excited to watch your videos again! Welcome to Europe! I am in/from Vienna. So should you pass by you are very welcome as well. And if you need help let me know!

Wow, been living all my life in Amsterdam and maybe the most annoying thing is tourists walking in the bike lane without any regard for traffic, safety or their life in general. To hear you say “look both ways when you cross the bike lane” makes me so happy. Thank you

It's so interesting to watch what you are drawn to when walking the city. A lot of it is 'just ordinary' for us Dutchies. Watching people appreciate things like that can remind me of value I've come to overlook. I imagine you might experience similar when observing a tourist in Tokyo...

I know what you mean about looking up Shinichi. All the buildings were tall and narrow and it felt surreal to look up at them. Lovely video! It's always nice to see the two of you exploring.

About your observation about the leaning houses, its not on purpose. The Netherlands, especially the west (amsterdam) and the north is build on top of marchy land with a lot of peat and clay in the soil. On top of that most of the coutry is under sea level so the deep soil is very moist. Over years this soil gives way to heavy stone buildings. They will start to sink into the ground, often to one side. In order to combat this, structures are build on top of massive pillars that have been struck into the ground, besides that the water level in the netherlands is kept at a specific range to prevent ground height changes due to specific droughts or wet seasons. To come back to the building you saw which were crooked. These are older buildings build on top of an older expertise to combat sinking with relatively short beams made out of wood. Nowadays 20 story buildings in the netherlands wont sink anymore being stabilised with steel beams sometimes longer than 30m, but these few sunken buildings you will find in most dutch towns and cities. To me they serve as a great reminder of the land I and fellow dutchies live in. Its only in thank of the progression we made that we get to live here and tourist to visit. Besides that, the golden age of the netherlands (albeit it with some troubling history) did create some beautiful buildings and streets to wonder around in. I really hope you get to enjoy the netherlands in the proper spring and summer, the late autumn and winter can really look depressing at times with the grey sky and all day drizzle.

The side-way leaning of the houses has the reason as you mentioned. But the forward-leaning houses are pupousely built like that (far-out the majority of leaning houses still stand as they were built 400 years ago. Just to avoid the common misconception about that😊. B.t.w. the gloomyness of the atmosphere there is what gave painters through-out ages the inspiration for their gloomy depiction of the historic city (still intact for the most part)

The buildings were absolutely stunning I just adore and love the most beautiful thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Love this video Good morning Shinichi and Satoshi good to see you thanks for sharing this video enjoy it a lot can't wait to see more 😘😘❤️🙏💯🌈😍🤩🥰🌹🌹

That 'old church' next to the palace is actually the Nieuwe Kerk (the new church) from the year 1409. The Oude Kerk (old church) is in the red light district dated from tfe year 1306.

7:13 ‘IJ’ is actually treated as a single letter in Dutch which is why both are capitalized. It’s used in many common words like for instance ‘ijs’ (ice) or ‘ijverig’ (diligent) etc. It is pronounced as a diphthong which sounds more or less like ‘ye’ in ‘goodbye’, ‘uy’ in ‘buy’, ‘ie’ in ‘lie’, or ‘i’ in ‘ice’. The ‘river’ (it’s actually a bay/ inlet) you ferry across to get to and from ‘noord’ is called ‘het IJ’ or ‘t IJ’ and hence many landmarks at or near it start with ‘IJ’. You have already found the IJpassage, the ferry to England sails from a port town near Amsterdam named ‘IJmuiden’, a square across IJ from Amsterdam centraal station is named ‘IJplein’, an Amsterdam brewer also named ‘t IJ’ brews a beer named ‘IJwit’, etc.

Fun fact about the Victoria Hotel (around the 11 minute mark in your video) is that it was built around an existing house. Back when it was built they demolished all the houses, but one house owner refused to leave and so they built the entire building around it.

Thank you for sharing your experiences! May peace be with you my brother.

Thank you for showing us different areas! . Many years ago I hadd friends that wanted me to travel there just because of their easy attitude towards Cannabis. But I was never into that. Oh btw I think you both are a very hip couple!

Shinichi, I'm so glad to experience your trip of Amsterdam! I know how highly you spoke of your previous visits. It makes me happy to see you there again!

GORGEOUS! What a lovely video :D this was so fun! I would tall a million photos and videos haha!

Loved the video and your travel from Noord with the ferry. Never actually been there, but now I want to! IJpassage is pronounced: I (like the letter i) passage (in a French kinda way) The IJ is also the river/body of water you crossed by ferry earlier. I loved your first-person perspective when crossing at bicycle lanes. It makes it even more intriguing and scary if you are not used to it. Loved that you had tostis as well, it is indeed very common. We will have it at home in the weekend (made in a special tosti toasting machine). The ham and cheese is the classical version. Dennis is crazy about bitterballen, he cannot get enough. They nowadays have really good vegetarian ones and ones with cheese, which I enjoy very much. Nice shots of the canals and streets at the end. I never can get enough of Amsterdam as well. It is even better in the summer with blue skies and warmth to sit outside. Can't wait for you to come back, maybe showing you even more of the country outside of Amsterdam.

Life is short. Travel and see the world. You should go visit Amsterdam. I'm going to Laos this year. Laos has warm sunny weather, amazing natural scenery, and French colonial architectures in the small towns of Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng. There's a hot air balloon ride from a European company called Above Laos.

