- It can be quite hard for a Tokyo family to escape the immediate area around Tokyo. But if you can, there’s so much to see!
Thanks to ものべがわDMO for sponsoring the video. For more info on places you can visit please go to bit.ly/2Ot9INE. To read about a one day family trip you can take, check out the Tokyo Creative NEWS article bit.ly/2PDrTwp.

Watching Ai and Shin grow up really makes me want to be young again. They're growing up to be beautiful people
I thought the exact same thing going back and watching older videos in which they appear.
I am litterely watching Shin and Aiko Grow! 💜😍
They're a delight to watch.
Yeah, they get real big, y'all!
I was thinking the same. They are growing so fast. Lovely children.
Same
I was thinking the same thing! so precious.
“for some reason they decided to give shin a sword” 😂 your family is amazing!
"again"
😂😂😂😂😂
"Lets go to Starbucks" 😂
Terrific program, family is cute Knowledgeable, interested in their culture,or anything for the matter. Love Dads voice & the way he talks to them.😊
What I make out of it is that "the boys" are always treated like that! 😂
_“we’re tired like fighting people, so like, let’s go to starbucks”_
me too aiko, me too.
"they had starbucks 400 years ago"
Omgggg i have seen you in many comment sections !!!🤠
Ah Starbucks, where even the worst enemies can set aside their differences and watch funny cat videos via free WiFi while sipping down a mocha latte!
@@ShaferHart We did have cafés longer than 400 years ago in the Middle East since coffee was invented here, but yeah not Japan.
i bet it had free internet as well
I cracked up when Greg said "for some reason they gave Shin a sword" 😂 Shin's antics never disappoint me
What really strikes me about these videos that feature Aiko and Shin in particular is the richness of experience that you, Greg, are providing them.The international travel, the local travel experiences, the bilingual upbringing, and just the amount of time to be in their lives is heartening. You are a great dad! Oh, and we get out of our town because our dog makes us take her for rides in the car on weekends, so we have driven every street in our county and the six surrounding ones as well. Because of her, we have seen so many wonderful nearby sites that are overlooked, and we appreciate her for it.
I like that the man's voice started off normal and then transitioned into a demon.
Shaiba aa lmao xD
The normal voice was the wife's voice XD
Oh, it's the wife's voice, I thought that was the man's normal voice lololol
i’m pretty sure he altered their voices so that’s why the wife’s voice sounds like a normal mans voice lmaoo and the husbands voice sound really deep
@Memeorandum of Understanding the first voice was Aiko's voice.
The best thing of this whole video, chicken wearing diapers!
Shows the Japanese's attention to detail and cleanliness..
Yes, that's the very first time I saw it too.
I laugh a Lot on it, ;D
Thanks for shooting it
First time seeing it, but, I guess, this is how they raise those chicken that goes to make chicken sashimi. And, no, I didn't write that wrong, chicken is really something that is served raw in Japan in very specific places. I guess, making sure the chicken is 100 % clean at all times is part of how they do it (the issue with chicken is bacteria on the outside, not in the meat itself).
@FlowerofDissolution I'm sorry, but I think you're wrong. Those diapers are just sold for pet birds. It's around 3000yen.
Hehe
They aren’t diapers. Good lord 😂 It’s a pouch that sits under the cloaca that catches the eggs for free range chickens. That way you don’t have to search your entire property for the eggs and end up with rotten ones exploding in the summer heat or accidentally gathering old eggs when you’re looking for newer/fresh eggs. It just so happens that the cloaca is also where they’re waste is expelled...both solid and liquid waste. One hole = all bodily functions
This is exactly like watching a local japanese morning daily variety show. Someone get an agent for this crew quick!
A very inspirational RUclips channel! We hope to grow as big as this channel!
"How's Mommy?"
"Mommy's freaking out."
LOLOLOL! Poor Mommy! I would not be down for that cave either.
