This Japan series has been phenomenal thanks so much for sharing it with us. I love your shirt in the thumbnail, I was born in 1980 I need to get that shirt! Glad Kinsey was able to show you around Japan, glad she is doing well!
My wonderful girlfriend and I had the pleasure of spending 2 weeks in Japan in June. We loved the experience and 2 weeks was not enough time at all. We really enjoyed the suburban prefectures around the bigger cities but we also headed western region and did Hiroshima and Kumamoto which we throughly enjoyed. Our house heavily features Kumamon and his adventures with us now. Can’t wait to eagerly go back and explore everything north of Tokyo, maybe have more of a winter experience this time around.
I love this, your travel series are our favourite here! The fact this is a three part, so far, series just makes it that much more excellent. We live in a very small town in eastern Canada so seeing you take us all over the world throughout the US and to Japan and Hawaii (which is US) is just excellent and you have great sense of camera work too!
It was good to see Kenzie again. I know she used to frequent your videos. But moving to Japan has kinda put a stop to that. I wish all the best to Metal Jesus Gang. And 🤘 🤘 🤘!
My family is from japan its a amazing country . I go there pretty often and to me is the most beautiful place on the planet . Everytime i go i feel like im coming home again .
FINALLY another Japan upload. Edit: I love Japan ❤ The culture, THE FOOD!!! I can't wait to go back. Imma sucker for anything feudal Japan (1300-1550) because those were some of the most brutal and chaotic times in it's history. LONG LIVE THE SAMURAI
Glad y'all stayed in Nishishinjuku. It's a lovely neighborhood that's somewhat quiet, but also super close to the heart of Shinjuku activities. Also, yes: Chuo Park is a gem! It's especially beautiful during cherry blossom season!
こんにちは, MetalJesusRocks. ^^ It's always fun seeing Japan sense It was formerly where I used to live as a child back then. So it's always great to see my home.
I’m not even a big gamer these days but I never miss a Metal Jesus video - ESPECIALLY your travel vlogs. You have a talent for creating comfy videos. Very easy watch.
My partner and I just got back form Japan for two weeks. Your videos were very helpful while we stayed in Akihabara and got to visit Shinjuku/Golden Gai. The food, infrastructure and arcades were second only to the people and kindness we experienced. Fantastic content, as usual from a longtime viewer/loomer!
These videos have been very weird for me, I visited a lot of these same places in September so it's like watching someone else live my trip! Hope you had a good one MJR.
Yeah, I got very lucky with that train shot. It's actually quite a bit longer and super cool. Maybe I'll throw it up as a #Short or Instagram reel or something...
You do such a great job on these travel videos in every aspect, most definitely my favorite to look forward to on your channel. Somebody should hire you to do these all over the world you really make it fun and exciting.
Wow MJ, you brought me a lot of memories this time. ❤️ More than seven years have now passed since my trip to Tokyo, but it's as if I was there yesterday. :) I'm Italian, so I'm very satisfied with my food, but Japanese cuisine is definitely third on my list (Thai is second). This video is very exciting because you covered all the places I've been (except the Gundam factory, because that day I was sick and I gave the tickets to two Japanese guys). I can’t remember if you had already visited them in previous videos but I would like to recommend three must haves for your next trip: the Ghibli museum (wonderful), the Robot Restaurant (crazy) and the Kabuki theater (an experience, even if - of course - you can't understand anything). you are an amazing storyteller, thank you for your special reports. :)
Man, thank you for making this series. Ive always wanted to visit Japan but its unfortunately out of my budget. I especially love to see it through the lense of a gamer, really fantastic!
Amazing vid as always! Glad you mentioned that Tony wasn't always happy because he made it obvious in the video Lol but is Japan baby!!!! The footage you took was mind blowing. Thanks Metal Jesus for sharing!
