This was fun!! I should do one of my local area :D
OMG thank you Sharla for taking the time to watch and comment! I'd love to see walking videos in your area! I do suggest using a stabilizer for steady footage with whatever camera you use (cellphone, GoPro, etc).
The north, I'm sure, has so many cool hidden gems in all of those towns and villages! I'm so happy to see you back up in Morioka!!!!
If you'd ever like to collab on an exploration video in random areas of Japan, please let me know. ^^
Cory May I’d love to film something together! :D
DM me any time if you're in the Tokyo area.
Oh, and if you really do want to do some walking videos, I suggest the DJI Osmo Pocket. It's relatively cheap, shoots 4K at 60fps, and is perfect for these kinds of videos. I'm looking at getting one myself because my setup is from like 2014. hahaha So out-dated!
Cory May I’ve been considering getting one of those for a while now, I can imagine it would come in handy for vlogging outside and in shops when I don’t want to bring in a huge camera!
Sharla please do a walk with me tour with our mate Cory!
Nice chill video. The streets are so clean and the houses look so well kept. Love the community garden..Nice fresh veggies! Yum.
Thanks for watching, Cheron! There are so many gardens and farms around my area, that the supermarkets have a farmer's section and you can buy clean, organic, and fresh produce delivered to the store earlier that day. The price is also cheaper than regular produce, usually. ^^
The designers of public paths are very bike conscious---that middle section down the stairs for walking bikes is so smart 12:13... And love the link to google maps.
Yes, almost all overpass/underpass areas that I've been to have bicycle access somehow. Some have just a rail gutter on the side for your tires to roll on, which is very common in Korea. Others have full lanes like in this video that you saw.
I'm glad people look at the Google Map link. I have to manually make those and sometimes it takes some time because I have to remember where I walked. hehehe
Vie De France?? Wow, that's a surprise. Didn't know they were in Japan! One of my favorite bakeries. I drive an hour south of Los Angeles to get lunch at Vie De France in Orange County. Great french bread and pastries! Just searched to discover that they are all over Japan.
Amazing how few people are out and about in this area where you are walking. I love how clean and quiet it is. Feels like you are doing walking mediations!
I like the busier areas as well with all the shops and restaurants, but wow, can't believe you stumbled upon that beautiful Shrine! In the middle of nowhere. Thanks Cory! Great job!
I knew Vie De France was a chain, but I didn't know they were outside of Japan! Super cool. ^^
I haven't bought any bread or anything from them yet, but now I want to give it a try.
The shrine at the end was a huge surprise, I had no idea it was there!
Thanks so much for watching the video! ^^
Its all paradise Cory💓🌈😍 thank you for sharing all of the beautiful views and the I'm in AWE of the temple and the community gardens.🎍🌳🏡⛩💖
I'm really glad you enjoyed this tour Liz! Thanks for watching!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for another great walking tour, Cory. That's one more thing I like about the Japanese culture. The temples are quiet places of reverence and reflection, not a gathering area for people to gossip or criticize each other's fashion choices. Cheers!
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Temples and shrines are probably my all time favorite places to just retreat from the world and reflect. ^^
I wish I could visit Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto again. We got there just before sunset so we really didn't have much time to look around or hike up to the top. It's a majestic and serene place-that is, aside from the flock of tourists. As short as it was, I will never forget that experience. Cheers!
We LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE your walking tours. Thank you so much. Love the relaxed atmosphere, your calm energy, the DOGS! and the trains. :))
I love love love your comment! hehehe Thank you for spending the time to watch my videos! I know time is precious and these 1 hour walking videos are lengthy for sure. I appreciate the support! CHEERS!!!!
23:41 cute car passing! How boxy it is! 😍
Very peaceful scenery. It looks like the audience walking with you Cory. Like this kind of video very much.
Yes, I want to take everyone with me on these walks! ^^
Thanks for watching!
Such a vibrant shrine. The co-op looks cool. Probably pesticide free produce.
I know, right? I wasn't expecting to see that bright red shrine at the end. So nice!!
I'm sure it's all organic and pesticide free. It looked like it. Normally you can tell when stuff has been sprayed a dozen times, right?
What's really cool at the supermarket is they have a section from local farmers, and it even has the farmer's portrait and info on the wall. The produce is much cheaper and super fresh! I love buying stuff from that section.
