*accidentally books love hotel with your platonic friend due to good price *
I don't know if it is like this anymore but when my best friend and I went to Japan 6 years ago we had a hard time getting into any of them because they wouldn't let two women stay in a room together. :(
“Accidentally”
@@UFOHunterNikki this surprising because in most of those, everything in it is either automated or the receptionist is behind a screen/curtain, just a pass where hands can go through and they can't see you and they don't directly talk to you.
How did they even know you were two women ? Are you sure it was a love hotel ??
*this love ain't gon' be platonic for long, boy.*
Well since we are here 🤨
Love hotel or escape room? You decide!
Why not both? It sure adds to the excitement /jk
“Let's play a game"

What’s a escape hotel
L C 🤣🤣🤣👍
It's_Wolfia Playz I don't know and don't want to find out!
Its channels like this that allow me to travel through Japan without actually doing it because I'm broke af. One day!!!
Get a job in Japan, two birds one stone.
Rasta Fonz you probably meant to be funny, but it isn’t funny at all. And you’re just dragging down all males with you bud.
True. I barely make ends meet.
If you're going by yourself, $3,000 should be enough for a decent stay. Which will equal out to saving less than $9 each day for a year.
Traveling to Japan is actually pretty cheap, ~$700 for a flight if you book far enough ahead and you can make it a couple weeks on less than $1000. Speaking from experience as I've done it twice from the US.
"For a relaxing time, make it ryokan time." Hehe, I see what you did there. Well played.
I don't get it? 😅
@@FiveOClockTea IT is a play on a quote from the movie Lost in Translation: "For relaxing times, make it Suntory time." czcams.com/video/FiQnH450hPM/video.html
@@FiveOClockTea czcams.com/video/XElQLXXyblk/video.html
@@LifeWhereImFrom &trekkeruss oooh, I see, thanks a lot 😊
I've only watched that movie once, and in german to boot, so I didn't even think of it 😄
Mr Bob Harris!!
I'd freak out a little if I could not open the door of my hotel room in a foreign country all by myself
My thoughts exactly. I saw the pods and immediately felt sick , what if I can't operate the doors and I'm stuck in that tiny space.
@@RITZYRUTHY The pods does not have a door. Just something you pull down to close and up to open.
Yeah that was freaky about not being able to open the door in the love hotel. I wonder what the logic of that is ? To stop people sneaking out without paying ?
@@TahitianBlissMeeBee there was a option to open the door from the inside in a emergency but otherwise you had to call to the front desk to request to open the door.
juandenz2008 the point of a love hotel is for privacy with you and your “mate”. That’s why you don’t see any workers there as you are there to be discreet. I think the point of the door being self locked is one reason of escaping without pay, but mainly for people to not enter so you are not bothered. I too think it’s weird though lol.
I just can’t get over how good your videos are. The HD quality, and the editing is absolutely outstanding! Keep up the good work!!
WilliMel Not long before he hits a well deserved 1m subs! 🎉
I agree. That's why 's sponsored by Audible. Well deserved.
For anyone traveling to Japan, you must consider a Ryokan at least once! I was a bit worried about staying in a Ryokan for the first time because of the public bathing and wearing gowns around the hotel but it ended up being an unforgettable part of our trip to Japan. I loved staying in a traditional room, eating a traditional Japanese breakfast and using the spa. The washrooms/spa is awkward at first but after a few minutes you quickly get used to it and it's a great place to chill out.
I don't know if you will see this comment, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for making these videos. Although my health would never allow it, it's my dream to visit Japan someday. Seeing your videos is a wonderful experience and let's me feel as if I am close to visiting as I can be. どうもありがとうございました
Me: Those minpaku look so charming.
Me: *sees giant spider* NEVERMIND.
He could have shown a healthy annoyed mukade :-)
You said you're keeping it PG but you mentioned to ask about group pricing for love hotels ;). I was cracking up when you said that and I'm sure it wasn't intentional.
