I spent a bit less than 1500 euros for two weeks all included (transport, plane ticket, food, hostels, etc.). However, most people spend more, easily double or triple, especially if you plan to move around by shinkansen / JR Pass.
Best series on Japan anywhere. Excellent and informative videos. Our family has learned so much by watching. The series is giving us ideas as to what to do in mainland when we visit from Okinawa.
your videos are really well made, John. They are high quality, informational and educational. I subscribed immediately. Keep up up good work!!🌈 I also like your co-host, Kevin Riley. He is a natural and seems very charismatic:)
Nara is an awesome place to visit. I was in total awe of the giant budha at Todaiji. Not to mention the two statues at the gate. But the deers give me flash backs of the run-in I had with the deers on Miyajima. They can get kind of aggressive and one of them sneezed on me. I had deer boogers on my jacket all day. :( Another great video John. Love your work :D Makes me want to go back....
lemme tell yall this channel worth atleast 2 mil subs. the content is damn amazing. not like those cringy vlogs, cringy prank, etc. its on another level! i want to say to you John, you makes me really wants to visit Japan someday with my darl lol! youre amazing i swear
my wife and I were there on Monday and she absolutely loved playing with the deer. The mochi making was also very fun to watch and the mochi itself was delicious! absolutely looking forward to going back next year and exploring more of Nara and hopefully Uji as well.
At first I didn't like Kevin Being on the show for some reason but He's made so many quest appearances I'm used to it now. And also I'll have to keep in mind that when there's good food, there's people like kevin Riley!
My mum, who is Japanese and can't understand English, liked this video. She is a foodie as well, haha. I showed her your channel and we watched a couple of videos together - Thanks! :D
I actually showed my dad the video where you went to Seki earlier. He watched with great interest because he used to be a cook (still has his knives + takes good care of them). Mum said we should go visit the city next time. xD
Hello John my name is Brian and im from Brazil and i love your channel for years just the best content on japan im finally going to japan on 2021 and just wanna say thank you!
It's great that there are laws to protect deers from being harmed or killed by humans in Nara. Other videos on Nara show how chill the deers are in this city, even when around humans. They some times just lie as groups on the side walks and cars slow down when passing by to avoid hitting any of them. In other countries, those deers would be hunt down for their meat or for sport.
Hunted in other country? No dude, just other place... they're hunted all over japan actually. just because these deers are making money for human by being alive in nara doesn't mean they'll have any use outside of nara. I personally wouldn't want to live in a place where animals roam free on the street... would be a traffic nightmare. Good for tourism spot, a nightmare for urban area.
dont do what they did. quite a few of them will bite you in the ass and if youre surrounded its hard to push past and get away. i had to jump across a ditch.
HI! i just watched your live on instagram and of course i need to drop a comment here. great video as always, keep up the good work John! looking forward to the next video. any video about yuurei, yokai and basically japanese folklore ghost, the legend and it's history would be awesome! dont forget to get a decent amount of sleep, take care! love from Indonesia
goldamia elka thanks for watching he instagram live Q&A stream :) that was fun! I will absolutely do something with Japanese ghosts this year. Found some neat stories to cover already. Thanks again! John
Man, I still don't understand why this isn't aired on TV. This is TV quality right here, you deserve more. I love your videos and watch all of them. Glad you've been dedicated to make more and more :)
Thank you so much for putting these videos up, I do not have enough money to go to Japan yet. You would be a great tour guide. I wish I could eat food from Japan. You are the best and I just subscribed.
Your videos are awesome!!! I'm Japanese but your videos teach me a lot that I don't know and it improve my English. haha you know Japan well than me:) Thank u I wish you'll come to Inuyama Aichi It's cool old place 次も楽しみにしてます(*^o^*)
astroboy3507 They are really delicious! You definitely have to try them all if you like sushi. ;) The mochi is also great. If you like green tea, I recommend the green tea ice cream as well. ~ ^^
Marie-Michelle Fortier yes I love sushi and mochi and green tea!!! We go too Japan every year but I have never tried that leaf wrap style I will try to find it this April thanks again!!!! ✌️
This guy must be a legend seeing as I have seen him everywhere such as Great Big story and so much interviews. I am trying to make Mochi but this one mochi pounder keeps kicking my rear end, TheMochiPounder27 Mochi Pounder sounds like me ( Insert Lenny face here)
It depends. Videos are very easy to click off, as much as I like Japan I don't watch all videos about Japan that are 13min. Some are interesting, some are not, it depends on everyone's tastes. I've seen too many videos on street food and heard way too many people talk about the deer in Nara to sit through the whole thing. That said, it probably will be one of his most popular videos because Nara is a tourist hotspot and most people going to Japan will go there.
Hahaha The fastforward of the men beating the mochi in the intro was hilarious! Looks like they really hate that mochi! 4:38 - Oh...it WASN'T fastforwarded ... Still...poor mochi :(
I just discovered this channel about two weeks ago and really enjoy all if Johns adventures. After watching the food and travel destinations, I will make a plan to visit Japan. Cheers!
I love your channel! Your videos always have quality content. Absolutely enjoy the style of narration too! (With your subtle humour and wonderful edits) Please keep it up :)
You are the reason my wife and I are saving for our honeymoon to Japan!
Chris Ahmed awesome dude! You will enjoy it there man, one of the best places for tourism.
I wonder how much that will cost would want to go in the future
I spent a bit less than 1500 euros for two weeks all included (transport, plane ticket, food, hostels, etc.). However, most people spend more, easily double or triple, especially if you plan to move around by shinkansen / JR Pass.
I was assuming we should save around $10,000 USD for the trip. maybe i'm way over estimating? I guess it'd be good to be safe than sorry though!
Thanks! we are really excited
That was one funny video!
And Kevin looks like "the most interesting man in the world"
Great video, John! As always!
i laughed a lot when John and Kevin were running around dancing and the deer remains uninterested hahaha
They were having so much fun!
bener fitri
i laughed so hard when i got to the one "violent deer" scene, LOL
Albert Tobing how
ME TO XD XD
good!...
LMAO the deers freely walking around crack me up, they're like pigeons in NY. Casual.
Merlot M Except they're cuter
Merlot M im surprised they aren't getting sick by eating all random kinds of foods
Han So yeah but they're all an asshole
except they are pooping ur car
I find Pigeons cute + Deer
This is the best way to introduce Japan. Your style of filming and editing your videos are just heartwarming and simple!
Remember watching great big story, and seeing the fastest mochi maker.
Liked the video about the mochi maker
Vincent Guajardo ye.
Vincent Guajardo same here
li wu Its all for the rhythm and steady pacing.
Vincent Guajardo yah!!!
I actually came from that video.

