fast and it just rotates I mean oh my God the camera was just blown away I mean thank God I made that last minute decision to take it off because there's no way you have to hold on the whole time oh my God that was crazy so good I want to do it again can we go back this is this is supposed to be the scary ride it's so great this was fast and it was twisty and it was windy and it had a little bit of tease with fat with Mount Fuji at the top but it was not scary it was awesome I don't know I felt a little scared it's like I had butterflies oh my God okay so now you are riding dodoma and this is the most accessorated right so in that one point party each second you're gonna go up to 180 kilometer enjoy oh my God we're about to ride the dotomba which goes 180 kilometers in 1.3 seconds are you

we're doing right now we've already getting the Jitters because I'm uh a little nervous about this it actually like it doesn't just go in circles it rotates at the same time so like I haven't done this since I was a kid for this ride we have to take our shoes off the reason for that is because you're literally floating you hang off the ride and they twirl you this is gonna be the scariest ride in the entire park enjoy [Applause] I'm not ready for this oh my gosh Last Ride oh my god wow that right it was so amazing it was super intensely because you're floating at the same time when you're

drink and then after that at 10 pm there's actually a Ramen like restaurant it's only open for one hour free Ramen for one hour from 10 P.M to 11 p.m so this hotel is basically like a night place they also have public baths and private baths now let me tell you about this so basically you know I have tattoos as you guys know I have tattoos so I can't go into the public baths and the reason for this is because during Samurai period you know all the criminals you know in jail they'll get tattoos so they weren't allowed into the baths right so that is the reason why I do it and it's a tradition that still like lives on you know three four five hundred years later so I'm gonna go to the private bath now also here next to the bar in the lobby they have a souvenir shop in the souvenir shop you have like lots of chocolates and lots of things they produce in the area they also have T-shirts they have jewelry they have a lot of things for kids I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to buy some chocolates for my family I'm looking for something for my daughter here and they also have like some delicious whiskey if you guys didn't know in Japan they make whiskey so I'm gonna buy a Japanese whiskey from this area for my father and now let's go to the private bath before going to the private baths I had to come back to my room and I had to get the towels and look the towels are in the closet towels I called downstairs because I was like is there anywhere to put my clothes like oh no you have actually closed to go downstairs and so here we have it gown pants so I'm Gonna Change really fast oh this is amazing look at this guys and there's also slippers right when you enter the room take off your shoes obviously Japanese etiquette always take off your shoes and there's like I don't know four or five different slippers there all right now let's go to the private bath okay so here we are to the left hallway path here we have the spa and here we have private baths there's five different ones and this light indicates somebody's actually there so there's a stone bath and this bath available let's choose one okay [Music] super freaking nice so wow so this is like a sauna in a way it's a bath hot bath and right here just how to enjoy the Onsen so first wash your body so take a shower right there you rinse your body with hot water the third thing is you go into the bath the next thing is leave the bath without rinsing your body first half body then it's up here and then leave the bath without rinsing your body all right I'm gonna enjoy this I can't wait it's my first time in Onsen and unfortunately because I have tattoos I can't go in the public one that's fine there's always a private one if you do have tattoos just go private that's the only way you can do it well guys I'm gonna enjoy this I'll see you in a jiffy all right I did it wow that was so relaxing oh my God you guys have no idea took a nice shower I reached myself with hot water got into the boiling water we gotta go slowly like it says here slowly go up to your stomach wait there for a few minutes then go down to here then when you're ready go like all the way up to here and something I didn't take as early as you gotta put a like a super cold wet towel on top of your head and just have it there and then when you feel really high you just like press down let it gush out all that cold water wow that was so amazing all right and just like that change I'm ready to go downstairs and have some sake at the bar and then after that at 10 p.m we're going to eat some Ramen okay so that's the second menu perfect thank you so much and I'll go with this one all right so I'm going to taikin yamadone and I had this one early today that's why I'm drinking it but it looks amazing they have so many things to choose from delicious sake it was a 1200 yen for like a big glass I mean it's like at least like four different like shops right and if you want the whole bottle it was 4 500 so by 45 bucks so 12.45 and this one's actually from this area you know she's telling me the clear the sake is the better it is and this one's actually like 40 clear so dry same to Middle sweet oh my God it's amazing I always drink Sake at Japanese restaurants it's just a thing I do I'd rather do that than beer or wine or anything else and you're not supposed to pour yourself another thing Japanese etiquette I always have somebody poor you drink for you foreign it's amazing it's not too strong I think like 15 proof so it's not it's not like crazy strong but if you have like two of these it's a lot they go ball to yourself it's a lot all right so after that sake we're back here in the petite poche and we're gonna have some Ramen at 10 p.m can't wait I'm excited please choose one which is better so I'm very surprised at how many people are here to eat ramen at 10 pm it's amazing and so you saw as soon as I came in they gave me two options to tomato or soy sauce like that soy look at me

