Castles in Japan were all built within a specific time period, the Warring States period. European castles were built across a broader time frame, especially when you consider star forts as the post gunpowder castle.
There were tens of thousands of castles built before the Sengoku period. Muromachi period, Kamakura, etc, etc. Basically none of them survived because well, you know, wood lol.
Many famous castle were actually built at the start of the Edo period as well. Also the reason there are only a handfull of original castles left isn't necessarily because it was wood but because they quite literally became obsolete after a pretty peaceful Edo period leading into the meiji restauration and the abolishment of the shogunate. Himeji castle for example was just auctioned off for a ridiculously low price, I believe a couple thousand yen or sth.
Not just seige engines. European castles changed over several generations of tech - canons changed castle design, muskets changed it... Then you have the pretty castles which are more for demonstrating status than defence... And over several countries as Joey pointed out.
european castles were also remodelled/restaurated over time, like even it was originally very old, lets say from 800 it was changed and rebuilt lots of time, stuff was added and so on, changing the appearance and style according to time periods
My Dad unfortunately passed away when I was 14, credit to him; I can steer and dock fishing vessels, small engine repair, I can hunt bleed gut and skin animals, can field strip simple rifles and know way too many knots for someone who didnt do scouts. He did his part. Shoutout to all the Dads. miss ya big guy

19:34 Not an expert here but I'm pretty sure European castles look different is because they were built for different styles of warfare (e.g. the introduction of gunpowder weapons got designers to add a slope on the wall) (also different countries across different time periods will obv give a different style)
I was just in Sapporo in August. From what I understand, Sapporo's tower was built one year (1957) before Tokyo Tower (1958). Same designer, who was inspired by Eiffel Tower.

As a Nagoya native, I tell people to go there for a genuin day-to-day Japanese experience. Lots of great places to eat, the nightlife is solid with street performers, prices/bargain finds are much easier, and there are genuinely so many things to do there. The con is that once you're a few blocks outside of Nagoya station, nobody really knows english but everyone is still happy to help.

And while some people are gifted, you might overestimate your spatial awareness if you haven't practiced it before 😂 that said, anyone could learn it at least on the trampoline or from a springboard in a day! Backflipping is so much fun 💪🏻
My dad has given me hundreds of dad knowledge throughout my childhood and teen years... But because I rarely do dad things in my life, I just forget them immediately and keep going to my dad for help😂
Most of my “dad knowledge” comes from either my dad teaching me (shutting down/ starting up a swamp cooler, patching a bike tire), learning from Boy Scouts (knots, basic tool knowledge, changing oil in a car, basic camping skills), learning from jobs (painting walls, how to operate yard work machinery/ tools) and UA-cam videos (installing a sink, patching large holes in walls, changing the heating coil in a dryer, etc). I’ve never really messed with electrical wiring (too scared of somehow electrocuting myself) or full on construction stuff though but I’ve had my hand in smaller stuff like taking down a wall and patching things up, and I haven’t done much car stuff because I ride a bike everywhere.
Same. Scouting helped with camping and my dad helped me with car work in high school. Wood shop and welding in high school also afforded me invaluable knowledge. But Connor is right: if you cut out distractions in your life-I don’t play video games anymore and try to limit myself to 1-2 hours of UA-cam and TV a day-you can accomplish a lot of your goals.

There’s a few layers to Dad knowledge. I’ve come to realize a lot of things I’ve learned from my dad is basic level stuff. In regard to cars, an oil change or tire change is super simple. You just need the tools. For house renovations it’s mostly cosmetic stuff. The second it comes to stuff that needs to meet “code” dads either do it without keeping to code or pay an actual professional. Of course if your dad has a job in said task then he knows what he’s doing but the reality is our dads kinda wing it and play it off like they knew what they were doing LOL!
Yeah. I just replaced a busted light socket by following the wires and following whatever basic electricity knowledge I had and my 4 year old holding the flash light. Kept it simple. Use electrical tape to cover exposed parts, replace the socket with the exact same one, etc. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to work
Sorry for your loss. Just wanted to share that I feel lucky despite losing my dad young. He at least taught me how to ride a bike and pull off Ryu’s Hadouken and Shoryureppa.

The biggest thing that makes every European Castle unique, Connor just didn't explain it well enough, was that it fit the land it was built on. What does that mean? Well, imagine minecraft. When you build a house, you flatten some land, right? You don't do that for castles. You find a suitable and defensible spot, like a hill or a river crossing, and you build the castle to make full use of the geography. The design principles will remain the same, but the footprint will always look different. Looking at just the keep does not help the argument, as they also follow the "principle design", of which there are a few depending on the century. The most advanced a castle got before forts became more widespread was the Concentric Castle, a castle that has layers and layers of defenses and walls, if I remember correctly. Corfe Castle is a good example of one, I believe.
