@@Dayone92 why are you here then? It's amazing. If you want car content, go and watch TDC... I'd rather watch this, than Ethan not knowing what's going on being forced to make car content when he has zero interest in it.
Fan from Japan here. Was astonished to see the ordeal unfold. As someone who lived in Tokyo for 5 years, even I can't picture myself doing this on my own. I also appreciate the highlights on spots on the way. The following people idea was kind of clever, as that is a good tactic to find the big streets. Sounds like you guys may have stumbled on some candidate making a roadside speech at the end. We recently had a gubernatorial election, so that may have been it. Anyways, definitely will look forward to the road trip video ! Best of luck to you all ! Anonymous Japanese p.s. Sorry for the long comment, I am not used to this. Just wanted to lay out my appreciation.
I love the direction this channel has taken, I was a little disappointed knowing it wouldn't be ethan being forced to do car content for our entertainment but at the same time seeing Jack and Ethan both looking so much more entertained, and knowing that there could and most likely will be crossovers in the autoalex universe makes me so happy. Plus it really seems as if Jack and Ethan have cornered a really niche market here and really cultivated their own audience.
Challenge: start at one side of Central Milton Keynes and get to the other. Use all the phones, guides and maps you need. The challenge is that you have to be in Milton Keynes.
Love how jack and ethan still involve themselves with alex and the rest of the crew but set out to do something different exploring the world while still keeping alex crew in the loop. Leaving car throttle was the good choice for the 3 lads
I feel like Venice or something similar in Italy would be an interesting one with no map because they’re not that big to walk across but the streets are so tiny they’re like labyrinths
@@Recessio I do remember that they could replicate it but if you remember that particular city was so difficult because of the one way systems which don’t apply on foot which is the main reason why Venice came to mind because if they are doing it on foot Venice has no roads obviously but I think a city like Lucca and just doing the challenge in a car would be awesome
@@Murray_23 the thing that’s funny about Venice is sometimes even when you try to use your phone the narrowness of the streets means it can’t reach satellites so even your phone doesn’t quite know where you are 😂
@@Recessio I've been to Lucca and it's not that hard to find your way around without a map. Maybe driving around is a different story but I feel like TG definitely made that look a bit more dramatic than it really was.
This is such an amazing concept. I LOVE doing this in a completely new and foreign city/country. Theres something so serene about walking around “regular places”, down regular streets, regular intersections, regular corner stores. It may be so boring to a local but to a foreigner, those regular places are the ones you remember the most as if imagining how your life would be if this regular foreign place across the globe is where you wouldve lived. Well done boys, cant wait for the next one
So this has got me thinking about that pick up truck tog gear episode in Canada. You two dropped off in the sticks somewhere and you have 24 hrs to find the nearest town but as soon as the clock strikes 24 hrs you have to stay put, make camp and wait to be rescued by Alex and the TDC boys. The person closest to the nearest town gets to pick which rescue team they want to retrieve them and the first team back to the town wins 😊
I've always said to myself that some of the popular car youtubers should do a travel vlog, simply because of how good they are in front of camera, their shots, and editing. This is an example. Love your work... keep going and looking forward to more.
This brings back so many memories of when we went. I watched it then rewatched it again with "ma wayf", and she loved it. Then rewatched all the Iceland ones together. Love what you guys are doing, keep it up ❤️
9:23 For anyone worried about getting worse at navigating, try using a paper map for a road trip. It is great fun, and it will improve your intuitive navigation skills.
Top tip for next time or for those heading to Japan in the heat: Get yourself plenty of pocari sweat. Its like Powerade or a Lucozade sports drink. Replaces all the goodness you sweat out. Bloody miracle drink. Love the vid lads. Been to Japan twice myself and instantly knew what a daunting task you were up against
I remember being in Tokyo and being completely lost with a friend of mine in the middle of the night. We didn't have any cash for a cab anymore and and phone batteries dead. We legit just followed the subway signs hoping we would get to the one next to our hotel and we ended up making it. We also got lots of help from people, even though none of them spoke English. Such lovely people, great memories.
The best trip of my life was to Japan. Every corner of this country is amazing. The people are just purely awesome. Hope you had a blast boys and I'll definitely visit that country again. many times.
I thought Edwin was better than that with his car knowledge 😂 he got the 787 bit right but it’s not the Renault it’s the Mazda livery. Absolutely loving your content guys it’s totally different to the norm and love the direction you’re taking your channel. Tokyos on my bucket list and watching this makes me want to visit so much more.
Always loved watching the car throttle days and wasn’t too sure about this NEW approach BUT I’m loving it. It’s completely different to what you used to do and it’s great. 😊
Loved this, much to be said about understanding a city when you just walk around aimlessly (even if you did have an aim)... Vietnam is a must for this, Hanoi was mental when we visited in the age before smartphones.
Young lad I know booked a flight to north Vietnam from uk rented a motorbike rode to the southern tip posted the bike back and jumped a plane home! Why not if you can enjoy life do it! 👍🏻