subscribe to my channel for more awesome travel content I'll see you in the next child food Adventure in Japan oh [Music] foreign good morning everyone David Hoffman here from David's been here in beautiful yamanashi prefecture Japan today I'm extremely excited because I'm going to start it off right here at a sake Brewery then from here I'm going to Observation Deck to see Mount Fuji which is right over there and then after that we're going to eat some wheat noodle hot pot I've never been to Osaka Brewery I love sake I've never had wheat noodle hot pot it's really a special thing here in yamanashi and as you can tell it's right now it's freezing it is like 32 Fahrenheit literally zero Celsius and we're going to the sake Brewery let's go amazing it's so cool I know wow so we're just like walking through the back of this Village it's really amazing out here wow what are they doing so many things going on the breweries back here somewhere well here it is we also have media here yeah what's up man you good you're good all right let's do this yeah this Brewery tastes like over 300 years and before they produce sake they used to produce miso this guy the owner he's the 21st generation so like it dates back you know great great great great great great great grandfather really amazing and he was telling us that saki dates back over 2 000 years the history of sake it started in Shinto shrines the monks there like started producing sake and that's how it all started so you know America has bourbon France has wine here in Japan it's sake rice wine as you can see here they have a lot of soccer for sale I think I'm taking this bottle because it looks so amazing I think I needed to give this to my wife because she's the best and she deserves the best this is so good now we're gonna see the barrels and the brew house is that what it is at first we make sure you put the screen now and then you're gonna put some water 98 make sake in winter season if we make suck in some time there's many bacterias in the air or water in Japan there's only a thousand two hundred breweries or sake breweries in this prefecture there's 15 and we're at one of the best so this is the fermentation room as you can see these are huge barrels and each one is a different sake wow this one is ginormous wow look at all the rice beautiful smell really sucky yeah yeah it smells like fermenting rice like it's a mix between rice and alcohol this Brewery makes eight different types of sake and each one of these is a different stage in the process this room is Asian room is in those tanks these are the holding tanks and this is basically where they age the sake and sake aging is very different than Wine and whiskey it's six months to two years and they have two different ways you can either do in these tanks or they could do in bottles I mean these are massive tanks massive wow like inside the Aging room look at this whoa one is okay with two types we're starting with diginjo which is the best 40 this is amazing so I don't drink that much and we're starting from the top yeah oh my God the best sake ever oh that's really good it's so good it's really good number two come pie come by come by this is the second best okay so once you're done trying the sake time to buy it right so I'm gonna get their two best this one and this one and it's 33 dollars for each bottle so 66 I'm also gonna get this guy right here for my house this is a sake like Barrel right thank you so much so I bought two bottles of sake for my wife I bought a sake cup a sake pour and I bought a little mini barrel of sake and what the cool thing is about the barrel is that it's something I can put in my house and it has like the logo of this sake Brewery which stays over 300 years I mean what an experience and it's really affordable I mean 33 US dollars for the best bottle they have is extraordinary because I go to any winery in the world and I feel like the best bottle is usually like two three four five hundred dollars same thing with like whiskey pour even worse oh so I highly recommend when you come out to Japan if you're into you know alcohol into alcoholic beverages you gotta try sake you know it's a tradition dating back over 2000 years and yeah let's go to the observation deck and in this they have a nice Observatory so you see the another beautiful view of the Mount Fuji we're gonna see the observatory here get amazing views over Mount Fuji but we literally have four minutes because we're really late up there okay let's do it gotta run up here oh my God I'm winded wow that's beautiful really beautiful well there it is but we're not there yet up it's called the Fuji sendesk who you send it five minutes takes five minutes to get it to the top nah okay wow wow look at Mount Fuji incredible oh yeah on the right side you use the beautiful cargo's colleague it's a volcano Lake around 9th century there is a big eruption and they stop the river and they have a nice bacon on this today look at the beautiful Mount Fuji from here yeah I mean this is definitely the best views I've gotten in Mount Fuji as you can see you look over everything I mean just clearly see it beautiful it's in the top of Mount Fuji it's full of snow right now we have a nice little wet and like you see mountains and mountains and mountains over here we have the beautiful Lake we stayed right over there at the hotel La Vista and it's just gorgeous for like inside a valley it's really amazing and this deck is is just perfect I mean it's not so high but it looks over all the trees from here to Mount Fuji so so now we're going to lunch yes so yamana is a week Noodle and it is a famous the Samurai and he used to eat this hot