I Stayed at Japan's Hidden Mountain Temple ⛩️ Winter Road Trip 

Isn't calling them mental and maniac racist? Or is it normal in UK to call your friends that

Kamalakannan A R it may be a bit offensive if you're a snowflake who takes everything personal.. But it's definitely not racist :-)

Ryotaro is Chris' more serious sidekick while Natsuki is the casual laid back joker sidekick.

I'm still not sure if he's insane or a comedic genius. Frankly, same with Natsuke and Pete. All I know is, they complete me.

I agree, Ryotaro is a super classy guy. I like watching videos with him in them.

Hungrier! haha this made me laugh!

"...hungrier." AND cheekier

Snarkier maybe ?

Natsuki takes him to the weird alley ways and bars.

We should all be soo lucky to have friends like that in our lives. Especially if you are living abroad in a country like Japan.

@@Madhattersinjeans and if their legs get tired, they always have the power of friendship.

@@CaptainWumbo fairy tail vibes

Deer bear boar

same. That's why I came back to this video to check the date lol

Same.

Me too mate. I was having such a shit day and this video not only turned it around, but really left me with some profound thoughts about my life.

Exactly, same

Dude, hes from the uk.

@@jpnrndr7983 he knows, the comment was relative

Ahhh holy cow it’s weathering out!

In the case of the UK, it’s because it wasn’t scheduled and doesn’t have the right paperwork to get into the country. How dare it?!

Hi Roly! I hope your move was good :)

E3v Official everything has to end eventually

Daviddog Das it So everything ending also has to end eventually?

@@AlphaQHard Yes, but that´s advanced stuff.

Clapping loudly.

Elon Pate Google it.

Hello!

BUT WAS IT Nutella harvested on the night of a full moon?

Abroad in Japan damn that be bloody epic

This comment though. I'll save that argument for future use.

You are my kind of person xD

He's becoming more Japanese every day. It must be Ryotaro's fault, as he seems to be becoming more British every day...

They're becoming the best of both worlds.

What about him using the imperial measurement system while gauging Risottero's(Butchered his name probably lol) height?

justicetexeira Ryotaro

zimThuet 1) feet and inches for height 2) G, KG, tonnes for weight of items 3) Stone/pound for weight of people. 4) Miles for distance. I know most conversions for life also but is that weird?

Do you know the name of the background song my friend?

Nope

You guys forget that bears sleep through winter.

You also seem to have forgotten that the guide said that there will be bears out there lol

Now guess why he blows the horn and has a little bell while doing those tours :D

dinner bell for the bears obviously :p

Yeah, him saying that there are bears in that forest will definitely make them magically not hibernate...

lothissen 😂😂😂

Risottoro*

This! Lol.

Desperate for rice

@@Oliwolf78 No, because I think it is a wordplay on Totoro.

Abroad in Japan Maybe Risotto 😂

the nicest man to have survived over 500 years

Natsuki's #1 Fan

Abroad in Japan Yoyo, Tata, Ryoro, Baldie, Accent Thief, Hot dogs(based on what he looks like, that's how I assume he smells like).

山里ジュラルミン You can do it!

Itz_Pascal110 Thank you! I study!

山里ジュラルミン Good luck! :-)

Itz_Pascal110 I learned that wonderful people like you are all over the world. Thank you

山里ジュラルミン You're welcome!

TWICE THE PUZZLE

As far as I know the purpose of double glazing is to trap some air or vacuum to act as an insulator. The glass is to let light through.

could be worse, shoji barn doors. they come in quarters

@@AbroadinJapan Chris, what is the name of the music you used in the beginning of the video? Really want to know

I like your style, and this might be my favorite video of his as well.

Heck, I live somewhere where it snows for half the year, so I get sick of the snow really quickly, and I thoroughly enjoyed the winter landscape in this video.

Lol ryotsuki = riot-suki. Someone likes riots.

Xaine's World That actually sounds legit 😂

Agree... I'm an absolute fool for woods and snow but days like this are few and far between in Nova Scotia.

At this point it's become an evening routine for me to watch one his videos while slowly eating dinner. I dread the day I run out of things to watch.

Me too, I'm addicted to watching his videos :)

Do you know the name of the song my friend? Can't find it 😭

TheFeebleSheep glad I wasn't the only one. It's absolutely beautiful there and given the option would definitely go in the winter.

One of those years I will definite come here

And when his guide was talking about his change of career and the change of his life I started tearing up

It's easy to forget about 'being in the moment' when all of your 'moments' are spent working. Working on yourself, your children, your finances, your work, etc. If I wasn't a Florida boy and could, at least, stand the cold I'd be there in a Japanese heartbeat.

I'm not British. But can testify that is a very accurate description of Japanese winter indoor temperatures. They're very into convenience otherwise, but I don't think they comprehend "indoor warmth" as a concept.

Truth be told, you can find that anywhere where they have mountains. The Alps are quite spectacular in winter, too.

I heard "fuck-cold" , anyways it seriously needs to be a new unit of temperature.

Plot twist: that man is russian

In Russia, man eat bear.

In a very ironic turn, the bear speaks.

They were in the same video once, but not at the same time. I think one of them was the cameraman while the other was in the video.

yo let's hang out in the mountains some time

+Liam night lol

I think of this frequently, and often spend my weekends looking up how to do this. How to survive, grow food, build shelters, etc., and you should check out the Primitive Technology channel. Take a look at the Shojin Ryori cooking style, it is almost entirely vegan (with the exception of a few modern dishes as milk and eggs just weren't available to the Japanese Buddhists). Also you may be happy to know that shojin ryori doesn't use onions or garlic due to their strong flavor, which would go against the philosophy of balance by over-powering other ingredients. I have one cookbook but I hope to expand my collection. Also, vegan as well.

+FrostFire Man, I totally agree.

Couldn’t agree more except for the onions part, love them💚

vs Finnish is weirdly similar to Japanese huh. My mummo always pretends to be speaking Japanese

I find Finnish or Estonian also very phonetically similar to Japanese.

Wow didn't notice that :D

oscar garcia Risottoro*

Yeah there's loads this month! Another one this week as well with Natsuki.

oh my god

I'll be looking forward to it! :D

It's interesting we Japanese too have a similar phrase that Chinmoku Wa Kinnari or 沈黙は金なり, meaning silence is gold.

Hey, in Poland we have a saying: "Talk is silver and silence is gold." So that is very similar.

We have that saying in Romanian too. "Tăcerea e de aur" - silence is made of gold.

My body double

Well, that explains everything!

Maple syrup guy?

??

Hmm seems I must have deleted my previous comment by accident but that’s me :) dewasanzan.com has more information on this place :)

I imagine Ryotaro paying only half of what was agreed while saying "You should've made the horns louder dude."

Bushido in Japanese is the way of the samurai so they’re basically mountain samurai :P

Kanji or Chinese characters are beautiful. Japan should keep them
