You pick the best accommodations, Shinichi! A centrally located hotel which is cheap, clean, and with all necessary amenities--even a washer/dryer. Who needs more? The 7-Eleven food looked great, as always. So much better than the junk food in American convenience stores. Thanks for taking us along.
I just heard there was a 7.3 earthquake centered around Fukushima about 45 minutes ago. I know you felt it pretty strongly in Tokyo. Sending fervent prayers that you're both okay and that there are no big aftershocks. I'm also praying for everyone nearer the epicenter, and hoping there is no tsunami. Love to you both ❤️❤️ and to everyone in Japan who has been affected.
This hotel has everything a traveler needs and a bath perfect. I wish we had 7/11in New Zealand Japan has a really great selection. I love pickled vegetables the Tskemono yum. Tskonomiyaki amazing 👏 ,7/11in Hiroshima excellent variety of food ,drinks and dessert. Thankyou Shinichi this makes me hungry now 💛💛💛👍.😉
So happy to see a new video! I love your hotel videos, it's such a difference the high quality of cleanliness and amenities you get for the price compared to the US! Thank you for your channel 😊
As a former housekeeping manager and house cleaner I have a love/hate relationship with hotel videos bc I can't help but notice everything that's been poorly cleaned lol
Lightly salted seaweed chips make a lot of sense. Seaweed has the kind of briny taste to it so it's already inherently salty. You don't need a ton of salt to make them taste good. I would love to try those someday. Japanese snacks always have such interesting flavours. I would also love to try Okonomiyaki someday.
Watching this while eating vegetarian maki rolls (has cucumber, radish and avocado in it, and of course the nori, topped with avocado and sesame seeds) from a newly opened sushi restaurant in my town- they opened on the 3rd of March. I’m not a big fan of nori, nor am I a fan of avocado, but I do like sushi rice and was craving it today and I prefer avocado over fish generally. Have to say, these rolls are amazing! Definitely going to that restaurant again and may also venture into trying their options with salmon sometime. Felt it was fitting watching a video from Japan while enjoying my dinner today :)
thanks for taking us along with you again - it’s fascinating that you can get “a meal” at a convenience store - haven’t been in a 7-11 in yrs - hot dogs, soft drinks and snacks were pretty much the food stuffs available then - I’d enjoy having a meal like you shared with us 😷🙏🇨🇦
I missed 7-11 in Japan. The variety of food and drinks they offer is huge. I really appreciate the free wifi and clean toilets that they have. Great video, thank you for showing Hiroshima getting back to being normal.
This is one city I would like to visit with my wife when things calm down and return to somewhat normal. Its history is why I want to visit. We are looking at just visiting for the day from Kyoto and returning to Kyoto the same day using the JR line to get there (if possible)
You can do it in one day but you won't have a lot of time in Hiroshima. It's about 2 hours between Kyoto to Hiroshima via Shinkansen. The Peace Memorial is very near the train station, but, you don't want to rush around the area. Take some time to explore the grounds + the memorial museum. If you can stay overnight, you can make a day-trip to Miyajima Island as well which is worth it for the views.
Maybe I am biased because I live in Hiroshima (and maybe dont find it as special anymore!) but it seems to me you could have a decent trip in one day. Things like Peace Park, museum, Hiroshima castle, shukkein etc are all located close to each other. If you came early in the morning by shinkansen, you could probably see all of those things in the morning, go to Miyajima in the afternoon, come back for dinner in the city and take a shinkansen back after that. I also dont mind having a few drinks on long shinkansen rides (about 100mins), so that might influence my opinion. However, because I am lazy, I would probably stay one night and maybe go see a Hiroshima Carp game or something in the evening, have a walk around to see the city at night, then return the next morning to Kyoto. There are many relatively cheap options for places to stay in Hiroshima, as this video shows you!
Hiroshima is such a lovely city! That place is really nice for that price!! In Australia, it'd be at least twice that price, and wouldn't have all the amenities included! Great food choices too! My absolute favourite is tsukemono, especially daikon!
Oh I'm saving the name of this hotel for sure :D Perfect location. Not too far away from the Peace Memorial Park. Good to know Choya umeshu is available in konbini's. I love that umeshu.
Really enjoyed that, thank you for sharing :-) I'd love to get hold of a set of those mugs and maybe the pjs - my name is Robin so you could see why lol ;-) I always appreciate your interesting and informative videos.
I love Dinner from 7-11 once and a while. I travel to Thailand a lot on business ( when it is possible) If I am super busy I love the selection there.! it is really similar to Japan 7-11's..
Thank you for sharing this is a great hotel for a decent price .Last time we stayed in Hiroshima we paid a lot we had 2 rooms as there was four of us this would be great next visit.
In the U.S., you certainly do not get the amenities you get in Japan. Most are the cheapest on the market and some places charge for them. A room like that would be $100 a night. I used to work in the hotel industry so I have a clue. All single use shampoo's. Usually no conditioners. Be glad you get all those thing in Japan!!
Great video. The Hotel at 29 dollars , what a bargain would definitely stay there if given a chance to visit Hiroshima. The standard of the 7 eleven food was excellent and I love plum wine, been a while since I had some.Your video has put me in the mood for some 😂 Will have to get a bottle in for the holidays 🤤. Looking forward to more videos. Arigato 👍😀
Is it me, or do the Japanese take food a bit more seriously than Americans do? I'm always amazed at the variety and quality of food that you present to us from different cities, even the kind sold in convenience stores.
Oooh, ¥3500 per night seems really good. I paid only a little less for a capsule hotel in Kyoto. I should look for places like this next time I can go to Japan.
With the rise of streaming services, I wonder if hotel rooms will begin to do away with tvs in rooms and getting rid of cable . I think there’s still going to be a decent maybe not demand but want of it, but I won’t be surprised if in the future they get rid of them. It would save them a decent chunk of money I’m sure
Shinichi, how comfortable are people in not having a staff at the front of desk? In the USA, without staff the hotel would be a mess. Without someone monitoring operations, security and theft issues would make the hotel not profitable. Thanks fur the video
$29.71 a night? I thought that was a typo at first. The hotel is beautiful. The room looked clean & comfortable (even had pajamas) & the bathroom had nice amenities. You would not find that here in the U.S. Maybe a run down motel infested with bed bugs & roaches. ew
Hotels with self-service laundry, like the hotel in this video, are always appealing to me. This stylish hotel costs less than $30 per night. In a four-star or five-star hotel, laundry ALONE could cost more than $30.
What a deal for 29 dollars. I think is so low because, One it’s off season. Japanese would be traveling during spring break which starts during the last week of March. Two, corona pandemic has caused reduced travelers over all. No foreign tourists to fill rooms. It’s better than being empty. I would imagine the price will get higher once Spring Break hits and people go on vacation. Though people tend to travel outside the city during those times maybe not that much higher. Probably 60 bucks tops. Even then it would be a deal. Cheap Motels in Murica are notorious for being really filthy.
Wow only ¥3500 for a twin room? That's such a low price that it's almost too good to be true. Is it a discounted price? I'm guessing it's an off-season price as well.
Such good value! I stayed at a hotel with my fiance last weekend, for triple the amount, and the amenities weren't as good as the ones this hotel provided! I feel cheated! Do your research people!
I do actually find things I don’t like now and then, but not that often. When I do though, I usually end up not reviewing the place. Also I love all kinds of food and I usually stay away from stuff I don’t normally like.
Hello I am watching your videos from Bengaluru, India. I love your videos. I am a vegetarian. I would like to know of there are any authentic vegetarian dishes of Japan with no meat added,not even egg.😃
We have a cuisine called Shojin Ryoji which is vegetarian. Also vegetarian food is more available these days. However they aren’t as easily found compared to western countries