Im 34 and got my dad knowledge from working like over a dozen odd jobs over the years. I know like everything about installing an hvac system and also how to run a gas station by myself. It builds up knowledge working different stuff. You land on what makes you happy and content.
I'm 35 and I have massive amounts of dad knowledge between helping him build our house and fix machines for his work or our own cars. So I'll share with you the secret for gaining dad knowledge put yourself in a position to do something you've never done before and screw it up several times but have it not be the end of the world. Wanna learn woodworking? Start out building something that doesn't matter out of scrap wood or pallets don't go buy a big slab of mahogany because you will do it wrong and then not be able to afford or want to do it again but if you build like 10 birdhouses out of trash the 10th one might look okay and you'll have learned along the way.
@@_A.t.g I mean Joey clearly had his Dad do all the work for him but then again, not sure if his dad at least tried to make him get interested with the hobbies he does. But who knows. I didn't even knew how do an oil change let alone change a tire until around college when I started driving and slowly get into cars thanks to somewhat of my brother and cousin letting me borrow his tools to mess with my car lol.
20:11 Why is Conor comparing the totality of Europe to just Japan. Castles in one individual country looks the same, castles across a continent looks different. Castles in England look the same, but differ from Castles in Wales. Castles in Japan look the same but differ from castles in China. Castles look the same in countries and differ across continents…
As many people use the wrong size screwdriver and strip out screw heads or round over the the tip of the screw driver itself there is definitely a little more to them than just turn.
There should be a manual with screwdrivers because some people, especially with Phillips head, will absolutely fuck up the screw heads. Torx aka Hex superiority 🙌🏼✨
Running shoes are often rated for 250-300 miles. They may look still intact, but support and breakdown. So If they are old or you walk or run more than 250-300 a season recommend new ones for workouts.
There are a surprising amount of actors who run/ran bars or snack bars, even non-retired. Awesome that Garnt got to meet Tobayama Bunmei, I'm a big fan of Japanese live-action films and he's been in a few that are great (and a lot of pink films, which isn't surprising given the time period he was most active).
22:18 My guess to why they look the same is probably because the people who built these castles are small in number and they probably found a very efficient way to make these buildings so the school of thought was not diverse or had the need to be diverse.
For dad knowledge in my case it's a combination of stuff my dad taught me, workshop subject in school, curiosity and youtube tutorial videos, actually needing to learn basic stuff in the house cause we can't always hire specialist and repairmen, and hanging out with old dudes even when I was a kid.
I kinda get what Connor means with castles being the same... Like obviously the major ones like Osaka etc. kinda stand out, but that's moreso because of just the scale of it and the castle park around it, but it still looks very much like pretty much any other big castle. And with smaller castles the similarities seem even greater. For example I visited Hikone and Hikone Castle and I have seen several videos and pictures of people traveling japan where I thought they were actually in Hikone because it looks so much like the same castle. Even down to the pathways up to the castle sometimes. Also just wanna say that they are still beautiful, but I do understand the point of them all kinda looking the same...
Brightonian (or near enough) here, you're pretty much bang on. Recent developments you've missed though is the east asian population now growing big enough to get some interesting stuff. Lotta ramen places, a One Piece themed bandai store, and a shiny new supermarket for SEA snacks. Baka Neko is still kicking around too. Churchill Square is gonna be replaced with an Ikea though. It was so empty they bought the whole damn thing.
My 60yo dad thought he could rewire the kitchen in the house they live in. Now if you hit the wrong switch in the kitchen, the front hall lights don’t work
I have a Zundamon figure. I love her backstory ( a character created to reflect the culture of the Tohoku region of Japan after the 2011 natural disaster. She was created to fund the region and cheer up residents. She can be used commercially for local Japanese businesses and is also a vocal aid like Hatsune Miku. Her design is based on Zundo / Zundamochi. She was created alongside after the main Tohoku representative character. ❤️ 💚
Idk about the UK but in France we have tons of very different castle. Depending on the era they were built, how rich was their owner, was it first purpose a fortress or a manor, this make for a lot of type of castle. Also the inside of every castle can be just as interesting if not more as the outside. Most of those had inhabitants until very recently or still do to this day.
