This is the type of experience I like seeing in Japan! No crane games, harajuku, or maid cafes. Just going out and meeting Japanese people

Wow that older gentleman that spent his first years in an internment camp here in the US gave me chills. Those people won’t be able to tell their stories for too much longer, so it is a blessing to hear their experiences now.

Mate, your videos are so refreshing. No clickbait or filler crap, just pure humble life captured on camera. Safe travels.

I'm an Okinawan descent who has lived in Okinawa and this video brought back so many memories. Great job capturing the heart and soul of Okinawa. Thank you for the great video and I'm loving the content.

I lived with Japanese exchange students in New York. I can honestly say that they love and are fascinated with America. I have never seen a culture like this before that is so accepting. It was an absolute honor to spend time with all of them. That was over 30 years ago.

Definitely your most gangster video brother. That man was so nice and the driver interpreter was just lovely. You always find the coolest people. You are a legend my friend.

I work as an engineering consultant doing public design work and I can confirm it has the ability to make even a street hardened Yakuza lose his mind.

I lived on Okinawa for 2 years when I was in the Marine Corps. There is a ton of history on that island and the people are top notch. Definitely the highlight of my career.

Se te extraña como siempre Tommy, gracias por el video 💜

There’s a row of houses in my neighborhood (US) built by ex-Yakuza members. Their style is distinctly Japanese and stands out quite a bit.

After seeing these two guys, I wonder how many people I know have that kind of history and just don't talk about it. I would not be surprised. He seemed a lot more relaxed in this video. I thought you were staying a lot longer in Japan. Welcome back any time and hope you can do a meetup next time

From someone who enjoys traveling and learning about the local culture, lifestyle, and language you're a true inspiration Tommy! You're content is so good, I'm willing to sit thru the product plug....this time. Lol. Keep up the great work!

Yeah, I can definitely feel that bit about people being tough to deal with. I can't imagine being in a group for so long and not getting support from them when you want to do something different. But, I guess that's life.

Really fun video to watch. Reminds me of parts of my family in Okinawa who were also Yakuza bosses and left that life. Think this is the best video on youtube that I've seen that encapsulates the true vibe I felt when I was born and raised their for most of my life around the same area you are visiting. Glad you had a great time and hope to maybe see you around Okinawa sometime :)

You got the best storytelling ability out of all the travel channels I've seen

Hey Sabbatical, I just wanted to say every time I see your vlogs, I genuinely smile. Thank you for everything that you do & I hope you have an amazing 2023!

Tommy this is a very good video. The importance of sharing your life stories and understanding the people of Japan. This is what life is about. Getting off our buts getting out exploring and sharing your life with someone else from some place elsewhere ♥️

@ 12:30 wow graduated high school in 1958. Good to see him still trucking. That lady next to him is some great help. Maybe family member? either way its amazing to see him in that spot paying tribute.

Just binge watched like 10 of your videos, keep these up please!

I love your coverage of Okinawa. As someone who is living on the island, I think your videos are really down to earth which is on point with island life. Especially with the giant banana spiders! Take care!

Watch the ads to support this guy. One of the best channels in KZfaq right now. Thanks Tommy 😎

Thank you, Tommy. I'm looking forward to the next video in Tokyo. Be safe 🙏🏾

That OG was serious. I noticed his two missing pinkies

The tattoos and missing fingers, he's legit

Nice to have you back Sabbatical been missing your blogs,we were wondering what happened and hope you were OK.

That translator is adorable

This is a very captivating video. Funny, historic and Sabbatical! Go job man !!

Awesome video Tommy! I’m glad also that you get some sponsorship, very well deserved 🤙🏼

Japan is a dream destination. Your videos are fun to watch and make the dream, a possible reality. To go as one and meet friends along the way like you do. A true adventure. Thank you for your content 🙏🏼

Happy New Year! This was another great experience, thanks Tommy!

Really appreciate your videos, Sabbatical! Nothing else really like them out there, keep up the great work.

I just realised he's the Yakuza boss that got interviewed by Insider channel to tell every story about Yakuza

i truly hope you are thankful to that guy. hes truly taking you to some unique 1 of a kind experiences. If you look up yakuza videos on youtube theres not a whole lot and if it is its with current yakuza. Hardly ever will you see a former yakuza boss on a video, not one from the time period he was. and hes right that would have been the time where being a yakuza was the best because the laws were so loose and the police were bought or scared. they turned their head to everything. thats when there was real violence and being a yakuza got you actual respect everywhere. when you were treated like a celebrity that would kick heads in anywhere you went. that former boss must have so many unique crazy stories he could tell. some he probably cant ever speak of. the stories he could tell

Love your videos so much, amazed by how chilled and relaxed you are and your language talented and all wonderful people u met along the trip. you are born to do this

I get chills watching the episode how cool and positive it is.

Amazing videos man

Seeing how nice everyone is in these Japan vids makes me want to go there even more!

You're amazing! First time watched your video week ago and instantly get hooked, keep up man!

dude these videos are truely amazing

That Lorinser Mercedes was gorgeous! One of my biggest regrets was getting rid of an e320 with a set of them

Your the best, tommy! You did it again! You took me to Japan the tommy way. Been waiting on new video, again i thank you.