dog before he went to battle so let's go in the hotel restaurant and you see the big uh yeah it's amazing yes the restaurant has two different types of dining Halls so here on the left we have like the samurai style you know take off your shoes and go down and sit like and then over here we have like regular seating you know the chair and right here we have our food oh my God so it's a hot pot all right so here we have Inari Sushi which is basically like rice in the middle and then you have fried tofu with a sweet sauce I actually had it in Tokyo it's freaking amazing look at this here we go um oh my God it almost tastes like honey honey with tofu and sticky rice I'm gonna add some ginger to it it's so good so good so I'm just gonna stuff it all right stuff the ginger in there pick it up like that it's really filling so amazing huh and it's the spoon for the hot pot whoa grab some of those wheat oh my God the noodles are ridiculous look at that oh my God they're huge nope they don't want to get inside the plate in a little Bowl here we go wow that's incredible smells amazing look at the size of these noodles they are like giant noodles this is something you get in China I've had a lot of this in China so we also have some like super red chili flakes here oh my God and it comes with a little scooper oh that's good that's good wow the noodles are so thick it's amazing wheat noodles the spice I put a lot I put it up people eat this whole Bowl the bowl is ginormous and what else is in here because I see a piece of tofu right [Music] it's incredible pumpkin but it's a little overwhelming for the size the size is just like and then right here we have a nice piece of fried tofu that tofu looks delicious so this lunch cost 1500 Yen for the combination with the inadi and the wheat noodle hot pot you can just get the weed noodle hopper for 1200 so 15 to 12 I suggest a combination and let this like like open this up and let it just chill because it's really boiling [Music] so it's wheat noodles with mushrooms tofu vegetables in a miso soup right everything's miso because they produce miso oh but it's still too hot right it's a really hearty meal like especially for for this for winter you know the reason why this hot pot's so big is because the samurai what they would do is they would eat this before going to battle they would eat this it gives them a lot of nutrients all the essential vitamins they need and then they were going to battle most likely they wouldn't eat for a day or two you know so they had to have a really fiddling meal to go at it right miso soup so good [Music] I mean this is my favorite like noodles with miso the best I'm gonna have one last noodle one last noodle done where are we going to the station to catch a train oh I need my sweater my jacket I'm freezing out here all right guys so it has been an amazing day we tried some delicious sake at a sake Brewery that was just phenomenal The Taste there was just so different you know coming straight from the brewery a

boiled it looks like a big tofu I'm just gonna put the Wasabi directly on top I don't love this this is Japanese omelette right I think so Japanese omelette I'm guessing they put soy into it because that was a very soy taste look at this salmon looks amazing and right under it what do we have some tofu baby sardines so many almost really seaweed very similar saltier though what I love about traditional Japanese breakfast is that it's like almost like an Indian tally like you have 20 or 30 different things to choose from always here we have fish cake with seaweed just like evaporated my mouth that's how good that was next up we have squid it looks like more like an oyster to me but yeah squid with a nice sauce beautiful and you like just like that right the sauce tastes almost like a mix which you can catch up in mayonnaise next up next up this is sardines with radish and she said to put it inside the rice you don't have to put it you eat with okay that's what you're with yeah

really beautiful here the houses all the rain I love this Pond here with the koi fish and just the architecture is really incredible I mean this this probably dates back like three 400 years see the rooftops yeah just beautiful let's go inside let's let's go explore the village we got our camera crew right here following us so it is raining right now so we have to open our umbrellas let's see here we go I guess the only way we can do it it's the only way to walk around right now it is raining like crazy she's in Temple the last time you remained by the cold water because this is a hot spring of town so they have a hot spring it's coming up here so it's rather warm so you can cleanse here can't fast before we explore the distributions Temple all right this is how it plans right ah and then right here and then like this right perfect there you go Temple and it's established around 9th century by kukai who is very famous monk and this is a starting point of this chuzange town just take off my shoes and now we're entering the main hall yes in here you will see that around 13 seconds and this Temple is beautiful it really shows you how old this area is I mean easily dating back to Imperial Japan time every single column every single piece of wood here is just perfectly carved everything's so smooth and I mean look at the craftsmanship it's just gorgeous unfortunately it's raining I'd rather it be snowing you know but uh I guess it's okay the hardest thing about traveling is you never can predict the weather walking through the town very nice super clean town a lot of traditional houses here also we're going to Observation Deck okay cool we're gonna get a bird's eye view of the town first thing we have to do is take off our shoes very nice wooden bell tower sort of reminds me of like walking up a bell tower in Europe how many flights of stairs do we have I'm guessing a lot there's like at least four stories it's not bad four stars I can do that it's amazing and right here we have the temple our rokan