Also, I love all the tiny little shrines here.

另外，我喜歡這裡所有的小神龕。

I was going to start the day at the airport, but airports, hotels, stuff like that are kind of given that there's going to be somebody who can speak english.

我本來打算在機場開始一天的工作，但機場、酒店之類的地方都是有條件的，會有會說英語的人。

So we're just gonna head right into the city because a really simple example, most chain hotels like this, like to hear your staff speak english just a little, thank you so much, they'll likely always say just a little, so speak slow and simple in that case.

所以我們就直接進入城市，因為一個非常簡單的例子，大多數像這樣的連鎖酒店，都喜歡聽你的員工說英語，只是一點點，非常感謝你，他們很可能總是說只是一點點，所以在這種情況下說話要慢而簡單。

But do you speak english?

但你會說英語嗎？

Where is Akihabara station this way?

這樣一來，秋葉原站在哪裡？

Excellent, thank you so much.

非常好，非常感謝你。

Have a nice day, have google maps don't need directions, but you might not have data or you might run into trouble and need to approach somebody and if you're trying to figure out who to approach super easy, the biggest pro tip I can give you is look for somebody who makes eye contact.

祝你有愉快的一天，有谷歌地圖不需要方向，但你可能沒有數據，或者你可能遇到麻煩，需要接近某人，如果你試圖找出誰來接近超級容易，我可以給你最大的專業提示是尋找那些有眼神接觸的人。

Not only does it make it way easier to approach them and say hello and everything, but for some reason they tend to speak english.

這不僅使我們更容易接近他們，並向他們問好，而且由於某些原因，他們往往會說英語。

Trust me on this one, this one works.

相信我，這個方法很有效。

I've been using this since long before I could speak japanese, what I love about it is that it works almost every single time.

在我還不會說日語的時候，我就一直在用這個，我喜歡的是它幾乎每次都能發揮作用。

Probably one of the best pro tips I can give you now, if you make your way into little spaces like this, there's gonna be a lot less people who are likely to speak english, but I'm telling you google translate if you keep it simple has gotten really really good.

可能是我現在能給你的最好的專業提示之一，如果你進入像這樣的小空間，會有很多可能講英語的人，但我要告訴你，如果你保持簡單，谷歌翻譯已經變得非常非常好。

So also this is where the amazons shop used to be and it is just it's gone now.

是以，這裡也是亞馬遜商店過去的地方，只是現在已經消失了。

Well it's not gone but it's not gone.

嗯，它沒有消失，但它沒有消失。

That's a story for another time.

這是另一個故事了。

You already noticed that the signs are filled with english and most train stations across Japan are going to have Japanese and english if you get way out in the countryside and they don't.

你已經注意到，指示牌上寫滿了英文，而且日本各地的大多數火車站都會有日文和英文，如果你到了鄉下就沒有了。

The formula is pretty simple, it's just google translate and really simple questions.

這個公式非常簡單，只是谷歌翻譯和非常簡單的問題。

That's it and you're usually good.

就這樣，你通常就可以了。

Even a lot of the announcements are now in english but every now and then you may run across signs like this that don't have english on now.

甚至很多公告現在都是英文的，但現在你可能會遇到像這樣的標誌，現在還沒有英文的。

Instead of trying to figure out where you're going you can just get these cards like a Sika or a pass mo card.

與其試圖弄清楚你要去的地方，你可以直接獲得這些卡片，如西卡或通莫卡。

These work really well, they're just prepaid transportation cards that you touch and go I have mine on my phone but there's also things like this covers the JR lines and the subway lines and it has english as well just go the next station is okay that's right this train he's on a test run.

這些東西真的很好用，它們只是預付的交通卡，你摸一下就走，我的卡在我的手機上，但也有像這樣的東西，涵蓋了JR線和地鐵線，它也有英語，只要去下一個車站就可以了，這是正確的，這個火車他正在試運行。

That's cool now when my sweet card on my phone runs low, I can charge your credit card or I can come to one of these machines and do this but there's actually a thing here that I really love, do you speak english, a little english come on, you can't tell me that's not the coolest thing in the world.

這很酷，現在當我手機上的甜味卡用完了，我可以給你的信用卡充電，或者我可以到這些機器上做這個，但實際上這裡有一個東西我真的很喜歡，你會說英語嗎，來點英語，你不能告訴我這不是世界上最酷的事情。

They're covered with plastic now.

它們現在被塑膠所覆蓋。

But they actually used to stick their heads out and this entire thing opens up and they can stick their whole body out to work the machine with you and it is just the coolest feature and she spoke english.

