Hello everyone, thank you for the comments and messages checking up on me. Things are good on the DA front. Very tragic what is happening, and my thoughts are on the people struggling.
I am so grateful you posted this update…. Was very worried about you and Emmi… I hope she is safe as well… so terrible the earthquake and now the airplane wreck… holding the people of Japan close to my heart… 💔💔💔
Thank you for showing the shinto shrines, buddhist temples and the interview with the good-hearted pastor. I appreciate that you show the culture of the place you're visiting.
The pastor was fun. I loved the contrast of his calm interview and him standing with a microphone trying to bring Jesus to random people. So different from where I live. Imagine having that life goal of going on a mission for your deity, and living in that magical world. I do envy that on some level.
@@smallego8068 Agree. But the worst thing about proselytizers is that most religions don't send people unawares to heaven or hell. They just vanish. But as soon as you hear the gospel or whatever, you've sealed your fate. In a way they are condemning everyone they don't also convert to hell by proselytizing. Morally, it's detestable.
@ 13:28. "I'm not a religious person, but for me, kindness speaks volumes, and that man has a lot of kindness". Well right back atcha Dustin! Really that was a very full circle statement...if that makes sense.
Dustin, I am loving the "abroad" episodes!! I love learning about other cultures, their history and food. The pastor was delightful. What a blessing to stumble across his path. As an American, I am shell shocked by the difference in affordability dining out. I went to get Sushi this weekend with my daughter. We each had one roll, Miso soup (included) and ice water. $60. total. 😳 You got all that gourmet for for $12!!! 😭 That's it. I am moving to Japan!! Love you man! Glad you are safe and well and back home now.
I enjoy your Canadian off roading and rig builds much more than this kind of travel. There are a million shows about tourists and food in other countries. You presented an awesome niche perspective of our Canadian north west. Can’t wait to see you back on the road in Canada.
Awesome video! I used to travel to Japan many times early in my career. Good to see what its like now days. Hope to go back someday. Thank you for sharing.
Enjoying the series so far!! I've definitely got an interest in rural Japan after seeing some videos of what seem like ghost towns or close to ghost towns. Looking forward of whats to come. Cheers from British Columbia!!
Thankyou Dustin. Great vid. Quite the editing into this one. Japan is clean and nice but the wife and I couldn't take the food. As a marine aquarium keeper for the last forty years that food would be like eating my pets or licking out a skimmer cup 🤮. Nice to see ya enjoying yourself. You deserve it. Cheers Man ! And Happy New Year to you and your family. 🍻👊😎👍🍻
The visit to Japan, learning about the rest of the world & respecting their culture. Here in America, we don't have the fortune of having visitors or residents respect or learn about the culture. They like to bring their own & change it. You made one very interesting comment, you're not religious don't need to be. You need to have a good heart and care about others & help when needed. Another great destination!!
This is a great trip… Looking forward to everything here. I will not make it to Japan in this life time…so thank you for allowing me to tag along See you next Saturday…wishing you and your family a wonderful and blessed New Year 😊😇🙂
I cannot express how much I've enjoyed this...and last week's videos! I lived in Japan from 1961 to 1964 (my pop was stationed at Atsugi Naval Air Station). My whole family was able to revisit Japan in 2018...and it was just as delightful and beautiful as we remembered. The shrines and cemeteries were some of the most spectacular "old Japan" spots to visit. Sadly, I am not a videographer. So, being able to see the videos of the places you visited was nostalgic in a way that I can't describe. I am curious, what month were you there. It looks like the fall...maybe November? Regardless, Japan is delightful any time of the year. Thank you so very much!!!
Awesome video, thanks for taking us along on your night out, that was fun to see and I hear ya on the hangovers. Best cure I've found is to wake up and get buzzed! 😂😂
So many good feeling vibes from this video! Thank you for sharing Japan with us. It looks like a beautiful place to visit but the language barrier is SO intimidating. Can't wait to see where you take us next :)
Thanks Dustin. I truly enjoyed this video. I worked for a Japanese company for 22 years and got to spend many weeks in Japan. Very interesting culture, food/drink and people. Boe
I really love the vlog style you did with this video. It looks amazing and very engaging. I enjoy the way you travel and have a knack for meeting people and doing intimate interviews whether in First Nation villages, Japan, or small towns elsewhere. Can't to see what you have in store for us in 2024.
Love what you are doing I can't say it enough lol. I've never in my life wanted to see a stranger succeed as much as I do you. The more I watch the less you feel like a stranger. Coming from small town Rhode Island the world is a big place and you help me see a bit of it. Thank you and best of luck in 2024.
Totally awesome. Ive been watching you for a few months now and totally enjoy it. You're so genuine and it shows. Thanks for sharing cool stories. PS I was in Japan 5 years ago and loved it. Went to the Bamboo forest in Arashiyama which had the most amazing coffee hut on the river. Little busy but in the morning it was magical. Safe travels. Comox BC
Was there for work in the mid ‘90s. Enjoyed every aspect of the country and culture. Would recommend it to anyone willing to travel to a different part of the world.