is right over there the rivers look right there in the middle this town started from right there right it's the temple okay but what's that that's the hot spring at fast hot spring but as I told you this Temple is started with a cookie and the same the monk he kind of it is Vision it is it he kind of cracked the Rock and the hot spring is gushing out so that's that's starting point well the area is over a thousand years old incredible now let's make our way down and we're gonna head over to the bamboo forest we saw it last night but obviously we need to see it during the day it's going to be a completely different View you know uh all lit up beautiful like 50 to 60 foot bamboo trees thank you Arigato um right here in front of the river we have a heated pool for your feet so basically you still have your shoes put your feet in there and cool down it's it's amazing and you can see the steam coming out Steve just keeps coming out we're in the spot where a monk over a thousand years ago cracked this rock and a hot spring came out this is right along the river and it's in the center of the town you can see just steam coming out really hot right how hot it's hot extremely high oh my God all right let's go to the bamboo forest okay and I'm right here in front of us we have another like hot pool for your feet if it's really cold just take off your shoes and cool down okay so this is called kawanoy and so nowadays innovate it as a food pass so people just walking and they enjoy put your hood on the nice hot spring we're walking along the river on this like footpath a little passageway right here and we're about to cross the bridge and this place is just beautiful and here we have the bamboo forest right there incredible here we have that's not yeah that is our Rokon that's where we stayed last night and it just feels like a scene out of a movie right now so gorgeous feels like it can be in the middle of Europe just the way it looks very foggy Misty beautiful winter day we are now walking through the bamboo forest this Forest is pretty young it's 15 years old it's located right here along the river it's only like a two minute walk from my hotel and as you can see it's small in the center they have this big circle of bamboo so like a basically a table bamboo so you can lay down and look up I did it last night but right now unfortunately it's raining so you can't do that and if you didn't know bamboo grows really really fast they cut bamboo right now in about a year it'll be like 60 to 100 feet tall that's how fast it grows just really really quick these are easily there's around 300 bamboo trees here and they are like 60 to 70 feet tall so I mean they're pretty young some of them look really thin and uh yeah I mean such a great experience out here off the beaten path in Japan you know my thing is I you know I love big cities I love Tokyo soccer Kyoto I mean they were you know incredible places and especially the food but coming out to places like this that people don't know about it's something you guys have to do when you travel and yeah when you come out to Japan definitely come out here you guys will love it today we had such an incredible breakfast like a 13 course breakfast just phenomenal the food was so good I love fish for breakfast then we sell a temple which is beautiful observation deck we looked over the entire town we saw the hot springs along the river and then we came out to the bamboo forest which is just so peaceful out here so peaceful and guys if you love this video please give me a thumbs up leave me a comment below and subscribe to my channel for more awesome travel content I'll see you in the next child food Adventure in Japan peace [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey what's up guys David Hoffman here from David's been here in beautiful atami shazola prefecture Japan this town is a resort town about 40 minutes to drive south from Tokyo and they're famous for a few things so they're famous for salted fish but they're also famous for having cherry blossoms in January yes Cherry blossomed in January it's one of the only places you can see at this time of year cherry blossoms usually bloom in March and April here in Japan but this city is a little hotter so it actually blooms now we're gonna go see that right now and then after that we're gonna go have some French food in Japan I'm very excited about that we're gonna explore the atami Ginza which is like the shopping district they're their shops there's craft breweries there's a lot of different things there so you guys ready let's go explore atami this feels is more like a Beach town in Europe as you can see lots of cool buildings got some palm trees over here and we're walking through like a garden as you can see right here lots of different plants the sun's come out I'm like starting to get really hot I'm gonna take off my sweater but yeah I mean I'm sure the fish here is outstanding the water is literally right there everything's in Japanese but I'm guessing these are like hotels maybe some residential buildings here as well lots of commercial on the ground levels that means know what Hot Springs the town called and it's that room in starting from middle of the January so now it's the best time to see so let's take one okay so that them is also famous for the dried fish so you have a Mac wheel that how they dry the fish so if you dry the fish The Taste is more intense so you have a much more rich flavor oh wow and there you have it if you're in Tokyo in January come down to atami it's a short drive until the cherry blossoms wow there's around 30 or 40 cherry blossom trees right here along the river and we can actually go down wow and just go down here and see them from the bottom definitely gotta be careful because it's a little slippery oh let me let me go through here oh man it's amazing oh my God this is super slippery really cool I actually think it's better to see them from above right here I mean it's nice but it's not the same thing being really