This is the type of experience I like seeing in Japan! No crane games, harajuku, or maid cafes. Just going out and meeting Japanese people

Mate, your videos are so refreshing. No clickbait or filler crap, just pure humble life captured on camera. Safe travels.

Wow that older gentleman that spent his first years in an internment camp here in the US gave me chills. Those people won’t be able to tell their stories for too much longer, so it is a blessing to hear their experiences now.

I'm an Okinawan descent who has lived in Okinawa and this video brought back so many memories. Great job capturing the heart and soul of Okinawa. Thank you for the great video and I'm loving the content.

Definitely your most gangster video brother. That man was so nice and the driver interpreter was just lovely. You always find the coolest people. You are a legend my friend.

I lived with Japanese exchange students in New York. I can honestly say that they love and are fascinated with America. I have never seen a culture like this before that is so accepting. It was an absolute honor to spend time with all of them. That was over 30 years ago.

I work as an engineering consultant doing public design work and I can confirm it has the ability to make even a street hardened Yakuza lose his mind.

From someone who enjoys traveling and learning about the local culture, lifestyle, and language you're a true inspiration Tommy! You're content is so good, I'm willing to sit thru the product plug....this time. Lol. Keep up the great work!

Really fun video to watch. Reminds me of parts of my family in Okinawa who were also Yakuza bosses and left that life. Think this is the best video on youtube that I've seen that encapsulates the true vibe I felt when I was born and raised their for most of my life around the same area you are visiting. Glad you had a great time and hope to maybe see you around Okinawa sometime :)

Hey Sabbatical, I just wanted to say every time I see your vlogs, I genuinely smile. Thank you for everything that you do & I hope you have an amazing 2023!

Se te extraña como siempre Tommy, gracias por el video 💜

Tommy this is a very good video. The importance of sharing your life stories and understanding the people of Japan. This is what life is about. Getting off our buts getting out exploring and sharing your life with someone else from some place elsewhere ♥️

After seeing these two guys, I wonder how many people I know have that kind of history and just don't talk about it. I would not be surprised. He seemed a lot more relaxed in this video. I thought you were staying a lot longer in Japan. Welcome back any time and hope you can do a meetup next time

You got the best storytelling ability out of all the travel channels I've seen

Just binge watched like 10 of your videos, keep these up please!

Watch the ads to support this guy. One of the best channels in RU-vid right now. Thanks Tommy 😎

That OG was serious. I noticed his two missing pinkies

I love your coverage of Okinawa. As someone who is living on the island, I think your videos are really down to earth which is on point with island life. Especially with the giant banana spiders! Take care!

I lived on Okinawa for 2 years when I was in the Marine Corps. There is a ton of history on that island and the people are top notch. Definitely the highlight of my career.

Yeah, I can definitely feel that bit about people being tough to deal with. I can't imagine being in a group for so long and not getting support from them when you want to do something different. But, I guess that's life.

@ 12:30 wow graduated high school in 1958. Good to see him still trucking. That lady next to him is some great help. Maybe family member? either way its amazing to see him in that spot paying tribute.

Hell yea man I'm excited to see where you're going in Tokyo! Unlike many other RU-vidrs - not to diss or underestimate any of them, they're valid in their own right - I expect the unexpected from your channel and that's the coolest thing about it. Whereas many people would think Sky Tree, Asakusa, Cat Cafes, Maid Cafes, Harajuku fashion, Shibuya Crossing or Kabukicho, I expect you to go seeing other obscure and less known spots around the city. Although if you wanna keep going on this streak of Yakuza-hunting, I'd expect you to stumble upon Kabukicho (the Red Light District) or somewhere like Roppongi, but in a interesting way since you always go roaming around the country "randomly" seeing the lesser known parts of every country you visit and talking to the locals. That's what makes this channel so human and organic, instead of a scripted tourist cliché itinerary, you just freely walk around explaining historical/cultural trivia of everywhere you're walking by while talking to people. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to seeing your next video.

Nice to have you back Sabbatical been missing your blogs,we were wondering what happened and hope you were OK.

