famous Japanese author name she gave me
Zaki and he put to you for over 50 years
so they have lots of spots in the area
dedicated to him like our first stop he
was actually really famous for his works
that are related to yokai yes I will
explain more about that when we get
inside let's go
[Music]

like this boy inside yeah giant I will
okay there's one of the yokai inside of
it that smells really good oh my god
cherry tree smell this is actually
really nice cuz the yokai design is
subtle yeah I think it would look really
nice for the summer
it's the bag you crazy or like an ugly
yeah a regular bag when you're wearing a
yukata what does it tell you about each
yokai yeah like explanation of each one
that's really fun it's fun it's like
gives you something to do while I
practice your Japanese English buzz-buzz
yes goku taro after all it is impossible
for a human being to do so oh this
holster is based off of one manga gig
again oh oh yeah like even if you don't
like that certain manga or if you're not
a fan of it they've got all these
different yokai things that you can
enjoy either way you know what I know
what we actually mentioned this booklet
five years ago or something in one of my
first videos this one I knew they would
have it Nihon yokai tizen it's an
encyclopedia of Japanese yokai so if
there's a certain yokai you want to look
up you can fight it in here it's a book
explaining every single yokai to ever
exist I find it super interesting I'm

just taking a stroll around and enjoying
nature yeah we're currently inside the
Grand greenhouse and they have 1,300

pasta dishes they look delicious this
was today's special an assortment of
fresh veggies and nama pasta and they
were really cool about adjusting their
menu they said they are totally fine
with making changes if you want to make
it plant-based or if you want to make it
dairy-free so that was really cool
