00:00:03 John Daub: Good morning everybody. Welcome to Osaka Castle. A beautiful castle. One of the big landmarks in Osaka and the Kansai region, if not Japan. Over here. So today we're going to be exploring Osaka Castle, kind of giving you some history of the grounds and learning about this place. It's not a place that I come to a lot when I'm in Osaka. I gotta be honest with you. We all know it's a reconstruction, so it's not an original like Himeji, which is an hour away by train. But it's still a pretty nice castle and I love the grounds around it. So if you do come to Osaka, you're going to want to explore this. Stay tuned for the next 30 minutes or so as we move around Osaka Castle.

00:00:54 John Daub: This bridge, I believe it's called the Aoi... Oh, here it is. The name's right there. The Gokurakubashi Bridge (Otemon Gokurakubashi Bridge). These bridges are pretty significant because of the history surrounding it. So let's go on to the bridge, walk across to the castle. There's also like a thousand students over there. Check it out. There's a whole line of them. It's cute. You'll see a lot of school kids on trips to learn about the history of the castle. And with their teacher, they're holding hands, wearing their caps to signify which class that they're in. Lots of school trips coming here. Let's cross over. It's a really beautiful day here in Osaka.

00:01:47 John Daub: Now this castle is quite often mistakenly accounted for as the place where Sean Connery came to film the James Bond movie, You Only Live Twice. Not true. That was filmed at Himeji Castle. So Wikipedia and several other internet sources are wrong. Back in the 1950s and 60s, this was being redone because it's been destroyed several times in history. But at the top of it, I'll give you some of that history. In the autumn, it's beautiful when the leaves change color. Alright, we're walking this way. The bridge may have a nickname. I was hoping that Kevin would join me for this livestream. And Kanae's friend used to work at the castle and she was maybe going to join me this morning but couldn't because she has another job meeting to attend to. So you're stuck with me. I know more than most, but less than many. But that shouldn't stop us from having a good time.

00:03:09 John Daub: A lot of tourists here. But I'd say in about two weeks, it's really gonna come to life. Like the colors of it are gonna explode. This tree is so close to just changing to yellow and red. And walking around the castle grounds is free. One of the best parts of Osaka Castle. And there's a couple of snack places to get some food up on the top. Mr. Doss is in the house. Is it true the air is so cold? The air is super dry in the morning. It was super dry last night. The livestream with Kevin and I walking around Tenjinbashi-suji (Tenma's shotengai, covered shopping arcade) was amazing. It's 90 minutes of pure entertainment as we completely just go straight and eat several takoyaki, okonomiyaki, beer, taiyaki, and whatever we can find.

00:04:13 John Daub: Alright, this is an incline. Show you the view. I'll show you how out of shape. It is a super dry morning though. The one downside to winter, besides the cold, is the air is very dry. So bring your best moisturizer with you. Now this castle is a reconstruction. Unlike Himeji, down the road about an hour on the Shinkansen (bullet train) towards Okayama and Hiroshima. Himeji is worth a stop. Because it's just an extraordinary castle. You can see already on this side, the elevator. Which makes it accessible for all. And that was built in, I believe the 1980s. They did a reconstruction in 1995. And when I came here in 1998, the castle was so beautiful and so beautifully painted white. So bright in 1998. It was really spectacular. But now... The biggest problem with Osaka Castle... The downside is that it's made out of concrete.

00:06:11 John Daub: This castle is a concrete recreation. That might make people not want to come or go inside of it. Because how much of it is original? Almost nothing. The history of it is very interesting. I'm gonna just get right here to the point where we can look back at the castle. You can see there's already a ton of tourists coming. And it's gonna get even more crowded as the day goes on. Wow, look at all the students already lining up. It's gonna be a busy, warm day.

00:06:42 John Daub: Alright, let's go over the history. Are you ready for this? This castle was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1583. It took 14 years to complete, in 1597. And guess what? He died a year later. In 1600, Japanese history changed once again. So the castle was only three years before it started to see some battles. In 1600, Tokugawa Ieyasu won the Battle of Sekigahara, which united the country under his shogunate. And of course he wanted Osaka Castle. So he invaded with 200,000 soldiers. And he filled in the moats. But they were outnumbered 2 to 1. They gave a pretty good fight. I believe they kept the castle. However, Tokugawa had filled in the moats. And when he heard that they dug it out and refilled it again, that really ticked off the shogun. So he came back and he just completely took it over. So the castle was his. So the early 17th century was very, very busy for this castle.

00:08:14 John Daub: And then it had regular history. Then it was hit by lightning, of course. Twice. The first time it hit some gunpowder. And it pretty much destroyed everything. It was hit again a couple of decades later by lightning. Burned it down. Not a lot of luck for this really beautiful castle. Then in 1945, World War II came. And this was the place where the Japanese army was based. A lot of the stuff was here. So the castle unfortunately got bombed. I believe 90% of it was destroyed. And then they rebuilt it again in the 50s into concrete. I guess it's harder to destroy now, huh? And then it was renovated again in 1995. And that's really the beautiful castle that we've got today. Right there. You can go in. I've never been in. I don't think Kevin has been in. But it's really nice to walk around the gardens. And that's sort of the purpose of today.

00:09:25 John Daub: What I'm gonna show you right now is something that you cannot show anybody else. Well, I'm just saying that to make it sound even cooler. This is the castle in 1950 being reconstructed. And you can see that's basically everything. Right? That's basically everything was destroyed. So, the whole thing from the ground up was recreated. This is nearing completion here. And it was like 1964. Because it was such a big deal to have it recreated. Of course, Godzilla came and destroyed it again. With more than one character. This looks like Mothra, maybe. And this is King Kong. They really did a number on it. Don't worry. It's still there.

00:10:27 John Daub: This is a complete model. You might want to check this out, though. It's a... I don't know which Godzilla movie it is. They did so many in the 1960s and 70s. But, it's really cool. It does look very, very similar. If not exactly the same. Godzilla really... When your building was torn down by Godzilla, tourism went up. And that's all I got for you. I can watch this a thousand times. Look at Godzilla... I don't know if he could smile. But, I believe that there's some pleasure in his eyes. One swipe. Just like a sumo wrestler. One swipe. Destroyed. I love it. I love animated gifs. The history of this castle is pretty long. And it's pretty varied. And it's pretty exciting. I like the history of everything. When you learn the history of something, it really makes it come to life. And if you're ever going to be a tourist, you have to learn the history of it. It's just... Life is better with a little bit of history.

00:11:30 John Daub: I'm going to walk around the grounds now. But before we do that, let's go and investigate exactly how much does it cost to get in. And why would anybody want to go in there? What is in there? What is in a reconstructed castle? A lot of the history is gone. I mean, it was destroyed or burnt down. So, what's inside? Whoa, the tourists are really starting to make their way in. My recommendation, come here at 8:55 and then enter as soon as they say enter. I mean, you can go in right here. And this is where you can get really nice views from the top. But it's hard to do when there's a thousand tourists up there too. And people don't seem to leave right away. They'll stay up there for an hour.

00:13:25 John Daub: And now let's see how much it costs because this part is not free and of course they have a vending machine to get the tickets. Of course they do. So let's go do that. It's not too bad. This is the closest I've ever gotten to the castle. It's 600 yen or about $6, $5.50 depending exchange rates. Kids might be a little bit cheaper. You can get the vending machines here which people are doing. Wow, these are pretty interactive vending machines. If you don't want to use the ticket machine you can go to the window. Left luggage for 100 yen. This is really important stuff. It's eight stories. I did not know that. This is like information. They call it a museum. Eight stories and the top is the observation deck in a museum shop. A lot of them are galleries I think that show the history of Osaka, a little bit of the history of the area, the history of the castle. And any you'll see a lot of relics displayed. What sets it apart from other castles is that it has an elevator which is important for people with disabilities to get in.

00:15:12 John Daub: You can go in if you want to. I'm not going to go in there. I'm going to say that for you. This is a reason for you to go in to complete the mission yourself. You got to go in and buy a ticket, 600 yen. I know what a fine ticket is but I'm not going to go in there. I'm going to say that you can do it. But people with disabilities are going to go in. Well it's very exciting just like the other people that I've been in for some time but I don't know. I'll see it soon. The city of Osaka is starting to get a little more serious. I've been there in the past since I've been in Japan and around the world. There's a lot of culture and you're going to see it from a bunch of different angles as I walk around for the next, I don't know, 20 minutes. Basically, that means an hour. Alright, let's go. I'm glad we got that out of the way, all the history and tourist stuff.

00:16:20 John Daub: Let's go find a vending machine. Interesting. In the summer, the grounds around here are filled with shops, ice cream and things like that. Nothing right now. I find that curious. I don't need a selfie with me in the castle anymore. I think I got a dozen of them. This is one of the best places to look back. Here come the school tours. If you're a local kid, you have to come to the castle to see the history of the place. You have to learn about your own history and you could do that by the castle. Everyone's looking at this tree. Alright, over here, check this out. It's free. You can pose as a samurai with armor. How cool is that? What do you guys think watching? Would you do this?

00:17:26 John Daub: Hello, welcome to Osaka Castle. Let me explain the system. First, we will take one photo with our camera. After, we will take the photo by your camera. If you like the photo, you can buy it. No pressure. That is a pretty nice system. So that means that people are always here. Wow, that's pretty cool. He's got like antlers. That's an awesome helmet. Do you see that? If he was a deer and you gave him a snack, he would bow. But look at the teeth on him. I don't think this guy would bow. This guy's hardcore. Look at his teeth. You could open a beer bottle on those. No disrespect. That's a compliment, sir. I love the purple T-shirt and shorts make him a warrior. It's awesome. But they have different costumes that you can wear. I think this would be a pretty cool keepsake if you're coming to visit. Am I gonna do it? No. No, maybe. I don't know. Should I do it?

00:19:06 John Daub: Alright, let's just do it. Oh, alright, I'll do it. You guys are making me... I didn't want to do it. But I'll do it. You know I'm going to do it, right? Because she called him a samurai. Does that make him a samurai? Alright, the photos are 2,000 yen. I can't do that pose. Alright, Timothy, I'll do it. But they're going to make me wait for the photo. I don't want to do it. Do I have to do it? Alright, I think I'll do it. I'm waiting in line. I think I've decided. Hello. Look at that. Osaka is famous for having merchants or businessmen. And you have to credit them. They come up with a unique idea. Through kindness and love, you'll pay 1,300 yen for the picture. I believe you can get one for 1,300 yen. 2,000 yen is their package. I'll get one.

00:21:22 John Daub: Shall I ride? No, no, no. Good. Oh. Oh, thank you. Oh, hello. Can I take a picture? Please take only him. You can't take yourself. Oh, I can't. So, you're finished with the photos? Is it a good photo? Yeah. Oh no, it's okay. I got it here. I got one. Can you use the basket please? This is actually live streaming to about a thousand people right now. What's up? Oh yeah, I'm a YouTuber. Oh, really? Let's follow. Yay! Do you want to take that down there? Oh yeah. Should I put that under my armor? No, no, no. Oh, over the armor.

00:23:54 John Daub: So... What did you say? Please say. Ha! Ha! It makes your video more funny. Yeah. Welcome back everybody. Alright. Now, here you go. Here's Stephanie's camera. And your face and look at me. Ready? One, two, three. Say, ha! Thank you. Thank you very much. Do you have, um... Oh yeah, I got this one. It's okay, I'll buy, I'll buy a photo. Thank you. I'm a samurai. Yeah, thank you very much. Thank you. Okay. Can I remove your... Oh, you're taking my helmet! Oh! Thank you very much. That was fun. Yeah, thank you. You're welcome. Welcome. The armor so heavy. That's so heavy. It's like I got hair. What are you talking about? Really that was fast. Wow. Whoa this is hardcore. Alright we'll better buy all three pieces that seems like a good deal. It's a good memory. Yeah. Oh did you have a ryoshusho (receipt)? I need for business purposes. Samurai also must keep account of the accounting. Oh yeah uh sorry just best price. Yeah oh which one two pieces uh these two pieces okay. Best price. Let's go for the one in the middle. You gotta do it. You have to do it.

00:26:44 John Daub: I feel like re-energized. There's something in wearing armor makes you man. I need Mr. Doss. I need something dry. It's gonna get really hot during the day as well. So I can write it for you. Do you have a... Yeah. Tonight I'm getting an official receipt. She's very specific on these things. Cobra bee bop thank you good job appreciate it. That's very fun. I think you have to do stuff like this. This makes your trip so much fun. Look at those. Looks like they're fly. Thank you for being today. I hope you liked this one. Thank you for joining us. Have a nice day. You too good luck. How fun was that? Alright we're going to look at the pictures in a second. It um let's keep a move on. We had a signal droppage that was interesting. Because I didn't expect that. I thought we'd have a very strong signal. Now we got samurai photos. I did not expect that. Ah you wake up in the morning you don't know what's going to happen. That's the beauty of traveling.

00:28:29 John Daub: This is the restrooms. It's very crowded on the women's side. Alright let's get out of here. A lot of people already and people are sweating in November. It's gonna be a hot one. I woke up this morning and it was pretty cool outside. There's one really big rule here that you cannot do. I know a lot of people are asking for do's and don'ts of Japan. There's one rule here I'm going to show you that right there. Japan everywhere is doing it and this includes the new Mavic Mini. You cannot fly a drone around here just because nobody wants things flying around when they write signs like this that say no drone zone and things like this. You have to follow the rules no matter how big it or how small or how light it is. Does not matter. They don't want any drones and this includes all tourist destinations. They don't want anything buzzing around especially if there's a lot of people here. It's just no one here that'd be different. But there are so don't do it anytime there's a crowd or a festival or a group. It's also against the law. It's written in the law. Doesn't matter how big the sign is. It's the general usage. It doesn't have to do with the FAA. It has to do with public safety.

00:30:10 John Daub: Godzilla has destroyed this castle many times and now I've taken it down with the sword. The daimyo has gone down by my hand. Sorry sir. Alright in one gate out the other. You can see this part of the moat remains dry or is it? I don't know what's down there. You don't want to go down the moat. You might discover something you didn't want. Lots of kids coming in right now. They flow like water. You have to go down the moat to hold hands stay together. Last thing a teacher wants is a lost child. We're having fun. We're having fun.

00:31:30 John Daub: Alright so let's round it out. Osaka main tower so the signs will guide you. I came in through Temmabashi Station which is about a 15 minute walk to get here. Uh it's probably gonna take you about 15 minutes from the subway station. The closest subway station uh from this direction is Morinomiya. You can see right in the side of your screen. And I came Temmabashi station which is the Keihan railway. I'll probably go back with that. Temmabashi station is this way as well and that was how I came from my hotel near Osaka station. Came with Keihan. Interesting look at this over here. There seems to be a shrine. Let's go check it out. You know walk with me towards Temmabashi station and I'll show you a little bit of that side of the city. There's people now want to see the samurai photo. I know you do. So we're gonna do that. This is look just gonna take a peek into here. Whoa is that Toyotomi Hideyoshi the guy who built this castle? Let's go take a look at him. He looks very old but wise. It's very old and wise. Yeah it's him. That's the founder of Osaka Castle. Here from 1583 he started construction and he didn't last but a year after its completion and he is immortalized in the statue above. Thank you sir for building this beautiful castle. We appreciate your hard work and your dedication.

00:34:05 John Daub: We're not that far away from Kansai Airport is about I don't know like 40 minutes away by the train. And then Itami Airport which is on the other side of the city closer towards Kobe. I believe I've never left from Itami. Itami is Osaka's Haneda and Kansai or KIX Kansai International Airport KIX is the code that is their Narita Airport on a man-made island out in the sea a little bit. And uh my first airport into Japan in 1988 was Kansai. I did not come in through Narita. Came into Kansai. Ichiban Moose and tasty Chronicles little something to pay up the cost of the samurai photos. I'll taste. You did not have to do that. I'm gonna put that was so kind of you. I'm gonna put that into our Daimyo Discord. Okay I'll put some copies into the Daimyo Discord for you. It's kind of funny when you do something you go all out. That's what makes it beautiful.

00:35:20 John Daub: Alright let's walk around the corner. I'll pull the photos out for another look see. I've already forgotten what it looks like. So this is the outer moat and this is where um Tokugawa's army was here probably shouting and taunting the daimyo inside. 200,000 samurai were here. That's a lot. Ieyasu did not mess around in war. The dude won. He conquered. He didn't mess around and he was very skilled at the art of war. I've had the pleasure and privilege to meet with the 15th generation of the Tokugawa family um in Mito. He actually the Tokugawa family is quite large but he's very very nice guy uh and he has a museum a Tokugawa museum. Jennifer and I went to in a live stream about two years ago in Mito which is in Ibaraki prefecture not that far from Tokyo. And you can go and see the sword that Tokugawa Ieyasu used in the Battle of Sekigahara. There's the castle. It looks so far away now. Looks really far away. I got a photo with him too with uh Tokugawa-san. I gotta meet him again. It's been ages. Super nice guy. Speaks English. I believe he studied in California. 15th generation of the Shogun. It's awesome. And his wife is so nice too. He after the live stream he bought Jennifer and I unagi and we ate it in his garden. He had the own unagi shop. Shot the president came and delivered it to us in the tea house in his garden in his private Tokugawa garden. It's just awesome. I didn't live stream it because I didn't have permission. I don't know we started to but then we stopped. So there's like a private live stream feed on Only in Japan Go somewhere.

00:38:12 John Daub: This is a garden um that is on the side of the castle and I don't have much intention to go in. But the Osaka Castle main tower cannot be reached from here. It's very clear and this is the entrance to the garden. I believe you have to get a ticket to get in here. Yeah you have to buy a ticket and it's 200 yen. It's not a lot but I'm not sure. It's not crowded. I'm calling you John Masamune from now on. And also for a brew there's actually a Lawson's Gate which is like a makeshift convenience store. Why don't we just stop there to end the livestream then. Um hold on a second I want to check the map and see if this goes through because if it doesn't I don't want to go in and get lost. I have my Google map on my other phone. With the Godzilla destroying it let's take a look at Godzilla destroying this castle again just because it was so pleasing. I have all my destruction photos. Here it is. It's just so pleasing to me. Do it again one more time. Yeah oh it's so nice. Alright let's go to Google Maps. Oh I didn't cache the map. You don't have to be to use Google Maps if you cache the maps it'll come up but I didn't cache it. I have no signal so oh that's too bad. Alright I'm not going in. I'm not sure if it goes through. I'm getting lost for you so you don't get lost.

00:40:02 John Daub: So you are here and I want to go to the other gate. Alright let's keep going around. That's what we're here for the grounds around the castle and we have to find Mr. Doss that Lawson's to get something to drink. You know it's like not even 11 a.m. right Mr. Doss you know that. It was super. I'll get something but I'll tell you what. Oh look at the little kids with the pink hats. How cute is that? I will get something to drink but I'm planning to meet Kevin this afternoon again at around 3:30 which is like 1:30 a.m. for New Yorkers and uh I don't know like 10 p.m. maybe 11 p.m. in California. So yeah Kevin and I have to get a beer because I'm leaving to go back to Tokyo. I've come here to film in Only Japan main Channel episode. Wow look at this gate. There are a lot of vending machines so I can hit one of those. It's gonna be so beautiful here in two weeks or less. The picture in the thumbnail is really nice. It's from a neighboring building. And if you look at the castle from a distance from elevation you get a beautiful shot of the skyscrapers around it which is one of the main attractions as a photograph of Osaka Castle. Not the place that we took it from right near the grounds that's not bad either but from these right there these taller buildings and if you look back at it with the backdrop of the city it's really nice. You can get a bento and eat lunch on the wall here. See they're taking pictures but it's nice. It's also a great place if you're staying in Osaka to run around. A lot of runners come here in the morning.

00:42:27 John Daub: Hello nice to meet you too. Oh yeah you're live right now. Sorry sorry you got me. I'm David where are you from David? Jakarta.

00:47:03 John Daub: Let's make our way now to Temmabashi station. You're coming with me. I'm not abandoning you don't abandon me here. Uh you inspired me to go to Japan got back recently Shane that's great thank you from Canada I hope you had a good trip you had a good trip. So many places to visit there's a lot of places I haven't been to either. In the next six I think I'm going to start to hit more of the countryside. And I was talking with my friend Greg from Life Where I'm From, and we're thinking of doing a collaboration together where we kind of cover the same theme and release it on the same day. I really love Greg. He's such a nice guy. We both have a passion for the videos that we make and attention to detail and wanting to get the perfect and just right and not waste your time. His are more documentary style. Mine is, I don't know. I try to add some of me and fun into it. But he's got his own style, and I like that. Every YouTube creator, we can cover the same topics, but we just all have to have a unique way of doing it. And that's what makes this genre, what I'm doing, pretty unique. There's a thousand stories and a thousand ways to tell each story.

00:48:19 John Daub: Oh, the gimbal's gone walkabout. The gimbal went walkabout. The gimbal did that on its own. It's starting to malfunction. This is the DJI Osmo 3. Mr. Doss, you know I always appreciate it. There's a mini makeshift Lawson's there. Do you see that? That's crazy. Alright, I got to restart the gimbal. It's going walkabout. Gimbal, it's been cursed. Alright, I can't even take it in there. Gimbal's been cursed. Alright, let's do this quickly. Alright, we got to go in there and get a drink. Actually, the vending machine looks better stocked than inside. Alright, the vending machine is better stocked, Mr. Doss. So I got to go handheld. She's going crazy. Gimbal! Off. Take a break. Let's see what we can get here. I got so many coins. I can hear the crows all around me. I'm afraid they're going to attack too. They see me as a samurai now. They're not giving me an inch.

00:50:29 John Daub: The stabilization. They made a good salty lychee drink a couple of years ago that I remember. It's nice and warm. It's hot. So it's a hot corn soup. So that's hot and cold. There you go. Alright, everybody, it's been a fun time walking around the castle grounds we started from one gate and we ended at another. Suzanne, thank you. Thank you. Hot cheese corn soup. That's good. That's really good. There are reports of some choppy signals. Let me get... How is it now? I've moved away. I'm now moving away from my wallet. This, everybody, is very, very good. Hold on a second. I could try to... I tried to restart the stream a little bit. But this is really good. This is called a corn potage. And it's got cheese and corn inside of it. It's really good. It's 130 yen. It tastes filling. It's got chunks of corn in there. You can find some really interesting stuff in vending machines. And quite often, it's hot in the winter. Starting November 1st, most of the vending machines will get hot and cold drinks.

00:52:49 John Daub: Andrew writes in here, got another trip in February there. So, ready for that? I'm off the gimbal, guys. I've gone commando. Alright, wallet. You're coming back with me. Any other country, I might have been worried. Gimbal is... Dear DJI, you don't make them like you used to anymore. Kind of malfunctioned. Alright, back in the bag. So, there you go. There's a nice tour of Osaka Castle, which is represented here in this Coca-Cola can. A limited edition Osaka Castle. David Kimura. I'm going to use that for snacks, but I'm also going to pick up something nice for Kanae on the way home. You guys take care of me, so I'm going to take care of you. I'm going to add another live stream to today for you guys. I'm going to meet... I'm planning to meet Kevin around 3:30, 4 o'clock in Osaka. It's going to be kind of late for our friends in the U.S., but I'm going to do one more. So, we're going to put that to some good use. And I'm going to... Kevin a beer if he will partake at near Osaka station and we're gonna talk about the trains of Osaka and how to get around Osaka. I know Tokyo very very well but I don't know Osaka too well so we're gonna ask the master himself and see what he has to say on getting around to Kyoto to Nara to Himeji to Wakayama to this area to Noto and maybe we'll learn something I know we will from the master himself because I want to tap that brain of his and get some great ideas. So thank you from Osaka Castle right now it's just the Lawson's. I'm off the gimbal but in the distance you can see Osaka Castle behind that tree. It's there trust me it's there. Have a good day have a good night everybody thank you so much. I see the emoji a ASC 91 Arigato gozaimasu thank you thank you very much. Arigato gozaimasu and I will see you in a few hours on the other side of this afternoon this is still a.m. Bye bye.
