Japan is a tad bit cleaner and quieter than India, isn't it? 😂😂😂😂
Lady says follow the red line. Gabe repeats follow the red line..he instantly walks away from the red line. So funny!
A lot of Hostels have private room options, which I have done twice, its double or triple the price of a dorm room, but its much better than sleeping in a dorm room , which I have never or will ever do, but its a matter of preference.Go Gabe Go.
😊❤🇧🇦🗻🏔⛰
that guy has sleep apnea
Hello from CA. Cool train ride to Beppu and love Japanese food. Capsule room looks fine. Rather spend my $ on food & sightseeing!
Always love your vids! I've been to Fukuoka, Nagasaki and Kagoshima in Kyushu. Every place else is so interesting to see!
I was LOLing about the hostel guest – sucks man. It reminds me of John Candy in Planes Trains and Automobiles when he's clearing his sinuses lol
Geez, how horrible! Sorry you had to go through that!
Sonic 883型は、カーブでで速度を下げないため横に揺らす"振り子式特急"だから、横揺れにとても驚かれたんではないですか?
別府と言えば、温泉、地獄巡り"Hells of Beppu"、とり天。レストラン東洋軒には行かれたのでしょうか。
Looks like a living mausoleum…..thankfully you don’t suffer from claustrophobia…..way over my head….happy trails Gabriel🙏🏻😀
SOUNDS LIKE THE LITTLE PECKERHEAD HAD COVID ❗❗❗
That's the John Candy before going to sleep. PLANES TRAINS AUTOMOBILES. 😅
China will be a better choice for you.
i thought you were rich
Actually I love it more when you explore lesser-known places… Not quite excited about Tokyo, Kyoto and all those crowded, touristy places.
Gabe, Grece and Cyprus (the same) is calling…
One of my all time Hostel stories was also in Japan. 2 enormous Mongolian men who came to watch a sumo tournament however not sure they ever saw it. Both got absolutely plastered on some Mongolian liquor and passed out. I am still haunted by the sounds of their snoring. Or animalistic grunting as it was.
Typical behavior of a junky (drug addict)
今は、秋の紅葉がきれいな時期なので、日本人も国内旅行をするし海外の旅行客も多いので、宿代が高いんですよ。
I recommend visiting Kagoshima, at the southern tip of Kyushu, where my wife is from. There’s a volcanic island called Sakurajima located right in the middle of the bay, and it’s only about 30 minutes from the main train station by bus and ferry. Yakushima Island and Amami Island are stunning—it’s a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site and definitely worth visiting.
You sure the guy in the Hostel wasn't a Wild BOAR… They Grunt and Snort looking for food. 🙂 Cool train ride Gabe. Looking forward to a video of you in those Capsules!! Safe Travels Big Fella… Scratch that I see the Capsules are in this video… Pays to watch the entire video b4 you comment Hey?… lol
You have a lousy pair of ear plugs, Gabriel! Or they are old and worn out. My ear plugs are awesome and very much block out snoring, etc. But even then, they weaken with time and use and need to be refreshed with a new pair.
NIGHTMARE he has bad sleep apnea
Why have you not included the rest of the conversation with that guy (at the end) in the video?
When traveling I always make sure that my personal assistant liaises with my chauffeur to ensure I get the best suite at the swankiest place in town – simple! 😜
No way! I just left the Beppu Tower Capsule hotel approx 10 days ago, I was there for 10 days. Would have loved to have run into you. The owner of the hotel is very kind. He’s actually in your video, the fellow who came in and out of the shot when you were talking with the American. I would love to return to Beppu, perhaps next year. I hope you will make it to one of the onsen, perhaps next Video? 🙂
Were you sleeping next to a raccoon?
It is a virtue to be economical, they say.
There is a Danish proverb:
What you save on the swings, you use on the carroussels.😏
Have you looked into internet cafe's there all over japan. Reasonable rates as well. Safe Travel Gabe!….
man, you are mine guru ,travel wise, worldwide. our world is blessed because of you guys are in the front line and showing us
You get what you pay for 😮
It sounds like the guy next to you in the hostel had bad sleep apnea. If I snored loudly, I would get a private room in the hostel if any were available
love your channel. big follower, but please get the hell out of these hell hole places that you seem to have chosen because they are cheap for you, to increase your you tube profit, but it's taking the viewers down a bad road. Love you man, but let get the quality back up!
25:10 Gabriel encounters his future self. 😉
hells naw, im too old for that shit, Im balling out when I travel.
Gabe you’ve been traveling for a long long time. What exactly are you looking for? Time for a family brother.
Have you travelled the whole world by now?
Do you drink a lot of coffee? If so, where is the best coffee you drunk?
lol 😂
Sounds like the guy has sleep apnea since he kept snoring and coughing. Poor guy
ive been living in Asia since 2004 (from Cali) and i have thankfully never slept in a hostel. total nightmare.
Wanted to note that you can stay in Cafe style where the rooms are these booths and you can stay for like 2500 yen but you have to move each 18 hrs so you cant leave your stuff. But you can get large lockers.
Japan=Nightmare
11:26 THAT'S WHY THEY CALL YOU GABRIEL "HIGH ROLLER" TRAVELER!
if this is how clean a country can be, what is the rest of the world's excuse?
How do you not travel with earplugs? They're indispensable in hostels
