Hi Kyde &Eric just seen this in my notification , put a thumbs up before I started watching knowing its going to be a great video same as all your other ones , you never let us down , thanks for shareing this been looking forward to it , :-) :-)
Kyde and Eric are my favorite marathons. After watching for ... 8 years? It's started to feel like watching my friends' adventures. You guys help these quarantine times feel a lot less lonely
Natsukashi! I went to Shikoku many times in the 70's since I was married to a guy from Sakaide in Kagawa. I remember the udon, the temple with the stairs and the unusually shaped hills so well.
That shot of cars driving on the left side of the road brought up all the past anxiety of driving in Japan - "Honey, look at this view!" / "No, I can't. I'm concentrating too hard on NOT KILLING US ALL!"
Both of you deserve more subs, been a sub to this channel for a long time now. Your content whether in Japan or anywhere else is fun and informative. Wishing you guys all the best for the future adventure.
I know this might sound weird but I just got home from a minor operation feeling fragile and battered and completely out of sorts. This video popped up in my inbox and I was able to just sit back and for an hour enjoy your lovely, calm, relaxed style and make my aches and pains ebb away. Thank You
I’m living in EHIME and came across this video. I visited Takamatsu and a few islands around there for Setouchi Triennale this spring and was fun. I hope you enjoy Shikoku trip and love his T-shirts especially Bjork!!
Thank you for taking me back up Konpirasan. I climbed all the way up to the top where you were in the middle of August 2011. I was a sweaty, hot mess, but it was worth it. I remember when I got up there, there was only one couple who was taking a rest. If I remember there's a stone bench on the left side just before the last stairs to that small shrine. One of the sandals that I used to hike up there was gaping because the heat melted the glue that was holding the strap to the side. Thank god it held up until I got back to my hotel in Takamatsu. I wonder if you guys saw the huge wooden lantern near the Kotoden train station?
Shikoku is the most overlooked and (maybe) coolest place to visit. Everyone should check out the Shikoku Pilgramage. Also btw, pretty amazing to see how Love Hotels are changing. Thanks for the vid as always and enjoy your travels!
This is one of my favourite videos you've shot in Japan. Can't wait to visit this temple when I go next year. Will be working a lot but hopefully will have a moment to escape to Shikoku! Maybe visit a Japanese friend I knew back in college who lives in Kagawa!
@@kydeanderic Oh definitely will! I'll be living in Tokyo in March (if Covid calms down a bit) so hopefully I'll get to try a bunch of the foods I see you both eat! Always jealous and hungry when I watch! :D
In England, the outside hallway is termed a cloister. Normally associated with priories and cathedrals. And often used for films (Harry Potter #1) and picturesque weddings of course :)
the coin floats easier in that larger pool of water than say, a glass because when you place the coin down youre causing less ripples to be reflected back to where the coin is which breaks surface tension and will cause the coin to fall.
I always wondered about the car thing too. I was taught that turning a car on and off like that waste more gas. I always thought that only hybrid cars turn off at stops.
The covered bridge/path thing is called a breezeway. I loved that temple. The coin thing is amazing. I would spend too much time and money trying to see just how much I could float. lol
I just came back from Japan two days ago and I’d stayed at the 9 hours capsule hotel in Asakusa. I totally recognized all of those landmarks you had walked through. I was even commenting to my husband that it would be so cool if we ever ran into Kyde and Eric in Japan. Didn’t knew you guys lived in that area. We were in Takayama on Saturday of the typhoon and just got rain only. Thanks for a great video, we discovered you guys when you did the Myanmar series and we were doing our research. Every time we travel to another country, we would say “google to see if Kyde and Eric hit that country yet!”
This was so fun! I'm a history nerd so I would have been so excited on the way up the stairs. Then I'd have died because I'm really out of shape, but it'd be a good death. xD
A very polished snappy-paced video jam-packed with interesting stuff...and, indeed, what's a Kyde and Eric video without a love hotel tour and a public bathroom facility review?
One of my all time favourite anime, 'Poco's Udon World' is based in Kagawa Prefecture, so it's really nice to see the place in real life through your vlog!
An other great video looking forward to the rest of the videos 👍 and wanting to try shouyu ice cream 🍦 we had Kurobe goma flavour last time we we in Japan and loved it 😀🇬🇧🏴
@Eric start stop engine is a fuel saving feature all modern cars have now, as you end using a lot of fuel while idling in standstill traffic. the engine cuts off after the car been stationary for certain amount of time.
The "love hotel with garage directly under room" thing is VERY popular in the city where I'm from, Hialeah Florida. The street that most of them are on, Okeechobee Blvd, used to be a really seedy place in the 80s with crack houses and rampant prostitution - when they finally cleaned it up in the 90s, they started putting up these fancy new love hotels (Executive Presidente Hotel, El Paraiso Motel) with that same layout. Never got to check one out, unfortunately! (both love hotels I've been to in my life were in Japan - one for the expressed purpose, the other a similar booking.com experience)
@@kydeanderic I don't think I've seen it in any other place than NYC maybe. Of course, you have the really seedy motels that just "happen" to charge by the hour, but not much on this scale. Time to research!
I now watch it in big, instead of on my phone 😊 in my comfy home. After 8 days of bedrest and the start of an immunotherapie in the hospital I think I am getting better 🙂 ans lots of Kyde and Eric rewatch it will get better even faster 😉
@@kydeanderic I also think this video could have been broken 3 different parts. My wife and I overly enjoy your videos and thought it was worth mentioning. Have a wonderful week!
We have a VW Golf that turns itself off but the feature can be disabled with the push of a button, it doesn’t tell you how long you spent stopped though.
@53:19 There's such a thing as a female urinal. My undergrad dorm had converted from all-women and still had an old one which we guys used. It's tilted at like a 45 degree angle. Made much more sense when the ladies wore skirts or dresses.
i rented a nissan highway star that had something more irritating than eco mode. It had an accident avoidance system that beeped and flashed a radar like symbol in the instrument display. Even when rounding corners oncoming cars would set it off. Turning off eco mode is easy but i never found out how to turn off that damn thing.
Man, I wish I had the time next year to do more of Japan. If you had to chose 3 days around Hiroshima, or 3 days to do the New Golden Route, which would you do?
I had to google what the new golden route is, but at a glance 3 days to do that doesn't seem like enough. We don't know a ton about Hiroshima as we have only been there briefly, but the peace park is stunning. -E
Our car turns off to lessen co2 emissions, much better for the environment especially when you are in a city to lessen all the air pollution from idling cars. My space angles , you two crack me up 🤣🤣
- @2:35 XD XD XD XD - Car idling: no yeah that exists here. Is the car you guys rented an electric?

