- This is SANENZAKA or the third stair incline on the way to or from KIYOMIZUDERA TEMPLE. It's also a shopping street amusement park these days.
I got stopped by a lot of high school students visiting Kyoto on school trips. Thank you to them for making this live stream, so much more interesting :)
SUPER CHATS!! (Thank you!)

Chicken on Biscuits
I watched every video, love ya brother. I grew up with Japanese neighbors in Ohio. they had Mario 3 when 1 just came out. my first sushi and appreciation of Japanese culture
(That's awesome! I went to Ohio State University, lived in Columbus for 5 years. Miss Central Ohio very much! I also have wonderful Japanese neighbors :) and they absolutely make my experience here much better so I'm very happy to hear you had a good expeirence with yours as well. -john)
The high schoolers love interacting with John xD
;)
love the part where they chased him down the road
yeah ! I envy him .
i wouldnt like it . I think it was suuuuper creepy.
come live in the usa
kids being friendly= run for your life lol
Oh my gosh. the high school boy practicing his English on you was adorable.
lol.. i love how people just randomly wave to the camera
AlexHW it's so funny! When you talk to a selfie stick with a camera, people are curious! I wonder how long this will last :p
Two years ago my wife and I visited the Great Buddha of Kamakura and some Japanese school girls asked to take their pictures with us. We tried to communicate but the conversation ended up in giggles. Long story short I found out that one of the girls spoke Portuguese her family lived in Sao Paulo Brazil which I hear has the biggest Japanese population after Japan. I speak Portuguese so from then on we're able to have a wonderful conversation and she ended up being the translator for her group:-) BTW love your channel.
Nice of you John the kids really appreciate it!!!!! ✌️

this channel convinced me that Japan is the most beautiful country in the world.
This has to be my favorite "live" stream!!
In Japan being a tourist gets u lots of ladies
The random cute interactions he has with people makes it very "real". It has such a welcoming feel. 👌👏👏
I thought that too. Iceland is a sure thing thing!
There soo many things to do and see in Japan women were an afterthought.

love these live streams. and those high school kids are so cute and nice :)
I kinda envy those high school girls, I wish I could have a photo with John as well ^.^
Dude, you are great at live streams... I love the serendipity; the unexpected.
👌
I love those school kids taking pictures with you !!!! They are also very polite and humble!
I lived in Kyoto for several years and I loved it, but I absolutely hated that street because it was so unbelievably crowded all the time and a major tourist trap full of mostly junk (not三年坂, but the first street lol) The back route is much more interesting and less crowded. I'm also pretty sure Kiyo is under construction right now, so not really worth going to unfortuatenly at this point, but if you ever get the chance, the Kiyomizu light up's at night are amazing, especially in fall. I would definitely recommend making the trek for that purpose, but only that purpose haha. I also remember giving my students that assignment to go interview foreigners on their summer trips, I still feel bad about it haha.
Also, for those interested in telling the difference between real Maiko and Tourists:
(1) Look at the geta. Generally real Maiko in full attire wear Okobo, really tall geta with the front slanted inward, but foreigners and tourists often won't because they can't walk in them; (2) If you look close generally you can often see the wig lines on tourists, but Maiko use their real hair; (3) if the kimono collar is full of all sorts of flashy colors, likely a tourist. Maiko usually have creamy white, red, or sometimes gold collars; (4) real Maiko rarely stop for photos and almost never have an escort following them or carrying their bags; (6) if the kanzashi (hair ornament) does not match the season, it is a tourist; (7) Maiko are usually young, and only usually until about age 18-20, thus older looking Maiko are probably fake; (8) Maiko generally do not tie up their kimono to make it easier to walk because they are trained how to walk gracefully with it down, so if the kimono is tied high up so it is easier to walk, probably a tourist, and (9) if it is before dinner time, chances are extremely high they are a tourist because most Maiko get ready in their okiya during the afternoon and depart for their appointments in the early evening, thus you almost never see a Maiko in full regalia in the afternoon or morning.
I like how John is like a mascot or something out there.
This video made me smile so much, seeing how excited those students were to see a foreigner. Japan is such a beautiful place and the people are just so so sweet
Was here a year ago, was definitely one of my favorite places in Japan
Aww the boy ran to take a picture and sign with you after the English practice haha so cute
I really like the spontaneous interactions.
It gives it a "real" feel 👌👏👏
Making this go channel was a great move. These kind of videos give the people who haven't had a chance to visit Japan the cultural vibe the country, people, and buildings give! I'll donate when i can and keep these great streams coming!
You're reliving your Teacher days! -)
Dolnor haha!! Felt like that a little. It's nice to have these funny little interaction during the day.
ONLY in JAPAN * GO hey man love your vids! In Kyoto currently. What camera do you use?
I think he's using iPhone 7 for live streaming
LOL.... John, you're a rock star!!!!
