Shinkansen Adventure to Fukuoka, Japan RIHGA Royal Hotel Breakfast, Fancy Hotel in Hakata Ep.437 

It was nice to be greeted in this video with a 'Good morning, everyone' rather than the usual 'Hey guys', 'You guys'👍 Japan hotel breakfast buffet is always interesting to see~ Thank you, Rion😊

I'm an American, but my dad's side of the family comes from Kumamoto and my mother's from Hiroshima.

Keep on making these videos Rion! I enjoy eating dinner and watching your videos. Keep on Walking! 😉

So enjoying your adventures. I am arriving in Tokyo Friday 10th November. I will be taking so much good knowledge from your vids it will feel comfortable just cruising around with the things you have shown us. Oh yes I am still nervious about the first time using the trains oh well lets gooooo

Breakfast is life! I love to eat breakfast❤. $22 USD seems a lot. It is a buffet so no complaints. Thank you for taking us to see the castle and business hotels. I’ll keep walking with you anywhere you go Rion. Grrraw

I learn so much from your vlogs and your English is improving all the time, thank you

Hiroshima castle was beautiful, and the stone walls around the castle were sugoi. The lobby of your hotel in Hakata was so modern and visually stunning. Your lunch looked meccha oishi. Arigatougozaimasu, Rion, for introducing me to Hiroshima and Fukuoka. I want to visit there one day. I'm looking forward to watching more of your travel adventures. Let's keep walking! 👍🇯🇵

It was nice running into you at Fukuoka Station! It was definitely a delight seeing someone I watch all the time in person and being able to GAOOO with you :D

Nice hotel. Love the library theme. Bring Imodium with you next time you travel. That works really quickly to stop stomach ailment caused by food. Hope you ate mentaiko pasta and Fukuoka style ramen at the street stalls. Looking forward to the next video.👏👍

These videos are great! The view from your hotel looks like Colorado with all the mountains. Thank you for all these videos! 555!

I took the ferry from fukuoka to busan korea You should too!

Basic Hotel had some pretty unique design inside. The teishoku at the end looked so good! Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful luxury to be able to walk around safely any time you like, and with such amazing landscapes! Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for the interesting insight into the meaning of the word ishi, and to the meaning of your family name, Ishida. I always enjoy your Japanese lessons. Kyo no resson arigatougozaimasu! 🇯🇵

Hi Rion, I've been watching your videos for awhile and came back to watch this and get excited for my upcoming trip to Fukuoka, thanks for the real videos and detailed tips for travelling it really helps and sets you apart from other channels! Lets keep walking!

Nice Shinkansen Hiroshima and Fukuoka travel video! "Not a morning person" 🙌😂 Enjoyed Fancy hotel tour and Food looks great too. Tks for the good travel tips and information too 👍

It is really astonishing that you could enjoy the breakfasr feast at the Hiroshima hotel in spite of your stomack ake. The castle is really fine rebuilt obviously very close to the original outside including the impressive stone walls. But inside it is closer to the modern museum dealing with Hiroshima history and Japanese tradition in general. Nice to watch indeed. The surrounding also so peaceful - what a contrast to overcrowded places in Osaka or Kyoto. The mascot, white cat with the castle hat, is really cute and meaningful. So many Shinkansen versions one more attractive than another. The Fukuoka Basic hotel is of the unique architecture, very interesting. The udon meal looks yummy including shrimp version of katsedon, too, obviouslly light enough for your weak stomack. Fukuoka sunset from the large window also beautiful. This trip serial continues in great Rion style. No doubt, the following adventures will be interesting, as well. GAAOO!

広島からの🚄福岡旅ありがとうございました！めっちゃ胃痛が酷そうで辛そうでした😢治ったかな？個人的には大根おろし（汁も）を食べるとよくなります💦市販薬だとガスター10とか太田胃酸とか？広島城🏯毛利元就、、←何した人だろ？😅でも名前は知ってます👍天守閣🏯の外に出て歩いたの怖くなかったかな？慣れた？うどん美味しそうだったけど、海老天🍤卵とじが胃に優しかったかどうか少し疑ってます😂やっぱり1万9千円のホテルはラグジュアリーだと思います😭新しくてステキなホテルですね😊オシャレだし📕眺めいいですね！✨ホテルの部屋の電気の付け方ってたまに難しいですね😂ハイテクな知識もってるとレンタサイクルできて、とても便利ですねめっちゃ羨ましいです😭今後は旅先で腹痛に襲われませんように🙏お大事にしてください

Your travel videos are getting me excited for my trip! I am flying to Fukuoka in two days, and I can't wait to go to Hiroshima too!

Hakata is known for Tonkotsu Ramen. It's a bit heavy, though. I wouldn't eat it on an upset stomach! Fukuoka not being crowded with tourists seems like a plus.

