00:03 John Daub: Nice to meet you. Welcome to Ino-chō. My name is Ryoma Morishita. I'm here to guide John in the style of Ryoma. On the other side of this device, a personal robot called Nin Nin is Paul who is going to be helping me with the translation. Paul, can you hear me? Pretty good. I'm looking forward to this tour. I hope everybody who is watching can also hear Paul on the other side. Can you tell us a little bit about Nin Nin and I'll fill in the gaps if anybody can't hear you?

01:41 John Daub: I'm super excited about this robot because in Japan, robots are things that help human beings. It may be a little bit scary in the West. Robots are things that take jobs away. But here in Japan, with an aging and declining population, they really fill in the gaps. I think that this is really going to be a lot of fun because if you're visiting Japan, now you have a little buddy here. You can go into shops and not have to worry about having to understand Japanese or use translate apps. We're going to try this out with an actual person. Let's see. Now, let's go inside.

02:13 John Daub: And there's a little bit of space here in the bend and the other side of it. This is pretty cool. And I'm doubly happy because we've got Morishita-san, who's here. And there's a team of engineers over there, which are going to be following us. I told them, the camera is going to show you do not try to escape. You cannot. Let's go.

02:33 John Daub: You speak English! You can speak English! A little. A little bit. We're in Ino Town in Kochi Prefecture. It's a small little town that's very famous for its paper industry. And I've always wanted to come here. This is my first time here. I'm really happy for this tour.

03:18 John Daub: Paul? So, maybe some of your viewers know, but in Japan, there's a service where you go to cafes and get a bunch of food. All day breakfast. This is like my paradise. I love breakfast. Yeah, this is a supermarket, right? Supermarket. This is the Demon Slayer, I believe. It's an anime series as well as a manga. It's very popular here in Japan.

04:49 John Daub: What material is this made of? This is cardboard? Cardboard. In Japanese, it's called danbōru (cardboard). Seika-san brings a lot of stuff in boxes, and there's a lot of cardboard left, so he uses it to make things like this. His husband makes it as a hobby. Paul? There are other things, so let's take a look.

05:31 John Daub: I'm going to go with the wide lens here. Konnichiwa. Hello. Hello. Wow. Who is this? Nana Komatsu. She's an actress. Oh, an actress. She's a Japanese actress. And made out of cardboard. Sorry, Paul? No. Maybe I do. It looks very familiar. I don't know too many Japanese actresses here. Wow. Wow, that's Totoro. That's Totoro. Eh? Is this a supermarket or a museum? Supermarket. It's a supermarket first. It just happens to have these items in here.

06:21 John Daub: Oh, this is really cool. I like how, I guess, you know, again, like a lot of places around Japan in the countryside, the population's declining. So there aren't that many items. There's a lot of vegetables here. Really fresh stuff. But you can see what makes this supermarket special is that they've got these cardboard items here. Oh, Ino Town is awesome. I think so too.

06:53 John Daub: So what is this robot called? Paul, can you translate? What character is this? Gundam. Gundam. It's a Gundam character mobile suit. Down here is the actual figure. So he made it from this model. This is 12 times, right Paul? Yeah, 12 times the size. Wow, and it's 8x12. This is made out of cardboard. It's made out of cardboard. It's made out of cardboard from the vegetables, right? Yeah, that's awesome. This is also a Gundam. I see.

07:59 John Daub: Wow, check this one out. This is incredible. Paul, can you translate? What is this? How long did it take to make? It took about 4 months to make the spaceship Yamato. Look at the details on this. Do you guys see this? Star Blazers, I think so. Pirate ship Yamato. Look at it. The guns on there. The ones in the front here. Do you see that? This is all again made out of cardboard for vegetables that came in here. Wow. Is this a hobby? It's a hobby. It's called shumi (hobby), right? Yeah.

09:05 John Daub: This is so cool, Paul. You're having a conversation with the shop owner in Kochi on video in live time while seeing this too. This is so cool. Yeah. Arigatou gozaimasu. As you can see, that is so cool. Also, look at that. Oh look at this, this is a Gomi Bako I believe. Look at this trash can. That's a character from Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (Spirited Away). Oh yeah, I got that one right. Nice idea. Yeah, he's a genius. Thank you very much.

