Your take on Kyoto is so different (and more nuanced) than any I have seen, mostly because of the food places you chose and that you explore out of the "tourist" areas. You deserve more subs! (This is a hopeful comment to feed the Al Gore Rhythm).
I love how you guys take the time to go and find the videos you mention and then remember to put them in the description, It's a little thing but so many big UA-camrs don't do it so thanks for that. You guys make the best travel videos I've ever seen and i just want to thank you for the hours and hours of entertainment you've given me. All your videos are so in-depth and well put together, it's amazing. You both have such an incredible way of talking about and explaining things that it makes stuff that could be mundane or confusing, exciting and easy to understand. Thank you for making so many outstanding videos.
+Kyde and Eric Hey Eric have you tried the Mister Donut in Japan its a donut place I am sure you know what it is but not too sure. Please find one there and do a review please. Thanks
Hi Kyde and Eric,I live in upstate New York and recently discovered your channel. I have enjoyed each of your videos immensely and always learn something new from watching them. You two make it even more interesting and enjoyable for me learning about Japanese culture,food and travel. The Hiroshima episode was very moving and powerful..Thank you for the time and effort invested in putting these videos together for us, looking very forward to future episodes :-)
Hi you two! I just wanted to express my delight in all of your videos! I am going back to the beginning and watching them all. It's so much fun to share your journeys and experiences through this media. So, thanks for including us! Happy and safe adventures. 🍣🍙🍹🍽✈️
Mackerel has such an amazing flavor because it's oil content is off the charts. And the oil almost is butter like. It makes the fish have a very thick and unique flavor naturally. I love it!
Magnificentmeal ..mess up to hear you did reading your comment some more and I agree the both have way to make everything awesome ..because they are nice ppls and fun and cool. So good comment too comment too :)
That Okonomiyaki restaurant, in Gion is so much fun. Was there in 2007. In addition to the interesting notice board there were mannequins throughout the restaurant, at the tables.No need to dine alone. Like you guys, we enjoyed is very much. Thanks. Must get back to Japan once this crazy situation settles down.
Thanks for another great video! In the AirBnB house, the "stairs to nowhere" look like they were the original staircase before they expanded. If you look on the paneling of the new stairwell at 9:50 and 14:40 you can see new wood paneling with the same angle of the old staircase that lines up with the mystery section. That toilet room looks like a new addition, and both the mystery window and cement stairwell are both probably set in load bearing walls and were too expensive to remove. It also looks like the old stairwell emerged into that bedding closet room and is a new height expansion. (I watch too many remodeling shows). BTW that radiator-like heater is a new electric heater that is totally safe to use. I have one like that in the US and it is filled with oil (not as fuel) instead of water. The heating element heats the oil, and the oil remains warm for hours. It also has a thermostat on it that cycles it on and off, and with no exposed heating element, it is safer because there is also a much lower chance of anything falling on it and catching fire, unlike that smaller heater you were using downstairs in the living room. But like Mike the Gamer mentioned, that type of heater usually has a mercury switch in it that will shut it off if it is knocked over.
+Gee Ell Ahh, cool info! I do think you are right about the house having been heavily renovated recently. Pretty cool little place despite it's....let's say....."charm." hahaha. -E
Finally, man. I was so hyped for this episode. Now im amazed bout the tube at the house. It's like controling an airplane hahaha Now I watched the video of the guy trespassing the Nintendo building. Although I understand the feeling, trespassing ain't cool bro. Anyway, good thing is you could stand on such place. The tube restorant is so rad, I wish I could eat somewhere like that one day. You lucky guys. And I agree with you Eric, those little fishes were creeepy. At the end of this video, I was wondering...does the japanese people realize how lucky they are to live in such beautiful place? Oh, by the way, Im sorry about Kyde, going back to work like that must be a nightmare. Ok, thanks for this video guys, it was a blast.
+HongwareeChannel I can't speak for Japanese people but I can tell you when I am out of Japan and I come back I am super super happy to return. Not that I dislike other places, but I just like Japan a lot, personally. -Eric
Kyde and Eric Well, that's alright, because, from what i can see on your videos, Japan seem like a place to live in peace and happiness. I mean, there is so much nature and ancient stuff. So mystical.
+kelel seems like japanese house building code , dont yet have minimums for thermic, sound ,isolation which is amazingly contrary to the japanese products sold to the rest of the world
Yes, was waiting for notification in my phone. At the moment I'm at work fixing some broken python code, but now I know what my wife and I will be watching at the dinner table today :D Thank you guys :)
+Kyde and Eric Thank you, I'm a python (programming language) developer. I get the joke :D Somehow today I will fix my broken snake... I know how it sounds... :D
23:31 This restaurant went out of business sometime before March 2017. My parents stayed at an AirBnB across the street at that time and I saw the glasswork is still there, I knew it had looked familiar.