I really enjoyed both Yakuza videos immensely! Thanks

these videos are so relaxing to watch, please if someone knows more youtubers as chill as sabbatical do let me know :D

Hell yea man I'm excited to see where you're going in Tokyo! Unlike many other KZfaqrs - not to diss or underestimate any of them, they're valid in their own right - I expect the unexpected from your channel and that's the coolest thing about it. Whereas many people would think Sky Tree, Asakusa, Cat Cafes, Maid Cafes, Harajuku fashion, Shibuya Crossing or Kabukicho, I expect you to go seeing other obscure and less known spots around the city. Although if you wanna keep going on this streak of Yakuza-hunting, I'd expect you to stumble upon Kabukicho (the Red Light District) or somewhere like Roppongi, but in a interesting way since you always go roaming around the country "randomly" seeing the lesser known parts of every country you visit and talking to the locals. That's what makes this channel so human and organic, instead of a scripted tourist cliché itinerary, you just freely walk around explaining historical/cultural trivia of everywhere you're walking by while talking to people. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to seeing your next video.

As a viewer I am in awe of your fearless nature. The stories from the two ex Yakuza and the elder Okinawan gentleman were fascinating. Continued success.

This was video gold. We need more of this type of content!! 🙌🔥

Good insight in to Japan not often covered on KZfaq or anywhere else. Nice one tommy and Japanese friends

This gentleman that u’ve had in the videos, is such an interesting person‼️ I thoroughly enjoyed the Japan content so far.

I guess I have commented an all your Japanese posts... I've really enjoyed them. Brings back a lot of fond memories. I hope you have more up your sleeve.

What i love most about u is that you dont judge people. I use to be friends with what most people call criminals also and what i learned that they make better friends then you would think.

I so look forward to your vids. Love em.Keep up the good work pal.

Babe wake up, new Sabbatical video just dropped.

Man, that's the good life. Seeing nice places, meeting new people and along the way they maybe become your friends - and the best part, it's happens in a country you're not familiar with nor 100% sure with their language. Amazing Content 🙌

Good episode. Hope you go back to Japan after all your other adventures.

すごいおもしろい！I once inadvertently walked into a yakuza bar in 石垣市 and it was both unsettling and very enjoyable as drinks piled up and traditional live music played on.

Was a great video! Love the insight of the yakuza. Happy New Year 🎊

I absolutely love your Japan videos ! I’m addicted to them lol!

i absolutely love these videos

Holy Bruno Sacco! @8:42 That. My friend, is a Lorinser W140 S-class. A 600SEL to be exact. The W140 'Kathedral' was the last time the SEL type was made. SEL stands for 'Sonderklasse Einspritzung Lang' meaning Unequalled(Special)class Injection Long. On generations of the S-class after the W140, the type badge would just say 500L or 600L. This is the 600, and Yakuza driving a top range S class with the v12, as indicated on the rear window sills, would mean there is no boss above him regionally. And that is both very impressive and also intimidating. The car is most likely an original, seen as it is imported with LHD steering setup and leather. However, the wheels are not (time)'correct' and im guessing its part of a custom job, like the full black wrapped roof, doorhandles and mirrorcovers. Not going into the 7.0 and bigger v12s that seem to pop up online. I think theyre too obscure to have any reliable info on.

Happy to see you back Tommy, happy new year, awesome episode. Hasta la proxima

What a trip that you came across that old dude from WA. Was not expecting him to speak perfect English and sound like that lol. How cool!

This was awesome!!!!

Starting off the year strong, you love to see it!! ❤️ Looking super slick Tommy 😎

Enjoyed your Okinawan group outing! Good times and very relaxing!

I've been fighting Covid and found this channel not only a Ironically a good sponsor , but WOW I love your content. The film style feels like I'm a fly on the wall experiencing cultures come together. Thank you ^_^

Wonderful job🔥🔥

This has got to be the coolest youtube video ever.

Nice one bro,i'm gonna go there soon.Outstanding work. Happy New Year ✌

nicee back again with some yakuza action. Can't wait for the Tokyo vlogs!

Can't wait for the next one!

The guy that went from being a Yakuza boss to being a monk must have so many great stories!

Awesome episode man.. Can't believe the characters you found here.. Great watch for sure:-)

Another masterpiece from Sabbatical. The rarest of rare vlogs.👍5🎆

You are the best, my favorite channel.

Thank YOU for Another Excellent Video! He seems to have been taken as much by complete surprise as Yuki did, regarding the MF remark, even though it would be considered a compliment here in US by most BA's (providing you were friends).

Waited 3 weeks for this it’s finalllly here😮‍💨

Man I love your videos being able to see the world from my phone

Japan seems to have a lot of real characters…interesting people and place 😊. Tommy also creates great conversations with people

Awesome content

Nice I'm early-ish! I found your channel recently and especially love these videos in Japan. Can't wait to go back someday 😌

The guy said get out of here before it gets dark... What a cool old dude

Great video again, looking forward to more of your travels in Japan. We have those same baggage machines in Australia at our domestic terminals, but I haven't seen them elsewhere before.

Love your videos

Really enjoyed your trip too Japan. Amazing trip. Be safe on your travels.

Yeah dude. Always great content. Cheers from Sweden.

The Yakuza dude is like Prince he speaks thru a translator 😂