Nice community garden. Looks very well taken care of. Thank God for "old ladies" as you say they are hard workers. Remember if you get to be a "old man " work hard. Just kidding you Cory. Love your videos never miss them . You passed some beautiful Hydrangea bushes early in the video.
hehehe I'm sure in my old age I'll be farming a lot as well. I'd love to build a Japanese-style garden with koi pond and all. Ah yes, those hydrangeas... my parents have a bunch in their garden. So lovely. Thanks for watching, Sandra!
Thanks for sharing, cool that was a great walking video. Have a good one ☮️🤘☮️
Thanks, Jaxon! I appreciate the comment! Cheers!
Jeez even the train was super quiet, I love it
I love walking through places that i usually would ride through. Things seem so different if you take the time to actually look
Yes, I love riding my bike too. But walking really puts you in the moment and you see all the little details. Thanks for watching, Taylor!
It's surprisingly fun to watch through the eyes of someone else what is otherwise usual, dull neighborhood to me.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I think a lot of us take these kinds of places for granted. The whole reason I make these walking videos is so people from around the world can see what it's really like to walk in a place. The sights, the sounds... many people can't travel, so even to me if something seems boring, I know someone on the other side of the world thinks it's amazing. 😁
Hi Cory. I discovered your awesome channel about a month or two ago and I'm so happy I did. I was always fascinated by Japan and it's people and culture and you've helped me to appreciate it so much more. Your humble spirit and soothing voice makes me look so forward to your videos. I love how peaceful Japan is. Although I'm a vegan, I still watch your videos when you're eating non vegan foods cause you're just a delight to watch. I love seeing and hearing your excitement when finding new things in Japan and especially when you spot a doggie. I would love to see you make a video on vegan foods options there in Japan one day. You keep up the great work and keep your channel going, it's a blessing.
Many blessings to you Cory!
Thank you so much for the kind words and the support! It really means a lot to me.
I'll definitely try to make some vegan-related food videos. There are quite a few options out here.
Stay tuned for more videos about Japan! ^^
I am kinda glad you pointed out that garden/farm thing. I live about a ten minute train ride from that station and I wanna check that out. Thanks for the tip!!
You should explore around these areas some time. Lots of hidden gems, such as the Shinto shrine at the end of the video! Thanks for watching, Matt! If you ever see me walking around filming, please say hi!
The black car is a 1967 Nissan Gloria/Prince A30s station wagon. An EXTREMELY rare vehicle.
Looks good to me , can't wait to visit
Yeah dude! Do you know @Frameoftravel on IG? I met him a few weeks ago and he said he knew you when I mentioned I lived in Seoul. Small world huh?
@@CoryMay81 yup - small world indeed, maybe can all meetup someday
Love walking through the neighborhoods with your walks
Thanks Jeff! Glad you can join me on my walks through these videos. ^^ Cheers!
@@CoryMay81 Thank you, hopefully my plans will work out and I'll be there in 2021
Thanks for taking us along on another leisurely neighborhood stroll! I particularly enjoyed seeing the dogs and community garden with its adjacent bicycle lot. I can just imagine the gardeners bicycling home with a their front basket full of freshly picked veggies and fruits!
Yellow Flowers makes the days go by :) Nice walking vlog, Cory.
I always like your walking video... simple and chill, i feel like I really walking and enjoy the view
Best time of the day for a walk Cory , yes Spudgy was a lovely dog and so loved i really felt for Simon and Martina when they did the video to say he had passed away he is missed. Lovely video Cory thank you ! ;-)
Glad you enjoyed the video, Celestine! Spudgy is truly a celebrity dog. Everyone seems to know and love him!
Thanks for showing us how it’s look like at the countryside
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Love these kind of videos!! More please
More are coming, stay tuned! Thanks for watching!
I am so glad you're nosy I'd be doing the same exact thing peeking wherever I could peek
Looks like it would be such a great place for street photography. Gorgeous light at that time of day as well.
Love your tours japan so clean
Cory you are the only person I would watch an hour video of someone walking
LOL I appreciate that so much! Twitch streams are back (although no set schedule yet), and walking streams have to wait for now until I get an unlimited data plan setup for my phone. It might take a bit. Take it easy bro!
Another top video Cory,keep 'em coming.
Fun! I like the bushes at 23:16. Why do some cars have their wipers standing up? So many bikes - where are the bike repair shops? Cool temple at the end.