So my wife and I went to Japan for our honeymoon earlier this year in July, and it has been so cool to watch these videos and recognize spots we went to as well as see things we'll need to try next time we go. A couple of things you may want to check out for your next Japan trip I didn't see in your videos: 1) There's a street in Tokyo that is filled with back-to-back guitar shops. It's right near Ochanomizu Station in Tokyo and it was so cool to go to one store, see all of the guitars/pedals, and then walk out only to go to the store right next door and look at their stuff. It's also really well organized so you'll have one floor with Japanese guitars, one floor with Gibson, one with Fender, etc. 2) Ramen is cool, but my favorite food ever is curry and Japanese curry is awesome. We went to this curry house chain called CoCo Ichibanya and it was amazing. Super good curry that's highly customizable and there's at least one in every prefecture/city. It's my Roman Empire at this point and it makes me so sad I can't go for curry at one here. The wife and I went to a convenience store probably every day we were there and knew which one to go to for the good hot food (7/11 curry buns were pretty next level). I'd be curious to know if you had a favorite convenience store while there.
Been watching Metal Jesus for so long it feels like family . You should be proud of all the work you have done bro. surviving youtubes creator "updates" is no easy task ...Also I bet putting up with the crazy haters can be mentally taxing . Thanks for brining us along once again , I love Japan and would love to go someday .
Loving seeing Kenz again❤ and of course the beautiful Japan through the eyes of MJR! ALSO, 6TH STRAIGHT VIDEO COMMENT OF ME BEGGING FOR MORE GAMER EATS!! BRING IT BACK MJR!!
Another great Japan video! Awesome videography btw! Especially love the end moving slow-mo at 21:38! It's awesome that you're bringing the MJR effect to SuperPotato too, lol! My wife's cousin lives in Japan and we've been talking about going at some point! It had better be soon though because I'm already old and hate flying!
Wow! A fellow Cattle Decapitation enjoyer! \m/ That bar looked amazing. And what I love about these types of videos is that they show a lot of interesting sights and places that one might want to try in the future! Also, looking forward to your pickups.
I stayed in Akihabara for 10 days. Yes, I was disappointed on day one but I went back to each store everyday and good good, the stock changed EVERY TIME! WAS GREAT!
Your videos are so wholesome, man. I always looking forward to it. I have always wanted to visit Japan someday, and your videos are informative and entertaining. 💙 also that looks sooo good 7:42
I was in Yokohama a few years ago and went to many of the same places. One good place to check that can be hit or miss is the thrift stores. I found a copy of pokemon stadium 1 and 2 for pennies. Also, the Japanese people just take such good care of their stuff, used things are always in really great condition.
This is my final night in Japan after a two week holiday. I've seen all of your wonderful Japan advice vids and I came ready. I feel like I missed the party. I've been to Akihabara, Kyoto and Osaka and none of them have PS Vita's. Whether it's Super Potato or Beep, Book Off or Trader or even hidden retro gaming stores. Everything has been wiped out.
Been following your content for years now I think from the start or at least the first year of this channels beginning and as a non American when I went to America I went to all the gaming stores you highlighted on a old video of yours by now completed my ps1 collection officially completed thanks.
Thank you for your videos! You have inspired me and my cousin to go next year for a couple of weeks. We are going to start booking stuff this Saturday. We plan to do Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo with some of the day trips mentioned. Hope fully we'll be able to do Super Nintendo World. I'll be trying to hunt down some Sega Saturn games while there. Again, thank you so very much for the inspiration.
While this is not a traveller's channel, I love Metal Jesus travel videos because, honestly, they're way cooler than most videos focused on travelling; besides, the videogame hunting is a plus!
Yooo metal Jesus, just wanted to say I’m a big fan of the channel, also I wanted to suggest that next time you head to Japan you check out a Japanese baseball game they are a million times different in terms of atmosphere (and also some more awesome game hunting lol)
One modern game that covers a lot of Tokyo in detail including some of its iconic places is Ghostwire: Tokyo (PC/ PS5/ XSeries), with added in-game collectibles inspired from local lore. It is a great experience if one is interested in exploring Tokyo from the comfort of couch with a controller :)
We went for a month, had to buy another suitcase.. 48KG of final fantasy stuff, consoles and games. The best stuff is at bookoffs in small places like Shiba! Me and my wife loved the tresure hunt. Good hunting
Imagine if you brought Reggie here, you guys might ship your pickups in a container.
MIGHT?!?!? There is no room for doubt here lol
Japan would be in trouble, that's the ultimate takeover, they'd surrender to their dominance and say: OK just take all the games and LEAVE us alone! 😂
That would be pretty awesome.
I suport reggie in japan next time.

