@@twfujii60 Monkey D. Luffy ratio Edit: TW Berlin said "Thievery is thievery no matter what one's situation in life is." And deleted his comment because Luffy is too strong
@@twfujii60 It's...not theft though? Most hotels throw out stuff like that whether you opened it or not, and it's included in the cost of the room (complementary drinks means you paid for them already). It'd be theft if the mini-bar charged for stuff taken out and they took it without it recognizing, but they give it to you in the bill. They didn't have to pay, but it would be part of the price.
@TW Berlin ok my guy. If I'm gonna stay at a hotel that expensive I am gonna make use of it every way I can . It's once in a lifetime experience. And It's not like he's taking stuff from a poor man's house, they are gonna replace the stuff anyway. It 's all included in the hotel bill so it's not stealing.
@@riruru4119 ...a hotel bill they didn't have to pay for. I hope your rationalizations of obviously contemptable behavior - stealing - serves you well when you're caught: 'They had more than me, and insurance will cover it anyway'. Good luck with that, my guy.
I think the fact that this hotel invited Chris to do a review in their best room shows how far he has come and how he is now seen as one of the main influencers in Japan. I mean that is some reputation he has built. Great work Chris and well deserved. Edit: To think you started off youtube on a bed on the floor in a sub $500 dollar apartment and 9 years later you are on top of Japan in a $12,000.00 bed. Again, well deserved.
@@leightonrud66 Yes but hotels in Japan hate influencers because they get lots of emails if from them if they can get a room for free and review it. Getting invited by a hotel itself and being given a 12k room is something where you need to be famous and good.
I remember being recently graduated from highschool and planning my trip to Japan and coincidentally Chris started his channel and just moved to Japan. Happen to search on RUclips and he popped up. I started watching his videos and used him as a guide to prepare. It's crazy how far he has gone and myself. I'm glad I could be a supporter of his from the very beginning.
Fun life hack: If you ever go to a really nice hotel and love the pillows there, take off the pillowcases and find the brand tag and look them up online. My mom did that once at a Disney resort and they're the pillows she's used ever since. I'm sure the pillows in this suite are hella expensive, but it's always worth it to check.

"Is this fun to watch? Two dickheads just having a nice time." Yeah, it's really fun. I sometimes watch videos about luxury hotels but the commentary is always done by people very disconnected from normal people, like they're so rich they don't know what normal people like. It's nice to watch a luxury hotel review done by you two.
That makes sense! I'm not a fan of "rich people" content where youtube channels would boast about their wealth, and yet I throughly enjoyed this one. They make it so that the video is relatable, and not to mention without an ounce of asshole attitude to go with it.
Yes!! It's good to get the everyman perspective on somewhere this fancy + I enjoyed seeing Connor having a nice time for once 😂 I would totally watch a whole series of this! They could call it "wonderful weekend".
I agree. Those videos also often feel more "i can afford this" than "is it worth it". Watching this I actually got a feel for if id want to spend money on this or not
I had the pleasure of Staying at the Andaz when I visited Tokyo back in 2008. I was currently working for the Hyatt and got some free rooms, it was epic. I am sad they didn't give me this room as an employee discount.
I've worked for hotel cleaning/hospitality, and we were required to throw away anything left in the room, after the guest checked out, anyways, so those coulda been wasted. I do not blame Connor.
Hey Chris, just wanted to say thank you so much for making your videos for the last 10 years. You are an extremely talented director, cinematographer and story teller. I have enjoyed watching your documentaries, short films and funny one-off videos for many years and just wanted to express my admiration for your talent. I also absolutely love the podcast with Pete and am overjoyed that we get two episodes a week now instead of one. Thank you so much for all your hard work and passion. Your videos and podcasts have always brought me tremendous joy but, particularly during these awful times, it has impacted me way more emotionally and mentally, in the positive sense. My soul aches to return to Japan -- I visited for the first time in the spring of 2019 -- and your videos and podcasts have been my window. So, thank you for letting my soul live vicariously through you and your friends adventures in Japan. Good health and happiness to you and your friends and family. With love, from New York City.