10:10 John Daub: Alright, Paul. So Ino Town is super famous for paper making, most famous for white paper making, but the people in the town, they kind of... I see some art right there, so that Christmas tree, that's also I think made from paper, right? Yeah. So part of the Ino Town's history is the paper making, not just washi (Japanese paper), all kinds of paper I believe. It's not just washi, but paper making, right? Yeah. I see a lot of really small local businesses too. These are all family run businesses. It's quite quiet, even though it's a Monday. Yeah, I guess just the population is kind of low here. But I love that. I love that though, because there's so much charm to it. It seems so retro.

11:22 John Daub: Konnichiwa. Konnichiwa. Wow, look at this old buildings here. Oh, that's a blue Christmas tree, Doraemon. Well, that color anyways. This is a clothing store from Taishō Jidai (Taisho Era). Right, and he's saying this building is from Taishō Jidai. There's some cars coming, so I want to move back a little bit. Taishō Jidai is the era from 1912 to 1926. So I guess around 1915, this shop was in existence, I believe. But we're going to ask the owner. Can I come in? Yes, please. Hello, good afternoon.

12:13 Nakajima-san: I'm Nakajima-san, the owner of this shop. Hello. This is Taishō Jidai, right? Yes, that's right. What kind of activities are you doing right now? I'm repairing kimonos, making kimonos. Yes, I'm making kimonos. I'm trying to remake them.

12:46 John Daub: Paul? So this kimono shop, these things, mothers or mothers can hand down to their daughters to keep them being used. That's kind of what they do most of their work in these days. That's fascinating. Oh, amazing. Thank you very much. What time is it today? It's 5pm. Oh, okay. They're open until 5pm. So if you come here, you can get a kimono. You guys can still make it? You can still make it. And if you order a kimono, it'll take you about a month to make one. Thank you very much. It'll take about a month to make it here. But you can order it here and he will make it for you with the really nice silk that they have in the shop. That was really interesting.

13:50 John Daub: This house here was taken in 1907 when Emperor Shōwa was the crown prince [?]. The owner of this house is afraid to use the same entrance as the Emperor, so he made a new entrance and there are two entrances. Oh, Paul. Paul. Yes, yes. That's right. For the Crown Prince to use. That's crazy. So the reason that this house has two entrances is because the Emperor visited here. Which one was for the Emperor? This one. So the Emperor used this entrance to the door and the residents used this entrance. No one uses this? Only. We use this one. Wow. That's really interesting. So apparently they don't use this door anymore. It's not even used now? That's right. It's not even used now. They don't use this one anymore. Yeah, they don't use the door. It's cool. Well, only at that time, right? Yes, only at this time. So the Shōwa... Apparently this was in the Taishō Era. I know a little bit of the history of it. This was in the Taishō Era where Emperor Shōwa came and they haven't used the door since. At the beginning of Meiji. That's crazy! But there it is! Oh my gosh. Ceremonial door. So if the Emperor comes back, we'll use it. If the Emperor comes back, we'll use it. They'll use this again if the Emperor does return.

16:22 John Daub: And you're gonna have some extra cost. That's right. So what do you guys think of this robot? This is kind of the first time we're using it. The signal is going in and out a little bit. But this is really useful to have somebody else on the other side as my ears and eyes. And I guess you can also see how with this camera here, this can actually help with people with sensory impairments. Like visual again, speech impairments. You have somebody who can speak for you. And speak to you. And this is kind of, it kind of makes me also feel like I have a friend. Right, Paul? Here? Paw? Paw is there. Awesome. Does it bother your shoulder? Not really. Yeah. You know, it doesn't, there's a battery pack. I wear a bag across my body all the time anyways. So I don't feel that there's anything special about it. But it doesn't really cut into my back or into my shoulder. It weighs very little. It's very light. So I think that that has, that's a really big positive to it. But this sash that I have here. In the back of it, there is a battery pack in here that will power the robot. Of course, it needs a power source. And also to collect the signal because Paul is in a remote location now and getting it.

17:45 John Daub: What is this building here? A library. Oh. Wait. Hold on. This doesn't look like a library. This looks like a warehouse. It's a warehouse. It's built with modern materials. Oh. So we heard a loud ping. You're still there, right? Right. So if you couldn't hear right now, Paul just told me that this is a traditional warehouse. And they keep the town's history, culture. They renovated it and then turned it into a toshokan (library). Well, that's cool. So it's a public building now. I just love walking the old towns too. This is just a really great feeling. We could not have asked for a better day. When you look at the weather up there, sunny, warm for December. Is it always this warm here? No, this year is very, very warm. Usually it's colder. It's a little strange. Yeah, it's a little strange. As far as December is concerned. This is rare to have such a warm day in Kochi, which makes me really happy that we caught it. We got lucky.

