Also, we get hayfever in every country, not just Japan; I'm British and I get horrendous hayfever every spring and summer. Yuta appears to think hayfever is unique to Japan. He's clearly delusional.
Deep Red He is clearly not delusional. He is just talking about something he doesn't like about Japan. It is a valid topic since hayfever there seems to be much more common than in most countries. I don't think there are many countries with half of its population suffering from that at those levels.
He clearly explained before starting that he has complains but it is not a 100% negative. He isn't wrong if he prefers to see a good side of things instead of the bad side like most foreign youtubers seemed to make a big deal out of it.
Neurofed Yamato, you're probably 100% right, and I'm visualizing it happening and think 'yup, it's making headlines' - the graphs for pollen like you see for rain prove that it's in weather news enough to need graphing.
D S LOL! Most debt are owned by Japanese citizens, Birth rates are higher than south Korea and China! Proverty lol! Japan is 26 on ranking on suicide rates but China and south Korea has more sucide rates then Japan! South Korea is on top 5 countries with highest sucide rates, China is somewhat Same as Japan but it's increasing but in case of Japan it's decrease! So stop Ur bullshit
What I hate about Japan: 1. The train arrived 3 seconds later than the schedule 2. Public toilet is not heated. 3. The policeman asked me whether everything is in order for the third time in a month. How annoying! 4. I was again raised my salary, now I need to figure out where to put the extra money. 5. There are so many entertainments here that I do not know what to choose! It's terrible!
Well, if you stupid weeaboos still don’t realize, that this Yuta guy hates his own identity and his biggest wish would be, that the japanese government would open the border to flood the whole country with criminal refugees for total diversity..
That just tells you all you need to know....things "you might hate about living in one particular country" : poverty, crime, bad healthcare, public places that suck and so on....Japan ? Nah. Trees, man. That's Japan's worst element. Where do I sign ?
Earthquakes and tsunamis are also rather nasty, I assume. On the other hand, it is very impressive, how everything gets back to normal in Japan after such an event. I heard even Yakuza was there to help people after the 2011 disaster.
I love Japan, but there are a LOT of social, economic, political, and legal issues that are very serious in Japan. Cedar trees are by no means the biggest issue. Lack of workers' rights, severely declining population, stunted economic development, discrimination against foreigners, extremely high suicide rates, social taboos and stigma, etc... Japan has many wonderful attributes too, overall it's a great country to live in, but let's not ignore the very real problems.
Thats like me saying what I hate about America is all the people who talk with food in their mouth. More of a preference rather than a something that is native to the country.
In North Carolina during pollen season everything coats in yellow like snow. People like me who are allergic to pollen almost die every year when spring starts.
Cryptomeria japonica is it’s own separate genus altogether. That being said, their common name in English is “Japanese red cedar” and I love them too! Beautiful trees.
Yeah, I've watched the recent tsunami wipe out whole coastal towns, and there's a rumor that companies are spreading the radioactive concrete from Fukushima around the country to hide contamination, and his huge and only complaint is CEDAR TREES... But I forgive him, cuz I like his content and humility. :)
I hate how convenience stores in Japan, always give you lots of unwanted plastic junk (spoons, straws, chopsticks etc). Just leave it on the counter and I'll take it if I want it. They fill bag up with trash, that ends up getting burnt, not recycled.
It's a convenience store for everyone not a snowflake's desire. Every country does it so it's probably a UN thing to implement some anti-plastic campaigns.
You can't imagine how much I relate to your hatred right now. I suffer from a terrible allergy to Birch pollen, and right now, as I'm typing this message, my life is a lving hell. My nose is a mess, my eyes are filled with blood and my eyelids look like parchment. i also have dark circles so red you'd think I'm trying to carve my eyes out (which is almost the case actually). Glad to see you're able to protect yourself, seeing your face is alright.
I have 花粉症 bad right now too here in Tokyo. FWIW, it can be very bad in the US too - I grew up in the south US where the ragweed and the pine pollen make a yellow coat over everything. hang in there!
In the northeast USA, maple tree pollen makes a yellowish green coat on everything. I'm also one of those strange people who prefers the cold/cool over hot and humid. Like when it's that hot and humid, it's hard to even do anything outside lol...
@Kai Many foreigners living in Tokyo cannot speak or write Japanese even after many years so it makes them feel good to drop one word or two in Japanese in the middle of the foreign language they are speaking it's just a pathetic attempt to hide their ignorance of the Japanese language.
I'd rather deal with that than seeing your car literally rust away in front of your eyes from the road salt. And sliding in the snow in a 2WD car gets old after a while.
And if you think the pollen is bad, there's the weather, which is 1. Not in anyway dictated by the season, 2. is almost nothing but an extreme in terms of temperature, and 3. in winter, can switch from the two extremes in the span of a week (I could where shorts one week, and the next see my breath in broad daylight.)
Wearing shorts and seeing your breath in 10F weather with 2' of snow is how they do it up north. You can wear shorts any time of the year. But just because you can doesn't mean you should...
We have similar if not the same trees in Moscow. We call it the new winter snow because when it blooms it drops a lot of white hairballs, and the whole road will be completely covered by it. Many people too have an allergy
5:07 sooooo.... can we expect more parts on What I Hate About Living in Japan"? I thought you are going to speak about many different things and not just the environment. I mean, there must be social problems too. Every country has 'em...
Yeah, from the title and start of the video, I expected a few more things he doesn't like about his country... But he really got into his cedar tree rant, and when he finished that, the video was over! :) ...Actually, he did mention a social problem. He spent like 5 seconds complaining about it being a conformist culture.
my polen brother :) I'm currently also suffering from polen alergia in middle of Europe, I know how bad this is, and it gets always the worst at university exam time stay strong :))
I have hay fever in my own country and I would probably have hay fever in Japan. There are a few things that you can to that will help if you don'a already know. First thing is get you some local honey within a
Hey Yuuta! Have you ever considered becoming a magician? Your hand gestures make me dodge all the time just in case there's a fireball going to fly at me any second. :D ...Internet often doesn't get sarcasm, so just in case: I don't mean it as offence and I don't mean that I'm annoyed by it. Don't put your words in my mouth. Thank you. :)
I've never been to Japan sadly, but there's one thing coming out of Japan that I really hate and that is when some chefs put gari (pickled ginger) INSIDE of the sushi. I'm sorry Japan! But I will never understand why people like the taste of pickled ginger. It just taste horrible to me. From what I've learned though, the traditional use of gari is supposed to be as a small side-condiment to eat BETWEEN dishes in order to clean the palate from flavors so you can appreciate the next dish better. But I've come across sushi restaurants (staffed with japanese people who claim to have taken their recipes with them from home, so it wasn't a case of clueless foreigners or anything) where they purposefully put pieces of gari inside the makizushi, and it just ruins the whole meal for me. :/ Please! Just let the gari be a side-condiment and let the guest choose for himself when or if he actually wants to eat it or not and we'll all be happy.