Your vlogs I started watching just few days back and I have actually stopped watching very popular vloggers like Casey and others and have started to love the way you are totally natural, spontaneous, candid at times and beautifully tell these stories with hints from a sociological perspective. Big respect and a huge fan already! Everybody should watch your vlogs.. They're beautifully made!
Would like to watch a bicycle tour vlog of japan one day! Never stop vlogging about this beautiful country!
You've become a superstar in that town ^^
I found your interaction with the young people just refreshing and so natural. You have a real talent for engaging others. You made their day. My day was made by watching you interact with them. The world could learn a thing or two from you and those kids.
The people so cute and friendly 😊 I love japan
Those school girls were awesome, super nice, they seemed like they knew about you John, great stream, I think some got cut off though .
I love when he just talks to the locals (or not quite, since those students were from Gifu). I find it really cool and interesting that he's molded into society so well and people are usually very nice and friendly, although quiet and shy a lot of the time too.
These high school students are cute as hell. xD
I don't know where you're from or how you got to Japan, but your videos are quaint and frankly refreshing.
Thanks...
mojabaka I heard that it's extremely difficult to be allowed to reside in Japan, there's a very small number of people permitted to stay, they want to stay Japanese unlike other countries opening the flood gates of immigration.
Fantastic stream from Kyoto! Loved the traditional old town look and charm of the area, your advice to tourists and the cutest was helping the students practice their English with you! Now you did all that and had a business meeting, a great day out I say!
We just saw My Neighbor Totoro. There is a Studio Ghibli Film Festival this summer in the US theaters. You can see it either dubbed or subtitled.
John is a superstar! Tourist information guy...luv it. Love your videos.
Actually, I was one of those students.
Your ability to write in English is very good then assuming you didn't use google translate. Were you on a school field trip then and did you enjoy Kyoto?
TickTack which one xD, nice english by the way
I don't believe you. He didn't give you his RUclips channel name.
MAJI????
Naruhodo
2:37 John gives Devil horns instead of piece sign.
@0:20 cute schoolgirl waving at you ^_^
Actually, I was one of those schoolgirls.
slaiyfershin lol, really ?
slaiyfershin LOL
Girls in Japan are Natural born Hams. But silly happy Hams.
it means "want to go to jail onii chan"
the girl at 0:20
I'm loving this GO concept. It feel like I'm walking the streets of Japan myself! Thank you!!!
I'm so glad people are watching these min adventures and enjoying them. Thank you!!!!! -john
Awww!!!
Whenever I watch this channel I feel like I am on a vacation in Japan.
🙂
Japan is really beautiful....buat orang Indonesia yg baca ini ya inilah negara yg harus kita contoh waktu gw kejepang gw blm sempet kesini cuma di tokyo gile bgt ya bersih bgt
I found myself smiling & waving at the girls as if I was really there!!
I remember walking on this to get to Kiyomizudera temple earlier this month. :)
Oh those students! So sweet :)
Love your answer, "I will stay in Japan forever"
I am from Taiwan
I can not hear ~ is a hearing impaired
I like Japan
I love Japan
I was born in Taiwan - more and more disgrace
The next life was born in Japan
I try to make money slowly save money ~ will go to Japan to play
Well you are not only one. Me too.
Same here
Why you dont like Taiwan?
@@RamMohammadJosephKaur Many bad guys and thieves in Taiwan are really dangerous
LMAO the students chasing you at the end really cracked me up. so sweet of them and the guy asking questions with the note book. =)))
I've been watching you for so long John and sometimes I just come back to old vids to rewatch and man, I swear I never get tired of any of them! 🙂
ahhhhh^^ getting chased down by JP schoolgirls sounds like a dream LOL!
凄い人柄がよくて大好き💕
So those kids doing their school assignment. Interview the foreigner.
Yes, if you walk around in East and Southeast Asia then you will meet often kids who have to interview you in English as school assignment.
I don't envy that kid. An assignment like that would be way out of my comfort zone.
i always recommend this channel to my friends becuse you can see the real japan and his culture i love this walking in the street videos NICEEEEEEEEE
This was a cute stream. :D
Girls are always taking pictures of you
👌
It's because he's white
misamisatv Indian, the country and white.
京都とても行きたくなった
I was lucky enough to visit Japan a few years ago and the same thing happened to me. At least 2 or 3 different school children came up asking questions for a school lesson, what was your favourite food, where were we from that sort of thing. Their were always very polite and their English was very good.
omg the highschoolers are so friendly T___T
Why youtube won't notify me when it's live!? WTH, it notify when it's done and uploaded.
Your videos are so much better than travel channels on TV because you always tell it like it is 👍🏼 And I'm very impressed with your Japanese, so fluent. Where did you learn it?
He's been living in japan for over 10 years i think. he's very fluent :)
Fifteen years.
