Japanese Apartment Tour in Osaka, Japan
Join us for a Japanese Apartment Tour in Osaka, Japan as we showcase our airbnb rental that we stayed in for just over a week. Before coming to Japan we had this preconceived idea that all of our accommodations in Japan would be tiny and expensive. I suppose we thought of our experience in cities like Hong Kong and Singapore and assumed we'd be cramped for most of our trip. Surprisingly we found not only larger apartments that we expected but prices that were very reasonable and conveniently located nearby metro stations. Our Osaka apartment was in a great location (stone throw away from a metro), was quite spacious and was inexpensive. The fascinating thing about Japanese apartments is that space efficiency is maximized in a way you don't see outside of Asia in Europe or in North America. For example, sliding doors that don't take up space, chairs that can stored under tables and a bed big enough that a suitcase can fit underneath. Overall, we'd say our apartment in Osaka, Japan was excellent value, comfortable and located just perfect for our trip. We'd highly recommend this place:

Japanese Apartment Tour in Osaka, Japan Travel Video Transcript:
Today is a bit of a rainy day here in Osaka. Not ideal for sightseeing so we figured let's give you an apartment tour of our place here in the city. We've been staying here for about a week and we got this place for $30 US dollars a night. That is a steal for Japan. Like that is so budget friendly in my opinion. We're going to go upstairs and we're going to give you the grand tour.
We made it to our floor. First things first we've got a little hook for our umbrella. Everyone keeps their umbrellas outside. No one takes them. That is wonderful.
We are inside the apartment and if you've been traveling in Asia you know that no shoes are allowed inside the house. This is the area where you take off your dirty shoes and then you have this little cupboard. You've got your cupboard for all of the shoes. Little shoe rack. You put your shoes in.
This is our bathroom and it has three different sections. It is the largest Japanese bathroom I've ever seen. When we were looking at properties I was actually kind of surprised by the size of it.
We are now inside the bathroom and this first section here it basically has a washing machine. A large sink, a mirror. This is where you brush your teeth. Get ready in the morning. Then over here behind this frosted glass door we have our shower and our bathtub. Now I just had a shower so the floor is soaking wet. I'm going to put on my flip flops. Flips flops.
Outside. Basically you have a bathtub. It is a short bathtub. You have to be shorter than me I feel to like stretch out your legs. Definitely shorter than me. And then we also have a shower head. You shower in this section. The floor gets wet. And then basically the water goes through this drain down here. It drains there. Something I've got to mention is the water pressure is awesome here.
And then we have our toilet. It is compartmentalized. It is small. It is little but it has got everything you need. And I need to show you this. When you flush the toilet. So this is the toilet handle.
You can wash your hands and like the water you are using to wash your hands is used to fill the tank. So you are not wasting any water. That is genius.
That is a wrap for our Osaka apartment tour. I hope you guys enjoyed that and that you have an idea of what to expect in the city.
I think there are some really budget friendly properties when we were looking there were a lot of places that were listed for like 30 or 40 dollars a night for like private apartments. We found this place on airbnb.
This is part of our Travel in Japan video series showcasing Japanese food, Japanese culture and Japanese cuisine.

Tokyo Nightlife in Japan: TOP 30 Bars & Clubs
This is my Ultimate Tokyo Nightlife Guide featuring the TOP 30 bars & nightclubs which I carefully selected including places such as Club Camelot, Hollow Point, Fight Club 428, ELE Tokyo, 1 OAK, Buri and of course Ageha, the best nightclub in Japan. Subscribe to my channel ► for weekly videos!
NEW: 7-Day Tokyo Pocket Itinerary
+ tons of Tokyo discount tickets
Tokyo is absolutely massive, with most popular nightlife hot spots located in Shibuya, Roppongi and Shinjuku districts. There are so many bars and nightclubs in Tokyo, you may wonder - Where do I start? Based on age, I would say Shibuya is for the Japanese youth/teenagers, Roppongi for the 25+ crowd and Shinjuku for the 35+ crowd.
Join the Tokyo Pub Crawl for just $24 + 20% discount!
(best way to start off you night)