但他們實際上曾經把頭伸出來，這整個東西打開了，他們可以把整個身體伸出來和你一起工作，這是最酷的功能，她會說英語。

So the tourist in Japan is making its way back.

是以，日本的遊客正在迴歸。

This is the cocoa market.

這就是可可市場。

Very nice market.

非常好的市場。

Anyway, no, the um, and um, Yoko originally stood for american market because this was the place to get like foreign and american goods back in the day.

總之，不，嗯，嗯，洋子最初代表美國市場，因為這是當年購買外國和美國商品的地方。

But it's now become, it's still kind of holds up but it's now become a lot of food and snacks.

但它現在變成了，它仍然有點撐著，但它現在變成了很多食物和零食。

It's got everything.

它擁有一切。

See Yoko all the american army surplus store.

在美國陸軍剩餘物資商店裡看到了洋子。

This area is filled with so many hidden spots and secrets.

這個地區充滿了許多隱藏的景點和祕密。

I'm gonna grab some food today.

我今天要去抓點吃的。

Maybe a nice meal somewhere.

也許在某個地方吃頓好的。

But before that there's a quick stop that I want to make this epic rooftop trying to hit in the middle of the market, which we were actually able to see from the trains by the way is not what I want to show you we're going is actually underneath.

但在此之前，有一個快速停止，我想使這個史詩般的屋頂試圖在市場中間打，我們實際上能夠從火車上看到的方式是不是我想告訴你，我們要去的實際上是在下面。

You know, let's just so this shop here is a snack store and it actually continues right under the shrine here.

你知道，我們就這樣吧，這家店是一家小吃店，實際上它就在這裡的神社下面繼續。

This is basically a supermarket just for snacks.

這基本上是一個只賣零食的超市。

I did a whole video of it on the early days of youtube this place has almost every type of japanese snack available, even stuff that I've never seen or heard of before.

我在YouTube的早期做了一整個視頻，這個地方几乎有所有類型的日本小吃，甚至是我以前從未見過或聽說過的東西。

It's my go to for whatever we want to bring gifts back for friends and family.

這是我的首選，無論我們想給朋友和家人帶什麼禮物回來。

So I'm gonna need just a minute to do some shopping of my own.

所以我需要一分鐘時間來做一些我自己的購物。

But while we do that, why don't we give some love to this week's sponsor which is Tokyo treat and Zakharenko also, we are up on an Akihabara rooftop right now, these are my two favorite subscription snack boxes.

但是，在我們這樣做的時候，我們為什麼不給本週的贊助商一些愛呢，這就是東京點心和Zakharenko，我們現在正在秋葉原的屋頂上，這是我最喜歡的兩個訂閱零食盒。

Tokyo treat gives you as many as 20 limited edition exclusive and seasonal.

東京待遇給你多達20個限量版的獨家和季節性。

We'll look at that in a second and focuses heavily on authentic traditional and artisanal snacks and teas while partnering with local japanese snack makers to help carry on their traditions passed down over 100.

我們將在一秒鐘內看到這一點，並在很大程度上專注於正宗的傳統和手工小吃和茶，同時與當地的日本小吃製造商合作，幫助繼承他們流傳了100多年的傳統。

Each box also comes with a little booklet that explains everything.

每個盒子還配有一本小冊子，解釋了所有的事情。

It has amazing themes this month.

它這個月有令人驚奇的主題。

Tokyo trade is Akiba adventure, which is perfect considering we're on the rooftop of my studio here in Akihabara.

東京貿易是秋葉的冒險，考慮到我們在秋葉原我的工作室的屋頂上，這是很完美的。

So we'll look at that one second.

是以，我們將在一秒鐘內看一下這個問題。

We'll start with a box here which is deemed the colors of koyo koyo is the changing leaves.

我們將從這裡的一個盒子開始，這被認為是koyo koyo的顏色是變化的樹葉。

We're gonna get a lot of false stuff in both of these boxes.

我們將在這兩個箱子裡得到很多虛假的東西。

I love soccer because you'll always notice there's doubles of a lot of the stuff so it's really great for show Actually.

我喜歡足球，因為你總是會注意到很多東西都是雙倍的，所以它真的很適合表演。

I love these little moments cookies and I'm always looking for this box always comes with a little piece of table ware.

我喜歡這些小時刻的餅乾，我一直在尋找這個盒子總是附帶一個小件的餐具。

But I want to try out this moment.

但我想試試這一刻。

G Manju, There's always a really nice tea as well and this month it's a beautiful game Micah.

G Manju，也總是有一個非常好的茶，這個月是一個美麗的遊戲Micah。

But I'm super curious about this Akiva adventure because some fall flavored kit kat, What is this mystery blue?