I feel like “dad knowledge” really just depends on the environment you grow up in. I’m from a small town in Canada where long drives and doing your own renovations and repairs to your house is just the way of life . At 25 I can confidently say that I’ve acquired lots of what some might consider as “dad knowledge” however put me in a larger city and I have difficulty navigating around simple areas. As people we learn from our experiences and our knowledge is just a reflection of that. “Dad knowledge” isn’t a generational thing so much as a situational thing.
liverpool resident here, we won city of culture in 2008 i remeber we had a special coin / medal thing for it, and some LCR culture awards and also we held eurovision on the royal albert dock right outside my work in 2023
Just came back from my Japan trip, following the itinerary from Chris with slight modifications since I stayed a few days longer. My least favorite city was Kyoto. The amount of tourists was insane, felt somehow worst than Tokyo and it just ruined the city for me. I also disliked Hiroshima because of a similar reason. They did NOT control the capacity of the museum, you could not take your time or learn it so we just walked out. My favorite places ended up like Kanazawa, Takayama and Yokohama. The former two I got to experience the old traditional Japan streets while actually being able to breathe.
I loved Kyoto and Hiroshima but specifically the non-tourist places. I had a very long walk through Hiroshima's streets and the city is just beautiful. In Kyoto the locals were incredible if you interacted with them beyond getting services. But I agree that the museum and Fushimi Inari were stressful with the excess of tourists. I wish Tik Tok didn't funnel that much tourism to Japan only, though Im glad the locals can benefit from the revenue.
Yeah Kyoto famously gets super swamped, it’s probably the biggest overseas tourist destination for folks interested in cultural stuff so it just gets super packed
Did the shimanami kaido in august just before covid happend , started when the store in Onomichi opened and was at the store in Imabari about 15 minutes before it closed , it wasn't de distance or the bridge run-ups that hurt but the heat , every second vendingmachine I was chugging juice and pocari don't think I had to pee till I was in the station waiting to go back to Onomichi.
I agree with Connor that the UK castles have more variety. The Japanese castles seem to have one main building that looks similar. British castles seem to sprawl out more so have different layouts.
Since Japan is prone to earthquakes, castles were built using similar construction techniques to withstand them. Also, More than 99% of Japan's castles have not survived to the present day.
Lol his whole argument was falling apart when he said Welsh to german 😂 Even all the Welsh ones look the same, but idk about the rest of the UK to Welsh pipeline
Hear me out. Japan has the gacha of castles. Coz when a castle does stand out for a good reason it’s SS teir, most of them are like A teir. Whereas UKs differences don’t have the same effect because of how different they all are…
Comparing an amalgamation of several countries to one country is a pretty poor way to make a point. It was funny when they pulled up the pictures of Japanese castles and they varied just as much as the previous castles.
1:14:57 it's because for a lot of Asian traveling to Europe or America is much more expensive than for European traveling to Asia, so they make it for some people who didn't have expenses to go to Europe or America
"The Hill"... Kiro San is a mountain dudes, it is over 300m high! ( and I walked all the way to the top ^^ I was here thinking an eBike would make my life a lot easier next time, lol )
They didn't have youtube tutorials back in the day, but they did have Haynes manuals for like every car. So you'd just buy your car's manual and it tells you, with pictures and diagrams, how to fix everything. Similarly they sold like "houses in a box" from like Sears and crap which gave you all the materials and a guide to build a house. Then it was just a matter of either someone else more knowledgeable helping you out, or figuring it out yourself. I think the skill that is lost the most because we are in the era of ULTRA laziness and convenience is just basic troubleshooting.
As an architect student majoring in historical building I'm totally agreeing with Connor on the castle discussion. Its mainly because European countries were used to cultural exchange, different styles were popular in different periods (french, italian spanish etc) so even countries like Poland imported architects from other countries (for example from italy) to build their shit resulting in differences in style throughout the years. Also there is a massive division in the usage of castle, early castles were strictly defensive while later ones were often a symbol of wealth of their owners, so they tend to be decorative also making them look different (you wouldn't want our castle look the same as other's right? how would you tell others you're richer and better) . Also castles were COLORFUL, they used to paint them in HUGE variety of colors, it's just they obviopusly didn't use modern paint so they just faded away making them look like they were just all bricks/stone. On the other hand Japan for example was more isolated culturally, the only influence was China that was also isolated (mainly because they were a local superpower, there wasn't any other country near them that could culturally influence them) All of that makes their architectural style very still. The forms didnt change though hundreds of years, the only thing changed was materials. That's why if you reconstruct them using modern technology, they end up very simillar to each other. That's at least m opinion since im not an expert on japanese architecture. its just my reasoning
I live in Shimane and people say "ughhh it's so boring" and that it's the worst place in japan for that reason. I think it's great for that reason, no annoying arse tourists. Most inconvenient place in Japan probably lol 3.5 hrs to go to a useful airport on the train.
