I could not imagine a facility like this existing in a major US city like LA or NYC - people would vandalize and destroy it. Tokyo is probably one of the most densely populated cities I've visited and yet it's so orderly, clean and civilized.
Ohh man your wording sound more like same situation in India also 😂. People will only care if its new and within months ..
Right. The West lost it's culture
Thats cause Japan Law dont mess around like American Law does.
Japans conviction rate is 99 percent lmao its out of fear not respect
@Lara Gravenor Same here in America with a minority black population
When I moved to Japan 10 years ago I couldn't believe some of the inventions I would see. Now it's like "yeah that's Japan for you". Their inventions are amazing. I especially love their village areas. They're so calming. So clean.
Do they speak English in Japan? I’m planing on moving there but don’t know a word of Japanese
@@genesisreyes5815 noopee.. most of them can't speak english at all lol
@@sarshi3198 well ig I have to learn
@@genesisreyes5815 As someone who used to work for a Japanese company and has spent a not-insignificant amount of time in Japan, I highly advise you to do your due diligence and extensively research the realities of moving to and living in Japan. In my personal opinion, Japan is fantastic to visit, but can be very difficult to live in long-term as a foreigner. Some people make it work, for sure, but even many of those people find it necessary to "go home" a couple times a year to get a break from Japanese society. Similarly, those that go over to Japan to teach English as part of the JET program or similar frequently become disillusioned with Japan and move to another country after their term. The unfortunate reality is that you will always be an "outsider" and will struggle to form meaningful relationships with anyone other than your fellow ex-pats. Without fluency in Japanese (including "keigo" or "formal language"), familiarity with Japanese business etiquette, and a marketable skillset, your employment opportunities will be extremely limited, and you are statistically most likely to end up as an English teacher making barely enough money to make ends meet.
Yes any invention can be amazing, what’s special in Japan is how they are able to monetize and generate a profit off it.
I went to Japan and it's a beautiful place. People are very polite and respectful. It's a very clean place. I felt safe over there. I loved it over there.
This is my new favourite youtube channel! The whole non-speech idea is awesome and really makes me relax and delve into the so different Japanese culture. Please don't stop making those videos!!
Also no annoying repetitive loud music to drive you crazy.
Japan is one of those places I think I'd want to travel to to just see "ordinary" stuff like this. Not really tourist attractions or natural wonders, just a bit of everyday life in places like this.
i used to live there for 6 months in kumamoto where there's barely anything to see for tourists but it was so nice! i feel so refreshed just by taking a walk around the city and seeing ordinary things
If this is ordinary life I will say death must be better.
@@traceytrotter9934 Finally. Someone who agrees 🤣
Suicide rate is very high in Japan. Imagine how much a person has to typically work to justify making a nap pod.
@@Nincompoop1_ Suicide rates in Japan are not that high. According to a recent report by the World Health Organization, Japan is the 49th country in the world with the highest suicide rate relative to its population. Meanwhile, other well-known countries such as Sweden in 47th place, Finland in 38th place, Belgium in 35th place, the USA in 31st place, Ukraine in 19th place, South Korea in 12th place, Russia in 11th place. But even though suicide rates are much higher in the US or South Korea, for example, nobody says, "Oh, America? Suicide rates are so high there." or "South Korea? That's the country where everyone commits suicide?".. Japan has a strangely bad reputation, but actually their suicide rate is not that high.
This looks like an introvert's dream: a private space away from the hustle and bustle to have a coffee, a snack, read a book. I wish all stations worldwide had this!
This is exactly what i think 😅 this is so nice
this is too costly for "introvert`s dream". Better rent a full day rest place. 30 day = 15000 yen or 40000 with extra service (like ... "bus pass" or "train pass" for workers?) in "Capsule Hotel"
Мне не понравилось ,что в кабинке полупрозрачная дверь входная ! Мне кажется это должно так нервировать,когда кто-то подходит к моей капсуле (никакого 😢chill out)
In the U.S. there would be piles of needles, people would be living in them and the few open ones would be gross and graffiti from wall to all and everything including the little fan would be stolen. 😮 😂😅
You can't have these outside places like Japan unfortunately It would be ransacked, vandalized, pissed on, and uncared for
I feel like I could walk around anywhere in Japan with no worries even a night...Looks like such clean, well organized, bright and healthy place to live. Definitely fun place to visit
日本は決して楽しい国ではありません。確かに日本特有の文化は誇らしいと感じますが、終わっていく政治経済と過酷な労働、日本人の気持ち悪い同調圧力は精神的に最悪です。観光してみる分にはよいですが、日本が気持ち悪い国であると自覚する日本人が大半です。
At a glance,you will understand how charm Japan.

