Japan has to be one of the most eccentric countries to visit. I enjoy watching these because it gives me ideas on where to visit when I travel.
Japan really is a treasure trove of unique experiences. I'm glad these videos inspire your travel plans!
Thank you so much for the experience! What a lovely way to spend my lunch break on a mini "vacation". I loved the retro nostalgic feel. When I was a child I went to a rotating restaurant in Vancouver BC Canada!
I'm thrilled you enjoyed the experience! Taking a mini "vacation" during lunch sounds like a wonderful idea. The retro vibe is something special, isn't it? Thanks for sharing your memory!
That was the most fun and unique amusement park I have ever seen! Thank you for showing us this wonderful nostalgic place. I had fun watching 🌞😄😄
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It's always a pleasure to share places that bring back good memories and create new ones. Thanks for watching! 😄
Wow so Amazing I love it 👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
These nostalgic slash retro amusement parks are just awesome. Definitely the things i'd visit once i would come to Japan. Thank you once again for such an awesome video. There is something about your style of making videos which i thoroughly enjoy. Godspeed to you and i can't wait for the next one 🙂
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy my style. Can't wait to share more with you. 🎥🎢
I'll never get tired of saying this, Japan is an amazing place 🤩
Also, nice homage to Akira Toriyama 🥲
Japan never ceases to amaze, right? 🤩 And I'm glad you appreciated the nod to Akira Toriyama!
We have a rotating restaurant here where I live in the US. It’s atop of what we call the Tower of the Americas in San Antonio, Texas. Unfortunately, the food is not so great for it being over expensive.
It's interesting to hear about the Tower of the Americas and its rotating restaurant! It's a shame when the culinary experience doesn't match up to the unique setting and view. Hopefully, there are other aspects of the visit that were enjoyable.
@@experience_japan the view is very beautiful I will say. That would be the good reason to visit if any tourist decide to come. ☺️
The miniatures were so cute!! I can't help but think that this place is what Lord Farquaad wanted Duloc to be!!
Thanks for the lovely comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the miniatures. They do give off a Duloc vibe, don't they? 😄
seeing you having fun with your trip makes me so happy and reminds me to go travelling more often to see things the world can offer, arigato for your videos :)
Thank you so much! It's wonderful to hear that my videos inspire you to travel more. The world has so much to offer, and I'm glad I could share a piece of it with you. Keep exploring!
The gray & white cat was cute. Way back in the 1950s there were many but Lassie, Flipper, Big Ben.
The cat stole the show, didn't it? It's fascinating how animal stars like Lassie and Flipper have left such a lasting impression. Thanks for sharing that bit of nostalgia!
You know good , an well you wanted to jump in the ball pit, with the colored balls.😂😂Now on the serious side that view was breathe taking. I loved how the ocean meets the sky just wonderful. Thank you for that. You didn't play the claw machine, you could have won something, maybe.😂😂The Gachas were so tiny but cute. Wonderful as always Thank you. I hope you enjoyed your time in the sky.😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your joyful comments! Indeed, the temptation to jump into the ball pit was real, but the breathtaking view was a worthy distraction. I'm glad you appreciated the beauty of where the ocean meets the sky. Missing out on the claw machine might be a small regret, but it's all part of the fun. The tiny Gachas added a cute touch to the experience. It's always a pleasure to share these moments, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the journey. Your support and enthusiasm mean the world to me. Here's to many more adventures together!
Looks so fun! 😊
wow, the ride up looked amazing, and that smaller ride looked uncomfortable, but yes, I'd still ride it. I think i accidently let out excitement noises when I saw the classic Sailor Moon ride. Sailor moon anime and manga really saved my life as a child, gave me something to keep pushing forward in. The cute little curry was amazing, and the cute baseball game is something I could spend hours playing! The rotating restaurant was nice, and we have one here, but it's far far away from me in Seattle. Seeing Dragon ball made me happy, yet sad. Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama. played many games with his characters, and watch a lot of Dragonball too. The hotdog and soda looked very yum! Such a wonderful video filled with amazing views and wonderful things and memories of my childhood. Thank you for another wonderful and amazing video, stay safe and wonderful in your travels dear friend!
Thank you for your kind words and sharing your feelings! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the video and it brought back memories. Sailor Moon has a special place in our hearts too. I'll keep exploring and sharing more amazing places. Stay safe and happy, my friend!