Uhhhh, freezing a steak can ruin it if you don't know what you are doing. Freezing a steak is perfectly fine in almost all countries around the world as long as you are careful. What ruins steaks when you freeze them is if you freeze them slowly (This happens when your steak is not properly sealed among other things) and this causes the ice crystals to grow large and rupture the fiber or the cell structure in the meat. That being said, as long as you freeze them correctly you don't have anything to worry about, frozen steaks can last up to 6 months if frozen correctly without compromising the flavor. The Japanese are usually good at handling food, so my guess is yes, they not only found a way to properly freeze steak but to add flavor to it when freezing it with snow.
It's not fully frozen, frozen enough to harden just the outside and takes an extreme level of control to age it like that without just actually freezing it, is it a gimmick and maybe not any better than any other method? Maybe... Probably, but it's unique and a selling point so ehh
Honestly I’d love for Chris and Connor to have a show where they just have a nice time. Like comedians in cars getting coffee, but British dudes in Japan having a nice time.
Wow! I spent 7 years in the US and finally am back to Japan. I was a bit depressed at first because I was missing my friends I made in the US, but watching your videos really enlighten me and makes me want to explore my own country more! I also see thar you are located in Tohoku, which is also where I live in, so I am glad you are highlighting my hometown a lot as its usually doesnt get a lot of attentions from people.
Re: taking the free stuff, it's actually encouraged. Some product they have to throw out even if you haven't touched it for sanitary reasons. With a hotel this nice, they can afford to miss a few items.
Yeah in a room like this I would assume they actually do throw all of the complimentary items in the trash. It'd be dumb to upset some rich snob for a few hundred dollars worth of instant coffee and alcohol.
@@ruukinen I stayed in a really nice hotel in NYC and actually talked to one of the staff about it. You're bang on about it. They actually save money if you take these things. They don't get money back if they have to toss items and they see it as a waste. Even cheap hotels want you to take their soap and shampoo.
I'm glad I read this thread! I didn't know this, I'd always feel bad if I were to leave with what seemed like an excess of complimentary items... Good to know, thanks for sharing!
As someone whos worked at a hotel and has family who have. Yes the disposable stuff, please take it with you. However, please dont steal the kettles,ironing boards and trouser press, yes this is an issue.
Connor: * enters most expensive hotel room in Tokyo* Also Connor: *is most excited about bog-standard Nespresso machine that has been in my kitchen for the past year*
Connor during the stay: A lord watching over his domain. Conner after the stay: A ex-lord escaping from his domain sweeping all the treasures with him.
"Is this fun to watch? Just two dickheads having a nice time?" Yes it's very fun to watch. Especially because it's regular people's opinions on things 98% of people couldn't think of seeing in their lifetimes.
Chris and Connor is not a combo I ever thought I expected or wanted, but I am rapidly becoming a fan. I think the wacky weekends are some of my favorite videos on RUclips! You guys are so funny together!
What an amazing hotel room. Every part was jaw-dropping and stunning. I thought the shot of Connor through the window dancing was a drone shot or something. The fact that you were still inside the hotel room is amazing.
I've been waiting for this... That view of the Tokyo tower is amazing! When are you moving in Chris?? Side note, I'm really not sure about that toilet with the mirror right in front of it....
The Tokyo Andaz is a truly amazing hotel. I stayed there a little over 4 years ago when my husband and I had two free Hyatt nights with our Hyatt card. I think our room was probably about $700-$800/night US. We did have that same bath tub in our room, though! Our view was on the Mt Fuji side. I remember my ears popping when we took the elevator up to the lobby.