UA-cam taught me how to work on my car so well in fact that I often do work on my dad’s cars when he has a problem. High school wood shop and welding also afforded me “dad knowledge.”
In regards to dad knowledge, my father has a giant book that he's had for idk how long that has instructions on how to pretty much fix everything around a house. Toilets, lights, showers. You name it
My friend and I tried Shimanami Kaido several years ago, starting from around 2 pm. We read about it online that it is suitable for new starters and the people who do not exercise much. We rented regular bikes. IT IS HARD. We stopped half way and stayed in one of the islands. The soundest sleep I had my whole life. Next day we decided to give up and return the bike.😢 the view is beautiful and we decided to challenge it again when we are fully prepared, physically and men
57:48 Fuji Q Highland's ride Eejanaika is worse, you go up facing backwards looking down, when it drops you're still backwards so you drop while looking at the sky, but when you're near the ground the chair rotates to set you forward + upside down and it feels like you're about to hit your head to the ground. that ride is so crazy you lose sense of balance because the chair rotates 360° vertically
I got my "dad knowledge" from just having to learn from various sources including a dad. Im 22 so I can work on a car, pain a wall, fix something that is broken on surface level. And I agree with the mentality of "while you grinded those levels, I studied the blade" You can do both, but more on one side rather than the other.
Actually, Connor, castles where “painted” white, the lime whitewash just deteriorated over time leaving the stones. I do agree that European castles on average look a lot different from each other compared to Japanese castles.
0:27 Its just instincts init. I personally feel that if you have seen someone else do it once as a baby you learn from them without realising it 4:50 Who else remembers Joey and Soul's Collab visit to Chichibu 😂 man I feel old now 😂
I was over theme parks after the first time as a kid. Getting there, waiting in line for minutes of entertainment. So much wasted time for something so fledting.
talking about selling points of the city where I came from (Indonesian btw), it has a very tasty chicken skewer called satay/sate and a traditional art called Reyog or Reog. Latest news about it was probably when Malaysian claimed that art.
One of the best moments of my year was definitely waking up randomly to a stream and suddenly Lud is walking off a cliff on the glider, GOATED stream pull
39:39 140 km is doable with training. Get a Zwift/Peloton and stream how many maps you can take first place in. Edit: Connor, trust me. Cycling is _well_ able to exhaust even a UA-camr’s budget. The proper amount of bicycles to own is N+1.
Life hack for thrill parks: my family used to bring our own lunch. Bringing some kimbap instead of paying for overpriced hot dogs is so much better~~~ EDIT: I am the handyperson of my family because my father doesn't know how to do most things, and I figured stuff out while growing up~
1:34:00 as soon as they started talking about food you ate as a kid but don't see anymore I was like "fish sticks". So I laughed when that was what Garnt immediately went to lol.
The stuff Garnt is worried about with the lane assist on a Toyota can be tailored to you tolerance. It's actually pretty nice. The cruise control that can adjust for cars in front of you is kind of wild because you don't realize it's doing it.
joey, now that you're at an adult fish fingers are not good. They are like a sliver of fish surrounded by breading. For twice the price essentially(lol) you can get a whole cod fillet in beer batter right next to the fish fingers and it's a lot better.
I love a pebble beach because sand is irritating and it gets everywhere. Also, the theme park takes are so bad. I’m older and still love rollercoasters. The new Thorpe park ride is incredible!
Wrecked my knee doing the Simanami Kaido this April and rode my first road bike. "Accidentally" did back and forth just loved that route so much. 100% doing it again ❤
1:25:20 I kind of got my dad knowledge by living with a single mother most of my life and fixing stuff. Also fixing stuff in Uni. Gradually just got more and more tools, got a 3D printers, had to use power tools for projects, etc. The apartment is quite old and I own it, so a water connection would break, facets would break, on and on. there ye go
Liked rollercoasters a lot as a kid, but already in my teen years I had a realization where "I dont think lining up for 15+ minutes is worth it for this" and havent been to a amusement park where the focus was the rides in like 10 years now I do def think getting older is part of it for most people too and there are many similar things most of us would rather do 😅
In terms of dad knowledge I have no dad knowledge. My dad knows that stuff, I'm 28 and my dad will still yell at me for 3 hours for holding a flashlight at a slightly wrong angle. Let me walk away because I'm useless standing there and I get yelled at for walking away, meanwhile I'm not doing all that much while I'm there anyways. That being said, my dad is very good at what he does, I just don't think he knows how to really teach me to pass the knowledge on.