I had that same plug in radiator in the bedroom, it works great! 3 of those heated a 3 bedroom 1500sq ft house when our furnace broke in the middle of a Chicago winter. We kept them away from walls, but otherwise we felt very safe with them. Put off a ton of heat.
Another nice video. Currently packing for 6 weeks vacation in Vietnam. That last dish looked very tasty. The air bnb looked like the house was split into two to create a rental.
Woo new video!! People always think Japan is on the cutting edge of technology and it's partially true but when you went through your Airbnb place, it clearly shows some things are still in the past. I'm not saying it's a bad thing as I think it's a huge part of the charm of Japan. Did you partake in the seafood okonomiyaki, Eric? I thought that stuff was more of a pancake and less running egg calzone/taco hybrid.
+LancerJak Yea, hahahaha, Japan is "cutting edge" in some very niche areas, and behind the times everywhere else. It's OK, adds to the charm. I did not jive on the seafood okonomiyaki, too many scary sea creatures. -E
G'day from Australia. I am so happy I discovered your vlogs. I am heading to Japan in October and plan do to a day trip to Kyoto and you've both made me feel so inspired and excited to head there. :o) Especially enjoyed your food experiences. I'm now going to have to binge watch the rest of your videos ;o)
Ahh Kyoto was a great place to visit. It was almost overwhelming to me since there was so much to see, and it felt like I had barely seen anything despite 5 days of wandering about. When I left it was like I was leaving too soon, like I was being a party pooper and ducking out early. It does feel like nowhere else in the world. Which reminds me, another place that had a unique feeling about it was Nara. It was an ancient capital of Japan- the first "permanent" capital since before the tradition was after each emperor died, the imperial court would pick up and move to an entirely new city. Anyway I stayed in the old part of town and despite it being a decent sized city, it felt like I was in a small town. The fact there were deer everywhere in the parks, and the old part of town were buildings that were 400+ years old helped a lot. My ryokan window looked out on a temple covered in gold leaf and bright colours... Kyoto and Nara were both in the unique atmosphere category. I know you've already been to Nara but it might be worth a second visit.
Hey Eric wow that bath tub is full old Skool !!!! My wife's family have one push temperature and soon as it's set it will play soft music to tell you when it's ready !!!!! 😄
When I went to Kyoto in November 2013 I booked my hotel 11 months in advance for around £70 ($100) per night and that was for a very well located hotel next to Shijo Station on the Karasuma Line. Then a few months later around March/April all the well located hotels with good prices were sold out! The Sakura season is even more mental though.. Again I went to book the hotel around 11 months in advance of the trip and I was very lucky with getting one of the last few good prices for a decent hotel! The problem is a lot of the tour guides (looking at you Japanican) book out tons of rooms at the affordable hotels for the Kyoto + Shinkansen tour package....
Great video! I always look forward to watching you guys! Kyoto would be a fun place to visit! Have you ever went to Aokigahara, also known as the Suicide Forest or Sea of Trees, it is a forest that lies at Mount Fuji's northwest base in Japan?
You see those paloma style hot water heaters a fair amount in Hawaii, although they are usually rigged for the whole house. You also see ofuros as well. And, yes, they are tiny -- unless it is a new installation. I have seen cylindrical ones with seats molded inside. Much more comfortable, but difficult to get in and out of! Love your videos!
that salty black stringy things you got with the red bean soup are dried kelp. It is usually goes well with green tea...poor Eric did not realize it was yet another seafood in his mouth :)
I like the radiator that you showed. I have an oil radiator with fan. You can lay a t shirt or towel on that but I am only having it for the heat. It is safe. With oil radiator or electrical radiator or heat element you have to remember to not put something upon it. This is what people has to have in their mind. But with an oil radiator you can have it on all the time.
I love your videos so much. I am looking forward to Fridays because of you guys. I suggest you go to Awa Odori in Shikoku. Apparently, you can join and become dancers yourself if you plan ahead and it is supposed to be a lot of fun!
Commenting from the future to say that old Nintendo building is becoming a proper museum open to the public in October. Seeing this again makes me wonder exactly how long Nintendo was planning for that?
love all of your videos. i've always wondered. if you need to clean yourself before using the bath tub, then why use the bath tub if you're already clean? or is the bath tub just used once awhile for relaxation?
