honestly I’m quite impressed with your view on how we Japanese handle things. right we dare seldom force things to fit in with our way, but rather just leave and have them feel 'incorrect’ by keeping the way we do. seeing this reserved manner as polite or respectful may sound a bit funny to me. not saying we’re mean or two-faced, still we do so just for it’s been efficient on this island short on resources and full of natural disasters. comments on filming permission and such do have a point but you look paying enough attention to others. they’ll just tell you not to do when they really bother after all. anyway, enjoy skiing!
If you want to take video in a restaurant, you usually have to get permission first. Until recently, there were a lot of pranksters and nuisances from RUclipsrs, and it even led to police involvement. As a result, it's inevitable that the number of places where photography and video is prohibited has increased 😭So, when you go into a shop or restaurant, ask first if it's okay to take videos, and then do so if it's okay.😊
Yup. He went straight into a grocery store in another video, plus tried to tip a restaurant in another. Clearly Oli has no ill-intentions. But with tourism on the rise in Japan, and the increase in lack of respect for certain areas and customs, it's only a matter of time before more bans are implemented and ruining it for everyone else. This comment isnt necessarily meant for Oli, rather to encourage people who wish to visit Japan to simply watch a video of things you *shouldn't* do in Japan.
I hadn't heard about that until I'd already left Japan. Understandable that there's a lot of worry around foreigners filming then. I hope it's clear for everyone to see that I mean no harm and only want to show Japan to the world.
@@OliBarrettTravel 😉yes, we understand you, Oli😉 I hope you will come back to Japan again. And hope everyone would know more some information before they come👍✨
To be clear, this is not just about foreign youtubers, but also Japanese youtubers as well. I do not know if all Japanese RUclipsrs get permissions before they film and in fact I doubt that. In the meantime, not everyone like it when someone just film randomly and post it online and it is available to view from all over the world whether they be Japanese or not. It is not just a move in Japan. Yes, there may be more restaurants and tourist spots that will have sign to show filming is not allowed but I hope to voice it is not just Japan but other places too.
Wow, I'm Japanese grew up and lived there until 26ys old but never been to Nozawa Onsen so it was so fascinating to see everything you were seeing and I can imagine myself to be very excited to look around and takin everything in to experience what you did. I can't wait till go back to visit Japanese one day in the future. So for that reason, every second you pan the camera and talking about what you were looking at and experiencing was equally so interesting and made me thrilled. I enjoyed everything with this video as I did with the previous ones. I'm glad to see you were enjoying the stay in Japan.
Talking on the phone is considered very rude in Japan whether you are talking to someone or filming. It makes no difference that other passengers want more quiet time while in the train and that is probably only in Japan that have those rules. It’s not a law. But would be nice to respect that especially for others who are interested in Japan and want to learn about the culture.
Don't worry about anything! Cultural differences are everywhere. You look like you are having a wonderful trip and many Japanese want you to have great memories in Japan. Just enjoy!
I think it would be a little noticeable if you were filming on RUclips in Japan 🤥 I think there are some people who are concerned about privacy... I like videos like this from foreigners, but I think it must be difficult to take them! How would you like to record the audio separately later? I'm rooting for you 📣
I think everyone is different and their sense of fitting in. In the melting pot of US or Europe, some immigrants feel they have totally fit in after a few years but still some may never feel they have been completely fitting in even after living there for 30 years. Unless you try that yourself, you will never completely know how YOU may feel. Also, yes, it could be different how you may will feel depending on which country you immigrate to. Personally living in Canada for almost 25 years, still I don't feel I have fit in completely. You may feel better just because there are significantly more immigrants so you are not alone but that does not necessarily mean you have fit in, it is just increasing the feeling of you are not alone. Yes, you may feel more if you immigrate to Japan so it may not even be the same level, but just a thought.
Nobody talks about this, but Japanese notes are quite stiff, so folding them makes handing them over awkward if you don't make an effort to flatten them like at 19:32. It's not good to hand cash over folded anyways--makes the cashier's job harder.
Japan is so much like Germany, people like perfection, making me feel that I can easily do things wrongly. they are both highly regulated countries with lots of rules and restrictions.
Wondering in Nozawa area! I again enjoyed your adventure. Shinshu is a kind of nickname of Nagano prefecture. Nagano is famouse for Soba, apple, miso, river fish, growing wasabi plants, iceberg lettuce and many many more. So many people come from faraway to eat Nagano's soba. Try real soba, not udon! Also oyaki bun is Nagano people's soul food. I recommend you to visit Matsumoto to see Matsumoto castle. One of the oldest and prettiest castles existing in Japan, must see.