19:20 John Daub: In the past, there were more shops and we could go there. But now it's more of an old town. So it's hard to find a place to stay. And it's also hard to find a place to stay. We've all gone abroad to work. And the population in Kochi is decreasing. Yeah. It's sad. But we're really happy that you came to see us. Yeah. You there, Paul? Sorry, I'm not available today. I'll explain a little bit. Okay. So the population of Kochi is decreasing, especially here in Ino Town. And you can see it's just really quiet as a result of it. There are some akiya (abandoned houses). And they're finding ways to renovate it and to turn them in. But you can see there's some new buildings here. And as we walk, the architecture will change a little bit. And that's another fascinating thing you'll see when you walk through these old towns. Some of them have been renovated. Some of them keep them as they are. And it's just up to the families to do something with it.

20:21 John Daub: Like this building. What is this? It's a god. It's not a god. But it's an art made of a god. Oh. So this is made from... It's not wax? It's called a paper doll [?]. Again, Ino is a paper town. So they make these out of the paper from the town. That's really cool because in our society today, we're using more digital stuff. You don't really use paper that much, do you? Gradually. Yeah. And this is paper that doesn't melt even when you put it in water. Can you see it here? It's called a paper doll [?]. A paper doll is a place where you can take a bath. But Ino-chō is a place where you can swim in the water. Thank you. All right. Let's keep going up.

21:22 John Daub: So as we're walking through the town here, we're going to check and see what else we can find. I know that we're coming up to a shrine because we saw the map here. That's really interesting. This one looks really old. Yeah. It's called a... Oh, OK. What does this color mean? Is there a meaning to the colors here? Oh, we got a car coming here. Oh, interesting. Oh, OK. Okay, so that's just the wall and they made it into looking like it is a quite an old object. That's really interesting. It does fit into the town's motif. But again, I'm seeing more differences in the architecture. You can see there's some old buildings and brand new buildings. Look at this. That one looks like it's very new in the center of the screen, almost doesn't fit into the escape of what it is. You know, it's I guess it's like stucco or like a plaster. This is an old building. Yeah, it's from the Edo period. Yeah, this wall here. It looks like it's new but it's actually going all the way back to the Edo period which is you know like 19th century. Which is which is pretty incredible. I love that because Japan is such an old country. It's got such a long history.

23:32 John Daub: You see that not a lot because many of the buildings like kura (warehouses) that are mono or cut that is your name. I think hold on the key this high. Yeah, then we'll call it a kura is it the car has to wait. We're here. You can see also the base of it is also very interesting made out of rock and stone. Yeah. So that all has a really strong foundation. You don't see that a lot in Japan just mostly in the warehouses that has some value here. So we're gonna walk really slowly this way as the team checks the battery pack and everything we're doing okay here. You know, turn the Jinko an undisclosed. Handling right, it's gonna about 20 20. 23,000 people right now. Go do you know my one under 50? Oh, man. I could have it that I tell him. He could have sure each one max to eat a turkey. Wow. Sam manning great. Okay, I saw I'm gonna hit. It right here. That's a good thing. Right here. Good. I need it. So the most of people that were here in Ino were actually about 30,000 people. So now it's only decreased 7,000 people which is not too big of a decrease here Paul. Are you back? I didn't you left me we handled that well. Thanks for thanks for being back we heard the peep there I know a lot of you heard the peep there you guys knew what was going on. I kind of held down the fort here for a second, but we're remarking about some of the architecture here. We saw some buildings from the Edo period and now we're cutting through here.

24:57 John Daub: Oh, this is the river. Oh. Is this the Niyodo River [?]? No no no no I you a guy what do you must stay much? You know kawa nagare (river flow) carなんです. Da a money name omittedするほど. Kirei de la naku kami no machi no chōno. Funoi santo stay you still high eki gane nagarete shimano de chotto kawaii over the shimato. Right, but it's still clean right sort of it's natural. All right, it must be because the Niyodo River is so clean. Gotta be. Okay,なんですけど so thisよね wow. Come in kawa kai do stay nagarema kiss togo. Yeah, you don't see a lot of wood-burning stoves in Tokyo, I'm actually none. And I can see that's really cool. It's Kochi. Can is very cold. It's okay. It's very very cold and Kochi in the winter. So it's good to have one and there's a lot of wood here. You can see we're surrounded by forest. And let's supply. Yeah, 90% of Kochi Prefecture trees. That's pretty incredible.