I j ust wanted to let you guys know that I love your videos! I'm planning to go to Japan for a month this summer and these videos make me so much more excited and give me so many more ideas on where to go and what to do! You guys seem to have so much fun with everything and I really enjoy your eating videos :)!! keep up with these videos and keep having fun \(°v°)/
Completely random, but that shade of green looks really nice on Kyde! I hope that doesn't sound creepy. Loved that Airbnb house. And what a great price! The bathtub thing was crazy complicated! I suppose you get used to it if you live with it. Also, that ice cream sundae thing looked amazing, but she didn't explain what all the various parts of it were! (Not a criticism, I was just curious.)
@@kydeanderic Kyde can and you can ride bitch..hahahaha. But for reals, it was a pain to get my regular license. Actually spent money on a motorcycle license. Still can't drive a manual car legally here.....Hahahahaha!
hi guys, Eric do u still go play shooter arcades? can u do a video just about arcades plz..😄 kyde have u cook something different in ur rice cooker instead of banana cake? 😁
Hey guys :) love your videos. Just spent the night watching most of them. I'm In the middle of an education masters at the moment and Did Japanese in secondary school in Ireland and excelled at it. I'd love to become qualified in teaching the language. It requires me to spend 6 months in Japan before I can teach it though (as well as having particular modules done). I lived in Singapore as a kid which was very americanised in comparison to Japan so seeing your vids was like a new experience of Asia :) What I'm trying to get at is, do you know anything about the JET programme to teach English for a year? If so, is it worth doing or should I try to find a decent job in Japan through different routes? :) thanks guys and hope you're well xo
+Helster We don't know anything about the JET program at all, but with your qualifications I don't think you are going to have any trouble finding work teaching in Japan. Check out gaijinpot.com for more info on finding work. -E
+Kyde and Eric Thanks, Eric. You're very kind. I can't wait to see more of your adventures! Will stay subscribed. Hope Kyde is well and best of luck. ありがとうございました :)
Interesting how the heating tech and everything in the Airbnb seems so archaic, yet it's full of useful features that our more modern tech in America doesn't have, like the recycling water through the heater in the bathtub
+Michael Bidstrup Haha, that is such a Japanese thing. Advanced in some ways, archaic in others. I can zoom across the country in the world's best train system but if I want to buy a ticket I can't do it online. -Eric
Cool to see an Air BNB place but I still prefer a hotel. Going back to Tokyo in April and got my hotel in Ueno for $42 night. Those deserts looked amazing and the pirate chicken got me drooling.
You were not being really careful with your belongings in 43:50 (red pouch), is it because you feel safe in Japan? Love your videos btw! Going to Japan in 2 weeks for about a month ^^
+Lutisiwi I'm not Kyde/Eric, but I can tell you Japan is incredibly safe. You should ofc not be stupid when you get there, cause pickpocketing can still happen, but it is incredibly rare. You can leave your wallet on the ground somewhere and 9 times out of 10 someone who notices it will go out of their way to get it back to you.
+Lutisiwi Haha, good eye. Yea, that is her wallet. Probably has at least $100USD (in yen) inside as well as her ID, insurance card, driver's licence, etc. It's amazing that we don't have to worry about stuff like that at all in Japan as there is basically zero crime here. Unlike anywhere else on earth, I suspect. -E
I stayed in an older Japanese house that was finished but kind of not. it was all wood but it was way darker colored and the windows were tiny. at night walking on the creaky floors and dark narrow windy stairs was super scary. I'd be too scared to look around corners in case I saw a scary ghost boy or something staring back at me.
Thanks for sharing another great episode. The Okonomiyaki restaurant(42 min - ) is pretty interesting. I’d definitely visit there next time I trip to Kyoto. I googled “壹銭洋食“ - issen-yousyoku - , then I found that: Rice? 43:16 = 天かす (tenkasu = deep-fried tempura batter) Octopus 43: 29 is actually 竹輪/ちくわ (chikuwa = fish sausage) Here’s their site: www.issen-yosyoku.co.jp/#!/c14x1
+Sami Kozono Glad you enjoyed! That okonomiyaki place seemed pretty popular. I wish we had looked inside, I heard it is crazy in there, be sure to check it out for us! -E
+Shreyash Garg Dunno, this is the brand we use. They are in Japanese, not sure if they have English versions. www.mapple.co.jp/mapple/product/guide/mapple/japan.html
Honestly I do two things when I'm pissed off, I sing and or play Piano or I watch you guys' videos. I'm just going to say that I hate Aquariums and that's why I'm pissed off but besides that, great video once again I'm really enjoying Kyoto.
+wontondestructxn They don't own the music, but they have a link in the description so you can listen the full song(you can download the video and make it a mp3 file ^^, like most of the people do, I guess)
That house was bad "for me". I wouldn't have enjoyed it at all. When I travel I like my place to be a part of my time where I can relax and enjoy some time in it. This house felt depressing for some reason!. Great video as usual though
Hey are those 40:04 bamboo "don't urinate on the wall" thingys? They are really beautiful, but I think I heard that's what they might be for? Does anyone know?