There is a rotating restaurant here in Epcot in Orlando, Florida.
I live in San Antonio, Texas where we have the Tower of Americus. At the top of the tower, there is a rotating restaurant and the lower floor is an observation deck. I've been there once and want to go back. The park in Kobe looks fun to go to, I would want to try all the rides too and the food at the restaurant. Thank-you for the bringing us along for your trips.
Thank you .The weather was beautiful up to 80 degrees just a warm inviting lovely atmosphere just a great way to celebrate Easter. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So happy to hear you had beautiful weather for Easter! Sounds like a perfect day. Thank you for sharing your joy with us! ❤
Yes I recognize the music. But cannot remember the title of the song. Beautiful views of the ocean.
I enjoy your channel.
Thank you so much! Your support means a lot to us. We're thrilled to have you as part of our community and look forward to bringing you more enjoyable content.
We had a revolving restaurant that was very fancy back in the 80s and early 90s in a high rise building in my city of Rochester NY!!! Unfortunately it closed years ago and never reopened as anything else. Also that hotdog looked AMAZING! You can tell the Japanese really take pride in their businesses and jobs which is something you don’t see in America so much anymore which is why things always close and reopen as something else every few years. I also noticed at the end during the carlator ride they were playing Suwannee river in the background!!!! Amazing! This park was so awesome they should never change a thing so nostalgic!
I really appreciate your detailed observation! It's a shame about the restaurant in Rochester, but memories like that add character to a city. And yes, the commitment in Japan to quality and pride in work is truly admirable. It's great to hear you enjoyed the video so much, including the little details like the music. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@@experience_japan it is my pleasure! Thank you so much for sharing these amazing videos!!!
We have a rotating restaurant too, but it is on top of a Hotel in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, USA. There are so many beautiful places to see in Japan. Thank you for showing them to us.
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoy the views of Japan I share. It's amazing how many unique places there are around the world, like your rotating restaurant in Phoenix. Thanks for watching!
i like these longer videos
Thank you for continuing to find fun things to do and sharing it with us, I do enjoy these trips. That Crab Panic game made me sad...poor thing has been so abused and that pedal monorail looks like a fun way to do some leg exercises.
Can't wait to see where we go next!
I'm so glad you're enjoying the adventures! It's always fun to find new ways to explore and exercise. Thanks for the support, and I'm excited to take you on our next journey!

I couldn't help but laugh at the completely dead crab. 🤣🦀
I'm glad you found humor in that moment! Sometimes, it's the unexpected things that give us a good laugh. Thanks for sharing your joy!
Wow look at that view 🙀 everyone seems to enjoy the shaky ride music very soothing , games were fun😁 I can see the moving when you are eating why is the soda green🤔 best day ever thank you 🥰😘
Wow, thanks for the enthusiastic feedback! Glad you enjoyed everything, from the view to the games. About the green soda, it's just one of those fun quirks! Best day ever? That's awesome to hear. Thank you! 🥰😘
This whole video gives off such comforting vibes. What a wonderful place. I hope it continues to be preserved for year to come. A simple yet nostalgic place frozen in time.
17:44 In Germany, some television towers have a rotating restaurant, e.g. the television tower in Berlin or the Rhine Tower in Düsseldorf.
That's fascinating! I'd love to visit those places someday. Thanks for letting me know!
Thank you.
I'm happy you saw a real jukebox.
Thank you! Seeing a real jukebox was indeed a special experience. 😊
Retro heaven! I love it!!!
We have loads of rotating restaraunts in Wales, as most of our chip shops are on roundabouts. 😁
Haha, that's a fun fact! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the love!
17:44 Hi! I live in Atlanta, Ga, USA. We do have a restaurant on top of a hotel here, the whole building is round. It’s called the Sundial restaurant. It rotates 360° also. It’s an upscale restaurant and very expensive. I was there many many yrs ago, but only had drinks. 🍹The hotel name is the Westin Peachtree Plaza.
Wow, that sounds like an amazing place! Thanks for sharing your experience. I'll have to check it out if I'm ever in Atlanta. 🍹
The pedal monorail was awesome! I'm sure it was tiring haha.