Shin’s awkward left-handedness made me chuckle, that was my whole life story as a child! It took me till 6th grade to learn how to shake hands with other people among other things lol. I wonder if it’s more or less inconvenient for him to write in Japanese than in English?
Katsyay it is. Japanese writing is meant to be done using the right hand. it is more difficult to use the left
I never had that issue. For me being left-handed was always an afterthought. I even used right-handed scissors with my left hand and never really paid any attention to it. I also use the mouse with my right hand, etc. Some people are surprised when they see me do that even though I'm left handed lol.
@@qqnxj712 but when writing right to left, that's good for the left hand so it wont smear constantly
You know, a lot of your videos are starting to remind me of those old PBS kids tours of other places shows that would appear after Mr. Rogers, or something, lol. You're doing a great job, and your videos are highly informative, and have a huge nostalgia factor for me in the format you present the video. Thank you! lol
Thanks
Jake D they aare a mess I love it.
I personally went to the Kochi, Kami City for a short school exchange and it was an amazing place far different from my impression of Japan from TV shows! If you do go there, be sure to participate in the Yosakoi Festival during the August period in Kochi City, it is really unforgettable!
As for Shin's left-handedness causing his awkward sword handling ability ... ambidexterity can be increase by learning the piano (or a martial art ... or both).
I'm not saying that one is better or worse than the other. My comment was based on my observation of Shin struggling to handle the sword(s).
They should just supply left handed swords. .. rofl 😄
Or get RSI in one hand an be forced to learn to use the other when using a mouse. And teach yourself to write with that hand too....it's not that hard :P That's what I did....but I wouldn't recommend the first bit...
I also miss to see any problem, he just grabs the thing in different way thats all.
I don't know why, but when I see this video, I feel so happy. You have great family. And your kids are beautiful and really have good manner and behaviour. Thank you for making this video. Please say Hi from indonesia to your lovely family :)
Great video. As you said, Japanese consider their coworkers and their overall workload before taking time off. So, I find it strangely amusing that your friend with the disguised voice and blurred image sounds like he's in the witness protection program when talking about vacation lol.
Andy Chan hahahahahaha
He might have taken monday of too and now he is hunted by Ninjas hired by his coworkers.
Lol
I think that is great people consider others but also lame in some areas. I get vacation I'm going to take it and expect my coworkers to do the same. It has been proven that over working and not taking vacation does not lead to more efficiency but less. Japanese do need to get over that just a little. I guess there is no perfect culture in the world. In Latin America folks don't consider anybody. Electrician says he'll be there at 12:00 and he shows up at 2 the next day. But people are less stressed and more relaxed in life. Japan everything works and folks are considerate. If they say 1:00 they will be at your door at 12:50. Latin America being on time and early for a party is considered rude. Cultures are the funniest thing.
Americans don't take vacation often either. We get less time than most countries...but for me I don't care about the company. I'm their worker and they are my paycheck. I remember when they would need me to work overtime or not take vacation...I'd take it anyways. I control me. Job doesn't control me. Proud of never working overtime my whole life but still being a great worker.
People Outside of Japan will NEVER get it ... the selfishness and arrogance is too much
5:25 ahhhhh the siblings love
Jude Lau 😂 that was funny lol
Ha, ha, ha...!!! Is that what it was...? 😲 🤔
Jude Lau a
how is mommy? freaking out😂 I really like your kids!
Nice vid, i feel like im visiting Japan for free... Thnx.. 😊
That is one amazing train. Never seen one with a balcony before!
Lol that was hilarious “shin I demand you to attack”
They have grown up so much 😭 it's like watching your kids grow up. Seeing your videos makes me feel like a part of your family. Keep making awesome videos and prayers for your family ❤
Our little girl is growing up
Yea,she sounds so different.
Never bored with this channel, always interesting
I am just here to say thanks for your videos. Love every single one of them.
And it is very nice to see Aiko and Shin again.