No Japanese chef in Japan would put Gari inside the sushi. That's blasphemy o.o You might want to know that American sushi is different than Japanese sushi. Jun's kitchen made a video on that stating the differences in the comments.
Nakop: Ok, but these experiences were in Europe though. And like I said, the staff at the restaurant was japanese. And I really wondered what they were thinking putting gari inside of the sushi like that. Now I know, I can be a bit picky when it comes to sushi. For instance, i'm very particular about the kirin and sugar mixture that you treat the rice with when preparing sushi. It's very important that the mixture is just right. Not too much sugar, but also not too little. (at least I think it was called kirin. It was a very long time ago since I tried preparing sushi myself. I remember that I used crayfish tails for filler, but also that I got a bit too much wasabi so the maki ended up being a bit spicy, bit it did taste nice anyhow) But putting gari inside, that gave me a bit of a shock. It seemed like such a strange, out of the ordinary thing to do.
Seven Proxies I'd say it's like Chinese restaurants outside of China: they offer Chinese inspired meals that are adjusted to the western taste. The Chinese food sold in those restaurants has practically nothing to do with actual Chinese food although all the restaurants are run by Chinese people. In my country in Europe it's common that the sushi sold in supermarkets has no rice seasoning at all.. So far I only know 2 restaurants in my country where the sushi actually tastes like the one Japan (I have been there). And I can assure you I have tried a lot of sushi restaurants here (all of them were run by Asians. Sometimes Chinese, some by Japanese etc. For those two good ones: one has a Japanese chef and the other one a Vietnamese, funny huh?). I even tried sushi in Russia: they use tomatoes and mayonnaise for the filling. And they deep fry the rolls...
Nakop: It doesn't have to be traditional to taste good. I imagine that mayonnaise could go pretty well with sushi. But of course it's not very authentic. What struck me as wierd with the gari was that it seemed to have been prepared with mostly authentic ingredients, but been done in a strange and apparently unauthentic way, which also didn't improve or enhance the flavor at all. Don't get me wrong, I might not like the taste of pickled ginger myself, but I can understand it's purpose. It's like when you eat really strong peppermint or eucalyptus. It really cleans out your sinuses and rinse all other flavors out of your mouth. But I wouldn't want peppermint or eucalyptus IN any food for the same reason I wouldn't want pickled ginger in it.
I have chronic hayfever too. Constant runny nose and sneezing. It worsens every year, now I also get dry coughs every spring/summer. I just hate hot weather in general (mosquitoes, spiders, etc too).
I feel like Japan is an important country to me as they are very creative and I am dying to come there for the holidays as well as chatting with people
There's a red light device that you plug into your nostrils. It is battery operated and painless. Use it for a few minutes a day and it really helps with the nasal symptoms, you'll still have to deal with the eye symptoms separately. You can get them on amazon for cheap. I wish I discovered it sooner. First year I used it daily but second year I didn't need it at all. I just used eye drops for my eye symptoms. I think I might have to use it in the third (this) year as I feel a hint of symptoms starting up now.

My eyes are also red... because of...erhm.. hay fever.
In Texas we have a pollen season that’s so bad that everything is blanketed in yellow. Literally. It’s like a light snow has come through except the sow is yellow instead of white.
It's too bad Japan won't retake Taiwan even if the retaking is done democratically by referendum because it will mean war with china. As for Korea, you can get slapped silly if you say such thing in public.
Hay fever also exists in Germany, especially in the countryside. You wouldn't believe the effect of a few birch tress near your house or how strongly you can react to grass blossom. A lot of agriculture here is around growing grass as food for animals, you can literally drive though endless fields of grass (and some corn here and there) during summer. I wonder how people a few hundred years ago coped with allergies or whether they didn't know them to such an extent.
Don't feel alone. In Central Texas we have what is called Cedar Fever. It's actually Juniper Ashe trees and so from December to February, there are a lot of us that suffer with headaches, sneezing and watery red eyes.
I can understand your problems with allergies! I have similar allergies in my part of the U. S., and these can be miserable! I'm glad for medicines that keep me from being so affected, and I hope you have such medicines available in Japan! Also - I note that you seem to be using a Behringer condenser mic for your voice. It does a good job of capturing the sound of your voice, and it sounds very natural. That's nice.
What I hate about living in the Northwest United States: It rains too much. Winters are just really unpleasant unless it's either snowing or sunny (well, snow might not be pleasant for most actually). What I like about living in the Northwest: Summers. They're actually quite nice. :)
Only thing I had about Japan is the cops constantly hounding me for speeding on my scooter. Not even going fast just barely over 40km but it's 'against the law' I'm constantly forced to be on the vigil for cops esp the motorbike patrol, man it's annoying
is the pollen from cedar trees still around during summer? i was in japan last year, and suddenly had crazy allergies during my entire stay, it was during july and august, i while i had been just fine during my previous visit in february of the previous year, i havent experience such allergies in my home country so i'm not sure what it could be
I have been to Japan a few times and there are a few things I hate. 1. The traffic in some areas. In my state, I drive everywhere and traffic is not that bad. I am not a fan of walking or taking a train/subway. This is also why I hate New York. 2. In addition to the many people, in the same areas, it would be hard to have a cat that I could let outside. And I would much rather live in cities than outside cities.
