Dyson and it looks like Mount Fuji because it's just it's just so big it just juts out of the other skyline out of nowhere it has that shape to Mount Fuji a little bit you can see right it kind of reminds you of Mount Fuji right so they call it the Fuji of the West die sent and yeah this is a vegetable festival as I've been telling you so of course of course made Dyson out of Negi and it kind of looks like it you can see the white the white caps the snow on the top if you can see how it gets darker the mountain they even put broccoli which is famous in this area Wow now that's a mountain take a really hungry person to climb that thing Wow it took them like ten hours to make this one last look at Nagy dice and you won't see this anywhere else I mean it kind of looks like it looks like the mountain right kind of yeah because they did a pretty good job I can see it I can see it look behind me what's behind me more utakata alright let's check it out so these are the mascots for another local area mo mo mo mo Chon and yucca ah cute look at their starry eyes what have they been drinking touch that's I like the little ribbons on the Wow and here comes here comes their friends they've entered the station with baby and on board it's so funny it's so funny this is normal for Japan this is like normal this is everyday life okay and every mascot has it has a friend to help them around this is the yo net uses back in town this is my station no not go on don't forget the baby everyone's getting the pictures here [Music] okay so we got some high school kids here Alisa junior high school junior high Oh Oh even nanny yet they musta let me cut Oh what wonder is gone teacher tea ceremony teacher wonderful shall we try some tea ceremony tea made by a junior high school students yeah okay let's try some some high school and some junior high school team oh look they are doing it look what's the going there they're making much up [Applause] look at the dedication and the focus in those eyes they're really focused on their job [Music] okay let's try some yeah so you sit down and I guess they bring you some tea all right this is pretty cool Aikido not gonna this is not normal this is we're inside of the junior you're not go station and they have they've have like this little TT room corner this is pretty cool I've been to this station many many many times and it's just like just like today and the instructor is telling them how to serve and how to make it a tea so it's pretty it's pretty good it's pretty good to get that kind of instruction tea ceremony it's something that [Music] I'll tell you man okay I think it does I Wow so we got this Oh cut it in half okay I'm getting a tutorial and then you chow down oh gee oh ah super definable okay let's try it okay that's really convenient all right this is like a made from bamboo to chop it in half okay they're not new agey nah see nah she nah she dr. Jung a jiggle my machine mingle Nessie it's it has the taste of Japanese pear yeah he didn't know the word ha ha ha oh [Music] honey Oh David I had a Japanese pear taste I'm not it's called naxi Oh how'd you get those I must wow that's much so they just made it the students very cool all right let's try this here we go matcha but do me better naked I don't know how to drink it there's a certain way to drink it [Music] ah sigh go somebody [Music] which gotta talk so the taste of matcha is Amarista [Music] this is real Japanese culture we're like getting the real Japanese culture here so much of it the taste is really bitter and it's got that foam to it which I really like but it's it's bitter it's it's got tons of caffeine in it I'm probably not I'm gonna be hyped up all day like this okay okay all right do you want to see the children's land let's go take a look at the at Kitty land and then we're gonna end the livestream or maybe I'll end with some food maybe you can always end with some food so the kids over there so anyways about the matcha that's pretty cool the junior high school students are learning how to make do the tea ceremony and one way to to learn is to prepare it and just keep doing it and do it in good doing it and then drinking it it's probably better to to give away the tea while they practice right so it's good to come to an event like this everybody wins so they get to practice the tea ceremony and we get to drink it and they get the practice serving the tea to the customers which is also every little detail is important the way that you serve it the way that you presented the way that you turn the cup these are things that are beyond me a little bit I probably should take some tea ceremony lessons to be honest with you I've been your way too long not to know enough that's so cool is that sunrise Izumo no way sunrise express they've juniors like main a little train thing this is the coolest thing I've ever seen Wow we have this sounds as well that sunrise Izumo a bobby-boy thank you very much from Canada no I'm not paid by anybody to come here this trip is is totally because I get I came here when I was hitchhiking and I promised some of my friends that I would be back and what I wanted to do instead of just going and making a video on an area for like a couple of days I wanted to go and live there and I'm trying to test out this theory that it has if I live in the area I'm gonna make better content I'm gonna learn more