Its kind of funny how Aki is doing this trip alone, slowly overcoming her anxieties and being more independent.... All to see a toilet in nature that she cannot use.
This is like one of those uncomfortable dreams you have where you have to pee and there's just a random toilet all of the sudden but for some reason you can't actually use it
I know the main forcus is the toilet. But holy shit that ride on the old train is so peaceful and beautiful! I always love to sit in a train's cart like that on a long trip to the countryside. And that spooky forrest shrine gate shot aswell! So good!
I'm glad she didn't hold it in for 3 hours, not just due to the pain but also because I knew something was gonna wrong. That aside, now I know why so many Japanese horror and thriller media is set in the countryside. The complete stillness is perfect for creepy atmospheres and existential dread!
An episode of the Simpsons where Homer’s dad’s kidneys explode made me scared to hold my blatter. So I don’t tend to hold it it and use the toilet when I can
As someone with I.B.S. this a pain I know all to well & believe me when I saw it is the most frustrating thing when you find a restroom & it's closed, locked, or out of service & you are just there like "Well my stomach has decided it is going now not later." The fact that you traveled 3 hours for this is even more absurd, especially the fact that there is no attendant to talk to about it.
In all the bad there is good, honestly if i really needed to pee, even poop, i would totaly lock the black door, and find a corner where the house's can't see thru the black walls ,and just dump it there lol. I had to pee in public spots twice in my life, becasue there wasan't any toilets..
I did have the thought that “you probably should of drank all that once you were only 1 hr away”, but glad you went for the authentic experience, cause that was 100% more entertaining, albeit a forfeit in a sense.
Those people really decided to take the phrase "It's not about the destination;it's about the journey" way too literally. At least the scenery from the train ride was really pretty. Sorry you got screwed over by the toilet being locked.
The personal struggle, the character growth, the unexpected ending. This video feels like one of those episodes in an anime where they solely focus on one character and its sublime
Dude, can we take a moment to appreciate how nice that old train looked. I was getting major Studio Ghibli vibes throughout that whole train journey section.
As a lone traveller myself, I commend your resilience and courage to travel on your own. Keep going alone... as things really do open up to you and you have some of the best moments travelling alone (but end up with others) Happy travels 👌🏼 👍🏻
Clearly from the sign it was meant to be open/used... im assuming someone locked it behind them (which the sign literally says not to do) and now whoever maintains it has to return and unlock it. the drip in the faucet kinda insinuated that it was used semi-recently
I feel so bad for Aki. As a person that suffers from anxiety as well, I know how hard that must have been to do and to get there only for it to be locked had to really, really suck.
That old train that you took was so cute, it reminded me of the scene in Spirited away when Chihiro was just sitting on the train with No Face just sitting and thinking as the spirits around her were getting on and off. Nothing bad happening, just something calming and gentle, a little sad but also sweet. Like a spiritual journey for yourself. It may not of been that big of a thing, but it reminded me of that scene.
Absolutely hilarious. The idea, the journey itself, the scenery and the disappointing end created one of the best videos I recently watched. Be proud for stepping out of your comfort zone.
I can imagine the anxiety traveling all the way there to use a toilet, just for it to locked, having your emotions flip around being pissed that you can’t use it.
The more I find out about Japan the more interesting, crazy and unique of a place it is, and I have been learning about Japan since I was about 14. I always find there is something new to learn about Japan and a toilet in the middle of the forest is new to me.
Before you mentioned it, I was thinking your footage of the trip through the country looked like a Ghibli film. Congratulations on your solo trip! I'm a bit inspired to try it myself one day.
You got to admit that she was brave enough to go three and a half hours away from her house in a foreign country by herself. She said she does not like going anywhere by herself. She had mad props for doing it on her own and getting there safely. It is a bummer that it was locked but she was brave enough to do it.
With the gap in the door you could use a shoe lace with a slip loop in the middle to rotate the lock. A little something I like to call "Reverse Escape Room" sounds better than "Breaking and Entering"
the fact aki was about to try and risk her health for dear life ((like this could have seriously messed with her if she had actually tried)) just to piss encased in glass on video is an all new kind of bewildering
Note to anyone that reads this: You actually really shouldn't hold your pee in that long, it could cause bladder issues or trouble later on regarding those areas. One guy even died because he held his pee in too long.
Even though it's not the content u wanted I'm glad u did this trip by yourself. Growing and working on independence is actually a huge step for u aki. Congrats girl
You have some of the most unpredictable content for a channel I consistently watch. I just wanted to let you now how much I appreciate that about you! :D
Figures it's just an art piece... The toilets nearby should have been the tip off to it not being a toilet that could be used! At least the trip was pretty
4:23 this reminds me of Studio Ghibli feels ❤️ I love train rides, but there’s something about old train rides and scenic routes in general that fills the soul. I hope you do more rural trips like this, Aki! And kudos for venturing on your own like that ❤️
just when i thought that japan couldn´t surprise me even more 🤣japan really has everything. why do they have a toilet all the way out there? why is it locked? where is the key and who has it? if you find more things like this please make more videos. thanks aki for todays video😄
Imagine you didn’t have a toot in your house because there was that right next to it, and you had to take a shit really bad. Like I’m talking sick stomach, and it was locked. I’d cry
iver the past 2 years i have been growing my independence since i am basically on my own, and even if it gets lonely sometimes, i realize thanks to this how much I've actually accomplished, not that i had much a choice in traveling places alone trips like what u did are truly inspiring and amazing, so happy you could do it!! it's a great feeling that you can independent :))
I felt my anxiety spike watching this video, yet another part of me. Was like, it's so beautiful ❤️ yay adventures. Then remember that she all alone, did she bring toilet paper? I'm concerned, this was scary
I’m glad you still put the video out because a. It was a beautiful trip and b. It’s good to see these things happen to other people and not just me 😅! It’s important to show that not everything works out perfectly. Things don’t always go according to plan but at least you had a lovely trip ❤
Hey like, super proud of you for doing that all alone, especially with your anxiety. We gotta do things that scare us from time to time, otherwise we'll never know what we're capable of.
I hope she knows that what I saw gonna say is I wanna see her come back here with Joey or one of her other friends and go check out that shrine in the middle of nowhere rural japan.
The plus side: Glad enjoyed a great time traveling even with Anxiety. The Downside: people suck locking that toilet without letting you truly enjoy nature. The Cursed side: The temple entrance looks Eerily similar to the one used in Yosuga no Sora
I find it quite comforting to know that at that tiny little run down train station in the middle of nowhere someone is still taking care of those flowers
That really sucks that the toilet is locked after such a long trip, but that train ride was really cool and reminded me a lot of the train scene in spirited away.

