00:00A few minutes later...
00:03Those three guys have been messing around for a while now.
00:08Japanese TV program interview.
00:12Where are you from?
00:17What are you doing in Japan?
00:20Going around Tokyo and all the Akihabara, Shinjuku, Shibuya.
00:24All the neighboring areas.
00:27Traveling around the world on the internet!
00:32You were messing around over there earlier.
00:34So we actually saw you doing the gacha.
00:37Yeah, we have friends back at home who really like those buttons and stuff,
00:41and they asked us to get them some.
00:43They asked for a lot.
00:46What's that?
00:48Oh, this?
00:50The N64.
00:53We got quite a few here.
00:56They're all in here.
01:03They wanted one of each,
01:05but the one we had the most trouble with was the GameCube controller button.
01:11We got a lot of N64s,
01:13but the GameCube was very scarce.
01:17I think there was at least 20.
01:2010,000 yen.
01:24My wallet's empty.
01:28Nintendo's huge controller is in the key holder.
01:34The rarest spot at Narita Airport.
01:40The GameCube is nowhere to be found.
01:43How much is it?
01:45How much for one capsule?
01:47600 yen.
02:16You're kidding!
02:18What did you get?
02:20It's the GameCube controller!
02:22You did it in one try!
02:24One try!
02:26It's one of the hard ones.
02:28You gave us the luck!
02:30Good luck!
02:32Isn't that amazing?
02:34Are you going to give all of this to your friends?
02:36Thank you!
02:38Thank you!
02:40You guys are so lucky!
02:43We won!
02:46Yu has the ukulele.
02:51Can I interview you for a bit?
02:55Is it because of the ukulele?
02:59It's a little high-pitched.
03:02It's wonderful.
03:04Why do you have a guitar?
03:12I don't know.
03:16It's really good.
03:18It's an original song.
03:20It is.
03:33What is that?
03:35You're really good at it.
03:37It's good.
03:39What a good song.
03:41Did you just make it?
03:43Yes.
03:45I experienced this song.
03:47I felt like
03:49it's my first time in Japan in a while.
03:51So when I got to the airport,
03:53I feel like I'm trying to
03:55welcome myself
03:57and feel welcomed.
03:59Is she a professional?
04:03It's like she's in a dream.
04:07She's so free!
04:12What do you do in Japan?
04:14Skateboarding.
04:16Skateboarding?
04:18She was in the Olympics.
04:20What?
04:22Really?
04:24She's skating?
04:26Yes, she's competing.
04:28She was skating yesterday.
04:30Really?
04:32She competed in the first Olympics
04:34here in Tokyo.
04:36She got 6th place.
04:38In Paris, she got 6th place again.
04:41Really?
04:43The truth is...
04:47She's a new heroine of the skating world
04:49created by the U.S.A.
04:53Even in the Olympics,
04:55she didn't hold back
04:57and just went for it.
05:02Ukulele love!
05:04She's holding a ukulele.
05:06There she is!
05:09X-Games skateboarding
05:11on the Suzukan today.
05:13Freedom
05:15and set a lot of goals
05:17and don't be afraid
05:19and find your heart.
05:21Follow me.
05:25For you.
05:27She's the queen of Japan.
05:33She's funny.
05:47Where are you from?
05:49Where are you from?
05:51United States.
05:53This is my first time ever outside my United States.
05:56Welcome!
05:58Why did you come to Japan?
06:26Once upon a time,
06:28there was a Nakasendo
06:30connecting Tokyo and Kyoto.
06:34On a long and steep road,
06:36there was a Shukubamachi.
06:43Samurai road.
06:45Do you walk without using a train?
06:47No, we are.
06:49Just our feet.
06:52Nice.
06:54Bond with my best friend.
06:56That's it.
07:01I'm along for the ride.
07:03It was my idea.
07:05So I'm ready for it.
07:07I'm taking him with me.
07:09He's so excited for it,
07:11so I got excited.
07:13Sit still, I work at home
07:15and I sit still all day
07:17and my idea of a vacation is walking.
07:19That's probably why.
07:23So you're saying that you want to take the track too.
07:25I'll come show you.
07:29Let's go.
07:31You need new shoes.
07:33Let's go.
07:35Yes, he's ready.
07:37I'm glad it's a show like this.
07:39If you want to win, come to Nakasendo!
07:41If you want to win, come to Nakasendo!
07:47Where are they taking you?
07:53Where is it?
