Sooo stunning right! I totally wasn’t expecting it to be that beautiful and when I arrived I was like 😍 🤯 Thanks for tuning in legend and glad you enjoyed it 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Every week I think this is the best yet and then you surpass yourself. Really enjoyed watching and learning more about Japan and its heritage. Keep them coming Christian😀
Thank you so much Julie! I keep trying to push it and give you all something a little better each week so I’m so glad to hear you are enjoying it. Really means alot! And was that you that donated to my Ko-Fi? If so, THANK YOU so much, really means so much to me and every bit helps to keep these videos coming your way. Appreciate it mate 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Haha nah thank you so much - every little bit goes a long way in helping me out over here! I really appreciate your constant kind words also mate 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Haha fantastic compliment! I would absolutely take a gig like that if it were to ever come up one day down the line. Getting to be so fortunate to see new places like this is such a treat, that’s why Im always smiling! Glad you enjoyed it buddy, appreciate the support as always 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Mate! Always coming through with kindness - THANK YOU so much man, truely means alot and next couple coffees are on you my dude 👍🏽 Appreciated legend 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
LEGEND! Always looking out for me and providing me with funds to fuel the coffee addiction haha thank you so much my friend. It’ll all come full circle when I finally get you over here 🙋🏽♂️ appreciate it Josh!
MATE!! I’m loving you out exploring and how I get to learn along with you! This was great, the TOTO museum, what! Also the underwater walk way and bamboo light annual show are musts! Thanks man!
How rad was that cave also hey! First time going deep into a cave like that, I was so stoked haha Such a good day out running around Kitakyushu! Had an absolute blast man. Get over here so we can go on some adventures 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Fun day out right! I reckon my favourite by far way the limestone cave - first timing doing something like that and now I want to do more haha Thanks so much Em 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Stunning hey! I did my best to capture it but it's just one of those things that's wayyy better in person. So many lights everywhere and a massive castle in the background. Really great vibe! Thanks for tuning in as always Tommy 🙋🏽♂🇯🇵
Christian, perfect filming, editing, and narration, highlighting some absolute gems of Kitakyushu. I had no idea about the Kanmon Tunnel. Do you know if bicycles are allowed, or is it foot traffic only? It would be great to know more about access options for visitors. How wonderful is Mojico, too? It looks similar to the marina area of Hakodate, Hokkaido, with its beautiful waterfront and historic atmosphere. Great work again mate!
What great feedback! Thank you so much mate - that’s so awesome to share so kind words 👍🏽 Yeah Kitakyushu really surprised me, it had some much that I didn’t know about. I’d always been used to just the rural suburbs visiting family. And yeah you can take bikes through the tunnel, but it costs ¥20 (not sure why even charge at that rate ha!) but you have to walk the bike through also. Mojiko is cool also right, so many European styled buildings and rad cafes harbour side. Didn’t feel like Japan there, was rad something different! Appreciate tuning in as always legend 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Hey Christian. Came here through your threads!!! Love the stuff you’re making! All the absolute best for the Japan Expo in Aus next month!!! You’re gonna crush it mate!
I really like that you can walk through a tunnel between the two islands. I did not know that existed. There’s an automobile tunnel by Detroit going to Windsor Canada. It’s the only international border that is underwater. Very cool travels today, mate! You’re going to make a great tour guide😎!
It’s so rad right! I didn’t know about it until I hot there and I was like, “this is actually super rad!” Haha I’d been to that area previously but never knew about the tunnel, so I had to share it! Oh is there really? That is so rad - so that means there is a full stop, check point, but all under ground and a mass of water??
@ the tunnel was built almost 100 years ago. The stop points are at each end of the tunnel. There will be a new bridge opening that will relieve some of the tunnel traffic. There is another older bridge. It is the busiest shipping bridge in the world. The old bridge is privately owned, the new bridge will be owned by the Canadian and US governments.
@ 100 years ago?? That’s wild, I didn’t even know that was possible back then. It’s reminding me of that movie ‘Daylight’ haha big flood in the tunnel haha New bridge sounds like good idea if its stacked with traffic!