@@legro3073 was that your experience in Japan?
The benefits of living in a homogenous society....We ALL know why this could never exist in America
They aren't sleep pods but very useful for the business person on the go. I was running between stations for work and an emergency came up, so I managed to jump into one of the booths for a zoom meeting. Very useful. These popped up around covid times, though some existed before then too.
If they were sleeping pods someone would have to clean it hourly. But I agree for business travelers,students and those that need a break from the noise and congestion this will help a lot.
But expenisve af lol Would be really handy if u wanna study in some of those pods

Japan is like another planet!!!
That's clean with fantastic customer service

Wow sound like frozen bodies can get a future cured . It so wired and crazy to make sleeping pod if America 🇺🇸 will seem this video it so craze
Blade Runner 2022 comes to mind ,
I follow multiple Japanese influencers. It all happened naturally without noticing me being drawn. Their tips and insights have made a difference in my daily life! Then I realized Im being drawn to their esthetic, values and vibe. I feel the beauty of Japan, whether it is urban city or rural is testament to the outlook and perspective of the Japanese people. Someone is cultivating the magical, beautiful vibe of Japan. Its the people! To maintain their country with such cleanliness and respect just goes to show the character of the people. I have so much respect. We can all learn from this 🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✨✨ARIGATO
Lol. i enjoy the videos too but made a difference in your daily life? These are shows. Go out and get to japan if you want to experience it.
I love your videos. Sometimes, I don't want to hear people talking. your videos are perfect for those times. Thank you. Oh and your videos make me smile when you make funny comments in the captions ;)
I love how you don’t make lots of (unnecessary noise) in your videos. Your utilisation of subtitles is brilliant. Cheers.
very normal on the japanese side of youtube, a lot of people are paranoid about showing face and voice online
That might be cool where you are, but here in Japan people are so repressed that they do not know how to interact with others. They call themselves shy but they make themselves shy or society does. You could spend years working with someone and never know when his birthday is.
No background techno pop. Lol.
Dystopia, BIG BROTHER,When humans become robots, emptiness..no feelings or communication..eating plastic. Welcome to the brave new world!
When I used to travel I would love booking minute suites or stopping by a quiet place in a lounge. The mental value of just spending as little as 15 mins in quiet and isolated space on a day of travel cannot be overstated. It doesn’t take long to completely change your stress level for the day.
So true 👍🏼
Cant handle 15 minutes. I'd need atleast an hour
Yeah, i just wrote the same comment - would be nice to have those in airports
You are correct 100 %
I would use that if I had a long layover. Although I generally fly direct now.
For someone that doesn't like large crowds, this would be amazing to pass the time. It's nice that you can leave, grab some treats, and come back and have your luggage waiting there safely.
When he walked in and the door closed and the sound cut out from all the hustle and bustle, I was relieved. This is fantastic
grab some treats
can anyone tell me why are they still wearing masks?
@@mashable8759 it's a cultural thing. Most Asian countries are considerate about illnesses. As in if someone is sick but they still need to head out, they will wear a mask. Or maybe they don't want to catch a cold. There's also the summer sand storm that sweeps in the area and it's highly advised to wear a mask. Wearing a mask is the norm way before covid
You better not be claustrophobic!
こんなに自分の国のことを誉めてもらえるなんてちょっと感動してしまいます。
Ja Japan ist wirklich ein schönes Land. In Deutschland verkommt alles. Die Zuwanderung und Flüchtlingswelle hat unseren Land sehr geschadet. Japan kann stolz sein auf das was es hat.😊
I wish these were available at airports in the us, just able to sit quietly would be a comfort 😊
It's just amazing how clean japan is. Everything seems so new, but probably a few years in use.
Its also the people, they don't litter and are very considerate of each other.
Singapore is the same way.
Depends, hey Singaporean here, a lot of older gens like to spit on the roadside. That I could never understand.
@@dinkymak cause you dont smoke
Singapore is waaaay cleaner than jp.
One thing I really appreciate about Japanese cities is that even though they're busy all the time, everything is so organized and clean. I like that.
We could learn a thing or two from Japan. Its such a cool place
yea because they're probably 99% all japanese. Diversity kills clean society.
Safe, too!
Mhm, they got rid of everything out of place in the 1940s
I agree, think of how much better it would be if we started making it more diverse.
Beautifully made video. I can't wait to go to Tokyo.
Would love to see more videos like this, showing different places in Japan, loved it, thank you
Ive always said there needs to be more places in cities to take a nap! Cities are exhausting, so its great to have a quiet place to chill for a couple of hours, great idea! Love it!
There's good place to take a nap: your home.
it will be ruined by homeless and druggies in US
Sometimes i visit library to take a nap
@@ayudyalarasatiarsad8387 homeless as much as i feel and wish solutions for their pain, have made it hard for anyone to nap in a library without getting negative attention.
its fcking 28 usd for 2hr+, not for your regular workers
for someone who has been living in Tokyo for more than 7 years, I can say you are better off look for net cafe nearby, some of them have private room with sound proofing. You can also choose between reclining chair/mattress. Free drink bar as well, free to use shower (bring your own towel though). Cheaper than these station pod (which are aimed towards people that are late for meeting due to train problem etc). I never really see anyone use it before.
Trains late? Heaven forbid! Big news in the headlines the next day!
He did use a net cafe at 10:37. Useful for micro breaks, not too comfy...but it's better to sit outdoors as long as it isn't freezing 🥶
@@1953lili idk where this idea comes from. Japan is quite good at keeping trains on time and is rarely late but it happens enough to not be on the news every time. Delays make the news when the cause is a big deal, not because the train is late
@@marionmarking 0
Don't shoot the messenger! I heard the train was less than a minute late and the next day the newspaper issued an apology! Meanwhile, Amtrak in the states is always late but no apology issued! You misunderstood my post.....when I was there in 1999 with my students Ando sensei told me to look for Mt. Fuji at exactly 11:30 am while on the way to Tokyo. And that's exactly when it came into view!
Japan is the most respectful person I wish someday I can visit this beautiful and clean country and people is very kind.... they know how to manage their responsibilities....I love Japan💕💕💕
I discovered your channel today and very much enjoy it. It satisfies my curiosity and oddly calms me. Thank you!
These things would most certainly make a lot of sense in a lot of other countries. Tons of tired people in stations everywhere have looked at the luggage lockers and thought: "I wish they were just a bit larger, so I could fit in to safely take a nap... "
"This is my hole, it was made for me"
they do, but they are expensive when there are so many societal problems await fixes
They sort of exist in a lot of countries, but just as quiet work pods. They won’t have coffee machines, or at least not in the Netherlands, but they’re usually near a cafe anyway so you could of course always grab a snack before entering. They’re less common at stations and more common at colleges, library’s and business parks tho.
White built society can't handle it lol
@@johnsnow5125 I too love junji ito lol
I'm in Silicon Valley. For being so "high tech", it amazes me how far behind we really are. Always wanted to go go Japan, where people are actually respectful and clean.