但我對這次阿基瓦的冒險超級好奇，因為一些秋季口味的kit kat，這個神祕的藍色是什麼？

One of my favorite things Ever are these cuts.

我最喜歡的東西之一是這些切割。

Can we take a second to admire just how many snacks are coming out of each one of these boxes.

我們能不能花點時間來欣賞一下這些盒子裡有多少零食出來。

I have made such a mess now, but if you want to give it a shot, you can use the code lens along with the link in the description box below to give yourself $5 off your first box.

我現在弄得這麼亂，但如果你想試一試，你可以在下面的描述框中使用代碼鏡頭和鏈接，給自己的第一個盒子打5美元。

So that is the end of the sponsored segment now, back onto our adventure.

是以，現在贊助部分已經結束，回到我們的冒險。

Alright, so mission complete on this end.

好了，這頭的任務完成了。

My bag is now filled with snacks.

我的包裡現在裝滿了零食。

I'm famished.

我餓了。

So let's see if we can head to the area of socks and grab ourselves some good food.

是以，讓我們看看我們是否能前往襪子的區域，為自己爭取一些好的食物。

I can already see the ads for food everywhere.

我已經可以看到到處都是食品的廣告。

So now we're in Asakusa which is one of Tokyo's most traditional areas.

所以現在我們在淺草，這是東京最傳統的地區之一。

I'll be one of the most touristy areas.

我將是旅遊者最多的地區之一。

But it's a space that I love.

但這是一個我喜歡的空間。

I lived right here in Asakusa for over a decade.

我就在這裡的淺草住了十多年。

One of the greatest pulls to the area is this coming a Demon gate and the connected Senso ji Temple that's down here.

對該地區最大的拉動之一是這來一個惡魔之門和相連的Senso ji寺廟，它在這下面。

But there's this giant, always overcrowded shopping store right here in the middle called Nokomis Dori.

但在這中間有一個巨大的、總是人滿為患的購物店，叫諾克米斯道里。

All the actually good stuff is gonna be on the side streets off of the main street.

所有真正的好東西都會在主街道以外的小街上。

There's a nice little restaurant right there.

那裡有一家不錯的小餐館。

Like look at these little backstreets here now this is only two streets over from where we just were and not only other abundance of little restaurants and mom and pop shops and stuff like that, but it's so much quieter.

看看這些小的后街，現在這裡離我們剛才的地方只有兩條街，不僅有其他豐富的小餐館和母嬰店之類的東西，而且更安靜。

Just get off the main streets, just get off the main streets into the back streets, you will not regret it And speaking of not there's something I want to show you over this right here so I can't speak for now.

只要離開主要街道，只要離開主要街道到後面的街道，你就不會後悔。 說到不後悔，我想在這裡給你看一些東西，所以我現在不能說。

But back in 2019 I was highly recommending people to avoid shops that had English available English menu available because there was a lot of cases of overcharging or adding table charge and stuff like that so proceed with caution if you see signs like this right here was by far my favorite restaurant in Tokyo.

但早在2019年，我就強烈建議人們避開有英文菜單的商店，因為有很多多收錢或加收桌費之類的情況，所以如果你看到這樣的標誌，請謹慎行事，就在這裡是迄今為止我在東京最喜歡的餐廳。

It was a shamisen restaurant called kiko and unfortunately it is gone now.

那是一家叫kiko的三味線餐廳，不幸的是它現在已經消失了。

So the past couple of years have not been kind to us.

是以，過去幾年對我們來說並不友好。

Hi my name is where you guys from Germany, have you guys had any communication trouble since you got here.

嗨，我的名字是你們來自德國的地方，你們來到這裡後是否有任何溝通上的麻煩。

They really try to communicate with you.

他們真的嘗試與你溝通。

So that's very nice.

所以這非常好。

What's been the hardest I think the hardest went into the rural areas around Mount fuji that gets quite difficult and try with a google translator, thank you.

最困難的是什麼？我認為最困難的是進入富士山周圍的農村地區，這變得相當困難，用谷歌翻譯器試試，謝謝你。

Thank you.

謝謝你。

Okay, so it's after 1 30 right now and I am starving but around the corner here there's an old Japanese cafe or kiss attendance they're called, I don't know if they have english, I've never tried to go there using only english.

好了，現在已經過了13點半，我餓了，但是在這個拐角處有一家老式的日本咖啡館，或者叫kiss attendance，我不知道他們是否有英語，我從來沒有嘗試過只用英語去那裡。

So let's give it a shot.

是以，讓我們試一試吧。

This is the place here and as I suspected, very traditional Japanese old cafe, not a bit of english anywhere english.

