  • This is Saitama and I'm on the way to Nagano which is a 370 km, what is that like 280 miles or something basically.

  • Almost four hours of driving.

  • And I'm gonna be taking a break here at ca Misato I guess I could signal right now going at a cruising speed of 80 km/h, which is I think below the speed limit here.

  • I grew up not that far from the New Jersey turnpike and on the New Jersey turnpike and new york thruway they were called um rest stops and here and here in Japan they're called parking areas and service areas.

  • And parking area is basically a place that you can go in there and you park your car.

  • Usually there's vending machines, a toilet, maybe a convenience store but usually there's nobody there, it's just for parking.

  • Service areas are services where you can get restaurants, gasoline, coffee, gift shop.

  • Usually there's some, you tie some stands where you can get some um street food um and it's a lot bigger.

  • It's it's, I don't know if you really want to take a break from the road parking area is if you want to rest arise service areas if you want to hang out for a while.

  • Some of the service areas are pretty intense though.

  • There's some service areas that are that look like ancient adobe like they have their own feeling to them.

  • Some of the newer ones, this is an older one, it doesn't make it any worse.

  • But it's not as interesting as some of the some of the ones that I'm gonna be taking you into over the course of the next year or so.

  • Like 8000 BC.

  • What?

  • When people started to settle in the area in the middle ages, it was known as the domain of the fish Eagle, Gurdwara Naga hama and abu clans interesting.

  • Usually the New York service areas that I stopped on the freeway have history going back to the colonial periods of like 2, 300 to 200 years ago.

  • Here they go back to 8000 BC.

  • Geez.

  • Alright, these vending machines got quite a bit of options here.

  • Purple Cat Audio rights in here.

  • Just need overnight Occam's and you can live there for a week probably.

  • You know, I have actually camped out at the now that I'm outside.

  • I have actually camped out at service areas and I was hitchhiking, I would just have my cardboard sign and I would be on the side here because if if a ride you can't you can only get on the service areas if you come by car.

  • So I would ask people instead of taking me dropping me off off of the highway leave me on the interchange where I can pick another ride going in that direction.

  • It's a little bit easier to hitchhike from a service area than it is to hitchhike from back on the low road.

  • Stay on the high road and I have camped I deserve his areas so you can't actually have accommodations here.

  • Um and they're usually open 24 hours.

  • Service areas are better than parking areas.

  • I have camped at parking areas to and it's not quite as exciting.

  • Um It doesn't matter anyways a lot of these restaurants don't really open until 10 a.m. I'll put a link in the description so you can take a look a little bit about the information for commis Otto.

  • But if you're driving towards Nigata or not gonna this is maybe a good place to stop Shawn.

  • I could do it something to nibble on here in the trunk.

  • If you're in this trunk I'll be able to see you because it's not really a trunk.

  • It's sort of just a hatch back.

  • Alright let's go to the Starbucks.

  • Yeah it's just like 10-6 p.m.

  • according to Google maps.

  • But yeah sometimes they open a little earlier and sometimes they close a little earlier.

  • I don't know this is an older uh service area, the one that I was at before.

  • This that's even older than this.

  • So uh you will find new service areas that are so beautiful.

  • You go in there and it's like going into another world.

  • They've done an amazing job.

  • There's one, another one in Saitama that looks like old Widow, you go in there and you're like what?

  • You're like three centuries ago with thatched roofs and stuff still got phone booths here and the recycle bins are very good.

  • They're constantly changing these as well.

  • So you have glass bottles, cans, plastic bottles, pet bottles and then waste paper which are things that are usually considered burnable and because they're in clear.

  • Oh look and here's an electric charger so if you have an electric car you can charge it here.

  • Evey but right now it is available.

  • Not too many of those.

  • I bet you they increase over the next couple of years here in Japan as Toyota starts with their electric cars, they're way behind the curve.

  • Alright, here's the Starbucks, let's see what they got on.

  • Oh Chucky here lookie lookie, they have themselves some Sakura latte like they make a tree trunk from the chocolate.

  • Very nice.

  • There you go.

  • So I hope that this isn't an informa informational Livestream as a in the sf copyright music in there at the end here is a smoking area.

  • And uh, if you're smoking, you can't smoke in front of the rest up.

  • There's a designated area for its uh, the staff will, will come and tell you not to smoke there and you might even get fined.

  • It just depends who's got the power when you get there and then right, not that far away from the service area.

  • Usually there's a place where you can walk your dogs play with the kids, a park in the back.

  • We got that here and then it's not that far before you get into the town, ca Misato town and looks like, what is that, strawberry, strawberry um, farm or something.

  • Do you have any questions you can leave in the comments below.

  • I am, I'm going to be doing it like maybe three or four live streams over the next 48 hours, 24-48 hours as I'm in Nagano, I'm on the road a little bit more exciting than me walking around Tokyo streets, which I've been doing for the last two years.

  • I want this channel will be pretty special to show you other places around Japan, especially the countryside.

  • Um, that's what only in Japan go is supposed to be all about new video on the main channel is set to drop, its all done.

  • I'm just kind of fixing up an edited part of it, which is a mission where, where this is at Ueno station and it took five weeks to get permission from Japan rail, but we got to go ahead and uh and uh I'm just kind of tweaking a little bit, there's a scene where I'm with the staff and we're taking the toilet paper to the toilets before we clean the toilets at the station.

  • It's a pretty interesting look at how Ueno Station runs and I'm just tweaking that and then I'll upload that probably um maybe I can upload it tonight for early access for insiders and Patreon supporters.

  • Um but uh it'll be dropping very, very soon and then there's a blizzard of content right after that.
