15 TIPS FOR TRAVEL IN JAPAN 

I'm expecting a full video report on the bike tour!

I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE IF THIS VIDEO DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. Regardless, please like the video if you want more incomprehensible high definition video.

Natsuki "Go Fu*k yourself" cloud ... should be in every video. You have a great sense of humor, Chris.

are there Pokemons in Japan and whats the first one you've ever captured ?

"You look like Johnny Depp fused with Frankie Muniz" ... You actually kinda do. I can't unsee it now.

What is Godzilla like? How many buildings have you seen him take out? What is his weakness? Mothra.

"Come to Japan now when the yen is utterly worthless" Best tip ever!! 😂😂😂 I've been watching your videos since 2016 and I've lost count how many times I've watched each one! You have a hilarious sense of humor and very good filmmaking and story telling skills! Finally planning a trip to Japan next year and so excited to do some of the things I've seen in your videos! ♥️

STOP BODY SHAMING CHRIS. He's beautiful and worthy of all the snacks and love, damnit!

I want to hear that romantic encounter story or a vid on romance in general in Japan would be interesting.

This guy is just to fucking cool :D

Drove around Hokkaido listening to 80s songs on my Spotify. The best. Big in Japan!

I just found your videos this morning and I've been watching them non-stop! Your videos are hilarious yet informative. Sometimes living in Japan can be really stressful. Thanks for reminding me of how awesome it is. Keep the videos coming!

How to defeat final boss of Japan?

Have you ever had a dream that you had your you could you you want you wants them you want them to do you so much you could do anything?

Love your channel, eases my mind about traveling there, and at the same time enjoy your sense of humor

Really enjoying your sense of humor. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Thanks for answering my question, Chris! 😁

Yes!! hiroshima is my hometown :) and its very historic too x

Your channel is among my favorite channels in all of RU-vid. Your videos make my day!

By far the best channel to create videos that revolve around comments. Always think back at these and laugh

What problems have you encountered by being a foreigner in Japan?

Hello Mr. Broad, Thanks for all of your videos, I really enjoy your sarcastic, somewhat dry British humor. I'm planning to study in Japan for a year, and I was wondering how good the internet is? Thanks again, and keep up the good work mate.

Im moving to Japan with my wife and daughter and been binge watching some of your videos. Really enjoy the information.

oh man ... I love these videos to death! Especially your sarcastic jokes, reaction to comments and q&d. Also I love that you are full of passion when you describing sth, your answer are clear and straight and often kind. Take care!

Always wanted to say this mate... but you have such great production value and a great sense of wit and presentation. Good luck with finding that dream job (even though to alot of people you're living it). Ganbatte! #keepontravelling

I'm going to Japan pretty soon so I'm binge watching your videos. Can't wait! It's gonna be like a magic

I enjoyed your sincerity throughout this video.

Wow! Amazing! I absolutely recomend this information as a Japanese person who loves to travel inside and outside of Japan enjoying genuine local experiences and beautiful nature sceneries!

You talked about having a playlist with 80's music when driving along the Japanese countryside. Would you be so awesome as to sharing it so we won't have to spend hours creating our own?

You're living my dream.

hi! i’m new to your videos but i have already watched a whole bunch of them in preparation to my upcoming trip to japan, i really appreciate everything you’ve done to inform us on japan and i’m doing my best to learn more, just a thank you on my behalf!

your enthusiasm for Osaka made me so happy, I'm heading there for two weeks in August! (plus Kyoto of course)

honestly, I can watch any of these videos over and over again. some of my favorite content on RU-vid. You should do a gaming cafe video with some of your pals.

Now I can't unsee the Jhonny Depp/Frankie Muniz fusion!!!! ;p

love this video! it was funny, informative, and just entertaining with the way you started out to your demeanor

Me and my husband will go Japan in April. This video is very very helpful as it's our first time trip to Japan and we have no idea where to start really!

What are job hours like in Japan, compared to the US or the UK?

2:45 [Easily accessible my monorail] Dude! gratz on owning your own monorail. You taking Japan by storm. Bully for you!

Another great and useful video for my collection of videos on what to do and see in Japan when I finally get myself to the Land of the Rising Sun.

Been here about a week, planning on staying at least a year. Thanks for the cool videos, just ordered my genki books to help me talk to my new neighbors.

I hope Question #12 was actually the President of Nintendo America.

you have a great sense of humor, way to be a good sport. heres a question; how bad is racism in Japan? jozu de ganbatte ne

Thanks so much for these videos. It's an excellent way to pick up some great tips for my upcoming trip.

Great video, heading to japan in the spring for 2 weeks and always love to hear about places to visit

Great video. At the end you said "questions that are scented". Does it matter which scent? Lilac? Strawberry?

