This is OSAKA, JAPAN | First Impressions of the City
In Japan even though with small spaces and narrow streets everything is clean and tidy
Japanese ingenuity is something that needs to be appreciated and adapted world wide.
Bumble Bee
You just see the negative aspects of Japan .
*In Japan littering is a crime!*
Bumble Bee the suicide rate is actually falling in japan. Belgium now has a higher suicide rate.
Japan is one of the safest countries on earth.
MR.NWP so it should be! Its a crime in many western countries but not enforced.
Welcome to my home country (日本へようこそ). Although I'm not ethnically Japanese, I lived there for a majority of my life. Hope you enjoy Japan
r you pakistani?
Oh man, Japan is the most unique place I've ever been! You're such a great inspiration for my channel. Keep it up Gabe :)
In Japan littering is a crime.
@Ben HAHA are you serious? I see litter literally everywhere in US!
Cool to see you in Japan, Gabe. Definitely didn't see that coming, different to your usual style, loved the video and looking forward to more from Japan and you :)
Right on. Japan is looking really interesting.
I can't believe how clean and peaceful it is there.
I miss Japan. I was in Tokyo last year. Will go back later this year but in Osaka and Kyoto.
I know it’s silly but try the McDonalds in Japan. It will change your perspective of McDonalds and proves how proud and respectful the Japanese people are. Every burger comes out looking exactly like it does on the commercial.
I went myself to Osaka, but I notice that you are much more observant than me. You pay attention to things I barely didn't even notice or glossed over, which makes your videos fun and interesting to watch.
I really want to visit Japan. People who I know personally who have ever been in Japan say it's the best country that they have every been visited.
krotsin I went 3 years ago. Then last year, and again this year lol. I am not a big time traveler(yet) but japan is beautiful. Makes you want to explore more.
irishwars You do time travel ? My time machine just won't start.
true story, I travel to Japan every year, for peace of mind and inspiration.
I don't know about visiting Japan after that nuclear powerplant explosion back in 2010 or so... Japanese government is still hiding about the truth and won't tell the truth about the consequences of radioactive radiation in most major cities... I would definitely do my homework and try to visit..... Be cautious; don't trust all public hypes.
Japan seems to be so clean😮 no graffity no waste on the streets. Wow! Nice Video, Gabriel 😀
Gabriel is partially responsible for that. When you shop for a place to stay you're going to pick the places that have good ratings and the reviews say good things about what is nearby.
Young Seo butthurt korean?..
errr,... actually, it's complicated,... there is definitely graffiti (back in the day it used to be ' black emperor ' but I haven't see his tag lately), also during garbage day the crows tear open the plastic bags and scatter stuff all over the road, really disgusting and smelly,.... biker gangs sometimes tear through the neighborhood late at night waking me up. The train station platforms towards the end of commute hour are filthy with drunk men's vomit. If people think no one is watching they will dump their large trash like old refridgerators and electronics in vacant lots or parks.
I will be watching all your Japan videos Gabe and taking notes I love how you explain everything to us
Wow cool! I am heading to Japan in August. Looking forward to see all your videos :)
I'm super excited that you will be exploring Japan over the next month. I've been watching Japan videos since April and just booked a solo trip for October this morning. I can't wait to get your take on the place. I hope you have some great adventures.
I miss Japan already. Very nice country and nice people
Your own little cubicle thing. Love that saying ! Cheers on your next journey
Japan is unique, as someone said here. They have a lot of regulations. They can be nice and polite. They are helpful. They keep tight regulations. Expectations. I might go. I like their culture. I like the fact that they don't act out of character. There is not much diversity, in some places, but they are amazing!
Hey man where you at? We we're going to Osaka today but unfortunately because of the earthquake they are no transportation from Kyoto to Osaka, we're going tomorrow, well try
I see, crazy. I'll be leaving Osaka day after tomorrow.
Gabriel Traveler If we manage to get there tomorrow, would be cool to meet you 😃
Gabriel Traveler Leave asap, they are very racists in Japan!
@@drewpeacock6234 he was probably gone by the time you made this comment lol.
Excited about your first venture just finished the series for 2022 I believe love thank you for your videos
That symbol is seen all over Taiwan, Vietnam and Japan in the temples.
You might have the best music score selection of any youtuber, its refreshing.
Thanks, glad you dig it. I try to find different stuff.