I really enjoyed this video, rion😊. The hotel you stayed in shouldn't have been called the basic hotel because it's so fancy😂😂

Great trip to Japan.

Thanks Rion!!! Always looking forward to your videos ❤

Thanks for your efforts bring more japan information trip. Will visiting Hiroshima and Fukuoka area

It was so cool to explore the beautiful Hiroshima Castle, the grounds, and moats surrounding it. Your meals in Hiroshima and Hakata hotels looks😊 delicious. It was interesting to see the towering bookshelves in Hakata hotel for just photo opt or for gaining some additional knowledge?😊 Let's keep "biking" around the city.

Fun fact😂I always watch your videos before going to japan

I’m always enjoy watching your videos, Can’t wait for next video. Keep going 👏🏻

I love Ur videos❤ and how U Be U🤗... it takes great mental strength and courage to be REAL in this society anyways ✨let's keep walking ✨

Really had so much fun watching your video! Happy that you shared it!

I hope to visit Fukuoka soon. I'm looking forward to more videos from there. Thanks.

love the Japanese lessons😊

Hello Rion! So strange the Sakura shinkansen didnt stop at Hiroshima, i thought ALL shinkansen stopped at Hiroshima LOL ~ Well, technically, Sakura is Sanyo/ Kyushu shinkansen while Nozomi is Tokaido/ Sanyo shinkansen, so there is some difference ~ The blue shinkansen was the 500 series Kodama shinkansen! It used to be the Nozomi shinkansen that ran at world's fastest speed at 300 km/h back in 1997. It's also my fav shinkansen, and the Hello Kitty is the V2 version of this train! :) Love your videos! Say.... No.... GGGAAOOOO!!

Nice video! New areas, I have never been in fukuoka, so this and next videos are very interesting for me!! ❤

really enjoy this, thanks😁☺

Glad to see another travel and hotel vlog! Hope you are feeling better, it's hard to travel with stomach issues! Also, I think you forgot the introduction GAO this video! lol

I've only spent about a day in Fukuoka but definitely want to go back, was pretty nice

Great video! I'm going back to Japan soon and will stop by Kyushu when I'm in Osaka. 19000 Yen for a night is pretty cheap compared to the price I had paid for most of my hotel stays. The sounds you heard while you were staying at the hotel were from a female Ghost! She was peaking on you....hahaha As always, keep up the great work. Let's keep walking!

5:38 This businessman looks very familiar 🤔, provide goods and services that have proven profitable in the market☝️😄👍👏. In fact, the RIHGA Royal Hotel breakfast here is quite good, with local okonomiyaki 😋. I never eat beef🙅🏻‍♀️🥩😁, but I still recommend that if Rion eat raw steak in the future, if a similar situation happens, you should try to eat well-done steaks🤔👍! 10:39 Hiroshima Castle is shot from an amazing angle. 13:58 The mascot of Hiroshima Castle is so cute😱😍😘😄! 14:28 The scene behind is amazing, especially the tree🌳🦦👍! 17:33 🦁~gaOOO~👏! 17:51 as long as Japanese food is concerned, I think all are delicious, regardless of each other😁😋! 23:26 right side 🫱! 25:00 100% 🍊😋! 26:38 🦁~gaOOO~👏! 27:25 The hotel is unique and I am very satisfied with it in every aspect, the room is clean and tidy, and you can enjoy the scenery outside the window 🏨👍! 35:19 wow! meccha oishiii foods 🍤😋👍. Thank you so much for the travel tips provided by Rion💡, Rion has rented countless hotels of various stars before and has helped us to refer to the options we want to rent🤝.

Breakfast at 9pm😂😂

Thank you so much for making these videos, Rion! I always enjoy watching your adventures around Japan😊 Also, sorry to hear about your poor stomach🥲 Maybe you can try some 制酸薬 or some ginger next time?

That’s cat castle!!! So cute

Rion, it was nice meeting you at Miyajima. Japan is such a beautiful place. Unfortunately we didn't got a chance to do a food tour in Hiroshima because of time constraint. But we did enjoyed and loved Japan. Will be back!

Reminds me of like August 6, 1945

i was eating my breakfast( lemon rice ), while watching u eat breakfast HAHAHAH Anyways SAIKO rion san

Love your travels ... especially how to get around. Will be back in Japan 2024, so all of this helps. I am a vegan, so your eating is "fast forward". Thanks for the fun ... eat more vegetables!