I loved how this turned from street food to a Deer Scary Movie.
Yellow False I had a bruise for a while from that knock :p it was fun until I got decked. Haha! Total horror.
"Only in Japan has uploaded a video"

Image when he threw the mochi in the machine it missed
“Damn we need to make it again
At first I didn't like Kevin Being on the show for some reason but He's made so many quest appearances I'm used to it now. And also I'll have to keep in mind that when there's good food, there's people like kevin Riley!
i think this channel and begin japanology is the best place to know more about japan
Oh hell yeah, I was looking forward to this.
My mum, who is Japanese and can't understand English, liked this video. She is a foodie as well, haha.
I showed her your channel and we watched a couple of videos together - Thanks! :D

Kenny Tee who cares? Fuck the deers
Other place other culture no matter what
Hunted in other country? No dude, just other place... they're hunted all over japan actually.
just because these deers are making money for human by being alive in nara doesn't mean they'll have any use outside of nara. I personally wouldn't want to live in a place where animals roam free on the street... would be a traffic nightmare. Good for tourism spot, a nightmare for urban area.
Kenny Tee I want to smoke one and eat it them deer look tasty
Mike Morgan I agree, they look tasty.
Super cute deer. Just love Japan for their sheer love for human and animal life. Mochi looks so yummy.
Looks sooooooo good John, but those deers are too cocky! >_<
Really great video aaaaaaas always! ^^
Your videos are also great Thomas!
Thanks Terry! :-)
I really love when Kevin is also included in your videos. Thank you, it was great again.
*DEER : 3*
*HOOMAN:0*
Deers will rule the world
You two crack me up!! The dancing for the deer part had me snorting coffee out of my nose haha
Did he get his a** kicked by Bambi?!
That's one mean deer!
Vincent Guajardo more like Bambi's adult psycho boyfriend!!! Crazy.
dont do what they did. quite a few of them will bite you in the ass and if youre surrounded its hard to push past and get away. i had to jump across a ditch.
gottfer iu
Probably XD

Thank you so much for putting these videos up, I do not have enough money to go to Japan yet. You would be a great tour guide. I wish I could eat food from Japan. You are the best and I just subscribed.
We visited these places two years ago and we enjoyed not only the deers but also Nakataniduo. The deers are just so funny too.