I have no idea why the wipers are up. hehehe There are plenty of repair shops around, but I didn't walk by any in this video. hehe
Thanks for watching Amanda!
Your video show how vast an area Tokyo is. This area you walk around is one of the expanse you zoom past on the Narita express.👍
Yes, it's sort of near the line that the Narita Express / Skyliner train uses. This area is north of it by several kilometers.
The Tokyo Metropolitan area is HUGE and very expansive. It encompasses several smaller cities, including Matsudo city, where I live. Thanks for watching, Brend!
you know what i've noticed while watching your japan walking tours , i see alot of people holding hands.. how cute!! you rarely see people here in FL holding hands. I'm interested in seeing what a Japanese bookstore looks like, seeing that books store in your walking tour reminded me of persona 5. All those rules...were there any officers there to impliment them? Great walking tour! will you ever do like a bar review?
Oh? Were people holding hands? I didn't notice. hehe
I'll try to film inside a bookstore in the future. Hopefully I can get away with filming in one. hehehe
There is a giant "koban" (police box) right by that area where I read the sign. I think if someone was "touting" or anything else, people would maybe report it to the koban and some officers would come out to stop them.
A bar review? I don't really like to "review" things, but I like to experience places. So yeah, maybe I'll do a bar video in the future. There are many tiny bars in Tokyo and they're fun atmospheres to be in. My only gripe is almost all of them allow indoor smoking, but that will be changing soon with a new law about to take effect before the Tokyo 2020 Olympics begin.
What a nice walk!
Glad you enjoyed the walking video! ^^
Glad you had a relaxing moments, too stressful in the city, everytime I see countryside I feel relax and calm.
I love the countryside too. But this isn't the countryside. hehehe It's still suburban.
Aww, the dog may have damage but it looks very happy. I wonder what it is about back alleys and pathways through the city that is so fascinating? I still remember your video about Train Street. We had never seen anything like it before. You bring so much to us. Your ongoing narration is the best. Personally I have learned so much from you.
I am late to this video. I was saving it for when I needed a pick-me-up and it is doing just that.
Thanks Cory and Happy Summer Days to you.
I am chill now after eating Cake and jumping off the walls
hahaha Glad my video could calm you down?? LOL
Awesome! Keep it up 🙂🙂👍👍😎
Thanks! Will do! ^^
This is so weird because that’s exactly where I live lmao. I’m literally sitting at the station looking at the Lawson 100 you walked past
Hope you're doing well Cory. Great walking tour video as always.
Thanks, David! Hope you're doing well too. I'm definitely doing better than I was in Vietnam, and things are on the up-and-up for me. ^^
Your vids are so calming and interesting thanks 👍 🦋 🌻 ☮ keep up the great work
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them. Cheers!!!
I love these green lush suburbs in Japan. Nice aesthetic.
I know, right? I love them too! Thanks for watching!!! ^^
hi cory the side streets can be interesting never know what you come across,,really like theses walk around vids,,gota love the rail network in japan,,,theres a Railway Museum at Ōmiya Station i want to check it out ..impressive community garden
Oh thanks for that suggestion, I'll have to check out Omiya station and that museum! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Again, thank you Cory for sharing the little bits and pieces of your life in Japan. The area you walked thru was quiet and serene despite the constant noise of the passing trains and train crossing guards. The temple was a beautiful ending to your walk. Can you explain why some people wear a mask? I always thought it was because of the "bird flu virus". Since you obviously love dogs, do you plan to adopt one? Also, I don't understand the negative comments on your video. If it's not your cup of tea don't watch it! It's your choice! 👌👍🎥🎬🙂
You're welcome Fox! Thanks for taking the time out of your day (time is precious!) to watch my very long walking videos. hehehe
People wear face masks for a number of reasons: to prevent catching/spreading germs, stop pollen/dust from triggering allergies, to cover up their face because they didn't put make up on, or to just remain anonymous. I wear a mask often only to remain anonymous. It helps with my anxiety when I'm out and about in crowded areas of Tokyo.
I would love to adopt a dog but I can't say exactly when that will happen. Maybe after I'm a bit more settled in Japan. If I get a car, I'd love to go on road trips with my dog! ^^
Thank you for watching!!!
Looking good Cory! Great video! Hope all is well with you.
