Inside Japan's WORST Hotel Room | Feat. CDawgVA (Wacky Weekend)

Hey guys,
I hope you're all having a splendid weekend!

A few weekends ago, I didn't have a particularly splendid weekend.
I got in a car with Connor and drove to Shikoku, to visit the final two prefectures in Japan I've yet to visit (Kochi & Tokushima).


What I envisioned as a laid back, fun trip of discovery and wonder, turned into the most traumatising few days of this year so far, as we crossed a treacherous rope bridge over a ferocious river in a tropical storm, to staying in Japan's worst hotel room (thanks Connor).

We've got a fantastic Patreon exclusive episode out later this week, explaining what happened behind the scenes and revealing why almost half of the video that we shot, ended up being removed!

I honestly don't think I've ever left so many scenes on the cutting room floor but the good news is the Patreon episode will feature them!

For now, enjoy this edition of wacky weekend - it was a fairly epic adventure - and I'll see you with the Patreon behind the scenes episode later this week.

Really looking forward to the behind the scene from this one xD

Arevya

Did you see James May's puppet thing from when he visited during 'Our man in Japan'?

Alex Bennett

awesome video Chris! lovely images of the scenery, just lovely! (not so much of the hotel room)

Peter Varga

I loved that Indiana Jones bridge of death and the scenery! Congrats on visiting all of Japan and bringing us along for the ride!

Carol Denn

That bridge was amazing. I so want to do that, in the rain over a raging river! The dolls, I get the ‘keep busy’ passionate hobbies but I do agree with Connor. It just has an overwhelming sadness, a desperate lonely emptiness to it. It makes me think of interacting on the internet honestly. The room........ I’m still flapping and screaming “NO don’t touch it!” My germaphobe kicked on overdrive and I didn’t sleep last night. I’m on a cleaning frenzy today. Oh God! 😣

This was a super fun/entertaining video! Congrats

John Lo

For real!

tiizen

I was surprised it was 400k views in a short time yesterday.

Deric Chong

As of this comment being posted, what Dalena said is true! This video is on YouTube's trending section. Way to go Chris and Connor!!

Michelle Mundling

It might be a bit late, but congrats on being in the top 10 trending videos on YouTube!!

When I was around 12, my parents accidently booked a similar hotel room like that while we were on vacation. It ended worse than yours though haha!

Sophie Counsil

I hope the Patreon video includes more scarecrows. 🥺 Those were so neat!

Lady Long Limbs

I'm surprised a hotel as bad as that is allowed to exist in Japan, but it does seem to be out in the boonies.

The video is doing so well!

DinoKōyō

The hotel room is shocking but the scarecrow village very nice 😊 by the way in the gymnasium of that village a doll of James may was created by the lady when he did his Amazon Japan 🇯🇵 journey 😉🇯🇵👍

Yay am so glad this videos doing so well, I love all videos with you and connor, they like a magic! Bring on the bts, cant wait!!

Caz T

I kept saying "don't stay there don't stay there" while watching the video. You definitely could've contracted an infectious disease! Or got pneumonia..

Oscar

He no like Volcano

Alvin

Great content but still waiting to see you get Garnt in a bath

Thomas

I would have slept in the car if that was my hotel room.

Michelle Mundling

There is _no_ way you were actually considering staying in that hotel room. No. Way. I've seen borderline rooms before but that place looked and sounded putrid.

Argus9 (Jonathan)

For once I am not jealous of your adventures.....

wendy weems

That hotel was a money laundering front, 1000%

Does anyone else think the white scarecrow reclining on the hall floor has some really suspect hand placement?

I'm not convinced this is the worst hotel in Japan, or even in Shikoku. In 2019 i stayed in this place: https://goo.gl/maps/C7KQR9W6VuKD2ffQ9 Unfortunately it isn't in booking.com, so i can't compare reviews. It has many of the same problems as the one in the video, albeit due to it being japanese style, there is no bed to hide stuff under. But they had an aquarium in the lobby, that was so filled with algae you couldn't see anything in it, and of course there were no fish either. Also, the wallpaper was coming off everywhere. Btw: In contrary to you guys we didn't do it of our own free will, it simply was the only place we could find in the area that had a free room.

Naryoril

Love this episode. It was worth risking your lives for. I also use Sony cameras. Just wondering what lens I need to make my arms look like popeye's, the way Connor's did in the hotel?

Dave Morrison

I stayed at the "Hotel Fine Aroma" in Osaka a few years back. I didnt find out that it was a love hotel until I got to the room, complementary vibrator and condoms on the night stand. It was slightly cleaner than the one in your video but I think that it should be in the running for worst hotel. The bed was just a box spring with a thin memory foam pad on top and the whole room smelt like someone had chain smoked in it before i arrived.

I knew I had seen those scarecrows before!!! Thank you for reminding me where from!

Liam Miles

Censor guy missed Chris's face

DanTheManWithThePants

Hey Chris! From what I remember from James May in Japan, he's been in Nagoro during the show and I think there's now a scarecrow of him in the School!

Maybe the owners of the Hotel will see this video and finally have an eye opening and renovate the whole thing. Then in a year, we could have an update video 👌🏼

tiizen

So just off the screen cap, I'm already getting vibes of Dan Bell and his visits to bad hotels here in North America.

Jaziem

The chemistry between you two gents is always chefs kiss. It seems that you two bring the best out of each other while making a video, excited to watch this!
