Japanese guy reacts to “What my trip to Japan was like” by Jaiden Animations

surprise egg first time the first time in fact hello guys i'm george so today i'm gonna react to a video called what my trip to japan was like by jading animations yeah so this video is gonna be you know just a japanese guy reacting to a person who went to japan for the first time any questions actually it's been a while since i last reacted to other youtubers video recently i've just roasted people who got you know interesting kinds of tools and interesting kinds of t-shirts right but this time to change my mood i'm gonna just enjoy watching this video and react to it so let's enjoy watching together let's go alright so three two one go in october i went on the first vacation i've been on with my family in years my dad worked super hard all the time so normally it would be either my brother mom and me or just me and my mom and even those vacations became pretty sparse it's been over 10 years since you had a family vacation wow 10 years i mean if you were rabbit you would die of old age yeah sorry let's go back all of a sudden we have a week to be squished together in a foreign country so how'd this one go [Music] day one we arrived at the tokyo airport after a nice and easy 11-hour flight he got off the plane like wow i can't believe you finally made it we've been planning and looking forward to this trip for almost a year and it's finally happening how do we get out of here walk around the airport for two hours trying two hours what we had to do which train we had to get we lost dad for like half an hour in the sea of asians i'd already expected the worst and thought he was dead but no worries turns out he wasn't taken out by the japanese mafia i had to get train tickets and he had to take care of the luggage so he split up and planned to meet at a ticket counter but little did we know there were two of them on opposite ends of the floor and as the stereotype goes they looked exactly the same so my parents were just grumbling and waiting for each other to show up at the opposite ticket stand with no method of communication because we didn't have wi-fi yet after figuring that out and getting to the tokyo there is free wi-fi and airport though yeah it should be there but unfortunately she couldn't find it and if you get lost in the airport easily then you'll absolutely get lost in shinjuku station do you know shinjuku station shinjuku station is the most complicated station in the world yeah even japanese people get lost easily shinjuku station is a maze to the tokyo station we had to use the subway to get to our hotel none of us grew up in the city and using the subway was new to us so we had to look at the train station map to see what to do and is this the windows 98 pipe screen saver what is this props to people who use the metro daily or even just know how to figure that stuff out because that's like a whole bill gates secret code the consequence of making a mistake is paying to be plopped in an area you never wanted to be at in the first place we didn't even know how to start reading the map so my dad resorted to the only logical option do you speak english do you speak english konichiwa nice uh please uh help us stop so okay so that was rude that was totally rude but what she said was just i don't speak english so used to be foreign or something like that but you know the funny thing was just you know jayden's dad was just nodding yeah that was funny part um but actually she speaks japanese very well though is she half japanese or something i don't know and when it comes to the japanese dream up yeah it's definitely confusing i mean most of the signs are written in english it's still complicated more than my life so my dad would keep walking up to random japanese people and trying to communicate with them in english even though we were in a country that doesn't speak english and when they obviously wouldn't understand he would just try to say it all again but slower like that was gonna make a difference but we found a guy named paul who helped us out thank you paul konichiwa japan is super different from the states i didn't really know what to expect but my mom and i were super hyped after experiencing and learning about the culture dad and jax not so much but they like the food so here's what happened first morning woke up early to do a tokyo bus tour this time after our best friend paul taught us the ropes we were experts at navigating the subway we got on the wrong train cafe for breakfast and it was at that point where i realized i wasn't going to be able to use the image translation app i downloaded to try and make communication easier while we were there it would have been super awesome to just hover the camera over the japanese symbols and have the phone immediately be like hey this is what this says but it wasn't working the way i thought it would i don't speak japanese but i'm pretty sure they weren't selling a surprised egg the first time the first time in fact this wife i don't think that's a thing who married an egg and why is she so surprised the tour was fun we went to a forest with some shrines saw some sumo wrestlers went up the tokyo tower pretty cool asian stuff second day we walked on japan's big famous crosswalk that looks like the bee movies traffic system for the dog that waited nine years for his dead owner to return from the train station i love you hachiko went to a hedgehog cafe go out on the wrong train we spent way too much money at the pokemon center one nothing had a big arcade and collapsed into bed i should probably slow things down a bit so you can really take in day whatever wrong train rice triangles tiny banana snack my brother said it tasted weird walking tour oh god my legs hurt more noodles went to sleep we had another bus tour around kyoto and one of the stops was this thousand golden statues temple that was really cool and we learned about a bunch of gods one of which i a pokemon master already recognized since it was the inspiration behind thundurus [Music] stop so i mean wow i thought something happened to my mug i mean okay so she has a good sense of humor but she has no sense of music another one of the stops on the bus tour was this temple called kiyomizu and there's a whole backstory