[kydrice]

shichi fukujin has now been added to my bucketlist. 2013 Japan trip or bust!

[WildBuck007]

Pretty damn good english for just hanging around the students. Sounds like he is from boston almost...but with a japanese accent. Go figure =D

[Nat4Brendan]

Holy crap, that place looks freaking awesome. So cosy and home-y! :D

[kurostorm]

What is the address?

[Keichan2501]

Seriously his english is pretty good. I would love to have a conversation with him.

[ProfHojoFan]

Whoa, I was really surprised by his English. I shouldn't stereotype people like that. His English skills > 1000x my Nihongo

[zinglonsale]

[katzcore]

I miss Izakaya.

[AndreyPurtov]

Very friendly and cozy place, and atmosphere inside of bar. Nice to look at this.

[IkuzoUniverse]

Is it easy living there, I mean as in do people accept you in their community? I have been to Japan is very selective.

[arivas713]

RANDOM QUESTION! i know your supposed to call japanese: 'last name'-san like nakamura-san, sato-san, but when first meeting a little kid do you still call the little dude 'last name'-san?

[KarinElegance]

It amazes me how jolly than man of Gin is ! xD

[10max1100]

[Cinlouxx]

Well I don't drink.. but I'm planning to go there soon.

[HoseiTutor]

Love the 居酒屋!!! I Ever since I first went to one, I´ve been wondering WHY resaurants and bars are usually split into two seperate facilities in Western cultures ?! Something I´ll probably never understand... Jin is adorable ^ ^ !!

[MrSmileyHasABigDong]

[twilightkinko]

These vids just make me realize how much america sucks. Looking at their homes and bars and stuff. Everything seems so comfortable and cozy. Everythings trashy here.

[megantotahni]

This was really sweet Annie!

[oAINGIRYo]

lol i like how he has different money bills from around the world (^_^)

[herecomesMrJefferson]

You say that the Izakaya is close to the East gate of your school, that makes me wonder... What is the Japanese cultural outlook on drinking as a student? Do they frown upon it, and the business owners who run bars near schools? Or do they not seem to pay any attention to it?

[watdoin69]

@herecomesMrJefferson by school she means Kansai Gaidai University, where nearly everyone is of legal age. And i can answer your last 2 questions: Japan has Alcoholic vending machines everywhere, even right by parks where kids play. People value integrity and expect everyone to do the right thing and drink only when legal to do so, or hold onto their rubbish for 30 mins till they find a trash can, etc. etc. people in Japan generally just do the right thing.

[brotherannie]

@watdoin69 aka, Japanese people > everyone else

[707upsidedown]

@brotherannie weaboo

[debbeko1]

@watdoin69 I agree. I think this is why America is falling apart, instead of teaching the youth to make good choices, we just make laws to tell them NOT to do things. I really loved living in Japan, it was a great a place.

[Vonwert35]

Really great video. You keep getting better at putting the videos together. Keep making them! :)

[karuharosu]

Nice choice on the Andrew Bird.

[SuperThatguy12]

yeah so seven gods:

hotei-fat &happy god for abundence and good health

Jurōjin, god of longevity

Fukurokuju, god of happiness, wealth and longevity

Bishamonten, god of warriors

Benzaiten (Benten-sama), goddess of knowledge, art and beauty, especially music

Daikokuten (Daikoku), god of wealth, commerce and trade. Ebisu and Daikoku are often paired and represented as carvings or masks on the walls of small retail shops

Ebisu, god of fishers or merchants, often depicted carrying a fish