49:47 yeah one yen aluminum coins :) shows the value of ONE yen haha.. When I was in Okinawa, I Once rode a taxi where the driver had decorated the entire HEADLINER with one yen coins :) completely covered .. I miss Japan! I miss the WTF moments :)
You *MUST* tell everyone you meet that you have a viewer that loves the old miniseries "Shogun" with Richard Chamberlain. It must be told! "Dozo, Toronaga-sama. Wakarimas!" That´s the only japanese I understand. And the only japanese that I need. I´ll shut up now. I´m only five minutes in.

Hello from Finland! I am so glad I found this channel! So nice to spend a proper +an hour in Japan with your lovely company!
Thanks! Glad you found us!
I’m so jealous..........Japan, the feeling of fall, burning leaf smell drifting thru the air, and a wonderful dinner. 👍🇯🇵👍
Eric's t-shirts get weirder with times.

Natsukashi! I went to Shikoku many times in the 70's since I was married to a guy from Sakaide in Kagawa. I remember the udon, the temple with the stairs and the unusually shaped hills so well.
Sorry, I cannot comment .Kyde describes everything perfectly.

Haha
i love how you guys live a simple, contented and happy life without too much materialistic burdens! Envy!
Welcome to Shikoku and Kagawa! If you'd like to circle around 88 temples. I'd really like to support you guys!
I love how you guys just get right into everything and just give such informative and really funny info..Awesum..