Chris I can tell you confidently this kind of content is indeed fun to watch. Although I will always enjoy you torturing Connor with bad hotels and abandoned theme parks, it is also genuinely enjoyable to see you guys just hanging out and having a good time at a nice venue like this one. I’d happily watch a video of you and Connor just sitting in your apartment chatting honestly. The venues and travels are incredible but it’s you and Connor who keep me coming back. I love this series though. It is always a joy to watch you having fun times with your friends.
Every wacky weekend is just a competition between them of who can be the most British. Connor gets excited about a coffee machine and Chris just sasses him the whole time.
I agree with Connor, you guys should review luxury hotels. The typical calm and collected luxury stuff reviews are getting boring, but two blokes who goof around and don't know what they are doing is much more entertaining to be fair.
@@rachelcookie321 work at hotel services, yes you're right. Items that are previously used by costumers are thrown out and it is prohibited for staff to use/drink/eat the items left in the room. but we staffs still take some "secretly".
Oh man, I've stayed at that Andaz before, and it really is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Sky suite or not, even their regular rooms are amazing. For a regular room, everything in the room is complimentary (minus alcohol) and is the same stock as seen in the suite. They even have a complimentary spa treatment that you have to reserve first thing in the morning. And during happy hours, they have complimentary h'orderves and sake in the lobby lounge while a pianist plays for two hours straight. Really the space of the room plus the amenities makes it worth while to stay in. The only issue some people have is the location, as it's a little farther to more popular areas of Tokyo.
@@rachelcookie321 To be fair, I'd be willing to bet that Japan is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for most westerners who visit, so it'd make sense to splash out for such an occasion.
@@AngryAlfonse yea but like you go to lots of countries for a once in a life time visit. I could only afford a hotel like this literally once in my life, not for every once in a lifetime trip I take.
10:27 I would absolutely love a series of videos where Chris & Connor both go around luxury hotels - I know they have been to hotels but genuinely my favourite videos are the ones of the two of you just enjoying luxury for a bit. Answer to Chris' question at 10:30 - yes, yes it is 🙂
Holy crap, I actually stayed at that hotel the last time I was in Tokyo. The basic room, not the big baller suite. I can confirm that even the basic rooms there are amazing.
Remember the first time these guys met Connor was all starstruck and in awe of Chris' presence. Now they're like the odd couple. The bubble stage for Connor is long gone.
I have been to Japan 18 times sine 2010, but since January 2019 I haven’t been able visit. Now with all the restrictions Japan had imposed I haven’t been able to travel there to visit my Japanese wife. Your videos however have given me some confort during these last few months. Keep up the good work and try to find the good side of Nagoya! it is not all boring… Check inuyama Castle, Sakae, Osu… On the other hand I do agree that Kanazawa Fish Market is great but maybe next time you visit you can go to the Castle and Gardens. Greetings from London!
Hi Chris and Connor, fantastic review. You guys did a far better review of the Andaz Hotel than a professional advertising agency. The repartee was natural and not a script, great flow in the video. The video made a pretty bland topic, fun and exciting. You guys have become a Japan institution. Can not wait to see the movie. Cheers...Keep up the great work.
True, after all the creepy places and weird love hotels they've been in, they earned it, I'd rather pay the 12k to spend a night in there than go through all the shit they have.
Chris and Connor (both separately and together) really make me feel happy. It's like their energy that they present on screen reminds to enjoy every connection I have, whether it be with another person or the setting/culture that surrounds me. Thank you to Chris for showing me a part of the world I one day hope to explore, and thank you to Connor for always keeping it down to earth and staying genuine to who you are!
There was a time Chris was doing videos from a small apartment. And now he's making videos from a hotel room with a milk frother. He's come a really long way.
Im so happy out of everyone, Connor was the one to be able to enjoy this experience with you. Both of you create top tier content and deserve the luxury!
I loved Connors bit on the table: “The best tables in Japan, crafted by the guy who cares the most about wood”. The title is spot on and I would actually watch that video. All to say please do an interview with a Japanese master carpenter, or do more reviews on luxury hotel rooms, I enjoy anything with you two dickheads in it.
