Please Film all the touristy things you can!! a lot of us might not ever get the chance to visit japan. so seeing it thru your eyes is a great experience!!
Japan is SUCH a cool place to visit. People there welcome you with open arms, always happy to talk about fellow passions, professions, and interests. My first trip to Tokyo changed my life in many ways, but most of all it opened my eyes for being part of a local community. Even in a mega city.
I fully expect this oakes x instagrant collab trip is gonna produce fire content. Jimmy getting in a few days early with grant will absolutely get him ready for when everyone arrives and we get to see some dope tandem content. Can't wait for more!
Thank you very much for coming to Japan! Amazing, you guys even went to Hitachinaka! It's a very local place. And you were looking for a restroom. The button-lock door you guys were struggling with was used for toilet doors in Japan a while back. The way it is used is that the right side twists open to the left, and when the button is pressed from the inside, the door locks shut and does not open from the outside. Many people often forget to press the button, so you need to be careful because it is possible to be opened from the outside. Please come visit Japan again!
The Mini has been loved by the japanese for a long time because of it's size. With all the narrow streets in the urban cities the Mini was ideal to drive. They are a smiles per hour kind of cars. Freakin' awsome little things.
I'm so happy for you Jimmy, I smiled through the whole video, bud. I watch all of Grants and Dustins Tokyo trips and look forward to living vicariously through them. Dustin is there now too, so it would be cool if you guys all met up there, he wants to learn to drift I think.
Can I say having grant shout out grant for being jimmy’s tour guide he’s got the best person to show him around Japan grant knows his stuff in Japan I’m happy to see the both of you guys I hope you both have a safe fun time out there
Japan changed my life! I finally got to go a few years ago and have been back every year since, usually for Tokyo auto salon! I appreciate it when UA-camrs and others visit Japan and actually explore the place, The worst people are the ones who fly out and just spend there entire time at Ebisu, Get out there people, go to Akihabara go to the shrines, he’ll go have a coffee at DZs cafe in gunma and get your initial d vibes on
Big takeaway for 1st time large westerners in Japan is body parts will be hanging off of furniture and crammed into confining spaces, so if you're claustrophobic prepare yourself. other than that Japan is an amazing place!
So happy for you being able to go to Japan for your first time! Going with Grant and then being around a bunch of stuff you already know is going to help a lot. Me and a group of 5 friends are going in July for 2 weeks and none of us have been before so it should be interesting for the first couple days. None of them are into cars though, I'd love to go on a car focused trip but it'd just be too much money and I'd have to go alone. Can't even afford to do much with cars at home, haha. I'm hoping to at least be able to visit a couple museums in Tokyo and see some cool stuff driving around.
Jimmy, I love this for you. Your reaction is the same we’d all have going for our first time. I think it’s safe to say this is a big goal for many of your viewers, you’re fucking killing it! Also, take the compass on your phone and see if the head of your bed faces North. If not, rotate the bed that direction so you have better sleep and wake up more refreshed to get rid of that jet lag!
The up garage is where a lot of the locals park their custom parts for the off season . Sort of like a pawn shop for car guys don’t tie up a lot of cash in a parked car take it the tasty bits to upgarage and get them again later.
@jimmy oakes I've literally just got back from Japan, did a bunch of car stuff for once, hired a sienta from Times car at HND. Did up garage , super auto Bach's and Daikoku PA. Enjoy that feeling, of feeling totally out of place and overwhelmed. Have fun !
Living through you to go to Japan is fun, thanks for documenting this.. I think we'd all be as lost as you on that trip, thank god for Grant there with you!
jimmy man. going through tough times i can always come and watch your content and it just motivates and excites me dude !! keep it up, seeing japan from a perspective of a first timer is like we are all there experiencing it with you
Oh Jimmy!! Are you going to see Sammit while you are there?!?!?!?!?!? You should. Grant knows him too. That would be so awesome. Please see if you can meet with Sam (Sammit), our boy from Australia. He has a garage now, awesome wife, and little baby. That would be so cool!!!! I watch the JDM drifting scene and I hope you two come together! Have a good time Jimmy, best wishes from Mesa, Arizona.
I can't wait to go back to Japan later this year. I went back in Jan for TAS and got to drift (Shoutout to Thrash Racing). It was the best thing ever. Jimmy, If you get time, go to Osaka and hit up the Thrash Racing guys!
This is crazy iv been in Japan since the 13/4 leave Tokyo on the 9/5 I've stayed at an onsen/ryokan on futons and having all these same emotions at the same time as Jimmy 😂
Yo Jimmy, well chuffed you have made it out to Japan for the s15 guy. Enjoy the trip, know that we here enjoy your journey, but also respect that you need to enjoy without the pressure of filming, but filming your 'in between' bits are just as entertaining as the main stuff, we just watching alongside you man, dreaming of doing the same. Enjoy and appreciate, keep up keepin up man. 👍😎
Proud of you Jim. From a z32 v8 swap to trip to Japan. You made it kid
I'm honestly surprised Jimmy hasn't been to Japan before. Cool seeing his raw reaction to everything
Please Film all the touristy things you can!! a lot of us might not ever get the chance to visit japan. so seeing it thru your eyes is a great experience!!
Check out Dustin’s Japan in a van tour
@@Clean_Duners Absolute disservice to say "Check out Japan in a Van" and not recommend the two Juicebox Japan video series'
Welcome home jimmy
Grant is certified Japanese tour guide by the amount of times he's gone to Japan at this point haha
So stoked for you Jimmy, glad Grant is with you he's a seasoned veteran now. Can't wait for this content.
Grant is unfortunately an influencer npc now 😔 #rip

Cool place to visit not live in
@@moisesgaribay4893 Yes absolutely, Japan can teach you a lot but moving there isn't for outsiders.
@@moisesgaribay4893 LIVE in? That is a can of worms most people should not open.
@@user-st8ny6pi2dexplain pls

The Jimmy/Grit combo is just too good. You guys are such genuine dudes, this is gonna be a great 2 weeks!
Thank you very much for coming to Japan!

I'm glad Grant noticed that his other youtuber friends haven't done shit for him.. Put some respek on that man.
Continued safe travels, have fun boys!
So stoked for this content!!! I think it's really cool that youre staying in a traditional room.
The Mini has been loved by the japanese for a long time because of it's size.

looking forward to the driving and the experience good luck jim and grant is the best man for your tour guide

This whole trip makes me so happy for you jim
lived in japan sep ‘21- sep ‘22 and man, one of the best places when it comes to cars, food, and urban planning

Subbed to just Grant because I love his energy, and I didn’t realize he even had a channel until I watched this. Can’t wait to watch more from Grant!
happy you finally tagged along, always loved the Japan videos from Adam and the rest of the clique