Konnichiwa to you and Emmie. Another classic video from Canada's top videographer. Your ability to transition from rural to urban is a true gift of your cinematography skills, Dustin. Thank you for sharing with us another side of your life.
Awesome as always Dustin! I love Nagoya and had the privilege of spending some time there. Beautiful place, especially the surrounding countryside. Bryan from Vancouver
Dustin I know this video is from a couple of days ago but I’m just praying you’re okay after the earthquake that just happened in Japan. Praying not only for you but all the people that were affected by this act of nature. Please take care 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
LOVE how you changed up your music choices and editing style to suit big city Nagoya vs. the wild Canadian and American north! Mad respect for all that you do; the cinematography, the unique perspectives, and the respect you always pay to the places and people you meet. You're hands down one of my favourite RUclipsrs!
Merry Xmas Dustin . When I was a kid growing up in White Rock . Late 60s 70s and 80s . There was only one large Hotel near YVR called the Air Port Inn . It had a Restaurant called Suhiro . It was the Most Amazing Japanese Steak House . Only had the opportunity to true it once . It was Amazing ! Kinda Like You Kid . Rock On !
Dustin! I'm diggin the Eastern Adventures me lad! May your sushi be fresh, and may the rice never end! Happy early new year, be safe and thanks again for taking us along (Hanky Salutes proper)
Dustin, hi from Calgary thanks for showing me a culture not North American especially Japan which has interested me for years. I applaud your ease with global travel., thanks. Travel safe Happy New Year to you. {an episode about your cruise ship story really interests me )
Absolutely amazed watching your video, things I never knew about japans culture in this modern world we live n today ! Thank you for bringing us along ! Cheers and safe journeys 👍🇨🇦
Heard about the earthquake in Japan, and hope you are ok! Let us know? also keep in mind, that when you phone out internationally, you'd probably have better chances, than making a call locally, do take care of yourself Dustin, Hope all is well, Happy New Year!
Cant beat those prices and you get so much ❤ What an amazing place Dustin ! I like is everything all over is so clean and those vending machines on the ferries i took you get hot 🔥 breakfast, lunch and dinners 🍽 😋 bummer about the red light districk ' i didnt see any red lights 😂
The man is killing it with the B roll!! Some of the shrines and the cultural and architectural stuff. Wonderful interview, wouldn’t think it was just done on the spot. Does this old pastor wanna be Mr Ballen or what? Kidding it was super interesting!!! You always meet very interesting people that I could just sit down and talk to for hours… Downtown is neat and food looks good. Have you seen their chicken and dumpling? Theirs is very sloppy made compared to ours. If you haven’t seen, just take my word for it!! Thanks again for the great video. If you need anybody to carry some stuff like cameras or anything. I know you always have a beverage!!😵💫 Or maybe you need a translator that can do written and verbal of all languages. Just let me know bud. Thanks for joining me!!!
Thank you Dustin for another great production! One of the most memorable places I have ever traveled to has been Japan. So very thankful that you have given me the opportunity to share this with my family. You have a gift that draws the viewer into all of your adventures and the quality of your production is in my opinion one of the best I have seen on RUclips. Wishing you a very Happy New Year and see you on the next one!
Forty years ago I was a 21 year old traveling to Tokyo for the Summer to stay with my college roommate's family, culture shock. That beer brought back memories of The Hub in Shibuya, well the first few hours of being at the Hub that is. Had many experiences of out of the way places to eat and drink in the city, one BBQ place had whole Swallow on a skewer...head and all charred to a blackened crisp...lolol So much fun!!
Dustin. Fantastic. I must admit your videos in bc are and will always be my favourites. I love your travels into Japan, as it opens my eyes to places I will never get to. Funny, I have always guessed at your age, but this time you mentioned it-I was pretty close. I brag about this channel to everyone. You are my fav channel. I love everything you film. Your adventures in the forests and mountains are the best ever. Thank you for everything
Gidday Dustin, owyagoing mate, this the first time I have made contact even though I have been following your videos since their inception, I thoroughly enjoyed them and I reckon you are on a good thing now so please keep it up and take care Cheers
Great video.. Your willing to completely put yourself in different countries and cultures is what separates u from others ,its y I enjoy all your videos ..I look forward to Saturdays because of your videos ..Please don't change anything, your perfect ..Thanks
Very interesting video, and educational. When traveling to another country, very important to know the dos and don'ts of a country. You have the responsibility to the research and use respect.
I think technically the proper way to dunk sushi is upside down, but with your fingers not chopsticks. Doesn't fall apart that way, and is perfectly socially acceptable. Great video!!
Hello everyone, thank you for the comments and messages checking up on me. Things are good on the DA front. Very tragic what is happening, and my thoughts are on the people struggling.
Thanks for checking in, glad to read you are safe! Sad for all who are affected :(
I came here to find out how you were. I'm so glad to hear you're ok. I'm so sad for the people that aren't. :(
I am so grateful you posted this update…. Was very worried about you and Emmi… I hope she is safe as well… so terrible the earthquake and now the airplane wreck… holding the people of Japan close to my heart… 💔💔💔