Thanks Ajax, I appreciate it! I hope you're doing well too. ^^
good video a sound is perfect
Fascinating find at the end, Cory!!! Enjoyed the walk with you...Always - Blessings - Gypsy
Yes, the shrine at the end was a big surprise. I had no idea it was there! Thank you for watching, Gypsy!!
Another great video/ love the commuter train services. It nice to look in your back of your home and see rail lines
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the walk. I'd love to make a documentary about Japanese train culture, but I don't have the resources or funds to do that. One can dream, though, right? haha
Always enjoy your walking tours. :)
Thank you for taking the time to watch them. I really appreciate it. ^^ They aren't short videos, and your time is precious. So thank you very much.
@@CoryMay81 Of course! I always watch to the end. :) Watching your videos make me feel like I'm there in Japan again which is great because I really miss it.
They Seem To Like To Trim Their Bushes Into Strange And Abstract Shapes.
Yeah, they definitely love pruning and shaping trees. ^^
I enjoyed this so much, thanks, Cory! I wonder if you know why some cars had their windshield wipers raised (19:52, 25:53). I do that when we are getting a snow storm (to keep the wipers from getting frozen to the window), but obviously that’s not a worry in the summer in Tokyo. 😁 Do you have any idea? I also found the playing of the song at 5:30 every day to be so interesting. It’s a much more charming test than the blaring beeps we get for the tests of the US’s emergency broadcast network on TV and radio!
You're welcome, Swansox! I'm not sure why the wipers were up. Maybe the owner just cleaned the windows? No clue.
Thanks for always watching and leaving comments/questions! Cheers!
It seems that a lot of Japanese love to plant flowers.
They do... they love gardening!
Please show us the vending machines. What kind of things do they have in them...What do they snack on? What kind of pictures are on them?
Thank you for the video! Enjoyed the walk! 👍🏼 Very nice to see you out! Looking good! Hope you are doing well! 💝💟💞💖💜🤗☺️😍
Thanks, Goya! I'm doing alright. I might have some good news to announce in the near future, as well! Hope you're doing well, too! Cheers!
Awesome! Nice video! Thanks!
that was lovely Cory - I enjoyed this relaxing walk around your area - looking forward to more! ♥
Thanks so much for watching the video. Glad you enjoyed it! I have a new walking video about to be uploaded today!
Gosh, I missed Japan. Appreciate what your doing😍👍
You're welcome, I'm glad you can experience Japan again vicariously through my videos. ^^
Love these chill walk videos❤
Glad you enjoy them. Thanks for taking the time to watch them. ^^
Congratulations!
Thank you! ^^
Any all electric cars you see in japan?
Yes, so many full electric vehicles here. Also lots of hybrids. I've seen many charging stations in front of people's homes where they park. I love how quiet the streets are because of how many electric cars are driving around.
That dog really did look like Spudgy. RIP Spudgy 😢
He was a Pekingese right? I think so. Spudgy is such a celebrity and iconic dog, they really should just name the breed Spudgy in honor him. hehehe
I think you are right I think he was Pekingese. They totally should. He was the best boy 😁
26:14 NISSAN PRINCE ROYAL en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Prince_Royal
This is my hometown bro!
I didn't know there were a lot of bike riders in Japan.
Yes, Japan has been using bicycles for a very long time. Small cars are affordable, but parking is expensive, especially in urban areas. Bicycles are just so much easier and have no impact on the environment. ^^
I did notice no crow's crowing. When I was in Japan there is a lot of it.
Only hear the crow's at the end of the video.....hehehe
Yeah, there were only some at the very end of this video. In my other walking videos, there were some throughout the walk.
I hear crows all the time, there's a huge group of them that live in the forest area just next to my apartment building. As I type this, I can hear them. lol
Are the bikes locked up
Yeah, almost all the bikes at those parking areas are locked up. I can't say 100%, but probably close to it.
I love it. Another great walking vid, yay! Here's a dumb question for the day: Is the air quality really bad? Is that why so many people wear face masks? I don't see anyone replying on what kind of car that was with the "N" emblem.
hahaha No question is a dumb question. Always ask questions! ^^ That's my philosophy. Question everything!
The air quality is fine here, much cleaner than Seoul or Hanoi by a lot. But, there is still air pollution, of course, over the Tokyo area. It's just not as bad as other cities around the world.