Osaka Nightlife: TOP 20 Bars & Clubs (NEW)
The best possible thing you can do is join the Tokyo Pub Crawl on Friday in Roppongi and explore the nightlife of Shibuya on Saturday, those are the best days for an epic weekend in Tokyo.
If you make new friends in Tokyo, you will eventually be asked to be added to LINE. LINE is 'the' chat app in Japan, so if you do not have DATA on your phone during your stay, make sure to rent a dirt cheap pocket Wifi station at the airport. You can take these pocket Wifi stations all over the country and allow you to connect many of your devices. It even fits in your back pocket. Luckily, there is a 30% discount on Ninja pocket Wifi stations on Voyagin. I personally rent this device everytime when I visit Japan.
30% discount on Ninja Pocket Wifi rental, pickup at Airport
- just $6 USD per day!
(works all over Japan)
Nightlife in Japan is beyond incredible! The most popular nightclubs in Tokyo include Club Camelot in Shibuya, ELE Tokyo in Roppongi and Ageha Nightclub in Koto City. Ageha is the best nightclub in Japan, it will be an all night event since it is quite far from downtown but on a big event night you will be amazed by the gorgeous girls, cool dudes and a fantastic sound system. This mega club stays open until 5am and should be high on your Tokyo party bucket list.
Tokyo has the best quality of food in the world, that's why you have to visit at least one of its many izakaya's to try a bunch of authentic Japanese dishes, like Eihire (grilled stingray), Sakura (raw horse meat) and Yakitori (skewered chicken meat). Visit izakaya's Umiya or Sumire in Shibuya to enjoy these dishes.
After dinner join the Tokyo Pub Crawl on Friday @ 8pm which lasts until 12am (4 hours) during which you will visit 3 bars and 1 epic nightclub. Tokyo Pub Crawl is a great event to meet travelers, locals, expats and fully hosted in English. What many travelers do not realize is that English isn't commonly spoken at bars and nightclubs, thus the pub crawl is a great first start. The Tokyo Pub Crawl is ONLY $20 USD for 4 hours of fun, you truly cannot go wrong.
Studying a bit of Japanese and learning common phrases prior to your arrival will definitely make your nightlife experience in Japan 10x times better. I've made many incredible friends during my 6 visits to Japan and these have been some of my most treasured memories by being able to speak a bit of Japanese.
I truly have seen it all in Tokyo since my first Tokyo Nightlife experience back in 2007 - I've seen many bars and clubs come and go, that's why I decided to compile the best possible list for an epic party weekend in the capital of Japan.
Food in Tokyo is very important to me, I highly recommend you also watch my video: 10 MUST-EAT Foods in Tokyo. Also, do not forget to join the insane Mario Kart Tokyo experience which you can purchase with a 37% discount for Mario Kart Tokyo, speaking of discounts, there is a 34% discount for the Robot Restaurant as well.
34% OFF Robot Restaurant
In conclusion, the Tokyo Nightlife is one of world's finest but often travelers have no idea where to go or where to start. There seems to be a lot of confusion as to where the good parties are in town that's why I decided to create this master Tokyo nightlife list of all the things I learned about Tokyo during my 6x visits in the past decade.

Conveyor Belt Sushi in Osaka, Japan (回転寿司) | Cheap Kaiten Sushi for $1! ????
Join us for a cheap sushi review in Japan as we head to a conveyer belt sushi restaurant in Osaka to try Kaiten sushi (回転寿司) for $1 a piece! Also known as a sushi train the rotating conveyer belt winds and twists by every table where customers can grab whatever they like or order a special custom dish or desert. Different colour plates represent different prices and the final bill is based on the amount of plates you've consumed. In our opinion it is one of the most fun ways to eat sushi in Japan. However, these restaurants are known more for their cheap prices than they are for quality, so if you're looking to try the best of the best sushi in Japan this is definitely not where you'll want to go. However, we still found everything to be quite tasty and we'd recommend this type of sushi (すし) restaurant for the experience and value it represents.

