NOTIFICATION SQUAD: And I thought ET was terrifying. I think post-modern Humpty Dumpty scares me even more.
5 days, 1,000km, 8 years of waiting, but we got what we came for. SCREENSHOT IT. PUT IT ON YOUR WALL. TELL THE WORLD. The weird guy from Abroad in Japan saw Mount Fuji. The only question remains, who snapped the best photo? And DON'T MISS the Natsuki cameo.
First sup chris
Hi
Ok
This comment was made 8 mins ago but the vid has been out for 18 seconds?... Oh youtube
We love you weird British man!
INNIT.
BRUV
CHEWSDAY
Sad English man noises😢
oi innit bruv
Roit propah
The Natsuki cameo was incredible. I'm dumbfounded by the fact that Hollywood films don't hire him to do one in every film.
Precisely.
Natsuki should make a vídeo with youtuber Jablinsky Games, aka, Jack Black
You mean he should be Stan Lee's replacement in all future Marvel Movies?
Dude's like Japan's Michael Peña
Hollywood isn't worthy of such talent.
The British weather follows the British man everywhere he goes.
nice
"You can leave the island but you can't leave the weather!"

So does America. The Teddy Bear is American. :) Named after the manliest Us President Theodore 'Teddy' Roosevelt. He was shot while campaigning for President and gave a 90 minute speech before going to the hospital.
Meanwhile our current Congress has 10,000 US Military stationed to guard them because a few people broke in and took selfies in the Congressional Building. Those brave men and women of Congress were nearly murdered by those selfies. Especially the ones like Alexandria Cortez who weren't actually there. That brave woman barely escaped with her life. She has bravely tweeted that it was an attempt on her life. It doesn't matter that nobody was armed and that she wasn't actually there.
@@Arigator2 it wasn't the Selfies although breaking into a federal building is worse than BandE..... you should know that before you break the law! Also smashing Windows to get in isn't taking selfies.... they weren't Brave.... I understand you believe something that I don't but that's not the way you get it that's the way you get the law to come down on you. You know a couple police officers died of brain injuries later right they were physically assaulting people to get in. if you look up RUclips videos of the actual camera footage of the rioters it's much more violent the crazy part is the rioters are the ones posting it. the news deemed anything violent too violent for television.
@@ashleyburbank3129 - you mean all the things that were happening by left wing thugs for the whole year? they cheered that on. well no, they didn't shoot anybody and they didn't light buildings on fire. so a lot less.
wait, you trust the news?
I can imagine that whole day was Chris, saying "Joey, it's Mt. Fuji" every 3 minutes like an excited toddler
Yeah, they probably just cut the rest out
Yeah I can see that lol
I truly am conk...
Every 3 minutes? I think you mean every minute lol
🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎
So sad Chris had to CGI that Mount Fuji into the video.. tut tut.. >.
True! It was a classic mistake that gave it away, I saw the reflection of Natsuki holding up the green screen!
My head canon
Joey is actually a cgi
He’s in chris head he’s not real
You have got to be the last person i expected to see a comment from on Chris his channel. :O
bro he ain't fooling me
how do u guys have such good catchy eyes I didn't even noticed that
This has got to be Chris' best day ever, He gets family mart fried chicken, sees mount Fuji, visit his homeland and gets an I'm not fat shirt from a Japanese man
How can he top this? He can't. He has to become a magical woodland spirit next, or I don't know what. I'm just so happy for the man.
It was very weird to see him so happy 😆
Only thing that would make it better would be Risottoro in disguise as a Bearskin Guard, waiting for his chance.
@@Kelvin_Foo How would that be good for Chris? That would be the opposite of good.
