NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Where did Natsuki's pirate pants go?! Genuinely, it was utterly bizarre. But still not as insane as his cover of Bon Jovi in the bath tub. 🍿🍿🍿Just to point out, I don't want to make it seem like I'm trivialising a fear of flying. I do have one that's been steadily worsening over the years, though when you live in Japan, you don't have much choice to get over it when flying home. In a strange way, the Cessna did actually help, as one of the key fears is the turbulence and honestly, I've never endured such a turbulent flight. But I hope you enjoyed the first action packed episode of Journey Across Japan: The Lost Islands! The series continues next week! 🍿🍿🍿

A pair of pirate pants just appeared in the middle of the Bermuda triangle.

natsuki is awesom

Just woke up

I can't say thank you for the indirect birthday gift because this came out a day later... Of course, things happen but regardless, I'm looking forward to the series! (For those who might be confused, yesterday was my birthday and this episode of JAJ was supposed to release yesterday but technical issues happened. Hence, I wanted to thank Chris for the indirect birthday gift.)

Popcorn ready. Let's go!

Finally! I was wondering when you guys will feature Yakushima Island~ It's in the TOP of my list of places I want to visit in Japan because of its ancient forest. It's truly beautiful. And I was really excited when the anpanman challenge of "Catch your own food" popped-up, I knew right away you guys were gonna go Fishing. The angler in me hopes to see you guys go fishing again. As for Natsuki's pirate pants, it will one day be discovered by historians and be part of the heritage treasures of Yakushima Island.

Ooh so u watch it too :33

Gloco!!!!!! nonood ka rin pla

i have been there, it's an amazing island, worth to explore for atleast a few days.

Watch out Chris, Natsuki gonna get his waterfall revenge back at you lol 😆 Overall first video of the lost island series is amazing with great editing and you have to get your fears sometimes. Glad the plane trip over a volcano worked! Can't wait for more!! 😁🥳👹🏞

KELAN KA PUNTA NG JAPAN TO GUEST

BARTENDER: How do you take your drink Natsuki? NATSUKI: Bon Jovi style! Wowwow wowowowow!

For some reason read the wow parts in Korone's voice. I've been brainwashed

@@grimsladeleviathan3958 Same lol

@@grimsladeleviathan3958 YUP same here.

Yooo cz how are you?

Found the tube looking like a talk-box reference to Bon Jovi to be very clever. He's like y'all too young for this. Haha

“3 islands, 3 idiots.” I’m already sold. 😂😂😂 Also the dramatic shots of Natsuki were golden. 🙌🏼

it looks like a scene from a blade runner spin off

Now I know Chris' videos have a high quality BBC documentary, travel show vibes to it but I don't think anyone would approve someone as unpredictable and weird as Natsuki for TV. That's why these videos stand out from rest of the standard shows and I can't emphasise how much of a gem Natsuki is to Abroad in Japan.

Natsuki is a rare combination of chaotic and wholesome energy.

Somebody's probably mentioned it already, but Natsuki's imitating a talkbox, a device that lets you modulate sound waves with the shape of your mouth by putting a plastic tube inside it. The tube runs to a device connected to your keyboard/guitar and an amplifier, and the result is that your instrument sounds like it's talking. The tube he's holding looks exactly like a talkbox tube -- same size, probably same material, just opaque instead of clear. It's used for the voice-like guitar riff in Livin on a Prayer, hence Bon Jovi.

Different word for vocoder?

@@kricku good question! They’re actually totally different. A vocoder is entirely electronic — it takes one input from your instrument and another input from your voice (via a microphone) and returns output that makes your voice sound like that instrument. A talkbox has a mechanical component — your mouth. It uses the physical shape of the inside of your mouth to make the instrument sound like your voice.

@@benscomments1432 now I get it. That's super interesting. So does the talk box blow like, guitar noise into your mouth and you sing with that, or do you just sing through the tube into an amp and the magic happens there? I did watch some videos but it wasn't clear. Edit: that's quite the response time on a basically necro'd comment, btw 😛 Edit edit: that's a redundant question now that I think about it.

Favorite episode yet! Good on ya for getting in that plane!

Cheers man! No regrets on riding the plane ✈️

Shit dint expect to see you here

Send me a deck for free?

The pants are going to appear in one of your videos I suppose

Whats a magician doing here?!?