My intent was actually to just be aware that unlike regular hotels, you may not be able to just have friends drop by. Or say you're with a group of buddies and need a place to crash because the trains stopped running, you might not be allowed all into a single room.
@@LifeWhereImFrom I had figured that was what you meant. It still didn't keep my mind from running into the gutter and cracking up though.
The group pricing is useful when you want to hold a party. Love Hotels are evolving, it is not just for what you are thinking. Girls are the ones who usually use it for parties. Especially when you go for those themed ones. It is far more cheaper than booking a restaurant or a event hall.
That's actually 100% PG....to mention a love hotel is not openly talking about sexual content XD love hotels are used for a variety of reasons.
Matando do you know what your user name means in spanish
i hope it is not intentional
The quality of this video is insane, it's hard to believe that I can watch it for free. It seems like one of those videos contracted by a travel agency or something.
Also, how has the "minpaku law" affected the price and availability of Airbnbs?
As someone saving to travel to japan for a rather long holiday I am just thrilled by the quality of your videos. Thank you for the helpful, well spoken information.
Your description of Ryokan as the destination is SO spot on. I went to Kurokawa and stayed at Yamabiko Ryokan and it was such an amazing experience.
Oh wow this is so interesting. I really want to try a capsule hotel once. But the ryokan looks like exactly what a perfect family getaway should be. Side note, a lot of people have been mentioning how much I know about Japanese life recently, only because it comes up so often in conversation with me...only because I watch all your videos lol
I lived in Japan for 10+ years, so watching your channel always makes me feel 懐かしい. You do a nice job.
This is by far the best way to understand things...believe me.. . Your way of explaining as well as editing the vedio is on a whole different level
This was a very interesting presentation. I have yet to spend any appreciable time in Japan (passing through airports on my way to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, etc.) but I REALLY want to explore Japan. The more of your vids I watch, the greater my cultural understanding appreciates. I am grateful for your efforts. Thank you.
I really appreciate your inclusion of accessible options in your videos. I use a wheelchair, and it can be difficult to find general accessibility information when planning a trip, but I've found many of your videos very helpful, thank you.
We stayed in a Minpaku, Minshuku, and Ryokan during our trip. It feels really authentic and our hosts were nice. They even hugged us and gave us souvenirs during our check-out. 💕
Honestly, I think this is one of your best. This one departs from aspects of much of your content in a subtle but recognizable manner and, from my individual perspective, totally works.
Canadian: let’s see if that’s real maple syrup
*IT WASNT*
I’ve been preparing to go to Japan for years because of this man right here
I was born and raised in Japan and I find what he says mostly right on. Well done 😀
I enjoyed how engaging and humourous this episode was! Well done, interesting indeed
The Pro and Con pictures KILL ME.😂 I just have to share how much I enjoy this channel! I feel prepared to go to Japan! Hopefully soon!
I just rediscovered this video and made me reminisce about our first trip to Japan and we didn't realized our hotel is a.. Love Hotel. It was private, chic, spacious, and frankly-speaking, becoming more family friendly. When we booked the hotel for 3 nights, it was very cheap (a plus for us), the bathrooms are spacious, the bathtub/jacuzzi can fit like 4-5 people! The toiletries and towels are a lot, as well as pillows. I can't complain. There was even a pachinko machine at the corner, and the television shows even got those karaoke channels. Then we started noticing some unusual stuff like 2 undercounter fridge for drinks and snacks, and a separate counter for edible underwear, a vibrator/massage hand gadget covered in plastic (for hygiene purposes), a brand new fancy feather (again covered in plastic to keep it clean before use), and the multi-colored lights inside the bathroom that has its own TV and adult channels with blurred private parts. :P
all in all, still an interesting experience.
Oh my God!! The Ryokan you stayed in was the one I stayed the second night of a study abroad program before classes actually started! Amazing place with an amazing onsen
I’m really sick and currently binging all your videos. So interesting! I’d love to learn basic Japanese and visit with my family. It seems like an incredible place. I also love learning the rules. The one I loved the most so far was the school lunch video. This should be standard world wide!