16:09 Shin: Mommy can I have a bat as a pet?
Mommy: No thank you 😂😂🤣
Shin : I really want a picture with a bat 😂
Me: Get him a bat 😂😂
Batman and Shin
that's not funny
Coroanavirus 🥽🥽 came from a bat 🧤🧤
This didn't age well
Your videos and family are a breath of fresh air. Thank you.
"And how's mummy?"
"Mummy's freaking out."
Wow such concern in her voice lol
This video is so chilled out and relaxing...it’s brilliant.
I think Aiko's English has improved!! Awesome to see her and Shin grow up so quickly
Watching this is just so soothing and peaceful. It makes me appreciate the wonderful childhood I have had, and I am simultaneously learning so many interesting things about Japan. This is just so refreshing to watch. God bless you guys!
Those videos in family always makes my day better, it’s so pure, chill, simple and relaxing 💙 sending you lots of love from Paris
Very qualitative content about the Japanese culture, nice and friendly people. I like this kind of videos so i subscribed
As soon as i saw you guys upload i dropped everything i had and clicked on it as fast i could. Your videos are amazing!! keep up the amazing work guys, and i cant wait to see your future videos coming up :)
Love your vids Greg. Such high production quality and always interesting to watch. It warms my heart to see how much Shin & Aiko had grown. Keep it up!
You are a terrific parent to a wonderful, bright, loving family. The positive family and societal influence that you promote is admirable and much needed. You and your family are truly exemplary Ambassadors of Human Good Will. Thank You!
i like that they have poop bag for the chicken!!!!! Thats Japanese for you!!!
samwuzerehihi omg is that what that was lol
I laughed at that as well! It looked so cute on them haha.
I think it wasn't just for poop chickens lay eggs and its easier that way because they don't have to look for them
@@hihi-tk8uw roosters don't' lay eggs
@@MM-ym8kk in our farm they use cute little sacks we don't put the chickens inside a chicken coop so I thought they were chickens.
Wow Time passes and both of them growing like me. What an amazing universe it feels incredible. 😊
They will always have these moments. Such amazing parents. 🙂
I have loved every single video I've watched so far. I appreciate how well made each one is, and the passion is apparent. Greetings from Finland!
Thanks for another video.📹👍🏻
This is like a short documentary,I love this channel.
Yea I love this style too! One of the best Japan RUclipsrs out there!
I really appreciate seeing a little of what life in Japan is like. It's interesting to learn about the experiences and daily lives of other people.
I always watch your videos over and over again, your videos just relaxes me and makes me feel like I’m with you guys
Very different to other content creators, we absolutely love this channel!
Chickens with colorful diapers. Only the Japanese I think would think of something like this. 😮😃😁😆🤣🐓
Great video..if I was Shin's age and people kept handing me sword's,I would break my face smiling so much..thx for posting this video,that's a nice family you have..well done Sir..From Oklahoma USA..
This has to be my favourite video you have put out yet. Full of interesting content and beautifully shot and edited; really impressed.
i looove these family vacation trip videos you made. they're full of activities, but relaxing at the same time. not too ambitious and tiring.
Wow, Aiko's English is so good!
Also, great video and made me put Kochi on my list for my next trip to Japan :)
The kids grew up in Vancouver, Canada before the family moved to Japan. Last time I checked, we speak fluent English here in Canada. 😉😂
@@wctoronto yeah but day to day they speak Japanese and they've done really well to retain the English they already knew, I know loads of people that moved countries older than aiko and Shin who have all but lost their original language when nor immersed any more
Rachel Lazenby Perhaps, that’s the case, if they are no longer exposed to English in their new home country...like the people you know. That’s not the case with Aiko and Shin. Greg speaks English to them on a daily basis, because he’s not fluent in Japanese. It helps tremendously to have parents speak different languages to maintain what they learned in their younger years. That’s how I am multi-lingual even though I was born and raised in Canada. I speak almost fluent Cantonese (2nd language), because my parents spoke to me in that dialect most of the time and I also attended classes in my younger years. I understand some Toisan too (4th language), because my mother’s side of the family speaks it, but not as fluent as my Cantonese, because I only hear her speak that dialect periodically. Same with French (3rd language), learned it in school, but only exposed to it occasionally (it’s Canada’s 2nd official language)...so, I could only speak/understand simple French conversations. Retention and fluency of a language is determined by how often you speak and hear that language.
