  • I traveled a little outside Hakodate to catch a ride to Noboribetsu, my first ride in Hokkaido during my trip from Kagoshima to Wakkanai.
    I walk from the station to a point where I think I can get a ride ...

    It's funny how people complain about the video quality and even unsubscribe because of that. I guess it's part of the same "technical quality before intellectual content" trend that brought 3D to cinema. I could watch Only in Japan in 144p and still enjoy it. Cheers!

      Right!. Put this into perspective. We are watching a guy, live, via his mobile phone, from all parts of the world and we still complain about picture quality.
      I think some people just lose sight of the broader picture/ first world problems.
      This trip is so awesome becasue it is like i am hitch hiking through Japan - from the comfort of my home.

      his on Live Stream, live stream from smart phone do not support HD mostly for fast stream you can't set it in any option, so if you watch his video on a crappy image, that was recorded live.

    Fun fact about the "US could've used the metric"; they are. They signed the treaty of the metre and all imperial units are defined in SI-units.
    So all scales made in the US are either directly or indirectly calibrated via one of the National copies the US has; K-4, 20, 79, 85 or 92. Length and other types of units are converted from their SI-definitions (inch == 25.4 millimetre, gallon == 4 546.09 milliliter etc)

    When can I go back to Hakodate again. I miss Hakodate and the shinkensan and the snow. You are so lucky to be in Japan all these times.

    This reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest out in the fields...and at the crossroads. In the movie, Cary Grant is actually trying to get a ride...hitchhike, until a plane spots him and tries to kill him. Excellent movie! I am thoroughly joying this trip. I looked it up and looks like your DVD is for sale ($35) from your shop. Although I don't have Google Pay, but I want to buy the DVD! You have teased about some of the stuff that is on the DVD. I can't wait to watch it! 😍

    The Shinkansen doesn't go to Sapporo, yet. It won't be completed until possibly 2031. 😕 It only reaches to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto. Then it is the train from there to Sapporo, for about 3 1/2 hours. Definitely not bullet train speed.

    3:41 I was always under the impression that escalator etiquette in Japan was that the stationary riders all stay on one specific side of the stairs so that others may continue walking down or up. I'm not seeing that here, I welcome any explanation?

      George Ye I think he realized after taking that whole hike to that spot that his plan for the day was not a great one and infact he may have put himself in a very difficult situation. Plus he is probably very tired, and I know when I am tired I tend to get more crazy in my mood, could be that. Still, IMO overall he was still his same awesome nice self. :)

    Why did you not ride on the small Shinkansen from Hakodate and doing hitch hiking instead?