One of the things I loved most when backpacking in Japan was the affordable accommodations

Thinking like a Brit, seaweed-flavoured chips would probably be really good as well 😋
Thats cheap? I call that nice accomdations! oh my... I was drooling while watching you sample the 711 foods.... 🤤

@@Genthar ok, thank you for the tip. The memorial museum the one place we definitely want to go to.
Your looking at about 4 hours or travel, not really worth it just for one day

Nice and beautiful place at Hiroshima. Thanks you for your sharing 😍
What a beautiful journey. Thank you so much for your time and effort.
… I’m jealous about that desert you had, it looked so good!
It was amazing!
@@IWillAlwaysTravelforFood you’re a lucky guy Shinichi-san! Just caught wind of the big quake that hit your area, hoping you and Satoshi-san are safe!
Greetings from America. I really enjoy your travel videos!!
Oh I'm saving the name of this hotel for sure :D Perfect location. Not too far away from the Peace Memorial Park. Good to know Choya umeshu is available in konbini's. I love that umeshu.

I am from Hong Kong. I have been to Hirishima 2 times. I loved Japan 7/11 and miss Japan so much!
Satoshi, thank you for existing and for providing us such delightful content in these horrible times 😘
$30 bucks...holy moly...looked like a pretty good deal, seemed very clean. Was it close to sight seeing things?
Very close actually. It’s right in the middle of the city where all the shops and eateries are located.
👀Always a AWESOME & DELICIOUS adventure wherever you go in your videos-Please STAY SAFE & continue your wonderful journeys!!!!👏👏🤙⚡️
That parfait looked friggin’ amazing!
7Eleven meals in Japan are great!! Now the USA: not so much. What a nice hotel!
U.S. meals at 7-11 are not very good? How shocking!🤣
Hope yall are well after the quake today sending tons of love
A lovely hotel and a good dinner from the convenience store!
OH! HOW I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! will do watch all your contents. I just discovered you today

Wow have fun enjoy your 7-11 meal it looked yummie take care stay safe 👍❤️🏵️😘🥰🤩😍😘
What a great hotel. Glad to see a new video. 😀
Interesting looking 7-Eleven eats.... certainly different from what is offered in the US. Food looked attractive and fresh. Thanks for sharing.
As usual, thanks for the travelling video.
On related note, with recent news of huge earthquake struck japan. I hope you all stay safe
That is a shockingly nice and well-located hotel for that price!
Fortunately, I'd eaten lunch before I watched this. 😄 The okinomiyaki looked so good!