It was pretty smooth. I appreciated the "where's Waldo" moment with Godzilla too.🙂
I didn't like the fact that so many people were covering their faces. I hope that not all of them are vaccinated.
@@billyzee261 what do you mean
Agreed, the last time i was able to be in Japan was Halloween 2019. Been missing it and this video makes me feel like i'm there again!
@@iqbalindaryono8984 so many people are having adverse reactions, some are even dying unexpectedly.
Found this video in my recommendations. I love the way you did the whole video. As mentioned by others, no excess noise, no background music, great subtitles! I especially loved the Coffee, Rest, GET TO WORK subtitles 😆 the all capital letters says it all. Thank you!
I immediately felt like I was playing one of those escape room games when we started touring the inside of the capsule. That was super nostalgic. 👍
this is the best channel i have ever stumbled upon. simply amazing
I think "nap pods" at airports, etc., are a really great idea, especially when your flight gets cancelled four times and you have an unexpected 3-hour delay.
You and miss a plane lol
This seems personal
Shoot try flying non rev after a canceled flight you could be at the airport for days. Non rev means non revenue, free flights for employees their immediate family and parents. My parents got stuck in Japan for 3 days with my lil bro sister because 1 flight got canceled. Nice to fly free but it can a pain in the ass
What a fun video! That robot was too cute. And it did such a good job! Everything was so clean!! And there were so many people! The cleanliness and the number of people out and about on the street was a lot different than in most parts of the US.
Oh I miss Japan so much! Thank you for not using music on your videos, watching this gives me the same calmness that I always have in Japan.
Japan is what be every country in the world should aspire to be. Clean, forward thinking, respectful and prosperous.
Japan has a lot of problems swept under the rug though...
Suicide ratings ain't hiding anything
Exactly, and futuristic bound..
Uh I don't think you know Japan very well.
Suicide rate is very high in Japan. Imagine how much a person has to typically work to justify making a nap pod.
Love your funny commentary & the no music - natural background noise. Travel ASMR ❤
It amazes me how truly clean and beautiful it is there. Thanks for the video trip. :)
Your travel journal is fascinating! If I watch all of your videos, it will be almost as good as traveling to Japan! I think I could easily become a Japanese culture junkie!
Watching this in the middle of the night and makes me really wonder how Japan is light years ahead in so many ways. The perfection in the details and cleanness is mind-blowing. Very enjoyable video and thanks for letting the images speak for themselves by avoiding narration.
@@tdrxy lol
I went to Japan as a child in the early 90s and remember being in awe of so many things. Especially any kind of vending machine. It felt very advanced at the time but I don’t remember many details. Just feeling so impressed.
It's crazy to see the complete 180 western civilization had on Japanese civilization. Before it was "Tried and true, tradition and honor." Where everyone regardless of class was allowed to wear a sword and armour. And after it was "Endless advancement and wealth" where outside of a handful of enthusiasts, only the ruling class has permission to own swords that can throw other swords at 1000ft per second at 350 rounds per sec.
You look so beautiful😍😍😍😍😍
Same here, except I was there in the mid 80s my first time. I was in Tokyo and they had Cherry Coke in the machines before the US and I went to Shakeys pizza on the Ginza and they put seaweed on the pizza. Japan is thee Best!) They have Thee Best candy, gummies, and pop/soda as well. Also had delicious cold iced coffee in cans before the US. They put America to shame since then to now, hands down. Cheers🤙
Its kind of amazing how far a society can get in such short time when there are no criminal people with poop colored skin and 70 IQ dragging everybody else down.
@Sonic Mobian I'd feel the same if I were living in the US
I'm pretty fascinated by the accommodations that Japan has. Everything about them feel orderly and sort of futuristic, yet not going overboard on technology, only being used for convenience, and I love that. It gives Japanese cities so much character that many other cities in many other countries lack.
Falta carater as pessoas.
сразу захотелось на природу, и глотнуть чистого, свежего воздуха
Жутко от этих капсул, лупатых бездушных официантов, несъедобной быстрой еды,веет унылым беспросветным одиночеством. Техноужас.
Да и какой кайф сидеть там в капсуле . Да еще и наверняка под камерами внутри 😂
First time I visited Japan, in 2019, the first thing that blew my mind was public restrooms with bidets and/or heated seats. Also, ekiben, or train lunch boxes, is a genius idea for cities that run 24/7. Want a bento, but no time to prep or you're a tourist that's always on the go? grab a box from the store AT THE PLATFORM, or while inside the train (at least in the bullet train, from what I experienced). ... I miss Japan...
They have express stores at most train stations around the world, often on platform in the west. Excluding the USA that is. They do not serve food in European trains anymore tho, so that’s definitely still a Japanese pro
I was there too in 2019 just before the pandemic hit. It was amazing. The food at the train station, those mini marts thst sell quality good food, the vending machines on almost every block with healthy drinks to buy. The subway station with up and down arrows so traffic can flow fast and efficient. Even how you they share umbrellas when it rains. You just grab one and then drop it off at another place for someone else to use. The community conveniences impressed me so much. The people not only gave us directions but walked us to our air bnb. I want to retire there. I loved Japan.
@@royhoeksema5720 Where the freak have you been travelling. That just doesn't happen in the US. About the only place you will find food in the station is busses.
They should just have your public restroom have a lock, key, bed and hourly rate. Would save space. 😬 (wishing there were a pulling your hair out emoji)
@@royhoeksema5720 Some international trains in Europe still have diner wagons where you can buy food and drinks on board. I came across a few of these while interrailing in 2019.
Japan cities look so clean and advanced. people seem so well behaved. perhaps i should visit Japan one day in coming years.
The same thing used to be said about Germany. Today Germany is a shithole, the cities are dirty and overcrowded with impoverished migrants who hang around on park benches and harass people. You hardly ever see Germans anymore, especially in the mornings. After all, they have to work and get the money for the young men. Europe's days are numbered, perhaps those of the entire West. Now the Asian age begins.
So bright and colorful and yet so cold and lonely...