The little Baseball game was cool too! I never played anything like that in arcades in the USA. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed the pedal monorail and the baseball game! It's always fun to try out unique games. Thanks for watching!
I love rotating restaurants: the first one I went to was in the CN Tower in Toronto, the second one was somewhere in the US but as I was pretty young, I don't remember exactly where.
Growing up, there would be small jukeboxes on the tables in the restaurants, usually playing Motown or Country and Western. I'm really aging myself 😂
I too hope this stays open forever. The upkeep must be difficult but it's still impeccable and even reminds me of my youth. Thanks for the great time. I loved the lift down too!
Rotating restaurants have such a unique charm, don't they? I'm glad it brought back good memories. Keeping places like this going is indeed a challenge, but so worth it. Glad you enjoyed the lift as well!
That was so neat! Thanks for taking us along. I liked the train character. The hot dog looked really good.
Glad you enjoyed the journey! The train character is a favorite of many. And yes, the hot dog was delicious!
Amazing! Loved every minute. It felt like a true time capsule. 😊❤❤❤
I ❤the music, too! 🎶😌🎶.
I like the cat one
Love crab games
I laughed out loud when you were hitting those crabs
What an interesting place and the rides up to the top were amazing and so unique!
I'm so glad you found it interesting! The journey to the top is indeed a special experience. Thanks for watching!
Another fun trip! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for coming along!
Great and funny vid ! And you are for sure a gentleman of good taste : super classy HERMES strap on your Apple Watch : top notch ! Warm greetings from France. 🇯🇵🇨🇵
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and noticed the strap. Greetings from Japan, and I hope to share more interesting content with you!
Many thanks for your " très aimable " reply ! Be certain I’ll be watching. @@experience_japan
I would love to visit this retro park! I do have a slight fear of heights, so a few of the rides might make me anxious, but I think that it would still be a fun experience.
Overcoming fears can often lead to the most memorable experiences. Plus, there's plenty to enjoy at a retro park besides the rides, like the atmosphere, games, and snacks. Hope you get to visit and have a fantastic time!
Thank you for the fun video! The Space Needle's restaurant, in Seattle, Wash., also rotates 360 degrees (which was also built in 1962!). This park looks more peaceful and relaxing! Always enjoying your videos! Thank you, again!
Arigato for the fun trip. I feel like going there with you 😊😊
So happy you enjoyed the trip! It would be great to explore together. Let's plan for it someday 😊
Very wonderful view thank you for sharing!! In America and Europe they call these funiculars. A very strange name lol but same concept!
Thanks for watching! Yeah, "funicular" is quite the unique term. I'm glad you enjoyed the view!
Most Amazing and uncomfy video till now😅
what an absolutely cool place! and they have palm-trees too 🌴🌴would love to visit some time. and so many cool rides and stuff, that pedaling thing looked awesome, would love to try that too
I'm glad you think so! The palm trees definitely add to the vibe. Hope you get to visit and try out the pedaling ride-it's as fun as it looks!
There's a restaurant in San Antonio, Texas, USA that rotates as well.
Oh, that's cool! I'll have to check it out if I'm ever in the area. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for sharing this experience with us.Your videos always keep me entertaind.😊
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to hear you enjoy my videos. 😊
Is it wrong that this video of your discomfort brings me peace and happiness? 😂😂
Haha, not at all! If my experiences can bring a smile to your face, then it's all worth it. 😂
Thanks for the video❤
It's So beautiful and funny place to visit😍❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤
What a great video! Restaurant was cool, but that ski lift ride....omg not for me!! Thx for the video👍
Glad you enjoyed the video! The ski lift isn't for everyone, but I'm happy you liked the restaurant part. Thanks for the support! 👍
That was fun. Thanks for the vid. I love places like that that are fun but relaxing and no 2 hour waiting lines. When you showed the miniature food you got, I was fooled and thought it was your actual lunch. I thought it looked delicious. Then you showed the real lunch and I laughed at myself.
I think that tune I recognized was A Summer's Dream.
That's awesome that you recognized it! "A Summer's Dream" has such a nostalgic and dreamy vibe. It's great to hear it brings back memories or feelings for you
This was a very fun time!
There are heaps of revolving resturants in Australia... it is quite popular!