這就是這裡，正如我所懷疑的那樣，非常傳統的日本老式咖啡館，沒有一點英語的地方。

Okay, okay, thank you.

好的，好的，謝謝你。

Thank you very much.

非常感謝你。

Cash on name.

名義上的現金。

That's okay.

那也沒關係。

Thank you.

謝謝你。

This place was actually one of my biggest worries because one of the oldest cafes in all of us but english menu cash only can I get be set with a hot sandwich.

這個地方實際上是我最擔心的地方之一，因為它是我們所有人中最古老的咖啡館之一，但英文菜單上只有現金，我可以得到一個熱三明治的設置。

Okay, hot coffee.

好的，熱咖啡。

Thank you.

謝謝你。

See if you keep it super simple and just point this stuff it goes really really smoothly.

你看，如果你保持超級簡單，只點這個東西，那就真的非常順利了。

I always get the same thing by the way, but the salad comes with some yogurt and there's a corn beef hot sandwich and I really, really enjoy the coffee.

順便說一下，我總是得到同樣的東西，但沙拉帶有一些酸奶，還有一個玉米牛肉熱三明治，我真的非常喜歡咖啡。

Thank you very much.

非常感謝你。

Have a nice day, genuinely, so surprised that they had an English menu and we're able to use English.

祝你有愉快的一天，真心的，太驚訝了，他們有英文菜單，我們能用英文。

I thought that was gonna be the one spot that would 100% have no English and kind of throw me for a loop in the day but it didn't, which is great.

我以為這將是一個100%沒有英語的地方，而且在一天中會讓我感到困惑，但它沒有，這很好。

I probably should have hit the washroom while I was there.

我也許應該在那裡的時候去一下洗手間。

One of the questions that I get really often weirdly is what happens if I need to find a washroom in Japan department stores are going to be your go to every now and then in the countryside convenience stores.

我經常收到的一個奇怪的問題是，如果我需要在日本找到一個盥洗室，百貨公司將是你的去處，現在，然後在農村的便利店。

Or amazingly enough, you can quite literally just google for public toilets.

或者令人驚訝的是，你完全可以通過谷歌搜索公共廁所。

It's not going to show them all, but in a pinch it can be helpful.

它不會顯示所有的東西，但在緊要關頭，它可以起到幫助作用。

I think the closest one to here is probably gonna be here at the Don Quixote or here at the shopping center below the Richmond.

我想離這裡最近的可能是在唐吉訶德這裡，或者在里士滿下面的購物中心這裡。

They have a little floor map hidden back here for florida's.

他們有一個小的樓層地圖，藏在這裡，用於佛羅里達州的。

Some people say they're worried about not being able to like read the congee and whatnot.

有些人說，他們擔心不能像讀粥什麼的。

However more often than not to be labeled just like this, it's actually really rare that they're not marked with these.

然而更多的時候是要像這樣的標籤，其實真的很罕見，他們沒有標明這些。

Also since it's in the same building, it's worth mentioning that major chain restaurants like size area here are almost guaranteed to have english on their menu and a lot of them, especially since the pandemic hit just have little tablets that you order your food on.

另外，由於它在同一棟樓裡，值得一提的是，像這裡的大小區域的主要連鎖餐廳幾乎可以保證在他們的菜單上有英語，而且很多餐廳，特別是在大流行病發生後，只是有一些小平板，你可以在上面點菜。

So it makes ordering generally pretty simple.

是以，這使得訂購一般來說相當簡單。

I've had tons of friends and family come and visit and I've never once had any of them have trouble with restaurants and food actually except for this one case.

我有大量的朋友和家人前來拜訪，我從來沒有讓他們中的任何一個人在餐館和食物方面遇到麻煩，實際上除了這一個案例。

Sorry mom, I'm gonna throw you under the bus.

對不起，媽媽，我要把你扔到公車下。

My mom went to one of those tiny old cafes, like the one that we went to, but they didn't speak english.

我媽媽去了那種很小的老式咖啡館，就像我們去的那個，但他們不說英語。

My mom doesn't speak japanese and it was a bit of confusion over coffee but in the end it all worked out beautifully.

我媽媽不會說日語，喝咖啡時有點混亂，但最後一切都很順利。

Nobody died taking a look at the little Backstreet or side street local bars like this.

沒有人死心塌地地看一看像這樣的小后街或小街的當地酒吧。

I understand a lot of people are worried about whether or not they're going to be able to order, talk to locals and these are actually really full of considering is not even three PM right now on a weekday and these things, these things are filling up but there's always going to be a local who wants to speak to you in english.