I lived in Japan for 10 years from 1989 to 1999 and I used to stay in the capsule hotels all the time they weren’t in the stations they were freestanding but they were usually located next to stations or a very close within walking distance to stations they were a trip I love those things I wish they’d have them in the US Those capsule hotels have restaurants in them they were open all night saunas they were great! What a great concept
Unfortunately, in the US, they would be broken into and taken over by either: drug addicts or homeless people and would become a city nuisance. We can't have nice things in the US here 🤷♀
@@mftd9316 : Yes of course sadly you are correct! And it really is a shame it really is a pity that it Has to be that way But that’s the world we live in today!
@@mftd9316 I was just about to comment something like this. It’s sad we have to go through stuff like that in our country.
Imagine how advanced they were since those days unlike here in India u sleep on the floor lol 😂
if a real estate entrapeanuer figured out how to use the unused space of all the rooftops in nyc or any other big city and put one up there that would be cool. but maybe the thieves and thugs would be waiting for the prey to arrive
I've been in Japan for the past 8 days, I've visited Tokyo and surroundings but have spent most of my time navigating through the train stations, it's soooooo overwhelming. I am amazed at how every one functions here, and yes very clean despite lack of garbage cans.
How do they do that in Japan, the people, did you notice or do you have any idea? Do people keep wrappers, packages etc with them till they can dispose of them? Or do they only open up, unpack, unwrap things inside buildings (like inside the shop they are, inside any accommodation they may be in)?
I somehow cannot imagine Japanese people eating something whilst they are on the street, whilst they are walking, outside...