Honestly your videos are so good and informative! Can’t wait to see more from you! 👌
Love the quality and content of your videos. Detailed and explained very well. Thank for the info! 🤩🤩
So glad to hear one of your favourite CZcamsrs mention another one of your favourite CZcamsrs. The vlogbrothers are the reason I started watching dedicated youtube channels and not just random cat videos :)
Another great quality video. I am looking forward for more and keep up the good work.
Greg, I love your video style. Keep it up man!
Dude, that capsule hotel in the shotengai near Okayama station is literally my favourite capsule hotel. Sad now to think that i actually have a favourite one, but i had some wonderful nostalgia kick in when i saw it here.
Still my favourite capsule hotel in Japan. When I went there last year it was the same price as it was when I was there in Okayama in 2004.
Okayama... you are a wonderful place to call home.
Thank you for your hard work at putting this together, the editing style is amazing!
I love the airplane window view shots before the pros and cons
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I would love to visit Japan it is such a beautiful place with beautiful people and customs.
I always respect creator with full informative long videos with few ads by watch all ads.
Enjoy watching your videos! Love Japan. I just came back and I can't wait to go back!
Very informative video. The pros and cons were a great summary 😊
Thank u for filling youtube with amazing quality content!

Thanks for the relaxing transitions. They're all I needed.
Wow! this was super helpful for me as I'm doing a business assignment at the moment where I have to plan a family trip to Japan for under $10,000 AUD. Thank you again for another awesome video :)
Love love japan ....everything almost so perfect... so much to learn from them
Thanks for the video! Helps me reminisce the times when I try various types of Japanese accommodations. I'm yet to experience staying at love hotels, but someday I will try for sure XD
I really enjoyed this video! Very informative and the B-roll gave it a nice touch
I love this video, so insightful with scenic views inserted. Definitely want to stay in a ryokan one day.
Great video, I just got back from Japan and stayed at the first cabin capsule hotels, they are so awesome and very affordable next time I travel there alone I will be stay there for sure.
gone through soooo many japan hotell vids and this one is the most helpful i've ever come across! thank you!
I think you should try more hostels. They have been very kind to me in my time in Japan. With a mix from repurposed homes to dedicated capsule hotel accommodations all from different hostels. The owners are always very friendly and try to make small talk, it ends up being very good for a tourist as well.
An absolutely excellent video! Very informing :) will use this well to plan my trip to Japan.
I've mainly used Airbnb in Japan. They're all good enough for casual travelers if you just pick one with high rated reviews and host.
Capsule hotel and ryokan were cool too. Might as well tried them all to experience it since you're already there.
This video is great and informative! I am planning to travel to Japan in the near future and this really helps my planning to get an affordable but still provides a Japan-ish atmosphere.
I love booking air bnbs when we go anywhere. Gives us a look into life there and our first stop is the supermarkets. It's a good learning experience and I get snacks and can cook.
Ngl that hostel looks nice for the 3 of us.
I enjoy all the videos you make! This was very informative.
Wonderful timing with this video - right before my trip to japan next month, thank you!
Duuuude this is the info and clarification I need thank you. Planning to spend a month in Japan in 2020 and I gotta do it dirt cheap so thanks for the tips
I'm going back to Japan in April! I'm glad to see some more options for that trip. Thanks for sharing!
I stayed in a business hotel for my first (and soon to be second) trip to Japan. Yes, they're tiny, but they can be cheap if you shop around and you get some privacy. If your a solo traveller like me, they have everythng you need, privacy (with your own bathroom) and some have their own onsens. I try to choose mine based on distance to the train stations, so it makes commuting easy.
Such an amazing and complete video. I love it!
10:03 I think this is my favorite type of air refreshener hanging around 😁👌
LOL Shin for the Cons.. Loved how your Kids were the Mascots for the Pros and Cons lol!!!
