right so like I feel like I feel like frustrated speaking of futuristic inventions that can have a positive impact on our life let me introduce you to the sponsor of today’s video AO it’s a convenient eim technology provider that lets you have data in over 200 countries and regions if you’re a traveler like me then you know the importance of having a working phone to stay safe and connected to the world but roaming costs are really expensive and it’s too exhausting to get local SIM cards or rely on public Wi-Fi AO is a great solution that has helped me stay connected everywhere I go like right here in Japan it’s super easy to use and just takes a few minutes to set up and activate now with a working phone I don’t have to worry about booking an Uber finding a restaurant posting on social media or texting my friends because I’m connected to the world and the best part is that you get to keep your original phone number if you click the link in the description down below and use the code

underground like this one and More impressively in tall buildings which are more like vending machines for cars talk about efficiency to park our car right now at the hotel there’s literally like you pull into this little garage and then the car goes up okay so I I pull here yeah wow this is crazy machine wow this is so freaking wild look how tall it is parking my car at the hotel here in Kumamoto and look at this garage all these are cars and it goes all the way up as far as the IE can see this is so crazy man so crazy so Japanese we are not picking up our car from the car vending machine which is like 20 stories high so they’re going to press a button and the car is going to come from the sky down to delivery this is oh wow [Music] amazing can hear it coming I can’t believe the car just came down from 24 floors wa there it is amazing number five bullet train this is the bullet train to Osaka we’re going to go check it out let’s see what we can find if you are obsessed with unique Transportation like I am then you will love the trains in Japan they are Next Level try riding on the shinkansen aka the bullet train which goes over 320 kmph it is quite expensive but very luxury to ride one and you can travel from Tokyo to Kyoto in less than 2 hours and don’t worry about being late because it is always on time number six vending machines for everything very glad I just bought my mysterious ball from this vending machine Beyond drinks and snacks sweet potato pie tastes pretty fresh too vending machines in Japan give out hot meals so we’re going to go with a hot coffee right here cheers to my hot coffee it’s literally the perfect amount of heat umbrellas and even Electronics offering unparalleled convenience Co before you can even blink it’s there there it’s replenishing there are more than 5 million of them spread around the country right now I’m in a very remote area of Okinawa Island and there’s vending machines here’s the drink smells like monster but here’s where it gets better I just walked into this ramen restaurant and I order on this little machine in front of me I don’t speak to anyone simply order from the vending machine sit down and 2 minutes later the chef brings you your delicious bowl of ramen the best part is only bucks the noodles have this like crunch to it the texture is incredible the soup is creamy I have no words number seven automated agriculture Japan uses the most advanced agricultural techniques including vertical farming drone technology for crop monitoring and automated harvesting machines all of these things increase productivity and reduces labor dependency I can only imagine that in the year 2050 the rest of the world will finally be catching up to what Japan is doing we just entered the fields here of Okinawa where they grow all their vegetables there’s an abundance of fields because the climate is so rich for it in summer season I planted and sweet potato Mustard Leaf and winter season I planting a main that’s pretty awesome number eight smart cities the urban areas of Japan like Tokyo and Fukuoka are developing into smart cities with integrated technology for Energy Efficiency traffic management and Disaster Response these things enhance the quality of life for all Japanese people living in cities I mean just walking around the streets you will notice so many things that just make sense in the train station if you want to get work done you just go in these private booths you put in a dollar and then it opens it’ll make you wonder why don’t other places in the world do [Music] this number nine capsule hotels originating in Japan these accommodations offer compact sleeping pods that are just enough space for a bed they are quite popular among budget Travelers and conveniently located near Urban Transit hubs but beware if you are claustrophobic I’m here in Tokyo Japan and I’m about to check in to this capsule Hotel let’s go discover it’s called 9 hours capsule

spaceship or something all right okay okay yo this is tiny oh my God I’m tripping out right now this is the capsule hotel in Japan I can’t believe this is 100 bucks a night this should be like 20 bucks a night maybe you pay for the experience look I can spread my arms halfway out and I reach the end and I’m short I’m only 5′ 7 and so imagine tall people in here there’s a nice little phone phone placement holder right here you know just built into the wall that’s nice here’s the light switch so I guess that’s off turn it all the way and we’re on One USB only one USB this must be USBC maybe there’s no real Outlet so I’m not sure how I’m going to charge my drone are these speakers oh man this is it that’s dissect this amenities kit that they give you so towel cool small towel pajamas and a shirt very Japanese there’s a toothbrush and toothpaste which I’m going to use there are slippers and another towel so I’m going to go change into this and go check out the bathroom wow time to brush case you didn’t bring her own toothbrush and this tiny toothpaste that’s like an inch big probably works for one or two [Music] times time him take a shower so the shower room is pretty small they do have their own soap and shampoo which is nice sexy [Music] time oh comes out cold nice smells [Music] good you know I got to be honest that was a pleasantly clean and enjoyable shower it really was back to the Pod good [Music] night well well that is the capsule Hotel experience of Tokyo number 10 Elderly Care technology did you know that Japan has the highest life expectancy in the world on average the Japanese live to be 84.95 years old because of their healthy diets and active [Music] Lifestyles how many years have you been doing he was a 15 years old now he’s 72 years old wow I traveled to the island of ok to meet with elders and hear their stories like this lady who’s 103 years old how do you stay busy in your day-to-day life morning he’s training bu in so he she B that one the steing machine really when it comes to Elderly Care Japan utilizes advanced technology like robotic assistance monitoring systems and Smart Homes to support its aging population number 11 Advanced arcades now I’m in Japan this is exactly what I needed to see right now my first trip here in 2011 this is all I remember these arcades as the inventors of Super Mario Zelda Pokémon and Sonic it is no surprise that Japan has insane arcades you’re crazy man in big cities like Fukuoka and Tokyo you can find multiple story arcades and entertainment centers and going inside one will blow your mind this place is huge look at this it’s like entering a new world with cuttingedge Graphics motion sensors and immersive environments to give a futuristic gaming experience trust me if you go to Japan you have to check out an arcade because it is a staple of Japanese [Music] culture number 12 the post office here’s a curveball for you the post office is the only way that Japan is not as advanced as the rest of the world in Tokyo I had to stop by the post office to ship a hard drive to my team who live in the Philippines and not only did it take 30 minutes for a simple task but it had to answer about 50 questions on their little iPad and it was very very stressful I spent 2 years living in Korea and in my opinion I think the two countries are similar when it comes to these old school practices like the post office I know it sounds strange and I hope that someday they’ll be able to get the post office working a little bit better if you couldn’t already tell I love Japan and I think it’s one of the most incredible countries in the world if you’ve never been before I highly recommend it not only for the technology but for the food the cleanliness the nature and the safety

next episodes in Japan like trying the world’s most poisonous fish going deep into Tokyo’s only slum and renting a friend for a day for $100 adato gas and see you later [Music] n [Music]
