tnx!
It really makes my day when you put a new video up.
I only found your channel a few years ago and since then I think I've watched all of your videos.
I feel like I've been on a journey with you both.
In my opinion you're the nicest couple on UA-cam with the best channel.
Thanks so much! -E
I love the hate & heart. I love Kyde for being so brave.
I love how Armin is just chillin in that background of your video when you were explaining how close the city is to the Dōgo area. LOLAlso the legend of vagina washer will go down in history.
Haha, with the "legend of the Aomori Bench"
Wait, for this onsen thing you're... nekkid with other people? Is that how this is?
Yea, it's a public bath. Usually gender seperated. -E
@@kydeanderic
You're braver than me!
Are you guys following the rugby world cup in Japan right now?
Not really, haha. -E
@@kydeanderic The Japanese team is getting a lot of media coverage here in the UK. They are big underdogs but they are kicking ass!
That flag was the flag of the Russian imperial navy. It was depicting a battle in the Russo-Japanese war
Awesome, I knew someone would know. -E
Yeah, that flag is called "andreivsky" which means "the flag of st. Andrew"
Kyde: Onsen is my private business, no cameras please!
Also Kyde: Gives us the most detailed play-by-play of other ladies scrubbing every nook and cranny... :-P
Also, hat-hater is just a Grouchy Smurf and mad mad jealous that he doesn't get to do fun things like explore Japan or have a wife...
It’s the Russo- Japanese War. The Russian Navy’s ensign is a blue saltire.
Take care and be carefull with this tajfun storm.
R: "It's his smurf hat"
S: "He's a bit big to be a smurf"
Balloons were used extensively during world war one as observation platforms to spot for artillery & reconaissance & were used for long before that. The French used spotter balloons way back in the late 1700's. I agree by WW1 you'd have to have some guts to be the one in the balloon with aircraft becoming more capable fighting machines in that era.
Eh? I freaking love the beanie, Eric! It’s almost part of you now and I would be pretty sad if you stop wearing it. Also, did Kyde buy that cock shirt?
I haven't been wearing it in the summer, it's too hot. Hahaha.
She didn't buy it, I don't think it fit well. -E
I think it would look better if he just brushed the top so it was angled down and back, instead of sticking up like a cone. It also looked good when his ears were covered, hipster type look.
@@Kaisersozze psh i look dope af
@@kydeanderic ...YEAH ({; D ...!
Thanks for another great video! We're headed there in November. I'll let you know how the inside of the castle is. 😆
I've added that dessert to my list of things to eat. It looks incredible.
Extra thanks to Kyde for the depth of detail about the happenings inside Dogo. I am also not really an onsen person but since this one is "special" AND they allow tattoos, I figure I have to try it. I really like knowing ahead of time what I'm getting into, especially when being naked is involved! (Hopefully the vag scrubber isn't there when I go though. 😳)
Haha, better than getting in dirty bathwater! Have a good time there, its a cool city. -E
I envy you your hats. I only have one beanie style. The rest are the boring billed caps.
There was this similar Tanooki statue by my neighbors house and everytime in the dark I came around the corner and saw it white eyes that seemed to glow in the dark it scared the cucumber out of me. Ramune is not mistranslated, is been fact that is is the wasei-eigo of the word lemonade.
1904-1905 would be fighting with Russia...
You may be right, but I can't find a listing for a battle in October of 1906 (marked on the side of the painting) mentioning Russia. Perhaps the date is the painting creation date and not the date of the event? www.jacar.go.jp/nichiro/nenpyou.htm
Did Russia fly a flag with a cross on it?
Fun mystery, wish there had been someone there to simply ask. Haha. -E
@@kydeanderic It was the Russian Navy flag, still is.
@@kydeanderic According to the very dilute title of the picture, it shows the battle scene of Lushunkou in China between Japan and Russia. I found that the flag was that of Russian navy.