The new channel is absolutely ace guys, I think this content suits you both. CarThrottle and AutoAlex both seemed like a derestricted Top Gear at their best, and the best parts of TG were always the travellogs. -former CT writer from before the RUclips days
This channel is awesome. I've watched both of you for years, but your flavor of adventure is delightful. Plus the fact that youre both quite handy with a camera keeps cinematography on point for a 2 man crew
Ethan and Jack, now you HAVE to do European capitals. You can start with Western Europe: Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, Berlin, Rome etc. Such a nice video and concept!
I feel there are just too many car channels rn, so I'm loving the direction you guys are going! a sorta car travel channel is much more interesting imo
Excellent video and reinforces my belief of trying to get my bearings in any new place without relying on technology. Thanks for taking us with you- looking forward to the next episode. Video suggestion- Set a budget and see how far away from a random/difficult/specific starting point you can get in 24 hours?
i like how your content isn't just carried on car content, it's nice to see you get to include travelling etc in to it. but never forget we're here for the car content
I'm a Japanese working and living in Tokyo but can't think of walking from Skytree to Shibuya, that's quite a bit of crazy idea. It's amazing job you two did it and also Ethan's Japanese is really good! I'm happy to see you two enjoyed Japan. Come back again anytime! ;)
Absolutely loved watching you two do this! I was thinking this channel world do car videos and everything Ethan does in his garage but I'm so glad it's more (Hopefully the other videos are there too! If you're genuinely interested in them of course!)
You guys are definitely carving your own unique RUclips genre and deserve every subscriber you get. Well done and keep the videos coming, such a refreshing change 👍
Happy to se Edwin even for a sec. I just watched TDC latest video and dropped a comment "Ethan and Jack" Every next video of you is the new best, hope next is even longer
Love these travel videos, Loving the guys in the background waving at the camera. Hope they see this video ❤🤣I think it is a good idea to get lost in a city, you get to experience parts of the city you may not seen. Loving the content and videos ♥
You should do Istanbul. You can start at the Istanbul Sapphire observation deck and walk to the Grand Bazaar and then get the ferry to Asia as your only public transport and walk to Camlica Mosque where you get another great view. It's about 14 miles in length and goes through most of the best parts of the city.
This video was so good... I reminded me walking around the Yamanote line as my highschool's geology class field work. It's a pain to walk that much, but like in this video you can see there are many different areas and land usages in this city.
This. 1000x more this, for cities across the world. Get arty with it and the shots, have these vids become tours of parts of places people would usually never ever see
I moved from West London to Tokyo five years ago and still remain here (I actually visited the Skytree just yesterday), I must applaud you both.. Especially doing this in the middle of the Japanese summer, the humidity is suffocating, and it isn't a good time being outside. Even navigating Tokyo with google maps can be a frustrating, but to do this without any phone or traditional map is quite the achievement. Loving the content, Jack & Ethan keep it coming!
Tokyo is an incredible city. I’ve been there twice now and I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of what it has to offer. I think some people don’t realize how absolutely massive it is. It’s less of a city and more like a region with several cities within it. It is pretty uncomfortable in the summer though, especially if you’re from a region that doesn’t typically have heat and humidity at the same time. There aren’t really very many cool tuner cars in Tokyo, I think because there are restrictions that make them inconvenient to get into the city.
I'm with Ethan about standing on the glass in the sky tree........NOPE!! You two are bloody amazing, I'm stunned that you could do that with no tech and no language skills for Japan. This channel is epic, so pleased you two moved into your own channel.
Fantastic video guys, really pleased to see some brilliant content, great partnership between you both, refreshing ideas and really hope your channel goes from strength to strength.
I hope this Chanel is managing to fund itself, I'm not sure I could deal with being given content like this and have it taken away again. Please keep doing what you're doing :)
Been to the exact crossing and asked for directions at 18, almost ten years ago. This brings back great memories. Spent a week in Tokyo, absolutely amazing city.
Love your videos guys keep it up. Getting lost in Tokyo seems like the best thing to do to explore all the “non-tourist” areas. Can’t wait for more Japan videos.
I have to say I didn’t know I needed this content till I watched it, really enjoyed seeing you two explore and venture round Japan trying to find your way. Brilliant content guys 👌
I love this channel so much. You've taken the chemistry between you two and the amazing journeys and sprinkled in some cars and I love it. It's what was so great about top gear and grand tour, it became an amazing adventure show that dabbled in cars ofc, but focussed on a couple of mates doing something incredible.

I've lived most of my life in Milton Keynes (28 yrs old) and even I would struggle
@@CPRElijah I lived there til I turned 18 and have only been back once in the last 15 years - that was once too many.

This is by far the best video I've seen about Tokyo, because you're seeing the unseen.and sharing it with us. Epic. Thanks guys.
Also, you guys should walk the Jurassic Coast. Let me know when and I'll pop the kettle on.
This was so brave and love Ethan's Japanese language efforts! Gotta give it to you, I get lost even when I have been somewhere let alone Tokyo 🗼🇯🇵

A safe friendly city to go wondering around, especially without any assitance is the best way to absorb the beauty of Tokyo.
