I feel so sad about the people returning to the abandoned village; I can just imagine a little old person hobbling through the woods to their ancestral childhood home to sit and reminisce a bygone era and way of life :(
I feel the same way 😔
I know right so sad
Its more sad that in reality its the elderly that stayed as their children moved away. The little old person stuck in isolation in a dying village, once they passed the children came to take any valuables and left the home and possesions to rot. Thats why these homes still have so many possesions in them.
imagine 2 japanese guys snooping around in some american crack den. They make someones rotten obandoned house with only homeless people and the local troubled youth hiding there look so mysterious and foreign lol dont feel sad for someone that doesnt exist :-)
@@XenaTit's more sad that much of Japan will look like that very soon, because they are not reproducing. Even the cities are starting to feel empty.
It wouldn't surprise me if there's an episode in the future where Connor just reflects upon & rates every bathtub he's been in since arriving in Japan.
15:30: That face says it all imo
"Just Washing the Dawg: CDawgVA's Guide To Great Baths"? :D
And I'm sure he will feel quite, sad, as he reminiscences
It's like one of those anime episodes where they do a recap so they can reuse old footage and save money for the upcoming climax
watching this made me feel like it could be a TV program on ITV or BBC. It’s so well made
It really is. I was very impressed.
Never thought of that but wow this would be a great TV show.
Apart from the wobbly camerawork and Chris's constant F bombs ! LoL
@@thedude8526 this could never be on TV. Have you seen the crap they show nowadays? This video is better than TV haha 🌈
It's even way better than that! That's why Abroad in Japan is so amazing!
Enjoyed the humor so much and seeing Chris so nervous about the camera equipment under the waterfalls. Congrats on the Cyclathon and ChessBoxing win on the Streamer Awards, guys!🎉
Hasn’t even officially been married yet and is already on a trip with the mistress… this is hardly affable Chris
Busted😂
@@sharlainjapanGood thing you're keeping an eye on that boy. 😂
some think there lovers ,if so it will be more damaging to sharma and chris tryin g to hide it
I'm shocked that there's not more films shocked in these abandoned villages, because they are perfectly suited for roles in atmospheric horror.
I don't think the local government would want the bad press if they want to encourage people to move to the country.
I think the way there makes it self-explanatory
The fact is, there is just SOOOOO many abandoned buildings and towns across Japan. These villages are actually really common.
There are over 8 million buildings abandoned across Japan, with it only growing. Within 10 years that number will be around 22 million abandoned buildings.
I agree there are so many abandoned places in the US including all around the world it’s fairly easy to make it happen .
You want horror, try West Terre Haute, Indiana. Trouble is, it's real.
You really cannot understate how amazing Chris’s camera work, lighting, sound production and overall video quality is something you really don’t see many places on RUclips. Watching your videos is really a treat.
Wacky Weekend is simply amazing.
No other word than amazing can describe Chris' and Connors relationship. Said with a mountain of salt.
Loving how Chris gets on really well with the boys, producing banger content with every one of them:
Joey: Journey Across Japan
Connor: Wacky Weekend
Garnt: Taken for Garnted
I didn't know he did something with garnt specifically.
he didn't Garnt never does
They wanted to do it but between jobs and Garnt getting married, the timing is delayed.
Like, by two years at this point.
there really should be a separate content for Natsuki, the man deserves one
@Victoria Zero One day I hope
Cause grant and Chris Broad together
Will be pure chaos for real
Isn't it a Mr. Broad posting a video within this week, exactly what he had promised 13 days ago (and I've still managed to wake up with the Journey Across Japan theme playing in my mind every other day)
I'm pretty sure Chris just puts out the community posts to hype him up to complete the videos faster. Jokes aside, the quality is insane and almost unbelievable how a single creator can be this good!
Frr I was waiting every day to see if a new video would pop up lol
@@jamesherman3750 what do you mean?
Is waking up to that theme a blessing or a curse?
He was waiting for the petals to fall.
I live in Kyushu and do a lot of hiking in remote areas, so I have been down my fair share of dodgy mountain roads. However, I would never in a million years attempt a road half that bad in a non-offroad/4WD RENTAL vehicle. You guys are truly mad. Thanks for all the great content.
I love your collabs. It doesn’t seemed forced because you guys are actually friends. Your videos have gotten me through the worst time of my life and now that I am in the best part of my life so far, its still always a joy to see your uploads. Cheers to another 10 years of Abroad in Japan!