up close to them is a lot better starting broom from the middle of January until the middle of the February so if you happen to be here please join us yeah so if you haven't been in Tokyo short drive this is gorgeous as you can see this tree is huge after the seconds of the Second Street in the oh wow so pretty [Music] so because atomy is a climate is quite warm so that's why it's actually it's a faster person you see the year that it's starting from here that's the reason why cherry blossoms bloom in January here it's because it's so warm obviously we're next to the Sea it's not cold at all I'm like I'm sweating with the sweater and wow look here's a way better view oh this is the shot right here if you're thinking about coming to Japan and you want to come to see the cherry blossoms I highly recommend coming in January and coming here to Tommy the problem with coming in March and April is like yeah you'll be able to see cherry blossoms everywhere in Japan but the biggest issue is that it's going to be super super expensive that's when everybody wants to come to Japan that's when the hotels are completely booked so yeah I mean if you are in Japan in January come outside it's really quick from Tokyo and I mean look at this this is stunning this is like incredible wow it's beautiful hi Dave hi David what do you think they are very peaceful and they're so timid you know they come around so infrequently so it's nice to be able to come here whenever they're in full bloom foreign this is something I love about Japan is that there's 2.4 million liquid vending machines throughout the country right here there was two of them and I haven't had my coffee for the day so I'm having coffee black espresso this is amazing and it cost me 140 so a dollar 40 cents the only problem is whenever you have trash in Japan it's so hard to find a trash can it's like impossible so the best thing to do is drink the coffee next to the vending machine because there was a trash can there and now we're off to lunch we're gonna have French food yeah so here's the restaurant wow yeah it looks good yum tomato soup French style here in Japan oh what is that nice Bread on top oh it looks too hot right I have to wait it's too hot it's too hot yummy and as you saw this restaurant's very cozy very small I think six Table Restaurant first time trying French food in Japan I love French food it's been a while oh nice A little bit of time in case you need it nice thick tomato soup it's fantastic still really hot they'd almost taste like an onion soup as well I mean like these places like the bamboo forest our main course is sea bass I think you got beat right you got beef we got beef and there's really good root vegetables they all seem really lucky yeah a lot of vegetables here got some potatoes got a nice creamy sauce some rice as well a grilled sea bass that has has some batter on it it's amazing no food oh I love the batter to use on this it's super tasty food was delicious but I have a limited time so I wanted to show you [Music] right

lot of different things I mean so many different fish you got like sardines you have Wasabi you have seaweed hello again everything looks amazing you got shrimp squid nothing to try I can't try anything no no nothing to try oh it's unfortunate see the problem here is that everything is take home and cook but so many good things lots of Fish seafood seafood seafood and right here we have a little table area for seating and yeah let's go to the Ginza luckily it's been caused other places I've been in Japan everywhere else has been really really frigid I mean I think the coldest place I've been was Osaka maybe Kyoto I mean Kyoto was like 20 something Fahrenheit every day and right here we have a Tommy Ginza this is a shopping district as you can see it's a long Street lots of restaurants shops we have souvenir shops we have a lot of salted fish and we also have some craft beer right here let's go see if we can try a craft beer this shop right here sells dried fish right at the door as you can see all the dried fish right here they also have a lot of other things they got shrimp scallops you have Oysters we mean so many things fish cakes wow this looks incredible yummy yummy everything looks so good can I try anything anything to try or everything Ziploc that's the only problem here is that you have to buy stuff and take it home to cook but I mean look how many things they got they have never any amount of things they got some eel wow that looks so good what else do they got well they have like a mini Barracuda right here I don't know maybe I should buy something either later Maybe incredible amount of seafood here I mean obviously we're by the water so lots of seafood and the thing what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna post up right here I'm gonna get myself a craft beer yes craft beer great what do you have paleo pills and Red Ale can I try this one paleo perfect one pillow I'm trying this craft beer from atami dramatic and it's a pale ale mmm oh it's really good really good fantastic actually and something really cool about Japan is that you can actually have an open container out on the street so I can drink this and just walk around the city so they're telling me that this place is actually called maruya so Guest House of Maria so it's actually a hostel and this is the Terrace area so they have craft beer and they also have food so you have food as well mackerel sandwich is the best mackerel sandwich yes yay thank you thank you Arigato Arigato arigators wow this street is awesome because people at that hotel the guest house

Japan where you can see them so definitely come to Japan in winter and come here to atami and see the cherry blossoms the French food was freaking amazing you know I was almost skeptical because you

