Japanese react to “What my trip to Japan was like “(Jaiden Animations)

hey guys this is from japan what's those videos my name is sigma and i'm living in sendai city in prefecture in japan and today what we want to do is to react to this video and also i thought it was great to bring my japanese friend to react to it together so please introduce yourself hey guys my name is jun i used to live around tokyo so i'm really excited to watch this video yeah he's a friend of mine and i think it's gonna be interesting so that please stay tuned and also before we get into it please make sure that you subscribe to our channel just help us a lot without following you let's 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 we've all had a family vacation and all of a sudden we have a week to be squished together in a foreign country so how'd this one go day one we arrived at the tokyo airport after a nice and easy 11-hour flight and got off the plane like wow i can't believe we 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 we walked around the air oh yeah two hours it's tokyo station right okay i it it's totally understandable because i also got lost many times i do right you do you're living in like near the tokyo station actually yeah of course i do you must be used to it trying to figure out 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 my mom 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 stand with no method of communication because we didn't have wi-fi yet after figuring that out and getting 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 type screen server what is this perhaps the people who use the metro daily or even just know how to figure out this book because that's like a whole bill gates secret code and so i totally get it do you yeah have you ever been lost i couldn't more agree yeah because uh every time because i'm living in sendai which is bit far from tokyo but every time i go to tokyo every time actually i get lost yeah you do yeah i do too you're living in crosstalk yourself 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 please uh because what she said in japanese was that get out of here if of course i don't speak english do you think that she really said it no we don't know but i hope she didn't say it yeah it's definitely rude but the one thing that i would like you to remember is that japan most japanese people are pretty welcome the you know tourists so yeah right a good 90 of the time we were lost and not knowing where to go 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 yeah unfortunately i understand he would just try to say it all again but so one thing that i want to say is that although we don't really speak english we have many people who try to speak english and if we try to help the people who don't speak japanese so you know you don't need to worry about it too much always happy to help yeah we're always happy to help it's not just us but a lot of the people yeah no worry 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 we stopped by the cafe for breakfast 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 surprise egg topped with the first time the first what do you think what what what is it i have no clue i have no idea too no i have no idea either what is it surprise deck okay um i i don't know i don't know what it says in japanese actually simon fabric 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 looked like the beat movies i love you hachiko went to a hedgehog cafe go out on the wrong train mega dornaki spend 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 triangle 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 thunderous [Music] another one of the stops on the bus tour was this temple called him and there's a whole backstory to this place where some people can explain it so kyomizura is one of the most beautiful um shrines in japan yeah it's definitely one of my favorite places in japan i 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 didn't you know that that's literally it no not joking is it rare yeah what it's famous it it's people believe 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 yeah it's pretty good ratio hey my my wish didn't come true well i guess i jump again i don't want you to 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 light and if you drink from one of them it's believed that you'd be granted that particular category in life are you only going i tried it actually 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 after that we saw the thousand red gates you're allowed to watch yeah but apparently it takes like three hours where is it um yeah here you go yeah it's very nice place isn't it beautiful right yeah threw them all and we didn't have 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 i already want to go there incredible that place was i would recommend it to anyone who has an appreciation for ghibli or animation or art or anything why didn't i try it yeah 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 kid's play area because i thought it was adorable and 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 but my skills aren't anywhere near coordinated so when i tried to put the wasabi bowl back i ended up clogging oh that's sad ruining a section of the sushi harmony and just being really obnoxious and it felt really bad the next day we almost got on the wrong train the wisdom juice is kicking in [Laughter] 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 it'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 baby 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 yeah yeah yeah but the order around have you ever tried that i ha not like that but i have certainly no i've never even ever yeah so i have uh i can't play it like them because they're too good daddy 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 here they look asian but they're white as crackers oh we got a good kick out of it so you know what go konichiwa yourself for the last night we went to this robot show and let me tell you this place was insane so the main attractions of the place are these giant flashy robots and stuff i've ever gotta talk about these drinks and light bulbs they were selling we needed them crazy with all their blinking colors and such it was like a little rave in a cup i kind of want to try it who comes up with this stuff benjamin franklin yeah it's better i'll tell you that you got to choose from like more drink choices but most of them are alcohol so i got this peach juice instead i believe wanna try pizzas japan was 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 jump on 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 yeah see you in a few weeks with that hey thanks for watching that was fun and most of it was not great wasn't it very accurate that's cool like super accurate on youtube thank you for watching our video did you enjoy the video if you have
