How Starting YouTube and Moving to Japan Changed My Life!

  • One small word-YES-completely changed the course of my life. In this video, I’m diving into how saying yes to starting a RUclips channel, traveling to Japan, and moving to Fukuoka turned my life upside down in the best way possible.
    I’ll take you through my journey: from awkwardly starting RUclips, to a life-changing three-month trip to Japan, and how one video (featuring someone very special) led to finding my new home-and my wife!
    Since moving to Japan in 2024, I’ve grown an incredible community of over 3,500 subscribers, worked with cities in Kyushu, and built a life I’d been dreaming of for over 15 years. This is my most personal video yet and I'm so happy to finally make this one legends!

    Congrats to you both, and Kaori is lovely! I haven't seen the earliest videos, so didn't see that she was on one. When you said she'd been there the whole time, I thought you meant as on a technical side, such as camera person.
    Just adding in the weather to carry over from our chat on the previous video, if I didn't win this, I was in two minds about making my Tokyo trip (inc. a day or two here and there, outside the city, if I can get there and back within the day) either for 3 weeks in late March-to-mid April, to coincide with Sakura season, or approx a month later, so that coincides with Golden Week, as there'd be a lot going on. So, maybe a week before that to get into things, and a week after.
    Do you have any advice on that for a first trip? I know it'd be a bit warmer for the latter, but then both are much better than it is here at the moment 😁
    As an aside, I did see another guy's video, who's up in the snowy rural regions, and he loves that they get 1-2ft of snow overnight, sometimes! Oh man, that's too much for me!

    • @hangswithchristian
      @hangswithchristian  2 дня назад

      Thanks so much! Yeah, Kaori has been part of things from the start, just more behind the scenes until now. 😊 Well except for the little egg on the channel that no one knew about until now also haha
      For your trip, both options have their perks! Sakura season is stunning but also super crowded, while Golden Week is packed with events but even busier in certain spots. If you want to experience Japan at its most festive, late April into early May could be fun, but if you’re after the classic cherry blossom scenery, late March to mid-April is the way to go. Either way, you’ll have an amazing time!
      And yeah, 1-2 feet of snow overnight sounds like a bit much-even for Japan’s winter lovers! 😆

    Fantastic start to 2025 mate, and what a great introduction to your lovely wife too! Who doesn’t love Sushiro? It’s consistently good in my opinion. Do you remember what you had on your first date? How about doing a video at some stage comparing the different kaiten sushi chains, such as Sushiro, Hamazushi, Genki, Kurra, and Kappa? I’m sure that would be hugely popular-just my two yen’s worth. Really love your channel mate, and can’t wait for your next instalment. Happy New Year!

      As for what sushi I had, I wouldn’t have a clue to be honest with you, but I’m sure I was trying to eat less than I normally would because when I’m normally there, I smashed so many plates haha
      Great idea on the video too. I’ll have to look into that in the future because I do love my sushi so that’s an easy sell for me! Haha

    What a great story! This resonates so strongly; I feel like I'm in a similar situation of discovering a new country where I want to relocate to but fighting all the doubts, challenges and insecurities in my mind. Making the decision at almost 50 makes it all the more difficult. I'm returning to Japan for a second three week trip next month and YES is the word I'm keeping in mind; positive vibes needed for positive outcomes.

    • @hangswithchristian
      @hangswithchristian  11 дней назад +1

      You know the feeling! It's so crazy how much just saying Yes more in life can really add so much more to your life. It can lead you down paths you'd never previously would have taken and open up great opportunities that never would have come. It's legit turning right instead of left, you never know whats around the corner. Keep that positive mindset and if its something you really want, write it down, a step by step goal on how to get there and make it happen!
      You got this legend! 🙋🏽‍♂️🇯🇵

    I visited Fukuoka last year at the recommendation of a Japanese bartender in Taipei of all places. Really liked it a lot. I think Tokyo is still my favorite place just due to how huge it is with endless things to do, but I did prefer the charm of Fukuoka to Osaka for example, which I visited on the same trip. Will definitely go back.

      The way I always phrase is it, you don’t want to live in the party but you want access to it. Fukuoka is the perfect balance to live with access to the rest of Japan easily.