There’s a row of houses in my neighborhood (US) built by ex-Yakuza members. Their style is distinctly Japanese and stands out quite a bit.

That Lorinser Mercedes was gorgeous! One of my biggest regrets was getting rid of an e320 with a set of them

Thank you, Tommy. I'm looking forward to the next video in Tokyo. Be safe 🙏🏾

i truly hope you are thankful to that guy. hes truly taking you to some unique 1 of a kind experiences. If you look up yakuza videos on youtube theres not a whole lot and if it is its with current yakuza. Hardly ever will you see a former yakuza boss on a video, not one from the time period he was. and hes right that would have been the time where being a yakuza was the best because the laws were so loose and the police were bought or scared. they turned their head to everything. thats when there was real violence and being a yakuza got you actual respect everywhere. when you were treated like a celebrity that would kick heads in anywhere you went. that former boss must have so many unique crazy stories he could tell. some he probably cant ever speak of. the stories he could tell

Japan is a dream destination. Your videos are fun to watch and make the dream, a possible reality. To go as one and meet friends along the way like you do. A true adventure. Thank you for your content 🙏🏼

Really appreciate your videos, Sabbatical! Nothing else really like them out there, keep up the great work.

Love your videos so much, amazed by how chilled and relaxed you are and your language talented and all wonderful people u met along the trip. you are born to do this

Awesome video Tommy! I’m glad also that you get some sponsorship, very well deserved 🤙🏼

these videos are so relaxing to watch, please if someone knows more youtubers as chill as sabbatical do let me know :D

This gentleman that u’ve had in the videos, is such an interesting person‼️ I thoroughly enjoyed the Japan content so far.

You're amazing! First time watched your video week ago and instantly get hooked, keep up man!

Your the best, tommy! You did it again! You took me to Japan the tommy way. Been waiting on new video, again i thank you.

I really enjoyed both Yakuza videos immensely! Thanks

Happy New Year! This was another great experience, thanks Tommy!

This was video gold. We need more of this type of content!! 🙌🔥

I so look forward to your vids. Love em.Keep up the good work pal.

This is a very captivating video. Funny, historic and Sabbatical! Go job man !!

I guess I have commented an all your Japanese posts... I've really enjoyed them. Brings back a lot of fond memories. I hope you have more up your sleeve.

I absolutely love your Japan videos ! I’m addicted to them lol!

Amazing videos man

Was a great video! Love the insight of the yakuza. Happy New Year 🎊

dude these videos are truely amazing

The guy that went from being a Yakuza boss to being a monk must have so many great stories!

Starting off the year strong, you love to see it!! ❤️ Looking super slick Tommy 😎

This has got to be the coolest youtube video ever.

Man, that's the good life. Seeing nice places, meeting new people and along the way they maybe become your friends - and the best part, it's happens in a country you're not familiar with nor 100% sure with their language. Amazing Content 🙌

I get chills watching the episode how cool and positive it is.

Seeing how nice everyone is in these Japan vids makes me want to go there even more!

Good insight in to Japan not often covered on RU-vid or anywhere else. Nice one tommy and Japanese friends

Another masterpiece from Sabbatical. The rarest of rare vlogs.👍5🎆

Good episode. Hope you go back to Japan after all your other adventures.

You are the best, my favorite channel.

I've been fighting Covid and found this channel not only a Ironically a good sponsor , but WOW I love your content. The film style feels like I'm a fly on the wall experiencing cultures come together. Thank you ^_^

Happy new year Tommy these get so much better I enjoy them , Japanese people seem very friendly be nice to go there

The translator seems very sweet and bright and has a beautiful smile. She's attentive and helpful. I haven't watched this channel often but I'm new and I'm gaining interest with every moment and subject. Thank you for sharing your travels. 🙏 Again, your translator is quite lovely. 🥂 Edit: Drink snake booze and then....why not?? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f2ZbLjGAxJ0.html

What a trip that you came across that old dude from WA. Was not expecting him to speak perfect English and sound like that lol. How cool!

