I asked you guys the Patreon Patrons which country you wanted to see for filler week and this was your choice. It was difficult but I finally got all 47. Yeesh. Thanks guys. ENJOY!
Hi I have a suggestion for another series such as discussing about countries that don’t exist anymore such as east Germany or Czechoslovakia

yes but if u say u live in Hokkaido island everything else explains itself
The prefectures of Japan have some unique, minimalist and modern looking flags. =D
Like Japan's flag

Aomori's is just a minimalistic picture of the prefecture

Many of them were designed around 1960 and are still in use. Even a Japanese like me is surprised.
Tottori: Sand dunes, least populated, pink food.
Lithuania: We should hang out sometimes.
Would work if Lithuania was the least populous in Europe, though it's not even the least populous of the Baltic nations.
@@HyettsTheGamerJohn In fact it's the most populous. I think Estonia is the least populated of the Baltics, and the least populous country in Europe (aside from the microstates) would be Iceland.
Nothing like a good old bowl of šaltibarščiai during the summer. Good stuff. Pink curry sounds incredibly intriguing
love Lithuania

I mean this channel has mostly an American audience so it makes sense to relate with analogies to the US
@@treyshaffer When he said "Hyogo is the Seattle or the state of Washington of Japan", I first wondered what does he mean with that.
Makes sense... He is American on an American site
@@coaster6777 Washington is a rainy state in the US (at least the western part of the state), known for its temperate rainforests. Look up some pictures of Olympic national rain forest. It's a very dramatic and melancholic climate. No surprise, this is also where the band Nirvana originated.

I’ve lived in Japan several years and visited over half of the prefectures. This is surprisingly accurate.
Probably the most glaring omissions: Shizuoka is famous for WASABI. Hōkkaido, Kanazawa, and Fukui have the best crab. Miyagi is famous for the best Rice and has the oldest whisky distillery. Yamanashi is mostly known for wine.
Aomori and Nagano also have strong regional dialects, actually most remote areas have a local dialect different from standard Edo/Tōkyō dialect. Kansai is particularly proud of their dialect, as the Capital region people from Ōsaka and Kyōto often use their dialect, including when performing on TV. Most Japanese know some Kansaiben.
do you went to niigata?
@@crobatgaming5661 not yet but one of my team members is from there so I’ve heard a lot about it recently. I’ve lived in Sendai, Kawasaki, Yokohama and now Akiruno in Tōkyo-to. I moved for a new job and bought a car so we’ve been mostly exploring Izu, Yamanashi and Saitama lately. I’ve taken holidays or business trips to Hōkkaido, Shikoku, Kansai, Kyushu, and Okinawa.
@@TomKellyXY Do you went to hakodate in hokkaido?
I assuming most whiskey comes from the same prefecture? Virtually every where else in the world distilleries of a certain type are almost always sharing the same river or water source and for this reason are often in the same region. Here in America you can take a 45 minute drive along a river in Tennessee and you’ll drive past all the biggest distillers in our history. Same is true in Kentucky with their regional take. Scotland and France have also experienced something similar.

I was thinking that
First Four Pokémon Regions are based of Japanese Regions.
Gen 1 (Red & Blue): Kanto
Of course it is based on the region with the capital Tokyo being Kanto. Celedon City & Saffron City are based of Tokyo. Game Freak & Nintendo must have patriotism to base off the 1st region of the region their capital is in.
Gen 2 (Gold & Silver): Johto
This is based of Kansai. Ecruteak City is based on Kyoto.
Gen 3 (Ruby & Sapphire): Hoenn
Based on Kyushu. Patalbury City is based of Fukuoka.
Gen 4 (Diamond & Pearl): Sinnoh
Based on Hokkaido. Jubillife City is based of Sapporo.
From Gen 5 to the current Gen which is Gen 8 all the regions have been based of European Countries (I.e. 6 Kalos/France (technically just the northern part of France) & 8 Galar/UK (technically the land is just England upside down but the culture is a mix of all 4 sub-countries of the UK)) & USA's States (I.e 5 Unova/New York (technically just Manhattan not the full state) & 7 Alola/Hawaii (technically just the 4 main islands not all 8)).
I want to know what northern Irish stuff is included in sword and shield
Pretty sure Ireland/Northern Ireland will be the DLC
@@miles4920 ok
@Maximus Craig
It is a common misconception but when you take a look on the map Galar clearly left out Wales and Scotland from the island of Great Britain.
Hawaii isn't European...