Cerulean Skigh Actually cats are better off being outdoor and indoor cats. You are basically forcing them to suppress their natural instincts. Also, out of two cats I have had for 10 years, they only caught 3 birds total. But over 100 mice, chipmunks, frogs, etc.
I've the same issue as you when it comes to allergies, although to be more clear: It's not the pollen that's the problem, only the trigger but not the cause - it's the overproduced histamine in the human body. The histamine helps to expand the cell walls allowing for more blood (and particularly white blood cells as a response) and the increased fluids make the eyes water as well overproduced snot in the nasal cavity. That's why the antihistamine is necessary, to restrict the response because technically our immune system is fighting all the time (which is good) but the increased histamine is a double-edged sword.
I have to agree with hayfever. I don't suffer from it (yet), but I know so many people who do and it seems hellish. I know it's a very unpopular opinion, but the thing I dislike most about Japan is Kanji. Life would be so much easier for everyone if Kanji never existed. If anyone is thinking about arguing, don't bother. I know my opinion is very unpopular and Kanji will never disappear, but that's how I feel.
Actually I understand him well. I am studying in Japan. Once I went to an elementary school to give a presentation about my country and the kids asked me about my favorite season. I said spring, especially in Japan, because there is pretty sakura blossom and nice weather etc etc, and they looked shocked and didn't understand why would anyone like spring. Then the teacher asked "Ok kids, who has hay fever, raise your hands!" and ALMOST EVERY SINGLE KID did it. So I kind of understand Yuta. Thankfully I am not allergic even to Japanese cedar tree but I feel bad for the Japanese :( In my country in eastern Europe we have lots of flowers and one type of tree which is particularly nasty in summer, but in my class in school there were maybe 1 to 3 kids who had hay fever.
I lived in Japan, and yeah... Many people are allergic to sugi trees (genus "Cryptomeria", technically not cedars), and complain about it all throughout the spring (when they should be doing hanami). It is strange that the situation persists even though millions of people are affected. It's weird that that was the tree that was planted all over Japan, even though they must have known that it produces allergies in many people.
If you already have hay fever, would you still have hay fever when traveling to Japan, or would the pollen be fundamentally different to the point where you wouldn’t have allergic reactions to it?
I had awful hay-fever when I lived in Japan during cedar season. I can relate. It seemed to trigger something in my body too since returning home because now I get bad hay-fever when the native pine trees are blooming in my country which never really affected me before.
Karoushi really is only prevalent among japanese salarymen. I lived in japan for a year and living in japan as a foreigner is better than living in japan as a japanese. As foreigners we dont get the same pressure expectations as japanese do. I thoroughly enjoyed living there and being able to actually walk around (anytime of day AND night) completely relaxed and not looking over my shoulder all the time was the best. I never felt such a complete piece of mind, truely being able to just be without having my guard up.
Dear Yuta Have you heard of the medical process called desensitizing, it's quite expensive though, but considering you don't live in the USA your healthcare provider will probably cover most of the costs. Just thought it might be helpful, because I also suffered a lot with hayfever during the spring until I got desensitized. I was allergic to grass and birch trees, those things are also everywhere, so I feel your pain. Your channel rocks, keep making videos! Hope to visit Japan soon.
The trains are most crowded between 5pm~7pm, which means most people are working 40 hours a week. Don't buy the hyperbole. Americans work longer hours per week on average than the Japanese.
I was just in a 50 hours a week night job with over fifty hours worth of mandatory overtime. Not a cushy office job, either. A warehouse job. Japan is not that special in this area.
YUTA I was pollen allergic for many years, like 20 years ago. In spring I would look like on a permanent flue condition. I even did a treatment were they inject you with a solution that contains small amounts of the stuff you are allergic to. I stopped that treatment after like 2 years. It never helped me and the injections got unbearable because there was no more space on my arms to be injected. It was like twice a week, so it turned up to be to painful. But what cured me was bee pollen, it is super healthy, has a lot of vitamins and minerals and for some reason I didn't get any allergic reaction by consuming it orally. I take it every day in the morning on an empty stomach as a replacement of synthetic multivitamin, to complement my diet. You need to put a tea spoon of it on a little bit of water so it dissolves over night, otherwise it just get out strait out of your body. It is naturally granulated and the stomach does not have time to properly dissolve by itself in digestion. The thing is that now I don't have any allergic reaction in spring time for many, many years now even if I stop taking bee pollen which I have when I have lived in places were I can find it. There is here also a type of tree that makes people very sick and now I am also protected from that. Remember allergies is a reaction were your body has an exaggerated reaction to a foreign substance, when you take small amounts of pollen for a long time your body get used to it. Now at the beginning you need to test yourself and take small amounts to see what type of reaction you get. Find the amount that does not make your body to have a bad reaction and then with time, slowly increments it to a full tea spoon per day.
About the nasal spray/decongestant, can we get anywhere? I also need it to survive on a daily basis lol so I was wondering if it's fairly easy to get it in Japan. Thx in advance!
You need a prescription to buy the one I use in Japan and I don't like that, so I buy it from other countries without prescription, mostly in Southeast Asia.
I understand completely! Back in the US, I HAD to take medicine every single day and sometimes even switch because it would stop working. Since I've been in Japan for about 4 months, I've only needed to use eye drops a few times and take 2 doses of allergy pills. Beats the heck out of living in Michigan.
Cedar tree hates you too Yuta thats why it gives you Hayfever. I hate the fact that Japan is so damn radioactive, i always have to worry about cancer. I hate that I have to speak japanese and the way everyone is overly polite but rude at the same time.
Probably, but don't kid yourself into thinking this isn't about the clicks. The title alludes to much more than just hayfever. Yuta's English is good enough or him to know that, and his build-up shows that he does.
Did you stop and even consider that Yuta may not find many things to hate about his own country. Sure, there are niggles and annoyances here and there but overall perhaps, JUST PERHAPS, he doesn't really hate any of these things as he can deal with them? Too much to ask to consider about, eh? Then go to the other creators' videos he showed in his intro. He did say he's detailing what *HE*, strong emphasis on the word *HE*, dislikes about Japan. If he chose to focus on this subject with his point, then that is his decision to make NOT yours.