Nice I'm early-ish! I found your channel recently and especially love these videos in Japan. Can't wait to go back someday 😌

This is pretty cool. I liked this documentary!! Thanks for making it!! ✌🏽✌🏽😎🤟🏽 Much love & respect brutha!

i absolutely love these videos

Happy to see you back Tommy, happy new year, awesome episode. Hasta la proxima

Nice one bro,i'm gonna go there soon.Outstanding work. Happy New Year ✌

Happy new year Tommy watching from the Bahamas I watch all your videos, you rock need to come to the Bahamas. You rock

Man how ironic is that (not sure if right words)three people who there and all three different walks of life and yet all three have links through WW2 and that country and that city etc the world is so crazy it never ceases to amaze me

nicee back again with some yakuza action. Can't wait for the Tokyo vlogs!

This was awesome!!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great video Tommy!!!! I loved the Japan series!!!! 5 Stars!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great video again, looking forward to more of your travels in Japan. We have those same baggage machines in Australia at our domestic terminals, but I haven't seen them elsewhere before.

As a viewer I am in awe of your fearless nature. The stories from the two ex Yakuza and the elder Okinawan gentleman were fascinating. Continued success.

liking the japan content , visited Fukuoka in 2019 and enjoyed it 👍

Tommy I just wantvto say you vlogs are amazing. The most natural, and informative interactions I have ever seen , you truly have a gift at this and I hope to see many more of you videos, PS when are you cominn to Durban , South African?

Holy Bruno Sacco! @8:42 That. My friend, is a Lorinser W140 S-class. A 600SEL to be exact. The W140 'Kathedral' was the last time the SEL type was made. SEL stands for 'Sonderklasse Einspritzung Lang' meaning Unequalled(Special)class Injection Long. On generations of the S-class after the W140, the type badge would just say 500L or 600L. This is the 600, and Yakuza driving a top range S class with the v12, as indicated on the rear window sills, would mean there is no boss above him regionally. And that is both very impressive and also intimidating. The car is most likely an original, seen as it is imported with LHD steering setup and leather. However, the wheels are not (time)'correct' and im guessing its part of a custom job, like the full black wrapped roof, doorhandles and mirrorcovers. Not going into the 7.0 and bigger v12s that seem to pop up online. I think theyre too obscure to have any reliable info on.

What i love most about u is that you dont judge people. I use to be friends with what most people call criminals also and what i learned that they make better friends then you would think.

Yeah dude. Always great content. Cheers from Sweden.

I've drank that snake liquor before and I can say first hand how really gross it is. Tommy handled it like a champ lol. That huge amount

Love they's videos mate am 40 always wanted to go to Japan and this feels like an there keep up the good work

Waited 3 weeks for this it’s finalllly here😮‍💨

Loved this, and the Merc is beautiful and with the steering wheel on the right side! 🇬🇧

Man I love your videos being able to see the world from my phone

15:37 Te salió el argentino de adentro che jajajaja. You souned like a real porteño there. It's interesting that you choose to say that in a very argentian way haha, hope we see you around here soon.

wish you would stay longer in japan. your videos are great

Thank YOU for Another Excellent Video! He seems to have been taken as much by complete surprise as Yuki did, regarding the MF remark, even though it would be considered a compliment here in US by most BA's (providing you were friends).

Awesome episode man.. Can't believe the characters you found here.. Great watch for sure:-)

Enjoyed your Okinawan group outing! Good times and very relaxing!

Man your videos are the best🔥🔥🔥

The guy said get out of here before it gets dark... What a cool old dude

Love the content bro!!

That guy seems to keep his arms folded a lot when he's 'outside' !

Great vids man

Really enjoyed your trip too Japan. Amazing trip. Be safe on your travels.

Love your videos

Wonderful job🔥🔥

No gear No editing No cringe talks Straight to the point !! Loving the content

Jealous absolutly Jealous... And you bein smooth... Phenomenal... Keep it up Gansta

I came across your channel a month ago and have watched all your vids and gotta say you have the biggest balls to do what you do cuz I've been robbed at gun point in DR while visiting and struggle to wanna travel to places again. But watching your vids has helped me and ill maybe take another trip again sometime this year.