@Steam Dragon so true!
@@3dsaulgoodman43 That's pretty cool. I like Sinnoh too, but Unova (as well as the Gen V games) are my fav imo
In fairness, the creator of Pokemon was born in that region, and he based Pallet Town after his hometown of Machida, on the far west side of Tokyo.
New memes are popping up every day. Newest meme: I can milk you

Hey Barbs, good video! Great seeing you cover this topic. Just want to point out one thing about Fukushima - only a very small part of the prefecture is actually still under the zone of exclusion, and recently many of the areas which were formerly off-limits have since been made habitable again. The vast majority of the prefecture is completely safe to live and travel in. Sadly, the name of the power plant - Fukushima Daiichi - means that the nuclear disaster is forever associated with this entire prefecture (Japan's third-largest, many parts of which were never directly effected) which has resulted in some real stigma being attached to the land and the people, which is honestly undeserved. It's an amazing place, and the people there deserve to be known for more than one of the worst things that ever happened to them.
Yeah it is very unfortunate.... I ride my motorcycle a lot around Fukushima prefecture, especially around the Bandai area (living in Miyagi now). Amazingly beautiful landscapes and compared to other Tohoku prefectures, very warm people.
@@SH-rp1ft Bandai is a wonderfully beautiful area with its own remarkable history. We actually did a video about the 1888 eruption of Mt. Bandai, which reshaped the terrain of Ura Bandai and created so many of the lakes and ponds which dot its landscape.
What’s the history of Fukushima post March 2011 earthquake and tsunami? When did it become habitable again?
@@minauran6152 only a relatively small area close to the coastline where the powerplant was is off limits. Fukushima prefecture was never evacuated entirely, it is actually one of the largest prefectures in Japan.

I first set foot on Japan in 2015 during my transit flight from Singapore to Los Angeles, the transit airport was Tokyo Narita which I found out only last year that wasn't part of Tokyo prefecture, but is part of Greater Tokyo. I never actually "visited" during 2015 because I didn't go through immigration during the transit and was in the international zone all the time.
The first time I actually visited Japan was last December, I flew from Beijing Capital to Osaka Kansai then visited Kyoto, got myself exposed to Japanese culture. My hotel was opposite Kyoto Station so it was really convenient to tour around freely. Man, Kyoto Station is big. So is the entire city of Kyoto. Kilometers away from the city center are mountains and woods, it's like the nature simply surrounds the modern city and I was in awe of this place.
Next, I went to Osaka and set on a one-day tour to Nara, the poorest prefecture in Japan. They had lots of deers and it was fun feeding them until my dad's map got torn by a deer... lol. Visiting Kyoto and Nara were mainly trying local food and immersing myself in the local culture, and history. Back in Osaka, I went to Kaiyukan (the Aquarium) and saw a living narwhal for the first time in my life... basically these are some highlights of Osaka.
Last, I went to Tokyo on the Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka and got a hotel near Shinjuku. It was a really busy complex of roads and I almost got my family lost trying to find the hotel, lol. Tokyo was a blast. Because my sister is a huge weeb, we went to the more modern areas in the city and while she browsed for anime, I got interested by the things in electronics and computer shops... yeah, weird me.
The most memorable thing from my Japan trip was probably the trains. Metro, Shinkansen, etc... they're all different systems that look chaotic but are very organized and neat when you decide to ride them. And the flags of the prefectures are dope, too.
Fly to Kansai, stay in Osaka or Kyoto. Rocket to Tokyo on the Shinkansen, party all night.....
Sheesh, Typical American Tourist. That's all the Japan you'll ever get to see.
Reynaldo Flores Lol I’m not American but yeah I kinda get your point
@@shizukamori6755 Lol, typical random ass youtube commenter being rude for no reason. Where instead would you recommend someone go when they visit?
Nara is not the poorest prefecture in Japan!?
@@jbaer386 Maybe it used to be
0:56 I like that "Not Japan" mark. It feels like it's the way japanese people sees the world "There is Japan and NOT Japan".
Well that's how a lot of countries see the world.
I wouldn't say so, if we're talking Asian cultures who think like that I'd almost definitely suggest it's a mainland Chinese trait.
When japan thought korea was japan and tried to colonise it.
@@TheEverfever **Manchu Revolt against the Japanese intensifies**
It's the Shibuya crossing. Not Shinjuku .
Or the Shibuya scramble intersection to be more precise.

There's not shinjuku crossing
it's sibuya

@@legoleviathan6411 *shibuya
"Sibuya" and "Shibuya" are both correct. "Shibyua" is not.