I'm pretty sure they are friends. Not that it matters and definitely doesn't mean you shouldn't state your opinion regardless. I'm just saying saying. I'm also assuming you meant Nobita and that Nobuta was a typo.
Trees don't bother and it's only honeysuckle that bloom in the fall where I'm from that bother me. But the only major thing we worry about is tornadoes. The parts where we're from is known as Tornado Alley for a good reason.
I feel you with the tree pollen. I pretty much have annual sinus infections as a result of the pine trees here in Tennessee. In the spring, there's a thick layer of bright yellow dust all over everything. And I do mean everything. It's miserable.
My list: 1) The train. A friend of mine once said it got so tight, she was lifted off the ground. And some are very intolerant when people speak and joke around (Not loud). No one gave a friendly reminder and one just started lashing out. Apparently, there is some unwritten rule to not allow speaking in train or something. 2) Some people are rude. I was at a restaurant and seeing that the waiter looked busy, I helped myself to getting the menu. Boy was he mad. Reprimanding me and and snatching plates off my table the moment I finished eating. But his colleague who is at the cashier much nicer. 3) Google maps is unusable. 4) Some who don't speak english don't even try to understand what I am trying to say and just point to an English sign saying something totally unrelated to my question.
Well, that's a good thing to know! And now I'm pretty sure my dreams to actually living in Japan has become rather difficult; may hayfever is the worst. Fevers, scratchy sore throat, red, itchy eyes and a runny nose. Oh boy!! Seriously happy that I know that now, thank you Yuta!
Hey Yuta, have you heard of "shidatoren"? It's something you can take that is supposed to help your body build up a resistance to your allergies. I've been in Japan for more than ten years and I'm badly allergic to Japanese cedar. But I've been taking shidatoren for a year and a half now and the last two springs have been much more tolerable than the previous eight. Ask your doctor about it. If you start taking it now, you should see a difference next spring.
I also have MAJOR spring allergies with pollen, but I've resolved my issues here in the U.S. by getting regular allergy shots. I went from barely being able to breathe during allergy season a few years ago to essentially zero symptoms today. You may want to see if that's an option for yourself, Yuta! :)

*Thinks it may be a topic such as politics, the government, a law, the way businesses run, etc.*
"So there's this tree I'm allergic to..."
10/10
Exactly what I was gonna comment :D
I click on this video expecting complex political and sociological discussion, but no, I get some trivial complaints about trees!
Also, we get hayfever in every country, not just Japan; I'm British and I get horrendous hayfever every spring and summer. Yuta appears to think hayfever is unique to Japan. He's clearly delusional.
Deep Red He is clearly not delusional. He is just talking about something he doesn't like about Japan. It is a valid topic since hayfever there seems to be much more common than in most countries. I don't think there are many countries with half of its population suffering from that at those levels.
Exactly! WEAK!
If your biggest complaint is pollen then your country's alright
It's not his biggest complaint. It's just a complaint no one has brought up, that's why he choose to talk about it.
He clearly explained before starting that he has complains but it is not a 100% negative. He isn't wrong if he prefers to see a good side of things instead of the bad side like most foreign youtubers seemed to make a big deal out of it.
I just imagine that a tree is making national headlines as government leaders discuss this pollen crisis.
Neurofed Yamato, you're probably 100% right, and I'm visualizing it happening and think 'yup, it's making headlines' - the graphs for pollen like you see for rain prove that it's in weather news enough to need graphing.
D S LOL! Most debt are owned by Japanese citizens, Birth rates are higher than south Korea and China! Proverty lol!

3. The policeman asked me whether everything is in order for the third time in a month. How annoying!

5. There are so many entertainments here that I do not know what to choose! It's terrible!
Exerion try the sex robots
Exerion what do you mean by #3
6. The damn anime girls now Imma hikikomori
A serious animation of this would be great lol
It's a joke and yet anti-Americans would bitch about #3 lol
I came here expecting a rant on japanese society and ended up learning about cedar trees
Ranting is not the solution to anything. Either you should let it go or take necessary action in terms of voting and stuffs.
I though he gonna talk about several things but looks like he really hates that tree
He went right to the root of the problem.
Lmao
Lol so true.
Well, if you stupid weeaboos still don’t realize, that this Yuta guy hates his own identity and his biggest wish would be, that the japanese government would open the border to flood the whole country with criminal refugees for total diversity..
@@oOBlueBubbleOo how? What is your evidence of this?
"... Except Okinawa" he says with clear annoyance. XD
Oki is the best! Ryukyu kingdom shall rise again.
For the three mountains!
Okinawa is very beautiful, I was stationed on White Beach for two years. Never ever been to a more beautiful place in my life.
you wouldn't think it so beautiful in 1945 :D... dead bodies everywhere.
Alex Friedman You mean like almost everywhere else during the war?
That just tells you all you need to know....things "you might hate about living in one particular country" : poverty, crime, bad healthcare, public places that suck and so on....Japan ? Nah. Trees, man. That's Japan's worst element. Where do I sign ?
And this is the reason I'm moving there in a couple months :-D
Earthquakes and tsunamis are also rather nasty, I assume. On the other hand, it is very impressive, how everything gets back to normal in Japan after such an event. I heard even Yakuza was there to help people after the 2011 disaster.
I love Japan, but there are a LOT of social, economic, political, and legal issues that are very serious in Japan. Cedar trees are by no means the biggest issue.

Mark Hogan Japan is 26 on ranking on suicide rates! Birth rates are same as Germany
That's exactly the answer I was looking for. Thank you. Now I can die in peace :D
"You probably won't wear a mask, because they aren't very confortable" I remember those days
What you hate about Japan in a nutshell: I HATE CEDAR TREES THEY MAKE ME ALLERGIC!!
Thats like me saying what I hate about America is all the people who talk with food in their mouth.
More of a preference rather than a something that is native to the country.
What I hate

wassup im in nc too
Gotta love cheerwine state
Well, good luck. Isn't spring around the corner there?

Hm. I love Cedar trees. One man's allergy is another man's treasure.
So, ironically, you just gave me yet another reason to want to go live in Japan.
Mi I don’t think we have Cedar Trees in Alberta
they aren't cedar. Cryptomeria japonica is a species of Cypress family
I love e-ku-su-pu-rooo-sion!
