Bullet train up to the Japanese Mountains 🇯🇵

- Today we are leaving the vibrant, bustling streets of Tokyo and heading up to Japanese mountains. It'll be a 2-hour journey up to the village of Nozawaonsen, sitting at just over 1000m. There, we will be skiing for two days (and it'll be my first time!).

Today starts off leaving my capsule hotel in Tokyo, one which I'd spent the previous 4 nights in. I then headed towards Ueno train station where I would meet the guys and we would take the bullet train up to Liyama. It was my first time on the Japanese high-speed rail, it was an enthralling experience.
We arrived at Liyama station by midday however we still needed to take a further 30 minute taxi before we arrived at our respective hotels in the ski village of Nozawaonsen.
I then checked into my hotel. At $50 USD per night, it was one of the cheapest hotels in the village. It was my first time staying in a traditional Japanese room so it was fun to learn new ways of doing things.
After settling in we explored the village, venturing into shops and eating locals snacks. By then it was dinner time where I tucked into some chicken broth ramen, which was incredible! Myself and Conner rounded off the night with a beer & chat in one of the many pubs/bars in the village.

ようこそ日本へ！55年前にスキーに行った民宿と焼肉屋がまだありびっくり！
This dude is so westy, walking around eating😂😂😂
Kevin spacey looked so annoyed sitting in the middle of a conversation on the train😂😂😂
ようこそ日本へ❤🇯🇵
日本に遊びに来てくれてありがとう。💮🗾🗻🏯☺️
Welcome to Japan! ❤🇯🇵
Thanks for coming to visit us in Japan.💮🗾🗻🏯☺️
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!
意外にもお店が沢山あるんですね。
面白かったです。
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 really like your videos!!
Thank you for coming to Japan😊
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.
@@LiquidKnees There is a move to ban live streamers in Japan. The government will be pushing for this.
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.
Happy to hear you're enjoying them 😊
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! ⛷☃⛷☃
Your excitement is infectious! Hope you had fun!
何もかもストレートでほんとおもしろいリアルで楽しい❤
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!
貴方方の歴史的人間性を考えて頂きたく願います。
又日本国を無資源であるという事も貴方自信滑稽です。
I think this is the vlog of a real foreign traveler. It is interesting to watch as a Japanese. I'm looking forward to your next video!
おもしろーい！この動画大好き❤日本に来てくれて有難うございます。
私は大阪に住んでいます！
あなたの動画が大好きです！
ぜひ大阪にも来てください！
日本へようこそ！
楽しい旅行を🎵
We shall be there soon 😎

Welcome to Japan!

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.
Japan is class
I love your japan videos. I will fly to japan in 1 month for a 2 week vacation and your videos are perfect for hyping me up. Keep up the great work!

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.
Nice video
Thanks :)
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.
新幹線🚄に乗る前に、駅の売店で、日本全国で作られたお弁当🍱が売っています。❤❤最高に美味しいですよ。外の景色みながら、駅弁を食べる。最高なので一度、食べて見て下さい👋👋
おやき、美味しいよね
It's lovely!
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.
Yeah they don’t like their notes folded or defaced . Some of the coins they use are such low value they hardly worth keeping.
Many Japanese people do not like to be shot by cameras because we are descendants of Ninja😹
日本の新幹線🚄は、世界一です。地震が多い日本で一度も、人身事故ありません。世界一の新幹線🚄です❤❤
The mountains of Yamagata City are also waiting for you.
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.
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
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.
That makes a lot of sense from hearing the stories of the German's I've met!
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.
You'd be surprised how warm the fleece is! Also wearing some thermal under garments but yeah it was still a bit cold haha 😆
せっかく日本にきたのですからのんびり日本を満喫してほしい。世界中に発信しているのはわかりますが、もったいないですよ
それぞれの楽しみ方でいいじゃないかー
Dude, I like your enthusiasm, but you should really investigate the cultural norms there. You break a social taboo every 30 seconds lol.
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.
Google him. Just found out he's a paid apologist for China... as in he and his father are employees of the Chinese government 😝
Even weirder is him trying to tip despite being a Brit and having lived in China for 3 years.
@@wildreeds At least he’s been keeping away from his father who’s even worse.
There’s plenty of info on how to get around Japan and where to stay etc.
A little research would have been helpful.
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
First time I've heard that! haha
I like your vlogging camera setup. What are you using? Did it come with the hands-free mount? Osmo action 3 or 4?
I'm using the Osmo action 4. I bought the neck mount separately from Ulanzi.
Bruh was so hard to watch. I mean he gets the gaijin pass, but jeez. Cmon bro do some research
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.😊
Thank you! Have fun on your trip there :)
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.
温泉、おんせん😊😊
That's hilarious, I watched that same segment on that TV show.
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.
Well you should enjoy the weak yen while it lasts. The last time I was in Japan 1USD equalled 70JPY and everything was a lot more expensive there.
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!
気になるのは１人で歩いてる時はまだしも、新幹線の車内とかで撮影用に延々と話し続けているのは周囲の迷惑にならないのかな？
ユ―チュ―ブならアフレコ使うとか工夫して、大勢の人が留まっている公衆の場所では考えた方がいいのではないかな？
電車でシーンとしてるの日本くらいらしいぞ
四六時中ペチャクチャ喋るわけでもないのに周囲の迷惑ってさ・・・日本人は気にしすぎだと思う

Oops... showing my ignorance again 😂
Could you tell me what it is?
@@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🫠)

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.
日本語を勉強して日本人の友だちつくってね😊😊
Hello Oli, I think you need a winter coat
Haha yes, I could have done with one although you'd be surprised how warm the fleece is!
that bar looks so fucking cool man
Omg why didnt you researched before...it is sometimes so uncomfortable to watch you in this blog. Please do us a favor a research more!
一般人を許可なく顔を晒しすぎ！ 仲間以外の撮影には配慮してほしい。
An annoying streamer named Johnny Soma ruined everything.