我理解很多人擔心他們是否能夠點菜，與當地人交談，這些實際上真的很滿，考慮到現在工作日還不到下午三點，這些東西，這些東西已經滿了，但總有一個當地人想和你用英語交談。

It's almost guaranteed thing.

這幾乎是保證的事情。

Also you can just point at stuff or use simple words like beer or whiskey and also I know I said I wasn't gonna use any japanese today but I absolutely love the name of this show stop right here which is our story is too delicious and they sneak in the word nice at the end.

此外，你可以只指著東西或使用簡單的詞，如啤酒或威士忌，而且我知道我說過我今天不會使用任何日語，但我絕對喜歡這個節目的名字，就停在這裡，這是我們的故事太美味了，他們在最後偷偷地加入了好字。

It's like the most recognized.

這就像最公認的。

Also love how these streets just in so many directions.

也喜歡這些街道如何在這麼多的方向。

But what if you need to take a taxi or make a phone call or if you have an emergency or any of those.

但是，如果你需要乘坐計程車或打電話，或者有緊急情況或任何這些情況怎麼辦。

Well let's, let's go find out taxes are pretty easy.

好吧，讓我們，讓我們去發現稅收是很容易的。

Most of them have Gps so you can just give them an address or you can just tell where you want to go to station please.

他們中的大多數人都有Gps，所以你可以直接給他們一個地址，或者你可以直接告訴他們你想去哪裡的車站，請。

It's good thank you thank you, yep, seat belt.

很好，謝謝你，謝謝你，是的，安全帶。

Okay thank you.

好的，謝謝你。

你是來自東京的你喜歡嗎？

Yeah, I love Japan.

是的，我愛日本。

這是你的筆記本。

You like driving?

你喜歡開車嗎？

Yes, very very like driving.

是的，非常非常像開車。

謝謝你。

謝謝你。

Have a nice day.

祝您有一個愉快的一天。

Bye bye.

再見。

That was cool.

這很酷。

We got a really awesome taxi driver.

我們有一個非常棒的計程車司機。

None of this is planned by the way, like the cafe didn't expect them to have english and they did and then the taxi driver actually had a little notebook with, let's go see how phone calls.

順便說一下，這一切都不是計劃好的，就像咖啡館沒想到他們會有英語，而他們有，然後計程車司機居然有一個小本子，上面寫著，讓我們去看看如何打電話。

Yeah, that was completely a red light right there.

是的，這完全是一個紅燈，就在那裡。

Uh yeah, sorry is english?

呃，是的，對不起是英語？

Okay.

好的。

No they're sorry.

不，他們很抱歉。

No english.

沒有英語。

Yes.

是的。

Okay thank you.

好的，謝謝你。

Okay admittedly I wasn't prepared for that at all.

好吧，我承認我根本沒有準備好這一點。

I've eaten, this is kaya so many times and the staff, there may be just the guy answering the phone was not in a good but we'll try another place.

我已經吃過很多次了，這是卡亞，工作人員，可能只是接電話的人不在狀態，但我們會嘗試其他地方。

Sorry is english?

對不起是英語嗎？

Okay thank you.

好的，謝謝你。

Hello, may I help you?

你好，我可以幫你嗎？

I would like to make a reservation.

我想預約。

Yes that is a lot closer to how that was supposed to.

是的，這更接近於那本該有的樣子。

I didn't expect that first one that's a real reservation by the way so now that that is done and dusted.

我沒有想到，第一個是真正的保留，所以現在已經完成了，塵埃落定。

I want to cover a few questions because I'd open this up to my Patreon to ask them what they were afraid of if they didn't speak Japanese in coming into Japan and one of the ones that want to box off right away.

我想涉及幾個問題，因為我想把這個問題開放給我的贊助人，問他們如果在進入日本時不說日語，他們會害怕什麼，其中一個人想馬上裝箱。

The japanese only establishments in all my time in Japan.

在我在日本的所有時間裡，日本人只建立了。

I've only actually seen one of these, the media and social media makes these look much more common than they actually are and more often than not if it's labeled that way, it's probably because it's some kind of suspicious activity, chances are you're not just going to walk into a random bar and then be like get out, this is japanese only, I've never had that and I haven't met anybody who has had that situation.

我實際上只見過一次，媒體和社交媒體使這些看起來比實際情況要普遍得多，更多的時候，如果它被貼上這樣的標籤，可能是因為它是某種可疑的活動，你有可能不會隨便走進一家酒吧，然後就說出去，這裡只有日本人，我從來沒有遇到過這種情況，我也沒有見過任何人遇到過這種情況。

Now one of the questions that came up lot very understandably is the fear of getting lost.
