human race.
@@dailymik2789 who cares, its 2021 let the person get paid for doing a job.
@@anires1195 people cares, human cares, your children and grandchildren will care. 🙂 We have responsibilities for this planet and do what we can do. It’s 2021 it doesn’t mean people who had suffered in WWII should be forgotten and been described as “fake experience.”
That’s why we shouldn’t support existing business like this.
But yes, there’s people born careless, that’s why we need education. Hope someday you will realize.
Every family has that one person who will break the family financial struggle, I hope you become the one 😊

Japan is living way ahead of us
@@semutkecik168 In terms of making slaves out of their employees, yes
@@mmdirtyworkz if that were true then japanese people wouldn't have time for hobbies after work wich is something that many japanese people have.
@@capscaps04 well unfortunately they do have to work a lotttt bc in all of these videos they get up at like 6 am and get home at 7 pm which is crazy but they are all very hardworking people
@@pimas11 If that were true, I wouldn´t say anything about it but for what I have seen about japanese working time periods, those time working periods are normal wich tends to be overexagerated by people like you. one example would be the video "Day in the life of a firefigther" were it shows a japanese firefigther doing his normal routine at his job only for people to claim that he over work despite that other firefigthers from around the world says that it is a normal work period only to get insulted back for contradicting them.
For this expecific reason I consider that people like you, when it comes to this subject, are full of bullshit. And that you are just talking about something that you don´t know because you are just repeating like a brainless parrot what you have heard from others.
Why do Japanese people work so well. They make me want to take pride in breathing
They treat others the way they want to be treated,logic 101
Look, people everywhere work this way. I'm a NYC teacher. Find what motivates you, just want to do it better. And try.
Do they? They just seem to work very inefficiently to me. Checking 10 different rooms every day is pretty overkill and a massive waste of time.
@@asnaeb2 It’s because they do, that what sets them apart
Dont get fooled.. they mostly depressed with the large amount of high maintenance. Look at those suicide rates.
Seems like everyone that works in Asia goes to sleep at midnight but wake up at 6 am to 7 am and look fresh, but I go to sleep at 9pm and wake up at 8am looking and feeling like I slept 2 hours
Too much sleep is a thing :)
who goes to sleep at 9pm lol
Maybe you’re sleeping too much? I feel like garbage and have a headache all day if I sleep more than 6 or 7 hours lol.
I was gonna say the same thing, but then I realized I do the same thing fall asleep around 12 and up at 530am, LMAO.
@@canIhavethishandle I think it’s just exaggeration lol
These videos often pull me from my depression by giving a hope that I'm gonna live a beautiful life someday
You can tell he really does love his job and puts effort into making sure that the hotel is in good shape 10/10
I love how Japanese people take pride in their work. All work is valuable and valued and appreciated. That’s how it should be.
It works Japan because people won't discriminate what job you do. As long as you are working and pulling your own weight in life, and not leeching off productive people, Japanese don't care if you clean toilets for a living. That's why their customer service is really good too, because it's not just that the business and the workers are nice, but the customers themselves are also nice to the workers.
I agree with you on how Japanese people take pride with what they do.
@Tralala_Beez i just think they are going to be less engineers in the future
In some countries, someones job is what they do during the day, its not their whole identity
CRAZY how you can see the assistant manager cleaning infront of the building in Japan but in America they just sit all day and boss around people especially abusing the newest young low paid workers 😨
Sounds about right. Upper management doesn't care what happens as long as the job gets done. Cultural difference. Also the difference between being a leader and a boss.
lol please chill. Japanese companies are known to have one of the most abusive work hierarchy systems. Incredibly sexist structure as well. Their work ethics are to be admired in general but please take this video with a grain of salt. Nobody's gonna show you why Japanese salary men can work themselves to death or why they have a high suicide rate in general.
i think its mainly just in japan, im from iceland and managers and assistant managers help with loads of things us floor workers do!
I can relate to this. I'm from Chile. I worked in 4 different hotels at the front desk. After the pandemic started i got fired and probably never going to work in another hotel unless it's a Japanese one.
@@diumeiloulou6617 everything has flaws just because i admire their work ethic obviously doesn't mean they're entirely perfect either
Japan is just on another level. They are just breed and raise different.
At first he said "to make people happy" is what he enjoys the most about his job, later, "to help the company grow sales" is what he wants the most in his position. He is definitely a company man, how many people literally could be like that?
I am amazed at how diligently the young man carrys out his duties. He takes his job very seriously and the hotel looks clean and welcoming. If I ever get to visit Tokyo, I will check into this hotel.
it seems paolos PR work is working. hahahahahaha