Super late, but I've been living in Tokushima for several years now, and, while Awa Odori is definitely what we're most known for, Kazurabashi in Iya is a notable landmark! 3 ancient vine suspension bridges, but I could only stomach crossing one. Highly recommend if you want to feel like Indiana Jones. Also kinda sad you didn't mention regional ramen. I did learn some things, though!
My suggestion: Administrative Divisions of China.
(Provinces, Autonomous Regions, Special Autonomous Regions, Municipalities)
Yeah there pretty major.
It was just a summary of it. He did not discuss all details of it.
Yes i am waiting for this
34/33 is a little easier than 47
that would be pretty complicated considering each province in China has multiple distinct cultural groups and different cultural attributes to everything
Barbs: "Everybody knows..."
Also Barbs: Tells me something I don't know
Lol he thinks everyone knows everything he knows 😂
Visited 40 of the 47. Should have been 42 by now, but guess what happened to the trip I planned last year....
I like that every single prefecture very much prides itself on their unique culture, history and obviously food. I think that is one of the main reasons why I just keep visiting Japan over and over again (16 times by now), there's always something new to discover (or to eat...). It just never gets boring. It's hard to pick favorites, but I'd say Hokkaido and the Tohoku region are just that bit more special to me because of their many great matsuri and the best food of Japan. And yes, that gyutan (beef tongue) from Miyagi is the single best dish Japan has to offer.
5:51 Shibuya* crossing.
Barbs, You should do Indonesian Provinces next. Really interesting and diverse cultures from every Provinces. Put it up on the next poll man! Love your vids, From an Indonesian Geograpeep

Can confirm, stayed in a hostel down the street from it once.
Yeah, Shinjuku is infamous for...other things.
@@kyokkyuu It's a redlight district, right?
@@qwertyuiopasone3053 I'm well aware, but Kabukicho and Shinjuku station are the first things I think of. I'm partial to Shibuya.
Lots of scenic views, food, festivals and shrines. Love it
I found it really nice how you introduced Fukui. It's often overlooked being next to Kyoto for example, but I really loved it there not just because of the dinosaurs, but they are great of course..! :)

Love the video you made! Thanks for giving a shoutout to the prefectures! I especially love the one you made about Aomori, you gave all the highlights thanks! XD
I love japan from indonesia🇯🇵❤️🇲🇨
I love how every prefecture is so unique, and each of them specialize in some kind of industry. Now, thats what I would call harmonious geography.
And btw, Japanese prefectures have the best flags everrr.

Man when you brought up momotaro you brought back so many childhood memories. Amazing video!
FILLER WEEK SUGGESTION:
ASEAN EXPLAINED
Regionally based IGOs like ASEAN sound like a great idea for their future videos! Maybe they could also do the EU, NATO, or even OPEC too
I asked this long time ago, hope Barbs is gonna do ASEAN!

Or there is just a bed, pillow or something offcam, so it won't break.

Nice video! I'd like to see you revisit these prefectures in longer videos to get more in-depth information. I've lived in Kochi for about 5 years now and there's so much more information you can say about it.
Fun Fact: Some of the prefecture flags are stylized versions of their Japanese names! Btw 大阪は最高！

Anyway I really loved the depth of coverage you put into this video! I'm a current Japan resident and avid traveller of Japan, have lived in Okinawa and am now currently living in Ibaraki, and I've visited 34 out of 47 of these prefectures. Every one of them is special in their own way and I'm really happy you managed to showcase the uniqueness of each one.
Great video thanks Barby!
Speaking as a Finn, here: Funny that the SHITake mushrooms should originate in Beppu, as ”Peppu” means ”butt” or ”bum” in Finnish. It’s like that Djibouti CRACK, all over again. 😆
🤣
If you watch another TH-cam channel "Abroad in Japan", he has a few videos of him and his friends try different drinks and snacks from different counties...especially the salt licorice! Which I'm now okay with eating after trying them out when I visited Stockholm and Copenhagen.
@Nothing to Watch I can surely believe that 😄.
In Italian "Kagawa" means "he/she pooped" (it is written 'cagava' but it reads the same)
I've always found it funny that Finland and Japan have so much in common.

That's because Chicago is quite known for having many comedy bars and is considered as the center of stand-up comedy in the US, much like how Osaka is known for its comedians in Japan.

-The Shikoku island is known to have an 88 temple pilgrimage where you walk around the island clockwise visiting 88 Buddhist temples associated with the founder of the Shingon Buddhist sect, Kuki (Kobo Daishi).
-Ehime Prefecture is home to the Dogo Onsen, which is the inspiration to Yubaba's bathhouse in "Spirited Away".

My favorite prefecture was Wakayama which is where Nachi Falls, thehighest waterfall in Japan is (there's also a beautiful Temple next to it too).

Great video! Some famous things missing are The Dogo Onsen in Ehime. While Tokushima is also famous for their Japan blue or Aizome dye. :)
Yamaguchi Capital: Tottori
Oh, Barby.
Tokushima's Naruto waters have whirlpools.
Tokushima also has Mount Tsurugi - just to pad it out some more.
Kagawa has islands famous for art, especially Shodoshima.
Kochi has a large yosakoi festival (the first in Japan).
Tottori also has Mount Daisen.
Fukuoka has a reputation for the Yakuza, especially the north, Kokura.
Shimane also has horse archery (yabusame) in a town famous for its shrine.
Of course, there's much more.
The awadori festival in Tokushima is really cool.
Overall, well done though! There is, as you said, a lot to cover.
