Only yesterday, as i am cycling through Japan (inspired by your own cycle trip) i was heading out of Kyoto towards Otsu, Lake Biwa. A Japanese lady approached me at a Family Mart, asked if i was touring around. I explained i was, and she gifted me with a drink, Barley Tea, and wished me luck. I thanked her for her gift, and we parted ways.

When I flew to Japan from Tokyo from Toronto, I stayed up through the flight, fighting sleep all the way. First trip I had to get to Yokohama, second I stayed near Asukasa. I found if I went to bed in the hotel round 9 or 10 pm local time, I would wake up on Japan time with no issues adjusting. Coming home however was a different matter. Lol. But I’ve passed that tip to a few other people I’ve spoken with from the US and they have all said the found the same. No jet lag until they got home.

Banning drinking in the streets is good not only for local but tourist as well, who wants to walk passed other people drinking. I was in Shinjuku Park for the Cherry blossom earlier this year where there no alcohol or smoking, no ball games except for very young children, plus as the time of year no running, this helped create a lovely atmosphere for families and visitors alike.

Just back from Amsterdam, they've had to do similar with public drinking, and even no public spliffs either! I grew up in Edinburgh, I used to evac every August to escape the utter hell of the Festival, so I get it. Being Scottish, it's not been the done thing for a long time so it's second nature to finish your drink, or leave it, before you exit a bar. I totally understand that. No bikes on trains though, now that one is odd as a European generally, though Eurostar has similar restrictions between London and Brussels, and to take one to France it has to be dissasembled and bagged.

Few extra tips for Tony, speaking as someone who has been in Japan with 7 family members. xD Get everyone a SIM card for them to use with their own smartphones - do not get the Pocket Wi-fi thing. Easy for everyone to have a way of contacting others without having to rely on extra devices. It will have Internet access only, so chose your messaging platform of choice, gather everyone in a group, and there you go. On taxis, you can often - particularly in bigger cities - ask for small vans or bigger vehicles to reduce the spread... xD They are generally more expensive but not much when you are splitting the bill. Do not forget about the Yamato luggage transport thing from airport to hotel... the one with the two black cats. You don't want to be walking around with tons of luggage in large groups like those. Have everyone carrying with themselves at all times a card with the address of the hotel where you are staying both in your own language and in Japanese. Oh, and also passports. And a bit of cash on hand. If someone gets lost from the group, which can happen in crowded tourist spots, or the group just splits to go to different places in a given day, this is mostly what everyone needs.

Oh, agreed with Chris tips. Other than famires, depending on where you stay you can also check if hotel restaurants accepts non-guests. Some of them do, and they are generally good with a big variety of things to eat. Our group ate several days at Saizeria, but I remember we went a couple of days to some hotel from the Accor chain for a late breakfast. We had to contact them beforehand though.

Of course I'm upset at the situation but I kinda accepted a couple months ago that I wasn't gonna be able to go. Regardless, what's something that always seems to cheer you two up? I'll be nursing any worries I have on Taskmaster later but I'm up for your suggestions. Love the videos and the podcast keeps me focused and sane while I'm in the shower. Also if you need a laugh, I fell while bowling a few weeks ago. I struck a pose to play it off but my limp and sore butt for 3-4 days clearly gave my physical state away.

I disagree that the drinking on the streets ban is about tourists. Drinking on the streets has always been an issue. I actually welcome the change. There are lots of Izakaya and bars around Shibuya if they want to get pissed. As for bins, I've seen them filled to the brim when you go further up to Omotesando towards Harajuku. This was pre pandemic and the tourist boom. I don't think bins would be suffice to address the issue either. I think there is just too many people in the area, and I'm not talking about tourists.

Her action would've been fine, if she didn't escalate or antagonize anyone and didn't use vigilante as a poor excuse for ill manners to look for fights. Sad part is people want to learn about the culture and manners. Wish the guide tried to walk from the situation more, I wonder if he tried telling the group not the ring the bell too loud? Telling her to speak in english was a bad move. This is quite an unfortunate situation. Also I agree with Chris & Pete, both sides can be sympathized with.