1:25:25 - I get it by just doing things tbh. Toilet doesn’t flush well? Need to replace car tire? Want to install a new lightswitch or paint a wall? Etc? I just google it, then do it myself.
The food Connor is talking about isn't katsuoboshi, that's the flakes. He's talking about tataki katsuo which is Katsuo that's seared over an open flame.

The biggest thing that makes every European Castle unique, Connor just didn't explain it well enough, was that it fit the land it was built on.
What does that mean? Well, imagine minecraft. When you build a house, you flatten some land, right?
You don't do that for castles. You find a suitable and defensible spot, like a hill or a river crossing, and you build the castle to make full use of the geography. The design principles will remain the same, but the footprint will always look different.
Looking at just the keep does not help the argument, as they also follow the "principle design", of which there are a few depending on the century.

Corfe Castle is a good example of one, I believe.
Im 34 and got my dad knowledge from working like over a dozen odd jobs over the years. I know like everything about installing an hvac system and also how to run a gas station by myself. It builds up knowledge working different stuff. You land on what makes you happy and content.
Can't wait to send you guys my Headphones. Yall need the BASS

Hey Z 👋
I'm 35 and I have massive amounts of dad knowledge between helping him build our house and fix machines for his work or our own cars. So I'll share with you the secret for gaining dad knowledge put yourself in a position to do something you've never done before and screw it up several times but have it not be the end of the world. Wanna learn woodworking? Start out building something that doesn't matter out of scrap wood or pallets don't go buy a big slab of mahogany because you will do it wrong and then not be able to afford or want to do it again but if you build like 10 birdhouses out of trash the 10th one might look okay and you'll have learned along the way.
Joey not knowing how to be a dad at first min of the vid is crazy
Haha, screw driver is such a low bar I mean come on joey
You’d be surprised how many people get righty tighty lefty loosey wrong or strip a screw bc they never learned from their dad😂
@@mario98730 I personally learned the rule from remembering the clock.
I thought he was just making the point that some skills are inherent and you don't need to have anyone teach you.
@@_A.t.g I mean Joey clearly had his Dad do all the work for him but then again, not sure if his dad at least tried to make him get interested with the hobbies he does. But who knows. I didn't even knew how do an oil change let alone change a tire until around college when I started driving and slowly get into cars thanks to somewhat of my brother and cousin letting me borrow his tools to mess with my car lol.
Boys, as someone who's been here since #01, I just want to say how happy and proud I am for you guys. Keep going
U sound like Ludwig
Word for word copy of the top comment in the last video…
No one asked
That nagasaki holland village looks cool. Gonna add that to my list of things to visit in Japan.
20:11 Why is Conor comparing the totality of Europe to just Japan. Castles in one individual country looks the same, castles across a continent looks different. Castles in England look the same, but differ from Castles in Wales. Castles in Japan look the same but differ from castles in China. Castles look the same in countries and differ across continents…
You don't get the dad knowledge, Dad knowledge comes to you when you become a dad
Nah, I got the dad knowledge when I started living on my own (I'm a woman in my 30s)
As many people use the wrong size screwdriver and strip out screw heads or round over the the tip of the screw driver itself there is definitely a little more to them than just turn.
There should be a manual with screwdrivers because some people, especially with Phillips head, will absolutely fuck up the screw heads.

Famous last words: "I think I have the physical capability to do a backflip"
Running shoes are often rated for 250-300 miles. They may look still intact, but support and breakdown. So If they are old or you walk or run more than 250-300 a season recommend new ones for workouts.
The dad knowledge I've acquired is that getting milk is a lifelong quest.
There are a surprising amount of actors who run/ran bars or snack bars, even non-retired. Awesome that Garnt got to meet Tobayama Bunmei, I'm a big fan of Japanese live-action films and he's been in a few that are great (and a lot of pink films, which isn't surprising given the time period he was most active).
22:18 My guess to why they look the same is probably because the people who built these castles are small in number and they probably found a very efficient way to make these buildings so the school of thought was not diverse or had the need to be diverse.
Its Connors room, you dont have the watch the rest
LMAOOO
Stopping kids from saying first

For dad knowledge in my case it's a combination of stuff my dad taught me, workshop subject in school, curiosity and youtube tutorial videos, actually needing to learn basic stuff in the house cause we can't always hire specialist and repairmen, and hanging out with old dudes even when I was a kid.
