hey guys I am travelling so this is a travel video there's not gonna be a whole lot of Technology so just wanted to point that out right up front we're now in Japan and it was actually a little bit challenging to get here we left on a Friday morning first issue was my fault I completely missed the time I thought we were leaving it one where you're actually leaving more at noon then we had to drive to the airport we were already a hour later than we intended to be and we got there and lot C at LAX was full that's crazy and never happens so we I had to go over to the parking spot parking spot was full except for the valet so we ended up parking at the valet which is like 25 bucks a day so that kind of sucked then we got our boarding passes my seat was reserved but my wife's for some reason was not even though I had done it on the website so I took up to the counter II get her seat assigned and then they gave us two different seats but then I asked if they could see this next to each other and ended up putting us in an exit row and that was actually kind of nice because we had lots of legroom for the rest of the flight after we arrived to Tokyo at Narita Airport we went and got our JR passes because we had pre bought those back in the States those are good for the chair rails that go all over the country and then we're able to use that to get on the Narita Express and the Narita Express goes into actual Tokyo we actually went past Tokyo to Shinagawa and then in Shinagawa got on the Shinkansen which is the bullet train which is really cool experience it stuff we got on the wrong one fortunately we were just able to go up one stop and then we got off and waited one more train and then got back on the trains here in Japan are incredibly like on-time and efficient and they're just that you can set your watch by the schedule so after that we finally got to kyoto about 10 o'clock at night grabbed a taxi and went up to yawn where we're actually staying in that neighborhood went and got some ramen real quick and then we just knocked out and today is our first full day of actually turning around kyoto so we started off at the shown in which is collection of soaring buildings in spacious courtship courtyards it's a Buddhist temple basically it was very beautiful they had massive shrines there actually done some construction there right now so we couldn't see the main temple itself because there's a bunch of steel frame work going up in a big crane and stuff like that but just when you enter you see the sanma on temple gate which is the largest temple gate in Japan that was very large and impressive and for our time in Kyoto we're planning on just doing some cultural experiences we like going and visiting shrines that kind of thing and then we're gonna move on from here to Osaka hopefully get lots of really good food and then we're gonna end in Tokyo and if you're wondering where we are now it's called the Shorin in you can kind of see it back there behind me it's a smaller temple and there's some really cool gardens on the ground so we've been wandering around here I really appreciate a lot of the carpentry like all the woodwork and stuff that's done here in Japan I feel like they are very meticulous about it very precise and it's always very like beautiful and pleasing to the eye so we're going to walk back down the hill and move on to our next destination this guy just did a flyby on me like this guy's really whoa no afraid it'll be caon that guy this is the path I have to I have to walk down the path there but like he died mom meets like three times like after I turned off the camera that second ago I'm a little worried but I'm gonna make a run for it here and try to get past this this Raven or crow or whatever it is following me is he okay bye thank you for guarding that tree I think he's guarding that tree it's a very important big tree we're taking a break and eating ice cream I got chocolate and vanilla that's Jane and Diana got green tea for now it ginkakuji temple which is a Zen temple and a UNESCO World Heritage Site and there's a really cool sand sculptures I think do they make the size of this so smooth it's just a pile of sand like it should turn into a volcano or something this this is called agin shed on a sands layout sorry if I'm mispronouncing aunty we're currently walking down the Philosopher's path just I just don't know what to think you shouldn't walk the Philosopher's path every day but it's okay every now and then you guys be very careful and walking the Philosopher's path from visiting temples over it to eating penguins I got some crispy chicken here Jim we had to get more views it cuz it's really good look how thin and light like the wrapper is it's just it's so thin and light first spot to eat lunch in here we guy with two hours of it look at my wife they're dressing the camera directly I'm so proud there's a river it is a Magic Hour in Kyoto the evenings and we're gonna wander the streets a little bit see if we can plant some our places to eat and enjoy guess the nightlife I don't know what to call this so the district that we're in right now there are geishas actual real-life geishas doing geisha things and this sign is letting you know don't touch them you're not allowed to touch the geishas the man could lose his hand for less or for touching the Geisha I don't know guess you're not supposed to take selfies with them you're not supposed to litter on them or drop ice cubes on them don't offer them cheeseburgers and definitely don't smoke in front of them very good advice David I've cones fashion