@@ThreadBomb Risottoro wouldn't have his tuna sword, or any kind of sword on him, so I guess Chris would have a fighting chance
British man in Japan visiting a British theme park? Reminds me of when the Simpsons visited Japan; "Dad, we didn't come halfway around the world to eat at Americatown."
this looks life fucking bavaria or Wurtemberg to me
@@user-jl9tg6lw3u The streets were far too clean to be England
OMFG I referenced this exact scene in the video he did on CdawgVA’s channel where they go to Dreamton!
@@willku9000 yes
@@willku9000 yes
the shirt would have been even more hilarious with "Im not fat, Im British" 🤣😂
How does Chris manage to get 2 of his 3 photos with the Japanese language in it?! completely failed the challenge, Joey wins by default
he may have failed the challenge, but he did get a selfie with "pleas note the thorno of the rose", which is a win by itself
As long as he doesn't record the roses filming a thorno we can all sleep happy😈.
Never take sides against the channel host...
I hate to admit it but you’re right.
@@AbroadinJapan Joey's best pic is "Barbershop on the corner". Chris's best pic is "Who's driving this thing?" I'll have to give the win to Chris because his pic contains a genuine British person -- so authentic!
The UK Margaret photo might have won if Chris had used his head to block out the Japanese writing.
"look, it's not a greenscreen!" *proceeds to only touch foreground objects*
I've been rumbled!
Would have took him a while to touch Mt Fuji.
You mean proceeds to fondle only Joey 😁
At least touch the bushes just behind you!
So satisfying for Chris to actually see Mt Fuji!!
Spoiler! Your comment appeared right under the video, now the suspense is gone... 😢
Conk is here
❤️ u CZsWorld 🥺
ngl I thought this comment was sarcastic at first because I didn’t believe Chris was going to see Mt Fuji 😅🤣 My apologies Chris
Nah this is fake footage
"Pleas note the thorno of the rose"
Yep. That's British alright
every rose has it's thorno!
XD
Spot on my friend . Did you like the london bus or Routemaster as it was known best double decker bus in the world at the time .
If you use a Welsh accent it sounds alright lol.
Innit
Its obvious Chris wrote the suggestion so he could see the motherland once more :3
I see you @RuffledRowlit ! Fan of yours and its great to see you loving Chris' work too!
Broad is a true man
Omg never expected to see ruffled here. Love ya mate
:3
‘obviouse’
The illusion was shattered when i realised that the train was running on time.
🤣
So tru smh
Or that there wasn't a replacement bus service
It IS Japan after all.
Park manger was like "perfect business opportunity."
and it is working. id bring my mom there XD
a real british person in his park!, thats something special!
Should I give him a melon? No.
Sandals!
Now, he's like "STONK"
I remember once going to a "British" pub in the Philippines. I ordered fish and chips and it was horrible, so I sent it back. The Chef came out and I told him I could cook better at home. He asked me to prove it! Long story short he kept my reciepe and we all got a free meal. It turns out he was not letting the oil get hot enough before putting the battered fish in. I also put calamansi juice (a type of citrus fruit) on top.
Mt. Fuji is a dormant strato-volcano, which means it still has a magma chamber, but it's currently empty, so it probably won't erupt for a while. Either way, I hope they have a plan for when it _does_ erupt.
So they CAN go fishing IN mount fuji technically
guess i know what will happen on January 1st 2021
They're Japanese of course they have a plan! It's called... Godzilla.
Er....run away really fast ?
It would be like Pompeii if it did erupt. When I went the tour lady told us it would be hard to escape since the blast radius would include most of Tokyo
>Chris receives a shirt saying "I'm not fat" from the manager.
Yeah pretty obvious that manager has been a fan for a while, lmao.
Now available in XXXL size!
What an amazing development. Manager dude is eternally awesome for that.
Everyone wearing that shirt immediately goes into oki doki mode.
Funny how Chris had to go back to the UK to see Mt. Fuji.
I've lived in Japan for almost 18 years and I cannot tell you how many times I have traveled between Nagoya and Tokyo and almost always Mt. Fuji was covered in clouds. I even flew back to America on a day of clear skies, only to fly over the mountain and SURPRISE, a ring of clouds covered the mountain!!!! Aaaargh!!!
