Japan trip is Amazing 😍
Thanks Zane for uploading your vlogs, always love to see you enjoy Japan!
Hiroshima has a sad history, but the city is beautiful, Miyajima is amazing, the people are nice and the food is the best. I live in Tokyo, but I always want to go back to Hiroshima. I hope you'll like it.
People are very nice in Hiroshima!
I recommend staying at least one night in a Ryokan on the island of Miyajima... It's totally worth it!!!
I had the same impression, the people of Hiroshima were the nicest I have encountered in Japan so far
I love okonomiyaki, I can't imagine how good it is in japan
Last year, we had really fancy Kobe A5 and Kaiseki dinners, but my favorite meal was a simple and inexpensive okonomiyaki in Osaka near Dotonbori.
Enjoy and taking care to your self and keeping around to exploring
The cake you ate at Tokyo Station is cherry blossoms (さくら/桜) flavor. I could see the word さくら on the package.
This time of the year, you can find many cherry blossoms flavor.
For Japanese, さくらflavor means salted cherry leaves. You can find sakuramochi that is wrapped in the salted cherry leaf (桜の葉の塩漬け). Cherry blossoms themselves have no taste, but when the flowers and leaves are pickled in salt, they have a unique smell and taste.
I’ve started watching your videos and it is very interesting to see all of the places, especially in Japan. I’m keeping up to date with all of these videos, they’re very entertaining!
I've been looking forward to go to Japan for a quite long time, and planning to go there in May. I've watched all of your Japan videos last time when you were there. Hahaha so excited to see you back in Japan and posting new videos.
I’m really digging the transportation infrastructure in Japan… so modernized and clean, almost wish our public transportation in the states could be a bit more invested compared to Japan…
Japan excels in transportation - when I was a kid and went to Japan back in the 60's, it was great as well. I loved the bento boxes :)
Welcome to Hiroshima.😄
Always look forward to your videos and get so happy when i see another upload!! Thank youu
Nice! I love how adventurous you are. Now I want to visit Japan
I'm liking this trip...Feel like traveling there
I really like your Japan Trip! Please go to Tohoku or Hokkaido or Kyushu areas next. I recommend those areas.
Thank you Zane. Enjoy your time in Hiroshima, I have enjoy your vlogs so much.
This makes me so excited to return in October
Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job, work it up! 💪😍👍
I accidentally knew a new UA-camr because UA-cam recommended it to me after I watched your video!
I thought about it for a month and decided to tell you that he looks a lot like you, especially his eyes have soul as yours!
I now suspect that UA-cam introduce similar people together. Maybe you have the same ancestors, I don’t know!

You can check it out above.
Thank you for all the Japan videos. I am going there with my son this September. These have been and will be super helpful. Especially buying the Shinkansen tickets with Klook.
Tip- Don't use Apps to buy train tickets in Japan.
Just use the machines at the stations like Japanese people do.
They are easy to use and in English.
Another fun and interesting vlog!
Love this
It's funny that you got SmartEX setup, but didn't bother to link your Mobile Suica to it and just tap through the Shinkansen gate.
Also not sure about what's so chaotic about the Shinkansen. It's pretty easy and straight forward to use.
I'm so happy you've gone. It makes my goal of traveling from Tokyo to Hiroshima seem so possible, I'm avidly taking notes!
I love your videos..so much info. You show alot of things others dont snd i love that! We will be going to japan next year from AUSTRALIA ..so your vlogs are helpful 😊
Another great video 🍜 super informative and eased my worries about catching the bullet trains.
there two styles of okonomiyaki ,Osaka style and Hiroshima style, and both argue that theyre the mainstream. Im from Hiroshima, so i hope zane prefers hiroshima one(^^)
I'm pretty sure it can be pretty stressful and feels chaotic when navigating Tokyo subway/train system till you really get used to it.
My friend came visit me from the US for the first time and one day he ventured out on his own without much knowledge and he got completely overwhelmed! It's pretty well thought system, but a lot of signage can still be confusing (even to me as a Japanese who's born and raised in Tokyo).
Zane's doing pretty good job at figuring out his way for his 2nd trip to Japan!
Also don't worry too much about filming on Shinkansen! As long as you're not overly loud or talking for the entire trip, you should be fine...
Love from America, you inspired me to visit Southeast Asia. Will be going next year. Your videos are some of the most informative and also fun to watch!
Love your videos❤🎉🎉
Great video!
i'm one of the lurkers of your channel, been here since your first Japan video! love the vids
Love your videos 😊😊😊
Shinkansen sistem is perfect
Welcome to Hiroshima. Hope you have a nice time. You'll get a lot of stuff.
Getting to Tokyo station an hour early is very good idea! I am a Japanese but I do same. (when I am not travering for business) Because there are so much to see within the station and it's so big. You can have good workout before hop on the shinkansen and sit for a while.
hey zane! Looks like you're having a great time in Japan! And thanks for all the great content! I've been lucky enough to visit Japan many times, so if you're looking for great Hiroshima Okonomiyaki, try Nagataya. And don't forget to order one of their LARGE 'nama-birus' (Draft Beer)
Just got back from Japan, was there from March 2nd - 16th, wish i knew you were there, would have loved to buy you a drink. Also your first trip to Japan videos helped inspire my trip I just took, so thank you!