+Kyde and Eric I also wouldn't normally think such an odd thing as urination protection while looking at such lovely wooden things. Except that I heard that MAY be one reason they are put up in some areas of Japan! I really did! Another Jvlogger created a vlog that mentioned it. 😃 Maybe one day we'll learn the true facts - I hope so! Meanwhile, I'm happy to receive your reply😊 I'm a true fan 😊! Happy trails 🌈Kyde!
I'm surprised people comment that you two eat a lot. For a man his height I feel like Eric really doesn't eat much at all. I'm always surprised with how small his meals are. My stepbrother is 6'7 and he eats probably 3X what Eric eats in a sitting. Keeping him fed was always a struggle for my mom while he lived at home. He went through a gallon of milk in 2-3 days, all on his own. No one else in the house drinks cow's milk. And my stepbrother isn't fat. Watching you two I've always been concerned that Eric doesn't eat enough.
+mandas677 Haha, I find it interesting how some people think we overeat and other people think we undereat, even though they see the same footage. But to be honest the videos don't show everything we do eat, and sometimes it appears we eat a lot in a video but in reality it will be 3 meals in a day separated by hours of walking around that doesn't come off properly once everything is edited. -Eric
Kyde and Eric That is funny. But I guess we all compare it to our own lives and what we're used to. My stepbrother and stepdad are both extremely tall and have huge appetites so I'm used to seeing men your height eat a ton of food. But if you're healthy with the amount you eat then it doesn't really matter what I'm used to seeing. Or if I'm surprised that you would feel full after what I would see as an amount of food that would make someone Kyde's size full, not your size. And like you said, we don't see every bite, you just show us the interesting bits. So we miss the pieces of toast/apple/whatever other boring food items you are eating throughout the day.
the stairs to nowhere leads to a hidden room where a lil' boy hides in the day and crawls out at night to steal your food while you are sleeping :o btw can you guys share this residence listing on airbnb?
I can't help but wonder.. Do Japanese elderly ever have knee/back/hip trouble? Because sitting down so low & standing back up can prove difficult when you are no longer a spring chicken. :P but I guess with more modern homes, they have sofas & higher tables... I'm just wondering with more traditional homes like these.
I wish that old lady in the video would have pulled out a some crazy moves or just haymaker the guy for trespassing. Alternatively I wish a dude in Bowser costumed have come out and tell him to leave in Japanese.
Your take on Kyoto is so different (and more nuanced) than any I have seen, mostly because of the food places you chose and that you explore out of the "tourist" areas. You deserve more subs! (This is a hopeful comment to feed the Al Gore Rhythm).

You guys make the best travel videos I've ever seen and i just want to thank you for the hours and hours of entertainment you've given me. All your videos are so in-depth and well put together, it's amazing. You both have such an incredible way of talking about and explaining things that it makes stuff that could be mundane or confusing, exciting and easy to understand.
Thank you for making so many outstanding videos.
+Dragonbrad Amen to that.
+Dragonbrad Wow, thanks so much! Very kind of you! You are very welcome! -E
+Kyde and Eric Just don't fart in the tub and you will be good.

+Lola Johnson Awesome to hear you enjoy the videos! Hope you even enjoy those older videos...some of them are rough around the edges! Haha. -E
I'm so glad Eric translated that complex kitchen sink & bathroom too - I really wanted to learn & understand all that!
I'm really happy that you guys went to Kyoto. Its actually helped me a lot to plain my kyoto section a bit better! Thank you!
+AnimeStarwind Sweet, I love hearing that! -E

+TM Roxie Gross! -E
That house tour in the first ten minutes or so is fantastic. I would TOTALLY stay in a house like that in japan. Looks like a really great time.
+Lupin Maru Glad you liked the tour, I thought the place was fascinating too! -Eric
After a really shitty day at work it's nice to see a video from you guys, thanks for making my day much better.
+magnificentmeal Great to hear!! -E
+magnificentmeal Well, the part about the day getting better. Not great to hear you had a bad day, haha.

Kyde & Eric: such quality people giving such quality videos
+ozdoits
+Kyde and Eric yeaaaaay, got me some Kyde-love 🙂🙋🏻🙃🌈✨
+ozdoits More magical rainbows! -Kyde
I about choked on my tea when you said people can hear every Transaction you make in the bathroom LOL!
+kelel Then I guess you don't know anything about living in poverty ^^
+kelel seems like japanese house building code , dont yet have minimums for thermic, sound ,isolation which is amazingly contrary to the japanese products sold to the rest of the world
I live in a shithole were I can hear other renters taking a dump.