Absolutely made no sense whatsoever, which, to my muddled and rather childlike mind made everything crystal clear! Always enjoy your videos, not only for content but for great editing - I don't always comment though, (which makes no sense to me!! :) )

Visited Golden Gai today finally after watching this video forever ago! Totally worth it, thanks a TON for the recommendation!

This video popped up after having watched you since the channel started. After reading the ‘get out’ chapter last night it was amazing to hear you speak about wanting to write about that experience one day in this video! Absolutely amazing 👏👏

How close is your local Pub and how often do you visit?

Holy crap you rlly do look like johnny depp and frankie muniez fused lol xD

Ah Chris, loving these latest videos! Sincerely looking forward to the next one x

Wow thanks for that walking 12 hr advice and absorbing everything in. I would do that in every travel I'll do. Definitely will do this when i travel to Osaka in 2 weeks.

Have you ever encountered a tentacled monstrosity? And has it probed every orifice of your body yet? That would unmistakebagely be like a magic.

Ahhhh, you went into Death Match at the Golden Gai :D I remember that Yoda, I remember it well :D Nice place though, I don't know if you had the bar tender who has long hair and wears the Wayne's World cap (I can't remember his name but he's a really cool guy :) Quite friendly and I've seen him working there the last two years that I've been. (I assume he owns the place??) Another place I would recommend in the Gai is just opposite Death Match and it's called the Cambiare. It's a small bar themed on the movie Suspiria. I'm friends with one of the bar tenders who works there. It's quite accommodating and friendly for foreigners so it's most definitely worth a look. But yeah, I like the Golden Gai a lot, it's one of my favorite places to frequent when in Tokyo during the night.

I love your high definition flower arrangement

So jazzed that you're doing this- i'm currently dedicating my life to saving up money for a two-month work away stay in tokyo next May and this is the sort of video I need. I can't wait for more!

2:50 Kagura!!

Honestly, I don't really know what you'd do in Hiroshima after about 2 days. There's the Peace Park, and Miyajima... and....? I suppose there are some minor things, but I wouldn't have people go longer than 2 full days. And.. honestly if you only have a week I'd probably skip it altogether, as important as the Peace Park is. It's just... really far out. 1 week: Tokyo 4 days, Kyoto 2 days. Osaka or Nara, 1 day. 2 weeks: Tokyo 6 days, Hiroshima 2 days, Kyoto/Osaka/Nara 5 days. 1 day to relax, or put somewhere else

Very informative and helpful! I'm going to Japan next year so I look forward to watching more of your educational videos 😀😀😀

I absolutely LOVE your videos! You are one of my motivations to learn Japanese! Love the british humor!

This video should be titled : why hollywood never cast Frankie Muniz no more... I'm sorry, that bit crack me up ;D

Just discovered your channel, and as a fellow Brit you keep me in stitches! Cheers! As for a question, how useful is English for everyday living in Japan? I've been told multiple times not to bother learning Japanese because everyone in the country can speak good English. Have I just wasted the last two years of my life learning a pointless language?!

After 3 visits comprising about 7 weeks over 12 years im far from a Japan expert but I have to agree with Osaka being a great city, as is Nagoya. The best experiences we had were just walking the streets and if you see a lot of locals going down a side street, follow them. That is where we found the best things includeing a perfume salesman who loved and knew a lot about NZ near the Ueno station. We also like to go to a destination, like Tokyo Tower and walk back, you will be amazed how much ground you cover and what you find.

0:58 That's amazing! You should have shown that for longer!

Johny Depp fuesed with Frankie Muniz AHAHAHAHA I can't stop seeing that now, haha, thank you to however posted that...

5:17 incredible

+Abroadin Japan 3:43 Drive around the countryside listening to 80's music?? I love you man.

Awesome vids! Miss Japan and great to see and hear more about it. Enjoy living the dream!

I'm in Tohoku and staying for 3 yrs, are there any hidden gems you might recommend? Thanks!

I've just discovered your channel and am really enjoying watching your videos. Love your sense of humour!!!

I am so excited to visit Osaka next week! Thanks for sharing!

Were you aware that one of the questions appeared to be asked by the president of Nintendo America? (Reginald Fils-Aime)

oh shit, Gintama spotted at 2:50 Best anime

Thanks for all your videos. I'm now on my final day after three weeks in Japan. Did Tokyo, Takayama, Kanizawa, Hiroshime, Kyoto and Mount Fuji. Your videos have really got me into the spirit and I've had the best few weeks ever.... And I'm now smuggling a shitload of Pocari Sweat back to London!