Man, I've got such a thing for tall fancy apartment/hotel rooms, I can't stop watching videos about them, I just love city views so much, gosh I wanna live in a tall skyscraper even if the room isn't fancy. It just makes me feel some time of euphoria and inner peace merely living vicariously in them. Can't imagine how I'd feel actually being in one
Having worked for a few of these high end hotels… My one fear the whole time: “PLEASE SALVAGE THE FREE ALCOHOL & CONDIMENTS, THEY GET DISPOSED OF IF THEY’RE NOT USED” When Connor loots the free stuff: (GREAT SENSE OF RELIEF) “YES !!”
would it be possible to get longer versions of those timelapses (the sunset -> night one, and then the night -> sunrise one) as separate videos on your channel? that would be fantastic!
I actually appreciate how understated the furnishings are - it’s all about the view! If this room was super ornate and gilded, it would only take from things. Loved it ✌️
caught asian boss interview and wanted to say I caught your fukushima doc back then and your other videos and journey over the years and I could sense your strong desire to want to make docs like ones narrated by David Attenborough. Def looking forward to the Ken Watanabe interview! keep up the quality work! a supporter here forever!
"You can drink all of this, for free". And just like that, your true inner british spirit came up. But my god that "room" is absolutely massive. Must've been such a surreal experience walking through all of that.
That's because the rich people that use them tend to be there for business reasons. After meeting with business partners during the day, at night they might need to VTC with their own staff who are now in the day on the other side of the world.
Thanks so much for all your videos, Chris! I've been in isolation for the past week and have binged the hell out of them! Thanks for making iso a little easier to bear!
Going full Gremlin on the fancy hotel room and taking all the free stuff, literally out from under Chris’s nose is very relatable. Good on you Connor. Chris, I’m glad you followed his lead. Other than that…the view? Holy crap. Amazing.
Connor: Takes Chris to the worst rated hotel in Nagoro. Chris: Takes Connor to a $12,000 per night hotel with views of the Tokyo tower, and only forced him to eat noodles to enter. This is how you know Chris is a good guy.
NOTIFICATION SQUAD: It's time for Connor's reward after eating 100 bowls of soba noodles! But WHAT do you think of the room?

I was a bit depressed at first because I was missing my friends I made in the US, but watching your videos really enlighten me and makes me want to explore my own country more! I also see thar you are located in Tohoku, which is also where I live in, so I am glad you are highlighting my hometown a lot as its usually doesnt get a lot of attentions from people.
Re: taking the free stuff, it's actually encouraged. Some product they have to throw out even if you haven't touched it for sanitary reasons. With a hotel this nice, they can afford to miss a few items.
Yeah in a room like this I would assume they actually do throw all of the complimentary items in the trash. It'd be dumb to upset some rich snob for a few hundred dollars worth of instant coffee and alcohol.
@@ruukinen I stayed in a really nice hotel in NYC and actually talked to one of the staff about it. You're bang on about it. They actually save money if you take these things. They don't get money back if they have to toss items and they see it as a waste. Even cheap hotels want you to take their soap and shampoo.
@@artificialraspberify It's less garbage for them, which means in the long term reduced disposal costs.
I'm glad I read this thread! I didn't know this, I'd always feel bad if I were to leave with what seemed like an excess of complimentary items... Good to know, thanks for sharing!
As someone whos worked at a hotel and has family who have.
Yes the disposable stuff, please take it with you.
However, please dont steal the kettles,ironing boards and trouser press, yes this is an issue.
Connor:
* enters most expensive hotel room in Tokyo*
Also Connor:
*is most excited about bog-standard Nespresso machine that has been in my kitchen for the past year*
Lmao
The same Nespresso machine that, according to him on the podcast, he also has at home and at the podcast office/studio
The nespresso of 12k room just hits different lol.