6:20 fun fact the pilot is actually checking the plane’s fuel sump here to make sure there is no water in the planes fuel tanks, it is an important part of the pre flight routine.

Every pilot worth their wings does their preflight every time, and they do it right. That guy probably knows which scratch in the paint is the largest, and what caused it.

@@Gundam00kyrios "I know every inch of this plane like the back of my han- hey that's new. Huh."

@@scottwpilgrim robots reference, nice.

Where did he get the idea that a cessna is dangeous lol. They are a dream to fly a child could do it. I've literally been instructed to deliberately power-on stall that airplane and failed to do it (it just kept flying at a high angle). As long as the weather is nice, and it looks nice, they're in no danger.

@@thevictoryoverhimself7298 He himself said that they're safe but that his logic was overriden by fear.

That first segment with Natsuki looking sad whilst pondering life was incredibly shot and 'acted' (if it was acted haha). This channel is absolutely amazing. Thanks a lot for all the hard work and fantastic content.

The production quality on this video is insane. You should be very proud of how far you've come, Chris, this is beautiful. Natsuki's intro is legitimate art, and does a great job of showing the human, every day side of a guy that we mostly get to see the funny, silly side of. I love travelling to Japan, and you do a great job of highlighting the beauty of the country and its people. Thank you guys for all your hard work and amazing content.

Is he really a hairdresser?!!

The cinematography alone is so far beyond the average YouTube channel's standards, it's ridiculous how good your videos are getting. It's been a wild journey to watch you and your channel grow from the video of you playing that flip the table game to this is mind blowing man. Proud to be along for the ride keep at it my friend.

Not gonna lie, you guys have original Top Gear levels of chemistry and it's amazing to watch.

The production quality on this is ridiculous. Thanks so much for your hard work, Chris.

100%

When a single YouTuber makes 100 times better stuff than any Hollyweird or tv studio nowadays.

Agreed. I especially love the variety of shots & the scene edits are so well paced!

Honestly, this 100%. I came down to the comments just to upvote this if it wasn't here yet.

Can't imagine the logistics and work behind this...

I have so much respect for Natsuki. He runs his own business and is just a genuinlely nice guy who only wanted to make a foriegner feel welcome in Japan. If there's any reason to visit Japan it would be for a chance to bump into him ^^

"BON JOVI STYLE" "I don't know what he's on about" I know exactly what's he's on about. Natsuki is referring to a talkbox, an electronic sound effects pedal that can be used with electric guitars and also electric keyboards. It uses a rubber tube (similar to the water hose he's holding) to combine mouthed words/noises with the sound of the instrument. This effect was used in Bon Jovi songs such as "Living On A Prayer" and "It's My Life".

Exactly

@@Stinger913 yep. #FunFact #Natsuki #TooMuchVolcano

Holy shit, I’ll never doubt Natsuki’s genius again.

The more you know

It's fun that you at least got to experience a small plane, it's so much different how you can legitimately feel that you're floating on nothing, so excited Journey Across Japan is back

Cool

after binge watching chris and connor's videos- fully enjoying their content, Natsuki has become someone I completely adore watching

Good to see Norm was on the journey with you. He is always such a good camera man and is always conscientious of multiple cameras, views and shots. Glad to see he was able to join you yet again, though I wonder if he will ever be a guest on Journey Across Japan rather than the camera man? Anyhow, glad to see you handled the flight very well, honestly those planes are fun to fly in. I hope you didn't inhale to many sulfuric fumes, I love how the tables turned and scared Joey like that, he looked like he was going to mess himself. And yes, I am only halfway through the episode XP.

In this episode, Chris gets over his fear of flying while Joey develops one.

Gotta balance it out somehow

Miles that is.

I'd say fear of turbulence is just kind of a lack of knowledge how planes operate, what they can withstand and how normal turbulence is.. I've had severe turbulence a few times, it was fun. The way I started learning about planes and how they are constructed and handle was when as a joke i started watching plane crash videos before my flights lol, after a while, you start to learn what to really worry about and what is completely normal

@@PastLight I actually have started having bad flying anxiety thanks to turbulence. I know it's normal and that not a single plane has ever come down thanks to turbulence, but irrational thoughts are quite pervasive.

