    Had a smile on my face for the entire duration of the 'van on the beach' situation. Somethings happen for a reason and that right there is the perfect example! What a wholesome interaction from start to finish. Keep trucking Dut 💪

    Dustin, I can't put into words how proud I am of you. You went from being my "little shadow" to the wonderful man you have become. This adventure is one for the books and something you will remember forever. Please be safe during the rest of your travels. I can't wait to see you in a few weeks. I love you and miss you buddy.

    Don't beat yourself up over the beach situation. Challenges and tribulations are what shape a person's character. You will come out of it an even better person than before. I actually teared up over the kindness of those 3 guys. Such an amazing encounter under such a stressful situation. It's people like them that make me super proud to be Japanese. 🖤🖤🙏🙏 Keep up the great work, Dut. You're doing great. I'm loving the videos and pics you're sharing here and on Instagram.

With your life full of all the luxuries back home, now in Japan in place where your faced with the upmost trials through your travels the universe will test you but look what it brought to you, friends, food, laughter, and a tow truck with a legend as a driver. Blessings upon blessings Dut keep your trip going no matter what and your head held higher. 🙏🏼

    Bro this is exactly what happened to the “Dark Souls” series creator! He was stuck on a mountain pass I believe, but had 3 random strangers help him get back on the road! After they helped him, the strangees left without wanting anything in return. Miyazaki was so moved by how kind these strangers were, he incorporated the “summon help system” into Dark Souls haha. This was exactly what happened to you man. What a moving experience this was, cause it made me hella emotional. Situations like this can be tough as heck to deal with by yourself. Keep your head up as always Dut, and have a safe journey onwards. GODSPEED!

    Probably one of your best videos. I was smiling the whole time you got stuck on the beach. Having all those interactions with the locals is something everyone needs to experience for themselves traveling internationally. Get off the beaten path and meet real locals. It always ends up being such a worthwhile experience and even with language barriers, you'll meet some incredible people. I've always found that people are so warm and inviting even if you can't communicate fully in your native language.

    I had a similar experience in Japan last October. I was at an outlet mall in Karuizawa when I dropped the keys for a rented GR 86 down a storm drain. I was freaking out on the inside when I went to the information desk for help. But the staff were super kind and helpful despite the language barrier. Long story short, mall security was able to lift up the storm drain grate and the guy from the info desk climbed down to grab my keys. I did a full 90 degree bow with repeated arigatos when I got the keys back, as I was so thankful they were able to help me out.
    On a side note, I drove the GR 86 on the touges of Mt. Haruna, Mt. Myogi, and Usui Pass the day before. That adventure was inspired by your and Albo's videos of you guys driving the Initial D touges. Needless to say that was an amazing experience. Loving the content from this Japan in a Van series! Can't wait to see the next episode!

    The dynamic of going from locals who aren’t fond of foreigners alone to 3 young locals finding an American on the beach and doing everything they can to help is insane. It’s a lesson every person in every country should see. If we were all as good as those three people, the world would be better off

    Also shoutout to that TOW truck driver too, that touge in Hakodate is amazing to drive through and super underrated. Next time you're back in Hokkaido, definitely hit up Kushiro, Nakashibetsu, and Shiretoko areas. Super beautiful :)

Also out of all the recovery people, a fellow touge boss being the one to get your van you out... Man with all what you were going through in that situation and things just rolling out how it did, that was just unbelievable. Really enjoying this series and looking forward for the next episode. Much love Dustin, take care and enjoy 😄

    Hey Dut, I’ve said this on another Japan video but I want to say it again. Been a subscriber for a while but I mostly tune in to most of your Japan vids/vlogs now with everything going on in my life.
    You have continuously inspired me to travel on my own and embrace the uncomfortable. You are a rare breed to really immerse yourself and try to learn more about the Japanese culture/language. Actually traveled across Europe for the first time last Summer because of your inspiration.
    Very impressive to see your ability to speak Japanese and take the country head on by yourself. It makes my dream of going to Japan more attainable in my eyes. I fear of being the typical American out there but you give us a good name. Keep being you bud, maybe I’ll pull up beside you again on the 15 as we drive. Every time I check in to your pages, you always seem to be doing it right :) wish you always the best