$150 is a great deal! Japan looks so interesting I can't wait to make it there
Dustin Borglin AirAsia X has the deal- I took it opposite direction from Osaka as I’m in Hawaii now. Cheap flight- no entertainment nothing is free, but totally worth it, especially if you can sleep the entire journey. And of course comply with baggage policies...
Btw there are prices one way for $117 between Osaka and Honolulu right now if you are looking into fall or winter, unbelievable price!
Jenny Marie awesome thanks : )
I spent a full month in Japan also! amazing country. I would recommend visiting Nagoya, Kanazawa, Mt Koya san (worlds largest cemetary on top of a mountain, and the most sought after burial site of any japanese person, also monastery homestays up there) and obviously Tokyo and Kyoto. My tips would be shop in grocery stores at around 6-7pm for discount sushi. Look up "Willer express" it's a very cheap bus company which connects cities in Japan much cheaper than the Shinkansen's and look at Sumo tournaments, there are only 6 in the year which spectators are allowed, one being the "Nagoya basho" sometime in July, we went there just for sumo and it's an incredible experience. Mt Fuji is climbable also in the July/August months. have fun Gabe!
Such a beautiful country. I've only every visited Japan once - for work. I'm looking forward to an extended trip in the future. I'm full of anticipation about the places you will visit. Love all your videos.
Konbanwa from Germany. Nice first impressions video! Japan is high in on must visit countries. Hope you get a chance to venture into the beautiful countryside.
i ve been to most of major cities on earth fromLondon To Moscow,from Bangkok To NYC but from HK to Dubai but once u visit tokyo all other cities look dull ...TOKYO is the greatest /best city on earth no other city can rival it ....NONE
Try Rio de Janeiro but yea Tokyo is right up there!
I love that your vlogs are a total stream of your consciousness! 😍 I just watched this whilst eating peanut butter on toast for breakfast and I actually felt like I was in Japan with you , just loving your work Gabe! Ps can’t get over how quiet it is - no horns!
Sweet, thanks. :) Yeah I try to make it a little more interesting by inserting random commentary, which can get pretty random at times.
I love it! you really take your audience along with you, I haven't even really worked out how you do it yet but it's amazing!
Excellent.
Gabriel, I have been following your for at least a couple of years now. I was so happy to see you have 21k views on a new video. You're finally getting the following that your positive and high quality travel videos deserve. Stay safe and keep it moving!!!
Cool, thanks!
I heard about the earthquake in Japan and I hope you’re ok. I pray that the people in Osaka will recover & that no one is hurt. God bless you. Hope you’re fine & you’re in my prayers 🙏
Great one Gabe!! Really enjoy your vlogs. Would love to see more.👍 keep going amd stay well.
Nice for finding it so cheap, good for u Gabe! I waited a long time waiting for you to visit Japan, everything look so perfect.
Cool.
GLAD YOU ARE OKAY BROTHER.....SO NICE TO HAVE YOU BRING ME WITH
All the sudden, jerky camera movements make this difficult to watch! Am I the only one who would appreciate a little more fluid movement? Thank you.
He would benefit greatly by having a single hand held steadi-cam type device.
Agreed! Immediately got a Headache and Got Motion Sickness 😵 Queasy, loooove Japan but I really can't watch, too sick now 😣 Was HOPING SOMEONE pointed this out! Sorry, was gonna sub, but prefer smoother videos
Japan is awesome, I think you'll like it there.
Yeah! New travels!! Exciting!
hope you will head to the countryside, it must be so beautiful.
Yeah I plan to get out of the city for sure.
That first restaurant isn't indicative of typical meal prices.
You go to like, a normal regular cafeteria or eatery in Japan you can normally have an entire complete (non-fancy) meal for 5-6 bucks. If you're looking at a menu where average price for everything is 10 bucks like here, it's a higher than average price restaurant. (and tourist locations are like this as well)
In fact, eating out in Japan actually are generally LESS than prices in United States. That second restaurant (a major chain) prices are the more typical pricing you can expect.
2:51 That says - More parking in rear. Maybe not in exact words. Gonna love watching this Japan playlist!
Cool, enjoy.
Thank you Gab for sheering ,we waiting next video .
I miss Osaka, the most friendly people in the world!! Been all over Japan but Osaka holds my heart! go to Gaiijin bar Captain Kangaroo tell bartender Yuko I sent you! best place in Osaka!