Wow, that's interesting! I didn't realize revolving restaurants were so popular in Australia. Must add it to my must-visit list. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Wow! Looks terrifyingly fun!
What a fun ride 👍
30:07 I just love how Japan makes mascots for anything and everything haha. Both are really cute!
That was very fun! A great variety of things to do and see! In Boston, there was a famous restaurant called Top of the Hub on the 52nd floor of the Prudential Center (the tallest building until they built the John Hancock tower). Needless to say, on a clear day, the view was incredible. It closed in 2020, but for decades, it was THE special place restaurant. There are other rotating restaurants, but...none so grand.
I think I watch too many action movies...that music made me think a fight was about to break out, ala John Wick! Hahaha! Glad that didn't happen....
Thank you again for another very interesting and informative video! Until next time, be well and happy!
I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video! The story of Top of the Hub sounds like it was a true gem of Boston. It's always fascinating to hear about such special places that become part of a city's identity. And don't worry, a little action movie excitement adds to the fun, doesn't it? 😄 Looking forward to sharing more with you. Take care and stay happy!
Great video, looks like this amusement park going viral in recent time, since I've seen three times on RUclips.
Thanks for watching! It seems like it's really catching on. Glad you found it interesting too!
The Space Needle in Seattle, Washington rotates like that. In the time it takes to have a full meal there, you’ll get at least one full rotation.
That's so cool! Dining with a view that constantly changes must be an unforgettable experience. Thanks for sharing!
I ate a delicious breakfast their with my family. Some of the best pancakes I've ever had in the old Space Needle.
hello! I really enjoyed your video and retro vibe, thank you for your content! but what I liked the most were your jeans 👀 if you don't mind, tell me what brand are these jeans please? they look very cool! thank you
Thanks so much! Glad you liked the vibe and especially the jeans 😄 They're from UDA denim! I totally recommend checking them out. Cheers!
Hyogo is one of my favorite places in Japan. The people are wonderful there and the prefecture is beautiful. I love Kansai. Its the best part of Japan in my opinion.
I'm so glad you love Hyogo and the Kansai region! It truly is a gem. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊
Would love to try the ascending car. The level of comfort is what makes it unique. 😊
Definitely worth a try for the unique experience! Glad you found it interesting. 😊
On a Cherry Tree the bark will be a deep red.
That's a beautiful observation! Cherry trees have such distinctive features, don't they?
@@experience_japan Oh Yes. The scent is so wonderful.
The views you got are incredible.
Looks like the arcade could use an update.
The rotating restaurant is really nice
Amazing experience. Lucky man.
Very!
Hi, at first we ( my husband and I) love and enjoy your channel. Yes we have in Austria - Vienna a rotating restaurant on the Danubetower 150 meters high. 360 degrees. And at 165 there is a short slide on the tower. Nice greatings from vienna 🇦🇹
So happy to hear you enjoy the channel! The rotating restaurant and slide on the Danube Tower sound amazing. Thank you for sharing, and warm greetings to you in Vienna! 🌍💖
Thanks for your recommendation ❤️
Beautiful vlog man. Love from India. ❤
RIP Akira Toriyama ☮️
7:30 🎼🎶"When life doesn't seem worth the living, and you don't really care who you are. When you feel there is no one beside you, look for a star."🎶
Can you imagine what it is like to be working there on this ride and hearing that same tune over and over and over and over again all day long? 🥴🤯💥😵💥
As far as i know there's 2 place in my state that have that rotating system, 1st in alor setar tower location in kedah, Malaysia, it's also a rotating restaurant. 2nd also in kedah, in a muzium padi or paddy museum, they showcasing a lot of stuff related to early paddy production and on the highest floor there rotating platform from which visitors can admire a 360 degree diorama and mural which has been painted on the entire inside wall of the upper level.
I wanna visit that mountain park!
Dam, you make such awesome videos
Thanks so much! You definitely should visit, it's amazing!
Please share this video to your friends! LOL
If your saying its uncomfortable , i can imagine it will be way more uncomfortable
Yeah, I try to be honest about my experiences. Thanks for understanding!
Thanks a lot.
This looks like a nice place for a date 😊
Retro music was amazing and that baseball game smile on his face 😂😂 and surely he needs to lose some weight 😂. These games sure are addictive like you can play all day until you win
The wanted poster is a reminder that even in a paradise like Japan crime is a problem, meaning you should always keep your guard up and stay safe as you explore this wonderful country.