BOG STANDARD HAHAHAHAHAHA
having a kettle in a hotel room is already a luxury so imagine having a full functioning and CLEAN coffee maker in your suite.
Fucking love Connor ransacking the room. We have the same energy.
NRG!
I mean if it's not nailed down in the hotel room, then you almost have to take it haha.
How much energy does it take to be a thief?
@@twfujii60 less energy than it takes to lick boots
Connor reacting to the 12K Hotel suite: omg this is amazing!
Connor reacting to the coffee machine: *MILK FROTHER* 🤩🤯😳
ah the simple things man
Connor during the stay: A lord watching over his domain.
Conner after the stay: A ex-lord escaping from his domain sweeping all the treasures with him.
Conjures images of the Spanish fleeing Tenochtitlan with all the gold in their boats. "Hurry! We need to get all this loot out of here!"
"Is this fun to watch? Just two dickheads having a nice time?"
Yes it's very fun to watch. Especially because it's regular people's opinions on things 98% of people couldn't think of seeing in their lifetimes.
Agreed, it absolutely is fun.
Chris and Connor is not a combo I ever thought I expected or wanted, but I am rapidly becoming a fan. I think the wacky weekends are some of my favorite videos on RUclips! You guys are so funny together!
What an amazing hotel room. Every part was jaw-dropping and stunning. I thought the shot of Connor through the window dancing was a drone shot or something. The fact that you were still inside the hotel room is amazing.
I've been waiting for this... That view of the Tokyo tower is amazing! When are you moving in Chris?? Side note, I'm really not sure about that toilet with the mirror right in front of it....
A toilet fit for a narcissist
Lol it's weird looking at yourself taking a loo. It's like having a staring contest while doing your business
Omg I love your Chanel and I’ve been watching Chris for years. I love when worlds collide 🥰
….wouldn’t it be weird watching yourself taking a dump?
Omg it’s coffeehouse crime! Love your channel!
The Tokyo Andaz is a truly amazing hotel. I stayed there a little over 4 years ago when my husband and I had two free Hyatt nights with our Hyatt card. I think our room was probably about $700-$800/night US. We did have that same bath tub in our room, though! Our view was on the Mt Fuji side. I remember my ears popping when we took the elevator up to the lobby.
10:27 - “why don’t we just review luxury hotels?”
10:38 - that’s why, Connor.
Lost my shit at that lol
Chris I can tell you confidently this kind of content is indeed fun to watch. Although I will always enjoy you torturing Connor with bad hotels and abandoned theme parks, it is also genuinely enjoyable to see you guys just hanging out and having a good time at a nice venue like this one. I’d happily watch a video of you and Connor just sitting in your apartment chatting honestly. The venues and travels are incredible but it’s you and Connor who keep me coming back. I love this series though. It is always a joy to watch you having fun times with your friends.
I've never seen Connor so completely drop the irony in one of these. That's how you know he's genuinely impressed.
Every wacky weekend is just a competition between them of who can be the most British. Connor gets excited about a coffee machine and Chris just sasses him the whole time.
I agree with Connor, you guys should review luxury hotels. The typical calm and collected luxury stuff reviews are getting boring, but two blokes who goof around and don't know what they are doing is much more entertaining to be fair.
It's like top gear but with hotels
@@Despotic_Waffle true
*If you saw this comment then hope you have the best day of your life! Love from a small RUclipsr!* ♥
To answer at least one of Chris' questions, YES I would love to see a series of the 2 of them going around reviewing luxury hotels
Chris and Connor in true British way, stole all alcohol and espresso pods from the room. Keep it up lads.
Wrong, if they were truly British they would've claimed that room as British territory!
It’s not stealing, it was free
@@rachelcookie321 It's factored into the cost of the room. They didn't pay a penny, so a shitty move all round.
@@TUUK2006 yea, which they got given for free. If they didn’t take the items the hotel would of thrown them out. It’s not a shitty move, it’s smart.