Middle aged woman sitting here full belly laughing. Thanks so much Chris for your uploads, they're always such a treat. My personal highlights; road of death, Conner backing Chris into the waterfall and seeing that genuine angry / happy laughter, that goofy face Conner made in the bath, that breathtaking backyard garden, the food... ok basically the entire video! Always such great videos, please upload more!
We are truly blessed to have these human beings.

I'm moving to Okinawa in a few weeks. Been binge watching everything Japanese. Love your content brother! I even started listening to your podcast.
Best of luck with the move! Amazing place to end up in Japan!
Hope it goes well
Good luck! I hope you enjoy every day there 😌
Take care, good luck and god speed on your move to okinawa 🫡
Hey bro where are you from?
Wacky Weekends is by far one of my most favorite series on RUclips, you guys are the best duo. 💗💜
The abandoned village certainly had a creepy atmoshphere. At the same time knowing that people lived there and had to move makes you feel sad. The fact that this kind of thing will be more and more of a common thing is disheartening in a way. I myself live in a village of about 2800 residents -and while it is situated on a main road so most likely will not be abandoned any time soon- it is also true that most people don't want to move to a smaller settlements instead of a city, so a lot of houses had been up for sale in the last 5-10 years here.
Can’t get over how much that abandoned location reminds me of Fatal Frame😅😅
God bless you sharla.
Yes! Finally a new wacky weekend! This series is great, we always need more of it!
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok I won't
@@michel-georgesnajarian6508 its name was don't read my profile photo
now you have read its name
As a non-native English speaker, watching videos such as this one make me oh so happy I understand the language so I can enjoy this content to the fullest
good job and never quit friend
4:45 Can't beat a really genuine British "oh f*ck off!!"
Oh my god that narrow mountain road. There are similar roads in my country that people only use hired motorcycles to get up on. Even locals with cars dare not risk it.
Also, the drone shots are insanely well done and put together. Your chemistry with Connor is one of my favorites. Looking forward to more collaborations in the future.
I imagine Chris watching the recordings while editing, noticing the small space they had on the sides on these mountain roads, and thinking that he should not choose such a place ever again. To be honest, I would be scared as f*ck xd
Amazing video Chris, thank you for sharing!
You get used to narrow roads in Japan. Cars, trucks, every road vehicle is smaller on average than the rest of the world.
@@mfaizsyahmi I know, but, I don't think that they are that used to such narrow streets on mountains xd.
I love these wacky weekend videos you and Connor do. You show us so many cool sights and scenes of Japan that I've never seen before. Keep up the great work Mr. Affable & CDawg.
I lived in Beppu when I was studying at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. The jigoku are cool and the eggs and meatbuns from there were delicious beyond reason. Weirdly, most people in Beppu go to Yufuin for their onsen fun instead. Takegawara onsen also does volcanic sand baths, which were amazing

NOTIFICATION SQUAD:
This might be our craziest Wacky Weekend Road Trip yet! BUT get ready because next week Connor and I are back in Kyushu for an epic week long Cyclathon for charity following on from our hugely successful stream/episode across Hokkaido last year. Really excited to get back on the bike for another epic adventure. Look forward to seeing you all there when we kick off on the 18th!

Hi
Ayyy
please i need euro pete to come back
Yo Chris!
Woooo, hope you’re well!
The transition to the animated intro is so good. Yaaay wacky weekend!
The shots of the gorge with leaves fluttering down wow so cinematic
23:30 nice cousin it cosplay 😂
This is insanely amazing, Chris!
You would have thought, I would be done with all the Japanese sights and matters. But no, Chris you still manage to keep me wanting to see and experience vicariously what Japan has more to offer.
Thank you for this great video. I'm learning a lot about the places you visit. Love the wacky weekend adventures. Chris & Conner you guys are such a pair...funny as heck. Love the way you guys interact. Look forward to the next video journey.
Chris: “There’s a lot of equipment in here!”
Connor: “haha waterfall go splash”
As someone who lived in Beppu for six years this wacky weekend has surely brought back some sweet memories.
And yes, the dinosaur love hotel is something you cannot miss out whenever you’re going in and out of Beppu to Fukuoka by bus 😅😅😅😂😂😂
Oh Wow
Woot! Chris is back! I appreciate the one video after another - so awesome! Thanks and keep up the great works!
Love the Wacky Weekend series because both Chris and Connor's skills of Cinematography Presentation and production quality evolve in each upload while keeping the series light-hearted, hilarious and wholesome
And back to the wacky weekends we all slightly love, fun and grief in one package
I think the most interesting abandoned place in Japan (For me atleast) is rabbit island. Seeing the massive empty warehouses and facilitys are eerie, and especially haunting when you consider the place your standing in was a toxic gas facility, which was literaly responsible for thousands of deaths, all surrounded by rabbits. Weird stuff (that area would also make a good wacky weekend)
Facilities* (Not correcting to be mean, just to help you out.)
