Just the video I was waiting for on this boring sunday! Japan has always held some sentimental value. I enjoy the food, I enjoy the pop culture, and I've wanted to go my whole life, and now I have another great view of it from my favorite gaming youtuber! Thanks, and hope your time there is amazing.
Pete dorrs channel is the last place I thought I'd drool over a car but that Supra at 15:44 :0 Great video Pete, love seeing what Japan is like through this perspective and not the typical flashy pictures we see of Tokyo and nothing else. Looks like an awesome place.
As a long-time subscriber, it makes me happy seeing you live the dream and take the first step into the weird yet awesome land known as Japan. I've been in Japan (Kyoto) for eight months now, and though it can be overwhelming at times, it's not an experience to be missed. I hope you enjoy your time here. And while you're in the country, don't forget to try the japanese ice cream, especially the popsicles. It's the stuff of heaven.
So jealous of you Petey D: Japan seems so mysterious and awesome. I bet you could literally walk around for hours every day and find something new and interesting.
Watching this from the future! I didn't realize you lived in the Shizuoka area! Super cool, it's a great place. I've been feeling a little burned out on Japan life lately and this really reinvigorated me by reminding me of the simple pleasures of just walking around and enjoying little things like the streets and konbinis. great video!
One of my most memorable moments in Japan was getting literally lost in the neighborhood without a phone as I explored. I had to use a tower in the distance that I recognized from earlier as a landmark to make my way back where I needed to be. Place was empty, felt like I was in a video game, but it’s moments like that I will never forget.
Ahh dude I forgot you were going!! I hope you make more walking around videos like this, I really love Japanese streets and architecture so I could watch this kind of stuff for hours. Hope you're having an awesome time!
You are making me want to hop a plane to visit Japan again right now. :( Really cool to hear about your experiences/impressions. Reminds me of my first time to Japan. Take it all in and enjoy!
I was stationed in Japan for a year and loved it. I tell the wife all the time that I want to take her and the kids there. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience Pete. Brought back some great memories.
Wow, it was cool seeing a normal Japanese town/city. It really looked like you were walking in an anime. Hope you are having a good time Pete, do a video with your host family if you can, we would love to meet them.
Good to hear you're enjoying your time here and that you're making an effort to get out and explore. Good on ya. I frequent Akiba quite a lot, so do let me know if you need some help finding Super Potato or any of the other retro stores there. Oh, and you can film in the retro game stores in Akiba, no probs.
I loved this video, Pete! It'd be great if you made videos like this even when you're back at home, just recording you walking around with your phone! Like a weekly blog where you update with your life, be it video-game related or not. Personally, I'd love that!!
We had Qoo here in Germany many years ago. I miss it... I am learning Katakana right now to prepare for my japanese classes I'm trying to take a few month from now. It's really fun to read it. Awesome video, Pete! Looking forward to more!
I really loved walking around in Japan. Everything is just so similar, but different. You'll find Super Potato. It's on the western side of the main street, I think in the same building as that NHS/Taito arcade but in the back! You'll have to go upstairs. You can find the logo on the building. Google Maps is your friend.
I lived in Okinawa Japan for 3 years as a kid, but I was to young to really enjoy it and we lived on a Military base. You would find it hilarious how tiny their portions are at Mc Donalds. You will also find it scary how many tombs fill up the island. It was an extremely small, confined place.
so nice that you are in japan man, i will always love to go there.. especially i really want to see the mount FUJI'' i always had a strange supernatural dream with that place.. i need to go there,to see wat i will find related to my dreams.. so how you liked there?
holy shit please if you get the chance, do a video on gachapon machines! ive been interested in what they have in terms of video game ones, im still looking for the god eaters ones
Pete, if/when you make it to Tokyo you gotta check out the arcade called Mikado (ミカド）. It has the best selection of shmups and oldschool driving gave cabinets. Outrun with the hydraulics. It's in Takadanobaba on the the Yamanote line. Let me know if you want a guide.
It's the cities and towns outside of Tokyo that is "the real japan" though, Tokyo is very westernized yet still "japan crazy", it's those more rural places like this that's the real vibe of Japan. I travelled around for 3 weeks, we spent some days in Tokyo at the beginning and end of the journey. Tokyo was the place I liked the least. It was too crowded and busy.
Super Potato is easy to find. Walk into Taitio Hirose Arcade. the one with the orange sign. walk into it and straight forward and exit out the back. the you're on the street where Super Potato are. just walk to the right and it's right there
I love watching these every once in a while. Relaxes me before I sleep.
same here
Thanks Pete for the update man im glad your doing well! I really appreciate the video its really cool to see how Japan looks! Stay safe!
Pete Dorr was a Jtube and a video game RUclips OG haha. Had to walk back down memory lane.