I kinda get what Connor means with castles being the same... Like obviously the major ones like Osaka etc. kinda stand out, but that's moreso because of just the scale of it and the castle park around it, but it still looks very much like pretty much any other big castle. And with smaller castles the similarities seem even greater. For example I visited Hikone and Hikone Castle and I have seen several videos and pictures of people traveling japan where I thought they were actually in Hikone because it looks so much like the same castle. Even down to the pathways up to the castle sometimes.
Also just wanna say that they are still beautiful, but I do understand the point of them all kinda looking the same...
5:47 Still makes me jealous that Connor can just casually say he's had a conversation with Jotaro.
Brightonian (or near enough) here, you're pretty much bang on. Recent developments you've missed though is the east asian population now growing big enough to get some interesting stuff. Lotta ramen places, a One Piece themed bandai store, and a shiny new supermarket for SEA snacks. Baka Neko is still kicking around too.
Churchill Square is gonna be replaced with an Ikea though. It was so empty they bought the whole damn thing.
My 60yo dad thought he could rewire the kitchen in the house they live in. Now if you hit the wrong switch in the kitchen, the front hall lights don’t work
i just moved to japan so im binging all their podcasts to feel included lmao this was brilliant timing!
I have a Zundamon figure. I love her backstory ( a character created to reflect the culture of the Tohoku region of Japan after the 2011 natural disaster. She was created to fund the region and cheer up residents. She can be used commercially for local Japanese businesses and is also a vocal aid like Hatsune Miku. Her design is based on Zundo / Zundamochi. She was created alongside after the main Tohoku representative character. ❤️ 💚
Idk about the UK but in France we have tons of very different castle. Depending on the era they were built, how rich was their owner, was it first purpose a fortress or a manor, this make for a lot of type of castle.
Also the inside of every castle can be just as interesting if not more as the outside. Most of those had inhabitants until very recently or still do to this day.
I feel like “dad knowledge” really just depends on the environment you grow up in. I’m from a small town in Canada where long drives and doing your own renovations and repairs to your house is just the way of life . At 25 I can confidently say that I’ve acquired lots of what some might consider as “dad knowledge” however put me in a larger city and I have difficulty navigating around simple areas. As people we learn from our experiences and our knowledge is just a reflection of that. “Dad knowledge” isn’t a generational thing so much as a situational thing.
liverpool resident here, we won city of culture in 2008 i remeber we had a special coin / medal thing for it, and some LCR culture awards and also we held eurovision on the royal albert dock right outside my work in 2023
That "bitch please" look Garnt is giving in the thumbnail is giving me life
Fish don't have fingers, though? I've never seen a fish clipping his nails...Are they talking about fish sticks?
Just came back from my Japan trip, following the itinerary from Chris with slight modifications since I stayed a few days longer.
My least favorite city was Kyoto. The amount of tourists was insane, felt somehow worst than Tokyo and it just ruined the city for me.
I also disliked Hiroshima because of a similar reason. They did NOT control the capacity of the museum, you could not take your time or learn it so we just walked out.
My favorite places ended up like Kanazawa, Takayama and Yokohama. The former two I got to experience the old traditional Japan streets while actually being able to breathe.
I loved Kyoto and Hiroshima but specifically the non-tourist places.
I had a very long walk through Hiroshima's streets and the city is just beautiful. In Kyoto the locals were incredible if you interacted with them beyond getting services.
But I agree that the museum and Fushimi Inari were stressful with the excess of tourists. I wish Tik Tok didn't funnel that much tourism to Japan only, though Im glad the locals can benefit from the revenue.
Yeah Kyoto famously gets super swamped, it’s probably the biggest overseas tourist destination for folks interested in cultural stuff so it just gets super packed
Did the shimanami kaido in august just before covid happend , started when the store in Onomichi opened and was at the store in Imabari about 15 minutes before it closed , it wasn't de distance or the bridge run-ups that hurt but the heat , every second vendingmachine I was chugging juice and pocari don't think I had to pee till I was in the station waiting to go back to Onomichi.
I agree with Connor that the UK castles have more variety. The Japanese castles seem to have one main building that looks similar. British castles seem to sprawl out more so have different layouts.
Probably because Japan is more homogenous compared to all of Britain
Since Japan is prone to earthquakes, castles were built using similar construction techniques to withstand them. Also, More than 99% of Japan's castles have not survived to the present day.
