my last full day in Japan and one thing
on my travel bucket list with see a
Japanese castle so today I'm going to go
check out osaka castle and it this is
the beginning of parts of it there it is
the western end of the castle and this
is the most if you want to attack that
day you guys somehow crossed it just
seems a lot larger than some of the
council moles I've seen in Europe you
guys see this right here I mean there's
like 20 billion little gnats flying
around January Harden that's alive this
is a map of the castle this is all
metropolis all all around here and then
it's just an ancient castle right in
middle it's kinda like the Central Park
of New York I'm usually really against
eating any sort of foods right outside
of major tourist locations because
they're always going to be way more
expensive than it needs to be but I
couldn't find a single place to eat on
the way here starving and that yaki soba
place looks pretty good okay this is
really not worth it it's 500 yen five
dollars for a little little bit of
noodles let me go ahead and get another
something else Cory right now I know I
got completely gypped
this and this should not be around $15 I
want to do this so much you get you get
a dress up for free but I always feel
like I do always feel like something's
going on here I mean nothing is for free
you probably charge you like twenty
thousand dollars for like a picture or
something you see a lot of capitals in
Europe work like what I really want to
live there because nothing just looks
really tracking and cold like this I
mean I know this is restored and all but
this is looks really comfortable
I'm sure it's haunted as crap but it
looks really comfortable
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
all right that is really adorable well
how long this is the coolest thing ever
see an immediate result the total burger
with a 3d hologram movie Holly history
is the top of the castle the preparing
for a huge performance over there
because they're celebrating the 150 year
anniversary at the end of the Edo era
before looking down this thing I bet you
there's nothing down there
oh I'm going to look anyway there is
nothing I've been seeing a lot of these
flags the ones that are saying it was a
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
Meiji era celebrating the end of the Udo
some looking at this and the only thing
in my mind was gosh it's been a long
time since kitchen Potter's I was
wreaking havoc here I thought seeing
that council was really cool just looks
like a modern Museum right now it
doesn't look like I didn't feel like I
was walking inside a historical castle I
can't the whole thing was renovated
excuse me but so it's like I just
there's no difference between going into
that castle and like going to the Met
Museum and its quality outside but
inside I'm missing something
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
and now I am at shitennoji temple and
this is the other main historical
attraction and the Osaka and you go down
this this little street and there's tons
of little shops and restaurants on the
side this reminds me more of Kyoto and
there that I can see a part of the
temple over there
omen that car does almost kill me the
tail won't sit which means the temple
were shy of the four heavenly God or
four heavenly kings
[Music]
[Music]
it's just funny you see a lot of ancient
history here it's all beautiful its
historic and then you got a Porsche
there are so many people here and what
they're doing is just wishing for a good
portion in the new year and I believe
that banner actually says prayers for
the new year I think what you do here is
you buy a fortune-telling scroll from
over there and then you tie it up over
here right I'm half in there I got every
mob Japanese popcorn chicken oh my god I
feel my arteries clogging right now this
is so really selling eggy pancakes over
here I think I need this to kind of
counteract with the chicken Manhattan I
don't know why but an eggy pancake right
now sounds really really good
we're going to put the ticket out here
can you say upgrade there's this darks
aunt that Japanese people use for
everything like takoyaki and basically
everything else I asked of what the
sauce was before and they were to say
it's Japanese ah I think where this is
just Worcester not like every single
item I've had covered in Worcester sauce
I love this whole surrounding this might
be my favorite part of Osaka I feel like
I'm leaving Japan tomorrow and I feel
like the three cities I've been to Tokyo
Kyoto
I love Kyoto the most like hands down
because Kyoto is full of shrines temples
architecture like this I also really
love Tokyo because the atmosphere is so
fun like wherever you go there's always
seems to be like a really fun
neighborhood somewhere in Tokyo until I
go soccer I like it the least because I
mean I guess I don't know enough about
the city I'm having definitely bored
enough because I just went going around
filming food videos I've only been
around the Duncan Bora area and then
today I saw the castle and the shrine
here so I guess I don't really have a
good grasp of the city look I've been
here three days I don't know anything
but that just kind of my opinion I feel
like I enjoyed today most out of my day
to know Sokka because I love history I
love spirituality I love seeing ancient
architecture ancient artifacts so I saw
a lot of that today tonight I got to go
back to my hotel because I'm filming my
last video of the day of the trip last
food video of the trip tonight I'm going
to go eat some food group yeah something
I never thought out whatever do but the
local spreads my local friends convinced
me to do it since they're like while
you're in Japan go you some poisonous
fish alright okay that sounds reasonable
I'm going to go do that and if you guys
see this video that means I survived
guys listen
this is a takoyaki theme song
[Music]
there we go here we got by the way that
wasn't the only thunder a plane there
are multiple songs about takoyaki as
epic
[Music]
Oh
so I just ate the most poisonous fish in
the world I'm still alive
he-hey that video is wrapped up that's
my last food video oh I look like an
alien right now whoo
that's my last cool video everything is
wrapped up in Japan I'm ready to hit
back to San Francisco tomorrow but my
flight leaves at 9 p.m. and I'm getting
into Tokyo my trinkets into Tokyo
probably I like 12
so what am I going to do for like 9
hours I lost my hip bones right and I
bought these skull candy and I didn't
realize that these were for women
science unit engineered for women when
did hip bones become like gender
specific also I met Pablo this was like
one of the much fried cheesecake places
in Japan and it's really funny because I
came up and they asked them where I was
from
I'm like is there a wrong answer if I'm
going to say something you're not going
to let me in then he was on like a like
a 20 pound diesel this thing is gigantic
and it is heavy did you know you could
actually drink drink of cheese heart I
don't know about that it was really
pretty this is the macho cheesecake
freshly baked fresh they said it's still
hot on the inside and only for the ice
cream let me try this headphone for
women this is left and this is right
it's pretty well everyone