Absolutely loved Natsuki's cameo at the end. 😂😂😂
"Every time I go to see it it's pulled out the station"
I see they have simulated the UK experience perfectly.
Every time I try to catch a train into London 👍
Couldn't quite believe those selfies-too sunny.
good one, need to have foggy, rainy, least cloudy wheater. Fun thing though, each time I go visit UK its quite nice weather, better than the mainland Europe.
@@peervermeiren8902 Nice of you to say but you're incredibly lucky for that to have been the case. UK is known for bad weather for a reason lol.
I agree! Ironically the cloudy mount fuji looked a lot like the UK compared to the selfies.
Funny how the one day the rainy weather cleared up for them to see Mt Fuji was the day they did UK selfies
Exactly
Not even "Japan's British theme park," but "Japan's _BIGGEST_ British theme park."
“Breathing room for the coming era” sounds ominous
Yes The British-Nippon Empire is coming for your countries shit.
Seriously, this park has seen the future and it is a dark place.
It's really all about the FishFlops!!
I'll bet hands down that nobody guessed when Chris finally DID get to see Fuji that it would be overshadowed by the good ol' UK Margaret lol
It's the Norm innit.
Lol I was thinking what if he found Mount Fujibin Britian few hours later this video pops out
This series, along with Never Ending Cycle of Despair, are some of my favorite things on RUclips. Seriously, so good.
Yea I was waiting for this episode aswell, really good series 💯
Agreed
@@angelinoelle Ditto!
such high production quality!
Ngl I was hoping that the cycle of despair would be back. I want to see Chris and his PTSD
I legit since a kid, wanted to open a pub called the queens legs. so people could ask me, what time the queens legs open for a drink....
:)
:)
:)
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
all fun and games till the queen walks in with a pistol
Took me 6mins to go:
"Woah there's a silent cameraman with them"
'Thorno of the Rose' is my favourite medieval era classic rock band
hands down best band
I love how sinister Natsuki was. Like a Bond villain plotting his revenge.
Chris has finally achieved his dream of becoming James Bond.
this one possibly could be Natsuki The Movie 2 XD
Chris: Do you expect me to talk?
Natsuki: No, Mr. Broad I expect you to eat fried chicken.
Apparently I've been victim of the "Abroad in Japan" curse as well--I visited Japan on a 5 day business trip in 2019 and I was so excited to be able to go during Sakura season. While the cherry blossoms were absolutely breathtaking and I enjoyed all of the festivities surrounding the season ... the view of Fujiyama-san was completely shrouded in POLLEN for my short 5 day trip. I was so disappointed. :(
But I hope to return someday, especially after having found this channel! Maybe I'll try my luck in autumn ...
Hey Samantha, How you doin?
@@aryanraj6304 I'm doing well, man. How are you?
@@samanthabeaty4578 Really didn't expect a reply 😂🙌.
I'm amazing, would you want to continue this somewhere else?
Yikes
@@aryanraj6304 too fast homie. Gotta tickle the nipple before striving for the dive.
chris and joey has a weird chemistry that just works idk, chris being a foreigner but has actually lived and loved the country for several years and joey being a hafu that knows that culture but hasnt stayed in the country until recently, its amusing how it works out, really love this duo
Japanese are the most polite people
Shopkeeper: gifts Chris a "I'm not fat" shirt
Aha subtle...
I love how they're both nice and straight up
Alternate title for this series:
Chris and Joey go on a 7 day date while Chris tries to prove himself to his viewers.
lmao XD
hmmm... dont stimulate the fujoshi minds like me. hahaha
Alternate Alternate title for this series:
Chris cheats on Natsuki with Joey
Built in ‘90. Who’s one of the most famous Brits of that era? Margaret Thatcher.
And then she got binned in 1990. Thank goodness.