What I can really appreciate is the thought and effort they put in the cleanliness and upkeeping it. I would have loved to co-operate with the hotel cleaners this way and making sure the rooms are in perfect condition. I learn so much from your content, Paolo. Thank you for making such a high quality content for us!
I’m in awe of his discipline, dedication, devotion to his work. I wish all employees in the world are like him, we will definitely be in a better place
he is an assistant manager but he cleans here & there. In Indonesia, even someone just barely a supervisor, they already act like super arrogant n rude to the regular staffs 😑
Same in England (especially if it’s a so called Co-op like where I work)
@@doriswaddington2418 Same in the US, Japan just has such a tidy and respectful culture
Culture from colonial
I worked with them in building construction, and even the project manager do cleanings
Bisa aja cuma pencitraan karena mau Masuk youtube 🤣🤣
Japan is so disciplined in everything that they do.
Yes, but it has its drawbacks. You won't be able to breath sometimes (figuratively), and it can result in more suicides than other countries (if for some reason you can't fit in the disciplined culture).
@@jamponyexpress7956 Very true, but watch out for people who will whine about true facts your making

As someone who works in the hospitality industry, there are 2 things that jump out the most to me: how he goes the extra mile every day and how I've never even had a supervisor clean anything if they could have someone else do it, much less an assistant manager.
What job do you do in the hospitality industry?
This is soo calming and satisfying, to see their city soo clean, work ethics, respect to others.... I love this channel
Paolo’s day in a life... is inspirational ❤️ Keep em coming.
This is what it means when they say find a job you love. He seems to enjoy his job and still have the energy to play his guitar after a hard work. Good for him.
maybe bc he's on camera
Are you saying you don't have the energy to do your hobbies after work usually?

i think you've been making the videos more useful then any other shu-katsu stuff. I enjoy watching the reality what it's like to work in certain places. Thanks Paolo. You contribute a lot.
Everytime I watch this channel, I can see so much effort and energy to put in for making a video. Thumbs up, Paolo!
The politeness, hard work and respect for other people sets Japan above the rest of the world. I was treated so nicely by everyone I met and people went out of their way to accommodate anything I needed at my hotel. When I arrived at Customs in Narita, the inspector asked, “May I look in your bag?” I almost fainted - you’d NEVER be asked that from an airport employee in the States!
They are really nice, polite people above anywhere else!
Agreed. And the American “number one” crap is just so dumb as other countries are so much better than us
but its protocol for officials to ask for consent to touch or open your stuff. its literally in the law.
I used to work in customer service for a hotel in the US. I really did not get paid enough or treated well enough by my employers to go above and beyond lol.
Another high-quality content, thank you Paolo