I have always been led to believe that Tokyo is obscenely priced for everything. Those food prices seem less expensive than what you would find in any big American city. Also, what stops people from having sex in that second type of pod?

You never see this kind of thing anymore here. But Japan will always be civilized enough inter-personally to be able to have such things. I'd never want to live there personally, but that's something I'll always appreciate and really drives me to want to visit again someday.

I’m very Thankful to see Tokyo have it now at the station! I was there and couldn’t find a place to sleep over the night, freezing and I roaming around sleeping outside the bench, that was a pretty sad journey that time 😭
Tokyo has always been advanced. The first time I went in the mid 90's they had things the US and Europe had only begun to actualize. It was incredible.
And yet they are all wearing masks permanently...
It was around 2002 when I started being able to tap my phone at stores to pay for purchases.
Around 2012 for me. Went to Tokyo and I remember being in awe of their underground infrastructure, particularly the subway and malls. It was like a second city down there.
@@JBrander developed asian countries are just way ahead of US and Europe.
@@OomegaLuL How do you describe "way ahead"? Most of these technologies are invented and created by US or European nations. Most of the science and tech knowledge was planted by European and American scientist. Most new advancements and technologies are envisioned and started by US inventors. The only difference is technology is slower to be implemented in the western countries for mass population use.
Visiting Japan is one of my dreams. I'd want to go for like a month and just see stuff. I want to see everything, the hustle and bustle of the big cities, the smaller villages, the shrines, the nature, the people, the culture. Shame I doubt I'll ever be able to afford such a trip. Oh well, at least videos like this are plentiful and give me a taste of the dream lol.
become a KZheadr and you will have something to make sense of what you like
I bet you van make it work, just think I bet you can get a Passport, that alone is huge, many people cant even travel because they cant get one, with a US Passport you can travel anywhere, yeah you need cash too but like any dream you work for it save and eventually you’ll have enough, think about it
Japan is extremely cheap to travel inside of once you are there. If you plan ahead and get a cheap flight it is totally possible
You can probably do it on a budget. The yen is weak to the dollar right now, so if you can save up $800-1000 for airfare during the slow season, and stay outside of Tokyo, it'll be pretty affordable. The main cost is mostly the airfare.
That my ultimate plan now i just need to save 10k-15k and go live there for 2-3 month and visit every coner of the country.
Thank you for the infotainment. You ROCK
Nice way to make a video. Very soothing. Love to watch

