I would love a video on how you got started with food delivery in Japan: 1. buying bike 2. which app you use 3. where to work 4. bike etiquette 5. Japanese Language barrier/ best way to learn as a delivery rider 6. commentary on how sustainable the career is/what it takes to do the job for a while.

honestly massive respect to you for blurring the places your delivering to. its a small detail many wont think to do but it give much respect to others around you!
@@black_dragon274 I didn’t comment anything about the viability of them doing delivery service? I made a comment on their courtesy to blur the homes and faces of who they were delivering to.
@@black_dragon274 Maybe not for your lifestyle or opportunities, but it's an extremely flexible job and a solid last resort for someone in-between employment. I worked food delivery and ride sharing while I was in college, it was perfect for my situation. I didn't need much money and had weird hours available. Also decent for extra income if your current job doesn't offer enough overtime and you don't want to be locked to 20 hours/week at a 2nd job.
@@The_Gallowglassyou are just ignorant. It is common in Asia and Southeast Asia if you are working you have to wear long sleeves and pants due to extreme heat. You have to protect your body and skin not to mention heat strokes and tan lines you get from the sun. and it is very common to use an umbrella when walking.
@@The_Gallowglass it depends what what material the clothes is made out of like for example they wear long sleeve and pants in the middle east because the sun is harsh on the skin so they wear very breathable material for long clothes.
It’s so comforting to see the streets are safe and walkable in Japan. I’d be out side every single day honestly and just be able to walk anywhere.. Also seems like they just focus on them selfs and not on anybody bothering them.
one of his deliveries was for a bunch of energy drinks going literally 80 meters down the road hahaha. sure you'd love to walk around if you went to visit - but all the orders in this video show basically the exact opposite, besides people walking to work.
I just moved back to the states from Tokyo one month ago. One of my sharehouse roommates was borderline hikikomori who ordered food every day. I will keep watching to see if you deliver to him 😂
Hey man, could you make something like a full tutorial video on how to get started doing food delivery in Japan? Or maybe just a list of helpful tips. It would be really helpful 👍
I just found your channel, it looks great. I went to Japan for holiday half a year ago and I just fell inlove with the people and culture. Hope to be able to get back soon. Seems like you're a hard worker, I hope your YT career will pay off, cause it seems the food delivery doesn't pay well in comparison for the hard work you do.
I really enjoy you documenting your day and I appreciate your hard work. I work remotely in Japan, and your work, from my perspective, is fascinating. I kind of regret not taking a similar courier job in San Francisco many years ago as that would have been the ‘adventure’ job in my career journey (but cab drivers were quite a menace at the time), and you have that adventure, now. Enjoy!
Watching your videos reassures me that I'd be able to live in Japan while using Doordash/Uber for work. Thank you for the motivation and keep up the hard work! You're amazing!
delivering via bike would give me so much anxiety there's so much people out I don't think id be able to do it. props to you man keep grinding and doing your thing!
@@smoke0783 when i cycle in the city, i just ride slowly and weave between people who don't notice me, otherwise you're hardly going to crash into anyone or anything. depending on the country, you're supposed to cycle on the road if cycling path is unavailable but i feel scared cars driving relatively fast next to me, cycling on the path for pedestrians is infinitely safer despite the law saying otherwise. cycling should make you feel the opposite of anxious and i hope you feel better.
@@marten6578 honestly i love biking but in something as populated as japan like this i’d rather not tbh. i like biking in the open and freely with barely people around but that’s just me
Bruuuuuder ich bin durch den Algo auf deine Videos gestoßen, keep up the work. Ich feier diese Art von Vlogs mit der Kameraperspektive, sowie die Zeitraffa 😁✌🏼
Hi Eddy, in one of your videos you were talking about getting an e-bike so I share my experience with you : instead of buying a full bike I've found a kit to convert a regular bike into a real electric bike. It's a 1500watts engine mounted on a wheel, easy to adapt onto a regular bike , going 60km/h, with a 18Ah 48v battery able to make a lot of kilometers. Only coasted 600€ for kit + battery 4 years ago. If you're interested make sure to take a look at the regulations for this type of bike in Japan. Ask me for some advice if you wanna make your own( especiallay about having the adapted battery for your kit).
i love how youre showing us the inside of so many people lives even tho it’s just as smile as food it’s nice seeing how mother people live. also, these are the cleanest people in the world😂 if everyone adopted japans lifestyle of cleanliness and kindness we’d be a different world, a shame it took a nuke 😅
hey man, first time watching, appreciate the content. i got to 8:17 and realized i've seen this footbridge and building area before and recognized it was the same location where Maximum the Hormone filmed a music video for their song ROLLING1000TOON, and what a weird way to make a connection it was! Subbed, cant wait to see the future of your channel.
Hey, new to the channel so cool to see you doing this as I was considering moving over and being freelance as well but seeing some others struggles or how much they have to hustle on the side I may look at a little schooling first.
The struggle is strong and the payments are quite low, BUT the content is amazing. No doubt about it, if you keep this up, you and I will know all the good places in Japan for sure to visit ;D.
Just found your channel bro. Massive respect for what you do. Must be so difficult doing what you do on a daily basis but I guess vlogging your day makes it bearable right? Wishing you all the best 💪🙏
Lots of freedom for the money. And precious moments, to be with his beauty. Falling in love, building a future, making unforgettable memories. It fills me with so much jealousy. They are both so very lucky.
Fun to watch, I subscribed immediately. It would be good to also add a timestamp I think. You can say what time it is everytime you got order and when you finish it, so it's easier when you're editing. Ganbare!
You're passing the crossings at red lights, for example the hufe Shibuya crossing. Japanese bikes are waiting and you as a foreigner there are passing them. Even in Berlin red light passing people are going on my nerves.
You could teach, German, Russian and English (or any other languages that you speak fluently). There are apps / sites where you can put your profile. I used to make a lot of ¥¥¥ doing that. I charged ¥3000-¥5000 ph. I don’t know what the going rate is now and for other languages other than English. I think it’s possible to teach online now. Back in the day it was all in coffee shops or McDonald’s.
I worked at a Koi raising place or "farm" you could call it in the country side down in Okayama for years, working in Japan specifically that job was probably the hardest work I have ever done in my life.
Great video, very interesting to see! I think the job looks fun actually and hard work since you're doing it on a bike! I really couldn't see myself doing that for only around 35 usd though. D:
i found this video in my recommendations and enjoyed watching it! uber in japan seems like a tough (especially during summer) but well paying job. also, at the start of the video i was thinking "the scenery looks very familiar".. and then realized you were in yoyogi-uehara haha. i live near there. i go to that matsuya at 1:49 pretty often
Thanks for the content.
Thank you so much man 🙏
Must be comforting leaving your bike outside for awhile knowing that it won’t get jacked.
That’s how it should be everywhere
A perk of living in a homogenous society……
@@notafortnitegamer what are you implying?
Actually that’s not true bikes and umbrellas are the only things that are commonly stolen in Japan !