Cryptomeria japonica is it’s own separate genus altogether. That being said, their common name in English is “Japanese red cedar” and I love them too! Beautiful trees.

But I forgive him, cuz I like his content and humility. :)
I hate how convenience stores in Japan, always give you lots of unwanted plastic junk (spoons, straws, chopsticks etc). Just leave it on the counter and I'll take it if I want it. They fill bag up with trash, that ends up getting burnt, not recycled.
It's a convenience store for everyone not a snowflake's desire. Every country does it so it's probably a UN thing to implement some anti-plastic campaigns.
Just say "iranai desu" and they won't put give you that
Wait what they don’t do that they usually ask u do u need it and put it in if u say yuppers maybe only where I lived Idk
I thought this was "hiding in my room" for a sec
😂
I have hayfever as well... fuck that kafun ! 🤧
I should have said that in the video. Fuck pollen lol
Hi... I love your t shirt
You can't imagine how much I relate to your hatred right now. I suffer from a terrible allergy to Birch pollen, and right now, as I'm typing this message, my life is a lving hell.
My nose is a mess, my eyes are filled with blood and my eyelids look like parchment. i also have dark circles so red you'd think I'm trying to carve my eyes out (which is almost the case actually).
Glad to see you're able to protect yourself, seeing your face is alright.
I have 花粉症 bad right now too here in Tokyo. FWIW, it can be very bad in the US too - I grew up in the south US where the ragweed and the pine pollen make a yellow coat over everything. hang in there!
You're writing in English, why did you choose not to write Hay Fever?
In the northeast USA, maple tree pollen makes a yellowish green coat on everything.
I'm also one of those strange people who prefers the cold/cool over hot and humid. Like when it's that hot and humid, it's hard to even do anything outside lol...
@Kai Many foreigners living in Tokyo cannot speak or write Japanese even after many years so it makes them feel good to drop one word or two in Japanese in the middle of the foreign language they are speaking it's just a pathetic attempt to hide their ignorance of the Japanese language.
"Masks aren't comfortable"
Yeah.....about that
Yuta, have you considered immunization to get rid or reduce of your allergy?
Also, DK just released new air filters, maybe they could help your home to be pollen-free?
Haha come to the Southern United States in the spring. Those antihistamines will barely work. The pollen will crush you and your cars paint job. 😁
MrFester , agreed
I'd rather deal with that than seeing your car literally rust away in front of your eyes from the road salt. And sliding in the snow in a 2WD car gets old after a while.
And if you think the pollen is bad, there's the weather, which is 1. Not in anyway dictated by the season, 2. is almost nothing but an extreme in terms of temperature, and 3. in winter, can switch from the two extremes in the span of a week (I could where shorts one week, and the next see my breath in broad daylight.)
Wearing shorts and seeing your breath in 10F weather with 2' of snow is how they do it up north. You can wear shorts any time of the year. But just because you can doesn't mean you should...
In the Midwest, I wear shorts year round. I get made fun of for that though, especially when it gets to be -40 with windchill. Everyone is different
Nobody:
Yuta: I H A T E C E D A R T R E E ! ! !
We have similar if not the same trees in Moscow. We call it the new winter snow because when it blooms it drops a lot of white hairballs, and the whole road will be completely covered by it. Many people too have an allergy
5:07 sooooo.... can we expect more parts on What I Hate About Living in Japan"? I thought you are going to speak about many different things and not just the environment. I mean, there must be social problems too. Every country has 'em...
Rufus Neumann two words. Shinzo. Abe.
Yeah, from the title and start of the video, I expected a few more things he doesn't like about his country... But he really got into his cedar tree rant, and when he finished that, the video was over! :) ...Actually, he did mention a social problem. He spent like 5 seconds complaining about it being a conformist culture.
my polen brother :)
I'm currently also suffering from polen alergia in middle of Europe, I know how bad this is, and it gets always the worst at university exam time
stay strong :))
I have the same issue in Georgia, USA. But it's not just Cedar trees here. Pollen visibly covers everything in a green powder.
I have hay fever in my own country and I would probably have hay fever in Japan. There are a few things that you can to that will help if you don'a already know. First thing is get you some local honey within a
I hate how Japan isn't like my animu
Go back to the anime world. lol
@@kazuki10500 Don't encourage them.
2018: you probably won't wear a mask because they're uncomfortable
2021: yeeeaah
I feel ya. I had extreme hayfever from 0 - 16 years old, then it stopped. Such a relief.
i love your shirt, haha where can i get that
Hey Yuuta! Have you ever considered becoming a magician? Your hand gestures make me dodge all the time just in case there's a fireball going to fly at me any second. :D
...Internet often doesn't get sarcasm, so just in case: I don't mean it as offence and I don't mean that I'm annoyed by it. Don't put your words in my mouth. Thank you. :)
maybe he's part Italian..
Great video Yuta 👍
*says cedar trees *
Me : * close the vid*
Really nice video. It's lack of drama is so refreshing.
I've never been to Japan sadly, but there's one thing coming out of Japan that I really hate and that is when some chefs put gari (pickled ginger) INSIDE of the sushi.
I'm sorry Japan! But I will never understand why people like the taste of pickled ginger. It just taste horrible to me.
From what I've learned though, the traditional use of gari is supposed to be as a small side-condiment to eat BETWEEN dishes in order to clean the palate from flavors so you can appreciate the next dish better. But I've come across sushi restaurants (staffed with japanese people who claim to have taken their recipes with them from home, so it wasn't a case of clueless foreigners or anything) where they purposefully put pieces of gari inside the makizushi, and it just ruins the whole meal for me. :/
Please! Just let the gari be a side-condiment and let the guest choose for himself when or if he actually wants to eat it or not and we'll all be happy.
Seven Proxies I tried it, tasted like a soap strip to me.
No Japanese chef in Japan would put Gari inside the sushi. That's blasphemy o.o
You might want to know that American sushi is different than Japanese sushi. Jun's kitchen made a video on that stating the differences in the comments.
Nakop: Ok, but these experiences were in Europe though. And like I said, the staff at the restaurant was japanese.