to this place where some people would do this thing called taking the plunge which was seen as a bold and desperate extreme wish-making act so it's simple what you do is jump off the 43-foot temple balcony and not die that's literally it i'm not joking in the edo period people believe that if they put their lives in the hands of canon the god of mercy you'd be granted a wish given you don't die because he doesn't give wishes to corpses during that time 200 people jumped and 85 of them survived which i'd say is actually a pretty good ratio one woman apparently even jumped twice hey my my wish didn't come true well i guess i jump again i don't let you do that anymore which i think is fair i guess anyway that wasn't even where i was going with that place there's this little shrine area at the foot of the temple with three waterfalls each representing either longer life wisdom or love and if you drink from one of them it's believed that you'd be granted that particular category in life but you only get one drink thirsty hoe so i go up there with my long cup on a stick you get and was watching what everyone else was doing they would get the water in the cup wash one hand at a time then pour some water into one hand to drink from and let the rest drip into the pool below anyway cutting to the chase basically you're in the presence of some pretty intense wisdom right now also there wasn't any place to dry your hands afterwards so i got wisdom water all over my pants that has me as well a thousand red gates you're allowed to walk under them but apparently it takes like three hours to get through them all and we just had that time so we walked under like 10 and called it a day after waking up with some french toast that was lightly dusted with a pound of sugar my mom and i went to the studio ghibli museum i can't express how interesting well i didn't know that actually it's called ghibli in english so in japanese we say djibouti but she said i can't express how incredible that place was i would recommend it to anyone who has an appreciation for ghibli or animation or art or anything i'd show you how mesmerizing it is in there but there's no filming or photos allowed inside so no spoilers here i'm a child of the law but i did snag this picture of the kids play area because i thought it was adorable sometimes you just gotta break the rules when it's important okay we went to a conveyor belt sushi place and mom had never been to one before so she got overwhelmed and just immediately grabbed like five random things i've been to one once before but my skills aren't anywhere near coordinated so when i tried to put the wasabi bowl back i ended up flogging a bunch of plates and ruining a section of the sushi harmony just being really obnoxious and i felt really bad the next day we almost got on the wrong train the wisdom juice is kicking in we went to this famous sega arcade with eight floors that was immensely intimidating you know how you go to an arcade and there's always some asian kid who's an absolute god at a game there's a little crowd watching because it's so mesmerizing and we're all pathetic this is their hive this is the enlightenment mountain they climb for 80 years and consume nothing but tears of tigers car racing combat games even the children were getting spit out the womb playing like monks look at this guy i don't know what game this is or the objective here but the aura around him is screaming live here and never come back unworthy rat we were also introduced to this dance game i've never seen before called dance rush stardom it's like ddr but with less arrows and a hundred percent more late 90s melbourne shuffling my brother and i tried to play it and it felt like the whole country was like oh god why are they they look asian but they're white as crackers kick out of it so you know what don't don't eat you all yourself then we left on the wrong time for the last night we went to this robot show and let me tell you this place is insane so the main attractions of the place are these giant flashy robots and stuff but i gotta talk about these drinks and light bulbs they were selling they were crazy with all their blinking colors and such it was like a little rave in a cup like dude who comes up with this stuff benjamin franklin wishes he did i'll tell you that you got to choose from like four drink choices but most of them were alcohol so i got this peach juice instead i'm legally allowed to drink now but i'm not the biggest fan and who knows how outrageous the drink would have looked if i was a bit tipsy anyway definitely one of the most insane things i saw for sure top of the list of the entire show nothing compares to the little japan was so much fun and okay um i lost her voice because of the noisy music there but yeah so when it comes to this rubber restaurant um this is a totally you know terrorist thing so yeah i've never been there and just so you know in japan you can drink alcohol at the age of 20. so not like 18 19 16. so when you come to japan please be careful and i mean yeah you can take a picture at ghibli museum but you can't drink alcohol if you're not training don't break the rules so much fun and it's become one of my favorite memories with my family but the thing is when i started this script i wanted to briefly mention what we did so i could talk about how much trouble i had getting back home because that was a whole situation of classic jaden i thought you would enjoy but here i am on page four of the script and i haven't been able to tell them anything i don't like breaking stories into different parts but we're not animating a 20 minute video i'd rather put my hands in the life of canon twice so yeah see you in a few weeks with that hey thanks for watching so a bunch has happened since the last video youtube rewind that was good yeah i mean she made such a great video and i admire her hard work you know when you think about how much time she spent for making this animation it's sort of hard and tough and personally i love her voice which is very soothing and also you know this video is so entertaining so i enjoyed it very much anyway my favorite part in this video was surprise egg alright guys thank you so much for watching this video and i'll see you in the next video have a good day bye
