Ryotaro has got to be the most laid back serial killer on the face of the earth.
I was so delighted at this comment I sent him a screenshot of it.
Abroad in Japan Haha, brilliant.
You need to kill more then one person to become a serial killer! Just saying ;)
Dave Ahh, but then why do you think there are so little Japan vlogs channels? He's fooled you all.
So little Japan vlog channels ? Good sir i think you are mistaken, there are in fact, allot of Japan vlog channels, allot of crap ones aswel if i may share my opinion. If Ryotaro has a hidden agenda and wants to rid us of Japan vlog channels he might want to pick up the pace.....preferably leaving this channel as last.
"I hate snow. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere"

It's treason then.
Is Darth Plaugeis Aware Of His Own Defect?
Can't agree more. Thought spring finally hit my city in Norway, but no. More annoying angel-cum all over again. Brits are lucky!
“how do you feel about foxes? Are you a fan?”
“*uncertain* yeah”
Raging fox enthusiast. Brilliant.
Ryotaros white jacket looked damn cool, but it really did seem like a safety hazard
As he climbed into the snow cat I was thinking “what kind of idiot wears white and black rather than bright colours”, then I realised.
Ryotaro's true intentions: Kill Chris and take over Abroad in Japan for the glory of Tohoku!
Make Abroad In Japan Great Again
Inland in Japan is gonna be a thing :D
then this channel wouldn't be "Abroad in Japan" anymore, since he's Japanese, it will be "At my home Japan"
He did wear a white jacket to a blizzard. Maybe he wanted to escape easily.
Miyuiki Story IT'S BEEN A MONTH 😂😂😂
But hey Ryotaro is such a daddy i cannot complain he takes over this channel
I should have foreseen the inevitable. Folks are pointing out there are places far colder than Japan with lots of snow, which is all well and good, but remember, very cold doesn't equal lots of snow. Cold + moisture = snow. Japan gets hit by freezing Siberian winds that come across the Sea of Japan carrying silly amounts of moisture.
- GOOGLE it for more explanations and cracking good snow photos.
ggrks 😂
You don't know real cold until you've met my ex girlfriend.
Abroad in Japan #rekt
DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Abroad in Japan Holy shit that was good
5:48 "it takes bloody... 40-50 minutes" English slang is rubbing off on Ryotaro
If I'm not mistaken he lived in the UK for like four years, so he already had the slang down before he met Chris XD
British accent smuggler

Abroad in Japan highly marketable skill these days
Those foxes were super cute! I need to go there when I have my vacation trip to Japan
The foxes sounded a bit like cats. lol
Hi Chris, I lived in a Northern Ontario city called Timmins, Ontario Canada for 20 years. In Timmins I've seen temperatures as cold as -60 degrees Celsius. Timmins also would get a shit load of snow during the winter which would go from late October to early May sometimes. I feel the same way about snow and cold temperatures as you Chris. Winter fucking sucks balls!!!!
Abroad in Japan I love foxes! I need to go to Zao!
Nooooo the foxes are so fluffy!
I can't handle it 😭
Rachel and Jun they had their nice thick winter coats so they were extra fluffy. I always feel a little sad for animals, the get such nice fur coats, but never experience the joys of discovering something you left in your pockets all summer. I found a $50 bill in my winter coat once. That was awesome.
R&J totally agree. Got this instand pressure to hugg those fluffy .... maybee there is a conection between Ginger's and the messanger of Inari-Sama #onlytheFOXGODknows ^^
Right? They're so cute!
Oh snow
...you didn't
I came for tips on learning Japanese, I stayed for the utterly charming self-deprivation. Keep 'em coming Chris, looking forward to the documentary. Cheers.
You: What does the fox say?
Chris: Weird noises?
Foxes in japan: *weird cuteish yelping noises*
Grown European fox: hold my rodent... *loud screaming as if from a woman being assaulted in the forest*
And always at night time. It's extremely creepy first time you hear it, especially if you don't know beforehand what a fox sounds like...
Never fear, European foxes also make the weird yelping sounds (called gekkering). I was only familiar with the "woman screaming in the night" fox call, so when I heard a mess of what I believed to be magpies in desperate straits in my yard one night, I was very confused and had to sleuth around online to figure out what the noise was. If I recall correctly, foxes gekker to resolve disputes without physical fighting.