07:55Nakatsugawa.
08:01He's here.
08:03My friend.
08:07Starting from Nakatsugawa.
08:11This way.
08:15I want to jump in a tanuki ravine.
08:17It is a spot I had found
08:19right off the Nakasendo trail
08:21up towards a really beautiful waterfall
08:23that I had once again seen
08:25YouTubers go to
08:27and it looked so beautiful.
08:29I have tried even not to look up more about it
08:31because I'm just so excited
08:33to see it in person.
08:37I have a whole goal planned.
08:39I love tanukis.
08:41The legend, I liked Studio Ghibli
08:43growing up and truly
08:45I appreciate the message.
08:47Once again, I looked up the original Hage Tanuki.
08:49The story is really cool.
08:59I don't know how it's related to the tanuki
09:01or why it's named that.
09:03It's Tanuki Okitsune.
09:05I wanted to see nature.
09:07I wanted to search for a tanuki
09:09as the legend goes. Maybe I'll see one.
09:15So, let's go.
09:33So, Ochihajuku is technically
09:35on the...
09:47Our first stay is
09:49near Sumago.
09:51I believe so going through
09:53Magome.
09:57We do not like him.
10:05Oh!
10:07That's that New York walking.
10:09No apologies for bumping into you.
10:11No, yeah, no Sumimu-sense
10:13in sight.
10:15No eye contact, they just go.
10:23For a little while,
10:25it took us three trains to get here.
10:27I'm excited to get away from
10:29anything that runs on gas.
10:31Nakasendo!
10:33Nakasendo!
10:43The rocks only go that way.
10:45We follow the...
11:01You need to be careful with the camera.
11:03Yeah, be careful.
11:13No, nothing like this.
11:15Definitely not.
11:17It's just everywhere.
11:27I really am.
11:31What am I doing checking the map?
11:33The map is beneath us.
11:35I'm at a cool 75 right now.
11:37Oh, yeah.
11:45Yeah, I could go four more.
11:4750s and 50s.
11:51On the inside.
11:55You blow 50 yet?
11:57You dip it into low power mode?
11:59I brought an extra battery.
12:01I'll plug it in somewhere.
12:03Don't worry, I'll plug him in.
12:15Jewel on the beach.
12:29This is awesome.
12:31So, what is
12:33crystal salt?
12:51Oh, I see.
12:53It's natural salt
12:55made by craftsmen.
12:57Yu,
12:59how about a souvenir?
13:03I would love to taste some.
13:05Can we get some?
13:07Of course.
13:15It's delicious.
13:19So, when you sweat, you lose the salt
13:21in your body, too.
13:23So, it's good for you, very good
13:25It really does.
13:27Power!
13:37Genuinely, what intrigued me about the
13:39Nakasendo, there is no way to travel
13:41like this left in the world.
13:43I'm glad it's here.
13:47Are you going to Tsumago from here?
13:49Yes, we are.
13:56It's not flat, so it's a little more difficult.
13:59If you cross Magome-juku,
14:01it's a mountain.
14:03There is a pass.
14:05Oh, it's over the pass.
14:07If you go to the pass, it's really a mountain road.
14:09Really?
14:11Can you walk?
14:13Tsumago at this time
14:15is not a good strategy.
14:17We gotta charge him.
14:19The salt gave me new life.
14:21Hurry up!
14:23We have to go.
14:27This is pretty cool.
14:33Magome-juku!
14:35Look at this.
14:37Look how beautiful this is.
14:39Dude.
14:45I've never seen anything like it.
14:47I've never seen anything like it.
14:53The bustling city of the Edo period
14:55is still a bustling Shukuba town.
15:01Time slip!
15:05Indeed.
15:09No, I don't.
15:11I would love to learn.
15:13This is a good place.
15:15This is awesome.
15:17Let's eat.
15:19Thank you very much.
15:21Gohei-mochi!
15:23Is that Gohei-mochi?
15:25It's a dango-shaped Gohei-mochi.
15:33Fried rice.
15:39The sauce makes you think it's meaty.
15:41It's almost like a barbecue.
15:45It's like a barbecue sauce.
15:47One more?
15:49Arigatou gozaimasu.
15:51You are my guest.
15:53It's free.
15:57I thought it was a barbecue sauce.
15:59Soy sauce.
16:01Crushed sesame seeds,
16:03peanuts,
16:05and soy sauce.
16:07Soy sauce.