Feels like you were going for a top gear-esque intro. “In today’s episode, Chris looks at a tree, Joey almost dies in a plane ride, and Natsuki loses his trousers”

the bit from 2:07 - 2:58 actually had me more invested into the story than most movies I've ever watched, great job.👍👍

Like movie quality

I just wanna mention how badass the camera men we're and not to mention how good the writing script\video effects are. Honestly, I just really enjoy this series and everyone whose involved in the production - The Cast themselves are some of the greatest parts, your all just to funny.

As someone who is deathly afraid of heights, Chris is very relatable. What a champ.

I took this flight with my son this past July 2023 !! The day we went was the first time the view had cleared in a week , so we were able to get great pics , and video . New Japan Aviation is a great company , great pilot and the staff was so nice . We were in Japan for 6 weeks and it was definitely one of the best things we did . So much respect and admiration for the whole staff at New Japan Aviation , thank you for a great time and memory for a lifetime . Kagoshima was one of our favorite places . Loved the whole Kyushu area , just something about that whole Kagoshima location and things to do that I really just fell in love with there and all of Kyushu !!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO DO THIS FLIGHT, IF YOU GO , YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED . Credit to Chris , for if I had not seen this vid , I would not have known about it !! Great experience .

It's mean, but Joe's genuine fear when it gets more bumpy is honestly hilarious, considering how happy he was about scaring Chris >:D AMAZING video as always, it feels like your direction becomes more cinematic and smooth with every video!!

Who's Joe?? 😳

So we finally found out the reason why Chris never left Japan, its not that he loves it, he just doesn't want to get on a plane again.

He could row off if he really wanted lol

@@spicybeantofu Last time an Englishman was on a boat something bad happened. Plus he’s too lazy.

You can definitely see the terror in his eyes. Doing this takes proper balls. Well done, Chris!

Boat? 🤔🤣

A boat? This dude doesn’t even like moving along on a horse!!!

I'm not even done watching this yet but the whole opening sequence with Natsuki was just amazing. The cinematography, tone, the lights... And then contrast that with Natsuki's just zany over the top response... Chef's kiss.

I haven't watched the video yet but that section with Natsuki closing up the shop was almost breathtaking. That much quality in a YouTube video is a first for me.

This was insanely entertaining. I enjoyed this more than any TV show in the last decade... Thanks for sharing, this was indescribably fun.

Chris your journey across Japan, with all three of you is a pure joy to watch and me as an aviation geek have to say, it's such a fun, to see you both being a bit scared - maybe nice to know, if you catch a sunny (bumpy) day with some "cloudy clouds" (cumulus) try glider flying!

That was a totally beautiful and refreshing video. You guys had fun and really deserved the break from the city. I loved the fly over the beautiful Sakurajima. You two were really brave in the Cessna. Someday, someone will find Natsuki's pants :) Keep up the awesome content. Rock on !!

Natsuki is basicly a walking human content machine! Lovely chap

He is one of those rare type of humans🤣

Dang.

he really is the "second" best thing about this channel. Chris cold just have an episode just about him and i'm sure most of his fans would watch it.

@@feverdreamers He does, Natsuki has his own documentary about him

hes best waifu

This honestly made me laugh out loud, the comedic moments and beautiful production quality is a gem on youtube. I know I'm late to these videos, but with the past and current climate on uncertain travel restrictions, it feels like I'm travelling vicariously through you guys.

I want to watch Chris, Natsuki and the Trash Taste gang to travel together, playing mini-games some sort like a variety show. 100% would watch!

This was absolutely wonderfully produced and shot! I have no idea how I did not see this video until now -- Youtube likes to do me dirty like that I guess but, I am glad I finally caught this one after months. I, myself am not a big fan of flying and yet I have the worst wanderlust, and all I want to do and see is going to require me to fly myself across the globe hither tither; so I feel you there 😢. That view was absolutely breathtaking though even if a little sus on how to achieve it: 100/100 content as always! Also, did I spot Norm in the seat by the pilot? 😆Sneakiest cameo ever

Chris Should be the official non Residential Ambassador of Japan, the cinematography and the places are just on another level. I want Journey accross Japan to keep coming back like this!

Japanese natives often say “I envy westerners because of their looks”. And here I am watching your adventures, with a huge smile on my face, saying to myself, “I 100% envy Chris and that amazing brotherhood he has with Joey and Natsuki, I’d kill to have a set of friends as great as he does”.

Seriously, the Patreons who make this possible are the MVPs. Thank you for enabling Chris to create this kind of content; thank you, crew behind the scenes; and thank you Chris, Joey and Natsuki for being your entertaining selves. These series are always such a treat!! Looking forward to the next episodes 😊

Absolutely, mate! This thing's in a whole other level :D

Thank you!!!!