I would love to ride this!
Well I very COMFORTABLE watching this video. Thank you for sharing your fun day. :) p.s. don't mind the nitpicker...we all have a typo in our lives at one time or another...or lots in mine 😂😂
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. Haha, typos are a part of life, aren't they? 😂
Fun video!
that crab whack is giving up, hope they repair it soon. I surprised in the middle of Japan's weird futuristic yet weird tech, there's still places that preserve the old times
Thanks for pointing that out! We're on it and hope to have the crab whack back in action soon. It's indeed a unique mix of the old and new here in Japan. 🦀
I like the mysterious cat best.
The mysterious cat certainly has its own unique allure. Glad you liked it!
OMG that looked So amazing!! Like a place Grandparent's would take there grand kid's, So neat and probably very Nostalgic for you Possibly? When you did the bike ride around the Sky I had to show my partner cause it would be something that I would love to do! Though I doubt that the little seat's would fit either of us. Thank you for taking us along for the ride's and view's! You asked about Rotating restaurant's There's Several state's listed that have them But most of them closed due to well as you stated Cost of repairs/upkeep. Skycity In Seattle Is now a bar which kinda Suck's. There's 11 Across like 21 state's that are left..that still spin. Thank you Again for Taking us along with you!
Thanks so much for your excitement and sharing your thoughts! I'm thrilled you found the bike ride around the sky as fascinating as I did. It's a shame about the rotating restaurants, but I guess that's the way things go sometimes. Glad you enjoyed the journey with me!
Unlike America, I love all the clear posted step-by-step instructions for all things. Not knowing the proper procedure turns some people away, and we don't do this.
hey, was wondering what are the weight limits for the moving rides?
Sorry, I don't know. I forgot to look at the specific numbers.
Serious question! Does it ever get warm enough in Japan to go swimming in the ocean? I used to live in North-east coast of the US and never once remember the water being warm enough for a comfortable swim. How does swim season go in Japan?
Yes, of course!
In Japan, you can swim in the ocean anywhere except in relatively high latitude areas such as Hokkaido and Tohoku.
At Suma Beach, shown in this video, the water temperature rises to 28°C in August, so everyone enjoys swimming.
@@experience_japan how long is your summer period for comfortable swimming in the ocean?
About two months, i guess. From middle of June to middle of Sep@@CammyAlwaysWins
It looks like a Willy wonka ride
Except without the chocolate factory from hell
One thing that surprised me was Japan has beaches. I knew they did, but I always forget cause it is something that does not get a lot of attention.
Those games arcades always smell of French fries, candy and sweat?😀
Haha, you've got a good sense of smell! It's part of the charm, right? 😄
@@experience_japan just a long memory?😁
Rotating restaurants Moon and UFO in Rotterdam, the Netherlands 😃🤘🏼🤩
That looks a little scary!!
Yeah, it was🤣🤣
@@experience_japan I bet!
You are very brave for playing the dragon ball theme full blast in public like that
Haha, thanks! Sometimes you just have to go full Super Saiyan mode. Glad you enjoyed it!
I Really Like This Retro Amusement Park!
Would love to ride the lift but my intrusive thoughts would win.
I'd want to jump off. Lol
Would Love to hug and Squeeze both Characters at the end.
They Are Both Cute!!✨
Glad you enjoyed the retro vibes! 😄 The lift is an experience, but I totally get the feeling. And those characters are indeed hug-worthy!
Also meant to tell you Happy Easter 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy Easter to you too! Thank you so much for the lovely wishes. I hope your Easter is filled with happiness, peace, and lots of love. 😊
I felt UMCONFORTABLE
What do you mean?
THANKS!!
@@gusgus2539I’d avoid channels that are ESL, if this upsets you
@@shintaka7697it was clearly a typo; the title was correct, at the beginning of the video it read umconfortable. No biggie.
@@experience_japanI make typos too and the title was correct. No need to worry about it. I bet many people didn't catch it or just weren't bothered, like me.
Maybe somewhere in USA. Not in my area of Western NV.
This was the most American experience I’ve ever seen. Which is sad to say because this was the cheapest looking thing you have done. 😅
Those look like shopping carts
That Sucked
