- When writer Matthew Treadwell was preparing for a trip to Japan with his wife, he anticipated an amazing travel experience. What he did not expect was a random act of kindness that would change his life. While visiting a quaint countryside village, Treadwell and his wife lost track of time. They realized too late that they had missed the last bus back to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. Amid pounding rain and increasing panic, the couple ran out of ideas. That’s when a friendly stranger stepped in to help and treated them to an experience they would never forget.

That old Japanese guy is a legend
Faith In Humanity Restored
you should go back to japan and see him once
I once got a lift from a guy in a Bentley, 400km from city, dirty from all the trekking and staying in tent. He said that back in USSR he got a lift from a committee member, from his village to Alma-Ata, which is a huge city today. He went to college there, and then moved his family from village to city. He said that sometimes, one lift is all you need to feel better and get yourself together
Not going to lie, I wish I could travel the world like this and meet new people and make friendships in the most unlikely places. This was such a nice story.
It's not only japan in every part of the world u can find such amazing people who make us believe in kindness humanity and happiness
Wow, I hope if you ever go back you will be able to find the bus stop and him. Well that along with an interpreter to help you out on the language barrier! So many times the people behind the scenes ARE the true reflection of a foreign county. It sounds like you had your own personal angel as a guide and rescuer!
I believe this story, since I experienced it myself. I got lost one time in Kamakura. I couldn’t find my way to the train station when I saw this old man and I asked him. Instead of telling me the direction, he walked me all the way to the station and that is around half an hour. Another experience was when I’m in the train to Narita airport. I don’t know which station should I get off to when this old man helped me. He came with me all the way to the airport and missing his station. Japanese are very helpful!
kindness isn't a word for this video. the Japanese man did more than just a kindness. respect to Nihon
The production level of this bite size vids is always fucking amazing.
このビデオがその人に届くといいな。日本人はお金より相手の気持ち 喜んでくれる顔を見たり思う気持ちが嬉しいから😊
Japanese are the best people, wonderful human beings , Every time they fall they rise up like a Sun, lightening the whole world rather than themselves. Fully determined to achieve goals and progress. They are an inspiration for all.
i don't know why, just teared up while listening to this story. what a wonderful story!
Japanese people very humble and kindness
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
I want to be like this guy , become a good person ❤️one day I will❤️🤗🤗
that elderly guy was so nice !!
They closed the cab door , do not do that in Japan , the door closes itself. Wonderful video.
Angels are hard to find in times of need. I do believe Japan and its people are wonderful human beings.
People is Japan is amazing. They are so hospitable!!! I had awesome experiences such as this in my 2 month stay there.