astroboy3507 They are really delicious! You definitely have to try them all if you like sushi. ;) The mochi is also great. If you like green tea, I recommend the green tea ice cream as well. ~ ^^
Marie-Michelle Fortier yes I love sushi and mochi and green tea!!! We go too Japan every year but I have never tried that leaf wrap style I will try to find it this April thanks again!!!! ✌️
Why do I always watch your food videos at night? 😣 You make me so hungryyy! 😬
This guy must be a legend seeing as I have seen him everywhere such as Great Big story and so much interviews.
I am trying to make Mochi but this one mochi pounder keeps kicking my rear end, TheMochiPounder27
Mochi Pounder sounds like me ( Insert Lenny face here)
you two are the best travel buddies! haha... my favorite part was the park scene where you held hands then started circling. lol! ur like big kids
this is gonna be one of his most popular videos.
Jordy Blackbourn I doubt... people don't tend to watch a 13 min long video
Hi Jack if people can go watch 2 hour movies when they are bored. Then I doubt a 13 minute video on a interesting subject in Japan can't be that bad.
It depends. Videos are very easy to click off, as much as I like Japan I don't watch all videos about Japan that are 13min. Some are interesting, some are not, it depends on everyone's tastes. I've seen too many videos on street food and heard way too many people talk about the deer in Nara to sit through the whole thing.
That said, it probably will be one of his most popular videos because Nara is a tourist hotspot and most people going to Japan will go there.
Jordy Blackbourn i think so
_-hi-_
I liked that deer near the ice cream stand. I almost thought they'd get an ice cream for it too. You made some super cute friends.
I love how they were running around trying to get the deer's attention and in the background some guy is getting surrounded by dozens of deers
Man I'm loving this series :D it's fun watching people travelling all in the comfort of my home lmaoo.. I feel like a kid who just found the internet
I remember having these dessert dumplings with red bean paste in them and I’ve been trying to find some for years now 🤤
Hahaha The fastforward of the men beating the mochi in the intro was hilarious! Looks like they really hate that mochi!
4:38 - Oh...it WASN'T fastforwarded ... Still...poor mochi :(
I really want to go to Nara~! As a kid i didn't like yomogi mochi but as I grew older it became my favorite. Same with Wasabi!
I feel like John had a little too much fun writing the sweet-potato/deer section.
Keep up the good work!
Older men with beards looks so cool.
I smiled so hard at seeing that deer posing for a pic with those two kids. @8:29
10:40 deer scores an other point.
Kevin is super chill and seeing both of you in one video is a double whammy
Those mochi makers is gonna beat the world record XD
Thank u for posting this! I'm a long time Sub and always happy to watch ur vids about my homeland
ohh God I missed Japan already. been there 3x but I want to go back again :( that mochi is a must try!
I just discovered this channel about two weeks ago and really enjoy all if Johns adventures. After watching the food and travel destinations, I will make a plan to visit Japan. Cheers!
I cant stop laughing from 4:33!!!
Keep spanking it like a dumb child! Wait… that’s bad.
Your narration is very good and always your videos have very interesting things.
This is why I wish I wasn't broke plus the deers
sol shade I think everyone is broke and and many are underage.
deer*
-_ - I was trying to spell the plural thank you
That's cool. It's hit and miss whether you use a 's' on the end. For example sheep is singular and plural.
The plural of deer is deer, just like sheep and sheep.
Omg that deer is crazy 😂😂 I'm sorry I can't stop laughing 🤣
10:40 it was at this moment john knew... he f*cked up
For some reason the time of day that this was recorded made it more appealing to me
Japan street food always natural
John: get away!
Deer: Just give me the food damnit.
John: no.
Deer: now you asked for it!
😄😄😄
Any Asian street food beats your everyday restaurant. Even food trucks are cooking up great food now days.
Genuine, rich content. Awesome work deserves more likes and subscriber :)
"Bambi's japanese cousins" Bless
As much as i lvoe mochi and its the popular topic of this video, that sushi with the persimmon leaf had my attention
New English subtitles added! -john
10:40 I really shouldn’t laugh........but I did. Sorry John, hope you have recovered 🤣🤣🤣
Oh, Kevin is such a handsome old man. :0
I love your channel! Your videos always have quality content. Absolutely enjoy the style of narration too! (With your subtle humour and wonderful edits) Please keep it up :)
I'm Japanese.
Thank you for enjoying Japan!😁
japan is a nice place!
By far of all the videos you have made this one had me lmao 😂 thanks 🙏 Greetings from Montana
3:26 start to, "hell yeah, hap, hell yeah, hell yeeeh.."
I visited most of these places in Nara, just because of you John! Thank you for turning me to Japan.
3:54 Too. Many. HEYS!!!
*N o*