Thanks for uploading this, very resourceful video

Alright, so, first of all, your videos are of the very rare kind of entertaining and engrossing content one would expect to (and should) find more often on the World WIDE Web. Secondly, and here comes the question, how would you set up/organise a line of study for a beginner in Japanese? What books (text books, vocabularies, dictionaries and what not) would you say are compulsory for someone whose goal is to understand intermediate to advanced Japanese? Any websites, better if free of anything that involves picking up your wallet? P.S.: I perfectly know you already made a video based on a similar request some years ago, but let's assume I have all the time needed and not just 6 months P.S.S.:is there any book of Japanese where all, or most, of the grammar is displayed and ordered somehow. For example, look up "The New Penguin Russian Course" on the Internet, and glancing at some pdf you will see what I mean. The best thing is it's not "school focused". Thanks and keep being great!

I think I may have cried with laughter during this video Many thanks for the joys Chris Anywho my question for everday life in Japan would be, is it easy/possible to order/buy vegan food there? I'm a very passionate ethical vegan who also likes travelling and I can't wait to go to Tokyo one day, but I'm aware of how much fish/fish oil is used plus there isn't really even a word for 'vegan' over there either so I'm not sure how I'd cope. Thanks!

Love these videos. Looking to visit next year after I graduate here in the states.

Great vid I have picked up some great tips for my upcoming trip to japan!

I like how some of the people who say the things you say are wrong, have probably never even been to Japan or only watch a few anime shows. A message to those people: This man LIVES in Japan, he will know much more than you.

#askabroad I am a giant (6ft 5"/196cm) will i bang my head on every doorway?

hes the only youtuber who actually has helped more than other youtubers who actually just express opinions or stories of themselfs

So much great info in this video, thanks. I have never been to Japan, but now it is on the top of my list for future travels! Thanks for being your insincere self!

#AskAbroad What 'romantic' encounters have you had in Japan? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) What do you spend your weekends doing? How many close friends have you met in Japan, like Natsuki? Can you give us a tour of Natsuki's barbershop/hairdresser's? What inspired you to start RU-vid? Is the name 'AbroadInJapan' a play on A Broad - As in Chris Broad..In Japan? xD I always thought it was for some reason. Are you into video games? 1v1merust If so, what are the types of video games released in Japan like? More specifically, are there any ways in which they differ from western ones? (Obviously not all video games but some, like rapelay... ._.) After being in Japan for so long, do you feel like you belong there now and did you get used to all the people staring because you're foreign or complimenting your Japanese after you said something so basic as 'sumimasen'? Or is it not AS bad as a lot of RU-vidrs in Japanese make it out to be? (Some I have watched get really pissed off by it o.o) How difficult is it for foreigners to get jobs aside from the JET-type teaching programs? How often do you come back to England, despite David Cameron being PM? (Unless you're conservative then this just got awkward) How tall are you and what is the average height of Japanese people? I want to know if they will think I'm Godzilla or something when I visit, can't be dealing with that. Do you plan on doing any more educational videos like how to sort out housing and moving to Japan etc. type videos for others looking to follow your footsteps? Did I ask too many questions? All jokes aside, thank you for making your videos Chris, they keep me entertained on each upload which are very rewatchable for when I go on ABroadInJapan binges xD I love your content!

What is TV like in Japan?

Wonderful videos, mate! Will be really helpful when my parents, siblings, and I visit Osaka for our family reunion. 🙌🏽

Just recently discovered your channel, and I absolutely love it! Keep doing what you're doing.

2:51 is a pic of Kagura

Hey Chris, did your parents ever ask whether or not you were going to get a "real job?"

I am amazed that you J-vloggers all know each other and are so friendly with each other and do stuff together but still manage to have such diversity in your videos. Thanks to all of you. If you meet them again, let the others know. ;)

This video was particularly good! I laughed a lot. I love all of your videos, thank you for making them!

From a dating perspective, how does dating Japanese women compare to dating English women (or Western women)?

Four years later, and I only now realize that that tweet came from Reggie Fils-Amis....

You have a great sense of humour. Luv your videos.

Please don't ever change Chris I don't care what you're talking about you are charismatic funny and all around cool dude keep up the good work brother. Best vloggers in Japan hands down

Reggie Fils-Aimé

Will you be my friend?

Hey man, love the content! Between all my other resources I have been checking out, I can relate to yours the most. I’m headed out there this June with my roommates. If we catch you out there, all your drinks are on us my friend!

Good day Abroadin Japan I am also currently living in Japan. I have been following your channel for about a year now and I have to say you are doing a fine work. Also have to agree with you on how Tohoku is so underrated, since living here for about a year now and travelling through most of the mainland, I have always felt Tohoku gives a sense of calmness and peacefullness other places doesn't offer.