27:08 John Daub: Oh, oh, yeah, look at that wait, there's a there's a birdie. Hanashiguma [?]. Oh. Sorry, hanashirigoma [?]. That was like a cockatoo. Um, cockatiel? I can't remember. Oh yeah that is... Ah one kilogram. Wow. Wow cool. Oh thank you. Yeah I feel very safe. Oh here's another old building. Oh beautiful. So this street is called Shōgayaki Street? I can see the sign here. Paul what is Shōgayaki? Shōgayaki Street. Interesting. Oh so Shōgayaki (grilled ginger pork) is famous from this region. That's kind of good information to know. So now I know what to eat if I go into one of these restaurants here and I'm smelling it right now. So it's got to be around here. It smells like Shōgayaki. This is a restaurant that you can eat Shōgayaki at. Oh this is a Shōgayaki restaurant. Oh my gosh. You don't understand how good it smells right now. This is called... Ah Kawaii! Frypan. The name of this restaurant is Frypan. That's so cute. And you can see they're selling some cooking ware here. Okay let's go inside here for a little bit. Excuse me. Excuse me.

29:49 John Daub: Oh they're making bento right now. Yes. Wow that's a very old looking building. It smells like my grandmother's house. Here. This is the kind of restaurant that I'm always trying to look for because you know not only is the food going to be good because obviously they've been in operation and cooking for generations but it's got this atmosphere like you are obviously in a completely different era. Wow Mr. Morishita is doing a good job. This is where we eat our lunch. He eats here. Paul does he eat here right? Yes. Oh look at that it's so nice they're on table here. Japanese chabudai (low dining table). Wait. This is... This is a sheet cover. Did I hear that right Paul? That's genius. This is a lot of recycling happening in Ino. Yeah look at that. That's beautiful. I know that the indigo is very famous here in Shikoku. So that's kind of a... Probably homemade jeans. Oh yeah I'll be coming back here. You don't know how good it smells. I'll be back.

32:20 John Daub: The Blackboard Cafe. Yes. You know the blackboard? The blackboard means... Yeah blackboard. The adverti... Yeah the blackboard. Okay now I get it. I can see the kanji now. Interesting. This is the cafe everybody. Hello. Oh safe. This is different from the previous one. They have a computer inside. So you can work inside. Oh right. So apparently this... Co-working space. I got you there. Oh I see these are like some cubbies here. Little makeshift offices. We can take a look in here. Oh look at that. There's a desk in here. So you could rent some office space here. And I think that's kind of a unique thing to do when you're traveling on the road here. The internet is also very strong here. Yes. You can rent a space here. Awesome. And you can eat. Yes. Wow. I love this. You don't expect a place like this in a small town in rural Japan. Although like this is you know Ino Town very close to Kochi City but it's just it's pleasantly it's a very pleasant thing to do. And if more rural towns have places like this I could see more people seeing the value in moving out of the cities and coming to Ino Town and making this home. And that's ultimately like something I would love to see more of.

34:18 John Daub: Wow. Sakamoto Ryoma's birthday is very close. It's November 15th. Wow. So Sakamoto Ryoma is a very important person in Japan and of course here in Kochi and his birthday is in three days. So that's sort of a big deal. Is that right Paul? I think it's in three days from now. December or November? November. November. November. No, no, you're right Paul. Yeah, it was last month. Okay. Good. I'm glad that Paul is here. Yeah, that's right. I asked him about his birthday. Ryoma's birthday. Jennifer, thank you for the snack fund. I will be I think going back to that Shōgayaki place. That was really good. It smelled good. This is so interesting the uniqueness of the architecture, right? This also looks like a warehouse. Kurama Taikyu [?]. This was also a rice shop. It was built in the Edo period. Oh. So this building was a rice shop? Is that right Paul? That's right. Okay. I like the fact that they have signs in both Japanese and English to help you out here. Yeah. But yeah, they don't make it of just completely wood and that's kind of a good thing. I guess in Kochi there's a lot of wind and the weather conditions are harsher. So more buildings were made out of like the plaster and rocks and stuff instead of just wood. But what's really interesting to me is that a lot of these family businesses are still in operation going back to like the Meiji and the Shōwa era. That's really cool.