My understanding is that the woman was using very offensive language in Japanese which is why the tour guide asked her to speak english. He wanted her rudeness exposed. Add in that you refer to her as some kind of anti tourist vigilante it sounds like she goes around behaving like this. Just because someone in the group may have rung a bell they weren't supposed to, or rung it too loudly apparently, is no excuse to start carrying on and being vulgar towards people. I wonder if she waits around for a tourist to make a mistake so she can make a scene. The tour guide told her off as she deserved to be, it would be one thing if she was polite in her complaints but she decided to freak out. Sounds like she was far more in the wrong than he was. The incident seems like it is just an opportunity for those in Japan that don't like tourists to point to ill behavior by tourists, even though it was the woman who provoked the situation by being rude and aggressive.

No. Her Twitter page has the background, and she first explained using google translate on her phone as well as Japanese, and told them to stop the act. (This is her version of events, so I don't know if it is correct.) Everything from here on is from the video. In her video, she says to the guide in Japanese, "You didn't tell the tour guests about this in English, so they don't know why they were warned, right?" I said to her. And it was the guide who asked the Japanese to speak English. Isn't that strange? The guide has lived in Japan for 8 years, is married to a Japanese woman, and understands and speaks Japanese. And he asked the Japanese woman to speak English, even though he was speaking in Japanese with her. Do you think it is right for a guide to point out a tourist's mistake and not communicate it? This incident ultimately led to the identification of this guide's company, but even before this incident, he had been introduced as a bad guide. Now, is it better to keep quiet when there is a guide who is usually inappropriate, and when you point it out to him or her, he or she pretends to be unaware of the situation and does not tell the tour guests about it. Hate tourists? No, I just hate tourists who can't behave, and it's this guide who is inappropriate, no matter how you look at it. By the way, this is the only bad word from the Japanese woman in the middle of the first part of the video, and no other words are offensive. In the conversation that follows, the guide is consistently telling us to treat the bell with respect, but continues to pretend not to know. Guide 「"You are being very rude.Leave us alone."」 Japanese woman 「"いやrudeはお前や(No. rude is you)"」 Japanese woman 「"理解してるやん大事に扱えって言ってるの(You understand the language. Please treat things with care)"」 (This is both said emotionally, but the language is just a regional dialect, and for those who live there, it's the common Kansai dialect.) Guide 「"うるせえお前 黙っとけ。まじでうるさいなお前(Shut your mouth. Shut up, you. Shut up. Seriously, shut the fuck up).」 Guide 「"do you understand this? I have no idea what's goin on."」 (This is speaking to the tourists.) Before this conversation, the tour group kept saying "Enough" and "Get out of my sight," and it was only after the guide asked the Japanese woman to speak English that things started to get worse. No matter how you look at it, it was the tour group and the tour guide who made this mess worse in the first place. It's all there in the video rather than my words, and from the point of view of someone who understands both languages, the guide is clearly pretending not to know, which is too bad. There are a few translated videos out there, too.

@@noxnox7445 So she did use rude language then? One must wonder what she said before she started recording. The video makes it clear the woman is following the group and being extremely angry, once again provoking the confrontation. You say she's being "emotional," I say that's you trying to make excuses for her poor behavior. If someone is following you around and being loud and angry at you, as she was, it is no wonder the guide told her to get lost. They rang a bell too hard and they had already moved on and the tourist had apologized for doing so, at that point she is just harassing them, there is no excuse for her own poor behavior. If she had just let them know what they did wrong, did not swear and did not become loud and angry there would have been no confrontation. You say the guide "was pretending not to know," I say he was trying to move on from an irate person who was harassing his group and after being followed understandably told her off. I notice you avoid talking about how she has a history of confronting tourists. It seems like this is a pattern with her which is no doubt why this situation escalated, she wanted to provoke a confrontation and she did.

@@noxnox7445 I have watched the video. You are watching an edited version of the video if you don't think the woman who rang the bell apologized, she did, although in English because she didn't speak Japanese. To expect her to know to apologize to the shrine is a totally unrealistic expectation. So conveniently the apology she gave isn't good enough so it's another excuse to be followed by an angry person. It's very telling that the video you watched seems to have left out the part where the tourist did apologize, seems like it was edited to provoke more controversy, and it has. And once again you're dodging the fact that this woman has a history of confronting tourists. You want to warp the situation so an angry, loud woman who is following people that are trying to leave can't possibly be to blame when her poor behavior is what provoked the guide to snap at her to leave them alone. I don't misunderstand anything, you follow someone and are being aggressive you might get told in no uncertain terms to go away, that goes for any country. You say you aren't defending her or making excuses when that is all you're doing. According to you it's all the tour guide and the tourists fault and no blame for the person following them and being loud and aggressive, that's ridiculous.