@@akg-vj9rk Thanks! Your ability to read that faded mess is buch better than mine! Haha
Hi Kyde & Eric , as being one of your long term followers and watched every video you have done I have to say its been great to follow your journey , I love how your videos are so informative and the places you go to are beautiful , I also love how you guys have so much fun togeather, , it will be so sad if you two stop sending these great videos to us lucky people , I will never have the opportunity to visit these lovely places so it makes me happy to watch and learn from you guys, thank you so much and may you do many more great videos , looking forward to the next one :-)
Thanks so much for the kind words, Mark. Glad to have you along! -E
I think the only way id feel comfortable in an onsen, Id be junk scrubbing lady cause i hate baths 🤣
Eric, 1905 The Russo-Japanese War
@5:55 ... 100% agreed.
Japan's implementation of maps are *horribly* awful. it's my biggest gripe whenever I visit.
i *DETEST* how they're usually oriented in the direction you're facing; however, i think that has to do w/ how Japanese are taught to read maps as kids.
usually they're taught to keep turning the map in their hands to face the way they're going (similar to how some car GPS Maps tend to auto rotate as you drive).
In a way, I'm glad someone else is as irritated as I am hahaha
Who gives you guys a thumbs down??? You guys are awesome... no thumbs down, only thumbs up 👍🏼
Some people have weird hobbies. -E
So Armin was hanging out on the lookout platform?
Congratulations onthe 50000 followers👍 you deserve more, but still a great milestone.
Stop the hat haterade!
Oh dang! I was in Dogo in May too, so many things I want to comment...
1. Did you stay at Guesthouse Cinnamon Dogo? The owner sent me to eat the same nabeyaki udon at that shop on the corner... Japanese comfort food, yum.
2. I climbed up to the yabusame shrine at night and spooked a real live tanuki off those steps... scared me pretty good too
3. The Karakuri clock in Dogo square is telling little vignettes from the famous novel “Botchan” by Natsume Soseki. He used to have a room in Dogo Onsen where he hung out and did authorly things I guess. A lot of the attraction of the Dogo Onsen area is related to nostalgia for the novel, which most Japanese folks read in childhood (I think)
4. The Tsubaki no Yuu Annex “posh” experience was lovely, rotenburo and all. Matsuyama-jo is indeed legit inside, one of the twelve “original construction” castles in Japan
We didn't stay at Cinnamon Dogo, we just stumbled across the little udon place. You saw a tanuki! Jealous!
Dude who hates on your hat yo! Eric wouldn’t be Eric without the hat! Love the hat!
Also your hats are you! It throws me abit when you aren't wearing one!
I'm so lucky today I've found a un watched video 😁🎯😃😎💚❤✅🐔🐓🐥🐣🐔🐓🐔🐔🐔🐓🐥🐤🐣
🦒🦒🦒🦒🦒
Definitely putting Matsuyama on my Japan Bucket List. The fact that everything was pretty close to the city will be a huge benefit for me when I get there, since I'm too lazy to want to set up public transit or taxis for everything xD The chair lift up to the castle looks awesome, you should totally go back and check out the inside sometime! Didn't you want to ride the little diesel train? It looked super fun. Kyde's description of Vagina Washer's antics was hilarious, what a fun experience. And screw the haters, I think the beanie is kind of your trademark accessory at this point. It looks good on you!
We didn't ride the train b/c of time restraints basically, but now I wonder if you could ride the train over towards the castle.... haha. -E
Figured it was something like that! More to do if you end up going back. And that'd be pretty awesome to ride that little thing over xD
(20:41) Woulda been far better if instead of a 'goofy animated bird' on the Dogo Onsen, they'd have had just a big picture of
....Bjork!
(too subtle?)
lol
Love all your videos. Always find myself re-watching.
my partner says "oh you are watching waldo again" because of the hat.
Found me.
I LOVE you in that hat... haters will be haters.. don't stop wearing it.. it's adorable on you Eric!
When Kyde described the lady at the Onsen , it gave me so many unpleasant but funny visuals
of vagina super scrubber lady... hahahah thanks for the laughs. Can't wait for your next adventure :)
' And it tastes just like bubble gum,do you want some' LOL!!!
Hope you two are okay (The storm Hagibis)
Thanks, we are fine! -E
@@kydeanderic good to hear
Nothing wrong with the hat Eric and if Snow White and your seven little brothers think it's OK, then it should be alright with us.