Chris's productions are amazing, the videos are really well done! Love your videos man, be proud of your work!

Chris, whoever you have hired for editing, please continue with the same team, they are doing awesome and adaptive to your style

Message from Toshie Walker from Los Angeles. My life in US is very stressful with corona, delta virus plus Afghanistan disaster with Taliban terrorist news. Hi Chris, Joey, and Natsuki this video was very good to learn about kyushu and Kagoshima. I visited there for long time ago with high school trip. So it is so great to discover the area I never been. Whatever Chris makes the video has some quality and good value because real history culture behind and with comedy kind of playful moment. I laugh constantly three of you are great comedian. I hope everybody will prosper and good health. I worry about Natsuki’s smoking because the smoking cigarette will cause cancer and also Alzheimer gradually loses his ability to live and function. Anyway I will pray for your guys wellbeing and happiness now and future.

This needs more views. And I am not the type to write that type of comment but honestly. I am here only because of the trash podcast and Joey spilling the beans without even knowing if the trailer was out when their vid would come out. You have my respect, Chris, it looks so professional I can't believe this is free on youtube. Even your commentary is perfect. I usually get annoyed of people talking over stuff. But you did great. Man. I am not one to compliment but really, I am a fan just from this one vid.

Watching this is like watching a legit tv documentary. Kudos to all the staff. Man i love this series

Ikr

"Is it safe? This plane?" "Should be" That guy is a legend.

Now i want to fly the same route and ask him this question.

Chris: “scary” Pilot: “enjoy!”

Now that's a bloke I'd like to buy a beer, he's funny as, but professional to boot.

I'm late to this since I only started watching your channel recently. I really want to go to Kyushu, particularly Nagasaki and Kumamoto, so I really appreciate this series. I feel this area gets generally neglected by tourists in general.

The quality of this video is higher than most TV docuseries. I am truly amazed at how your production quality improved over the years, not to mention the amazing writing.

I'd love the next series of JAJ to have the entire Trash Taste team, them and Natsuki would make for stellar content

Nothing makes me happier than to see Chris and natsuki having a good time. Joey is just a bonus, I always love seeing that man

As a student pilot I can make you sure, Cessna is one of the most safe planes in the world... maybe. For now, I had experience only with Cessna(≧▽≦)

Can't believe Natsuki lost his pants at a Unesco World Heritage Site. People are gonna find those pants hundreds of years from now and think it's a historical artifact.

"Think" it's a historical artifact??? Anything that has been through this journey with Natsuki is definitely a legendary artifact for the ages!

“Wow I can’t believe we’ve found evidence that pirates visited Japan!”

Researchers on a documentary in the future "And we believe these trousers were in fact given to the great waterfall as part of some ancient and primitive ritual."

@@fat1fared I love how your name is Grey Fox, and Chris mentioned Metal Gear Solid in the video xD

Oh god I misread that as "parents"

Natsuki sounds so wholesome whenever he speaks in english,his enthusiasm just makes me smile.

The beautiful hard work you put into this show makes me feel like you must actually care about us viewers. So awesome

Chris, few people you meet can truly relate to your experience with the cold air turbulence, but I can. And your bumpy Cessna flight. When you were about 5 and I was about 15, I flew from Sydney to LA and hit two of those nasty air pockets in a row during a storm. I know exactly what you went through, mate, and I too thought it was all over and haven't quite been the same since whenever I have to fly, which was often pre-covid. Probably more impactful because it was my first long haul flight and relatively young to be flying alone. And seated on the wing so I could see it flexing wildly during the storm. Front of the plane suddenly where your feet were, your stomach in another dimension, and literally falling out of the sky helpless. A baby a few seats over got launched over the next row. Images like that never fade. A few weeks later I reluctantly took a "joy flight" over the Grand Canyon in a Cessna. The turbulence from the updrafts of the canyon below as you pass over each tabletop would basically pick the plane up and dump it like it was hitting tarmac. I felt your hesitation, so extra kudos to you and crew for another great vid, but this one in particular.

This was great even before Natsuki lost his pants, and then I just died lol. Natsuki is a legend, and this channel is so damn good- just signed up on Patreon to help keep the phenomenal content coming. Thanks for your work, Chris!

