it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting [Music] for didn’t think I would get this close [Music] for up [Music] this is too much action [Music] speee spee [Music] so as we approach from the side looks like there’s some blockage [Music] and then you can get a better view of the interior [Music] [Music] [Music] h [Music] [Music] this [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] sh looks like there’s another building or Castle [Applause] looks like it’s the main the main part [Applause] [Applause] [Music] think [Music] so I got what I needed which was just some nice closeups I read the reviews being that the entrance thing is overpriced and so I didn’t really want to pay 1,000 yen and as you know and I think it’s a little bit too too risty there have been some quality control issues crowd issues um so I think I got what I needed it’s been pretty nice just to be able to walk in for free [Music] as you know that was this is my first matcha drink in a bottle I haven’t actually bought any of my favorite matcha drinks here uh unfortunately it hasn’t been very prevalent at all and the uh shops tend not to carry these and when they do the quality just isn’t there [Music] spee spe spee spe [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so what we have here is on the left where we just came from and on the right is where the literature and gate Sid [Music] is wow W this is a nice walk I truly didn’t feel like it was going to be a walk in the park there are actually a whole lot of walking space outside of the confines of the tourist area of the castle it’s actually very nice using the action camera it doesn’t shake as much it’s very good for [Music] walking and it’s actually Magnificent the side the side trim [Music] so nicely [Music] manicured I really did not expect this this is I thought it would be crowded but this is like a walk in the park man what better way to spend a Monday this is just blowing my mind if you can see I’m at the foot of a pond right here [Music] and the large fish is right here you see that see [Music] that yep it’s moving what is even more amazing was that I thought I was going to leave without even coming here I thought it would be too touristic but I made it and indeed it was a little too it did seem a little touristic when I towards closer to the castle you got but when you leave it’s like after school you know you just sort of walking off into the sunset wow this is really blowing my mind how peaceful it is so great area to have a lunch and then great area have a lunch run if you can see between between [Music] so here would be a good area to [Music] run wow I totally underestimated Himi and booked my hotel maybe a little too soon f see how nice this is will be a nice area to bike see the fish we can finally get a good look very beautiful it’s a big fish hello there kitty cat [Music] [Music] wow just crazy just nice crazy amazing place to jog and cycle ooh look at that this place is totally like UNESCO on another level without the the hype just the lowkey nature corner come that was a nice Loop got a bird that just flew it’s the main entrance I presume wow this place is mix other cat the Osaka Castle joke [Music] see the bird yeah I’ve been seeing a a lot of these no keep it keep it what the y have that so I think this is the front entrance 250 Yen for adults 50 for kids h h ah so just a quick recap uh this area definitely uh blew my mind uh I came in sort of managing expectations thinking of it reading I always manage expectations uh maybe I did it unconsciously this time where I just read the reviews and some people complained that uh the the the tour was a waste of money um it was crowded um wasn’t worth it um it was the same old same Mo and uh I came in from the side sort of thinking maybe I should opt out maybe it’s not even worth filming the waste of time and then here I have probably an abundance of maybe uh Superfluous now footage which I don’t even know if it’s going to uh fit in the standard 8 or 10 minute videos I like tend to make or that YouTube or the YouTube algorithm really likes but um I think that it may actually exceed 30 minutes we’ll see what we end up with camera I with this phone it’s not the best phone but if you do like the 50 megap to shoot something this far way ey resolution 4K is better yeah but uh [Music] n [Music]