I've just left Osaka! It's a great place to explore even walking tours around the suburbs. Listen out for the trash trucks 😂 I stayed in Taradecho at a hostel called Osaka guesthouse Nest (or vice versa). There's a main street there with food for around 500 and cheaper. Also a small hippie/backpacker vibe bar as you exit the station and take a right, follow the road down on the same side. The young locals in there were great fun, playing Japanese music and spoke pretty good English. It's probably one of the few alternative scenes I found around that area. Oh and if you pick up a one or two day amazing pass you'll get free travel in the city and free entry to various sights. Have fun!!
OMG! Welcome to our home country Gabriel!! Finally!!!
Oh, man. I miss Japan. Went there twice last year but only to Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara. I'm sure you'll have a great time there. And yes, Japan is not that expensive. You can travel there, be on a budget and still enjoy the time. The hostels there are just amazingly clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. I stayed at Bunka and Owl hostels in Tokyo, and Morris in Kyoto. Check them out. Really good places. Lots of affordable yet tasty meals, easy to get from A to B, and very safe. Can't wait for more videos! :)
You should use the Google Translate app feature that allows you to translate signs through the camera.
Yeah I'll have to look into using that.
It wasn't even that far into the video and the quietness of the city is the first thing I noticed. Wow. Also, I would be in heaven if there were random food and drink machines everywhere I went. Im also jealous of Japans 7/11s...you can get real food instead of the crap sitting under heat lamps they sell in the US. Which country is more expensive in your opinion, Iceland? Or Japan? Lastly, that meal at the end of the video looked amazing...was that a form of Mapo Tofu? Great vid as always!
Iceland is definitely more expensive. Lots of cheap eating options in Japan.
thanks gabriel can't wait.
Japan has always been high on my list of places to visit, it looks so beautiful and the culture just seems so interesting
Really different from any other country in the world
Great video as usual! Definitely want to make it out to Japan sooner than later
I love how everything is well organized.
Youre there for a month while Im here researching where to go in Japan for 7 days! Take care and I will be looking forward to your videos.
WOW! Thought that train was gonna hit me! LOL Okinawa would be a nice place to check out!
I was lucky enough to live in Oki for 2 years, it's an incredibly beautiful island!
@@Blueyez369 I agree with you. Okinawa is a really beautiful island. I have just came back from a trip to Okinawa.
The temperature in Okinawa was 28 deg C in late Oct, 10 deg C higher than in Tokyo.
Right before I turned this on, I saw there was an earthquake in Osaka. I really hope you're ok brother.
Its normal in japan..dnt wrry😁
They have like 3 earthquakes per day, its crazy.
A 6.1, three people killed.
And more than 200 injured.
Yeah I'm fine luckily. It was a pretty intense one but I didn't see any damage walking around the city.
Great Review Gabe i love the Intros best in the business.. Can't wait to seee the Japanese Currys and Sushi for sure
Nice one Gabe; I have travelled a bit and Japan is one of the few places I that has not yet bored me! keep up the good work, bro! Cheers
Finally finished watching, took a while because I was at work busy but to give you the cheap advice that I know is to eat at those Yoshinoya type places because they have tasty sautéed beef with onions served in a bowl over rice. Very filling and cheap at under $4
Agree with this. Went to Japan twice last year, and Yoshinoya was a life saver, especially when I'm too tired to think after a long day of walking.
“ up at midnight walking around “ in Japan ! I’m jelly on in a way I’ve never been jelly before .
Gabriel, some of the vending machines sell hot coffee in a can.
Glad to hear you are safe, I always enjoy your videos, because they give a true picture of each area, and not just a glossy advertising type image.
What did you decide to chase natural disasters ? when I lived in California if it was muggy overcast no wind we called that earthquake weather
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
This is the first video I saw from you. I am amazed. You just made it totally real and I feel like I am there right now. Thank you !!
Cool.
seems like it's going to be a great series
You will LOVE Japan...enjoy!
Hi Gabe 👋. Excellent video. Japan is very beautiful.
I love japan 🇯🇵 thanks for sharing
You can get cheap food at the lower floors of the big department stores. They discount things near closing.
hi Gabriel just heard of the earthquake are you ok man???
I'm all good!
cool take care and enjoy your trip
Great! :) fabulous video thanks
I really love your travel vlogs. Very simple, interesting, and informative! No crazy editing or obnoxious music.
Cool, thanks.