And I really wondered what they were thinking putting gari inside of the sushi like that.
Now I know, I can be a bit picky when it comes to sushi. For instance, i'm very particular about the kirin and sugar mixture that you treat the rice with when preparing sushi. It's very important that the mixture is just right. Not too much sugar, but also not too little. (at least I think it was called kirin. It was a very long time ago since I tried preparing sushi myself. I remember that I used crayfish tails for filler, but also that I got a bit too much wasabi so the maki ended up being a bit spicy, bit it did taste nice anyhow)
But putting gari inside, that gave me a bit of a shock. It seemed like such a strange, out of the ordinary thing to do.
Seven Proxies I'd say it's like Chinese restaurants outside of China: they offer Chinese inspired meals that are adjusted to the western taste. The Chinese food sold in those restaurants has practically nothing to do with actual Chinese food although all the restaurants are run by Chinese people.
In my country in Europe it's common that the sushi sold in supermarkets has no rice seasoning at all.. So far I only know 2 restaurants in my country where the sushi actually tastes like the one Japan (I have been there). And I can assure you I have tried a lot of sushi restaurants here (all of them were run by Asians. Sometimes Chinese, some by Japanese etc. For those two good ones: one has a Japanese chef and the other one a Vietnamese, funny huh?).
I even tried sushi in Russia: they use tomatoes and mayonnaise for the filling. And they deep fry the rolls...
Nakop: It doesn't have to be traditional to taste good. I imagine that mayonnaise could go pretty well with sushi. But of course it's not very authentic.
What struck me as wierd with the gari was that it seemed to have been prepared with mostly authentic ingredients, but been done in a strange and apparently unauthentic way, which also didn't improve or enhance the flavor at all.
Don't get me wrong, I might not like the taste of pickled ginger myself, but I can understand it's purpose. It's like when you eat really strong peppermint or eucalyptus. It really cleans out your sinuses and rinse all other flavors out of your mouth. But I wouldn't want peppermint or eucalyptus IN any food for the same reason I wouldn't want pickled ginger in it.
I have chronic hayfever too. Constant runny nose and sneezing. It worsens every year, now I also get dry coughs every spring/summer. I just hate hot weather in general (mosquitoes, spiders, etc too).
Where can I buy your T shirt??
I feel like Japan is an important country to me as they are very creative and I am dying to come there for the holidays as well as chatting with people
I’m moving to tokyo on my 18th birthday😍
StealthCujo Alone?
Oh that's good! May you have a happy trip 😄
Moving this July. I'll see you there mwahahahhahahahahha
Good luck! :D
StealthCujo Don’t set your expectations too high. Don’t expect Japan to change your life. It’s a great country, but don’t get let down.
There's a red light device that you plug into your nostrils. It is battery operated and painless. Use it for a few minutes a day and it really helps with the nasal symptoms, you'll still have to deal with the eye symptoms separately. You can get them on amazon for cheap.
I wish I discovered it sooner. First year I used it daily but second year I didn't need it at all. I just used eye drops for my eye symptoms. I think I might have to use it in the third (this) year as I feel a hint of symptoms starting up now.
My eyes are also red... because of...erhm.. hay fever.

In Texas we have a pollen season that’s so bad that everything is blanketed in yellow. Literally. It’s like a light snow has come through except the sow is yellow instead of white.
Vote for Yuta as Japan prime minister to retake Taiwan and Korea so he can have safer places to live without those trees.
as a taiwanese, i don't mind actually because at least we wouldn't have to deal with china anymore lmao
It's too bad Japan won't retake Taiwan even if the retaking is done democratically by referendum because it will mean war with china. As for Korea, you can get slapped silly if you say such thing in public.
Joseph Studley see, China fucks everything up. Why can't they just mind their own God damn business?
Brandon Jinjiyoshi Tilley lol
Yeah, as a Taiwanese I'd love for Japan to take over Taiwan again
Hay fever also exists in Germany, especially in the countryside. You wouldn't believe the effect of a few birch tress near your house or how strongly you can react to grass blossom. A lot of agriculture here is around growing grass as food for animals, you can literally drive though endless fields of grass (and some corn here and there) during summer. I wonder how people a few hundred years ago coped with allergies or whether they didn't know them to such an extent.
America is falling apart right now and the worst thing in Japan is trees.. man I was born in the wrong country
Don't feel alone. In Central Texas we have what is called Cedar Fever. It's actually Juniper Ashe trees and so from December to February, there are a lot of us that suffer with headaches, sneezing and watery red eyes.
so the whole video is about a tree 😂
I can understand your problems with allergies! I have similar allergies in my part of the U. S., and these can be miserable! I'm glad for medicines that keep me from being so affected, and I hope you have such medicines available in Japan! Also - I note that you seem to be using a Behringer condenser mic for your voice. It does a good job of capturing the sound of your voice, and it sounds very natural. That's nice.
I know how that feels, I really hate it when I'm sick,
What I hate about living in the Northwest United States: It rains too much. Winters are just really unpleasant unless it's either snowing or sunny (well, snow might not be pleasant for most actually).
What I like about living in the Northwest: Summers. They're actually quite nice. :)
OMG I have the exact same issue and I live in armenia
Only thing I had about Japan is the cops constantly hounding me for speeding on my scooter. Not even going fast just barely over 40km but it's 'against the law' I'm constantly forced to be on the vigil for cops esp the motorbike patrol, man it's annoying
Hello Yuta 👋
"What I hate about living in Japan"
Yuta: "Allergies!!! ... Yeah, that's about it."
So that's it? I was expecting something much more severe than allergies
is the pollen from cedar trees still around during summer? i was in japan last year, and suddenly had crazy allergies during my entire stay, it was during july and august, i while i had been just fine during my previous visit in february of the previous year, i havent experience such allergies in my home country so i'm not sure what it could be
also which medication would you recommend? cause the one i took had me feeling so sleepy the entire time
I have been to Japan a few times and there are a few things I hate.
1. The traffic in some areas. In my state, I drive everywhere and traffic is not that bad. I am not a fan of walking or taking a train/subway. This is also why I hate New York.
2. In addition to the many people, in the same areas, it would be hard to have a cat that I could let outside. And I would much rather live in cities than outside cities.