Great vid with Connor some beautifull shots and the hot springs looked amazing still sad to see so many leave the country side...😔
the view is always so stunning in Japan thanks for the vid Chris!🙏❤️🙌
Just wanted to give you a thank you for making such entertaining and high quality videos. You are hilarious and I really enjoy when you go cool places and hang out with your friends. Keep up the good work. Wishing you much success and happiness. 😊
I need to see an Abroad in Japan: Hunt for Yokai, where you guys go to abandoned haunted sites around japan
12:01 Drive-By Rizz
This series is amazing, I love this duo and the videos are amazing high quality
I love looking at these abandoned villages. Just looking at the smashed insides, dusty and possibly tilted interior, all those doors having holes, it really sends you back to the "good old times" even when you weren't there.
My grandparents live right next to Beppu (Oita-shi specifically) and I've always wanted to see you guys visit Oita! It's so awesome to see you guys in places that I've been to before myself.
I think I felt my heart rate slow to a crawl when you showed that garden view from that inn in Ryokan. I couldn't tell from the voiceover, but was it as serene and peaceful as it looked? So relaxing.
This video is so dense with content, I think I’ll end up remembering it as multiple different ones. Fantastic video and maybe my favourite Wacky Weekend so far!
These videos are so cool! I love that there are so many ghost towns in Japan to see. Make sure you keep an emergency kit with you! Pack at least 3-4 days of food, solar blankets, lights, first aid kit, radios, batteries/power storage, rain gear, heat pads etc.
This ghost town looks absolutely mesmerizing despite being a bit creepy. Keep up with these adventures.
I love the abandoned places of Japan, I've mapped out at least 4-5 thousand already, all confirmed by the Japanese government. They are some of the most amazing places I've seen.
So many hotels, villages, resorts, Ski-Slopes, and much more just left behind for so many years.
What do you mean you've mapped out 5,000? That sounds like a crazy amount of time and such an undertaking, however you mean it.
@@Walrus101
I've been mapping abandoned places for almost 10 years now and try to keep up with them over time so I can see the progress of the people or destructive progress of nature.
I currently help out a Japanese website as well and they give me an income monthly, so that's nice for virtually no work, then someone will go on the ground and confirm it in person since I don't live in Japan anymore. Big website in JP, unknown everywhere else.
I do it for fun though, I've taken literally millions of photos of abandoned places over the years.
@@knowledge4741 That's so interesting, what a thing to commit to! Nice you get fulfillment from something pretty unique like that
So glad things have been mended in takachiho gorge! I went in September just after a huge typhoon hit Kyushu and so much of the infrastructure there had been destroyed, couldnt go on the boats and the walk way alongside the gorge had been obliterated.
I absolutely love these types of videos with u and Connor keep them coming 👀🔥👌
The intro honestly feels like a real TV show now, with credits and Connor calling it out before they roll.
This was excellent. It was really nice to see Miyazaki, an area of Japan I don't see much exploration of. I love Gifu and Nagano and Kyoto, but when you've seen a 100 travel videos in those areas, it's nice to see something different.
FASCINATING VIDEO AGAIN.
THANKS AGAIN AND MORE POWER TO BOTH OF YOU.
Production value is basically so good that if the world was more based this would be featured on the travel Chanel 😅. Keep it up boys love it !
日本をとても満喫しておられますね
別府温泉の地獄めぐりは素晴らしいです
I see you are enjoying Japan very much.
Hell tour of Beppu Onsen is amazing
I love these wacky weekends it is like an Abbot and Costello episode
Nice! 🫶🫶🫶I really enjoy watching you guys. So fun. Really nice group of guys. ☺️☺️☺️ thanks so much for sharing.
The the quality of audio in this video is juuuuust next level. The production overall is probably one of the best I've ever seen on RUclips. I would really love to know what equipment you use.
Thank god you're releasing this I almost starved from the lack of wacky weekend. Praise the Affable!
That road was scary! You should drive Chris! Show off your MarioKart skills. And what an awesome collection of adventures in this video. Great work! Kyushu is my favorite part of Japan!
Another great video Chris, deserves more views as you've smashed this out the park again
What an amazing little trip! Loved this one
Ah! Beppu was one of the first places in japan I ever visited. The onsens are so beautiful. I got to live my dream of being in a massive onsen, on my own, while it snowed. Citron fruits floating by. Living my weeby anime dreams.
Nice!