Didn't even know about My Immortal or Going Under. Chris has uncommon taste in music, don't take it personally. I am trying not to hold it against him as well.

I one bringing my bicycle into a train (futsu ressha) from shizuoka station to numazu station (not that far actually, still within shizuoka prefecture). But I did follow the written and unwritten rules. written rule: you must disassamble the bicycle and put it in a specified bag or case. Bringing a foldable bike is super easy because you don't need to disassemble anything, just fold. unwritten rule: ride in a non rush hour, like really early morning (4-6 am) or late night (over 9pm). Doesn't matter how clean the packing is, people will stare at you because of you bringing pretty big stuff😢.

Hello cyclops Chris and puny Pete! I finished watching the BBC series Race across the world recently series 4 to be precice. (Highly recommend it btw) And the 4 series saw, a group 5 couples backpacking it from Sapporo, Hokkaido to Gili Meno in Lombok Indonesia only with the, budget of £1,390 to get by with, and to complete the 15,000km journey to progress through japan the contestants were told they were not allowed to use the Bullet train at all. But still despite all the trials and tribulations the show went through it was a very fun and enjoyable experience and but looked very gruelling & exciting for all involved. But in relation to the show my question to you is, is it relatively easy to backpack across japan on a limited or almost shoe string budget, and explore the country, with or without the use of the speedy Bullet train? And how easy is it for foreigners to pick up local work and find accommodation? Love the podcast guys been listing since day dot of its release! Love to you Chris & Pete.

My late-night stroll through Shibuya last summer wasn't my first, but it felt different this time. It was teetering on the edge of chaos, in large part due to drunks staggering into the street at every turn. So...yeah, I find this ban to be understandable.

Tom Green got away with pretty "rude" pranks when he filmed Subway Monkey Hour in Japan back in 2002. That was before social media of course, so the Japanese public never found out.

I remember watching on NHK one time where they had a show where a guy had to take his bike apart at every station and bag it up before boarding the train. It seems ridiculous seeing someone having to take off the wheels and bag up a bike just to assemble it a while later but I guess I can understand that bikes do take up a lot of space on a train.

In my city, if you have a bike at peak hour on the train, you must purchase a ticket for it. This then flows down the line data wise to inform the service it needs extra trains or services.

In Netherlands we have bikes we can vault up so they fit next to a seat in the train hallway or up in the bagage storage

Yes, and Creed and Creedence Clearwater Revival aren’t the same band, and box office numbers actually do matter for movies these days. Chris isn’t just affable, he’s also fallible.

No, Amy Lee isn't down to be the lead. The lead was ALWAYS Mike (much as I hate him for his Web3 Techbro Crypto/NFT/AI addiction). Chester was a co-lead of sorts during his tenure, but he was never THE lead. Amy Lee has nothing to do with Linkin Park at the moment, although she did say she was interested. Shows how old these episodes are, Amy Lee shot these rumours down in late APRIL. Lee has made it clear she hasn't the time to do anything like that at the moment. 20:23 - Eh, I don't see why so many of these video vigilantes get away with doing this kind of thing, she obviously intentionally antagonised the guy for clicks because she knew she could (due to how tourists are being blamed for everything now, even though there's a LOT of local people who are problematic too - for example, the Shibuya drinking problem is mostly a local issue, not tourists).

Hi guys I am enjoying your banter. Having worked in science I have had the pleasure of working with Japanese postdoctoral scientists. One Japanese guy would always say”Shimata” and I asked him what it meant. He said it meant I have error. A few years later I worked with another Japanese scientist and told me what it really meant “Oh Shit”. 😊

Ya know, as a Canadian I had to think about the drinking ban a bit. I just got back from Europe and I was *shocked* to see people just crack open a beer on the street, like everywhere (UK and Germany at least). It wasn't super common but the fact that I saw it at all - It's completely illegal where I'm from so no one does it. As such, Japan banning it didn't really seem like news to me, but if you're used to, well, Japan before, or it seems a lot of Europe, I can see why.

Don't worry, Australia isn't really like Mad Max there are a lot more spiders who like to surprise you and snakes who love to give you a big hug. If you hear barking during the night not to worry its just the crocodiles.