Edit: yeah, "shithole" and "dump".
We have used AirBNB twice, once in Tokyo and once in Osaka, and it was amazing. You get the local feel plus it is way cheaper than an Hotel.
Yes, was waiting for notification in my phone. At the moment I'm at work fixing some broken python code, but now I know what my wife and I will be watching at the dinner table today :D Thank you guys :)

G'day from Australia. I am so happy I discovered your vlogs. I am heading to Japan in October and plan do to a day trip to Kyoto and you've both made me feel so inspired and excited to head there. :o) Especially enjoyed your food experiences. I'm now going to have to binge watch the rest of your videos ;o)
Awesome, enjoy your trip! Perfect season! -E
Ahh Kyoto was a great place to visit. It was almost overwhelming to me since there was so much to see, and it felt like I had barely seen anything despite 5 days of wandering about.

My ryokan window looked out on a temple covered in gold leaf and bright colours... Kyoto and Nara were both in the unique atmosphere category.
I know you've already been to Nara but it might be worth a second visit.
+ikaruseijin01 Yea, we were only in Nara for an afternoon if I remember. Maybe we should pencil it in for another visit. -E
Heart it all feedback from you Eric thats awesome..and also Kyde too she awesome :D
Wow, you guys really got a good deal on that Airbnb!!! Awesome
Hey Eric wow that bath tub is full old Skool !!!! My wife's family have one push temperature and soon as it's set it will play soft music to tell you when it's ready !!!!! 😄
+astroboy3507 Haha, same as the one in our apartment. -E
Great video. My brother is in Kyoto right now, I hope I can visit it myself in the future.
+Xacur Nice, hope he enjoyed it there! -E
When I went to Kyoto in November 2013 I booked my hotel 11 months in advance for around £70 ($100) per night and that was for a very well located hotel next to Shijo Station on the Karasuma Line. Then a few months later around March/April all the well located hotels with good prices were sold out!
The Sakura season is even more mental though.. Again I went to book the hotel around 11 months in advance of the trip and I was very lucky with getting one of the last few good prices for a decent hotel! The problem is a lot of the tour guides (looking at you Japanican) book out tons of rooms at the affordable hotels for the Kyoto + Shinkansen tour package....
+Kari Haruka Yea, luckily Japanese tour groups don't use airbnb! -E
Great video! I always look forward to watching you guys! Kyoto would be a fun place to visit!
Have you ever went to Aokigahara, also known as the Suicide Forest or Sea of Trees, it is a forest that lies at Mount Fuji's northwest base in Japan?
That's great to hear Kyde we go to Tokyo we walk a lot also it's the best way to see it all !!!! and save on the gym !!!! He,he,,
You were close to us, we live in the Kyoto area! :) it's a good place to visit in the autumn and spring.
+tom moore Yea, we loved it! -E

Yeah! I've been waiting for numba 3. Woot woot. Thanks
+Allison Hernandez you are welcome! -E
Awesome video, thank you! I think that black syrup is Kuromitsu and I think that was also vinegared kelp snack. -Rod (Patron)
+Shinsen Kaizen Yea, I think you are right! -E
Awesome video as always!
Most certainly!
+Midnight Special Music Thanks!
37:08 Kyde describing a beautiful serene moment 37:12 Eric shoves her away LOL
that salty black stringy things you got with the red bean soup are dried kelp. It is usually goes well with green tea...poor Eric did not realize it was yet another seafood in his mouth :)
Oh no. -E
Wow! Kyde's nails were on fleek during that trip! （笑）
+MrTrifarce Yea, they are looking great! -E
I like the radiator that you showed. I have an oil radiator with fan.
You can lay a t shirt or towel on that but I am only having it for the heat. It is safe.
With oil radiator or electrical radiator or heat element you have to remember to not
put something upon it.
This is what people has to have in their mind. But with an oil radiator you can have it
on all the time.
+word20 Oh neat, never lived with one before so we were afraid of it! -E
I love your videos so much. I am looking forward to Fridays because of you guys. I suggest you go to Awa Odori in Shikoku. Apparently, you can join and become dancers yourself if you plan ahead and it is supposed to be a lot of fun!
+RyoSaeba121 We really want to do a long trip in Shikoku sometime! Hopefully soon! -E
Commenting from the future to say that old Nintendo building is becoming a proper museum open to the public in October. Seeing this again makes me wonder exactly how long Nintendo was planning for that?
I feel like Nintendo plans on the long term haha
love all of your videos. i've always wondered. if you need to clean yourself before using the bath tub, then why use the bath tub if you're already clean? or is the bath tub just used once awhile for relaxation?
