Haha nothing beats German sausages! Big fan! Actually Taku in January I think he said, is going to Germany for a couple months to study German sausages and learn all about them for the business! So glad you enjoyed the video - he was a really great guy right? Appreciate it legend🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Countryside looks beautiful mate especially the view at 10:15 Always enjoy these kind of videos of hidden gems in Japan. Also congratulations for reaching 3k subs much deserverd!
Thanks for returning for the watch buddy and appreciate the support in getting me to 3K, rolled around so quickly and this community is so positive - love it! Hopefully, I’ll get to showcase more of these hidden gems throughout Japan as time goes on 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
What a great episode! Thank you for sharing something outside the box! I'm glad you met with a subscriber now friend. It made it that more personable. I look forward to more like this! 😊 じゃあ、またね legend!
I’m so glad that you liked it, mate. I love hearing that! Yeah, I was so fortunate to have such a nice guy to show me around his area. It was truly such a beautiful little country town! Really hoping to do more of these in the upcoming future. Appreciate you tuning in legend 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Great dude hey, he made for a fantastic host! Super fortunate to have him drive me around town and give these legs a rest for a day haha And yeah, would be great to do more of these in the future I reckon. Cheers legend!🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
haha I was out a birthday when I noticed comments coming in on that video and I was like 'Oh no!' But I'm glad people have been enjoying it hey. Love getting out of the city and meeting new people and hearing their stories. I was so fortunate to have found Taku. So a great guy! Appreciate the support as always legend 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Such a great day out, Taku was such a nice guy. I was so fortunate to have him drive me around and be a great guide to the city! And thank you so much! 3K came around so fast, everyone has been so kind as this community grows. Appreciate the support mate 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Man what a great video the countryside the people the businesses you are showing a side of Japan that we do not get to see often and so for that I just want to say thank you and keep up big like my brother❤
I’m glad you enjoyed it legend. I really appreciate those kind words! Hopefully in the future, I’ll get to show off more of these gems throughout Japan. The countryside often gets overlooked but it’s so beautiful. Especially in the upcoming autumn season 🍂 Appreciate the support, buddy 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Beautiful right! Oh where did you visit?? I reckon during Autumn season, this place would be even more beautiful. I’ll definitely be back one day soon! Thanks Em🙋🏽♂️✌🏽
Thanks so much mate, super kind feedback! I feel so lucky to have not just a growing community but an incredibly positive one! Appreciate it legend ✌🏽🇯🇵
Ohh that’s a good one, far out Japan almost has too much to offer in the way off food. I go through my cycles of my favourites haha great idea though legend - appreciate it!🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
As always with Christian, hanging out turned into a cinematic experience. You've done well; I'm more interested than ever to explore Kyushu in depth. As someone who used to live in the countryside, I don't dislike the quiet lifestyle. I struggle with the pace of Toronto, I would be more than happy to live in a city close to the inaka
Oh truely? Then I’m betting you would absolutely like Ukiha! I didn’t even show off the main street area, showed only a little bit from the car but it was all closed for the day when I was there. Such a peaceful and well kept country town. It’s funny, it’s in the middle of no where but later found out, lately, it’s becoming really popular for people to visit for other countries. The river’s through the town also just gave it such beauty! I’d love to see it during Sakura season. Definitely add to your list legend 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Its sooo beautiful right - now can you imagine this place during autumn 🍂 OMG! I will make a return visit during my fav season I reckon haha Thanks boonie!🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
What amazing feedback! Truely love hearing people not only enjoying the videos but getting something from them. Im glad it was a quick 15 minutes distraction for you, I had a ton of fun on this one and so fortunate to have a great guide in Taku. Appreciate it legend, always great ti hear from you 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Japanese countryside is so beautiful, it was nice to see another part of it in this video. A random question - when Taku speaks Japanese, does he still have an American accent or does it revert back to Japanese accent?