This video was hilarious. 🤣 The dramatic act on the toilet, the B roll of the nature toilet with the music. The smiling with the toilet to being pissed. Was immaculate entertainment.
7:08 I bet if you go in there there's gonna be a huge clearing on the other end surrounded by the forest with a giant tree with an abandoned cursed capsule machine at the foot of it and if you're brave enough to insert a coin into it you'll receive a ghostly prize that'll change your life forever.. (a little reference for the cultured who know😉)
Always buy a ticket. You can buy the cheapest, then pay the difference with a station attendant. That way you never over pay. At least 20 years ago you could sleep on the train and get off 1 station from where you boarded.
I just imagine that when she comes back joey asks where she's been and she just casually says: Oh, I took a 3 hour train ride to take a piss on a random toilet in the middle of a forest. And he's just like: Cool... wait, WHAT?!
Despite the toilet being locked I loved the scenery, I hope to see you travel to these kind of weird countryside places more often, I love this sort of content (:
honestly, this video is hella entertaining, and scenery out of the train window and in the nature was so chill, especially that quietness~ still an awesome video, thank you, Aki, for uploading it, and it tells a lot about your skills as a youtuber that you still made this video very entertaining hehe ps: yes THANK GOD you went to the bathroom on your way to that toilet, that would be so much more painful if you didn't lmao another ps: there is something fatefully devastating but beautiful to go all that way only to not fulfill your goal at the end
You know the old saying it’s more about the adventure then the destination. You basically went into a studio movie with amazing view. I hope you got home safe. I never have a doul moment watching your videos.
That wonderful old Ghibli-esque train, and the footage of the rural countryside made for the 'price of admission' and a beautiful little video on their own. And Aki got to have a nice day trip / adventure made for some amount of personal growth. Actually, I don't think that it really mattered that the toilet was locked. If we consider it as a public art piece: "A toilet in nature". And that's exactly what it was.
Sorry it was a "wasted" trip as far as intention was concerned, but this was still such a lovely vid to watch! Ngl, would totally loop those train ride scenes to give me a background to relax to. Thanks for sharing the journey!!
Sucks that it was locked. It has been a year, though, so the hype probably fizzled out and with fewer and fewer visitors coming to see and use a random toilet they were probably like "Let's just lock it so we don't have to waste time keeping an eye on it and cleaning it regularly". Doesn't make your situation any better but maybe some of the frustration can be logic-ed away.
Least they could've done was change up the sign if that was the case. Saying 'please leave (gate) door open after use' while the cubicle door itself is eternally locked is a bit of an oversight.
Aki being pissed that she couldn't literally piss. 💀
I’m actually having issues with my bladder and I HATE how she makes a video for this.
Not helping the situation at all.😓😓

Yep, guaranteed this increased her anxiety. Now you become afraid everytime you travel anywhere that is going to be for nothing.
This is like one of those uncomfortable dreams you have where you have to pee and there's just a random toilet all of the sudden but for some reason you can't actually use it
And then you have a relaxing pee. Then you wake up.

And that spooky forrest shrine gate shot aswell! So good!
I want to know if Aki built up the courage to check the shrine out tbh!
Honestly I want to go there myself now just so I can take that train ride.
You really did go and touch grass for this toilet. The scenery during the train ride was really great!
Omg! What if that was the point of the toilet. Not to actually use but so that people would go out and touch some grass😭
Aki traveling over 3 hours, only for the toilet to be locked has to be one of the most disappointing things she’s experienced.