Long-time fan here and it’s insane watching the difference in production over the years. Keep up the amazing work!

Seriously, a recurring series of these guys just traveling around doing nonsense is all I could want, the chemistry and the production value just reminds me so much of Clarkson, Hammond and May's Top Gear/Grand Tour

Beautifully shot episode, Chris. Love seeing you guys travel and have fun together.

Natsuki has really good music tastes and hes very funny! We all need a friend like him :)

i used to do flight training and i have experienced having my side door opened 3x in different times lol. it wasn't scary. but it was kinda hard to close it while flying a plane since the wind was so strong it was like a vacuum feels. this is the type of planes that what students fly during their flight trainings and yes, it will make you more sick than a regular commercial airplane because it is smaller. i could still remember vomiting much for my first few flights before i got used to it. it was brave of you guys to try it and it was a good experience for both of you ^_^

I can't wait to watch Chris and Joey act like absolute bellends on this journey with Natsuki providing comedic value.

An accurate description of the series

@@AbroadinJapan lol

So glad Nats has been taking some time for himself and going on adventures ❤️ this video

One of the funniest Natsuki episodes. He is such a diva and comedic genious 😂 ”granpa style..”

I'm only about 5 minutes in & am already blown away by the production quality. Chris, your videos are always superb, but this in particular is brilliantly done!

I know I’m late to this. But having had a shitty weekend, the whole scene about “my pants…I have no pants…he’s lost his pants” has me absolutely PMSL and has cheered me up no end! Thank you Chris and Natsuki, you never fail to make me smile!!

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if Natsuki and Chris hadn't randomly crossed paths and videos with him didn't exist, but then I remember I'm living in the superior timeline. Great vid.

This series is literally my favourite thing on the whole of YouTube!! Thank you Chris, Joey and Natsuki for bringing us this amazing content!! Ps: Chris should get a whole Netflix deal with this series because it's so good and imagine if he did a whole Journey Across The World series? I'm losing my shit even thinking about it.

Imagine that but also having cameo of the trash taste bois

Imagine that but also having cameo of the trash taste bois

Imagine that but also having cameo of the trash taste bois

Oh for the love of god just don’t drag Netflix or any other international producing company into this

Imagine that but also having cameo of the trash taste bois

Absolutely brilliant! This is way too good for YouTube. Good job Chris. Love you guys x

So i was recommended your “Reasons Not to Move to Japan” video and thats how i found you, i then found this and it is a very entertaining video, you’ve got a new subscriber, it was also a nice surprise seeing Joey in the video, I’ll definitely be sticking around and i look forward to more on the channel, I’ve always been interested in Japan and its culture and also its music, my profile picture may look familiar 😊

Been watching for years. Every Episode you do is like a mini movie , but better because there is a lot of love put into each. Keep on Rocking!

This is so beautifully shot and edited. It really is highly professional. Amazing content.

this is so amazing how much work you always put in all your videos :D love it so much :D thank you so much for making them for us to watch :D and it is always so fun with you bois XD

Nobody: Abroad in Japan: I'm going to make my production quality higher than most tv shows. In all seriousness though, I love your videos with high production values. They invoke such an adventurous feeling that makes me want to go to Japan more than anything else. I really appreciate it, keep up the good work!

I love journey across of Japan. I hope this series continues. Even if it is once every two years.

I just rewatched the original series now with my boyfriend (he is already a fan) and I must say, amazing job on this, too. The production is fantastic, such a difference to the "mainstream " Youtube vlogs and channels. Great job and please never stop!

Natsuki’s Bon Jovi moment got me giggling hard 🤣 Whenever I get the chance to visit Japan…It would be awesome to have you 3 as tour guides. Never a dull moment😀

This channel strikes the perfect balance between being informative, respectful towards Japan and laugh out loud funny. Keep up the stellar work guys.

Flying over that volcano looked amazing. I'll have to try to do that in the future. I did stunts in a bi-plane in Australia before, so I think I'll be fine, but I'll definitely be taking Dramamine beforehand lol

Is anyone else gonna mention Chris' amazing cinematography when Natsuki was shutting down the shop??? Those camera angles were golden

As was Natsuki's acting.

@@melb4161 acting?

@@labtec514 he was living it.... Truly a method a actor

Natsuki is just a walking breath of fresh air.