I live by a woods in the UK and when they mate they sound like screaming children at 1AM
ok, I'll just stick to the Ylvis version
YET AGAIN, Ryotaro set me up. First there was that dodgy free climbing up a cliff, and now there's getting lost in a ridiculous blizzard and catching frostbite. If something should happen to me, let it be known that Mr Sausages is probably to blame.
I would blame the snow myself.
Hey, good day Chris. I fully support your choice to be a full-time youtuber. And i'm looking forward to lots interesting videos from you. The animals are amazing, like always. Greetings from the Netherlands
Ryotaro really is trying to kill you. o____o
Well, they say that third time's the charm....Might wanna be careful the next time you two go anywhere. And don't let him book anything!
don't blame snow, blame the Lanisters, except the imp, the imp is a cool SoaB
Ryotaro previously: British accent smuggler
Ryotaro currently: Raging Fox Enthusiast
Ryotaro soon: Abroad In Japan Successor. Chris Died In A Tragic Yet "Unexplained" Extreme Sports Accident. Channel Soon To Be Named Ryotaro In Japan
petrichords it's not got the same word rhyming in it tho, a-broad in Japan is just beautiful
Probably killed in a CGI plane crash.
I'm sorry but I won't like your comment, I mean it's at 666 likes and it shall stay that way
@@sifeddineakaaboune1059 say sike right now
Actually Ryotaro already has his own youtube channel called 'Ryotaro in Japan'
This video was actually quite an eye-opener for me. Even though I already knew that it can get quite snowy in Japan during the winter, I never would've thought that a country whose name means "sun's origin" could be one of the snowiest countries in the world.
"Stop this madness in the name of your king." All hail Chris, of the House of Broad, first of his name.
lol Ryotaro promoted to Raging fox enthusiast from British accent smuggler :3
The guy's really going places
Next time it oughta be a serial killer on the lose 😂
Makes you wonder why he was staring so seriously at the foxes lol
If sweden was to shutdown everytime we had snowfall we might as well permanently close the country
dont mind if you do, frankly
That's because it always snows in Sweden. I remember reading somewhere that countries have to prepare for bad weather, and since in England you never know if "bad weather" is going to be snow, or a flood, or a drought in the summer, the politicians don't know what to spend the money on and that's why we have absolutely no defences against anything.

This man has influenced my decision to relocate to Japan. I am going to college, I plan to Major in ESL and Minor in Japanese. I'm eager for the next video
It's been four years, how have your plans gone?
@pumpkingrumbum You spend some time in Japan? How was it?
@@kinkane5566 hi
@@gorbFN hi
Chris you're a wonderful person, and I love your content! I'm super glad I found it. I watch it whenever I have time to spare.
I've learned a lot about Japan, and I want to visit and learn the language more than ever before. Thank you for this channel!
Foxes are cats trapped in a dog's body
OMG i thought exactly that
More like dogs in a cats body they actually wanna be around people and there very agile
= perfect dog
@@neonickhaos4811 nope, foxes are loners, meaning they live alone, just like cats
They are like a dog a cat and a raccoon made a baby
"Probably the most strangest noise from and animal"......HAVE YOU HEARD A KOALA SCREAM.
Or tortoises noise when having a shag.
thank you both for the experience
@@curiousfigment LOL
I heard one from Matthew M from Sing. XD
Or two female lynx fighting..
My family and I have recently discovered your channel and we love it. You are living a dream of ours, and we think your videos are very entertaining. Keep up the great work.
Chris your videos are the best. I hope you continue with UA-cam for more years to come
That moment you read the "about page" and find out Chris' last name is "Broad" making his channel name actually interesting!
mazzar A Broad in japan ;)
Holy shit.
Mind blown
@@Pur8tyALT Want a further mindblow? He was on Robot Wars as part of the Killertron team.
If any of his family comes to Japan it'll be 2 broads in Japan.
In Australia, Snow is a myth.
PASTAAAAAAAA!!!(o^^o) snow do not exist here
Only in the mountains lmao
Australia is a myth
Well, you’re friend Austria has quite a lot
Kaita Kawada in da lat, vietnam there is snow
I'm Australian and I see snow every week, many olympic skiers are also Australian. Don't speak for all of us because you live somewhere shit.
Thank you Chris for keeping me enthusiastic about going to Japan! Now am living here trying to finish my graduate studies and build a career. Am always watching your cool videos keep it up mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Chris: its minus -12 outside
Me: laughs in -41 in canada lol
Celcius???
