What $250 Buys You at a Japanese Hot Spring Inn

Ойын-сауық

A stunning Japanese inn so large you get a self-driving cart, a sake brewery that encourages you to drink in a forest, and pork Tonkatsu so delicious it's criminal. We head off to the region of Gunma to celebrate to 2m subscribers, while Ryotaro spends the entire time trying to convince me, he's singlehandedly the architect behind any success the Abroad in Japan channel has ever had.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our journey through Gunma took us to incredible breweries. You can find the full list of places we visited here!

    NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Don't deny it. You wanted to see Ryotaro get run over by the patronisingly slow self-driving cart as much as I did. A MASSIVE thank you to you all for tuning into the Abroad in Japan channel - whether you're new here and are still wondering who the hell we are, or have been watching since the dawn of time (which is 2012). I never thought we'd make it this far and I'm hoping we can do something extra special in 2021! Bring on some serious "pork tactics." (Seriously though, how does Ryotaro invent these phrases?!).

The only way I found it is a click through from a video on Sharla's channel that happened to have Ryotaro in it. So yeah, I guess I'm one of the 1.5 Million that came from him.

    Heya Chris, I just wanted to let you know I was watching KZread videos late at night, about to fall asleep, when this autoplayed. My eyes weren't completely in focus (as can happen when you're tired) and when I saw the abundance of red on screen combined with the music my brain filled in the rest and imagined I was looking at a horrific scene of bloody guts and suddenly I became much more awake and incredibly disturbed. A second later my eyes could make sense of what I was looking at and I became very annoyed that it was some flipping Tengu decorations that caused me such distress. So yeah, thought you would appreciate knowing that happened.

    Congratz of the 2mil subs=) your content is great! We love the videos that take a lot of hard work, but also the little ones where you sit in your room and talk are great. We just like your persona and the way you talk about things.

    There’s also an equally hilarious, “bald British guy who speaks Russian and young Russian guy who speaks English and gets drunk all night in town” that’s also out there.

    Truly enjoy these videos, love seeing you guys together (as a Brit who lives elsewhere, I hope you guys genuinely have decoded your senses of humor and get along alright), the last 4 or so years where I've been watching have really whet my appetite for visiting Japan and jumpstarted my language learning and respect for other cultures. Good on ya, Chris. Don't stop - not yet at least.

    Even though he tried to “kill” you, several times now over the years, both of you always end up at nicer places and unique activities. So congrats on 2 M subs Chris ‘Bored’ and Ryotaro, we’d love to see more of you bantering over cool Japanese culture.