Don't recall the lantern, but we were going around by car so didn't do much on trains. -E
Excellent video, Shikoku seems to be a true hidden gem! Looking forward to the upcoming videos in the series.
It's brilliant down there! Excited to share more. -E
That climb seems like such a serene thing to do. Thanks for showing it!
Thanks for enjoying it!
Dudes, I don't understand why you don't have like 1 million subscribers?
Hah, UA-cam's algorithm robots don't like us.
Mmm Bukkake udon, I'm well aware what bukkake means but can't help thinking of something else =)
diiiiirty
@@kydeanderic how do you know its diiiiiirty? :-)
I had to rewind about ten times to be sure I heard it correctly. Wasn't sure if she said something like "burrake" or indeed bukkake.
Lol SAME xD
Shikoku is the most overlooked and (maybe) coolest place to visit. Everyone should check out the Shikoku Pilgramage. Also btw, pretty amazing to see how Love Hotels are changing. Thanks for the vid as always and enjoy your travels!
Totally agree, Shikoku is up there near the top of my favorite places in Japan! -E
Looking forward to sharing your trip with you. Very nice start!
I'm always excited to see a nice long one.
i like Eric too ..
This is one of my favourite videos you've shot in Japan. Can't wait to visit this temple when I go next year. Will be working a lot but hopefully will have a moment to escape to Shikoku! Maybe visit a Japanese friend I knew back in college who lives in Kagawa!

I always wondered about the car thing too. I was taught that turning a car on and off like that waste more gas. I always thought that only hybrid cars turn off at stops.
Just as I was getting bored my saviours arrive!
Great video! A few years ago I did the first 11 temples of the Shikoku pilgrimage. Took a few days. I hope to finish it someday.
Yea, someday I'd like to do them too! It'd be a huge undertaking for sure. -E
The covered bridge/path thing is called a breezeway. I loved that temple. The coin thing is amazing. I would spend too much time and money trying to see just how much I could float. lol

Win the race, live out the rest of your days on a mountain temple, lose the race and end up as sakuraniku at the local Izakaya.
This is how I need to start all my days off.
Take off Thursdays! -E
Japan and its love hotels man... so creepy/strange/interesting/puzzling/creative/cheesy 🤔
I don’t have enough words to describe that!
Loved the sound of the walking stick throughout the video
Thanks for another very enjoyable video!
This was so fun! I'm a history nerd so I would have been so excited on the way up the stairs. Then I'd have died because I'm really out of shape, but it'd be a good death. xD
im heading for four days to Shikoku, particularly Tokushima. I am super excited. Any recommendations on cheap ramen places and beer?
We didn't spend much time in the actual city, so no, off the top of my head nothing comes to mind. I'm sure there is a yokocho hiding somewhere there!
A very polished snappy-paced video jam-packed with interesting stuff...and, indeed, what's a Kyde and Eric video without a love hotel tour and a public bathroom facility review?
Amazing there are a lot of good channels about Japan this one is stil the best and i think always the best!
Thanks!
Wow!long time, have not see you ! Thank you for this post.
Glad you came back!
I'm impressed that you walked all the steps up!! I would have been ticked off if I got all the way to the top and there was a parking lot! LOL
The hike is part of the fun!
One of my all time favourite anime, 'Poco's Udon World' is based in Kagawa Prefecture, so it's really nice to see the place in real life through your vlog!
Keep it coming. Slowbot saved the day?
Yeah, remembered the horses.

Woo hoo! new adventures! Moar fuds to nom! Love ya guys! - anthony B .
Where does Kyde get all the travel guides you guys talk about all the time?
At book stores. She uses まっぷる brand.
I didn't expect you eating the lemon. 😄It's like eating the lemon of a tea served with a lemon.
Lemon is good.
🎸💁♀️Agreed, lemon is good!😊
Every time I see Eric wearing that Bjork shirt I get so jealous! It’s like the coolest shirt I’ve ever seen.
Lol this is probably weird but I think it's my favorite shirt of his 'xD :)
I laughed when Eric talked about the Elephant statue commemorating the time when peoples Elephants would do the pilgrimage for them. lol!