Did they have a fish & chip shop at this place. The Japanese cooks would do a brilliant job in making it .
I'm not 40 yet...but my thought was ""am I that old?" That's obviously for Margaret Thatcher."
"Who's Driving This Thing?" has got to be the winner
Hot damn, in the blink of an eye Chris goes from the disgruntled Englishman we all know and love to probably the most genuinely happy we’ve ever seen him.
Kinda creepy. I almost called an exorcist 😉
That’s what a night of drinking in the U.K. Margaret does to you...
Chris, the most animated I've ever seen him and standing in front of the fulfilment of his long and dearly held dream:
"...a relatively good day."
That's the most British (and thus most unJapanese) thing -- which means Chris won the challenge when he wasn't even trying.
@@therealninjess That is true 😆
Love all those "British" timber-framed houses with perfectly accurate construction and modern tile roofs.
In this episode of Top Gear
Chris goes home, Joey visits a train, and Natsuki is not here
Natsuki's momentary super villain vibe at the end cracked me up.
@Mia Smith Nice try Risottoro but you ain't fooling me
wahh ill miss this series so much 😭
It’s been a joy to produce! We’ll have to get a final series made early next year. The best things come in trilogies!
@@AbroadinJapan Final? 😭 After that no more Journey Across Japan?
This should definitely be a yearly thing my man. Short week long road trip to an odd area of japan.
Same
Me too - it has been great viewing kinda got that 'wish you were here' show music/vibe. Really enjoyed - thank you for sharing with us... looking forward to the last episode and maybe more series in the future. 🤞
I briefly "worked" at a "british theme park" in fukushima back in the day
still one of the singularly weirdest experiences I have ever had
You can't use so many quotes without explaining further. It's illegal and I'll make sure you get dealt with by the fullest extent of the law if you don't cough up the details.
@@Flamerate1 There's a place in Fukushima Prefecture known as British Hills. Many schools have field trips there every year and it's kind of an "English camp" for them. He is probably talking about that lol. and "work" is maybe, he was an ALT or got paid for a school's trip to help out with their english trip. Just my guesses at all the quotation marks haha
@@sarahr2925 jury's gonna get his ass
@@clementineattr219 I was in 9th(?) grade and over winter break or something they were like "hey you wanna go up north and work with kids from a certain prestigious middle school"
anyways the kids were strange--I remember this one guy would point at the kids he doesn't like and go "mind crush" every day
also, the actual staff who worked there were all deeply exhausted new zealanders who were (as I understand now) most likely inaka ALTs who found this to be a much more profitable, if dancing-monkeyish, job
some guy having a meltdown because he couldn't get the visitors to understand the difference between Scone and scone
I've got to say this sound design is really on point! One thing I love most about this channel. Not just fancy cameras, even more fancy editing!!!
I hope this comment makes the thousands of hours worth it haha
0:55 So are we all just gonna ignore how smooth that transition was
Not the first time he pulled that exact shot
@@isnitjustkit DEJA VU
京都いいよね👍って思ったら違った
The master at work 🙏🏼
Yus iyam
Wait, it's not *actually* called "Eng-Land"? God, SUCH a missed opportunity.
lol, well the UK has 3 other countries in it.
@@MoodyMooMoo I think because he meant of "英国" being literally translated as "Eng-land"
engu lando
Being dutch this sounds wierd
i mean we are talking about japanese english skills here, i think you have too high expectations haha
I think this is the happiest I've ever seen Chris, it's genuinely so sweet to see how excited he got. This day of the trip really *was* his day
Joey has the least Japanese looking photos. "The barbershop on the corner" But to be fair pretty Chris was just going for laughs.
Fun fact, "innit" is british for desu
Thanks for that precious info, gentleman
It's actually a pretty spactacularly literal translatation of, "DATTEBAYO!", which is kinda hilarious, given the source in this video.
My life has been forever changed
@@Taurusus wait
Naruto is British now?!
@@sivvinod3187 Believe it!
Worth the wait - what a view!!! 🇯🇵🗻
No way real youtube?
ah cool hey youtube
Whoaaa
Swee! Didn't see RUclips official account actually commenting Chris' videos coming lol.
Mr. RUclips himself
If this is Japan's biggest British theme park... does this mean there's more?
Good question!
Golavers world, warrington but its been transported to Japan
We British haven't lost our touch just yet, Japan is getting colonised next!
"it's beginning to feel like a week long date with Joey" --*pulls up to a makeout spot 2 episodes later*
Can’t believe the curse is finally over, congrats Chris!
It took 5 days, but at last we discovered the sun.
He will never see it again now...
@@AbroadinJapan "At last we discovered the sun" words every Brit dreams of saying one day 😉
Now that Chris has got his shot of Fuji-san, he can retire. He will shut down the channel and become a mountain hermit. There will be occasional sightings of him. As the years turn to decades, he will slip into legend. Parents will tell their children about the Oni in the mountain who steals children who don't listen to their parents. And in the far future, the mountain Oni will become incorporated into Japanese folklore alongside Amaterasu and Susanoo.
Well done Chris and Joey 🥳
The demon who steals children carrying family mart chicken.
More likely just the demon that steals fried chicken 🍗😂
And the children will learn to fear it's scream of terror: Oi, that's chicken i smell, innit!?
Many offers of family mart chicken are left at the Oni shrine in the hopes to calm the angry spirit.

@@SephiMasamune This one had me laughing so hard 🤣
"Back at the UK Margaret" was best photo, followed by the bear bus
Everything in Japan looks so clean and polite. Amazing culture. Cheers! 🎉
I’m not sure if I really looks foreign, but “Who’s driving this thing” was by far the best photo.
A nice play on the perspective makes it quite the picture, I reckon.
Same
Agree! Sorry Joey...
If it wasn't for the Japanese writing underneath U.K. Margaret, that could easily fool me into thinking it was a selfie in Chester :)
The UK Margaret photo might have won if Chris had used his head to block out the Japanese writing.
lol
I don’t know why they felt the need to put the Japanese equivalent of a period “。” after Margaret 😂
My favorite Engrish I've ever seen I actually saw in the real UK, in Manchester. The conveyor belt walkways in the airport were out of order and had a sign written:
"Apologise for the inconvenience."
This wouldn't happen it if were in the US, because we'd know there's a difference between 'apologize' and 'apologies' going on here, but not in the UK!
I said I was sorry.
It almost felt like this is the peak moment of Abroad in Japan history. Props to you Chris, and thank you for taking us along on this wonderful journey!
hahahaha....peak moment....nice
Chris: This is not a green screen
...

*proceed to touch Joey
Joey was CGI all along
@@germanpenn LMAO
"Who's driving this thing" is the best photo.
I am from Stratford upon Avon and can confirm this is basically exactly the same.
Part of me was hoping that Mt. Fuji would laugh at you ominously from within its cocoon of cloud for the remainder of the trip, forever invisible... but it is a sight to behold, isn't it?
I've never been to Japan, I really, really want to go there one day... and I hope to catch a view of it myself. I did receive a card from someone last year while doing a card exchange to brighten people's day during lockdowns across the world... and my card happened to come from a US lady stationed at an army base somewhere in Japan and she sent me a card of Mt. Fuji while not knowing that I'm quite the Japan nerd. Best gift I've gotten all year.
The most unrealistic thing about that theme park was the Sky,
I haven't seen a Blue Sky in Weeks. 0/10 there is no Daylight in England.
Especially these days, it's dark all the goddamn time in winter.
Ye true 😂
I don't envy you. Today in Slovakia we had azur sky. It was great to improve your mood. I hope you get to feel it soon!
They did film that back in August, though.
