@1:39 This "Blue Zone" nonsense has been thoroughly debunked. Most of those 100+ year old people died 20 year ago, and their families are defrauding the pension system by hiding that fact. ....sorry for the rant...

Okinawa does look awesome!

Great video. By the way, your understanding of Buddhism is wrong.

00:00 Intro

00:31 Shinkansen Bullet Train

I am Japanese. I was watching this video with someone since they have never been to Japan. I want to point out that you guys need to put a bit more effort into pronouncing city and area names accurately. I do not expect a non-Japanese person to pronounce our city names perfectly, but you totally messed up so many. When you are supposedly making a travel guide video, you should put a bit more effort into it.

00:52 Mt. Fuji

1:14 Okinawa

It’s Osaka, not osAka, it’s kObe, not kobE, it’s hirOshima, not hiroshIma. Can you learn at least one name of the city you talk about jeez. Maybe you call London as londOn?

1:57 Kyoto

3:04 Osaka

Sweden? really? good for saunas? you need to go to Sweden to corroborate (and correct) your video :)

I would rather visit other countries!!!
Only Mt Fuji is impressive. Other than that nothing impresses me.

7:48 Nara

8:38 Hiroshima

Love the video , But I do have one question, I am going to the Northern Half of Honshu (Tohuku region) for two years and I did not see anything from that region in the video.

Is that region lame or did you just not go to it??

— @Stockton-24ms

8:59 Miyajima

Love Japan - great video

Sanae Takaicki does not think textbooks should say the Japanese military invaded China, Korea, Thailand partial ally, India partial ally, Tawain, Hawaii, Darwin, Australia, Alaska, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Loas, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, the Philippines, Indonesia, Guam, Wake Island, and New Guinea during WW2. Sanae Takaicki thinks textbooks should meantion Comfort Women and slaves less. Sanae Takaicki does not approve of the Murayama Apology, or Kono Apology. The Murayama Cabinet Coalition was 6 Socialists and 13 Liberal Democrats. Murayama's Apology was not approved by the Liberal Democrat Cabinet. Murayama was blocked from apologizing for the Japanese military invasion of Korea by the Liberal Democrat Cabinet. Murayama was blocked from making a memorial for non Japanese victims of WW2 by the Liberal Democrat Cabinet. Many Liberal Democrat politicians still do not approve of the Murayama Apology, or Kono Apology. Ishiba Shigeru 's Apology was not approved by the Liberal Democrat Cabinet. If a Japanese politician did apologize to each location the Japanese military invaded the Liberal Democrat Cabinet would not Approve the Apology.

Great tips! You really butchered a lot of those Japanese words but great advice on things to see!

The Shinkansen line from Tokyo north does not extend all the way to Sapporo.

The final stop is Hakodate, the southernmost point of Hokkaido.

The line to Sapporo is scheduled for 2031, and the fastest train between Tokyo and Sapporo is expected to take around four hours.

3 Facts about Japan 🗾
1. Home to the World’s Oldest Company

Japan is home to Kongo Gumi, the world’s oldest company, founded in 578 AD. It specialized in building Buddhist temples and operated continuously for over 1,400 years before merging with another company in 2006.

2. Vending Machines for Everything

Japan has over 5 million vending machines, offering not just drinks and snacks, but also items like umbrellas, fresh eggs, ties, and even hot meals, reflecting the country’s love for convenience and innovation.

3. High Life Expectancy

Japan has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, with an average of 84 years. This is attributed to a healthy diet, active lifestyles, and excellent healthcare systems. It also has the most centenarians (people aged 100 or older) per capita.
