Urgh. I had forgotten about Asia's lack of public trash bins. What do they do?

Having lived here for nearly 3 decades I know it's simply not a sailing friendly country - even for the rich, which you absolutely need to pretty much be in the first place here - unless you're totally in the boondocks. So watching content like yours and others (which I've done for a while) has always been bittersweet. That's why I'm looking forward to your upcoming sailing in Japan content. PS I enjoyed you noticing all the things I stopped noticing a long time ago.

Hey Guys, long time fan of your channel. I live in Japan and would love to meet up if possible and show ya what I know. Plus, would love to know about that builder in Japan....

Love your videos but you did get your spiel on the Shinkansen wrong. They are building a maglev bit it's not in operation yet. The Shinkansen just run, very fast, on wheels on tracks.

I know you don't respond to non financial supporters; but while you deliberate and seek to find the "perfect" yacht; time is marching by. You acknowledge the wonderful financial times for astute investors including yourself are enjoying, yet meanwhile I have sailed over 20,000 nautical miles on a beautiful sailing catamaran while I'm physically able to do so..... Yes, I acknowledge I overpaid for her and over equipped her, but life is short...... in the words of Shawshank ..... either get living or get dying! I have enjoyed your sailing videos over the years.... but you stopped sailing years ago........ I look forward to seeing you on a boat that you selected to get living again. Please don't over think or over analyze. Please adjust your budget or your parameters.

Leaning towards a trimaran. Best of both worlds :)

Love Japan. Altho somber, Hiroshima was my to do visit. Barack Obama also visited the same day. Also loved scenery from trains, great way to see the country. And found all those vending machines very interesting, & handy, with cans of hot tea. @10:30, Yep, I felt like everyone was quite because they were peeking out their windows, wondering what westerners are doing in their alleyway. I used translator app a lot. Love the way the vid was done without a lot of yap yap, let the vision speak for itself, with captions. In latest news, a youtube sailing channel increases Japan tourism & real estate prices by 12 points. We now cross to Nick with latest weather. 💜

Love Japan (and Singapore). Been there many times. Talking about sailing, I really do miss you all being on a Cruising Cat and sailing the Bahamas/Caribbean). My unsolicited advice is to stop looking for that performance boat and go back to cruising. Please don't be upset at my saying this. You both are great. It just seems like you are more of a travel channel these past few years.

You seem so relaxed. You observations are very interesting. good production. keep them coming.

that was awesome

Japan is a great place to visit. Were were there a decade or so ago to visit friends and family. We want to return someday. So many great places to visit and so little time

?? I must apologize.... I thought you being off the Vessels would be alot less fun to watch. "BOY WAS I WRONG" I'm sorry but it seems no matter what you two do it is very enjoyable and I watch on my big screen, Japan was awesome thanks!!

Insanely cool video. I spent a fair amount time in Japan in the mid 1990's. I found it interesting and sometimes bewildering, yet oddly comfortable. I liked Japan a lot. Tokyo is surprisingly nice for a city that large but I'm so glad you got to get out and explore. The train system there is something that I envy. Thanks for taking us along!

Your content is always great no matter where you are or what you are doing! Thanks for showing us life and the world.

Shrine to what?

The way you made this video blewed me away, WoW! Thank you.

Great video, enjoyed the music too a lot 😊

I have always wondered what the sailing community is like in Japan. I look forward to that video!

If you started building your own cat you will almost done by now...

Will the wins be thair

Bumm face

I buy my embroidery scissors from Kyoto! Greatest Old Way Craftsman! Just thought I would throw that in. Still enjoy you guys, whatever you are up to. Oh ....about a boat! Someday....Somewhere...

Hi guys. Look, I really love your videos (normally), but today was so disappointing, particularly when you were plugging a sponsor in the beginning.

Was skeptical about this episode, but it turned out to be one of my faves. Amazing job on this O'Kelly's! Most content creators point the camera at their face 90% of the time. You both have found the perfect balance of sharing your experience and showing us fascinating sites. Thank!

nho hatin' here: I understand y'all have got to pay the light bills... so, s**sh** away...I will keep looking!!

As a long-time subscriber I was not expecting a video of you in Japan, a country I lived In the 70's during my teen years. And though almost all youtube videos about Americans in Japan today, even long-term and fluent, just sadden me, I had to take a peek. Your mostly non-verbal, well traveled, and dreamy music background choices created real, immersive, and deeply cherished reveries for me. Thank you so very much! Can't wait to see your sailing Japan episode! 💝

Need to get those legs straighter Nick. Tight hammies …. Great episode as always ….

Who needs a boat? Excellent travelogue. I love your sense of wonder with the cool mysterious music in the background. Love you two.

I would tune in for that, and maybe buy a house in your town

Beautiful vid ! Glad you weren't lost in translation while you were there.🎉.... and very surreal.❤

"Oh, KZfaq" Proceeds to give a look somewhere between disappointed and disgusted 😅😂🤣

Boat ?

Speaking from experience and limited funds history: going smaller and simpler, with modest expectations, and ditching land-based obligations can create a life that’s actually cheaper than land based life. But, marina costs will affect this significantly (on the hook is generally way cheaper). Keep it simple sailor 👍🏻

Hope you're having a funky time! Greetings from Kamakura！

Come back to Japan on your cat. The Wynns are heading there also.

I really enjoyed this video! Adore you guys. The Surfshark add was fun. 😘

The suspensful music tho

Head over to Vietnam next and see if you can find out why they are not more open to cruising boats and the cruising community at large. I haven’t been since 1994 but i understand it hasn’t improved much in that particular arena. 😢

Incredible video of Japan. My wife and I were going in 2020, but Covid said no! It’s still on our bucket list. TY❤

Lol nick is like 2 full heads taller than everyone else! 😂

I wish I could have been able to read words on screen but they were too low to read on my phone 😢. Still I loved to video!

I have watched some channels from Japan, and it is common to tear down an old house and build a new house. Because of this they don't really take care of the old houses is the way they explained it. In the US we look at old homes as historical and there they look at them as junk.

Nick, your atmospheric almost droning background music was sublime. Thank you for the fantastic visuals and minimal talking. A bit of a change from your usual videos, but very nice.

Great video and insight into Japan. Thank you.

Trippy....

Circumnavigating Japan is on our bucket list! I understand from the 'Pacific Solo' channel (who's now sailing Japan) that many fishing villages/ports offer free berths, etc. and have little community centers for visitors. Have you found anything out about this on your visit?

I like it, the food is really what I love about Japan. One of the very few countries with an enduring uninterrupted culinary tradition worth knowing!

Japan needs more Sex!

I remember the first thing I noticed about Tokyo, and Japan in general, is there is ZERO graffiti. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes. "O'Kellyakiyaville" for Megan's town.