of a black egg in Japan um so apparently well I'll tell you guys that black egg was delicious I like hard-boiled eggs so that was pretty good it doesn't really taste different but they say extend your life but we bought the eggs there's also like a huge souvenir shop huge I mean they have everything like chocolate sake I mean you name it they got it Japanese stuff and they also have some cool Vlogs

hardcore I'm hoping the place we're going next is uh not raining because open air museum and this place is so oh my God it is raining like intensely whenever we were going up the hills I looked off to the side and I kind of had a Second Glance thinking it was like the Blue Ridge Parkway after a short 20-minute Drive we've arrived here to the hakone open air museum they have a Picasso exhibit and basically as you see it's an open park there are a few different things park space here Brown Plaza here we can't film inside the buildings but we can film outside where the sculptures are it looks beautiful let's walk around and explore follow me we just walked into the hakone open air museum this Museum dates back to 1969 and this was the first open air museum of its kind in Japan it has over 400 pieces of work between the indoor and outdoor portion outside is over 120 sculptures and the overall size is 70 000 square meters they also give me an audio guide and with the audio guide it's in

for more awesome travel content I'll see you in the next travel food Adventure in Japan peace plum wine is pretty good pretty good [Music] morning everyone David Hoffman here from David's been here in beautiful hot Corner Japan it is 5 45 a.m and this morning what I want to do is I want to take you to eat a traditional Japanese breakfast and I want to take you to an Onsen which is a hot spring this hotel is called the mizunoto it's a mix between a Japanese house which is a raycon and a regular hotel as you can see half my room is Japanese style low table low chair and then the other side is just a regular Hotel you got two beds you have a bathroom you have a toilet you have a shower here in Japan a hot spring tub is called the Onsen so it's a tub that fills up with really hot water obviously from the hot spring and what they do is they give you this so you have your towel and you also have this little towel that you put in your head and you basically put it into super cold water so you're in the hot tub and you put this on and it's amazing and the way you walk around this hotel is you get this like a traditional rope and they give you this blue little jacket you put on top in case you're a little cold and and yeah so we're gonna go right now to the Onsen there's two different types of the public and the private and the reason I can't go into the public bath is because during Samurai times anybody who was a criminal had a tattoo so basically part of Japanese culture is to never allow anybody with a tattoo into a public bath that's okay I can go into the private bath so let's go down to the private bath and then we're going to breakfast let's go okay so this hotel has four floors I'm staying in 412 and what I have to do is I have to go down to the first floor and then go through a passage and then from there I'll get to the private baths but yeah I'm excited looking good right loving the shoes slippers here we go so the passage is like freezing this is where we are say guest room passage so we're going here right so as you can see at the moment all three private baths are occupied so they're right here occupied so they're basically to the key I'm uh I'm hoping somebody comes back quick because I'm freezing okay so I've been waiting for like 20 minutes and still nothing so what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna show you the area where the Austin's are and wow It snowed last night oh this is great look at this it's I'm freezing right now by the way it's 33 Fahrenheit and this is how it looks right now look at all the snow incredible as you see that's the awesome somebody's using it very nice lots of snow here I mean I'm gonna leave these people in peace here because they might think I'm like creeping on their stuff but they can only be in the Onsen for about 40 minutes I have only 15 minutes till breakfast so unfortunately won't be able to use the Onsen right now I'll probably come back here and quickly get a shot and show you guys but uh oh it is cold let's go to breakfast so we have 7am breakfast here it's like a scheduled breakfast restaurants they give us a number and that means the spot that we're gonna be sitting okay so take off my shoes as well for 80. okay so here is our huge Japanese breakfast we're actually sitting one table away from where we sat last night for our incredible incredible incredible Japanese barbecue which was like out of this world we have only one thing to barbecue today we have the barbecue right here but then we have a bunch of other things we have like here we have a poached egg she said to put some soy sauce we have miso soup we have like a ginger salad then we have a bunch of different vegetables here we have like minced tuna uh right here we have another soup looks incredible like a fish cake and a few other things in here fish from a hot pot that's what it looks like first things first gotta put this on the grill let it cook for a bit okay so the first thing I'm gonna start with is this fish cake here oh it looks so good look at this mmm it's so hot it's been drowning like in a miso oh I love it fish cake with carrots though it's been drying in this miso soup and here we have like a piece of I think it's a piece of chicken the chicken here we have the poached egg I'm just gonna put some soy sauce poached egg yeah right there just bursted this one's gonna be a little hard to eat it's like broken pieces here it's more like a soup egg oh wow the yolk is super runny the egg white mixed with the soy sauce I'm just gonna drink it oh wow it's a lot of soy let me get this out that's cooked oh fish barbecue I'm gonna try some of his other stuff so here we have this is basically so Japanese omelette looks amazing hmm that's your little sweet but I like it and here we have the salmon nice piece of salmon it's been