  • A stunning Japanese inn so large you get a self-driving cart, a sake brewery that encourages you to drink in a forest, and pork Tonkatsu so delicious it's criminal. We head off to the region of Gunma to celebrate to 2m subscribers, while Ryotaro spends the entire time trying to convince me, he's singlehandedly the architect behind any success the Abroad in Japan channel has ever had.
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐
    Our journey through Gunma took us to incredible breweries. You can find the full list of places we visited here!

    NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Don't deny it. You wanted to see Ryotaro get run over by the patronisingly slow self-driving cart as much as I did. A MASSIVE thank you to you all for tuning into the Abroad in Japan channel - whether you're new here and are still wondering who the hell we are, or have been watching since the dawn of time (which is 2012). I never thought we'd make it this far and I'm hoping we can do something extra special in 2021! Bring on some serious "pork tactics." (Seriously though, how does Ryotaro invent these phrases?!).

The only way I found it is a click through from a video on Sharla's channel that happened to have Ryotaro in it. So yeah, I guess I'm one of the 1.5 Million that came from him.

My eyes weren't completely in focus (as can happen when you're tired) and when I saw the abundance of red on screen combined with the music my brain filled in the rest and imagined I was looking at a horrific scene of bloody guts and suddenly I became much more awake and incredibly disturbed. A second later my eyes could make sense of what I was looking at and I became very annoyed that it was some flipping Tengu decorations that caused me such distress. So yeah, thought you would appreciate knowing that happened.

      Right... they kill an animal for show and find it remarkable when people don't let it go to waste. Guess that's the saddest part of the video right there.

    Ryotaro proving he is a true man of culture, even when drunk, with that Evita/“Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” moment 👏😄

    The love/ hate relationship of these guys always puts a smile on my face. They're like two brothers always bickering but end up laughing in the end

    Watching your show truly makes me feel like I'm reading a super indepth book that allows me to escape my reality and just enjoy watching pure bliss of You, Natsuki, Royotaro, dr Jelly guy just having fun respectfully, and still have a plethora of educational gains about Japan and its beautiful culture.