Conveyor Belt Sushi in Osaka, Japan | Cheap Kaiten Sushi for $1! ???? Video Transcript:
Well hello hello guys. Hey guys. It is lunchtime here and today we're going for a truly Japanese experience. We are going to be having conveyer belt sushi. Conveyer belt sushi (回転寿司) which is also known locally as Kaiten sushi (回転寿司). Yes. So excited. Yeah we've actually had this before in other countries. Yeah. So this is our first time to have it though in Japan and we're super pumped and we've brought our appetites.
So we finally found the restaurant. It was a little bit complicated because it is on a second floor. I know. We ended up walking through a casino trying to get here. Through a Pachinko Parlor. This place looked like a gas station from the exterior. It did. Super confusing but we made it. We're upstairs. Second floor. They handed us this little map so we are table 29 and then you find your way to your own table.
And then on the side they've got the conveyer. They've got the conveyer belt with all of the little plates. On the side. Look at that. Everything looks so good. It does. We're just going to dig right in. And I think this place just opened like a few minutes ago. I believe it opens at 10:20 am the morning so pretty early. You can satisfy your sushi cravings.
Alright guys so that was a wonderful conveyer belt sushi meal. A feast of sushi conveyer belt feasts.
It is time for me to check out. And as you can tell here this is all of the data we've accumulated. We have 17 plates. I'm not sure what the 14 means. I think that is just maybe our station. And I have no idea what that means. It also tracks our dessert items. Yes, it does.
We can press the check out.
We just finished paying the bill. We sure did. The way it works is you press the check-out button yep on the tablet. Then a guy comes over he makes sure you've put in all your plates. To make sure everything is being tracked. Then you go to the front with the little number you get when you first arrive at the restaurant and then you pay. You pay. Exactly.
The total was the total came to 2376 Yen which was what $21.70 US dollars. Less than 22 US dollars. Yes. For all of that sushi (すし). Less than eleven US dollars per person. It was so good. And we're leaving stuffed. It was so good. Yeah. And it was just such a fun experience. Yes. I would come back again. In fact we have a friend we'll be meeting up with in Tokyo and we want to take him there. We're going to take him to this chain.

Japanese Canned Food Restaurant ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Osaka's Dotonbori area is known for its amazing street food but after trying it all last time, we headed for a wacky canned food themed restaurant nearby. That's right -- it's ALL CANS! Japanese cuisine in a can? You got it -- Only in Japan!
In a country famous for it's beautifully prepared, Michelin starred cuisine, how far off course does MR KANSO go? How good (or how bad) can it be? Kevin Riley and I try 5 canned foods that interest us then rank them. In the restaurant, there are over 300 different canned food choices!
The Top 5 cans we tried are:
★ Honey Mustard Bacon in a can
★ Takoyaki in a can
★ Dashi maki in a can
★ Buri Daikon in a can
★ Uni (Sea Urchin) in a can
This restaurant is all cans, cans, cans! It's insanity!
Would you eat this? (It's actually pretty good!)

Trying Ramen Noodles in Osaka, Japan ????
Come join us for another Japanese food review video in Osaka, Japan where this time we are trying Ramen noodles in Osaka, Japan in a famous neighbourhood called Dōtonbori. For those who have never tried Japanese Ramen, they are wheat noodles served in a meat and/or fish broth flavored with both soy sauce and miso with typical toppings added including dried seaweed, green onions, sliced pork and gyoza dumplings. Each prefecture in Japan has its own variation and so if you're traveling around Japan you can try a different style of ramen wherever you go. For this particular food video we were still fighting jeg lag so we ended up having ramen for breakfast. It is the type of meal you can eat anytime of day as many shops are 24 hours in busy parts of Osaka. If you'd like to try ramen at the same shop we visited the address is listed below:
Kamukura Dotombori
Ramen Restaurant
Address: 1 Chome-7-２５ Dotonbori, Chuo Ward, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture 542-0071, Japan
Phone: +81 6-6211-3790
Have you tried Ramen before? What was the best Japanese ramen you've ever had? Let us know in the comments below.