@ the new bridge is going to expedite traffic. I can’t remember if it’s six lanes or not. I know that it’s going to have pedestrian and bicycle lanes. It’s a fantastic engineering marvel. It got connected over the summer. Now they are doing the finishing touches. Search Gordie Howe Bridge on RUclips, some interesting footage definitely.
@@hangswithchristianmy bad i mean doing that kind of video where you go camping in the wood! I don’t know if that’s your cup of tea lol or maybe it’s gonna be fun to go around saga when there’s saga balloon festival! I lived in Saga and wanna go back soon. Kinda missing that place ahah
Ohh true! Haha yeah I’ll be honest, I’ve never really been into camping myself but I’ve always like the ‘idea of it’ 🤣 so maybe we will see! I do want to visit that balloon festival, it looks soo awesome right. I didn’t know you can camp near it and watch it??
Haha thanks so much legend! Had so much fun on this one seeing and exploring places I never even knew existed in Kitakyushu. Was such a blast 💥 how rad was that cave?? 🤯 Appreciate the support as always mate 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Haha thanks legend - yep got the flippers wet on this one and it was so worth it. I reckon out of the whole day, that cave was my favourite! Like 1km deep into a mountain was soo surreal. One of the coolest experiences I’ve done in Kyushu so far I reckon! Appreciate the support legend 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
great stuff mate, I was there last year, kokura castle has the statues of musashi and kojiro depicting their epic duel in the kanmon strait, l loved learning the history there and plan to go back sometime.
I knew about it but I took the ferry across, the tunnel would’ve been good though! I stayed in kokura at jr kyushu hotel right at the station, it was great.
Oh thats so awesome! How do you like living in Kitakyushu?? At night time, the city really comes alive. So many great restaurants and bars around. Really nice vibe there 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
Another set of stunning locations, although while I don't really get claustrophobia in caves like that, UK's Channel 5 had a drama called Intruder where a man's wife did him in by leading him far into a dark cave, so he got disorientated, couldn't escape, and somehow, by morning, he was no more, even though in reality, that would take up to 18 days. Great video overall, too, and another with a very professional feel.It's like a segment from ITV's Wish You Were Here, when TV stations used to have programmes showing holiday destinations, and they'd tour a number of venues within the same area. I wonder if they have something like that in Japan you could appear on?
Appreciate you tuning in as always buddy - and glad you enjoyed it! It was super fun 🙋🏽♂️ Haha yeah that cave experience before going in I was surprised how far in we were going, like its a long way! But it quickly left my mind the fact I was almost 1 km deep into a mountain with one entrance haha. It was soo rad! And thank you so much for the kind feedback. Would love to make it onto Japanese TV, just to say I have done it haha. Though, never watch any Japanese TV here, it’s kind of like a constant ‘reacts’ channel every-time I watch something! 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
@@hangswithchristian No probs, and I've only seen clips of Japanese TV, but I think if I did live there, I'd be making great use of a VPN and watching TV from home 😬 I once appeared in a segment on Channel 4's Right To Reply, in 2001.

@@downundervlogs agreed, but then Christian would probably have to get a haircut!
Never mate! Haha ain’t no one changing me!
I liked how in depth the tea ceremony was
I was soo fortunate that the tea master allowed me to participate in the process. I felt so uncoordinated haha it was such a precise process!

great stuff mate, I was there last year, kokura castle has the statues of musashi and kojiro depicting their epic duel in the kanmon strait, l loved learning the history there and plan to go back sometime.
Ohh I missed that part! So much rad history around there. Did you know about that tunnel? I’m had no idea it existed haha so cool man!
I knew about it but I took the ferry across, the tunnel would’ve been good though! I stayed in kokura at jr kyushu hotel right at the station, it was great.
Kokura at night time really comes alive hey!
My eldest daughter lives in Kitakyushu, we also went to the Toto toilet museum and Kokura castle and town.
Oh thats so awesome! How do you like living in Kitakyushu?? At night time, the city really comes alive. So many great restaurants and bars around. Really nice vibe there 🙋🏽♂️🇯🇵
@@hangswithchristian I would have liked more time to explore.
Next time hopefully!