@@ActuallyFir Yes, it gets down to - 25 where i live lol
You must be from Saskatchewan or something 😂
@@ActuallyFir Celsius and Fahrenheit meet at -40 so either measurement is about the same for that temperature.
He means Celsius btw. That's what they use in Canada
@@Ricky911_ Oh, the plight of the prairies. As a fellow of Alberta, though it may chill me to my bones, I'd never have it any way else!
The age old question of "what does the fox say?" has finally been answered.
TheDuracellBunnie indeed it has hahah, and honestly thats not the sound I was expecting, for some reason i thought it was gonna be more like an "mountain lion"ish or another larger cat like that, but wasnt expecting baby cat sounds lol
I see foxes quite often here in Finland, but they never make any noise. They look different compared to those japanese foxes aswell.
Aadolffi Hitlerinen It's Vulpes vulpes vulpes, the "Scandinavian" red fox which, as you might guess, ranges over far more than just your neighbors to the west, vs. Vulpes vulpes japonica, the Japanese red fox, which you also see here in their winter coats.
Where I live we have no red foxes at all but gray foxes, Urocyon cinereoargenteus.
probably the first time I ever heard how does a fox sound like
You mean you didn't see that one youtube video? ;)
What's does the fox say?
mrgame4 Aww man I wanted to write that lol
The foxes are so beautiful 💜💜💜
me too, ma furst time seeing blackblueberry with white fox.😮
the amazing thing is that, geographically, Japan is further south than many of the major us cities like New York and D.C. Yet still manages to receive more snow than many places even in far northern sections of our country
Yeah it’s an island country, so even knowing little about Japan especially it’s climate I can tell you the wind likely blows over the Sea of Japan picks up a ton of moisture then hits the mountains which sends the air up forces all the precipitation out which DUMPS snow. I’m not positive it blows from the west in Japan but it does that mostly everywhere across the planet. So the difference is that NY or DC, they just have dry ass land to the west of them and it’s already given up most of its moisture.
Your sad skiing is the funniest thing I've watched in a long time. Thanks!
"Raging Fox Enthusiast" -Ryotaro
"... and so our elegant trip up the mountain, quickly turned into a nightmarish experience. that reminded me above all, why I hate Ryotaro." 😂😂😂
Chris - one of the best uses of the knockout sound effect I've ever encountered. Thanks!
Seeing as how the British are always complaining about the rain, this went about as well as one would expect.
It actually doesn't rain in the UK. Toyama alone gets about 4 times the amount of precipitation London gets and I'm from London. Barely anywhere in the UK gets to 1000 mm of precipitation a year whereas barely anywhere in Japan gets below that. What we really complain about in the UK is the lack of sunlight.
3cm of snow
UK: no one can drive or work anymore. chaos and accidents everywhere!
Rest of the world (including Japan and Germany): good thing I've put on my winter wheels in time.
Germany and snow? Good joke
@@TaigaAisaka Snow? I only see acceptable challenges to go to work.
UK? Nah, just England and Wales
Scotland's had snow mastered for generations
The south of the US in just a snowfall with no snow on ground: nah yall cant go anywhere.
3feet of Snow in Canada is a typical spring season!
No matter how bad of a week I'm having your videos never fail to cheer me up. I owe you one Chris, after years of saying "some day I will visit Japan" and then putting it off, I've actually booked my flights and accommodation to finally explore a bit of Japan. Your videos gave me the final push to actually get it booked after a long period of being a blithering idiot, cheers!
2:28 There are snowmonsters in Finland too. Good vid btw, keep it up!
Your videos are great, I just wish the were a few more, I have already rewatched most of them several times.
What is it you seek in Fox Village?
drcadillac i seek a fox
I seek the Khajit.
What the Fox says
Lavodnas according to Naruto: Ko kon
drcadillac A Nile Song?
That blizzard was almost as cold as Ryotaro
Chris! Because of you I heard of the JET programme and I just heard that I have been selected as an ALT for Myoko City! :D Now I need more of your videos to keep me hyped for Japan please!
This is funny to watch as a Canadian. I feel very adapted to this type of life. We go out in snow storms for fun and build a shelter to have campfires. On January 1st 2019 I had spent the night sleeping in a Tipi up in the mountains and hiking around in the snow. LOVED IT! So maybe visit us only in the summer months in Canada. Love the videos!! Long time viewer. Keep up the amazing work.