Trying Ramen Noodles in Osaka, Japan ???? Travel Food Video Transcript:
Well good morning guys. Good morning. Second full day here in Osaka (大阪). We are still super jet lagged. We woke up at 1 am in the morning. It is now quarter to 5 am. I know it feels like it is later on in the day. It is hilarious that it is only five in the morning. In fact the metro is just opening up now. We are heading out. We found a ramen shop that is open 24 hours a day. And we figured this is perfect. We are jet lagged, we need food, let's go eat some ramen noodles (ラーメン).
We have made it to Dōtonbori (道頓堀) and the place we wanted to go to is packed. It is super tiny and it is kind of like a bar style restaurant where you just sit. You sit at the bar and you slurp on your noodles but there is no space so we walked around found another place where we actually have to order from a machine. Yes. Interesting. And that should be fun. That is what we're going to do. We're just reading the menu that is outside and then we'll place our order.
I'm getting number 6 the Ramen with soft-boiled seasoned egg and Sam is going for number 11 the meat filled wonton dumplings Ramen (ラーメン). We have our receipts.
Sam is going to give us a quick history of Ramen. Yes.
Courtesy of wikipedia. Ramen is a Japanese dish it consists of Chinese style wheat noodles served in a meat or occasionally fish based broth. Often flavoured with soy sauce or miso. And uses toppings such as sliced pork, dried seaweed and green onions. Nearly every region in Japan has its own variation of ramen from the tonkatsu pork one to bone broth ramen of Kyushu to the miso ramen of Hokkaido. Alright and so ramen (ラーメン) is the specialty of Japan and we can't wait to try ours.
That was a great meal. The price of the meal um in terms of the ramen was 1740 Yen which is just under 16 US dollars. Basically 8 per person. I thought that was excellent value. Like the sizes were huge. Like this is one of the biggest breakfasts I've had in a very very long time. The ingredients were fresh and it was just a cool eating environment. There were a lot of other people in there slurping surprisingly this early in the morning. If you are in Osaka (大阪) or really anywhere in Japan to be honest definitely make sure to have a few bowls of ramen (ラーメン). Ramen. Ciao for now.

Saitamaya: The Master of Grilled Meat
If you have a great meal, but you're not allowed to take a picture of it, is it still delicious? At Saitamaya, the answer is yes.
We're thrilled to share our experience at Saitamaya, where the master has perfected the art of Yakiton, but he won't let you take any pictures or video of the food. Yet, he allowed us to shoot here this day. The food here is unbelievable. People travel from all over the country to eat here, and - if you're coming to Japan - you definitely need to stop by here.
Come, let us introduce you to the master of grilled meat.

Tokyo's Yakitori Alley: Shinjuku 360 ★ ONLY in JAPAN
One of Tokyo's most famous food alleys is at Shinjuku's West gate where loads of yakitori and motsunabe restaurants date back to the late 1940s. It's a street food paradise where you can see and smell the grilling and frying -- hungry, you will be!
In this episode, John and Shingo visit OMOIDE YOKOCHO (思い出横丁) or Memory Lane. Have a look around the alley and shops in 360 VR!
Food featured:
★ Yakitori / やきとり
★ Motsunabe / もつ鍋
★ Ramen / ラーメン
★ Yakisoba / 焼きそば (fried noodles in sauce)
★ Yukhoe (Korean based dish of seasoned raw beef with egg)
※ Best seen in 4K (2160p) / change the settings and watch with WIFI on for super clear views.
Omoide Yokocho is most famous for motsunabe (stewed giblets) and yakitori. Why?
THE HISTORY:
Following WWII, flour was a government regulated good and ramen / noodles weren't available to street stands. Instead, restaurant owners turned to non-regulated ingredients like pig and cow enthralls which were readily available and cheap from American servicemen occupying the city. From this, motsunabe (stewed giblets) and yakitori (from enthralls) were born.
It's much better tasting than it sounds! About 20 shops in Omoide Yokocho still serve motsunabe like they did back in the mid 1940s.
The alley retains its old Showa period charm despite all the modern new buildings surrounding it. It's like entering a world trapped in time and definitely worth a stop on anyone's trip to Tokyo.
This place used to be called Piss Alley but who'd want to eat at a place with piss in the name? It was changed to Memory Lane which is simply more appetizing although I do make a trip to the toilets to see if they are modern washlet style or totally Medieval holes int he ground.

