We're in Japan!
Not really
We're at Disney World in Florida
And this is Epcot
Part of that is World Showcase
Where they have a really big lake
They've got sections themed on different countries around the world
Where they've got restaurants
Some of them have rides
And films
And things to do
And this is the Japan section
So as I normally make videos about Japan
I thought it'd be fun to show you around
Fake Japan at Disney World in America!
This is the main building
With the shop
And Tokyo Dining, the restaurant we're going to
And Teppan Edo are both up there
You can see the rest of World Showcase
And the famous Epcot globe
I'm making a separate video all about Epcot
If you want to see more of that
Over there, it's the gate we went to in Miyajima
A much smaller version
Here we are in Miyajima
With the floating tori on the water
The tide's out at the moment
You can see the actual one from when I went there in my video
Of course the real tori on the water
Doesn't have this building from Canada in the background
Here's the shop in the Japan pavilion
We've come in to hunt for Kinoko no Yama
Our favourite Japanese sweets
I'm seeing lots of Hello Kitty already
And Pikachu
Ah and they've got Tokidoki stuff
That's not actually Japanese
They're from America
And the designer's Italian
But it does look Japanese
Ah no, it's Hello Kitty crossover
That's allowed then
Hello Kitty toaster!
Gudetama
We've got some figures
Sailor Moon
Gotta love cute socks!
Totoro
And Gigi
On to the Japanese gadgets
Everybody needs a toast stamp
What's going on over here?
Hedgehog sponge, aww!
"I don't sting, I clean"
"Spiky microbrush hair"
They're cute too, the cloud ones
A cloth for cleaning your tap
Essential
So cute!
I think they're getting pearls out of the water
What's that Phil?
Ramen party
Ah it's the sushi socks
I saw these in Tokyo
They had them in the Moshi Moshi Box in Harajuku
Probably loads of other places as well
We've got some wind chimes
Bonsai over there
And incense sticks
Do you think we'd be able to grow a bonsai?
We've tried and failed, right?
We had a full size one
But it died
It lasted for a while
But we're not very good with plants
Not a bad price - $34
Yeah, that is pretty good actually
This one's cute
We can't take them home though
Oh no, you can't bring plants home
Aww, little edamame!
They're chopstick holders
They're the perfect shape aren't they
The rest of them are, yearh
That's quite cool
I guess you can use the bowl
For sauce or pickles
Vegetable shapers
Turn your vegetables into an aeroplane
And a bunny
I think we've found the sweets up ahead
There's a big choice of gummy candies
Ah they do have kinoko no yama!
And Takenoko no Sato
What's this one?
Kikori no kirikabu
I'm not sure what that means
It looks like it's in the same series
And these ones are tree stumps
These are my favourite Japanese sweets
They're mushrooms with biscuit stalks
And chocolate on the top
Really good
$4 - how much are they on Japan?
I can't remember
I just bought them without thinking how much they were
A couple of hundred yen probably?
So that's like £1.50 maybe
Yeah, they probably cost a bit more here
They're like $2, $2.50 maybe
$4 isn't bad
I thought they'd be quite a bit more actually
I'm tempted to try these ones
Because I haven't seen them
I want to buy them
But it is super hot
It's so hot today, they will totally melt
Look at this one, Thomas the Tank Engine
With a Thomas face on the end
It's so weird seeing Thomas the Tank Engine things when you go to Japan
It's the most English thing
Here's the Ramune
We've got original,
Strawberry, orange...
And melon
$3.29 that's quite good for Ramune
And Dragonball flavour
Ooh there's some more round here
Coke, lemon...
Blue Hawaii
I wonder what that tastes like
There's more round that side as well
This one looks like medicine
It's an energy drink
And coffee in a can!
Where's the hot chocolate?
Black coffee in a can
Oh no, more Ramune
Grape
Blueberry
And raspberry
Mochi!
Fairly good selection
That's a lot of flavours
Poppin Cookin
Tanoshii cakes
That means fun cakes
And Pocky
This looks nice
Sesame popcorn
I do love sesames
Curry popcorn!
That's good, we had that at Tokyo Disneyland
And nori popcorn
There's a good selection of chopsticks
These ones have sushi on
That's cool
They look natural style!
Here's a couple of Kitkats
There's matcha green tea
And dark chocolate
This always makes me laugh
It says "Otona no"
I can't read that kanji
But it means "flavour of adults"
And some Puccho
They're chewy candies
Here's some proper cooking ingredients
That's cute!
Bijutsukan a collection of Japanese arts
Bijutsukan means museum
Kawaii ne?
Melty go round Harajuku Girl
By Sebastian Masuda
He owns 6% Dokidoki
You can tell it's one of his
It's like the time capsules he did
Where people brought loads of cute things to put inside
They were Domo shaped
Kind of crazy that's in a zen garden
Yes!
That doesn't fit at all!
I do often wonder
Why cute characters and things are normal in Japanese culture
Where in other cultures they'd seem childish
I just think it's really interesting
Tell me if this looks like your bedroom!
There's Vocaloid figures on the shelves
This is like the perfect fridge
I can't help thinking
They need a puffier petticoat for this skirt
Look this is true
It says, "When you love kawaii...
The characters tend to follow you wherever you go"
Look at the fruit & vegetable umbrellas
Sweetcorn umbrella
I've seen these in Tokyo
The rabbit construction barriers
And Hello Kitty ones as well
They actually do use these
In the streets
There's a picture
Now we're talking!
The characters of kawaii
We've got Funassyi
Bary-san, I don't know him
He's cute
Tarepanda, I know him
Look Mamegoma!
So cute!
Here's our friend Domo-kun
And Kumamon
I'm hoping to see lots of him when I go to Kumamoto next year
The shop was actually pretty good
It had quite a lot of cute things
More mainstream characters
That people know
Like a lot of Studio Ghibli, Hello Kitty
That sort of thing
They had a really good selection of sweets and food as well
Ienjoyed looking round that
And the kawaii museum
Was fun
It had a lot of cute stuff
But it was kind of weird to see it all in a museum
Especially when it's the sort of things
That people buy at Hyper Japan
Or that you've got yourself at home
To see it in a glass cabinet
Is kind of strange!
There's a Japanese garden
With a bridge
And the five storey pagoda
Look there's some koi carp
Let's take a closer look
Hello!
Can you see, there's authentic Japanese Remy
From Ratatouille
I've seen him around a few times
I think it must be a treasure hunt
We're not quite sure
But I think each country in World Showcase
Was funded by the country itself
So they have tried to make it at least semi authentic
Looking at the UK section
The individual parts are a bit like places in the UK
But you'd never have them all together
So maybe it's the same here
And the cast members
That's the staff members at Disney World
The waiters, waitresses and everyone
Working there
Are from the actual countries
So all the waitresses in the cafe we went to
Are from Japan