You nailed the relaxation part! -E
That bathroom is nearly identical to 2 houses I lived in in Hokkaido. Very common in areas away from Tokyo
Ahh, very cool. -E
I j ust wanted to let you guys know that I love your videos! I'm planning to go to Japan for a month this summer and these videos make me so much more excited and give me so many more ideas on where to go and what to do! You guys seem to have so much fun with everything and I really enjoy your eating videos :)!! keep up with these videos and keep having fun \(°v°)/
+Siyanafair Awesome! Happy to hear our videos are giving you some ideas on things to do! Hope you have a wonderful trip! -E
Completely random, but that shade of green looks really nice on Kyde! I hope that doesn't sound creepy.
Loved that Airbnb house. And what a great price! The bathtub thing was crazy complicated! I suppose you get used to it if you live with it.
Also, that ice cream sundae thing looked amazing, but she didn't explain what all the various parts of it were! (Not a criticism, I was just curious.)
+Yesica1993 Yea, she looks great in that jacket! -E
Next time you're in Kyoto let me know. I know a place that rents out old manual shift genski vespas. Loved you're Vietnam videos!
Sounds fun! But I can't drive in Japan, haha. -E
@@kydeanderic Kyde can and you can ride bitch..hahahaha.
But for reals, it was a pain to get my regular license. Actually spent money on a motorcycle license. Still can't drive a manual car legally here.....Hahahahaha!
I had exactly the same bath when I lived for a year in Nagoya!! :)
Nice! -E
hi guys,
Eric do u still go play shooter arcades? can u do a video just about arcades plz..😄 kyde have u cook something different in ur rice cooker instead of banana cake? 😁
+ottoniel gonzalez Yea, sometimes! We might have a short video about an arcade game coming soon. -E
Your videos are always awesome
+User Name Thanks! -E
User Name Awesome comment to comment to :) .
great video we need more
+Ahmad Farhan More are on their way!
Hey guys :) love your videos. Just spent the night watching most of them. I'm In the middle of an education masters at the moment and Did Japanese in secondary school in Ireland and excelled at it. I'd love to become qualified in teaching the language. It requires me to spend 6 months in Japan before I can teach it though (as well as having particular modules done). I lived in Singapore as a kid which was very americanised in comparison to Japan so seeing your vids was like a new experience of Asia :) What I'm trying to get at is, do you know anything about the JET programme to teach English for a year? If so, is it worth doing or should I try to find a decent job in Japan through different routes? :) thanks guys and hope you're well xo
+Helster We don't know anything about the JET program at all, but with your qualifications I don't think you are going to have any trouble finding work teaching in Japan. Check out gaijinpot.com for more info on finding work. -E
+Kyde and Eric
Thanks, Eric. You're very kind. I can't wait to see more of your adventures! Will stay subscribed. Hope Kyde is well and best of luck. ありがとうございました :)
And that is how hot water is discovered.....Btw nice video!
Snack Fanny? That's a game changer for everyone involved.
+Emma Hallows Hahahahah.
Interesting how the heating tech and everything in the Airbnb seems so archaic, yet it's full of useful features that our more modern tech in America doesn't have, like the recycling water through the heater in the bathtub
+Michael Bidstrup Haha, that is such a Japanese thing. Advanced in some ways, archaic in others. I can zoom across the country in the world's best train system but if I want to buy a ticket I can't do it online. -Eric
Cool to see an Air BNB place but I still prefer a hotel. Going back to Tokyo in April and got my hotel in Ueno for $42 night. Those deserts looked amazing and the pirate chicken got me drooling.
+Perdomot Wow, that's a hella cheap price! -E
+Kyde and Eric I use the website Agoda which is awesome. Check it out.
You were not being really careful with your belongings in 43:50 (red pouch), is it because you feel safe in Japan?
Love your videos btw! Going to Japan in 2 weeks for about a month ^^
+Lutisiwi I'm not Kyde/Eric, but I can tell you Japan is incredibly safe. You should ofc not be stupid when you get there, cause pickpocketing can still happen, but it is incredibly rare. You can leave your wallet on the ground somewhere and 9 times out of 10 someone who notices it will go out of their way to get it back to you.
+Lutisiwi Haha, good eye. Yea, that is her wallet. Probably has at least $100USD (in yen) inside as well as her ID, insurance card, driver's licence, etc. It's amazing that we don't have to worry about stuff like that at all in Japan as there is basically zero crime here. Unlike anywhere else on earth, I suspect. -E
Water boiler? That is a kettle, Eric. lol
+John Doe Hahahaha, I guess it is. -
Eric's shirt is dope!!