Lol his whole argument was falling apart when he said Welsh to german 😂 Even all the Welsh ones look the same, but idk about the rest of the UK to Welsh pipeline
Hear me out.
Japan has the gacha of castles. Coz when a castle does stand out for a good reason it’s SS teir, most of them are like A teir. Whereas UKs differences don’t have the same effect because of how different they all are…
Comparing an amalgamation of several countries to one country is a pretty poor way to make a point. It was funny when they pulled up the pictures of Japanese castles and they varied just as much as the previous castles.
1:14:57 it's because for a lot of Asian traveling to Europe or America is much more expensive than for European traveling to Asia, so they make it for some people who didn't have expenses to go to Europe or America
I have no dad knowledge, I just ask my dad for help cause he seems to know it all fr
"The Hill"... Kiro San is a mountain dudes, it is over 300m high! ( and I walked all the way to the top ^^ I was here thinking an eBike would make my life a lot easier next time, lol )
“Row you feel like Zeus ‘cause you’re like separating the sea”
Connor somehow managed to confuse Zeus, Poseidon and Moses in one sentence.
28:10 connor, making his ancestors proud.
Smile and wave connor, The peasants are showing their appreciation.
The 7/11 shirt is so funny 😂
They didn't have youtube tutorials back in the day, but they did have Haynes manuals for like every car. So you'd just buy your car's manual and it tells you, with pictures and diagrams, how to fix everything. Similarly they sold like "houses in a box" from like Sears and crap which gave you all the materials and a guide to build a house. Then it was just a matter of either someone else more knowledgeable helping you out, or figuring it out yourself. I think the skill that is lost the most because we are in the era of ULTRA laziness and convenience is just basic troubleshooting.
As an architect student majoring in historical building I'm totally agreeing with Connor on the castle discussion. Its mainly because European countries were used to cultural exchange, different styles were popular in different periods (french, italian spanish etc) so even countries like Poland imported architects from other countries (for example from italy) to build their shit resulting in differences in style throughout the years. Also there is a massive division in the usage of castle, early castles were strictly defensive while later ones were often a symbol of wealth of their owners, so they tend to be decorative also making them look different (you wouldn't want our castle look the same as other's right? how would you tell others you're richer and better) . Also castles were COLORFUL, they used to paint them in HUGE variety of colors, it's just they obviopusly didn't use modern paint so they just faded away making them look like they were just all bricks/stone.
On the other hand Japan for example was more isolated culturally, the only influence was China that was also isolated (mainly because they were a local superpower, there wasn't any other country near them that could culturally influence them) All of that makes their architectural style very still. The forms didnt change though hundreds of years, the only thing changed was materials. That's why if you reconstruct them using modern technology, they end up very simillar to each other. That's at least m opinion since im not an expert on japanese architecture. its just my reasoning
1:25:22 UA-cam is everyone's Dad, but having your own house helps with learning Dad Knowledge.
I live in Shimane and people say "ughhh it's so boring" and that it's the worst place in japan for that reason. I think it's great for that reason, no annoying arse tourists. Most inconvenient place in Japan probably lol 3.5 hrs to go to a useful airport on the train.
In my case the answer for my "dad knowledge" is very simple: I grew up poor.
UA-cam taught me how to work on my car so well in fact that I often do work on my dad’s cars when he has a problem. High school wood shop and welding also afforded me “dad knowledge.”
Zunda Mochi is Gojo’s favourite dessert
In regards to dad knowledge, my father has a giant book that he's had for idk how long that has instructions on how to pretty much fix everything around a house. Toilets, lights, showers. You name it
My friend and I tried Shimanami Kaido several years ago, starting from around 2 pm. We read about it online that it is suitable for new starters and the people who do not exercise much. We rented regular bikes. IT IS HARD. We stopped half way and stayed in one of the islands. The soundest sleep I had my whole life. Next day we decided to give up and return the bike.😢 the view is beautiful and we decided to challenge it again when we are fully prepared, physically and men
57:48 Fuji Q Highland's ride Eejanaika is worse, you go up facing backwards looking down, when it drops you're still backwards so you drop while looking at the sky, but when you're near the ground the chair rotates to set you forward + upside down and it feels like you're about to hit your head to the ground. that ride is so crazy you lose sense of balance because the chair rotates 360° vertically
I got my "dad knowledge" from just having to learn from various sources including a dad. Im 22 so I can work on a car, pain a wall, fix something that is broken on surface level. And I agree with the mentality of "while you grinded those levels, I studied the blade" You can do both, but more on one side rather than the other.