There are two Nest Hotels in Hiroshima. Which hotel where you staying during this video? Thanks! Good information for travelers!
Good sound proofing from street noise
Wow! It's really a good price. Hope I can be there soon.
Hooray for a new video!
Very nice ammenities for the price, everything was clean too. Would the price be double for 2 people?
Amazing prices! I would stay there
I love okonomiyaki Hiroshima style. Desert looked great. What exactly does Sakura taste like?
Sakura have a earthy and bitter taste, with a subtle flowery flavor. The cured and pickled forms of Sakura also have a sour tang.
watch your video is so fun! 🥳🥳🤤
Your dessert looks delicious
This guy needs 1m subs.
I had no idea the 7-11 in hiroshima had okonomiyaki; hopefully once tourism is allowed again I can try and find some!
Is it me, or do the Japanese take food a bit more seriously than Americans do? I'm always amazed at the variety and quality of food that you present to us from different cities, even the kind sold in convenience stores.
So satisfying 😁
Great hotel. I wish we had them here.
That Nest Hotel is amazing considering the price per night. Does it have branches in other Japanese cities ?
They are Nest hotels is other major Japanese cities. There aren’t as many like other chains, but they are all good value just like this one.
Looks like a descent low-budget hotel. If it's clean. I'm fine 😊
Did you have to purchase and bring the meal back to your room ? Or was it supplied by the hotel ? Thanks.
I went to the 7-eleven nearby to buy the meal.
Oooh, ¥3500 per night seems really good. I paid only a little less for a capsule hotel in Kyoto. I should look for places like this next time I can go to Japan.
With the rise of streaming services, I wonder if hotel rooms will begin to do away with tvs in rooms and getting rid of cable . I think there’s still going to be a decent maybe not demand but want of it, but I won’t be surprised if in the future they get rid of them. It would save them a decent chunk of money I’m sure
I personally like to stream to my TV, and a lot of people don't bring their laptop along for short trips so I'm not too certain on it short term.
The price is absolutely insane. It cannot get any cheaper than this…👍 The food…well…🤷♂️
Very recomended
I know this one day late, missed you guys! Japan had a 7.3 earthquake. Hope you weren't there. Tina
Shinichi, how comfortable are people in not having a staff at the front of desk? In the USA, without staff the hotel would be a mess. Without someone monitoring operations, security and theft issues would make the hotel not profitable. Thanks fur the video
from Australia Nest rate starts at $75per nite (aus)🤔
Wow, I payed $150 for one night in a small town in Wisconsin, and didn't even get a coffee maker. Had to go to McDonald's next door for coffee.
perhaps you didn’t get a coffee maker “because” there was a Mikey D’s next door 😉
Yes. One can travel cheaply in Japan. Even so the price of ¥3,500 for a twin room seems incredibly cheap.
I love 7eleven's foods!
I'm surprised how many amenities this place has for the price. But what is the flashlight for?!
perhaps if the power was out n an earthquake 🤔
That's such good value for money! :o
wow for a "cheap" hotel this is quite lavish
That price is cheaper than rent. I think I'll just move in!
do they have larger guest slippers? something that could accommodate size 14US?
Very good 👏😎

Questa catena Nest Hotel, si trova in tutte le citta giapponesi o solo a hiroshima ?. grazie
Was your room quiet, being so close to the street?
The room was surprisingly very quiet.
7-11 would be so popular if they imported store food to the USA. All we get are hot dogs.
Hotels with self-service laundry, like the hotel in this video, are always appealing to me. This stylish hotel costs less than $30 per night. In a four-star or five-star hotel, laundry ALONE could cost more than $30.

Wow, that looked like a nice room for $29.00. ✌️. Michele Clovis Ca
On booking it’s $100/night?
Stay safe I heard there was an earthquake In Tokyo 💕
👍👍
Just wondering...do you ever find anything you don't like?....how can anyone like everything they try?...
I do actually find things I don’t like now and then, but not that often. When I do though, I usually end up not reviewing the place. Also I love all kinds of food and I usually stay away from stuff I don’t normally like.

it looks just as nice, if not nicer than the hilton you stayed it. pretty sad