Shinkansen is supposed to be very sophisticated and modern. The only chaotic scene was all the people scrambling to find their train. Enjoy Hiroshima and go find an Onsen to relax in. Japan is notorious for hot springs whether in public settings or you can book your own Onsen Hotel room. Safe travels!
Agree. My wife and I are "onsen toown hopper." We recently visited several beautiful but underrated places such as Yumura, Shiobara and Iizaki.
広島電鉄の路面電車の車両がカッコいいな✨
Man if you were in Tokyo next month around the 15th would of been cool to meet up for some beers!
This is my first time visiting Japan. The signage for which route to follow is pretty easy for a newcomer like me. I have not gotten lost yet. When I took the Shinkansen this week from Tokyo to Kyoto, I made a mistake in going to the incorrect station. Luckily the station agent told me that I still can ride in Shinagawa Station but the time is 640a instead of of 633a in Tokyo Station. Just then I realize that the station is printed on the ticket. I will be going from Kyoto to Osaka on regular JR instead of JR Shinkansen.
I noticed the same thing about food ratings in general on google maps! The japanese are absolutely brutal in their reviews, but I've never had a bad meal in japan. anything above a 4 is going to be stellar, even below that is still probably amazing tbh
Wow. Tokyo is crazy. Train are so modern but complicated to move! Mexico needs trains like that.
Lol Shinkansen is the easiest most intuitive experience.
takes me back to the time my anxiety was so bad because i couldnt get out of shinjuku station 😭 took me half an hour!!
10:38 You needed to tap your phone (suica) because you arrived to tokyo station and you never left tokyo station. Entering the Shinkensen platform is the same as leaving tokyo station; thus you needed to tap out using your phone (suica). When you arrived at your final destination, you only need to insert your ticket to get out of the shinkensen.
I’ve been travelling all over Thailand north and south since 2003, my wife who is here with me in the London uk is from north east Thailand, we going to Thailand and Philippines on the 11th April, Vietnam looks like the place to go nowadays
I'm hoping to do the Shinkansen next time I visit. As I was travelling to as much of Tokyo as possible last time it didn't really make sense for me as I only had eight days there. Going to aim for two weeks next time. I hope you're enjoying Hiroshima!
Welcome to Japan !!! I hope one day you settle down in Japan where is the best country i have ever been so far.
Superb video. Really helpful for our impending trip next month.
What is the currency converter app you use that showed incremental amounts? Thank you!
The mobile Suica isn't available for non-Japanese Android devices for some reason, which is a shame. So a physical card is the order of the day. Tho I use the 48hr or 72hr Tokyo Metro Passes which are much cheaper if you make more than 2 or 3 trips a day. I was doing 8 or 9 probably on my last trip to Tokyo!
Hi from Japan😀
I want to travel to japan! Is solo traveling safe?
Extremely safe! Don't hesitate to go if you can.
I'm planning my trip and kinda prepared for it being like London . The underground looks pretty similar and very busy
Hi Welcome to Japan. I used to live in Hiroshima when I was a child. Hiroshima is known for delicious okonomiyaki with yakisoba noodles mixed in.
Zane : Mmm-Hmm... Mmm-Hmmm...
Me : Yep. That's good !
I totally understand.. it’s very confusing if you not familiar with the Japan system! We got lost.. going around in circles at the Tokyo station for over an hour. We finally decided to just j]find a sit down restaurant so we could rest our weary body 😳 and regroup 🤪
Hey Zane, can you expand on your travel-gear sometime? I have watched all of your videos religiously for about 6 months and gotten pretty curious to the 2-backpack setup.
Is it so you can carry everything with you on the plane without checked-in luggage?
I’d love to make a video about that I the future. It’s something I’ve thought about. Thanks for watching 🙏
So chaotic! Glad you make it to Hiroshima. 👍🎉
Ah, I'm booked into that same hotel will be there in a couple of weeks. Looks fine to me and the price was good!
Good video!
I am jealous of you man, you are living in my dream
Love all your videos Zane! The ones from Japan so far are great! Also the Vegas ones were awesome! That place is sick and insane! Thank you for sharing! Also I live very close to you in Philadelphia if you're ever down for grabbing a cheesesteak and beer hmu!🃏🎲
Hi Zane. Great video. You should consider visiting an Onsen. The onsens in Japan are very relaxing brother.
im not sure how your title is correct unless your doing something wrong? the shinkansen system is far from chaotic
I agree. There’s always a lot of people to navigate around but the Shinkansen system itself is perfect.
@@dylanja09 like the shinkansen system was designed entirely for simplicity and ease... i think hes used AI for a title to get click bait
Also, the background image of the thumbnail is AI generated picture which does not exist in reality. I don't like that idea to get clickbait.