@21:40 seems like an exciting fight is happening there. The lady with the bucket in hand is about to hit the one on the floor; all the while, two other ladies are trying to hold her back. The yelling has attracted the male worker to see what is going on and the rest of the ladies trying to stay out of that catfight.
やっぱり大好きな二人だな。前に軽自動車アゲインに、希望したものです。
私は湘南住まいです、英語のレベルは、道案内程度です、 待ってます。
*within
1906 the Japanese were at war with Rissia: Japanese Russo war. The flag with an X is the Russian flag. Tsushima (sp?) very famous naval battle between the two where the japanese wa the victor. You can still visit their flagship Mikasa.
Neat, thanks! -E
Actually the war ended in 1905, but the painting could be from 1906.
Kyde gonna whoop some ass if they try and sneak a peek.
I think the small towel is to wrap up your hair.
I was there!! What a beautiful view, I love it.❤
Where is the big bowl restaurant?
Does Ramuné tastes like Red Bull, because I think that tastes like bubblegum too.
Hrm...I don't think so...but I haven't had redbull in a very long time. -E
Definitely not Red Bull taste! Have you ever tried Sprite? Not as carbonated, less sweet and more of a candy flavour on top of Sprites lemon lime taste.
@@lmaree200886 it is propably hard to compare, because the drinks taste different in different countries. In Germany and Holland I think sprite is not very sweet so less sweet would mean it is almost like water 😂🤷♀️ I shall have to go find me some ramuné
Joos Hungerecker- de Bruin I don’t agree completely. I live in Australia and have had my local Sprite and the US imported Sprite and both tastes almost the same just a slight difference, just the sugars were different as we don’t use corn syrup but cane sugar. Ramune tastes just like Sprite with bubblegum (original pink bubblegum flavour like pink Hubba Bubba bubblegum here in Aus or the pink Bazooka gum in the US.
@@lmaree200886 it's okay to not agree with me 😂 I don't agree with me either if you are from Austria and know the same product as me 👍 it means you can make an accurate description of ramuné 😊 still have to get me some to try it though. I love hubba bubba !
Keep the hat, ignore the haters!
Kyde and Eric a question: I like to travel to the non-touristy places in countries: So the places I have in my mind are Chugoku-san-jin, shikoku, kyushu, and tohoku. I have done my research on festivals and geography. Aomori/Hachinohe float festivals, Seto Inland Sea, and beaches on southern Kyushu are the places are top priority for me. What would you suggest and why?
Its really hard to narrow down the list when we don'T personally know the person asking for advise, but I don't think you are going to have a bad trip no matter where you go off that list. Shikoku is a personal favorite of mine, but you have to have a car rented to make the most of it. -E
Of all the castles to *not* go in … lol
Rotate.
Noodle master E!
So excited to see that you visited Matsuyama! I visit by myself in 2014 with very limited Japanese. It made it a little tricky to get around but made it a very interesting experience. You should definitely go back and visit the castle one day, the chair ride up and the grounds are awesome, however the inside of the castle is really authentic, it still one of my favourite experiences in Japan. Also, I couldn't stop laughing when Kyde was talking about the 'angle lady', I'm almost certain that she is the same lady I saw when I went there. I'm pretty relaxed about using an onsen, but this lady made me feel a little uncomfortable. She really got into the scrubbing and I saw things I will unfortunately never forget! So many angles haha. In 2014, the onsen workers had no english, it was hard to work out what they would provide. I thankfully took some soap. I paid for access to another onsen in the building as well, apparently used by royalty, I wouldn't use it again as it was very small and they had communal soap, which freaked me out. The onsen town and Matsuyama are worth a visit, very unique experience.
Oh nice, glad you got to check it out too! It was a specifically cool city. Next time I'm going in that castle! -E
I stayed in the Dog Onsen area back in 2011 and I don't remember the projection on the building at night. I noticed the projection when I visited on Nov. 2019.
I can't exactly recall how much I paid to take a bath in the Dogo Onsen in 2011, but it was more than 1000¥. Yes, you get to access the open area upstairs for refreshment, to relax and enjoy the premises and the view from the balcony. I saw many people taking pictures from there then. Being new to onsen bathing, I didn't bring anything except a change of clothes and a towel from my hotel. They gave me a small bar of soap, small towel and the bath shower gel were provided in the shower room. Following day, I took a bath in the public onsen not from from the Dogo Onsen and the cost was way cheaper. I think I only paid 200¥ for the experience. Good memories though nonetheless.