If you eat rawer meat and can’t handle it I highly recommend using high amounts of spicy stuff to accompany. It sounds strange but you have a good chance of killing bacteria if you add horseradish or chili , you might wanna try that out

Do they have "Jumping Salad" in Japan aside from sashini and sushi? Jumping Salad in the Northern part of Luzon Island in the Philippines consist of chopped onions and tomatoes, vinegar, fresh seaweed and live small shrimps, so basically they are still alive and jumping while its in your mouth... great meal with beer 😂

thank you for this video. During my summer July holidays in Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka, I should have made time for Hiroshima but... fact was I didn't have much time because the places I was visiting was not even enough time to do so. hahaha... Anyways it is good I should have put some time away for other places instead of traveling back to the same cities for new discoveries (well what do we say, especially it was some 21 years later... of course there are definitely more things to find out for me. Anyways speaking about your tummy ache with raw foods, I do get that sometimes. I thought it would be okay when I was in Japan this summer because Japan has fresher and and treated raw food better/more professionally. At a restaurant I had given advance notice that I do not take beef, so the restaurant did plan everything to my liking however I forgot about having raw foods because well, I was in Japan! Anyways it was no that much because it was a few courses of lunch and mixed of fusion and Japanese style. But after a few hours later while I was shopping, I really had to find and make my way for ladies restroom. Before that, I had bad tummy ache while still in a long tax-refund queue before reaching the cashiers. I was carrying a basket of things and was deciding very hard whether to give up my spot for restroom. You can imagine what "agony" and prayers I had been going through... thankfully all was well. I was able to get to the tax-refund cashier (a German speaking Japanese!) and did my payment and quickly went for a restroom. I carry medication as precaution to take before the day if I am traveling out full day or going to have some unknown or raw foods, that medicine helps to prevent upset tummy, diarrhea or caused by unclean foods or waters. I had forgotten to take one that day. It is called "dhamotil" and is a over the counter drug. You may wish to check out with your pharmacist or doctor if you are able to have it. Sorry for the long comment here. I really enjoy your videos with places and food recommendations. Keep it up Rion and let's all keep on walking !

Thank you for this tour of Fukuoka. Are there any rural towns there?

You might just have a hard time digesting undercooked meat. I don’t know if you can find digestive enzymes easily in Japan. There’s different types for what you need help digesting. Lipase for digesting fats, amylase for carbohydrates, and protease for protein (meats). Look for something that says “papaya enzyme” that would be targeting proteins, but often times it contains all types of enzymes together to help with digestion. It’s either a capsule pill or chewable tablet that you take after the meal.

It's a hotel apparently, but the building is Post-Modern architecture... I wonder if it was an office building previously that was converted or perhaps this is Post-Modernism revival, which would make it even more unique! It looks beautiful and very original!

I think the other shinkansen was an older model the 500 series. This is same model as hello kitty and evangelion shinkansen

Please feature Tokyo Midtown Yaesu on your future vlog, thank you Rion.

Rion!!!!!! I love your channel you are so entertaining! My friends and I are planning a group trip to Japan for the middle of May of 2025. Would you say May after golden week is a good time to visit? We are definitely doing Tokyo but are unsure of second or third city to visit. I have been to Kyoto so I think Hiroshima and either Nagoya or Osaka would be good cities to visit for a 2 week trip. Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you for showing us accommodation options throughout your westward journey 😎 Q: For the room you stayed in, does the price double if two ppl stayed in it? 🤔 I heard hotel price in Japan is also based on number of ppl. P.S. Lovin’ the “shiro” pun 😹 and “mukan” is the Japanese version of “spork”! 😂🤯🤓

Hi rion. That second budget hotel looked great. But did you ever find out what was makeing the constant mystery noise. Lol lucky you found the main switch for the light in the bathroom. I once could not find the light switch so I had to shower in the dark it was interesting experience for me. The food looked great once again. Thanks

How to bike in Japan? Is there bike lane?

Buy a can of Pineapples (cube or ring), drink only the syrup (concentrated but very sweet), suitable only for non-diabetic person..I am from Singapore, easy to get one at any supermart...try, U will be surprise by the "remedy"

Hi may I know where n the name of the restaurant ?thanks

I have a question regarding the restaurants in Japan. As I am not an Japanese I don't use chopsticks. Does the restaurants give you spoon and fork for eating.

Take probiotic an hour before having 'risky' food.

Does Japan have ww2 museums? If so, what do they tell and show?

Hii which app did you use to book the shinkansen ticket? Also I have a question about picking up the ticket.. since I am planning to go to Kyoto and then travel from Himeji to Nagasaki via Shinkansen, and I want to buy the northern kyusu pass.. Can I pick up the pass at Kyoto JR station? Thanks~~

Hi rion it’s wood not oooooood 😅

Rion where do u buy your t shirts

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

First hi

As per Ayurveda (Ancient Indian Medicinal Science) you should not eat HOT & COLD DRINK (coffee and juice) in one meal. That also might be the reason you had stomach ache. According to Ayurveda desserts should be EATEN FIRST and NOT LAST. Even Appetiser should be eaten AFTER the dessert as per ayurveda. You can try for some time and see how it feels in your stomach.

Please don’t say bra bra bra it sounds really bad 😂