In Germany we consider people trying to force a certain religion upon you, unpleasant folk (and that's by far the friendliest way to describe them)

Loved your interview with the pastor. Love his belief in God and treating people good.
Love the change up and loving seeing Japan and learning about the culture. And Emmie is so friggen cute. ❤
Thank you, Dustin, for taking us on this adventure with you! Beautiful places and culture to learn from!
Wonderful. I really like meeting Nathan also. It's amazing how God speaks to us and brought him to Japan. 😊
Loving the trip, thanks for bringing us along!
Awesome video! I used to travel to Japan many times early in my career. Good to see what its like now days. Hope to go back someday. Thank you for sharing.
I agree with you. No matter if you are religious or not, being kind works no matter what you believe.❤. Another good one and very interesting.

I’m so glad I came across your channel. It’s the sound track and visions with the fm voice overs has me glued. Can’t get enough!

Dustin Porter, free, open, respectful, curious, polite, adventurous, insightful, observant, and so many other things.
Thank you for taking us to Japan, truly fascinating. Especially the hot/cold vending machines. Happy new year Dustin!
Looks like a nice mellow, freindly place. I enjoy the shy but curious culture. Great job Justin!
This is a great trip… Looking forward to everything here. I will not make it to Japan in this life time…so thank you for allowing me to tag along

Very interesting video, and educational. When traveling to another country, very important to know the dos and don'ts of a country. You have the responsibility to the research and use respect.
I love everything Japanese!! This video was great! Thank you for sharing. 😊

Enjoying a different view Dustin but it's very strange seeing you out of your natural habit 😁
I love this, keep them coming please