Late to the party here but just wanted to say, I love your vids! I often run them while working on basses. This is an insanely good, documentary quality production. Love the humour as well! Anyway, cheers from a Scot living in Japan.

The honest fear on Chris's face in the plane is amazing, well done for getting on that plane!

I'm probably first to comment on this but just in case: editing skills and production are on top level. Not just the concept but work behind it. Much respect.

The intro is just an example of the hard work Chris puts into his work. Vloggers please take note!

The part with Natsuki's salon was amazingly cinematic. The losing of the pants and the Bon Jovi bath had me genuinely laughing, Natsuki's such a character. Love him.

That’s it, I’m terrified of flying but I need to visit Japan. Great videos Edit: I hadn’t even got to the part where you say your scared of flying when I wrote. Same, woke up one day in my 20s and now I have a phobia 😳 Super brave to get in to that !! Awesome

Wow Wow Wow, your work mate is of the highest quality. The camera work, framing, edition, story telling. One of the best travel channels i have came across, its Netflix worthy. Every credit mate, subbed looking for more content from you.

16:55 holy jeez, how have you not been offered your own travel show yet? absolutely stunning work

😊😊comedy,education and adventure are a rare combination on you tube,,you are doing an excellent job. I didn't know or even think Japan is this beautiful,its a paradise 😁😁 I would really love to visit the place,,especially the active volcano

Not quite a glider but a lightly loaded C172 has a great glide ratio and you have some time to pick a spot to land if the engine quits. Although for professional flights i thought they would use something a little more powerful like a 210 which can seat more passengers and has a beefy engine. Bouncing around in turbulence is all part of the experience and you get used to it as a pilot pretty quick.

It's like watching a BBC Documentary, a Comedy Show and an Adventure Vlog all at the same time!. Absolutely love the amount of effort you guys put into this. A treat for the senses. The opening Natsuki scene was like viewing a friggen movie. Top notch!.

Look up "The Trip" series starring Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan. Sounds like that would fit your tastes.

They're almost Young Ones.

Man Natsuki sure knows his vocabulary, for real as a person who studies japanese he have words for situations I wouldn't know. He's such a blast

By tue way: I was a bit depressed These days, but you guys made me laugh and feel good, thank you. I really enjoy your sense of humor.😉

Cool Adventure! Natsuki is just a bunch of laughs on this trip! What a blessing to make any trip memorable. Love the Iron Hide van!

Im scared of flying but even i would feel safe and comfortable if i knew my pilot had 20k hours of flying experience. That it insane, more than 2 YEARS of total time in the cockpit. If there is someone i would want in the drivers seat during an disaster it would be someone with that kind of experience.

Absolute level-up this series. Feels like a culmination of everything Chris has learned doing travel series. Extra love for Ian's legendary camera management skills in the Cessna. EDIT: Or Norm's, as it turns out!

Really love this series! It is made so well!

Absolutely love the channel Chris one of the best I've ever found on YouTube ♥️ The quality of content is unmatched.

We were lucky enough to go to Yakushima on our trip to Japan in 2017. :) It was the scariest place to try to get to without speaking English (compared to just taking the train). We took the ferry from Kagoshima port - there weren't too many folks around that spoke English or English signs, so it was tricky to find the Ferry. If you took the flight, maybe there would be more English-speaking staff if you need more help. Getting around Yakushima is also tricky. The bus comes to the stops only every hour or less, so it can be a long wait. It's worth having a sight-seeing guide if you don't/can't drive a car. We booked a sight-seeing trip with Yakushima Experience. They were great! Our guide was from New Zealand I believe. You can customize your tour depending on what you like - hiking, sightseeing, shops, beaches. They took us to that waterfall in the video :) We also hiked the Taikoiwa rock trail which was easy enough to get to by bus (no need for a guide). I think either our accommodations or Yakushima Experience helped us in confirming how to get there. We stayed at Shiki no yado-Onaida and were able to get there by bus. We had our own cabin which had an outside bath (and inside) - but we went in the Fall and didn't get a chance to use it since it was dark early - and there can be huge bugs like praying mantis and others. The food was great, the people were amazing (and they had laundry for long-term travelers). Loved our time at Yakushima! Hope those travel tips help someone :)

These guys are just freaking awesome, easily one of the best series on travelling on YouTube, here's me stuck in my room in the UK, invite me over guys lol

I love how well Natsuki took the dip into the waterfall. also i have not laughed so hard in your videos Chris thanks for the fun
