I went there on my last day in Tokyo which was about a week ago! But oh man they didn't have pumpkin when I was there! I so woulda gotten that flavor. When I went there, they had Seaweed, Apricot, Plain, and I forgot the other one. Anyways, OMG Agemanjyu is so so good. I ate a total of 4. x3
yeah thats one thing i dont like about japan, they dont hand me flyers or try to invite me in, its really annoying to be out-casted without reason other than the fact im foreign
Thanks for the video! My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to Japan and we're looking to stay in the tourist trap area. However, I am wondering what that word being shouted at you was and what it means. Thanks! ^_^
At the very end there? That's called okonomiyaki. Specifically, Hiroshima style. It's like a pancake/omlette/pizza with cabbage, buckwheat noodles, sauce, and whatever else you can think of inside: Pork, cheese, shrimp, squid, you name it. More sauce on top, sometimes Chinese mustard, dried bonito flakes. Yum yum.
When I first came to Japan, I too got stuck without toilet paper. Once is enough to learn. So whenever I am going to an unknown area, I NEVER leave home without tissues~!
So true, so true. After so long living in middle of Tokyo I tend to slack off basic survival techniques. Need to put tissues on the checklist next time I head out of town.
Couple reasons I haven't actually gone inside any of those places.
First, general monetary rule seems to be that if you can't take a thousand dollars cash out of your wallet, set it on fire, and laugh, then you probably shouldn't be going to a soapland.
Second, whenever I've had a thousand dollars cash in my wallet I've thought of something else to do with the money. Go figure.
If you do walk through intending to film while you walk I recommend rigging a bag with a hidden camera. They seemed nice but something tells me they might not be cool with tourists taking pictures.
Interesting thing about Yoshiwara, reading into it. It's a lot about being classy, having good manners. Zoning laws keep them from expanding or rebuilding, so they do what they can with what they've got. Seedy on the outside, sure, but they pick you up at the station in a Mercedes.
i was reading that some of this BAthing assitance costs about 450,000 yen. in kabukicho, its a bit cheaper. its like a classy sex industry establishment. or so i heard
450,000 yen sounds like a package deal with multiple women and small furry woodland creatures involved. Just under 100,000 yen is more typical for the expensive places. Or maybe 450,000 yen is what Dicaprio pays just for the private waiting room, who knows.
Lots of places cheaper than Yoshiwara, I'm sure. I figure you get what you pay for though.
YUP!! i been there. and i went inside the temple and saw everyone praying there hands to this Huge statue in there. and they sell these tasty little cakes on the side shop for 100 YEN~! i loved it there.. DAMn it. im going back to film a V log like yours.. good video
Hmmmm, beyond the beard, both the randomness of some videos and the happenings in the others make it all interesting. I'm glad I got directed to this channel hah.
いつ見てもおいしそう～に食べるね！

I'm actually wearing a Hanayashiki t-shirt right now, as I'm watching this. I bought it there back in the summer of 2006.
You make great videos, I like them a lot! Thanks for keeping them coming!

The agemanjyu looks really good. I've actually made mushimanjyu (it's the steamed variety) and it was great! ^-^

Yeah, I was surprised I enjoyed making it so much! Even with the heat the agemanjyu goodness made it worthwhile.

Why Japan, why Japanese is a long story. Particularly because it involves a clerical error. I'll get to it eventually. :)