geishas own or other geishas that can't find them this is chocolate gateau cake which it means it's a chocolate cat I think they got vanilla ice cream large orange torii gate we're not Fushimi Inari Taisha as a Shinto shrine it's very big and orange there's big orange torii gates everywhere the seemingly endless arcades of Vermillion torii shrine torii gates spread across a thickly wooded mountain this vast shrine complex is a world unto its goal it is quite simply Burmese impressive and memorable sights in all of you the entire complex consisting of five shrines sprawls across the wooded slopes of Inari see a pathway wanders for kilometres up the mountainside as life dozens of atmospheric subsurface fushimi inari is dedicated to the gods of rice and sake by the hottub family in the eighth century as the rolls agriculture diminished DD's were enrolled to ensure prosperity in business nowadays a shrine is one of Japan's most popular in as a head shrine for some 40,000 Inari's to transcribe the length and breadth of the country as you explore the shrine and we will team across hundreds of stones boxes the Fox is considered the messenger of Inari the god of cereals and the stone Fox's - are often referred to as in re the key often seen in the Fox mouth is for the rice granary on an incidental note the Japanese traditionally see the Fox as a secret somewhat mysterious figure capable of possessing humans the fever point of entry is under the fingernails the walk round the upper precincts of the shrine is apartment day hike it also makes for a very eerie stroll and late afternoon early even a when the various graveyards and miniature shrines alone take on a mysterious air it's best to go with a friend at this time so we're gonna get possessed by a fox and have some sake and some cereal so I had known not much at all the Shintoism but the one thing that you can't watch if you do come here especially on a crowded day like today is everyone had something to get pictures by themselves with no one in the background you just have to stick wait for the right time but the crowds to go by or if you if you crop the people like like those people behind me right now look you can't see him anymore my head's in the way good thinking little mini torii gates so techie then these foxes over here have bibs on they're probably getting ready for dinner you had to go up the steps go up higher get some altitude do some exercise that not everyone's willing to do then you can find the areas where oh there's still people it's okay though there are a lot of steps but it's supposed to be a nice view at the top oh sorry I can hide I've gotten someone's picture I know if you're planning on doing this it's a it's a real nice workout but make sure you've got that shape a little bit I guess Dan is doing good if you make it to the top you get ice cream afterwards technically this isn't the highest spot but this is the spot with the best view there's kudo behind us and on the other side of us is Disneyland just kidding we just mean gets crowded okay I think it's time for lunch crispy it is all the mix and crannies this is the kiyomizu-dera which is a buddhist temple that's being restored so there's not much to see there although there's a very beautiful view up to the city of Tokyo there did I say Tokyo this is Kyoto oh my dog arrived we found some pretty flowers movies how about that one in purple oh so these are blue well we just left to Kyoto and now we're on the Shinkansen bullet train to Osaka also we're very tired No we made it to a Sukkah which is really good because we were able to shower and now we don't feel like dying anymore they also upgraded our room and we got a nice view but for now we're gonna go eat food cuz that's what you're supposed to do in Osaka last we have discovered sushi I'm so excited I'm really upset right now okay I'm gonna let the camera down any fat tuna they're like super fat tuna that grade two finally the fatties look fat or done eating sushi it was really really good in case you guys wonder if Rio went it's called suck a sushi Tamiya machi and it's in the dotonbori district so I'm Google Maps to find on TripAdvisor is really good it was only about like a little over fifty bucks for both of us to eat all that sushi a night of beer we're gonna go shopping now and then we're gonna get dessert that must be some bomb-ass ramen the line goes all the way down there we're gonna go get breakfast first up is at a place called Mika Sudoku and I've already impressed this by putting a little kitty in my latte not a kitty these are ricotta pancakes and they're insanely fluffy mine's not quite as fluffiest a honestly it's still very pretty in the hat's apples this looks red because I'm under an umbrella so Mickey said Nick coke cafe it was very good a little on the expensive size about 32 bucks for that meal which is a couple copies and two plates of pancakes but amazing pancakes I can't forget to pay 30 bucks for pancakes they better be damn good and they were only like an hour since they had breakfast but now we're getting ramen each year on this place to have a massive massive lion outside last night so we've come a little bit early to make sure we can get in get to serve in a little booth here you want it strong medium or light I'm gonna go medium richness I will do rich garlic my beer has arrived your extra noodles that give to in the middle of eating a soup when you're ready for your refill you can click this little Sun sensor on this and then they know to bring you your extra notes vanna's already getting extra noodles