47:15 About the language... Apart from the superficial similarity of certain characters, Japanese is fundamentally different from Mandarin. Mandarin is closer to English in terms of word order, whereas Japanese is closer to Turkish and Finnish in terms not only of word order but also verb conjugation, vowel harmony, etc. Sound-wise, Japanese is similar to Hawaiian: every syllable ends with a vowel (if not "n"). This vowel-heavy nature of Japanese gives western people the impression that the language is spoken "fast", but the actual speed at which words/concepts are uttered is not fast, it's just the vowel-to-word ratio that is high. Languages in hotter regions tend to have this ratio, because vowels help release excess body heat (and vice versa, as in Russian, a consonant-heavy language in a cold region). Another evolutionary reason for the high vowel ratio in the case of Japanese may be that it makes each word easier to make out or differentiate than ending it with a consonant (as in English, which can be rough and hard to make out in a noisy environment or over a bad line), as this correlates with the Japanese considerate culture: when you make/utter something for other people, you make it easier for them to consume/hear it -- the bento-ifying of words.
establishment forbid camera can be because of they want to protect their customers privacy, not necessary they don't like camera due to sudden influx of foreign pranksters, Chinese little pinks and annoying streamers, unfortunately some establishment start to forbid camera use despite that, if you can ask politely in Japanese some can be persuaded to allow shooting kinda up there for language skill but if you can speak Japanese some will take that as a sign that at least you know the basic of acceptable Japanese manner
This is the season when the temperature difference is big and there is a lot of pollen scattering 😷🌲 I want you to take care of your health. have a nice trip! ⛷☃⛷☃
I'm Asian. Americans are also good at praising, it's like a fixed sentence, and I don't know what the real intention is, so sometimes I think it's scary. When I come to a foreign country, of course I feel uneasy, so I don't want to live in a few days.
I'm commenting in Japanese, sorry. I don't think there would be many people who would be offended by home movies that were just enjoyed by the family like in the past. Now that the Internet has become so popular, isn't it natural to feel anxious and disgusted about being left in a video you don't know how it will be used in a place you don't know about? In a world where good intentions were common, we wouldn't have to worry about that, but unfortunately there are many people who take advantage of it. Even if you share the footage with the world without any editing, In this world, there are people who misuse the footage by adding false subtitles to it based on the footage. I think it is almost impossible to completely erase data left on the Internet. Please respect others and other countries before insulting them. Anyone can do it just to live there, but if you want to fit in, make an effort to blend in and respect it. Sorry for the drunken nonsense. Also, I'm using a translator, so sorry if my English is weird.
Just love your travels and excitement, enthusiasm for all you experience in Japan. Hope you feel better soon. I’m going in May but going with a tour. It’s an inspiring to see how you react to the culture. Thank you so much looking forward to more adventures.😊
I am seventy eight and have always wanted to visit Japan, but things got in my way, so this is one off my bucket list! Only wish I could have traveled there solo, but still looking forward to the guided tour of this incredible country. Looking forward to meeting many Japanese people, love the way of life there.
From one Brit to another. These vlogs should be called “Bear Grylls survives Japan”. I’ve never met someone who sounds so much like Ramsey and Bear mixed
Don’t mean to come across as a dick. But for someone who’s RUclips is based around travel videos you don’t really seem to know much about where you’re travelling. The other video where you were blatantly recording everyone’s faces while they minding their own business in the ramen restaurant and also the chefs while cooking without even asking. Also tipping is a big no no in Japan, I think this is known worldwide and walking straight onto a shinkansen and sitting on the first seat you could find too. Kinda super basic things that should be common knowledge to not do, obviously you mean no harm but all these things could’ve been prevented by the tiniest research.
When I was in Japan a few decades ago, the exchange was completely flipped. It was like 1USD = 60JYP - so I totally understand. I want to go back while the Yen is weak - haha!
Actually, I can't believe you're walking around there in such a light jucket. We japanese people need to put the Canada goose on in NozawaOnsen definitely.
@@OliBarrettTravel They don't dance, sing, or play musical instruments, so they don't look like geishas. I think they are normal children because they wear casual kimonos and their hairstyles are simple. (I used google translate🫠)