Sounds nice!
I discovered your UA-cam channel a few days ago and I love these videos! Really makes me miss visiting Japan!
Glad you found us!
Mmmmm, that chocolate thing at the end!
Dig the Bjork shirt :)
Who's dissing the beanie?
Haters! -E
Man I’m tired of some of the ignorant fools on your guys’ videos lately. Some are a little pathetic complaining about a beanie or a tshirt! Or others that ask stupid and personal questions too! There’s just some people who need to use their brain before saying shit. Your regular viewers love you (and no we’re not bored of Japan either!) and we will watch and enjoy what you guys film :)
Haa, thanks, but don't worry too much, it's not worth it. -E
I have always loved Japanese onsen and have visited many, many throughout Japan including Dogo in Matsuyama. Perhaps it is because of my first trip to Japan as a university student. We stayed in dorm rooms with Japanese students. The cleaning option was the public bath so that was my daily experience for most of the week so it soon became the norm to strip naked with a bunch of guys and settle in to the communal bath. Yes, everyone has the moment with their first Auntie cleaning up in the men's dressing room.
lol
I think what was going on at the onsen building was some kind of celebration to do with manga artist Tezuka Osamu from what I could gather from the posters and wotnot displayed there. I'm no expert on him, but I know he had a story/stories about a phoenix etc.
ah yea, you may be right! -E
Matsuyama is an overlooked treasure in Japan. Anyone going there should read Botchan by Soseki Natsume and use it as a travel guide. In any event, so many great things and was nice to see shots of one of my favorite shotengai. Also, caused a mild panic when you started with: we have come to a temple for relationships - momentary panic for one of my favorite couples. Take care and thanks as always!
Yea, it was really a nice stop! -E
Do you think you'll ever do another hitchhiking series?
Maybe! No current plans. -E
The haters of your hat obviously dont know how toques (beanies) are worn in north america or street wear lol. Looks good man!
oh i know how dope i look, don't worry
Hopefully you guys are ok. Kyde is getting prettier and prettier every day.
We are fine! Thanks! -E
Hat is dope.
Love the björk t-shirt Eric!
Thanks!
Nice castle!
Cute hat and t
That thing on the castle you said was for dropping oil or lead or other nasties is called ishiotoshi 石落or ishiotoshimado 石落窓, which as you can probably gather refers to rocks being dropped from it. Although castle researchers and experts now think that this might be a misunderstanding of the name. Because of the size of the openings, and the angles of the walls below them, there is some doubt as to if they were really mainly used to drop rocks. While dropping some rocks might have been a use of them, some researchers now think that their main purpose was to fire down onto the enemy below with either bows or matchlocks. I know it is an odd comment. I watch most of your Japan videos (I used to live in Tokyo so Jvlog videos are like little tastes of my second home), and as you can probably tell by my username, castles are part of my interests.
Ah, interesting. It's possible I actually inferred the usage of them from seeing the kanji at some point, haha. -E
It's not something I would expect someone who isn't a Japanese history geek to know haha. I know what you mean about maps. I got lost in Kyoto trying to follow a map my hotel gave me. The orientation was wrong, there was no compass, and the proportions were off. So it looked like it was not that far away, but an or so hour later I found myself in a residential area. I surprised a lady in her yard by calling out "sumimasen" and then asking her in Japanese which direction I needed to go. She was really nice about it, and told me I was really far away and that even though I was following the map, I had been walking in basically the opposite direction. It was annoying at the time, but when looked back on it I was kind of glad that I got lost because I got to see parts of Kyoto I probably wouldn't have if I didn't, and in the end it worked out and I got to where I wanted to be (although much later and more tired than I was planning on haha).
balloons were used in old wars as observation platform and it doesn't have to be in enemy lines.
Haha, any type of early 1900's flight seems dangerous.
Surely that's a steam locomotive not diesel.