36:33 John Daub: Nin Nin's getting hungry too, right? Lots of it. The wealth of the. Yeah. You can see here also the manhole covers. This is the paper museum? That's right. Yeah. The paper museum. I think today's Monday. It's closed now. The museums in Japan are closed on Monday. Originally, I wanted to have a kamisuki (paper-making) experience. Oh yeah. Alright. Oh this is... I want to do some paper making. Oh that would be nice. I want to try to make some washi paper again. I was at... Up near Yusuhara in Kochi making paper before. It's a good experience. Ah, this is a shrine? Oh. Oh. Oh, I love it. I love this.

37:50 John Daub: She's hanging in the windows. Ah, is this sweet or sour ones? Am I right? Yes, it's sweet. By drying shibugaki (persimmons) with a tin foil, it becomes a sweet dessert. Hmm. Yeah, dried fruits. Homemade dried fruits. Wow. So even the sour ones, the shibugaki, when they dry them, they get sweeter and sweeter. Right. I guess you could dry them for years and you'd be like eating pure sugar, right? That's not how it works. Okay, yeah. This is the shrine in Ino-chō. It's called Daikokusama in Sugimoto Shrine. Sugimoto Shrine. What they call it, Daikokusama is the local name of the shrine. It's dedicated to one of the seven lucky gods, Daikoku. Holy moly. Eh? Kamakura era. Yes, Kamakura era. There's an important shrine called Hachiman-gu Urushinuri Mikoshi [?]. It's here. Do you all know how long ago Kamakura period... This is the year 793. Yes. 1200 years ago. 1300. 1200 years ago. Holy moly. That is a long time ago. Yeah, the year 793. The shrine was here. That's pretty amazing. And they have one of the three most famous festivals according to the sign there. There's a festival here, too. November 23. The festival is held with the shrine. Let's go inside. We should bow as well.

40:07 John Daub: What you do know is whenever you are at the shrine, you should never walk into the center, right? Just stay to the left or the right of it. The center is reserved for Kami-sama or God. Yeah. It's pretty relaxing whenever you go to a shrine out in the forest or a temple. Shrines are Shinto. Temples are Buddhist. And that's how you know. In Japan, we call it chōzu (purification fountain). It's a ritual to purify the body of the shrine. Paul, I think when you enter the shrine, you want to purify yourself by washing your hands. Yeah, and you can also use it in your mouth, but in this COVID-19 era, it's okay. This picture shows the Hachiman-gu Urushinuri Mikoshi [?]. That's the Mikoshi shrine. This is the Mikoshi, which is a portable shrine that was used for the festival back in November, just a few weeks ago. It's recent, isn't it? Oh, wow. You can really feel the energy here. Just looking left and right at all the big trees. Do you see that? Really large trunk trees. I love that. That means it's been here for a long time.

42:02 John Daub: Hello. This is miko (shrine maiden). Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. He's wearing New York. That's right. Yeah. Yankees. Japanese people throw a ritual here. Yeah, a ritual. They throw a ritual. Yeah. Pom pom. Two times. Two times. And then, what about money? You can put it in first. No, it's okay. It's important to feel good. I said a prayer for all of you guys on the other side for good health in 2023 and a safe trip to Japan. Whoa! Oh, behind you. Amazing! Momiji (maple leaves) is praying. Paul, what does kōyō (autumn foliage) mean in English? Kōyō is one of my favorite times of the year in autumn. And we've just hit it perfectly for this year. Look at this particular tree. Look at that. The momiji leaves are just stunning. You got a red and yellow and orange on there. All right, let's go. Next place.

44:21 John Daub: Yeah. Yeah, it's been irregularly warm here. So that means the autumn is a little bit slower. So even though it's December 12th, we still have autumn foliage here, which is pretty cool. Winter is just a couple weeks away. It doesn't feel like winter, does it? It's not summer. It's just a little bit of a cold. This scene is really... Yeah, wow! This is an amazing scene. I hope you guys are seeing this okay. We're using it at 1080p high definition live stream here. I'll just put that up at the maximum zoom. Actually, why don't we just go underneath there? Here, I'll just take you there. And we'll go right underneath this. Oh, you got a picture here. Morishita Ryoma-san just took a picture. He's just like, let's go right underneath here and just take a look. It does look like a bushfire. Unbelievable color. Oh my gosh, it's even better from underneath. That's stunning. Yeah, you know, I'm just, we are just really lucky to have this perfect warm weather and sunshine today to enjoy it because it's rare. Typically, I'd have a jacket on and a scarf and gloves and it'd be a lot windier. But we're just totally lucky with this. Thanks, Katayama, you're here with us enjoying this beautiful scenery. Whoa! That's a postcard right there. Whoa!