@@rachelcookie321 work at hotel services, yes you're right. Items that are previously used by costumers are thrown out and it is prohibited for staff to use/drink/eat the items left in the room. but we staffs still take some "secretly".
Oh man, I've stayed at that Andaz before, and it really is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Sky suite or not, even their regular rooms are amazing. For a regular room, everything in the room is complimentary (minus alcohol) and is the same stock as seen in the suite. They even have a complimentary spa treatment that you have to reserve first thing in the morning. And during happy hours, they have complimentary h'orderves and sake in the lobby lounge while a pianist plays for two hours straight. Really the space of the room plus the amenities makes it worth while to stay in. The only issue some people have is the location, as it's a little farther to more popular areas of Tokyo.
Farther from the popular areas? That’s why Our Lord and Savior The Flying Spaghetti Monster gave us TAXIS!!
Damn, that basic room sounds expensive. That’s the sort of thing I would only splash out on for like my honeymoon.
@@rachelcookie321 To be fair, I'd be willing to bet that Japan is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for most westerners who visit, so it'd make sense to splash out for such an occasion.
@@AngryAlfonse yea but like you go to lots of countries for a once in a life time visit. I could only afford a hotel like this literally once in my life, not for every once in a lifetime trip I take.
The Welsh are impressed by simple things like indoor plumbing and coffee machines.
10:27 I would absolutely love a series of videos where Chris & Connor both go around luxury hotels - I know they have been to hotels but genuinely my favourite videos are the ones of the two of you just enjoying luxury for a bit.
Answer to Chris' question at 10:30 - yes, yes it is 🙂
Gotta say it, seeing Connor walk around this expensive hotel room...with a glass of red wine in his hands...made my anxiety levels SPIKE
Don’t worry your little head about it. I’m sure the Hotel staff has dealt with Red Wine stains before.
Yeah especially after seeing the vast WHITE sofa they sat on whilst wielding said weapons.
"A hotel room that might just have the best view of the entire city"
*Includes Connor dancing in the shot*
Wow, Chris is such a nice guy
Holy crap, I actually stayed at that hotel the last time I was in Tokyo. The basic room, not the big baller suite. I can confirm that even the basic rooms there are amazing.
I probably can’t even afford the cheapest room
How much do the basic rooms run you? (In usd please)
@@zergslayer69 around 350 to 400 per night usd.
I'm glad I'm not the only one obsessed with good baths. I swear I would visit Japan purely to visit an onsen lmao.
Same here.
Remember the first time these guys met Connor was all starstruck and in awe of Chris' presence. Now they're like the odd couple. The bubble stage for Connor is long gone.
To be fair, I'd probably take the pillows, sheets and coffee machine with me if I stayed at a 12.000 dollar hotel.
I agree but I hate you type of people.I mean take things but not an appliance
@@mikatututorials5909 Its a joke
@@natsulr7000 I knew it was a joke.
@@mikatututorials5909 Then why did you treat it that seriously lmao.
And TV.... don't forget the tv
Connor's dancing never fails to make me laugh.
I have been to Japan 18 times sine 2010, but since January 2019 I haven’t been able visit. Now with all the restrictions Japan had imposed I haven’t been able to travel there to visit my Japanese wife. Your videos however have given me some confort during these last few months. Keep up the good work and try to find the good side of Nagoya! it is not all boring… Check inuyama Castle, Sakae, Osu…
On the other hand I do agree that Kanazawa Fish Market is great but maybe next time you visit you can go to the Castle and Gardens.
Greetings from London!
I thought they reopened?? Go to your wife, christ
Came home, sat down with food, looked up and "notification" for a new video. Perfect timing. Thanks Chris!
Me too, I love his videos from Japan !!
Same here bud
Literally same
Same!
I’m starting to think that Connor liked the coffee machine more then the actually room
Connor was more impressed here than he was at Chris' new studio setup lol
Well it is 12000 a night lol
Well, it was more impressive than Chris' new studio setup.
