yo check it out it's snowing
it's snowing again i never get to see
snow in tokyo
it hasn't stopped snowing for the past
three months
i am so happy right now i am so sick of
this
am i smiling too much i feel like i feel
like i'm smiling too
so i am heading up to morioka to visit
charlotte for a couple days was going to
go by bullet train but an earthquake
damaged the tracks
so rented a car it's about five
maybe six okay about six six and a half
hours
to go up there and it's been beautiful
weather pretty much the entire time
does it balance it balance no
right now we're looking up this is a
buddhist temple but
there's a shrine gate right there a tory
gate and we're trying to figure out why
like
if there's a separate shrine like i feel
like the rule has been if there's a
torii
then it's a shinto shrine and not a
buddhist temple but i know for sure that
there's a buddhist temple just like
seconds behind that gate so why is there
a gate
i can't find anything saying that
there's a shrine here it's all tempting
it all says temples
buddhist temple why is there a gate i
think we're gonna have to ask the staff
just ask them just be like what's up
my name is
had no idea just learn something new
yeah that's really awesome
we've been here how long how long
sixteen years and we've always had the
assumptions we've always been like oh
there's a torii
[Music]
luckily we are literally the only people
here yeah
that was really cool i had no idea i am
so happy that we asked
i'm so called asking them because it
would have bothered me for so long
honestly after being here in japan for
so long you don't expect to learn new
things but we still are
so yeah isn't that awesome look at this
this is into a cliff
[Music]
the last time i was here i got attacked
by a swarm of hornets
because it's the winter there aren't any
hornets if we suddenly get attacked by a
swarm of hornets in the middle of the
winter if only
we had yamada bug spray
this this bug spray company contacted us
and was like hey would you promote our
bug spray i'm not i'm i'm not i'm just
not
promoting bugs but if you want to go
camping we should totally do
a camping thing this summer yeah i'm
totally up for it in the summer
yeah there's like this tiny
there's like no appropriate space to
walk on
so we're trying not to fall in there
all right so charlotte why are we in
yoyogi park now
because i stole all your footage for my
video you have to film more
this is exactly what happened and i
don't mind at all i don't oh
it suddenly got windy and cold from
where i live to where norm lives it's a
different
season yeah it's only like three days
later yeah you would think it's been
three months
but it's been it's been three days we
got the crows just hanging out
chilling deadly crow there's lots of
crows here
yeah and they're very big if you weren't
aware japanese crows are
strangely large they really are i was
really impressed with that the first
time i came to japan
like why are the crows so big what the
hell in canada they're tiny
yeah they're like hand sized look at it
it's a beast it's like looking at us
there are blooming sakura trees over
there
let's go take a quick peek at the sakura
[Music]
i have no idea what's going on over here
but i want to join
but i'm very very curious yeah like i
need a suit
i think we're both wildly underdressed
for whatever occasion that is
there's all that sakura and then the
rest of the park
nothing it's just brown yeah so people
were wondering why that one's blooming
certainly it's a certain type of sakura
that blooms a lot earlier than the
others it's not like blooming early for
this year or something
it always blooms early but there's only
like as you see four trees of it
in the entire park you know i went to
visit chris after
visiting you i saw that i saw that he
uh gave you the mushroom farm yeah
that sounds so bad
it does be so confused if they don't
understand
the whole backstory it um yeah it caused
a bit of
causative drama on twitter we're no
longer friends clearly
clearly he uh that's okay him and i are
on the rocks too he threw a snowball at
he threw a snowball at me
like pointing were you okay
it was so it was like it was like like
three feet away
and it also all went down the shirt so
that was great
yeah when i was up in morioka with
sharla
we planned on filming this this whole
set of videos together
do that and then we don't no we don't
why am i walking on the road when
there's these beautiful trees up here
look at these i like how they wear
scarfs i didn't know this but
apparently these are to protect them
from a specific type of bug
among other things but yeah they can't
climb up yeah
yeah i had no idea either so
it must be a beetle or something yeah it
is huh so
i had to google it one day
[Laughter]
what they're so polite in japan just a
random
what's up dude i wasn't expecting that
okay
just a fair heads up to you though what
i am gonna expose your
addiction to take out food don't you