The best weekends are the wacky weekends
YesYes 💯
man this video is jam packed! what a great video from the boys just another great wacky weekend!
My friends and I are planning a japan trip in 4 years and we love watching your videos! 💙 Tysm!
Yes! New Abroad video! What a great way to start my Saturday. Happy wacky weekend everyone!!
Yes, Chris SHOULD drive back!
I just love whacky weekend - perfect combination of awesome shots of japan, uncommon places and a bit of trashtalk between two friends
I love this video so much! 😭 The drone footage is unbelievable! Catches the spirit of Japan so well I find
Im happy to see you visiting my hometown and enjoying the food🙏🏻
Those bamboo pipe noodles really ain't built for left-handed people like Chris LOL😭
FANTASTIC drone shots in this video. Loved seeing all the lush scenery.
The Kyushu scenery looks so gorgeous, it makes me want to visit ASAP. Although I can certainly see why the town was abandoned, given just how remote it is.
After 2 weeks, Chris remembered that we exist. Thanks for the episode!
My arch nemesis
@@justsomeguy2743 lol
Keep up all your hard work and can’t wait to see what the year holds
I enjoy y'all's wacky weekends, they give your viewers an insight to Japan's interesting, unique, weird, amazing and beautiful places around the area.😁
Nice to see another new entry, I can't wait for the next one! Glad to see the running theme of Connor and bathtubs is still ongoing.
This is the first time that an abandoned place you've visited has made me feel so sad. That village looked like a beautiful place to live, and so hidden away that it seems like it would have been very peaceful. I get that it's very disconnected from urban areas and it would be a pain to get your groceries and things, but I've been to places that remote before, and people live there because it's worth it to live somewhere so beautiful. The chair with the clean carpet makes it seem to me that some of the village's old residents still feel the same way. That's the sort of place I'd love to live in someday and seeing it abandoned feels like a waste. But I completely understand that the residents likely felt they had no choice but to leave in order to keep living.
Awesome video as always, and I am very, very jealous of the wagyu beef!
Absolute classic wacky weekend guys!
The Quality of these videos is getting more and more amazing every time.
Thanks for another great video!
Amazing scenery, i'm getting a lot of ideas for when visiting Japan next :)
Yay another wacky weekend video! It's great to see so many videos this year, thanks Chris, I'm looking forward to the cycling with Connor soon!
21:48 lmfao that lady behind Connor 🤣
Thanks again for another lovely video!
Reminders like these are always appreciated! Universal and important stuff.
I get so excited every time I see that you upload. Thank you for all the effort to both Chris and Connor
Love your videos Chris been a fan for many years now, big love from Scotland 🏴
Soooo serendipitous -- I'm planning a solo trip to Japan for November this year and Miyazaki will be my last stop, i'm going for the falls/gorge but couldn't find any info on this place really!! So I'm super stoked you guys happen to be doing a video on this area just as I'm planning a trip here lol
Miyazaki!!! My husband is from Miyazaki and we always looking forward to new videos, so happy to finally see Miyazaki! If you are ever up for the challenge, for next time I'd recommend Ayanoteruhaotsuri Bridge! 🤭
Wacky weekends has a really cool vibe to it and I never seem to get enough of it. It has grown to become my second favourite series on RUclips (right after Journey Across Japan :P)
So, Mr. Affable, please keep on making these fun videos.
Just have to say you are looking great Chris! I can tell you are working hard to get in shape and just your overall health. It's always a hard journey but it's paying off. Good job sir! 👏🏽
I cannot wait to go there thank you for sharing experience!!!
All your videos are awesome, but this one really was next level!
Loved the drone shot above the winding mountain road-amazing!
We were in Miyazaki end of October 22 and the little boats weren’t operating at that time, so sad. We took the little train over the gorge instead.
I hope you guys had a chance to have some Mango Mango soft cream, and raw chicken while you were there😮
I haven't even finished the video yet, but here i am, commenting. I know i will absolutely love it. Believe it or not, i have been waiting for a whole week since Chris posted that community post.
Thank you for adding some joy to my bland life. Awesome work, as always 🎉❤️
Oh, this video has the perfect timing for me - I'm just going to Takachiho Gorge and Beppu for the first time this May! Thanks for the tips. :)
Re-watching all of Chris old videos, I need these videos for my trip 🤌
Wacky Weekend is finally back! Love the content!
I dont know if it's me or the new video, but this one feels more lively, funnier, has more attention grabbing. It feels like I'm apart of the adventure. Love the information given too. Awesome job!
Thanks Chris and Connor. I am live my better life through you guys, one wacky weekend at a time! 🙏
thanks for the amazing video!