Oh yeah, this is the type of person learn me how to be nice in society ! Thank you for the lesson !
It's not worth it. You have to make about 350 deliveries a month to get $1,000. For all that effort in the heat or cold, it's really not worth it.

cuz its unseen streets, people, buildings

HA i thought the same thing
bro probably came to japan to find a waifu
@@drippincorpse Probably was hoping one would be delivering his burger king
I just moved back to the states from Tokyo one month ago. One of my sharehouse roommates was borderline hikikomori who ordered food every day. I will keep watching to see if you deliver to him 😂

Can we all just appreciate how nice it is to be able to leave your bike and backpack outside safely, and walk back with the food there.

Japan is the country we all wish our own was like.
This seems like such a chill job
Except when the reality of how he’s biking kicks in.. especially in that heat lol
lol delivery is never chill.
man i have no idea how i found your videos but love them! keep it up bro!
Eddy when you cover your head, that is good for winter time. But if its summer time, I think that you should let the air cool your head.
That Indonesian guy's jacket was crazy!
If you want to damage your head, thats fine for you. But wearing a hat help your head not burn from the UV
Yeah but even during summer it’s so comfy cozy to have it on head haha 🤣 I used to do that 😅

all of that was only 30 usd???? thats theft wtf he deserves way more

What "all that" ? It was just 2 hours. It's nothing
My guy, we get 40€ for a full day of work where I live

Hi Eddy, in one of your videos you were talking about getting an e-bike so I share my experience with you :
instead of buying a full bike I've found a kit to convert a regular bike into a real electric bike.
It's a 1500watts engine mounted on a wheel, easy to adapt onto a regular bike , going 60km/h, with a 18Ah 48v battery able to make a lot of kilometers.
Only coasted 600€ for kit + battery 4 years ago.
If you're interested make sure to take a look at the regulations for this type of bike in Japan.
Ask me for some advice if you wanna make your own( especiallay about having the adapted battery for your kit).

Just found you today, subbed, like the video format and editing style. Keep hustling.
I love how the youtube algorithm recommends me your channel I wish you 100k subs in the future you deserve it!!!
It looks so normal when you see it through the eyes of a delivery service, I’m not used to seeing Japan un-glamorised lol
Awesome video man, what a great day to be alive it seems!
Sick content bro love watching. Hope you blow up! Stay consistent don’t ever give up🔥
Just found your channel from recommended and I’m very happy, loved this vid! Can’t wait to watch more 🔥

お疲れ様です Mr. Eddie, keep up the spirit, and I hope you are always healthy.
Thank you!🙏
awesome content man, i enjoy these rides with you. good luck out there
as an American i couldn't imagine going to a country like Japan to work, massive respect
I was riding around Tokyo on a scooter the other day, was hot as fuck out. Respect for this grind on the bike making deliveries.
came from work and randomly found this...Really interesting to see how many people don't want to leave the house when everything is so close.
Just subbed dude! The sped up sections on the bike are like something from a superhero movie!!

I met you in a hostel in Osaka last year. Actually wild I was coming out of work just now around omotesando and saw you cycle past me 😂

Must still be a lot nicer biking in this weather then walking, at least you got the wind.

The guy in the elevator "look at this " *inflates jacket* "if you dont have this in the summer you are toast !" hahaha awesome video keep it up
I would love to watch these videos without the sped up parts getting to your destination. I want to go on the journey too!
Bro almost had his Isekai moment 44 seconds into the video
lol people buying food delivery instead of walking 500 meters? thats insane
For ppl with disposable income, paying a little extra to not have to get ready and leave home isn’t a big deal
they should come out to the front of the building for this.
Bro your new to Japan and its culture just go back to France your tourist holiday visa is almost up enjoy Lyon
just keep going you are doing good. very interesting to see your journey
Great video, very interesting to see! I think the job looks fun actually and hard work since you're doing it on a bike! I really couldn't see myself doing that for only around 35 usd though. D:
