  NOTIFICATION SQUAD: I've desperately wanted to film a video in Kyoto for years and I'm delighted to have finally done it! It's currently eerily quiet given the absence of tourists, with the exception of domestic travellers taking advantage of this unusually quiet period. The city is a cinematographer's dream and I look forward to heading back there in the coming months to shoot a couple more videos - if there's anything in particular you want me to film, let me know. Open to your ideas!

  Can we appreciate the cinematography of this video, Chris's videos are almost documentary level in terms of production quality.

  Chris is slowly becoming a real estate agent. Petition to open "Adeal in Japan"

  I feel like a proud parent seeing how far this guy has come. He started out as a chubby guy complaining about the bird outside his window and now he's a legitimate filmmaker with arguably the highest production value of any YouTube channel. Brings a tear to my eye.

  Really sad that the traditional houses are disappearing. The wooden houses and architectures in Japan are very beautiful...

  "Why don't I have one in my house?" Next video: a low-speed police chase thru the streets of Kyoto as Chris tries to steal his Hinoki bathtub in one of those tiny flatbed trucks. :)

  When Chris films at home, it's a casual t-shirt... as soon as he films outside, we're treated to corporate Chris with that wooly long coat...

  Kyoto was my absolute favorite city to visit. There was a teppanyaki restaurant behind the Hyatt Kyoto with a chef by the name of Masta-san. He made the BEST Hiroshima Style Okonomiyaki I've ever had. I really hope he's doing well...

  Makes me so sad that traditional buildings around the world are disappearing... hope people will realise how much character and culture is lost when these buildings go

  This Chris guy from Ryotaro Japan is a pretty good presenter. You can really tell he got his inspiration and style from him.
