    Yassss. My 3rd episode in a row today. Thank you for all the content and hard work, Dut! Your trips to Japan and JDM cars are what made me subscribe to your channel, but your authenticity and complete love and respect for the Japanese culture are what keep me here. You're not just a tourist there for the cool cars, you also appreciate the people, the food, and the history. And as a Japanese person myself, I truly appreciate YOU. I will continue to support you in any way I can, so that you can keep going back to Japan as much as possible. I can't wait to take my wife and daughter to Japan one day. Such a magical place. I really miss it.

    Dude, you looked so exhausted at the end of the video, so thanks for your dedication to show us as much as you could. With the usual amazing editing, btw, finding the time to fit in such great editing is crazy. Yes, a south trip is a must.

      he is alone. so definitely much harder to film. he had to set the camera up on tripod, walk away, do the spot, and walk back again to pick up the camera. its like doing the same route twice or more!

    Some of the best driving roads in Japan are on the outskirts of Kyoto in Kitayama. The scenery is stunning and the roads are smooth and winding with no traffic. At night, the roads in Kitayama are deserted. I'm happy to say that I'm going back to Japan for the first time in four years. I usually go to Japan at least twice a year, but the pandemic put a stop to that. It's awesome to be going back.