@@krysanteemik5686 lots of clickbait out there indeed especially about Japan makes me so angry.... ooh my thumbs are ai lol well not really they are actual scenes from my video so its a real image but cartooned lol
Glad I read these comments before watching the vid. I hate clickbait.
zane what do you do for a living
visit miyajima island, u can reach it by train from hiroshima then a 15min ferry ride. have fun
I feel like if i would be forced to leave my contry and live somewhere else i would live in japan
they make simple food taste nice.
"Wagyu Beef Tongue...I'm not ready for that yet..." It was fate- that was your ekiben!
Japan has a big und stressfree travel system. You definitly doing something wrong!!
If you haven’t already try some Tokyo Banana’s when you’re back in Tokyo!
The trains in Japan seem to be way more confusing and harder to use than in Korea. I've dealt with both alot since I used to live in Korea. Also, Klook is amazing! I can work usually in Japanese and Korean Hangul but Klook makes it so much easier.
The IC card on your phone only works for Iphone or an Android bought in Japan. So basicly most foreigners with an Android will not be able to put a digital IC card on their phone.
I have a foreign iphone and I have my IC card on my phone without any issue.
@@ErykDragonheart that's what they said. iPhone or Japanese Android handset. iPhones are global NFC handsets, Android phones aren't. Apple Watch also works.
You can link your SUICA (number) to your SmartEX then you don't even need to pick up actual tickets. All you need is your SUICA card or your Wallet. The necessary physical ticket will be dispensed at the time you go through the gate.
I love your video bro. My family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 childrem) going tp Japan for the FIRST TIME. Im so glad to see your videos. Can you give us some tips before travel to Japan. We have 10 days in Japan and We are planning to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Oasaka and Hirosima. TIA for the tips.
Our country is perfect!!!
I'll say it again but google maps will literally tell you exaclty what platform which exit/entrance to go into with the subway system. One of the easiest public travel systems in the world.
Hey!when you visit my country Cambodia 🇰🇭, A lot of places to visit especially Angkor Wat temple
Tokyo station is very confusing to you, but it is also fun.
I am going to Japan for the third time in April, to check out Hokkaido and Okinawa, maybe Kanagawa and Sendai. Between Korea and Japan, what did you like better?
Hello fellow traveler. My wife and I have been to Japan 20+ times in the last 25 years and have been to Hokkaido at least 10 times. In fact, we were in Sapporo when the big earthquake hit on 1/1. Anyway, Sendai and Fukushima are now two of our favorite stops partly because of their hot springs. And they are way better than Kanagawa. Have a great trip!
I'm an adventurer just like you! I'm thinking about going further than I ever have away from home for my next trip, but I am scared. People have told me they drink 'Fudd' beer in the town next to me, not 'Duff'. Weirdos, maybe I'll just stay in Springfield. ☹️
Hi from mexico 🇲🇽 😊 zane !!!
Can't download to android wallet unless android phone is bought from. Japan... You should clarify that.
I don't think I would travel there unless I was with someone who knew the systems. I would be lost.
Can you link the name of the Ramen joint?
Sam's bar for a few beers
Doesn’t take a pamphlet to make you look like a tourist, brother 😂
I lost myself with two big luggages at 11pm in shinsuku station, took me two hours to find the correct exit. One of the worst experience ever.
Great channel. Subscribed.
I Hope you enjoyed the Beef Tongue Ekiben 😬😊
Was it beef tongue??? Hahah 😅
@@zanetravel haha yes! I can't read much japanese myself but I watched your vid with my Japanese wife who told me its tongue so I thought I'd let you know! 😁
It reminded me of some meals I've ate in Japan too! Lol - Once I had chicken yakitori only for my wife to then tell me it was chicken "guts" yakitori AFTER I ate it haha.....She always only tells me afterwards to see my reaction 😂
I love japanese food but they don't tend to waste much of the animal (which is good) but we're just not used to certain cuts in the west 😁
Have a great time and looking forward to your next vid 👍
@@manc0079 😂
Chaotic and Shinkansen not sure those two things go together.
히로시마 친구가 있고 정말 좋은곳이죠
It’s one of the easiest train systems in the world.
広島まで行かれたのでしたら、原爆記念館はどこのユーチューバーもアップしているので次回は是非呉まで足を延ばして、帝國海軍最期の海上特攻「大和ミュージアム」を紹介して下さい。
北陸新幹線が、福井県の敦賀まで延伸したので、是非北陸方面にも行ってみて下さい🚆
Daily Japanese tip 2- To ask if someone speaks English say eigo o hannashimasu ka? Ei as in eight. Go as in got. O as in opposite. Ha as in haha. Na as in nah. Shi as in she. Ma as in mart. Su with a silent u making it s.
I always buy ticket in the ofice ,simple as fk,, non reserved is better in case you miss the train you can take next one 😊
Any plans on doing a Japanese McDonald's video?
The Japanese want In n Out Burgers
PLEASE READ ABOUT UNIT 731 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Is this the European UA-camr that fell of a House to a Cliff??