16:09It looks good.
16:11It's a must-try.
16:13I see.
16:17Do you have any recommendations in town?
16:19Burikinton is famous in this area.
16:21That's good.
16:23There is a Japanese sweets shop
16:25called Kawakamiya.
16:27That sounds amazing.
16:29Let's go.
16:31I want you to eat Burikinton.
16:33It's good to collect information little by little
16:35and enjoy it.
16:38Here you go.
16:40Burikinton.
16:46I can't eat Burikinton.
16:50It's like New Year's.
16:52Can I get a picture of you?
16:54Just one bite.
16:56Is this Burikinton?
16:58Japanese traditional sweets.
17:00Does it suit your taste?
17:04Cheers.
17:08Wow.
17:10Doughy.
17:14Sweet chestnut dough.
17:16Wow.
17:18It's like a chestnut cake.
17:20It's so sweet.
17:22Burikinton from Nakatsu River
17:24born in Edo.
17:28Actually,
17:30it's a birthplace.
17:32In America,
17:34I've tried Burikinton
17:36but in America,
17:38I've tried roasted chestnuts.
17:40It's like a Christmas thing.
17:42Sweet and treaty.
17:44This is way better.
17:46Amazing.
17:48I've never eaten this before.
17:50It's amazing.
17:52I can't eat it.
17:54Let's go to Tsumago-juku.
17:58Wow.
18:007 km to Tsumago-juku.
18:04That way.
18:08Tsumago-juku.
18:107 km.
18:127 km.
18:147 km.
18:207 km.
18:26I'm hoping once we get to the top,
18:28it's all down.
18:30It takes about
18:32an hour and a half to get there.
18:36Negi-so.
18:38It's like we're crossing a prefecture line.
18:40Gifu-nagano.
18:46It's getting dark.
18:54Very dark.
18:56But not dark.
19:04Wait.
19:06There's an animal.
19:10You can see the eyes reflecting
19:12in the darkness.
19:18Do you see it?
19:20It's an animal.
19:22Make sure we're good.
19:26No bears.
19:30The tanuki guides the way.
19:44Samurai were tough.
19:46Tough cookies, I hear.
19:48I really do.
19:50Unless you had a horse, I guess.
19:52Except they didn't have
19:54a horse.
19:58Which inn are we staying at?
20:04What is this place?
20:06What is this place?
20:08It's a reservation, right?
20:10Really?
20:12It's cool.
20:24We're actually getting used to it.
20:30Trey was a little scary at night.
20:48A little tired.
20:50I was very close to giving up.
20:54Let's do our best tomorrow, too!
20:58Let's do our best tomorrow, too.
21:24There's a lot of things going on.
21:26A house, a wife, or kids.
21:28You can just drop everything and go to Japan.
21:30You can drop everything and hit the Nakasendo Trail.
21:34They're a single-mindedly duo,
21:36but their journey is full of ups and downs.
21:42We might reach our goal today.
21:44Yeah, I hope so.
21:46Maybe, yeah.
21:48It should be about
21:5020 to 25 kilometers then.
21:52So, all righty.
21:54Is that okay? We're on the path?
22:00Ohayou, Tanuki!
22:02Gardens.
22:06Everyone just goes to Walmart.
22:10I like this better.
22:12I haven't seen a Walmart yet.
22:14Oh, is that a river?
22:16No, it isn't.
22:26This is it.
22:28Sumago?
22:30Sumago.
22:32This is awesome.
22:34Are you kidding?
22:36This is so cool.
22:38It's more traditional.
22:40Oh, yeah.
22:42Awesome.
22:44This is an amazing place.
22:46Samurai Road is attracting attention from all over the world.
22:53It's amazing.
22:54A long time ago, people used to walk here and stay in Chikuwa-machi.
22:59It was supposed to be cloudy.
23:01I'm telling you, we got unbelievably lucky.
23:03The weather was great.
23:05Does Engi mean luck?
23:08We have Engi with us.
23:20Now, is this to drive?
23:37Wow, now I don't.
23:43This is a big oyster.
23:45You can eat this one.
23:47You can eat this one.
23:49You can eat this one.
23:51You can eat this one.
23:53I got an oyster.
23:55Oyster for you.
23:57How is the taste of autumn in Japan?
24:01Oh, my God.
24:03It depends on where you are.
24:05It depends on where you are.
24:07It depends on where you are.
24:09It looks delicious.
24:11It looks delicious.