+Mr JoeJon Haha, I keep an eye peeled for fleek shirts. -E
I stayed in an older Japanese house that was finished but kind of not. it was all wood but it was way darker colored and the windows were tiny. at night walking on the creaky floors and dark narrow windy stairs was super scary. I'd be too scared to look around corners in case I saw a scary ghost boy or something staring back at me.
+Cw A Hahahah
All I can think is the 'stairs to nowhere' are a display area for like figures or family trinkets?
I don't want it to be to nowhere!!
+IteMaledicti Haha, yea, I think that's what it is, but I think I'd rather not have that weird shape in the shower. -E
What is these radiator stories about? I use that kind to heat my living room and I'm fine :) talking about walking everywhere. I know how that is
+TheNerdyExplorer Yeah, pretty much all houses in my country use them. Totally safe.
Toyon95 I use it too.
Thanks for sharing another great episode. The Okonomiyaki restaurant(42 min - ) is pretty interesting.
I’d definitely visit there next time I trip to Kyoto.
I googled “壹銭洋食“ - issen-yousyoku - , then I found that:
Rice? 43:16 = 天かす (tenkasu = deep-fried tempura batter)
Octopus 43: 29 is actually 竹輪/ちくわ (chikuwa = fish sausage)
Here’s their site: www.issen-yosyoku.co.jp/#!/c14x1
+Sami Kozono Glad you enjoyed! That okonomiyaki place seemed pretty popular. I wish we had looked inside, I heard it is crazy in there, be sure to check it out for us! -E
That contraption in the bathroom looks like it needs you to input the nuclear launch codes to operate it.
Two people have to turn their keys at the same time. -E
Where do you buy those colorful magazine type books (like nagoya one) which kyde usually fills up with post-it.
+Shreyash Garg Japanese book stores. -E
Is it available online?
+Shreyash Garg Dunno, this is the brand we use. They are in Japanese, not sure if they have English versions. www.mapple.co.jp/mapple/product/guide/mapple/japan.html
Once is on your mouth is not that bad, Kyde, " is what she said" LOL
+Aguila59 HAha
I love you both so much :3
+RavenNight Hahaha. Thanks!
Honestly I do two things when I'm pissed off, I sing and or play Piano or I watch you guys' videos. I'm just going to say that I hate Aquariums and that's why I'm pissed off but besides that, great video once again I'm really enjoying Kyoto.
+lbonini1gaming Haha, what if we make a video about aquariums? -E
Well, I would probably explode.
But, it's not aquariums like the thing you go to to look at fish, I mean home aquariums! Lol
You guys may have mentioned this before, but where can I get your theme music?
+wontondestructxn They don't own the music, but they have a link in the description so you can listen the full song(you can download the video and make it a mp3 file ^^, like most of the people do, I guess)
+HongwareeChannel Thanks!
Kyde and Eric My pleasure.
That house was bad "for me". I wouldn't have enjoyed it at all. When I travel I like my place to be a part of my time where I can relax and enjoy some time in it. This house felt depressing for some reason!. Great video as usual though
go back to yokohama in bentendori I miss going there, the back of my picture is the landmark tower in yokohama hehe 😂😂
Around 25:05, did Eric say "Once it's in your mouth, it's not bad" or "Once it's in your mouth, it SNOT bad"?
Patron Bob
I like Kyde's naughty response.... "That is what she said."
PS: I did not catch the reference, the first time.
Hey are those 40:04 bamboo "don't urinate on the wall" thingys? They are really beautiful, but I think I heard that's what they might be for? Does anyone know?
+ozdoits I honestly don't know why they are there. My guess would be for decoration. I didn't think "don't urinate" when I looked at them. -Kyde
+Kyde and Eric I also wouldn't normally think such an odd thing as urination protection while looking at such lovely wooden things. Except that I heard that MAY be one reason they are put up in some areas of Japan! I really did! Another Jvlogger created a vlog that mentioned it. 😃 Maybe one day we'll learn the true facts - I hope so! Meanwhile, I'm happy to receive your reply😊 I'm a true fan 😊! Happy trails 🌈Kyde!
+ozdoits That rainbow was magical! -Kyde
Heart the crunch
I'm surprised people comment that you two eat a lot. For a man his height I feel like Eric really doesn't eat much at all. I'm always surprised with how small his meals are. My stepbrother is 6'7 and he eats probably 3X what Eric eats in a sitting. Keeping him fed was always a struggle for my mom while he lived at home. He went through a gallon of milk in 2-3 days, all on his own. No one else in the house drinks cow's milk. And my stepbrother isn't fat. Watching you two I've always been concerned that Eric doesn't eat enough.