@@SuperlunarNim Especially given how affordable they are. I worked at low end "hotel" in NYC. I can ensure you people are willing to have intercourse in these pods. Not because they want that excitement of doing it publicly, but because it costs less than renting a room.
Too many trashy people here who have no respect for these things. They'd steal or break everything in the pod and pee on the desk for good measure just because they can.
@@SuperlunarNim exactly NYC mindset first thing I think is if they had this in Brooklyn imagine the news story man wakes up to an armed robbery lol they saw his Rolex thru the pod
Congratulations. Great video. 😎
Love visiting Japan. One of my best trips. Everything is so convenient
This is exactly what I dreampt about when I was in Middle School and had to walk to my moms work that was nearby and wait 3 hrs until she got off shift. It's so cool that this actually exists somewhere.
When my life is downsized and simple, I am going to vacation in Japan for a month. Elderly style. Slow and relaxing. Foods, walk in parks, and meet beautiful people. I love Japanese people. Would be fun to just say hello.
they don't love you and don't want you visiting 😂
you're welcome anytime 😁
if you want that kinda experience then don't visit Tokyo or any other big cities like in this video..
SAME!!!!!
Japanese (not all but mostly) don't care or even hate foreigner. however, you should tell them that you love them tho :)
Everything looked so comfortable and convenient.😀 Wish we had these in the states.
I have been in Tokyo and I could relate similar things that you wont see in Europe. Incredible!
Great walk-through! I love that you kept all the original sounds.
What a cool video! All the sights and sounds, the smells, the hustle and rustle, elegantly captured! Well done. Next time maybe you could feature an overnight pod? I would really enjoy that! Tokyo has been on my bucket list for a long time now. Such a beautiful city!
The smells? Lol how cute
Спасибо,что взяли с собой.Было очень любопытно и почти вкусно!👍
Excellent, I have already subscribed 😊👍
Japan has the best amenities. Many structures are so esthetically pleasing. I'd love to visit someday.
You are one of the few tarvel-loguers that actually gives you the price of food and other items. It makes it a lot more real. Most people think Japan is out of their financial range, but that $8 supper looked damned good to me.
What a wonderful place ❤️
Love the robot. That said, I'm someone who is extremely interested in those kinds of innovations.
Amazing video...thanks for sharing your experience. I'm impressed by the cleanliness of their streets and railway stations. Enjoy your travels wherever you go.
I was fortunate enough to travel through Asia back in the mid-2000’s. Japan was, by far, my favourite place that I had visited. I’d love to go back sometime. Nice, neat things could only happen in Japan as these pods would be completely be destroyed and/vandalized in other countries.

Would definitely smell of piss and weed in most places.

I’ve only been to Tokyo twice but I love it. It’s a huge city but still feels approachable to a tourist because the people are so friendly and respectful of others and their surroundings. The train system looks overwhelming at first but actually makes a lot of logical sense, and if you can’t figure it out, you can ask just about anyone for help. I’ve seen pods like this in several larger airports, mainly marketed towards people on business trips who need to make phone calls or remote meetings without disturbance (or disturbing others) and towards those with sensory issues (like autistic) or issues with crowds. I’ve never used one.
❤grazie per questo fantastico video, amico ❤
Subbed, damn I love this experience of traveling in this silent manner :D very unique, and Japan is just amazing.
Such a cool vid. I wish it had been longer. I've always wanted to visit Japan. This was the next best thing. ❤️
This is amazing
Good content! Hope soon visit Tokyo soon!
Apart from the touristy spots that I've only ever seen in books or online, it's everyday things like this that I look forward to for my first trip to Japan next year! Love your channel!
I love this channel! Your videos are so relaxing and interesting. Japan is such a wondrous and fascinating place. I regret that I have never visited. Now that I’m 54, it’s unlikely I ever will. At least I can enjoy it through your eyes.
Как все умно и красиво! Я восхищена! Спасибо за видео!!!!!
Вы снимаете великолепно! Отсутствие музыкального фона дает возможность полностью погрузиться в атмосферу тех мест, которые Вы показываете! Робот- кот восхитителен! Если бы Вы его погладили, он бы мурлыкал) Выражаю огромную благодарность за Вашу работу! ❤❤❤
мне тоже дико захотелось его погладить, такой милаха 😺🤗
У меня одного на 1:53 "порно" в субтитрах?
This was such an awesome, informative and wholesome video. Loved the robocats at the restaurant! 😻
We have the same robot in one of the Chinese restaurants here in Germany
This is so cool. Thanks for sharing/documenting the experience!
Adoro esses vídeos, conhecendo outras culturas!
O dono do canal é brasileiro né?
@@Playerplay_ não é não mano, acho que é japonês mesmo, no caso tem tradução automática de país, por isso vemos os títulos em português
Obrigado por compartilhar suas experiências. De Jaú/SP - Brasil
Wow, in Japan you can go to a 7-Eleven and not worry about being robbed! That is absolutely mind boggling!
Why?