I love your videos, Paolo. I live in Japan and they’re still super interesting. Plus your positivity is really appealing. Keep up the good work.
I’ve seen a lot of your videos. It makes me happy and appreciate the daily life of people in general. Would life to see some frontliners in your channel
I would love to see a day in the life of a japanese kindergarten teacher.
great idea for my new vlog haha
That would be awesome! But probably hard to record being so much around children
Or any teacher
It'll probably be much easier to do it for a university professor. Also a kindergarten teacher just goes to one classroom and stays there for the rest of the day, not much happening.
Isn't it weird that he usually eats food from a convenience store because the hotel restaurant is expensive? I mean wow, he works there, you should give him at least a discount...
Here in Argentina most hotels include free meals for employees. They are obliged by law. Breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea/coffee.
It's not even like he's a rookie employee, he's the godamn assistant manager.
Theres many things i love about japan but the work ethic is crazy. I saw people sleeping everywhere mcdonalds, subway (i saw a guy who took his shoes off while sleeping so he doesnt put dirt on the seat and put them neatly next to each other) on stairs at the side of roads. Like literally sleeping everywhere from exhaustion. It‘s so bad because the suicide rate is high if u fail at ur job and cant provide for the family.but in japan the commuinty is important not the individual happiness. In europe its the other way round.
He probably has. Just that hotel food in general, even with discounts is rather expensive.
He gets other services. He dont even have to pay his rent. The company will pay his rent.
Paolo's commentary is always so kind, he makes everyone feel good about their job
I really like this series. It's really interesting! Could you do something about health care workers? Nurses, doctors etc. :)
Yohei's the humble guy during the day but a guy who will slap mercilessly on his guitar at night
Yeah, a real Jimmy Hendrix 🤣🤣🤣
A true SLAPPER, Davie504 would be proud of him
Sadly the only thing he slaps.
I work in hospitality, and this is definitely next level! I mean this is how a hotel should work, everyone helping and taking pride in making an enjoyable experience for the guest! I applaud their level of service!
Well, you know, it's a commercial in the end.
People like Yohei, who follow the rules of cleanliness, just make my day. Yet another nice video, Paolo. I look forward to returning to Japan.
The way they treat and respect each other we can't find anywhere in world ....👏👏🙌
I’m always amazed how much work they do in Asia. I rolled out of bed, ate some chips, pressed some buttons on my computer. Props to him, I could not do that 😆 same with the casino episode, guy did so much in one day.
To be fair, it sounds like you do a lot for a homeless cat
thank capitalism
@@LinhNguyen-my5my What's that got anything to do with what OP said?
Ngl I would like to do same stuff and not sit all day with computer
@@spumeeuw430 the OP is going around bassing capitalism in a video about Japanese hotel worker. I don't know what economic system she is living under, but from the attitude I guess their education system sucks.
Japanese people's work ethic is indisputably remarkable, admirable, and honorable.
it's something the world should follow but they need to learn somethings from us too
@@seanl1089
like what?
@@faintsherin4468 wasting time doing pointless work basically i see their work ethic good but their productivity seems bad
Good work ethic, unnecessary practices. While the ethic is good. They have soo much stuff that they have to do that doesn't make any sense / contribute anything to their productivity.
No, I would rather be effiecient and not waste my time on unnecessary tasks.
I really love these videos, I call see how much effort you put into them. Specially the camera shots.
Thank you for this interesting, and as always, educational presentation. I have total respect from my heart for the Japanese employees in the hospitality industry.
Ah, another of my favorite series on TH-cam. Always so interesting!
Thanks for always watching!!!
@@PaolofromTOKYO I love Japan so much it is so cool and interesting I am Learning Japanese too! :)
@@PaolofromTOKYO i’m not gonna lie i’ve watched this series more than twice it’s so cool to watch people from other countries doing things very different from the US
@@PaolofromTOKYO I want a day in the life of Paolo from Tokyo 😄😄
There's a sense of respect and pride for every job in Japan, something the world is really missing...
yes
Thank you for putting this day in the life series. Really loving it !
Always enjoy these videos! I love seeing how life is in Tokyo, everyone is so professional and respectful! 👏🏼
I love the fact the staff is so well trained in case of emergency
They have to. We often have natural disaster here in Tokyo. Even in the regular neighbourhood, we always have monthly fire and disaster drill .
Thank you for saving my Friday :D
Same :D
really l like this hotel in great shinjuku city at great日本🌷🌸🌹
In India it's Saturday
SAME
YES
Paolo, keep up the great work. I have been binging your content this last week and I can’t seem to stop! Thank you for having such awesome content to keep my binging satisfied ❤
I stayed in this exact APA hotel a few years back. Got me kind of nostalgic.
Japanese people really take their jobs seriously. I've been to Japan a few times and visited many different regions. The customer service is really top notch!
How would you personally rate Japan (from culture to technology, architecture, food, scenery/landscape etc.) on a scale level of 1 to 10 ?
And if you have 3 or more words to describe Japan, what would it be ?
Fantastic video. What humility.
Umm the founder of the hotel chain is the Japanese version of a Neo Nazi, has openly made anti Semitic remarks, hates foreigners and like how American hotels often have bibles in the nightstand, he has left a book of his highly controversial beliefs in the room. And he believes both you the viewer of this channel and the channel owner are racially inferior.