Far as I remember Greg speaks only English and his wife speaks only Japanese to the kids to ensure they retain both languages.
thank you for the wonderful video
Thank you for sharing! The glass making place was really neat! I enjoy your videos 😊
God Bless your Family, Truly I Love your Videos so so much, literally my favorite channel on RUclips.
Three day holiday-J-style; one day going away stuck in traffic on the Tomei expressway, one day there rushing around buying souvenirs for friends and co-workers, one day coming back stuck in traffic on the Tomei expressway. Substitute Chuo, Tohoku, Kanetsu, Meihan, etc., for Tomei...
Hahaha, you describe it quite well!
i actually shocked when i got stuck on Tomei after i drove a year in Okinawa, i never thought you could literally not move on an expressway in Japan. Also driving at night was scary since all those truck drivers are bullies
the glassblowing part gave me dr stone vibes with the science squad senku, chrome, and old man kaseki :)
You seriously have the cutest kids. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a wonderful trip and video! Your kids are so cute, and your daughter is especially bright and outgoing. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
Someone get Aiko's Starbucks quote on a T-shirt.
Also, i now officially envy Japanese trains.
those chickens... are they wearing diapers?????
I think the chickens stole the show.. should be your thumbnail :)
maybe to catch the eggs?
Jojo those are roosters, they don't lay eggs...it's to catch their poop so they don't make a mess
tbh the roosters looked like a mess themselves
LOL... one of the best comments I read today. Honestly, you do have a point.
I love this family..please do more..i have enjoyed seeing your family grow and learn about Japan, , ..this was am awesome trip..you are lovely people
I think it’s really cool that your work lets you take your family on amazing trips like this sometimes.
Chickens with nappies haha
Greetings from the Philippines :)
Thank you for sharing your experiences in Japan. I really enjoy watching your mini documentaries. I'm from NYC and it's getting harder to find fun things to do unless we travel outside the 5 boroughs. Continue with more stories I really enjoy it!
Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh. My son would love everything single thing you guys did there! One reason of many that I love your channel! You give the world a family’s perspective to various things in Japan. 😻
I love those diaper-wearing chicken
This is so wholesome! Thank you.
been watching for years! video quality is amazing, content is even better! Keep up the good work!
The struggle of being left handed, I can relate ! 😅
Aiko is getting so tall!
You have such an adorable family. Thank you for your beautiful and inspirational videos.
I love the sad, melancholic touch you always give to your vids
Seems pleasant, relaxed, and happy to me.
watching their videos makes me want to learn Japanese and go live in japan
nice video waiting for a hole week. 😀😀😀
It was so much fun watching your family going on this trip! Made my day! Greetings from The Netherlands :)
Love your videos soooooo much! Thank you for sharing bits of your life with us!
"For some reason they decided to give Shin a sword."
Having watched all the cooking videos...
Looks like Aiko is right, "cool and cool". No offense to Greg but the mum must be beautiful, both those kids are very good looking and they seem to behave well.
Shin looks like his dad and Aiko looks like her mom I bet ~☆
Who knows, but yeah they are both cute kids. More importantly, like their parents they will grow to be good people. Again, I don't know about the mum but Greg just seems like great guy and if he lived next door, I would probably be friends with him. Do you get that impression too? That and his talent are the success of his channel.
That's what heterogenetic will do for ya. ;)
At least in the first view generations.
But those eyes they all got, you will only get that by curiosity & a loving home.