The shopping street at 17:30 is called Kalverstraat, the main high street in the city center. The fish place at 18:53 is at Koningsplein. Café Mulder is at the corner of Vijzelstraat metro station. You were soooo closed to the best pastry/cake shop in Amsterdam, Holtkamp. Btw, the Vermeer exhibition tickets at Rijksmuseum are fully sold out. If any of you are visiting and have an hour or 2 to kill, strongly suggest to take the canal cruise. The city looks so different from the canal angle. Hotel L'Europe has a great restaurant and is worth the €.

This brings back good memories of my Amsterdam visit, architecture is what I remember most.

So glad you guys like the pickled herring. Many people are totally unwilling to try something like that since it is so unfamiliar to many people. I love pickled herring and that looked like such a treat!

The area behind the Heineken Experience is called " De Pijp" and is a bit more local and less touristy than the old town. Its still a pretty old neighborhood, mostly 19th century, and a lot of students go to eat and drink there because the prices are often more reasonable than in the tourist area. Also, the famous Albert Cuyp market is in this neighborhood. In the summer there is lots of nice big outdoor seating areas and especially in the weekends its buzzing! Can recommend if you have some time in your schedule and just want to chill out with some drinks or food. EDIT: I see now you have a video about the area, good stuff!

Love the kissing couple behind you while you were eating the cheese ball (~23mins) 😂 They were perfectly placed hahaha😅 Glad for them lol

Such gorgeous architecture! The houses built directly next to the canal were fascinating--how do they make the foundations subsidence-proof, I wonder? Of course, subsidence may be why one of the buildings appeared to be leaning. 😊 I'd _love_ to live on a canal!

Not so much the poles, but the type of ground we have. Amsterdam has sandy foundation, and it moves. Which is also the reason we had so much problem extending the metro line, since most new stations are underground.

Glad to see you back in Amsterdam :) Almost like the ai sound in Japanese, that is the ij. It's a river. The boot, though it has a house part is I think a river boot. Going up and down the rivers with cargo. Houseboots are usually more regtangular. Yes tosti is every where. Most have a tosti maker at home, usually very simple just ham and cheese, perhaps served with some ketchup.

Love to see video's such as yours. I live in Rotterdam myself, but I know Amsterdam quite well. You visited Amsterdam quite early. Later each days, it would be extremely busy. You probably exprienced that, later on. The „IJ " is actually a combination pronouced as one vowel. I am looking for an English word with a similar sound. Wow, can't find one. almost like the „i" in island, but not completely :-/ We have several vowels (or vowel combinations) which give foreigners headache to pronounce, such as OU, OE, AU, EU, EEU, AE .... I had no doubts you would love „haring" (herring), since Japan has sushi. The cut onions is actually inherited from the past. In the old days fishermen didn't have freezers to store their catch. They were on sea from Monday till Friday. To keep the haring well preserved, the catch was salted. The haring starts to ferment. In the old days the haring tended to be quite salty. To balance the taste, onions were added and also pickles were eaten. Nowadays the fishermen have freezers, but the cut onions remained.

I saw that bridge in a vlog of one of the members of the group black Pink a few weeks ago but they were there around Christmas. That definitely looks like a houseboat.

Thank you for showing that Dutch food doesn't deserve it's bad reputation. Ij is pronounced most closely as I in English. I as in me , thats almost the same sound. Love you two ❤

I think at the time you visited city cleaners might have been on a strike for a pay raise… it was quite common in big cities at the time 😞

Finally, you are holidaying in Europe. Enjoy 😁

So nice to see you two in my country! IJpassage is difficult to explain how it is pronounced, ij is actually a vowel, it is not really similar to an english sound.. ei in dutch sounds the same as ij. Passage is pronounced in the french way. The water you crossed with the ferry is called “IJ”. Tosti’s are my favourite lunch as well, you can get them almost everywhere, also called croque here and there. I do not live in Amsterdam, but I come there every now and then, I mostly avoid the busy parts near the Dam square :) The street you walked in from the Dam Square is called Kalverstraat. In the Dutch version of the monopoly game it is the most expensive street :)

You guys should try the Onigri ya shop in Ferdinand Bolstreet.

Aloha! My fiancé and I just stayed at the Victoria Plaza hotel and we loved it! You think it would be noisy being on the busy street, but not the case. Definitely would stay there again. We LOVE Amsterdam. He proposed to me at A’dam Lookout and we’re getting married in Hawaii next year.

Shinichi that's actually the new church (I know). The old church is near the reef light district.

The church you were pointing at at Dam Square is not the 'old church' but the New Church. The 'old church' is in the Red Light district and was also called 'Saint Nicolas church'. To make it even more confusing the church where you were pointing at when you left Central Station is called Saint Nicolas church aswell. We like to make things a bit hard to confuse you tourists ;).

Fun fact: Tokyo station is inspired from the Amsterdam Central Station.

Public Works is a historical novel by Thomas Rosenboom from 1999, with two houses as the main location that can still be seen in the facade of Amsterdam's Victoria Hotel. Another source of inspiration was the biography of the Hoogeveen pharmacist Radijs. This book was made into a movie in 2015 under the title 'Noble Intention' you can find the trailer on youtube .