Really nice vid, its nice to see other cultures that I may never get to see for myself. Be sure to upload your game finds.
That is amazing! You have an incredible view of Mount Fuji! All I can see from my window is boring houses and some tress. :/ I wish I lived in Japan.
You should totally do more of these walking videos!
Hope you have a great time in japan pete :)
Awesome video, enjoyed every second of it. Be safe out there.

We had Qoo here in Germany many years ago. I miss it...
I am learning Katakana right now to prepare for my japanese classes I'm trying to take a few month from now. It's really fun to read it. Awesome video, Pete! Looking forward to more!

Pete, I really enjoyed this video! When you went into a store or to a vending machine, I thought about Shenmue!
Really awesome view...yup,a lot of old houses...okay
Thanks for the update Pete glad your having a good time Japan is rad!
I'm envious of his collection too.
Enjoy the trip. Wish i could go to Japan one day. Very impress by how clean the streets look, even on rural place, you find trash in North America.
Awesome video Pete!
Seems like a nice place, most of Japan i've seen (on the internet) looked very hectic and so on, but this seems like something more to my liking.
This was a pretty interesting video :)
Enjoy your trip
I notice how clean the city is am impressed. If only people here in the state can be that clean it would be nice.
Man Your awesome Pete i love the vids
damn i havent been to japan since '07, Im lucky to have family over there, hope you enjoy your stay over there dude! that place is badass!
Very cool, enjoy the experience!!!
If you come across a video arcade ..would love to see some footage of that.
Very cool video Pete.

Japan looks very clean.
wow you say that's more of a "rural" area, when i think rural here in Australia, what your in looks more like a suburb. Hope your having a blast Pete!
YOU THE BEST PETE!
so nice that you are in japan man, i will always love to go there.. especially i really want to see the mount FUJI'' i always had a strange supernatural dream with that place.. i need to go there,to see wat i will find related to my dreams.. so how you liked there?
I'm glad you're there, but you gotta post videos more often dude
Pete, the worlds slowest walker! Have fun, you're living the dream, mate.
awesome video pete
japan is so awesome! i wanna travel there but that aint happening anytime soon. thanks for the video
Thanks for all the comments guys, new update video is coming very soon!
Japan is where guys like us belong bro. Keep up the travels and games
I wanna see the game store!!!
Nice video
Very interesting Pete cheers!
Great vlog keep it going!
holy shit please if you get the chance, do a video on gachapon machines! ive been interested in what they have in terms of video game ones, im still looking for the god eaters ones
is there a reason why they don't allow pictures in those kinds of shops? it makes me think they selling bootleggs or something like that
If you go to the supermarkets you can usually get the same drinks you can find at the convenience stores, but for less than 100 Yen.
I think I'd like to live in Japan for a few months, always wanted to go, the plane ride scares me too much.
Fascinating video!
I can see you living in Japan one day. Its right up your alley :-)
Pete, if/when you make it to Tokyo you gotta check out the arcade called Mikado (ミカド）. It has the best selection of shmups and oldschool driving gave cabinets. Outrun with the hydraulics. It's in Takadanobaba on the the Yamanote line. Let me know if you want a guide.