Glad you enjoyed it buddy, yeah I’m really looking forward to exploring more of the Japanese countryside during the upcoming autumn season. By far the best time to visit it! Haha Nah he would speak in his native Japanese accent. It’s just how he has learnt to pronounce during his English learning. I’ve heard many different accents here and you can always tell what background their teacher was according to their pronunciation. Its really cool! Appreciate the support as always, mate 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Another great video. I love these little windows into life in Japan, especially in the countryside. Probably the biggest concern I have with my potential move to Japan for JET is making friends.
Thanks so much buddy! Yeah I'm the same, I love hearing people's stories and looking forward to meeting more people along my journey here. And I totally understand your concern about making friends. But no need to worry at all hey. As long as you make the effort to understand the culture and be outgoing to talk to people, they are really friendly people. Meet up groups are great also I've heard but there are many ways to make friends, you'll love it! Best of luck on your journey buddy 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
That’s so awesome to hear that mate and absolutely appreciate the support! Tell me more! Always like to hear about people moving or living here. Where to and what will you both be doing here? Congratulations also, you are in for an awesome adventure I bet 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
@@hangswithchristian We're starting an airbnb and a guided motorcycle touring business. So much planning has had to go in to this, and it's a big risk which is why we're doing airbnb on top of the moto tours. Originally it was just going to be moto tours, but you know, all the eggs and one basket or w/e. We should be on the plane in December. We are listing our house for sale in Canada, so once it sells we will basically have nothing keeping us here. We've waited so long for this, and even put off starting a family until we get to Japan. Fingers are crossed, and I won't lie, I wake up at night and ask myself if this is even a good idea or not... but I think sometimes if you want to do great things, you have to take a risk.
Your new venture sounds incredibly exciting and adventurous! I totally understand the planning and risk involved, especially with starting two businesses at once. It's clear that you both are putting so much thought into making it work, and it's inspiring to see you taking such a bold step. The combination of Airbnb and guided motorcycle tours sounds like a fantastic idea, offering a unique experience for travelers. I admire your courage to follow your dreams and make this big move to Japan. It's natural to have those moments of doubt, but often, the greatest things in life come from taking risks. Wishing you all the best with the house sale and your journey ahead. Fingers crossed for a smooth transition-I'm rooting for you! Keep us updated on your progress; I'd love to hear more about how it all unfolds! 🚀🌏🏍️
Hey dude thanks for showing the country side of Fukuoka! Will be heading there next year for sure ! Cool to see that you've spending time with a subscriber and making new friends keep it up ! oh and well done on reaching 3k sub too! 👍👍
Hey mate, thanks so much for tuning in again. It’s always great to hear from you. Yeah the Japanese countryside is just so beautiful and often goes missed by people travelling here. So it’s great to hear that you plan on checking it out! And really appreciate all the support - 3K came around so fast! Cheers legend 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Hey, this one dropped a day earlier. Another fabulous video-thanks for sharing your meeting with Taku. I love the countryside, and Ukiha looks absolutely wonderful. As much as I enjoy the big Japanese cities, the countryside is where it’s at. Just look at how beautiful Ukiha Imari Shrine is, and you had it all to yourselves. Sadly, most visitors to Japan stick to the Golden Route, but if you go beyond that, you will see so much more. Congratulations on hitting 3,000 subscribers, Christian. Onwards and upwards, mate!
Thanks so much mate! Taku is an absolute legend, such a kind guy that should me around his town. That’s right, the Japanese countryside is so beautiful. I hope to explore more of it in the future. I was so fortunate to have that shrine to myself, but I guess that’s what you get in the countryside. Which I guess is why should visit the countryside! Thanks so much for tuning and legend if no it was a day early if by mistake haha
Taku-san seems like an absolute lad!!! this was a such a cool video, it felt like it had a real nice flow to it with the snappy transitions and segmenting. cheers as always for the video!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video, even though it came out one day early. He such a nice guy and I was so fortunate for him to be such a great guide and showing me around his town! I’m glad you enjoyed it, legend! Great hearing from you!🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Again great video champion :) I love your Aura and the happy/positive vibe in your videos. Even inspired me to think about moving to Fukuoka and visit Genkijacs for one year, after I finish my bachelor degree in College. Thank you so much and keep up the grind Chris. Greetings from Germany 👋
That’s super kind of you to say thanks so much for watching legend! That’s awesome that you are considering moving to Fukuoka and also attending GenkiJacs. Overall, it’s just such a great place to be based out of in my opinion! Appreciate the support buddy 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
I’m so glad to hear that mate. It is such a rad place to visit! In the background I actually met the whole family and they are all so kind even though the place was closed for the day haha Really appreciate you tuning in legend and hope to hear from you soon 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Appreciate you tuning in buddy! I accidentally scheduled this video for one day early so it is kind of a surprise haha Absolutely legend for watching! It was such a great guy for showing me around his town. I am super appreciative 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Awesome video and the countryside is even more breathtaking than in the Community post, and when it comes to drones, I presume they're freely useable in Japan, whereas in the UK, their use is so restricted, as they're always worried your drone will come down and crash into someone, who'll then sue. For some reason, if I leave a long comment, UA-cam hides it, so I'll make this short & might have to split my comments up 😲
Yeah, it’s always really nice to escape the city sometime and go into the countryside. Plus, as you mentioned, drone use out there for one is free to use anywhere and two showcases an even more stunning scenery everytime! Oh truely? Pretty sure I’ve replied to all of your comments myself unless I have missed some? Either way - appreciate you watching as always legend🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
@@hangswithchristianHi, it's not you, it's a YT problem. Something else they're aware of, but never fix. Another example of UK nonsense, and while hearing about the potential Megaquake in Japan (hopefully that won't come for at least a century!), I remember reading about the 2011 tsunami completely destroying a road, yet thanks to excellent Japanese efficiency, the road was fixed in 6 days! Meanwhile, if you Google - Greek Street roundabout Stockport-, you'll see a roundabout that's actually classed as a bridge (I learn something new after 26 years of living in the area). It needs to be demolished and rebuilt. The roundabout is used by thousands of vehicles each day, yet to replace it, it'll close from March 2025, and for an entire YEAR! At least! That's beyond crazy. I need to get out of here 😁
Oh yeah, are you talking about that sinkhole that they got fixed in 24 hours. I actually think that was here in Fukuoka - I remember hearing about that story! Haha The trades here are so efficient but everywhere else seems to have a reputation of being quite slow. Haha that’s wild shutting that thing down for a year but I’m actually not surprised because in my hometown in Australia they have taken over one year and a half to build a walk bridge over a creek that is about 2 m wide haha
@@hangswithchristian Yep, it was a big sinkhole and they fixed it double-quick. Your bridge also sounds like another bridge near me that's close to that roundabout. Just a literal stone's throw away is the Thomson Street bridge for which I made two brief videos. One where they finally opened it after well over three years of delays, and revealing a metal monstrosity that's been dubbed the Mad Max bridge; and a more recent one where a school has painted flowers and wildlife on it. It doesn't get much footfall, anyway, and walking round it is a mild inconvenience of a few mins, although you do now get to avoid the main road.
Yep, thats the sinkhole. The trades work self efficient here. It’s so great to see! Haha that story sounds also familiar to the bridge in Australia. Incredible similar in design!
Hello Hangs, I'm planning to go to Japan for 3 months starting on November. I have been in Japan twice but only for two weeks each time. This time I'm learning the language and I want to go over there to practice. I'm already taking Japanese clases. I work online, so I will just continue working over there but I don't have any friends, or anybody living in Japan. Do you have any recommendations on how to rent a temporary apartment in Japan? I was thinking of maybe moving around. Like 1 month in place and so on. Thank you!!
Hey mate - thanks so much for watching and I actually did a 3 month stint here myself from November a couple years ago which is what led me to plan my move here after! As for renting of apartments, you won’t be able to contract rent a place as you normally would in your own country but I’ll give you what I did. If you rent apartments on Airbnb, they are pretty expensive here but if you rent by the month, alot will show you a good discount. I got an apartment here in Fukuoka city for about $700USD for December with one. Hotels can be cheaper booking last minute for discounts often but be careful as you are going during a busy period. If you are looking at Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, there are company called Sakura House online where you can rent by the month. I used them years back and it was decent but they book out fast and just depends whats available! I hope that helps mate and applaud you for learning the language ahead of time, they’ll respect you for that 👍🏽 I hope that helps legend and best of luck on your journey!
@@hangswithchristian Thank you so much!! I'm super nervous about this move but I really want to do it. I will let you know how everything works out! Have a great day!
You’ll be fine buddy - embrace the adventure! Just know you are living someone else’s dream and seek the discomfort as you’ll make incredible memories for life!
Pop tarts, hahaha! They just made a movie about pop tarts and how they were invented. It’s a spoof with Jerry Seinfeld. People need to get out of the cities in Japan to see what the countryside is really like. The cities are futuristic, but very generic. You don’t get a real taste of Japan until you end up in some tiny little village in the middle of nowhere. That’s where you find the heart of Japan, the soul of Japan! Good day trip!
I was that right? What was the movie called? I completely agree. You don’t really experience the real Japan until we get out into the country side of my opinion! It is so stunning. Thanks so much for watching buddy 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
its kinda sad when country side has less more people and younger people. and people in the country side is getting older. i guess no one wants to live in the countryside and take their place or fields.
Yeah I agree - its so stunning in the countryside. Though places like this are getting more popular which I love. They actually get many korean and other foreign tourists here which is so cool!
12:45 Did I hear sausages?
As a German I need to taste that sausages for sure.
Taku is a really cool guy - I enjoyed to watch the video!
Haha nothing beats German sausages! Big fan!
Actually Taku in January I think he said, is going to Germany for a couple months to study German sausages and learn all about them for the business!
So glad you enjoyed the video - he was a really great guy right?

Going off the main route in Japan is the best thing you can do. So freaking awesome. Thanks for uploading a whole day early, best mistake ever ;D

Hotels can be cheaper booking last minute for discounts often but be careful as you are going during a busy period.
If you are looking at Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, there are company called Sakura House online where you can rent by the month. I used them years back and it was decent but they book out fast and just depends whats available!
I hope that helps mate and applaud you for learning the language ahead of time, they’ll respect you for that 👍🏽
I hope that helps legend and best of luck on your journey!
@@hangswithchristian Thank you so much!! I'm super nervous about this move but I really want to do it. I will let you know how everything works out! Have a great day!
You’ll be fine buddy - embrace the adventure! Just know you are living someone else’s dream and seek the discomfort as you’ll make incredible memories for life!
Pop tarts, hahaha! They just made a movie about pop tarts and how they were invented. It’s a spoof with Jerry Seinfeld.
People need to get out of the cities in Japan to see what the countryside is really like. The cities are futuristic, but very generic. You don’t get a real taste of Japan until you end up in some tiny little village in the middle of nowhere. That’s where you find the heart of Japan, the soul of Japan! Good day trip!
I was that right? What was the movie called?
I completely agree. You don’t really experience the real Japan until we get out into the country side of my opinion! It is so stunning.
Thanks so much for watching buddy 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
@@hangswithchristian “Unfrosted”. Lots of famous people in it. I think it was a mediocre movie but very lighthearted. Maybe a mockumentary
its kinda sad when country side has less more people and younger people. and people in the country side is getting older. i guess no one wants to live in the countryside and take their place or fields.
Yeah I agree - its so stunning in the countryside. Though places like this are getting more popular which I love. They actually get many korean and other foreign tourists here which is so cool!