24:15My beard.
24:17You can't eat it because of your beard.
24:19There's nothing we can do.
24:23Thank you very much.
24:28Having a beard is very difficult.
24:30It was delicious.
24:32What did you choose?
24:34Nothing I've ever tasted before.
24:36I loved it.
24:38Let's wash our hands.
24:40Let's wash our hands.
24:46What did you wash?
24:48Did you lose your glasses?
24:50Did you lose your glasses?
24:52It's a gacha stone.
24:54It's a gacha stone.
24:56It's garbage.
24:58It's garbage.
25:02I can't eat this anymore.
25:08It was a good day that I got an oyster.
25:10It was a good day that I got an oyster.
25:12Let's wash our hands.
25:20What did you wash?
25:22Did you lose your glasses?
25:24Did you lose your glasses?
25:26We lost our sunglasses.
25:28We lost our sunglasses.
25:30I can't take it off.
25:31I can't do it.
25:35It's okay.
25:41Is this it?
25:43Oh, there it is.
25:45Oh, we found it, Kelly.
25:47Did you find it?
25:47No, let me help.
25:49Hurry up and rescue him!
25:51Please let me.
25:53Sure, sure, sure.
25:54Wow.
25:56Okay.
26:00Oh, that's great.
26:03Oh, that's great.
26:06It's good to have a partner.
26:08It's been a good trip.
26:10It's settled then.
26:12Thank you, thank you very much.
26:15Oh, that's great, that's great.
26:18Oh, that's right.
26:19You're good at acting.
26:20I've seen you before.
26:25When did you go to Japan for a month?
26:28My dad collected old things like that.
26:30The movie Spirited Away.
26:40The first time, super confusing.
26:42Once again, turned it right back on.
26:44That was in the days where I had to rewind the VHS.
26:48That movie to Pompoko to...
26:59That's why the goal is at the edge of a raccoon dog.
27:03Oh, the raccoon dog was the goal.
27:10If I could see a raccoon dog, it would be the best.
27:13Lucky, you're good at acting.
27:15I'm good at acting.
27:20This is tiring.
27:23Amazing.
27:25It's amazing.
27:28You look like you're in a good mood.
27:32Are you laughing?
27:34Are you crying?
27:36Battery.
27:37Oh, you're laughing.
27:39Battery could use charging.
27:41Oh, it's here.
27:44If I sit down?
27:45You're at your limit.
27:47Yeah, that's right.
27:49We are not.
27:51We definitely could rain.
27:53It was forecast to rain too.
27:56I see.
27:59And going into the hottest water they can possibly make.
28:04Is the room open?
28:08Oh, I'm surprised.
28:10Are you from Chigaraki?
28:11No, I'm from Himura.
28:13You're good at acting.
28:15The next day
28:25Thank you for your hard work.
28:28Thank you for your hard work.
28:32I'm tired.
28:34I'm exhausted.
28:36If you come here by plane before the trip, you must be exhausted.
28:43It's a nice bath.
28:45It's a nice bath.
28:47Why are you always wearing a hat?
28:49That's right.
28:51Ryu, don't you take off your hat?
28:59So perfect.
29:05I forgot my hat.
29:07Hat cap.
29:09Cap off.
29:11I forgot my hat.
29:13It's so beautiful.
29:19Where is Kitty?
29:21He said he would come down later probably.
29:23He's still eating.
29:26Tomorrow we're going to find that.
29:32Tomorrow we're going to find that.
29:35Let's go.
29:42It's raining.
29:44It's raining.
29:46This is bad.
29:48It's going to be sunny tomorrow.
29:50I want this door.
29:56It's the last day tomorrow.
29:58We have to go.
30:00Let's go.
30:02Let's go.
30:05It's a little warm.
30:07He served me well.
30:15OK.
30:17There.
30:19In between the mountains.
30:21I think we're following the river up.
30:25How many kilometers left?
30:275 kilometers?
30:29It's not raining.
30:31It's not raining.
30:33It's starting to get dark.
30:35It's starting to get dark.
30:37OK.
30:39My friend has good stamina.
30:41It's the last day.
30:43It's the last day.
30:47The clouds have opened.
30:49The sun?
30:51Yes, you're right.
30:53It's a good sign.
30:55It's a good sign.
30:57It says the waterfall up there only appears after it rains.
31:00It's a rare waterfall.
31:02It's a rare waterfall.
31:04The after-rain waterfall.
