The Biggest Abroad in Japan Video of All Time is Just Days Away 🍿 Patreon Sneak Peek

It’s big.
It’s ridiculous.
It’s finally here.

One of the great things about being human is we can set ourselves arbitrary goals and then slowly ruin our mental health trying to achieve them.

(A bit like the time I bet on Trash Taste I’d get a six-pack in three months. Spoiler: I didn’t. Unless you count the beer tucked in the fridge.)

A few months back I had the frankly stupid idea of making 101 Things To Do in Tokyo. Not the easy way, sitting in a chair, rattling off a list while zooming in on stolen Google Images like a college PowerPoint.

No, we actually went out and did them. All of them. On camera. In glorious 4K.

For two months Natsuki and I stomped across the metropolis, from offshore islands with robot toilets to actual caves on Tokyo Bay. We collected so much footage, I think my hard drive now weighs more than a family car. 

I still don’t know the final runtime, but it’s hovering around 1 hour 30 making it the longest Abroad in Japan episode ever. It’s essentially like 5 videos in 1, with entire self contained chapters.

There’ll be an epic behind-the-scenes episode just for Patreon after it drops, but in the meantime, here’s an early sneak peek of one of those chapters: Shimokitazawa - Tokyo’s hipster labyrinth of thrift shops.

I can’t wait for this beast to go live in the next couple of days. Above all, hopefully it’ll help a lot of you who are planning trips to Japan this Autumn.

That said, I’ll admit I’m looking forward to escaping Tokyo in the fall. My heart belongs to the countryside and the far flung corners of the country. It’s time we got back to filming them.

For now guys enjoy a preview of one of my favourite sections of the video, where we explore the often-overlooked, trendy area of Shimokitazawa.

As always, many thanks for making this all possible.