+mandas677 Haha, I find it interesting how some people think we overeat and other people think we undereat, even though they see the same footage. But to be honest the videos don't show everything we do eat, and sometimes it appears we eat a lot in a video but in reality it will be 3 meals in a day separated by hours of walking around that doesn't come off properly once everything is edited. -Eric
Kyde and Eric That is funny. But I guess we all compare it to our own lives and what we're used to. My stepbrother and stepdad are both extremely tall and have huge appetites so I'm used to seeing men your height eat a ton of food. But if you're healthy with the amount you eat then it doesn't really matter what I'm used to seeing. Or if I'm surprised that you would feel full after what I would see as an amount of food that would make someone Kyde's size full, not your size. And like you said, we don't see every bite, you just show us the interesting bits. So we miss the pieces of toast/apple/whatever other boring food items you are eating throughout the day.
+mandas677 haha, if you want to see all the boring bits I eat I have the video for you! ua-cam.com/video/MHHL1fndERg/v-deo.html
Eric, may be it's a climbing wall in the bath?)) hahaha
+KOBA971 Haha, that's what I said when I first saw it! -E
the stairs to nowhere leads to a hidden room where a lil' boy hides in the day and crawls out at night to steal your food while you are sleeping :o
btw can you guys share this residence listing on airbnb?
+Andrew Ng The guy said he was going to be taking it off the airbnb thing because they had found a long term renter. -E
shucks. thank you anyway eric!
I can't help but wonder.. Do Japanese elderly ever have knee/back/hip trouble? Because sitting down so low & standing back up can prove difficult when you are no longer a spring chicken. :P but I guess with more modern homes, they have sofas & higher tables... I'm just wondering with more traditional homes like these.
I wonder if using the muscles in their legs and back keeps them strong.
Most space heaters have a switch on the bottom that will turn off the unit in case it falls over.
+Mike The Gamer Yea, but not if they get too close to something. I once melted a bathroom door. Hahaha. -E
Kyde and Eric Melted a door? WOW!
~Spectacular trip - and, video(s) ! Oh, K Y O T O : really, soooo cool...!!
you only cranked it eight times for the tub water
make a video how you sleep, are your feet outside ?
you have it hard.
have you ever grilled a fish in the fish griller?
+domziphone1 Yeah, I have! We're not big fish eaters though, so only a few times. -Kyde
+Kyde and Eric you can't just jam a squid in there? ?
+Kyde and Eric did I gear E right? ? he is 6'7?? they must think he is Godzilla In Japan
+domziphone1 *hear
There's no buffer zone for that toilet. There needs to be a buffer zone!
+Craig Chastain For real! -Eric
I wish that old lady in the video would have pulled out a some crazy moves or just haymaker the guy for trespassing. Alternatively I wish a dude in Bowser costumed have come out and tell him to leave in Japanese.
Oh My ....that bath tub ....:O
Love the shirt bruh.
+Thomas Valadez for sure
I'm with Eric. No way I'd eat those little fish!
+Ellen Brennan Yeah, they are creepy, right?
Yep.
+Ellen Brennan Me too. -Eric
Ha!
i like airbnb.... ^_^
can someone confirm, what i saw in a chinese shop here in montreal, canada
udon uncooked , looks like a thick tender white pasta?
ty
+Cristian Micu Yep, it can. -E
My wife and I are headed to Japan for the first time in October and we're not even looking at hotels! All AirBnB!
+Luis Girón I don't reacommend you that, specially if you don't speak japanese.
I disagree, I think it'll make an awesome experience. Most people using airbnb are foreigners, hosts will be prepared for non-Japanese speakers. -Eric
+HongwareeChannel Have you had a bad experience with an AirBnB in Japan?
+Kyde and Eric That's kind of what I thought! Most hosts write descriptions in English and seem to be perfectly competent at doing what they do!
oh my gosh, you had to show the massive plate of dogs!!!!!
what happen to "adventure" guys? go back to that Puzzy Room and show us whats in there. I heard its a mochi store.
+Sterling Archer Hahah
if you are in the bathroom, just say all the time, if someone is there , "it's not your business."
snotty side -Eric
Eric has been spoiled complaining about a non heated toilet seat !
+readyset For real. -E
Eric がお風呂に入る度に、頭にたんこぶが出来ないか心配だよ＞＜
日本の家は、あなた達にとっては小人仕様で、住みにくいよねきっと。ほんとにごめんね。
sorry. あと京都は盆地だから、冬はとても寒いよ。風邪引かないようにしてください。
あと、きなこは暖めた牛乳に溶かして飲んでも美味しいよ。体にもとてもいいの。
+Hirara Kotayama 笑！日本の家はちょっと狭いですが、今私たちは慣れます。大丈夫です！-E
