I'm going to miss the Japan Vlogs. These were very fun & we got to experience Japan without having to go there. Thanks for sharing with us Ken. You must have had a great time there.
That airport seems to be incredible! Here in the US we don't have things like that unless you have a ticket and have gone through security. I really love the part where you can chill and watch the planes taking off and landing on the deck.
That was an amazing trip! Loved every minute of it. But you’ll be back. Kobe, Osaka (Nara and Koyasan) and of course Kyoto are definitely worth visiting too, and also Fukuoka (streetfood) and Nagasaki. And up north Sendai (Tashirojima cat island) and Sapporo. Ok, now I want to go back!
I'm sure, back home taking a walk or going to the cottage is very relaxing. A Tim Horton's Double-Double too. Love Japan but I cherish larger spaces being 6'2". "There is no place like home"
We love your video and channel, Ken! So glad you got to go to Hiroshima. We unfortunately never made it there. What is your favorite place in Japan? :)
I don't get sick often, but just tend to have a few head & throat colds each year. I actually find it funny when I get laryngitis because I start to pretend I'm in a horror movie situation and I can't scream. So nice to be utterly silly at middle age or so...I keep wondering when I'm going to be more mature (or if it's just certain people who get serious and less capable of joy when they get older).
For one thing, Japan is 26 times smaller than Canada. Japan is almost entirely a homogeneous population, unlike most of North America, which is a continent and NOT a country. North America also includes Mexico and a few other smaller countries by the way.
Damn Ken you're going to have to take a vacation after your Holiday! Poor thing. Sick, sore, tired Jeez! I'm glad you got to enjoy Japan and I hope you get to go back and experience it again, but for you! Tysvm for all the work you putinto doing these vlogs and letting us experience Japan with you! It's truly appreciated! TC of yourself now and get well! BTW when your voice cracked and you started laughing! My God that was hilarious! Such a good sport and Guy! Sincerely, Kelly :))
what kind of camera does Ken have? I'm deciding on something like a go pro or a decent camera, but I don't need the top of the top. Anyone seeing this and has suggestions, feel free to leave a drop.
ken i have a few quick questions; 1) roughly how much was that hotel room at the airport? looked nicer and bigger than the others (nevermind you answered this in the next vlog.) 2) how do they know what size jammies to give you at these hotels? do they size you up, or is it just one size fits all? If one size fits all, it must be too small for a westerner, no?
On 7 May 1946, Ibuka was joined by Akio Morita to establish a company called Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo (東京通信工業, Tōkyō Tsūshin Kōgyō) (Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation). The company built Japan's first tape recorder, called the Type-G. In 1958, the company changed its name to "Sony".
You keep saying how expensive it is in Japan and yet the stores and restaurants are filled with Japanese people. Do Japanese people get paid more money than Westerners?