Stressful as fuck. Glad you're alive.
Well, now I know what the fox says.
bruh
all those years of having to listen to that horrible song has amounted to this, and I'm not mad at all
Chris: I decided I hate snow. I never want to be near it again in any way shape or form, except maybe water and ice cubes.
Ryotaro: Attempts to kill Chris with steam
By sauna them? XD Them you really get steamed! Then he's gonna hate hot water and steam as well after that! (Especially gonna have a love-hate relationship with it if he's forced to roll in snow before coming back into the sauna).
I love your videos dude. I'm heading over to Japan to teach soon and I find them as helpful as I do entertaining. Thanks for making them. I like the bumblebee aesthetic you have going on here lol
Thank you for the homework break!! its 3am and time to get back to studying Japanese :D
One of my favorite channels on UA-cam. The chance of me going to Japan is quite small, so this is the best I can get and it's amazing :) Thank you
man this guy is just that cool that even the ads i get from this channel are one of the most funniest hahaha love chris
"Probably the strangest noise I've ever heard from an animal"
Someone's never heard a mountain lion scream bloody murder
I am a high school boy in Tokyo 🇯🇵!!
Skiing in Japan is great.
Why don't you come to my country and try skiing???
I would LOVE to but I'm broke. OTL
hello planet. I'm a guy who live in Tokyo, too.
I'm not good at skiing. so I've never been skiing before.
I'd love to, but I've never done it before, because it was always a bit too expensive. So I'd be a bit scared skiing in an unfamiliar place. :/ But I'd love to visit Japan! (I actually plan on living in Japan for some years.)
Best wishes from Bulgaria. ^^
You wont get good at skiing unless you ski
03:11 - "What is it you seek in Fox Village?"
to run from cgi plane crashes
You are one of my favorite UA-cam's I enjoy watching you're videos I really want to travel to Japan now 😊
I’m headed to Kanagawa next month on the JET program and have been binge watching your channel. (Obviously) really enjoy it! The video on the tsunami aftermath was very professionally done and felt should have been picked up by international news networks (or possibly was?). Anyway, keep up the good work!
im laughing at 4:12 with that sound effects XD i thought something literally beat the fox i got scared lol
The sarcasm on this channel is refreshing.
Love it.
By the way its really the best snow you can find on this planet.
That s from a guy from Switzerland!
OMG. Without you guys, I don't know how I would get through the pandemic. Thanks for being such a life force.
8:54 LOL!! Chris is having a fun time :'D
You missed a trick there Japan, paint the mountain bus yellow and brown, throw some eyes on it and you have Cat Bus from My Neighbour Totoro, I'd pay to go on it.
PikabobElectricpants That's what I was thinking when he said Snow Cat. Maybe Cat Bus' albino cousin. Haha
Damn, that's really good idea
you know nothing jon snow
Dave Winston And that’s actually true. This snow isn’t that bad
addicted to your vids. need more vids!!!
This is one of my favorite videos on this channel. Seeing Chris so distressed never gets old.
Snow is literally one of my favorite things. Yet ANOTHER reason I really badly want to visit Japan one day!!!
Have you been yet
I see you live somewhere without snow lol
"And it was here where I lived...on the screwed side" XD
I love your sarcasm. It makes me chuckle a little bit inside :)
For the past few days I've watched about 95% of your videos. I stumbled upon this channel after my wife and I made plans to visit Japan in the next few weeks. I've never been there, and your videos and sense of humor make Japan seem like a place I'd seriously enjoy living in. looking forward to your next video and visiting Japan. p.s. you totally have the same style and humour of my core friend group, I believe you'd definitely be a friend of ours if you lived here in California. p.p.s. Do people say "p.s." in comments? p.p.p.s. just checking that you're still reading this. have a nice day.
Not in a car park this time :)
Im a simple female, I see a fox in the thumbnail I click that like button.
Namine Aru with big tits?
So you click the like button on a lot of his vids, then. :)
Because Chris is a handsome man.

You must be new here, i'm but a humble proprietor of 2006 era memes.
I've skied in those conditions on-piste once and it is horrible. Hard work is an understatement. Nice work getting down doing that off-piste!
lol puppy started raging around the room and looking for the foxes when she heard them :D:D haha! Love your videos, been binge-watching them for 2 days now :D
2 videos in 1 week?! What is this Wizardry?