Googled it to check, it's diesel. ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%9D%8A%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A1%E3%82%83%E3%82%93%E5%88%97%E8%BB%8A
Great vlog... hope you are not hit badly by the storms ?
We didn't get hit too hard here, thanks!
Was it maybe a Sento and not an onsen? Sento's don't provide anything and some of them have water from an onsen
It's most definitely billed as an onsen.
Where do you usually rent vehicles from and how much do you usually pay?
Usually we use nippon rent-a-car, but sometimes we find deals with other companies. The cost is dependant on the type of car, time kept, where it's picked up and dropped off, etc so it's hard to give a straight answer. You can check specifics on their website...I *think* it has English? -E
Great video guys looking forward to seeing the rest 😀🏴🇬🇧
you two are so funny! i love your wit and sarcasm.
Thanks! -E
35:45 That house just squirt at you?! Thats rude.
Taking the shower toilet concept outside. -E
So fresh lady at 道後温泉(笑)
ウケる😆✨🎵🎶
very clean!
That huge Tanuki's got some serious business going on down there....woooo. Hey guys! I really loved the vid. I laughed so hard when Kyde explained her onsen experience.... :D Vagina washer ..... LMAO! Have a great weekend. Cheers!
Dude! you own that hat. Pay the haters no toll. Like I have said before, you would fit right in with Jock Cousteau/ Steve Zissou's Crew. Keep up the good work.
P.S Kyde Bug, That was a Steam Train. Of course that is a little before your time unless you have been to the Virginia Transportation museum in Roanoke.
Dennis Chamberlin Eric looked it up (a reply to another comment), that train is a diesel :)
@@lmaree200886 I stand corrected, the original was a steam locomotive and the replica is diesel. Sorry Kyde. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botchan_Ressha
Eric smashing all dem pumpkins with that shirt/hat combo. YAOWZA
Hoping you guys are safe and sound.
We are! Thanks! -E
Maybe the more detailed map on the far right is oriented that way (horizontally) because it won't fit in nicely if it were laid down horizontally. Just a guess. Talking about how It wouldn't be visually harmonious and the margins.
I can't be convinced this is a good system. Hahahaha -E
@@kydeanderic That's why google map is my sidekick when traveling😀
I’m so excited for another Kyde and Eric video!! You guys are awesome. I would LOVE to hangout with you two and go on adventures lol. You’re hilarious and such a great couple
Balloons back then were used for observation. They were held in place by ropes that could be cranked down in a hurry if needed. Once air power came about balloons became quickly obsolete. The hat looks alright Zig Zag man.
I paused my binge viewing "Kinging-it" videos for this one. It's just dinner time and I could totally clean up that fishy meal Kyde had.
Kyde and Eric make Japan more beautiful!
I spent quite a time Matsuyama I remember all these places. I stayed in Ehime . I also did my First Onsen hot springs . It’s quite the experience.
As someone said before it's the Russian Navy, they got their arse kicked.
Eric finally got them W’s congrats my man lol 👏👏
33:11 I’d wanna shower off after hanging out with that old kitty shiner...
Eric give the bird to judgmental eyes
How are you guys 'holding-up' there, during "typhoon hagibis"? -much love, and luck...!!
DIdn't give us too much bother here in Tokyo. -E
@@kydeanderic Ah, good; am relieved to hear! Hopefully everyone/all of Japan shall get-thru/got-thru it 'alright', and relatively unscathed - altho', from the brief(ish) coverage i'd seen, on Euronews - it did seem pretty 'bad/extreme' ({: \ ...!?! Much love //
18:34 I seriousy thought that was a giant cat, blocking a path.
Ohhhh, so cool; soooo marvellous...!!!
The hat is cool!!!!! Pooh on the crazy haters!!!!!!!
very cool video
Thanks!
you pull off all your hats eric, haters are jealous
36:11 You are being observed from afar lol
The hats are epic, wish I lived somewhere cold to try one out.
I love how your videos don’t have background music. I love the way y’all explain everything. My favorite travel channel.
Thanks, glad you enjoy the details, I leave the background music out to allow the sound of the actual environment we filmed in come through. I'm sure our videos would have wider appeal if I used music and fast cuts and such to pace them differently, but our goal is to show what the trip was like as close as possible. -E