Actually, Connor, castles where “painted” white, the lime whitewash just deteriorated over time leaving the stones.
I do agree that European castles on average look a lot different from each other compared to Japanese castles.
In games when encountering a Japanese castle you are thinking"sick a safe spot". When you see a European castle your like: "do I have enough potions?"
0:27 Its just instincts init. I personally feel that if you have seen someone else do it once as a baby you learn from them without realising it
4:50 Who else remembers Joey and Soul's Collab visit to Chichibu 😂 man I feel old now 😂
Japan is opening up a bunch of trail systems. I truly think Connor's next cycling challenge is to learn how to mountain bike.
I hope next episode, Joey talks about the Art of Murder!
Connor is that friend who's in a different country anytime they text
I was over theme parks after the first time as a kid. Getting there, waiting in line for minutes of entertainment. So much wasted time for something so fledting.
talking about selling points of the city where I came from (Indonesian btw), it has a very tasty chicken skewer called satay/sate and a traditional art called Reyog or Reog. Latest news about it was probably when Malaysian claimed that art.
Connor: cuz you would, uh hate to have me die...
Joey/Garnt: (instantly) well obviously.
If this isnt just the vibe of their bond in general...
One of the best moments of my year was definitely waking up randomly to a stream and suddenly Lud is walking off a cliff on the glider, GOATED stream pull
39:39 140 km is doable with training.
Get a Zwift/Peloton and stream how many maps you can take first place in.
Edit: Connor, trust me. Cycling is _well_ able to exhaust even a UA-camr’s budget. The proper amount of bicycles to own is N+1.
The cycling special was so goated no other special comes close to me
Life hack for thrill parks: my family used to bring our own lunch. Bringing some kimbap instead of paying for overpriced hot dogs is so much better~~~
EDIT: I am the handyperson of my family because my father doesn't know how to do most things, and I figured stuff out while growing up~
1:34:00 as soon as they started talking about food you ate as a kid but don't see anymore I was like "fish sticks". So I laughed when that was what Garnt immediately went to lol.
this is the best podcasty podcast episode, i love it
The stuff Garnt is worried about with the lane assist on a Toyota can be tailored to you tolerance. It's actually pretty nice. The cruise control that can adjust for cars in front of you is kind of wild because you don't realize it's doing it.
joey, now that you're at an adult fish fingers are not good. They are like a sliver of fish surrounded by breading. For twice the price essentially(lol) you can get a whole cod fillet in beer batter right next to the fish fingers and it's a lot better.
I'm with Joey I'm deathly afraid of sheer drops and rollercoasters but I love mountain climbing,hiking, that kind of stuff.
I love a pebble beach because sand is irritating and it gets everywhere. Also, the theme park takes are so bad. I’m older and still love rollercoasters. The new Thorpe park ride is incredible!
Wrecked my knee doing the Simanami Kaido this April and rode my first road bike. "Accidentally" did back and forth just loved that route so much. 100% doing it again ❤
Connor: I never impulse buying things
Meanwhile connor in Temu: ooh this looks sick, look at this thing, im buying it, auto buy😂
I'm rly glad to have this quality fun content at the end of the week
Honestly, I just want to see a Trash Taste parents special one day. No idea what it would be like but just the idea sounds amazing.
1:25:20
I kind of got my dad knowledge by living with a single mother most of my life and fixing stuff. Also fixing stuff in Uni.
Gradually just got more and more tools, got a 3D printers, had to use power tools for projects, etc.
The apartment is quite old and I own it, so a water connection would break, facets would break, on and on.
there ye go
Liked rollercoasters a lot as a kid, but already in my teen years I had a realization where "I dont think lining up for 15+ minutes is worth it for this" and havent been to a amusement park where the focus was the rides in like 10 years now
I do def think getting older is part of it for most people too and there are many similar things most of us would rather do 😅
In terms of dad knowledge I have no dad knowledge. My dad knows that stuff, I'm 28 and my dad will still yell at me for 3 hours for holding a flashlight at a slightly wrong angle. Let me walk away because I'm useless standing there and I get yelled at for walking away, meanwhile I'm not doing all that much while I'm there anyways. That being said, my dad is very good at what he does, I just don't think he knows how to really teach me to pass the knowledge on.
1:25:25 - I get it by just doing things tbh.
Toilet doesn’t flush well? Need to replace car tire? Want to install a new lightswitch or paint a wall? Etc?
I just google it, then do it myself.
The food Connor is talking about isn't katsuoboshi, that's the flakes. He's talking about tataki katsuo which is Katsuo that's seared over an open flame.
