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?
I can't believe how clean and peaceful it is there.
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.
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!
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.
2:51 That says - More parking in rear. Maybe not in exact words. Gonna love watching this Japan playlist!
Cool, enjoy.
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 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 will be watching all your Japan videos Gabe and taking notes I love how you explain everything to us
Your own little cubicle thing. Love that saying ! Cheers on your next journey
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.
I miss Japan. I was in Tokyo last year. Will go back later this year but in Osaka and Kyoto.
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!
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!
Wow cool! I am heading to Japan in August. Looking forward to see all your videos :)
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.
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 🙏
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.
I miss Japan already. Very nice country and nice people
Excited about your first venture just finished the series for 2022 I believe love thank you for your videos
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!
You might have the best music score selection of any youtuber, its refreshing.
Thanks, glad you dig it. I try to find different stuff.
I really love your travel vlogs. Very simple, interesting, and informative! No crazy editing or obnoxious music.
Cool, 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!
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.
Nice to see you are back on the road Gabe. Cant wait to see more places you havent been yet
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.
I love how everything is well organized.
“ up at midnight walking around “ in Japan ! I’m jelly on in a way I’ve never been jelly before .
GLAD YOU ARE OKAY BROTHER.....SO NICE TO HAVE YOU BRING ME WITH
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.
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.
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 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!!
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.
You can get cheap food at the lower floors of the big department stores. They discount things near closing.
$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 : )
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... 😂😂👍👍
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
That symbol is seen all over Taiwan, Vietnam and Japan in the temples.
OMG! Welcome to our home country Gabriel!! Finally!!!
Wow, cool. I just came back from there on the 17th of June! Did a few vlogs myself. I'd like to try a capsule hotel next time!
Are you going to use the Shinkensen? Can be spendy, especially for express trains which are not covered by the JR Pass.< They make every stop and you don't get to experience the high speed as much.
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
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!
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.
Great one Gabe!! Really enjoy your vlogs. Would love to see more.👍 keep going amd stay well.
Yeah! New travels!! Exciting!
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
If you are in Japan I recommend you take a look at Naha and Kumejima (2 islands in the south). When I went to JP last year I really enjoyed those places (Hatenohama beach is extremely beautiful). Enjoy your stay!
This place is so interesting so different but great.would love to go there. Thanks for bringing it to us
Thank you Gab for sheering ,we waiting next video .
Japan is awesome, I think you'll like it there.
So hyped for the next videos from Japan. Gabriel, are you going to hike mount Fuji ?
hope you will head to the countryside, it must be so beautiful.
Yeah I plan to get out of the city for sure.
MUFG atms usually work for international cards btw!
Wow, awesome video Gabriel!! Your videos really capture what it's like to be in the thick of a major city like Osaka.
Great Review Gabe i love the Intros best in the business.. Can't wait to seee the Japanese Currys and Sushi for sure
Awesome!!! Can't wait to see you tour through Japan!
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.
Looking forward to all the vids of this place. Were you deliberately searching for flights there from Hawaii or just came across the deal?
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.
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! :)
Very interesting Gabriel. Keep those videos coming !!
Hi Gabe 👋. Excellent video. Japan is very beautiful.
Congrats on #55. Japan is amazing, hope you get to check out some of the natural hot springs there! Please let us know all is well after the Osaka earthquake. Paz y amor!
thanks gabriel can't wait.
Crazy timing hope your safe and sound Gabe.
All is well. There will be a video about the earthquake.
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.
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
Lovin the tour Gabe...Thanks.Please let us know the best way to get around the city?People seem so respectful in Osaka they go about there business and here in London people are rushing around like crazies!
So excited you are in Japan!!!!!! Have fun! Amazing country...can't wait to see your videos!
I love Japan..... Everything is extraordinary in there.
Finally in Japan! i've been waiting for you to go there since forever
Cool.
Very interesting ..keep up the good work
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!
I can literally say Gabriel has been to damn near every country and city in the world! Great video btw!
55 countries so far, so that means I have 140 countries left to see.
I recommend a village in osaka called Moriguchi it has everything!! a great department store and a retro arcade on the corner which is awesome .well recommend a day trip on the train
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!
Welcome to Japan Thank you for making videos of Japan
Glad you are ok Gabriel! As a Cali boy you've probably been through a few earthquakes before!! Hope this one wasn't too traumatizing
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.
I was anxiously waiting for you to travel to Japan cant wait for your next videos from Japan..stay safe Gabe
Great, I think Japan is going to be really interesting.
Thanks for this video. I was surprised to see so few people in the streets. Looking forward to more videos!
Hi Gabe, great video! Where did you find the cheap flight? I want to go to Hawaii from Tokyo! Thanks!
Skyscanner, on Scoot Airlines.
You really need to check out Naoshima Island. One of the coolist places in Japan and not far from Osaka
No way going to Shinjuku Tokyo in July my first overseas trip hopefully this starts my adventures to different countries.
How long will you be in Osaka for? I will be there in 12 days and taking a bus up to Tokyo if you wanted to catch up for a beer or some food
Leaving Osaka in two days. I fly out of Tokyo in about three weeks so I'll be there then.
Gabe definitely check out Nara. They let deer roam the town freely and the temples are some of the best!
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
Excited to see where you visit in Japan! I highly recommend getting out to Kyushu. Fukuoka and Kagoshima were two of my favourite places I visited on my trip! Safe travels!
I recommend you include Kumamoto in you bucket list when you plan to go on a trip to Kyushu island.
I love your video, it makes me feel like I'm experiencing your trip with you 👍👍
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
Thank you so much for this amazing video. You are awesome like always.
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.
Always great to watch your videos!
That was a lovely soft landing the tremors and earthquakes there. Was you filming just a day before it happened? What a nice cozy capsule style guesthouse for $20 in a nice classy clean peaceful city place. I like Japan. I wish it weren't too expensive to live and teach English there for it's about same salaries as South Korea, but no bennies like flight and housing so it's requires a bit to go and then some in case you need to change job or leave. It is a great pleasure to be able to watch you doing things I wish I could go be doing in life now. Thank you for sharing.
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?
Hi Gabriel, Osaka is a fascinating city Tokyo is always what's mentioned but seems very crowded compare to Osaka. Nice low key flavor.