People wear face masks for a number of reasons: they have a cold and don't want to spread it, they don't want to catch a cold from other people, to prevent dust/pollen from triggering allergies, and to cover up their face. That last one is a big one. People wear masks to remain anonymous or hide the fact they aren't wearing make up or maybe they have a scar and are self-conscious about it. I wear a mask often to remain anonymous.
I was thinking the "N" was for Nissan, but I'm really not sure. I couldn't find anything about this car. Hopefully someone else knows and can leave a comment!
The black car is a 1967 Nissan Gloria/Prince A30s station wagon. An EXTREMELY rare vehicle.
Cory great video as always,but what is an average price for a little house in one of those little neighbourhoods?
Thanks! Uhmmm... I actually have no idea. I'd have to do some research and contact some realtor offices or something to get an idea. Sorry I can't be of help right now.
How tall are you? Sometimes I feel two meters high. btw good vids
I'm 6 feet tall. ^^ But I usually hold my stabilizer with GoPro at about level with my mouth. THanks for watching!!!!!!
I think you can get a interview from them n know more of the community garden. Hope you don't mind my idea's.
One day when my Japanese is a bit better, I might go and ask them about the place and how it operates. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you Cory for your walking video. just wonder if it is easy for a foreigner who can’t speak Japanese to travel around Japan?
You're welcome, Chris. ^^
Yes, it is fairly easy as there are many signs in English while commuting around.
There are many people who visit Japan and travel the entire country without knowing any Japanese.
Although it does help to know some basic greetings and phrases and maybe how to count a little as well.
Cory May thand you for your prompt reply! I have been Japan and quite like Japan. I hope I will revisit one day. Can foreigners buy properties there?
You're welcome. Yes, foreigners can buy property in Japan. There are no restrictions. But you have to submit a notification to the Bank of Japan within 20 days of purchasing any property.
Cory May thand you Cory. You r a such nice man! Are you from America?
I would love to visit Japan but it will never happen because I don't like to fly
Awww... well, maybe one day you can take some sleeping pills and wake up in Japan. hehehe Or maybe there is a way you can get to Japan without flying, like only by boat and car..... but I think you'd have to drive around the world in order to do that. If there's a will, there's a way! ^^
"back of the homes, right here. Right by the track. That can't be nice. Trying to sleep..." reminded me of a scene in Woody Allen's Annie Hall. Check out at 2:34 ua-cam.com/video/EsHwIBR6ivA/v-deo.html
haha Oh man, I haven't seen that film in ages. I forgot about that roller coaster over the house scene. So nuts. haha
I live in a pretty poor country and we have electric wires everywhere. I hate those, because they are ugly. But I can see them in japan too. It spoils the overall picture.
Did you made video about your apartment too?
nature...
its the best.
thank you.
simon 18.7.19
Since being in japan, have you met up with Simon and Martina?
No. We are acquaintances, but not friends or anything like that. I think it'd be weird to meet up with them just because we are UA-camrs, you know what I mean? hehehe
Also, they live in Kichijoji area which is like a 1 hour 30 mins train ride from where I live.
If I bump into them on the streets of Tokyo, I'll definitely say hi. They'll remember me from Google Korea headquarters and their Cafe You Are Here VIP party that I went to.
What is the living cost in Japan. I heard that it 's very expensive and how expensive compare to Viet Nam?
Yes, Japan is fairly expensive, but not too different from America or South Korea. It just depends on what you do, where you go, etc.
It's definitely much more expensive than Vietnam by a lot. A bowl of good Pho Bo is like $1.30 USD in Vietnam, but a bowl of good ramen can be more than $10.00 USD in Japan. That's just one example. Rent, groceries, and other things... it's a huge difference.
I have a question Cory...what's your favourite kind of ramen? I have just discovered shoyu!
I enjoy so many types of ramen... tsukemen... nothing beats a classic shoyu ramen. Tonkotsu and miso based ramens are great, but I'm also a sucker for shio (salt) based ramen. I had this amazing golden salt ramen last week that had ginger in the broth, it was heavenly!
👍🏽
👍
Why no one walking around
There were plenty of people walking in this video. People walking their dogs, riding bicycles, and lots of people by the train station areas both at the beginning of the video and end of the video.
How much does gas cost in Japan
Hmm... I think it's around 160 Yen per liter for regular unleaded. Around that price.
I think that comes out to be $4.50 per gallon or something like that. Pretty expensive.
Oh wait, even more... it's about $5.67 per gallon. I just did the math.