about it and then find more original stuff stuff that other people aren't aren't introducing on YouTube and that's why I'm here for an extended period of time now look I guess you can go in and out through the here this is really cool and then I think I might be too big for this but Wow what happens if you push the button self-destruct button yeah hahaha I like that's pretty cool very cool this is you're right in front of your Naga station so the event for this bet this is all a celebration of vegetables so yeah very cool I can't I the first time one of the most popular videos on the only in Japan channel is the sunrise Izumo it's the night the Japanese night train episode I did a couple of years ago it leaves Tokyo at at 8:10 p.m. 8 p.m. 8 or 10 p.m. Tokyo Station it arrives in yonago in the morning around 8:30 in the morning and it's the last sleeper train it's the last every day used sleeper train in Japan so I highly recommend if you're in Japan and you want to take a sleeper train try that one sunrise Izumo all right but one piece of one piece of information that you that a lot of people don't know in Japan this is once again this is your Naga station right and you'll now go has this statue in the front you see this this has a meaning all right this statue has a meaning does anybody know what this means is there anybody out there who knows what this what this statue is so if you know the kanji for yo na go in it is comment or rice that's a piece of rice and they put this out in the middle of the station you can see welcome to your Naga or right here but rice is important vegetables produce it's all really important to yo na go in this area Dyson and Dyson is the big mountain in the area that provides all of the water provides all of the fertile soil for all of the vegetables it provides so many things it protects it from typhoons that the the typhoons aren't as strong because Dyson knocks down a lot of the clouds and that line for the crab soup has not gotten any shorter I was kind of hoping but no it's still pretty long we get Sargent chicken out here with the duck lips Wow this is a new one what the heck is that it dot err dad chicken sunrise easily warm a spot hey goat on yes this is the junior mascot it's a train so everything needs a mascot in Japan mind you this is the train go through you can see it sort of looks like the train that we saw back there right very cool look at the hand looks like a big wrench it's Helen Ellis ah so this is also like for fixing the train you can see it's a wrench very cute and just in case the track still going out he's got wings to fly away I guess very good is this ah yeah run away see sneaking up on me that was a lot of fun okay so I've gotten a chance to try and a lot of foods even beer at in the morning which is crazy but this festival is a lot of fun there's lots of stuff to eat lots of stuff to try here eat an okonomiyaki wow this is like pizza wow this is like local pizza this is how Peja pan makes pizza shrimp and brown pizza well he's making cut again cut I'll get this stuff whoa Oh it's a new problem so he puts in in this cut I gave it it's not you it's not your normal karaage this one has herbs and lots of other stuff in it oh yes that looks so good [Applause] so we're eating the chicken the chicken mascot it's pretty funny the chicken mascots walking by and they're eating chicken right here this not really that's not nice is it Wow lots of meat being grilled being [Applause] [Music] Wow just like I like the sounds of the festival right I like the sounds that you hear the music the feelings you get being surrounded by a lot of people if this was Tokyo you probably couldn't walk there'd be so many people here which is another reason why I like this area of Japan it's not as it's not as crowded it's a lot more relaxed mind you it's not as convenient to get around there's no subway here there's there are buses but they're irregular you need a car but this is a sort of a freedom that you get the streets are not as crowded as [Music] Oh [Music] so as I was saying this is really it's it's just the people are so friendly and relaxed compared to Tokyo or Tokyo it's all I don't know I always feel a little bit more stressed out because of all the activity around and when I come out out to to toady or to other places around here I feel so much more relaxed might be getting hungry again there's less usually going on for an hour so I'm gonna cut it right here it's been a lot of fun I got to see quite a bit we started at the convention center the station is in front of me right here and we walked we started the livestream in here this is the convention hall it's all located pretty much in front of the station and there's one of the EON shopping malls here this one that one's some kind of an old one but it's a nice one so I'll be here for a couple of weeks doing live streaming and making episodes for only Japan so obviously I'll be in touch this is not the end of the live streams we're gonna have one maybe almost everyday so something happening something's happening here maybe not later today because the typhoon looks like it's gonna hit us the clouds are moving really fast so wherever you are in the world have a good day have a good night I might go back and try that that crab soup if I do check out the Instagram I'll have some photos up there see everybody bye-bye you