@@Soul3volutioN you’re just wonderful 😊
_Every rose has its thorno,_

Seriously, tho, "Who's Driving This Thing" wins.
Been watching your travels for a couple years now Chris. Wife and I were in China teaching for a couple of years (until Jan. 2019) and recently returned stateside. Still watch your content weekly. I can honestly say nothing puts me in a better mood than turning on a new AiJ video. Just thought you should know, all these years later, you're still making people's day better.
I've never seen Chris this happy, it's amazing
Natsuki makes everything so good. His last scene at the end is gold.
Post credit scene. Tokyo Creative assemble!
Oi! Spoilers
Idk why but seeing this British park just made me think about the person who made it and how much they must have loved the UK to dedicate an entire park to it. It warmed my heart.
Absolutely love these series. Some of the best content
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your content! just absolute perfection. Its always so friendly and inviting
That "next time I'll go too" from Natsuki sounded so threatening

Oh God Japan why don't you hire translators😂😂
just like the brands you would find in anime.
-Chinese- Japanese Knock-offs
Yeah that Star Wasabi T-shirt was the best.
Loved all your videos thanks😘🤩🤩🤩🤩
Wow... that view of Mt. Fuji at the end is amazing!
“If all roses have thorno....”
- who’s driving this thing 2020
Roses have thorno
And so does Risottoro.
New Tee I think 😁
Chris is now officially not fat. The T-shirt has spoken!
I agree lol
Chris, the drone shots are absolutely tremendous. I really really really love it!
some of those shots are truly amazing. the production quality is so great on this channel
Seeing Chris' pictures took me right back to the nights drinking at U.K. Margaret, catching a ride back in the Romney, and falling asleep in my rose garden.
Literally snortled at that. :)
And yet, I bet there's an Eton-ite would could boast that XD
I hope you took care to avoid the thorno of the rose!
Who’s driving this thing has to be the best, but I was left quite unsettled by natsuki’s sinister appearance as a pseudo Bond villain
Thank you, Chris and Joey! This series has been my go-to place for the last couple of months! Seriously so good!
What a beautiful shot of Mt. Fuji! Must be breathtaking to actually see it in person 😍
"I snuck into a train station" was the most non-Japanese, but "Who's driving this thing!?" was the best
Except I've never seen a British train station like that.
@@ThreadBomb Same... I use the rail system a lot too xD
"Oh no, I broke the UK" No worries mate, we already broke it ourselves.
Closing shot with song @15:00 is great!!!! Love your camera work!
Their were some really cool shots here
Chris being happy really puts a smile to my face 😀
I'm thorno between 'who's driving this thing' and 'I snuck into a train station' 😂
Chris knocks over chair, “I broke the UK”.
This is just SO enjoyable. I mean, its so well shot, the music works really nicely, the guys are fun, the premise is great--and I'm learning so much about Japan. Thanks to Chris and everyone who put this together! 🌸
7:13 WHAT A GORGEOUS SHOT
But like seriously the quality of this content is literally immaculate
Lots of cameras to help pick the best shots helps make the series look amazing. I always enjoy the big panoramic shots of the horizon and the terrain they visit.
That drone camera must be so much fun to use.
It really is head and shoulders ahead of other J Content. I still watch many others, but Chris is the Hollywood of J Content
*chefs kiss*
"Who's driving this thing?" is my vote. Have to say this series is super entertaining. I'll be so sad when it's over. Well done you guys!!
"Thorno of the rose" is my favourite 😁😁
I really enjoy your uploads. Big smile on my face today.
"Next time I'll go too" Natsuki already teasing Journey Across Japan 3
The manager of the theme park was probably ecstatic to meet a real British person
These are such satisfying and thoroughly entertaining travel videos, really professionally presented, constantly interesting and totally fresh and great fun. I love the 70s/80s style music, travel style 50s music with the interjected toot toots where necessary. I’m addicted.