cooked like to Perfection I hope um nice roasted taste still super hot here we have another piece of fish it's like a fish sausage cake as you can see minced tuna you got the Wasabi right there how to mix it in together oh that's great oh look at that I'm all about minced tuna hmm very soft wasabi super kick wow there's something about eating fish or breakfast I personally enjoy it like a lot here we have some more fish cakes as you see nice and soft tastes almost like The Omelette same consistency next up we have this bad boy fish so this fish you gotta be careful because there's spines in here and there's also oh yeah big spines wow that's like too much it's gonna break it up a little bit a few pieces thank you I'm not a big fan of with fish with spots so I'm going to pass on that from different vegetables with accelerate nice and yummy so there's another fish looks like Bonito and they have a little like cream next to it oh wow that cream is super super creamy like extremely sweet but you know it's a little salty that's great it's not vegetables guys there's so many things I'm just going through the mom I have a very limited time I have to be somewhere in the next 25 minutes so ginger salad it's a lot of it it's a nice refreshing ginger salad oh super refreshing it's a good Paddock cleanser after that fish let me get some of this soup really quick so no it's like a miso tofu soup so for this one straight Chopsticks oh look at that mmm nice tofu um very delicious soup very earthy herbal here we have tofu with soy as you can see it's really delicious I love this it almost reminds me of the consistency of creme brulee from here but the taste is completely different it's almost like a creme brulee but tofu Style very creamy so good I love the soy in here we have this jelly as you can see I'm guessing this is dessert could be like a flan all right let's see um delicious custard wow so freaking creamy it's very milky and frothy oh my God I mean that's basically the only thing left is some rice here but I'm good with rice right now I mean I had a huge breakfast the only thing I didn't like was this fish because his bones and a spine in there I'm good with that I think my favorite thing was this one this tofu is soy it's gonna like get in here and dig in it incredible did we go back to the bats let's go let's go we have time let's go really fast wow all still occupied I also want to tell you about the ramen last night they have Ramen at 10 30 PM I've only done it in one other Hotel on this trip but let me not tell you about it let's experience it it's pretty amazing and what my friends my Japanese friends were telling me is that you know when they eat dinner it's because you're eating fish and vegetables they get hungry later so they'll go out for ramen and the love because Ramen is obviously noodles with broth and it's delicious I can't wait I mean it's opening in three minutes so this restaurant is like a traditional Japanese restaurant in the middle is like a little pond with a rock I'm number two and uh yeah so number one is called I'm Number Two they're gonna call me right now and watch right now wow we have some Ramen some pork in it some seaweed some onion amazing still pretty hot super thin noodles did you see extremely thin mmm so good pork right here is that nice broth very good extremely hot though you know it's funny they do this at night because it's so much food at this point I mean it's one big Ramen Bowl our mom is basically like pasta thick noodles for me it's very unique because I've never been to a place where they eat ramen at night obviously Ramen is from Japan it's pretty cool that they do this at night this is my second hotel we have Ramen at 10 pm here's a little later 10 30. I'm done [Music] guys thank you after eating the ramen I heard like a lot of wind and a lot of rain so I came outside and I'm looking I'm like what the you know this is crazy it's snowing it just stopped snowing now it's like all just coming down and slush so as you can see snowflakes all over the trees lots of snow everywhere snow all over the floor and I guess that's enough for me because I am freaking freezing here in the lobby of the hotel they have a huge souvenir shop as you can see they have chocolates clothing sake I mean they have so many different things but everything is from Japan and a lot of this stuff is local the hotel is in 95 rooms just like mine half Japanese half regular they have three private onsens unfortunately we couldn't go to them because they were always full so I mean I got there like at six in the morning and it was full and they also have public answers you could tell the difference between the onsense by the curtinent the curtain is pink it's for women if the current is blue it's for men and right now we're gonna go on a train ride just waiting for my guide here okay now we are hitting Juarez online it's a local train so we do some of the experience using the local train and a lot of people do this experience of course yeah okay awesome let's go I love this after a quick like five minute driver hit the station and they must afford so much snow on us last night at least three inches okay so this is the snow is very famous for the Switchback because according month is quite steep so they have to switch the starter Point start and also in so the driver is going moving forward and backwards wow okay okay we're going we're going I love it no reserve seats oh whatever's whoever's gonna be the best for photos we're going this way