Very informative video! Awesome page as always ☺️☺️
Loved your commentary and transitions in this video. Thank you so much for your hard work and excellence in making these videos.
BEST. TRANSITIONS. EVER.
;D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Excellent information. Very well done with video examples of the types of places and good description. Very helpful for my next trip to Japan.
Ha! I used to work in that Ryokan way back in 1992. It's in Kinugawa Onsen, Tochigi. Fun times.
I loved the b-roll scenes.. so picturesque!
thanks so much for this video, so great to see different accommodations. Ironically, we live in Las Vegas and are traveling to Japan next year.
I just love your videos.... so thorough..... and I’m just getting started
wow you went all out making this one
I enjoyed the senic breaks of rice fields and koi fish between sections of your video.
Love the quality of your videos!
This episode is very informative. I have plan to visit Japan in the future and this one help me a lot. Thanks!
Wow, nice video! I actually stayed at that exact hostel when I was in Japan this past summer. I was shocked to see it in your video!
Cool, a lot of good info to refer back to when I travel there. I think that I like that one that's "the destination". Places to stay elsewhere depend a lot where you're at, but I found the cheaper the hotel the more they're willing to give you in food and freebies, and the more expensive and luxurious the more they're going to charge you for everything like expensive coffee and so on
Just ran across your channel but had to say your videos are remarkably well made
Another great video. Thank you for sharing Greg.
Thank you for much. Very informative. Never have it ever crossed my mind to try a love hotel. And i never expect that they are so nice! I always imagine that they are dodgy, poor-lit, Yakuza-operated, and less hygienic areas. Great review. Beautiful family!
I love how nice Japanese hotel is. So dramatic!
Toyoko Inn ! My favorite !! I think it is a great option for people looking for affordable accommodation in metropolitan areas. If they still allow smoking in some rooms, just make sure you book a non-smoking room (if you are a non-smoker).
I really enjoyed that former dormitory :) Something about its visual style appeals to me. Thank you so much for this video, it was very informative. I have only stayed in a capsule hotel in Tokyo before, and only until I got accommodation over in Nagoya. (Lovely 18m2 flat)
Oh hey, and I was just going to Japan in December!
kero perfect timing then! Our videos will provide you with tips/guides on things to do so check them out 👌
The opening scene was funny 😂 Another great video!
Can't lie, those love hotels seem like a pretty sweet spot to stay at!
4:56 love the french translation, very funny. I had to read to other langages to understand the full meaning. Charmant!
that pros and cons photo is awesome
I love your videos u motivate me! I get so moved watching your videos
What a wonderful, interesting video. Thanks so much for your creative, thoughtful, and enjoyable "home movie"..
great informative vid, thanks! you should put up a price range for each type of accomodation, when you sometimes circle or highlight signage for pricing or features, its completelyin japanese, which i would imagine not everyone can read lol.
Make a video like this must give a really hard work, congratulations ❤
please make a video about universitys on Japan!!
Love your videos man please keep posting :)
your videos are always amazing!
I have no real reason to, but I just subbed to your channel. Cant get enough of this
6:31 ASMR, so soothing tbh, even if it was short. 😭
Just discovered your channel, and am very much enjoying your videos and style. Thanks.
Great video with enough information to decision making
Love the Japanese way of life and there deepsoak baths I just installed one here in northern Ireland
Wow, you totally beat us on making this video. We were planning to do the same topic xD I stay in an AirBNB and it's super affordable compared to many countries that I've been to. Tokyo is cheaper than Seattle at the moment.
IMO Tokyo's dirt cheap compared to many (most?) major cities in the US, much less Seattle (the price for 1BRs in downtown Seattle are pushing $3K+). Average meal prices for eating out for low-mid end dining is 2-3X as well. I'm always struck by how many great low-cost options to eat out that Japan (and most Asian countries, honestly) have vs the US.
@@lhl definitely. Even fast food here is good quality. I had Karage last night with a big bowl of rice and miso for 600 yen. And the quality is so much better than anything in the US at that price range.