The studio doesnt have THAT view.
@@Gatsby2 just wallpaper it to get the look lol
@X-O Kimberly Seek out the highest roof in sight and do bungee jumping without a rope from it please.
Hi Chris and Connor, fantastic review. You guys did a far better review of the Andaz Hotel than a professional advertising agency. The repartee was natural and not a script, great flow in the video. The video made a pretty bland topic, fun and exciting. You guys have become a Japan institution. Can not wait to see the movie. Cheers...Keep up the great work.
The Connor and Chris friendship arc is enjoyable. Can't wait for next season when they go through a rival arc again.
I think next arc is the dating arc
@@thecowardlydm2805 marriage arc
@@VerbaleMondo Divorce arc.
This is not only great to watch, but both Chris & Connor truly deserved this. Love it!
True, after all the creepy places and weird love hotels they've been in, they earned it, I'd rather pay the 12k to spend a night in there than go through all the shit they have.
i honestly lowkey think they’re such a sweet and fun dynamic 😭 love them together
This might be my favourite channel. I love british youtubers, more relatable as an australian than american content creators.
It's when you have a friend like Connor that ransack's the complimentary hotel stuff that you know you've hit gold.
Chris: "This amazing room cost $12,000 a night"
Connor: "This coffee machine though"
The machine that you can literally get for free from Nespresso 🤦♂
IT'S GOT A MILK FROTHER!
Chris and Connor (both separately and together) really make me feel happy. It's like their energy that they present on screen reminds to enjoy every connection I have, whether it be with another person or the setting/culture that surrounds me. Thank you to Chris for showing me a part of the world I one day hope to explore, and thank you to Connor for always keeping it down to earth and staying genuine to who you are!
So happy for you guys! Your channels have really enriched my life. Hope many more wonderful experiences await you in 2022. ☺️
This is not a Wacky Weekend, it's a date. 🤣🤣🤣
You're spoiling Connor.
It certainly won't happen again.
@@AbroadinJapan Somehow I doubt that....
@@AbroadinJapan cap
There was a time Chris was doing videos from a small apartment. And now he's making videos from a hotel room with a milk frother. He's come a really long way.
I lost it at the frother part
Ended with a milkfrother🤣
xD
Im so happy out of everyone, Connor was the one to be able to enjoy this experience with you. Both of you create top tier content and deserve the luxury!
I appreciate the effort in the small details, like messing up the sheets in both beds, as if the smaller had been slept in
Connor taking all the free stuff is such a mood.
I loved Connors bit on the table: “The best tables in Japan, crafted by the guy who cares the most about wood”. The title is spot on and I would actually watch that video.
All to say please do an interview with a Japanese master carpenter, or do more reviews on luxury hotel rooms, I enjoy anything with you two dickheads in it.
"I love wood"
Man, I've got such a thing for tall fancy apartment/hotel rooms, I can't stop watching videos about them, I just love city views so much, gosh I wanna live in a tall skyscraper even if the room isn't fancy. It just makes me feel some time of euphoria and inner peace merely living vicariously in them. Can't imagine how I'd feel actually being in one
Having worked for a few of these high end hotels…
My one fear the whole time: “PLEASE SALVAGE THE FREE ALCOHOL & CONDIMENTS, THEY GET DISPOSED OF IF THEY’RE NOT USED”
When Connor loots the free stuff: (GREAT SENSE OF RELIEF) “YES !!”
Seriously?
@@anegwa Yep.
Do they really? Even if they are unopened?
@@vt_hikaru I can only assume so, imagine if a soda can from 2019 was in the fridgeーthat wouldn't be good.
i mean, especially with covid going on, they must do that for safety reasons right?
would it be possible to get longer versions of those timelapses (the sunset -> night one, and then the night -> sunrise one) as separate videos on your channel? that would be fantastic!
i second this!!!