Cry Bloodwing get used to walking
You want to live in cities but drive everywhere... lmfao
Cerulean Skigh Actually cats are better off being outdoor and indoor cats. You are basically forcing them to suppress their natural instincts. Also, out of two cats I have had for 10 years, they only caught 3 birds total. But over 100 mice, chipmunks, frogs, etc.
The only things you hate about japan is traffic and cats? Pfft.
Kakkarot Red No. I love cats. But if I live in the city, I would not feel comfortable with my cat going outside. And she loves being outside
I have hay fever too and it is the absolute worst, glad you have shared this, people without hay fever (or people in deserts) have it so easy
i wish i live in japan...
I've the same issue as you when it comes to allergies, although to be more clear: It's not the pollen that's the problem, only the trigger but not the cause - it's the overproduced histamine in the human body. The histamine helps to expand the cell walls allowing for more blood (and particularly white blood cells as a response) and the increased fluids make the eyes water as well overproduced snot in the nasal cavity.
That's why the antihistamine is necessary, to restrict the response because technically our immune system is fighting all the time (which is good) but the increased histamine is a double-edged sword.
I have to agree with hayfever. I don't suffer from it (yet), but I know so many people who do and it seems hellish.
I know it's a very unpopular opinion, but the thing I dislike most about Japan is Kanji. Life would be so much easier for everyone if Kanji never existed.
If anyone is thinking about arguing, don't bother. I know my opinion is very unpopular and Kanji will never disappear, but that's how I feel.
TrickWithAKnife I can't belive you done this
I said I don't like Kanji. It's not like I ate a kitten.
Well, I think Kanji is one of the best things of Japan. Kanji is beautiful!
TrickWithAKnife
*shows footage of you eating a kitten*
Then what's this?
good luck trying to decipher which of the 50000 homophone words someone meant to use without kanji lmao
Actually I understand him well. I am studying in Japan. Once I went to an elementary school to give a presentation about my country and the kids asked me about my favorite season. I said spring, especially in Japan, because there is pretty sakura blossom and nice weather etc etc, and they looked shocked and didn't understand why would anyone like spring. Then the teacher asked "Ok kids, who has hay fever, raise your hands!" and ALMOST EVERY SINGLE KID did it. So I kind of understand Yuta. Thankfully I am not allergic even to Japanese cedar tree but I feel bad for the Japanese :( In my country in eastern Europe we have lots of flowers and one type of tree which is particularly nasty in summer, but in my class in school there were maybe 1 to 3 kids who had hay fever.
👍👌
I lived in Japan, and yeah... Many people are allergic to sugi trees (genus "Cryptomeria", technically not cedars), and complain about it all throughout the spring (when they should be doing hanami). It is strange that the situation persists even though millions of people are affected. It's weird that that was the tree that was planted all over Japan, even though they must have known that it produces allergies in many people.
That Gaijin Man Yuta
If you already have hay fever, would you still have hay fever when traveling to Japan, or would the pollen be fundamentally different to the point where you wouldn’t have allergic reactions to it?
First world problems
I had awful hay-fever when I lived in Japan during cedar season. I can relate. It seemed to trigger something in my body too since returning home because now I get bad hay-fever when the native pine trees are blooming in my country which never really affected me before.
It does not matter. Japan still the best country with me. I always want to go and live there
huy nguyen karoushi.
Karoushi really is only prevalent among japanese salarymen. I lived in japan for a year and living in japan as a foreigner is better than living in japan as a japanese. As foreigners we dont get the same pressure expectations as japanese do. I thoroughly enjoyed living there and being able to actually walk around (anytime of day AND night) completely relaxed and not looking over my shoulder all the time was the best. I never felt such a complete piece of mind, truely being able to just be without having my guard up.
MetalforOden anytime of day? what do you mean?
What do you mean what do i mean... You must not have grown up in a shitty area.
MetalforOden I have/do. I just don't understand why it'd be easier for a foreigner.
Dear Yuta
Have you heard of the medical process called desensitizing, it's quite expensive though, but considering you don't live in the USA your healthcare provider will probably cover most of the costs. Just thought it might be helpful, because I also suffered a lot with hayfever during the spring until I got desensitized. I was allergic to grass and birch trees, those things are also everywhere, so I feel your pain. Your channel rocks, keep making videos! Hope to visit Japan soon.
That's pretty rough...
I can definitely relate to this. It's why going to places like parks and certain CUNY schools are terrible for me once spring starts.
Hi from Taiwan
I just focus ur T shirt 😀
Denny Mindarwati yeah I love the "ebi fly" shirt he wears every now and then. I need that shirt *-*
Nakop me too 😄how to buy and where can to buy 🙊🙊
5:05 Ah, the past. Now I wouldn't dream of leaving home without a mask on!
Im surprised, Yuta, didn't mention anything about the long working hours people go through everyday and how easy it is to get porn.
Pink Gold Peach i don’t see why anyone would hate easy access to porn.
The trains are most crowded between 5pm~7pm, which means most people are working 40 hours a week. Don't buy the hyperbole. Americans work longer hours per week on average than the Japanese.
I was just in a 50 hours a week night job with over fifty hours worth of mandatory overtime. Not a cushy office job, either. A warehouse job. Japan is not that special in this area.
YUTA I was pollen allergic for many years, like 20 years ago. In spring I would look like on a permanent flue condition. I even did a treatment were they inject you with a solution that contains small amounts of the stuff you are allergic to. I stopped that treatment after like 2 years. It never helped me and the injections got unbearable because there was no more space on my arms to be injected.
It was like twice a week, so it turned up to be to painful. But what cured me was bee pollen, it is super healthy, has a lot of vitamins and minerals and for some reason I didn't get any allergic reaction by consuming it orally.
I take it every day in the morning on an empty stomach as a replacement of synthetic multivitamin, to complement my diet.
You need to put a tea spoon of it on a little bit of water so it dissolves over night, otherwise it just get out strait out of your body.
It is naturally granulated and the stomach does not have time to properly dissolve by itself in digestion.
The thing is that now I don't have any allergic reaction in spring time for many, many years now even if I stop taking bee pollen which I have when I have lived in places were I can find it.