Japan is such a fascinating country, i'd love to go there sometime.
Not only do they have a rich historic past but they're also a hub for gaming.
You should look into Japan and their crimes against humanity over the centuries. It’s remarkable how they’ve turned their country around.
@@00ABBITT00every country has that dark history that takes u back a bit when you compare

I wasn't focused on the negative i was only focused on the positive.

I couldn't have said it better.
@@Jack-nj9pi 100% true. I wasn’t knocking Japan, it’s my number one country to visit. I just find it interesting.
That view of Tokyo from up there must have been absolutely jaw dropping in person
It really was!
Very cool. I actually wasn't aware that Tokyo was the worlds largest city

Metal Jesus approaching 1 million subs! 😮🎉🎉 Well deserved. Been subbed for I think 10 years now, this channel just keeps getting better.
Amazing video as always, going to Japan is my dream ^^
Greetings from Belgium in Europe.
@ch-yq5yn Maybe and also adults because I am full grown big guy
Kenzie's husband looks like a happy bloke doesn't he? .......
So happy for you Jason ❤ I wish to go to Japan one day, but it’s hard as I don’t make so much money. But got to have faith!
Good news is once you get there, everything is basically half price of things in the US (food, transit, hotel, etc.)
My family is from japan its a amazing country . I go there pretty often and to me is the most beautiful place on the planet . Everytime i go i feel like im coming home again .
I want to go to that heavy metal bar in Japan! Looks awesome!
The footage from the top building seeing how big the city, amazing.
I have like 30 minutes of footage just from Shibuya Sky! It was pretty crazy. Maybe I'll throw it all up on Patreon on something...
FINALLY another Japan upload.
Edit: I love Japan ❤ The culture, THE FOOD!!! I can't wait to go back. Imma sucker for anything feudal Japan (1300-1550) because those were some of the most brutal and chaotic times in it's history. LONG LIVE THE SAMURAI
Love the way you film and present the places you go. Such chill and fun videos.
Thanks so much!!
All of these Japan trip videos are great but that 4th one is gonna be EPIC! Can't wait to see all the pickups!
Thanks so much for your Japan trip videos! Brings back a lot of memories! Japan is awesome!
Glad to see you here too mr bacon
Thanks for a few new ideas for my next trip. Been once and loved# it so much. There is a sense of peace in this country I have not felt elsewhere.
That view of Tokyo! It's so vast, no wonder Godzilla can keep coming back and not run out of buildings to knock down.
I know, right? 😂
Wow, so Jealous man would love to go to Japan someday the motherland of video games!
Reggie would love this next japan trip u should really make that happen it would be something he would never forget
Thanks again MJR for these. Absolutely love your travel videos.

9:50 this shot is incredible
Im living vicariously through you guys. Such a good video series. Cant wait to see where you and the crew go hunting next.

I was just in Japan last week. Akihabara is picked through. No grails, no Japan exclusive consoles. It's all gone.
One modern game that covers a lot of Tokyo in detail including some of its iconic places is Ghostwire: Tokyo (PC/ PS5/ XSeries), with added in-game collectibles inspired from local lore. It is a great experience if one is interested in exploring Tokyo from the comfort of couch with a controller :)
Thanks for sharing your trip. Look forward to the next video.
Thanks for watching!
You know we've become spoiled when seeing a life-sized Gundam mech is "underwhelming."
We went for a month, had to buy another suitcase.. 48KG of final fantasy stuff, consoles and games. The best stuff is at bookoffs in small places like Shiba! Me and my wife loved the tresure hunt. Good hunting
I miss Japan even more 😭 But great videos, It looked like an amazing trip.
No vinyl hunting? I was also blown away by the record stores in Tokyo.
After moving away from NZ, I slowly developed a fear of heights. That escalator on the side of that building looked scary af.
I have a fear of heights too... but you are about 3 feet away from the edge and the glass is really high, so it's completely safe.
@@MetalJesusRocksUnless an earthquake happens... and trust me they do. I have been in 2 big ones in Japan !
looks like you guys had a great time, look forward to the next vid. Japan looks great
I like how they have little turtles in Tokoyo. Reminds me of New Yrok with its little rats.
I remember when the blonde one moved to Japan. I have be patiently waiting for these videos.
Thanks Metal
Japan is incredible, and you're awesome mate! Love your videos, hope you hit the million subs soon - you deserve it!