I still barely touch my ramen place we just do that and that is the line now lunch rush is already piling up that's right ladies and gentlemen by popular request we're going into a cat cafe 60 minutes for 1,200 yen it's about 12 bucks an hour hang out with cats what could be better I just pay we're only paying this is the counter will your Grady pay we may be too much food yesterday's today we are trying something new more sightseeing we're taking the subway and now this Shinkansen bullet train / - cmeg castle so himeji castle was built at a cost of 500 production units and has been providing Japan with a boost to culture a couple engineering points as well as a 15% combat bonus to troops in friendly territory since the early 14th century upon arriving at the train station of the meiji you'll actually be able to see the castle all the way down the main street which leads all the way from the train station up to the castle so you could take the walk it's maybe 10 or 15 minutes and then once you get here it's about a thousand yen to take the tour walk around inside and that's about $10 u.s. i thought was a pretty cool experience because the interiors built mostly of wood it's made out of wood rock plaster it's painted white on the outside it's got gray roof tiles everywhere and it's just beautiful my wife was saying there's really no bad angle to take a picture or video of this castle from so you'll definitely be happy if you come and take a look you do have to take your shoes off to take the tour walk around inside there are some very steep staircases and slippery socks on your feet so watch your head there's also some low-rises that you got to deal with but you can get yourself all the way up to the top and you can see some pretty cool things like the design that they've made so they can protect the castle from attackers from any different angle racks where they would store weapons so they could have easy access to them and of course some helpful plaques along the way so you can sort of read out some of the history for instance this has been restored multiple times since it was originally built out of like one of the main pillars was built out of one massive tree that started to rot at the bottom so they had to fix set up last time that they fixed it up was about fifty years ago and I believe that is a important historical period in Japan known as the hamaji restoration yes I just made a historical Japanese pun so a major castle is built up on a hill which makes sense because it's a defensive position it was originally a fort and also it means if you hike up all the way to the top you're gonna get an amazing view during in sixty degree view of the city if you're willing to look through some wires that they have up there for people's protection and then if you're willing to pay 40 yen more on top of your ticket you can come here see these lovely gardens which are great next to it not much of a view of the castle up above but there are some big old fish and pretty flowers and there's also a praying mantis that attacks me okay we are now headed away from Osaka so Thank You Osaka we're very full and the food is delicious we're now headed to Tokyo on the Shinkansen and we got like a day and a half left but some cool stuff planned in Tokyo we're heading down this magical again Street so her first major that's the nation in Tokyo at least just outside it took you I think you guys like breeze but what is this place so confused ready this is the staging area this is where the actual show is gonna happen right now we're in the pre-show sell the audience a bunch of stuff mode like popcorn or more drinks or whatever that girls and the robot restaurant experience last night was pretty intense pretty crazy so we thought today we'd settle things down a little bit and kind of go carts probably safe this is Mari car it's been recommended to us by just about everyone who we've tweeted about this trip so far there are actual go-karts we're actually driving them and if you want to do this you're definitely gonna need an international driver's license which actually isn't too hard to get you just got to go to triple-a and have a valid driver's license triple-a is the only place that they will accept the international driver's license from so we're that mine we forget exactly how much it cost the Triple A but it's like 20 bucks for the service speed to do that and then you also need to bring them like a picture like you'd have in a passports and then you get your international driver's license any costumes to choose from Avantika princess crown I can't go in a camera while we're driving so you possibly the like in the GoPro alright guys this is it I am back at Narita I'm actually leaving here to go to Taipei to cover Computex my wife is gonna be leaving in a few hours to go back home to LA and I create the dog so we're probably pretty anxious to see us on behalf of myself and my wife though to everyone who we met here in Japan I already got though gozaimashita we had a wonderful time I'm sorry if I've been trying to pronounce that properly this entire time we're here but there's an amazing trip if you guys have a chance to come to Japan I really recommend it because it's an amazing country amazing food amazing people so much history and all kinds of other stuff to thank you guys for watching this video hit the thumbs up button if you enjoyed it I will be back soon with more regular coverage I'm assuming the Computex stuff is finished I hoped that all went smooth but that's all for this one guys thanks again we'll see you next time