Nice to see you are back on the road Gabe. Cant wait to see more places you havent been yet
the channel is uniqie in which the vlog is very natural and not fake
I am so happy for you that you had the chance to go there. I cant go there right now myself but when I am happy for others than it almost feels like I have been there.
Also, if you go to eat somewhere there is no english try saying " Osusume wa?" ... it's asking for their recommendation. If you aren't picky this works great!
Japan is a wonderful country. I was there during Golden Week last May. Visited Hiroshima, Otake and Iwakuni. Many beautiful mountains and trails. The Japanese are very kind and considerate. Unless you have ever been to Japan you wouldn't understand the depth of it's beauty and the one of a kind most compassionate culture.
Cool video Gabriel... Japan looks very interesting.... Maybe a place I may get to visit one day... Safe Travels *Greg*
Its Gabe but no,worries
Uncle Chuckles yes I know it’s Gabe (Gabriel) lol... I sign my name at the end.. “safe travel *Greg*. Greg is me.. lol..👍
@@TheHuski hahha My Bad thats funny i totally mis read that. Good Travela
Uncle Chuckles I might stop using it ... Gabe knows my ugly face by now... 😂😂👍👍
So hyped for the next videos from Japan. Gabriel, are you going to hike mount Fuji ?
Welcome!
Japan looks so dystopian
You were walking on the bicycle lane 😅 7:26
It's a bit confusing, because the bicycles seem to go on both sides.
welcome to osaka. enjoy!
The sign says - there are a parking spots. Anyone can buy vending machine and install it in his property, that's why they're random. The price for normal meal is 500-700 yen if you look for it a little. And if you do some research before you come to Japan, you will find a lot of tips and cheats how to save money, eat good, see best, and behave yourself.
Awesome!!! Can't wait to see you tour through Japan!
Crazy timing hope your safe and sound Gabe.
All is well. There will be a video about the earthquake.
If you come to Kyoto, I recommend renting a bike - a more enjoyable experience than taking the city bus (and Kyoto is not that big )
Glad to see you're in Japan btw! Head down to Dotonbori if you want to see a bit more action!
Very interesting Gabriel. Keep those videos coming !!
Japan is such an incredibly unique and interesting country. When I lived there the US dollar was worth between about 55 yen at the low end to I think 75 at the high end, so it was pretty expensive. There is so much good food to be had there, and the Family Marts and such are excellent for cheap meals that are still good quality.
10:00 I was expecting Michael Myers to pop out hearing that noise, lmao
Awesome Gabe, love your vids, you visted one of my favorite places! Yeah, those drink/...whatever dispensery "apparatus~es" are everywhere Hahaha! I reckon the 2020 Oylimpics in Nippon will be amazing; I have no doubt! Sorry...too funny "...sushi skewers or whatever they are...👋" Love ya brother!!
P.S. Don't rest your chopsticks (coretive action) like that, at the end of the video, it's to similar to a Japanese funeral, LOL, I can't wait for more!!
"Rrrr" damn spell check 😜!!
When you're in Hiroshima make sure you go to Miyajima island it's awesome. The trip to the sumit via 3 cable cars is a hell of an experience and the views are mind blowing
Very cool. looks like they have lots of respect for their surroundings and one another. Thanks, looking forward to your trip. Hope you don't wake up with honey on you in that cubical. Buzz Buzz Cheers
Wow, awesome video Gabriel!! Your videos really capture what it's like to be in the thick of a major city like Osaka.
Very interesting ..keep up the good work
Awesome brother thank you very much for the video
Looking forward to all the vids of this place. Were you deliberately searching for flights there from Hawaii or just came across the deal?
looks clean
I love Japan..... Everything is extraordinary in there.
Thank you for coming to japan☆
Gabe definitely check out Nara. They let deer roam the town freely and the temples are some of the best!
I went to Japan 3 years ago,and I came to my hostel from the back entrance ,😂😂😂
Looking forward to your other Japan videos! It is definitely on my bucket list, and I want to spend a month there too.
Have fun!
So excited you are in Japan!!!!!! Have fun! Amazing country...can't wait to see your videos!
Happy travels in Japan. My daughter just came home . She spent a two week journey with her school and absolutely loved it there. Glad you enjoyed Hawai. Aloha
Amazing country.
That BOSS coffee is everywhere. I just wonder, whose picture is that on the bottle/can? And does he know he's all over the world?