Paolo, your video rocks. It’s so interesting to look into the life of a hotel worker. Japanese hotels are quite well managed... impressive
Paolo your videos are so interesting man. Been binge watching all your day in the life clips and this makes me want to go to Japan even more now
omg haven't heard of you for years and I'm so glad that you're still around here, welcome back!

Being an assistant manager, he's responsible and accountable to all his customers. Very professional. 🇯🇵💗
I have been always curious about Japanese lifestyle n their routines, your channel really amazed me with a fantastic content like this.
Thanks Paolo
These Day in the Life videos are so good, I watched one and now I want to watch all of them!!!
This is gonna get millions of views because:
- It's Paolo, why else?
- It's another Day in the Life video!
- The hotel worker is a cutie.
Cutie 👀
Wait what 👀

Thank you, Paolo, for this interesting piece on the work of a hotel employee, and that of an Assistant Manager at that. It's valuable to know how people work. It provides valuable insights in to Japanese culture.
I could watch these all day. Thank you Paolo!

Other hotels around the world put to shame.. The work ethic and hospitality on another level
I stayed at an Apa Hotel, I only paid $50 for a room, had an "Onsen" and many other amenities on the top floor. Think there is three types of Apa Hotels, I got the middle type. The room had a big desks area with a mirror and the roomiest bathroom. A tub that that could have fit two adults. It was the best hotel I stayed at.
Which apa hotel did you stay at?
@@hweimeilee89 in Asakusa
Thank you (and greetings) from France.
We stayed in a discount hotel in Japan and it's amazing how spotless the room , the halls and even the hotel surrounding was. I was shock when we checked out and the hotel manager came out from her office to thanked us personally. Amazing country and people
LOVE this series. Great video as always!

@@zeitgeistx5239 good to know. I'll avoid it when visiting Japan.
Holy Cow! This man earns his paycheck! Unheard of in the US for an assistant manager to perform all these little tasks.
I love this series! 🙏 ❤️
As always - spectacular. Paolo delivering some of the best content on YT
I'm now going to make a point of staying in an APA hotel! Great job everyone!
so weird. By day he's a very rigid well mannered ahrd working assistant manager. After work, he's a talented creative musician/partier. Such different lives.
I worked in Japan in a major company, and our sales director had a rock band on the side. The guy was almost like a military commander by day, in charge of 1000 people in an extremely rigid environment, but at night he was just relaxed and chill
@@Derhek that sounds like the most awesome boss someone could have.
Sounds like a potential manga/anime plot 🤩
Japanese ppl are just soooo kind. I worked for a Japanese company for 10 years and we used to do drills like that as well. Love these videos!
liar
@@LinhNguyen-my5my it was a manufacturing company, so it wasn't as cool as the hotel, but there were drills for us office and the shop
@@LinhNguyen-my5my wtf
@@LinhNguyen-my5my this person is a hater for sure, have seen this persons negative replies to multiple comments in this channel. Don’t discredit other ppl experiences just because you haven’t experienced it yourself
I stayed in an APA near Asakusa and they were all like this fella, really polite, couldn't do enough for you, knew the area front to back. Always saw them up to something, cleaning and whathaveyou. Japan rocks