@@rowlet3270 Legend has it that if you find the right video, you can see Mom clearly for just a split second.
@@herranton which video do you mean? Felt like i watched most of them :D
i love your videos
Great video, as usual! Love seeing the kids growing up bi-lingual. I think I would enjoy that open air train ride across the countryside and hanging out at the beach. best wishes to your family!
i never see this part of Japan before, look super interesting
please do more...
*most youtuber just explore the cities.. i know.. the cities are big lot of places to go
but lesser known place do have its interesting part too..
This dude has an infomercial voice haha
Not at all. What are infomercials like where you are from? ;)
Shafer Hart I see what you did there
Great video Greg. My favourite part were the caves. Thank you and your family for sharing.
Thank you for sharing such amazing heart warming videos:)
I love shin’s 猫派 t shirt. I want a 犬派 one.
Maki1029 jun and Rachel.
Oh cool. Thanks for the info!!
what do they say
Slightly Oddish 猫派(neko ha)means cat person/ cat faction. That’s the one shin’s wearing. I want a 犬派 one (dog faction)
They're from Rachel and Jun. You can actually get a dog one at shop.spreadshirt.com/rachelandjun/
Nice video. I"d really appreciate it if you would provide english subtitles to your videos. The auto-generated ones only work so much until your subtitles show and can't actually be seen because of the generated ones
Diana Stanciu yeh I agree
Yes, I have been pestering about doing the captions from the beginning to the end rather than allowing RUclips to auto-generate the subtitles. It's really a big letdown when the subtitles contain errors or don't show up for a while.
Thanks for sharing!!!! Tokyo has amazing places that I'd never know if it weren't from you!!!!
Great video again. You have a lovely family, thanks for showing us your great trip, fun and educationall, can't ask for more. Thanks
Yaya finally early
Aiko's voice changed so much 😢
You have a beautiful family. I love that you take them to experience the world!
This is such a sweet vacation that your kids will remember for their whole lives. My dad used to take my sister and I on these kinds of educational vacations all over California. We lived in Orange County, but he would take us to the natural history museum in Los Angeles, or to Balboa Park in San Diego, or to the Monterey Bay aquarium, or to San Francisco... we would always be learning something new. Of course we'd also go to the beach and amusement parks and try restaurants too, but it can be a lot of fun to share history and new learning... it's so great watching Aiko and Shin taking it all in.
Love from India
Aiko uses the word 'Like' very much.
just as much as native speakers tbh
Sure
Me too! And in Trinidadian (english is my native language)
then you haven't been to the U.S. or California hihi...
great video! always great quality and content, thanks
My favourite was the cave and the glass blowing. Thankyou for sharing your family day, really enjoy your videos. I’m an Aussie and live by the coast four hours away from Sydney, so I already enjoy rural life. The city would be too busy for me to live! Thankyou for your videos, lovely family
Portugal made Japan great again.
Nah...Japan currently so much advance and richer than Portugal, hahaha
How??? They aren't part of a corrupt culture. What did Portugal do for them? General McArthur over saw the rebuilding of Japan after WW2.
they gave them guns :P.
Unfortunately, it's not as cool as Japan in America. We always have to worry about beggars, druggies, getting mugged and transportation is terrible. I miss Japan. :\
Those terrible things are everywhere around the world. Not just America. Japan rocks though.
I can’t get over how adorable Aiko and Shin are. They seem like really amazing, respectful, creative lil nugs- even though they are getting older!
The glassblowing was so cool too! I would love to see more craft based things in Japan if you have the opportunity to film them. Weaving and indigo dyeing in particular, and furniture! Also that train ride was beautiful
I love history and museums so much. I will definitely check out the museum about Ryoma Sakamoto if I go to Japan. The video is super relaxing and fun. Thank you a lot for sharing your family's journey with us 😍😍😍
Get out of the cave, and go home, please. Take me with you!