4th
Yes! It could be like the one he has on his second channel of the river and grass blowing in the wind!
This was the most fun I've ever had while actively feeling poor. Thanks, Chris.
I love all the content that chris makes. I watch them in random binges old and new. All great! Cant wait to read the book
I’m going to start calling all of my frozen food “snow-aged” now.
My snow-aged bagel bites will be a fine dining experience tonight!
Chris: "I should have bring someone nice like joey or natsuki"
Ryotaro: "Am i a joke to you?"
no, he is an assassin to chris
key word is "nice"
"Yes."
Ryotaro has the same type of relationship with Chris that Connor has. Chris could have said Sharla tho.
@@artluver94c Sharla was technically there with them. She was filming most of it.
Honestly I could watch Chris, Natsuki, and the trash taste guys do anything and it would be entertaining.
the boys under a bridge, grilling meat over a flaming barrel and drinking sake homeless style. Now thats a banger
Banger......yes
@@Hoppitot hobo simulator
You could literally film an entire movie in that ONE floor, I can see the cinematographic potential all over the place…
I actually appreciate how understated the furnishings are - it’s all about the view! If this room was super ornate and gilded, it would only take from things. Loved it ✌️
Yeah, but does it have to be so...beige? It has the charm of a forgotten shoebox.
@@spacehootle309 Fair point…
Beige? Your monitor color settings might be whacked?
I get that it's modern but I surely don't find it understated honestly
But yeah gilded decoration is usually awful anyways
This is also Chris’s way of challenging Ryotaro. Chris can also stay in luxurious hotels if he wants
"Is this fun to watch?" I like seeing people have a good time and seeing two people who can genuinely appreciate it is really nice : )
caught asian boss interview and wanted to say I caught your fukushima doc back then and your other videos and journey over the years and I could sense your strong desire to want to make docs like ones narrated by David Attenborough. Def looking forward to the Ken Watanabe interview! keep up the quality work! a supporter here forever!
“Is this fun to watch!? Two, like, dickheads just having a nice time!?”
Yes Chris, yes it is.
Chris and Connor have the perfect synergy. Always entertaining!
"You can drink all of this, for free". And just like that, your true inner british spirit came up. But my god that "room" is absolutely massive. Must've been such a surreal experience walking through all of that.
Connor before this: You can't buy friendship
Connor after this: So I'm here with my best friend for life, Chris Broad.
These expensive hotel rooms always feel too ...cold? Office like to me. But that view...bloody hell its something
That's because the rich people that use them tend to be there for business reasons. After meeting with business partners during the day, at night they might need to VTC with their own staff who are now in the day on the other side of the world.
That was such a Ross and Chandler vibe with the ransacking of the complimentary hotel goodies. Loved it!
Who is who?
Spot on!
THE SLIPPERS , DON'T FORGET THE SLIPPERS 🤣
Finally, after 200 noodle bowls, an abandoned theme park, and terrible love hotels, the Hotel arc finally comes to a close!
Thanks so much for all your videos, Chris! I've been in isolation for the past week and have binged the hell out of them! Thanks for making iso a little easier to bear!
Going full Gremlin on the fancy hotel room and taking all the free stuff, literally out from under Chris’s nose is very relatable. Good on you Connor. Chris, I’m glad you followed his lead. Other than that…the view? Holy crap. Amazing.
And the shot of snuggled up Connor with that view was beautiful. ❤️
Everyone deserves to have a friend like Chris. Keep it up lads.
Connor: Takes Chris to the worst rated hotel in Nagoro.
Chris: Takes Connor to a $12,000 per night hotel with views of the Tokyo tower, and only forced him to eat noodles to enter.
This is how you know Chris is a good guy.
Yeah. Connor is just really good at playing the victim and spin things to his favor. See the same in Trash Taste too. lol.

I have to say the lighting incredible at the end. You can see Connors green eyes it's so cool. Beautiful eyes