Chris casts the spell MADALTO
a big load after long constipation
Fun Fact: Shiroishi-Zao is the Shinkansen station closest to fox village, and the tourism stationmaster is a fox named Goro.
This has jumped up to be my favourite video of yours because it is one thing I can't experience being from Canada; not understanding winter.
I recently subbed and I have watched a bunch of ur vids. they are awesome!!! u are so cool!
I love skiing I hope I get to ski Japan one day
You should go to Canada we get -25°C for a good month or two during the winter -15 is nothing its not uncommon to get -38
in centre-du-quebec here it snowed until april and it even snowed in alberta this summer i think it was around 6 august not sure tho lol its crazy here
Coldest temperature I worked in (outdoors) was minus 63C in Northern Alberta.

Oh otintin year?

*Stop this madness , This is amazing* best line i've heard so far
you know iv'e always wondered how you met Ryotaro since you guys are such good friends and where does he find the time to travel so much with you, does he have a wife/kids and or a full time job, just curious.
I think Ryotaro is a boss of a company where they send students to britain for studying or something.
@@michelenintricepsi6529 interesting, I always wondered too. 🙏
@@michelenintricepsi6529 A foundation I assume?
you need to make a ryotaro playlist. love that guy! new to your channel and ive unhealthily binged wayyyy too many videos 😂
The sound effects are too funny, love it!!
That blizzard was snow joke.
That damn Ryotaro and his stolen british accent
Sorry that was my younger brother
I think this is one of my favourite channels
My fiance is studying abroad in Japan right now, you are one of his idols. It would be so cool if you two met! You have inspired him to start a vlog channel one day about his travels in Japan. your TED talk is fantastic.
4:08 unexpected silly but superfunny moment. My favourite silly joke of Chris.
Jesus christ. At first i was very sceptical, like "Psssh, Japan has more snow than here in Finland yeah right" but holy shit thats actually alot. It may not be as cold as here in Finland but there sure is more snow in there.
Lefa I had to look it up, but I live in #9 on the list (Rochester, New York) and the two cities I'm between are also on the list (#5 Syracuse and #10 Buffalo). I believe we're the only US cities on the list and it's ONLY because we get massive amounts of lake effect snow from Lake Erie (for Buffalo) and Lake Ontario (for Rochester and Syracuse). It sucks lol.
UnwantedImagery US 9th on the list? Wow I didnt expect that.
Yeah, I knew Syracuse got a lot of snow (like...a LOT of snow...usually the snowiest place in the US) however, I didn't quite comprehend how snowy Western New York was due to the Lake Effect snowfalls we get. We are only on the list because of it.
And just to restate, Syracuse New York was #5 on the list behind four Japanese cities and Rochester/Buffalo New York are #9 and #10. My mind was blown today. I knew we got a lot of snow, but I didn't quite realize how much lol
UnwantedImagery Thats interesting! Would you mind linking the list so I can see it?
Can't wait for the new video 😊
you are very entertaining. I really like the way you speak in your videos.
I knew we got a lot of snow here in Aomori. Didn't know it was the most in the world?!! Thought it would be someplace in Alaska or something with snow 24/7.
I think the proximity to the sea just means a lot of snowfall (or rainfall) and the mountains make it all rain in one place. Also, Alaska's coldness might mean less moisture in the air and therefore less precipitation and less snow. (But this is just my speculation, not certain knowledge.)
5:22 Ryotaro making no effort to hide his true intentions.
I love how you describe your winter weather - "so you guys in the north are basically screwed all winter" pretty much sums it up nicely.
After watching you flopping around in the snow, I now realize what would I would be looking at if I were insane enough to try it.
hello Chris.
i just stumbled upon your Channel a few weeks ago and now im busy watching all your Videos because they are so funny and interesting.
your Channel is one reason why i decided to start learning japanese again (i dropped it cause i didnt really know where to start. i still dont Know, i can read hiragana but...should i start with grammar...or vocabulary or learning how to build sentences?...a Tipp would be useful xD)
ehmm...yeah.
i Just wanted to say thank you very much for your videos and the hard work behind it. im looking forward to watch all your upcoming Videos.
Stay safe and healthy!
greetings from Germany!
"What is it you seek in fox village?"
been there chris in the snow with only 1-2 meters visibility off pist, its a blast.
Those snow banks look pretty familiar living here in the Canadian maritimes, lol. Nothing closes here for snow unless its super severe, similarly as well.