46:36 John Daub: Oh, thank you. Did you see that, Nin-nin? It's pretty cool. Thank you. Oh, really? Oh, this is pretty light. Let's see here. It's a real one? Oh, okay. Thank you. It's a sword. Oh, yeah. Whoa. And you have to get the blood off of the sword. That's awesome. Thank you. So cool. First-person shooter mode. I see the comments here. It's very funny. It's just so special whenever you get a chance on a beautiful day like this to go to a shrine that you haven't been to before and see it especially in the fall or in the spring when the cherry blossoms or the autumn foliage is doing, seeing it in all of its beauty. Here comes one of the shrine maidens again. Wow. Two-shot.

48:06 John Daub: So we are in, for those that are joining us, in Ino Town, Kochi Prefecture on a tour with Nin-nin, the personal robot who's translating for us in front of a koi pond. What? Oh my gosh, this is amazing. Carp. Carp, yeah. That's really nice. Two-shot. Thank you. Hello. It's bright. It's kind of bright here. Look, there's Nin-nin. Thank you. There, I took a picture. Thank you. It was a wonderful tour. So that's the end of the tour here. We have some, can I ask them, Paul, can I read me? We're going to ask some questions here. Do you live here in Ino Town? Ah, do you live here? Do you live in Ino Town? Paul? Fifty. Fifty years? Yes. So he's been living in Ino Town for fifty years. But, yeah, we're pretty deep in the woods. We're kind of surrounded by trees. So that's understandable. But you're from Kochi prefecture, right? Yes, I'm from Ino Town. Ah, yeah. So you were born here. So he was born here. So just to get that right. Yeah, there's our team of engineers. I told them you cannot hide.

50:45 John Daub: Therefore, we shall focus on the... That's really pretty. How big is the town? It's not too big, but it's on the... So you can get here. It's accessible. So this town is accessible from the Chinden (trams), or the tram, from Kochi City. It takes about forty minutes. So it takes about forty minutes. And you can also come here by car or taxi. I would say... I would say probably the best way to come here would be by tram. From Kochi Station. Yes, from Kochi Station. Just take the tram going to Ino Town. Yes, Ino Town. And, yeah, you can hang around here. Go to that supermarket and look at those amazing sculptures made out of cardboard from the vegetables and fruits that come in that he sells. It's just awesome. Try the shōgayaki at the restaurant run. But, yeah, it's just awesome. It's made by a grandmother, and looks like daughter for generations. They've been making it on Shōgayaki Dōri, a street that's famous for this kind of cuisine. Shōgayaki being like a grilled pork and ginger. Oh, that's so good. Thank you very much. We'll come to Ino Town again. See you again. See you later. Thank you. Bye bye.

52:16 John Daub: So, Nin Nin, any final words, Paul? Paul keeps it simple. Thank you, Paul. Bye bye. I really enjoyed it, too. I thought that sometimes the audio would come in and out, but when there were some things that I needed to explain, some of the deeper stuff, like the second door in there, it was really useful to have somebody with me to help to translate it. But more than that, I think for me, as somebody, because I can kind of speak conversational Japanese, as I said, it's really fun to have a friend or another buddy with me. So even though Paul is in a place on the other side of the prefecture, it's kind of neat to have somebody with me and be able to see through this camera. So I wanted to introduce you to this technology. I know it's not perfect, but you can see where it's going. And the sensory of it all, how this works, as both an assistant for you traveling around Japan to use this technology, but also for those that have sensory impairments, like with vision or with speech or with hearing, you can see having a speaker near you and another pair of eyes right here can be really a beneficial thing. So this is technology from here in Kochi Prefecture, which is really cool, and I'm excited to have had a chance to introduce it. So if you have any questions, you can leave them in the comments below. Please do ask about it. Japan is the country of robots and Kochi is the country of Nin Nin. The personal robot. See, he talks there. Alright, bye bye Paul. Should I say bye bye Nin Nin? Bye bye everybody.
