The WORST Mistake I've Ever Made in Japan ⛩️ ALSO: 2 NEW Patreon Exclusive Videos!

I'm going to spoil you all today!

We have no less than three videos including two more Patreon exclusive episodes from Journey Across Japan: Frozen Frontier.

AND a brand new Abroad in Japan video, featuring three absolute horror stories of the worst things I've ever done in my time living in Japan.


JOURNEY ACROSS JAPAN: Frozen Frontier

Well after four episodes and 1,000km through the snow, Journey Across Japan is over once again. A big thank you to all the kind words on the series, I really enjoyed making this one, despite the freezing temperatures.

IN episode 3, we visited Lake Akan and in the Patreon exclusive episode, I discuss how it might just be my new favourite place in Hokkaido (and why).

And in a fourth and final episode, we visited the notorious Abashiri prison and rode the ice breaker ship into the Sea of Okhotsk.

In this Patreon exclusive episode, I take a look back over the highs and lows of the series and reveal if I had any regrets along the way! We also share a deleted scene of an ice festival that didn't make the final cut! (For reasons you'll discover in the video).

Episode 4

But a huge thank you guys for supporting the series - I hope you all got to discover at least one or two new places you'd like to one day visit and maybe we may have tempted some of you to come over to Japan in February!

Honestly, the month is completely underrated.

And finally, in this week's Abroad in Japan episode, I reveal the three worst things I've done during my time in Japan.

From a terrible language mistake and a horrific sushi dinner, to an awkward moment with Ken Watanabe! Feels good to get back to a story time video from the studio!

Hi Chris, havent gotten around watching all the new Videos yet, but that Video about your mistakes kinda caught my eye. While the Sushi mistake was definitely the funniest, havent laughed as much as this since the fake English slogan Videos, I d definitely never lie to Ken Watanabe. Kidding me? Your lucky you are still as tall as u were and haven't lost a head haha. Nice video, keep up the good humour

Chris!! I'm catching up on your videos (life has been nuts) and I just wanted to jump in here and tell you that since you have gone on your fitness journey, you look so much more energized and happy. I could give a fuck about how you look---I just wanted to say congrats man I'm super proud of you for TAKING YOUR HEALTH BY THE BALLS and making positive change for your overall well-being. It's not something everyone can do and I hope that even when some of the intensity wears off (inevitable) that you will have made a permanent life change to commit to your physical health. Well done and keep up the amazing work as always, you remain the only creator I've sent money to in my life because, well, you just fucking deserve it. I appreciate what you do so much as a window into Japan, and your entrepreneur journey is inspiring. Cheers man.

Haha, god I've made that mistake an awful lot

Abroad in Japan

When I arrived in Japan for the first time... I was trying to enter this restaurant and couldn't get the door to open. We gave up for a bit and ended up coming back and trying again after I remembered Japan has a lot of sliding doors. Turns out that restaurant was one of them HAHAHA XD

This has been the most enjoyable JAJ yet, I'm more excited for your new videos than a new movie or show coming out, keep up the great work Chris!

My most shameful incident in Japan was seeing this really cool promo poster for a manga I liked on the back of a bathroom stall (posters were plastered all over the bathroom) As they were just advertising the manga I went *yoink* took it off the wall and rolled it up and put it down my sleeve. Several drinks later the barman who was very friendly disappeared. Then came back and blankly handed me a copy of the manga comic, the same one the poster was advertising in the bathroom β€œI’d like you to have this!”. Totally CALLED OUT. I still get the douche chills thinking about it 20 years later! Years later the manga artist was in NYC and I got the poster signed by him. β€œOh how did you get this poster”? He asked. Noooooo my web of lies had to continue. πŸ˜‚ I got it framed and I still smile and cringe looking at it on my wall every morning.

it would be cool if both joey and natsuki do a rap completely in Japanese to help keep the flow for natsuki and also natsuki could throw in some broken english to accent it.

Abroad in Japan

It’s a shame there wasn’t one more interesting thing at that ice festival - it would have made the Final Cut!

Abroad in Japan

I think there’ll likely be a couple more!

Thank you good sir. We're eating well today boys and ladies. Itadakimasu

You really are spoiling us. I'm sad to see Journey Across Japan end so soon but looking forward to the next one in the series. Journey Across Japan : The Wedding.

Sean Jones

I really enjoyed this JAJ! I hope you all had fun in the "fuckin Jesus winter." XD

Krispi

You should partner with Ferrero Rocher as with all this content, you are spoiling us! 😁

Luke Beaman

You're too hard on yourself Chris. This JAJ was really entertaining and the cuts made seem really well judged.

Etienne Sharp

I can't believe I've just watched four new videos of yours in one day, lol! I would be really interested in seeing a documentary about life in eastern Hokkaido. I hope you can make it work! Also wondering: will today's Worst Mistak video be the last one filmed in the old studio?

Nynke de Haas

We actually have a new design there from the JAJ rap! And more coming soon :D https://abroad-in-japan.creator-spring.com/

Abroad in Japan

There is actually some new Dr Jelly and McRapsuki merch to tie in with this series of JAJ, it may have flown under the radar a bit. I particularly like the Dr Jelly mug myself. https://abroad-in-japan.creator-spring.com/

This Journey Across Japan was INCREDIBLE! It is a side of Japan that I never saw covered by other people who I follow so this was such a fun treat, and yes, the Pete addition was great :D

Camilla Fontana

So much content, i love it :D

Minggus

The series was fun to watch, we plan to head north - but not until the summer time. We live in a cold place in the states so we have plenty of winter life here :)

Alxa

if you could record Joey's and Natsuki's singing in a proper quality, I think you could edit the rap battle song into a new hit!

Peter Varga

Love the more frequent uploads this week! Any chance for new merch in the future? Thanks again!

HighTide

Really enjoyed this round of JAJ! I really want to try the marinated pork on rice dish πŸ˜‹

Fiona C

Another amazing installment of journey across Japan! Thank you so much for your hard work, Chris! You’re doing amazing :)