so many flavors a lot of contrasting flavors okay so here we have it the old dent I got five different things we got the macro right here wow this looks amazing got fish cake we have shrimp right here this is a shrimp cake we have macro dumpling and we got a white fish oh my God this white fish looks like a huge scallop and in front we got some condiments so we have mustard we have Wasabi and we have misos love me so okay so macro I'm gonna get some of the Wasabi for this guy oh my God it's really hot Wasabi it's extremely hot finally finally finally so we have the fish I'm gonna try it alone hmm nice dense fish yes very strong but yeah a rare Wasabi I'm gonna try the mustard and change it up the matcha is strong too very strong we got the spicy combination right here I guess we'll try both of them together see how hot it is enough of that I'm gonna try the other ones so next up we have the white fish it looks like a humongous scallop let's see very dense that's what I've noticed about everything here and they're all very dense the cakes almost good let me get some of that miso some miso on top poke it in so we have mackerel dumpling right here yeah you definitely taste the chunks of macaroness mmm very fishy a little salty but damn good should I dip into one of these I'll just dip into the Wasabi water thank you that's good it's good he's doing that green tea and lastly so it's a shrimp cake looks like a plum tree I love how all these cakes they're so unique anything here on the Pacific is like a must do but the best part is the broth fish broth just tastes like a miso soup especially because it's cold outside to end our meal we have macro sushi with seaweed on Top This is beautiful this is like looks amazing yeah it's working hard really gorgeous put some of that it's the most beautiful sushi that we've had a taste the seaweed is very different almost tastes like a fragrances coming out of that right well you only get four pieces so you gotta make them count put a little bit of that Wasabi in there this is probably the best sushi I've ever had like really you're so good yeah just the flavors the texture as you said there's something in between Blossom or something next up which I didn't know we had another thing to eat but we have this and we have also dessert so we have wheat noodles look how big these noodles are wow it's amazing hmm oh wow they're so juicy and all they absorb the soup so the price of this meal is a thousand eight hundred Yen 18 bucks for an incredible meal best sushi I ever had in my life incredible hot pot and these noodles are just so good but I'm getting cool it's like a five course lunch for 18 bucks so lastly we have vanilla ice cream with plum jam on top oh wow oh I love it it tastes more like an orangey taste to it delicious okay so we just finished the incredible lunch and now we're gonna do is we're gonna take the bullet train from here to Tokyo the bullet train takes 35 minutes I think we're going to economy class and that's fine because I actually experienced like the business last year green cart on the ride from Tokyo to Kyoto and Osaka to Tokyo this is gonna be great I can't wait to experience the economy class bullet train from here to there I mean this is how this place is connected the best way to get from Tokyo to here is the bullet train don't take any other way this is Ottawa station and we're taking the Shinken Zen which is the bullet train it's only a 35 minute ride what we're gonna do now is we're gonna walk around here we still have about an hour to go we're gonna see and then we have Goku the Mochis oh my God this place is famous for its fish cakes and right here we have like a crazy selection of fish cakes I mean it doesn't end and they also have an incredible amount of sake and up there you have like sake barrels I actually bought one at the brewery went to but here they have them and they're like triple the price now we're gonna take the bullet train from arawara all the way to Tokyo we're going in cart 11 car 11. that is with reservation it's not the Green Card which I took earlier from Tokyo to Kyoto and then Osaka to Tokyo this is just reservation there's also regular where you could just you have to go into the cart and just pick a seat but we got a reservation thank God thank you again thank you and then we go through here you gotta put this guy in there right there boom I got it I got it are you ready for the bullet train anytime every time anytime the hardest thing for me is traveling with this huge luggage especially in Japan I mean every once in the world is easier because I just go like in a taxi or an Uber and I just drop it off but here's hardwood trains but it's cool I mean the biggest issue really is when I have to go up and down stairs but right now we're gonna escalator so it's great and uh our train is leaving whoa crazy I haven't seen that before like that once the train gets here you have to get on fast because they leave fast okay get in okay and then the best place to put your luggage is in the back all the way back yes thank you where's my other one sitting in car 11. there's actually three green cards which is like business class which is like super luxurious and you have three non-reserved cars and the rest of the cars the other 10 are with reservation like this one right here right now we're going almost was it 300 kilometers 350 kilometers per hour as you can see we're flying through Japan and it only takes us like I think 35 minutes from otherwara all the way to Tokyo so really quick I mean you barely have time to eat your bento box between adawara and Tokyo there's two stops but it's really really really fast so like the guys are getting off they get to the door they get off 20 seconds later they close the door so I mean it's that's the only thing is like when it's stopping and it's your stop you have to get ready with all your bags it's not gonna wait for you I mean it's really quick watch watch we're gonna do it right now and this stop is called your Ohama it's a famous Port Town they have a lot of good food here I want to come here next time so we're gonna get off and we're gonna get back on so there's Yokohama you see there's a train number 11. all right so it's about to leave literally about to leave let's get back in right he's leaving right now I mean it's really fast like really really fast there we go [Music] literally less than a minute okay and just like that 35 minutes later we are here in Tokyo guys I hope you enjoy the day a lot of our