Osaka's Flamethrower Street Food Chef ★ ONLY in JAPAN
When a sushi chef meets a flamethrower, it creates the hottest street food restaurant in Osaka!
There's a chef who has been cooking by flamethrower for over 25 years and the food ー is gourmet quality delicious!
In this episode, I travel to Izakaya Toyo (居酒屋とよ) to experience Osaka's hottest street food. Now you can see Toyoji-san on Netflix STREET FOOD Chef’s Table series.
Toyoji-san opened his street side izakaya on the site of a parking lot in 1992, and today it's one of Osaka's most notable sushi stops. With a flamethrower, Toyoji-san can grill up a lot of maguro cheek meat for dozens of hungry customers in minutes, and the fire attracts an audience! The chef is a real entertainer and the food is outstanding, but it's the reasonable prices that keeps regular customers coming back for years.
Eating flamethrower cuisine is amazing! The outside is cooked well and the inside remains moist and juicy. Toyoji-san's secret is to balance the hot with the cold. He has a bucket of ice water next to the grill. He periodically dips his hand into the ice water to balance the temperature and allows him to amazingly cook barehanded with the flamethrower!
Where is Izakaya Toyo?
Station: Kyobashi (Osaka)
Open 4 days a week from 14:00 to 22:00.
Closed Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays
Featured in this episode:
★ Uni | Sea Urchin
★ Ikura | Salmon Fish Eggs
★ Grilled Maguro Cheek Meat
★ Unagi | Eel
★ Umi Budo | Sea Grapes

What Japanese Prison Food is Like ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Japan has some amazing prison food, which should be no surprise. Inmates are served healthy, nutritious meals of grilled fish, salads, rice and soup - which are actually healthier than most school lunches around the world! Would you like to try what prisoners eat? There's a prison in Hokkaido that serves authentic meals to the public and that is where I went -- Abashiri.
Abashiri is in the very north of Hokkaido and is famous for its prison. Their Bangaichi Shokudo Diner is the only restaurant that serves authentic prison food in Japan, the ingredients the same as the penitentiary nearby. The meals will probably surprise you!
Prison Food Menu:
SET A: Pacific Saury, 2 salads, barley rice, miso soup (780 yen / $7.00)
SET B: Atka Mackerel, 2 salads, barley rice, miso soup (820 yen / $7.50)
It's called the secret meal because Japanese Prisons are very restrictive with access to the outside world. However, Abashiri is dfferent and they've opened up prison life to the public and it's worth a visit.
We also get a tour of today's prison cells in Japan. They have tatami mats, futons, TV, toilet and window. There are private cells and cells for 6 or more inmates. Japanese inmates typically eat their meals in their cells.
The Japanese prison life is regimented, the schedule the same everyday. Wake up at 6:40am and lights out at 9:00pm.
Meal time is three times a day for 20 minutes.

Tanaka of Tokyo Restaurant
During my visit to Honolulu, Hawaii to visit family I started posting some photos on Instagram. I got a message from Barry, who is a world renowned teppanyaki chef expert - he’s even traveling the world teaching how to cook teppanyaki. So when he asked if I would come in to the restaurant he works at, and he would do the cooking, I knew it would be a great opportunity - not only for the food but for the amazing cooking skill.
Tanaka of Tokyo is Japanese teppanyaki restaurant in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii. There’s an interesting history surrounding teppanyaki - it’s a Japanese meal, although it was invited to cook Western style. Funny thing is, it’s more popular outside of Japan than in Japan, and I’ve never even had it in Japan. So this was my first time to really have a proper teppanyaki meal.
I asked the waitress what she recommended and it was a set that included lobster, steak, and scallops, plus some Hawaiian style poke to begin with.
Our entire teppanyaki meal was extremely entertaining. The food was delicious and very high quality, but the cooking and show was a highlight. Our whole family enjoyed it from the start to finish. Barry is an amazing chef and he has incredible knife and fire skills!
Eating teppanyaki at Tanaka of Tokyo is not a cheap meal, but you not only pay for the food, but for the entire dining show.
Total price - $213.30
Special thanks to Barry for his amazing cooking!

Japanese manga have come a long way!
The modern manga took off during the US occupation after 1945 and since then, the industry in Japan and abroad has reached new heights.
Fast forward to 2013.
Today, there's more to manga than just manga. There's a whole culture surrounding Japan's comics and one part of that is the manga cafe called manga kissa in Japanese.
Don't let the word cafe fool you -- the services at manga kissa go beyond reading manga with a cup of coffee.
Not only is it a place to read a manga in a quiet place off the busy streets of Tokyo, it's also a place where you can get some privacy with a date watching 3D movies or even spend the night at an affordable rate.