There is here also a type of tree that makes people very sick and now I am also protected from that. Remember allergies is a reaction were your body has an exaggerated reaction to a foreign substance, when you take small amounts of pollen for a long time your body get used to it. Now at the beginning you need to test yourself and take small amounts to see what type of reaction you get. Find the amount that does not make your body to have a bad reaction and then with time, slowly increments it to a full tea spoon per day.
When I was stationed(military service)in Japan, the ONE thing that bothered me a lot was how crowded it was. Besides that, I LOVE Japan. ☺
Victor Velazquez That's why I live in countryside!
ONE thing I hated was the constant alcohol bans.
Yuta, have you considered monthly allergy shots? Not sure if that's a thing in Japan or covered by insurance/healthcare.
I hate hentai :v
dejavu wibu Lier
About the nasal spray/decongestant, can we get anywhere? I also need it to survive on a daily basis lol so I was wondering if it's fairly easy to get it in Japan. Thx in advance!
You need a prescription to buy the one I use in Japan and I don't like that, so I buy it from other countries without prescription, mostly in Southeast Asia.
That Japanese Man Yuta Ah man that sucks so much! So what website or service do you use to submit your order if I may ask?
I love everything about Japan especially the girls.
Kimi97 fuckboys
Its funny...Japanese girls don't like you
1000 π shut up weeb.
Kimi97 Pervert* get outta Japan if your only there for the girls. Anyway Japanese girls don't like you.😂
Pink Gold Peach bruh can you read? there's a difference between "only girls" and "especially girls". Now get back to your homework.
I understand completely! Back in the US, I HAD to take medicine every single day and sometimes even switch because it would stop working. Since I've been in Japan for about 4 months, I've only needed to use eye drops a few times and take 2 doses of allergy pills. Beats the heck out of living in Michigan.
Cedar tree hates you too Yuta thats why it gives you Hayfever.
I hate the fact that Japan is so damn radioactive, i always have to worry about cancer. I hate that I have to speak japanese and the way everyone is overly polite but rude at the same time.
Kallus Garnet It's not Britain or usa where everyone will be speaking English!
Kallus Garnet And why is it radioactive?
Gabriela Centurion Neumann Fukushima disaster! And he's just spreading hate, misinformation nearly 70percet of things he said is lies
Haruka ino Who is?
Gabriela Centurion Neumann That kallus garnet!
I'm currently following an allergy desensitization for dust mites. Can't Japanese people do the same for cedar trees?
A rather superficial video about the sobject, there are many meaningfull thikng to hate japan but you did not adress any of them
INVAZOR33 that means Yuta really loves his country.
Probably, but don't kid yourself into thinking this isn't about the clicks. The title alludes to much more than just hayfever. Yuta's English is good enough or him to know that, and his build-up shows that he does.
Did you stop and even consider that Yuta may not find many things to hate about his own country. Sure, there are niggles and annoyances here and there but overall perhaps, JUST PERHAPS, he doesn't really hate any of these things as he can deal with them? Too much to ask to consider about, eh?
Then go to the other creators' videos he showed in his intro. He did say he's detailing what *HE*, strong emphasis on the word *HE*, dislikes about Japan. If he chose to focus on this subject with his point, then that is his decision to make NOT yours.
Sooo.... Im studying in Japan RN and I just ran out of my allergy meds (pollen allergies) where can i find them in the pharmacies?
Good video Yuta ! not like Nobita « Trash Click Bait »Vidéos !
Le Japon en Noir et Blanc quoi??
I liked his stuff but he's just way to edgy on some of his videos
I'm pretty sure they are friends. Not that it matters and definitely doesn't mean you shouldn't state your opinion regardless. I'm just saying saying. I'm also assuming you meant Nobita and that Nobuta was a typo.
I am sure mais I am tout à fait sure que c'est un coup de Nobuta
I like Nobita, why do you have to disparage others to give someone you like accolades?
Trees don't bother and it's only honeysuckle that bloom in the fall where I'm from that bother me. But the only major thing we worry about is tornadoes. The parts where we're from is known as Tornado Alley for a good reason.

Yutaさんの発音が好きです。オーストラリアかイギリスの影響ですか？
I feel you with the tree pollen. I pretty much have annual sinus infections as a result of the pine trees here in Tennessee. In the spring, there's a thick layer of bright yellow dust all over everything. And I do mean everything. It's miserable.
I like you T-shirt.. 🤩where did you get it?thanks!
Wow! That's really interesting! I had no idea that cedar pollen was such a widespread problem.
My list:
1) The train. A friend of mine once said it got so tight, she was lifted off the ground. And some are very intolerant when people speak and joke around (Not loud). No one gave a friendly reminder and one just started lashing out. Apparently, there is some unwritten rule to not allow speaking in train or something.
2) Some people are rude. I was at a restaurant and seeing that the waiter looked busy, I helped myself to getting the menu. Boy was he mad. Reprimanding me and and snatching plates off my table the moment I finished eating. But his colleague who is at the cashier much nicer.
3) Google maps is unusable.
4) Some who don't speak english don't even try to understand what I am trying to say and just point to an English sign saying something totally unrelated to my question.
Well, that's a good thing to know! And now I'm pretty sure my dreams to actually living in Japan has become rather difficult; may hayfever is the worst. Fevers, scratchy sore throat, red, itchy eyes and a runny nose. Oh boy!! Seriously happy that I know that now, thank you Yuta!
Hey Yuta, have you heard of "shidatoren"? It's something you can take that is supposed to help your body build up a resistance to your allergies.
I've been in Japan for more than ten years and I'm badly allergic to Japanese cedar. But I've been taking shidatoren for a year and a half now and the last two springs have been much more tolerable than the previous eight. Ask your doctor about it. If you start taking it now, you should see a difference next spring.
Are Kafunsho medicine sold in regular drug stores (Food Stores in Japan)? If so, what is the name of it?
I also have MAJOR spring allergies with pollen, but I've resolved my issues here in the U.S. by getting regular allergy shots. I went from barely being able to breathe during allergy season a few years ago to essentially zero symptoms today. You may want to see if that's an option for yourself, Yuta! :)