@@ptrs559 20 years
No Anime No Life yes, you are correct.
Wow amazing❤️
Don't worry John. I'm constantly tourist info center too. I work in Waikiki beach and it's fascinating that word seems to spread like wild fire that I can speak Japanese. Japanese tourists pop in, ignore all the other workers and walk straight up to me to ask for directions, recommendations, and what not. Haha they love snapping my photo cause the chunky nerdy Hawaiian lady speaks their language😂 I sell touristy T shirts.... haha I don't even work for an info booth.
I thought it was so adorable that the high school boy asked to practice his English with you! Awwww! So diligent!!!!
Love the interaction parts with the Japanese and tourists.
John you look like a superstar in the way that the locals on how treat you. Glad this makes you happy. It sure made me happy
I got so happy when I saw that road going up to Kiyomizu Dera and saw the place that I got strawberry ice cream from, brought back so many memories from my trip to Japan!
So thankful for this video! I saw this video three years ago, before my trip to Japan. Thanks to you I knew about the Starbucks shop there. I know, Starbucks is not authentic of course. But this shop was so beautiful! Just watching the video again because I miss it so much. Brings me joy ❤️
Jump to @13:10 to look chat with Girl.
Thank you for reminding me about tanabata! Indeed it is that season already! I better make my wishes ^o^
I love Kyoto! I stayed at the Kyoto Tower Hotel when I was there visiting...
You're such a superstar John. : P
It reminds me so much things... and to think that I was there, in these alleys last summer... so unrealistic. I want to go back to Japan so hard. I was only one day and a half in Kyoto it was really too short to see all the beautiful things of this city and I really love the traditionnal part of Japan.
13:25 eehh?? eehh?? eehhh? XD
I love this channel ...
I really enjoy your happy personality. It makes for a very fun video that could otherwise be quite dull.
I just like your smile . I have been there and Japan is beautiful, peacefull with respectfull people everywhere you go. I have no fear touring JAPAN because people are very helfull too. It has some nice and beautiful tourist sites. You enjoy your stay
I visited Kyoto in 2000. Your tour reminded of many fascinating experiences that came my way. I could go back there tomorrow, but so many other places to visit are on my travel lists. Consequently, I will enjoy your video and commentary. But remember, you are adding to the crowdedness on the streets. The shopkeepers need the business, too.
Hey John, we can see much more smiles in Kyoto!! Congrets for the video!
You're so awesome, taking pics with them. Great video thanks for sharing.
YAY!! Finally a video of a place where I went. I recognise most of those shops.
I was just in Kyoto two weeks ago and was on this very street....Kyoto was absolutely amazing. While it is stunningly crowded with tourists......literally thousands.....it is an amazing place....
look how nice the children dress and act . very nice culture .
It's funny that I kept hearing Cantonese in the background.....
Lol you can still hear the girls nearly 2 mins later
first time viewer. great video hope to watch more :)
Was there a continuation of this post? I love your interaction with the teens...
It's almost creepy but adorable how people are asking for picture takings xD. Also thanks for taking the effort to make these videos John! This is good reference material for Asian architecture for 3d environmental work I might use for inspiration after my other projects are done.
Betabones he's somewhat of a celebrity people probably noticed him on TV shows.
I Will Stay in Japan Forever, Maybe.
I love the kids
This was so funny! Loved how the kids kept following you. You're a rock star :D
You're such a good sport, chatting with the school kids in english & letting them take photos :)
What a joy to see you and the students. You're very famous. =)
11:09 John sings Totoro song.
I wish i could go to Japan. Amazing place.
My dream destination KYOTO ! LOVE FROM INDIA!
man these vids are some of my favorites outside of music. Keep doing what you're doing man.
Wow ,John ,Your Presence itself brings a lot of Happyness .Thanks a lot . Yeah , You are almost a celebrity . See how those high School kids came running after you . ,Some times ,One might feel that Japanese People are different or keep Only to themselves . But the truth is ,When they feel or Understand that *You are good and Acceptable * , They Welcome you to the highest Level . I love those Lovely People and Japan from the deep of my heart. I am very happy for you ,John .
This video was so cool! Love the interaction with the school children.☺️
Hey John thanks for showing Kyoto and all those wonderful people and it is nice to see student ask you question while streaming that actually made it more fun. Anyway I only went to Tokyo, Yokohama and Niko Edomura.
Thank you for the video, but as far as I remember there is always an Ekiben festival in Tokyo - can you make a video about that event too? Thank you your work!
Loves shopping , thanks
Excellent video Brother, I am going Tokyo in march, your video is very useful to me.
OMG, the kids are the cutest things!!!!!!
underrated channel :) oh wait this is the 2nd one.
Gir's response @13:24 when they find out what you were doing live broadcast. lmao... priceless.
