We're trapped in the basement of a pyramid capsule hotel inside a shipping container.

Yes, It's like our own private capsule hotel.

Good morning and welcome ladies and gentlemen journey across Japan escape to Mount fuji six days in 1000 kilometers of despair.

And today, this morning we're here by the great pyramid of Japan, gigantic Japanese pyramid in the rain.

You don't get content like this anywhere else.

Probably a good reason for that.

Today was supposed to be a day of celebration because today was supposed to be the first day that we catch a glimpse of Mount fuji.

However, instead of clear skies and wonderful weather, we have a typhoon coming typhoon chan hom it's called.

Might as well be called typhoon Q.

Chris because it's completely blown.

Our chances of seeing Mount fuji today unless the typhoon magically clears up In the next 10 hours.

But if it doesn't happen, I am going to kill jelly and speaking of Joey, he's somewhere inside the pyramid.

If you're wondering how we found this pyramid, we were honestly just driving down the road and saw it sticking out over the trees and we realized it was an opportunity too good to miss.

You never know what you're gonna find in the countryside in Japan.

There's always something weird around the next corner and uh, that certainly fits the definition of big out of place.

The japanese countryside as to what's inside the damn thing.

Let's find out.

Let's go.

If you're wondering what this place is, it's not the great pyramid of Japan.

Unfortunately, it is some sort of stone museum.

They thought they'd spice things up by rebuilding certain replicas of famous places and there's like Rome over there, we've got Egypt over here.

Harry, that's what the inside of the pyramid looks like.

It's amazed the real challenge today.

Trying to find Joey, come on, let's go inside.

Mhm Okay.

Oh my God, It's like four different pathways to go now and Joey Joey I got 300 km to drive today.

I don't even know where my companion is, Joey Mhm the pyramids do with metal just like the real pyramids of Giza forking out.

Watch out for the the whole, I feel like I'm in the money.

Remember that film?

The mummy with Brendan fraser?

Not one with tom cruise polish Joey 300 km in the rain genuinely this isn't like a joke, I don't know where Joey is.

I'm really tired and the day hasn't even begun yet and we're trapped in the basement of a pyramid.

Has a bloody healthy get out of this pyramid.

I don't know how we got in here, we've been walking for like five minutes now around in circles and whatnot.

Pretty.

Look at this.

Okay, a dead end, there's actually a hole here as well, check this out the whole jay jerry, my brother.

Oh oh God why did we let jerry go in the pyramid alone, why did we let them wander off.

Alright, let's keep going.

Can't go that way.

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

Mhm Oh, journey across Japan's open no more.

No more.

We're gonna edit that bit out already.

That this pyramid was supposed to be a funny little opening.

But we've been down here for 40 minutes now, lost in this maze.

It's like the actual camp economist and it's quite well done but also very frustrated.

Alright, let's get this challenge.

Let's go.

So of course, every day on this road trip, we're accepting challenges sent in by you guys.

We've had about 4000 submission so far.

Whittled down to three bar production team.

And the challenge today is challenge today is from summer who says find the most bizarre accommodation you can find the most bizarre accommodate the pyramid.

Does that work?

We've resided in here for about 45 minutes so far.

Typically the kind of wacky crazy hotels you find in Japan like the robot hotel.

They're always in Tokyo.

There was in the city and we are going to be the mountains today.

So it's gonna be a little bit tricky to find somewhere.

So a regular hotel on your car probably once a fire.

So we're going to find something that's like what the fun.

Well, first things first, let's get this damn maze and hit the road.

Alright.

Got typhoon to drive food.

What do you do?

Which way?

Yeah.

So having spent half the morning moping about in the Tomb of Japan's biggest pyramid.

We hit the road once more for day four of our journey across Japan and at last we find ourselves heading towards Mount Fiji for our first of three attempts to see the mountain.

But with the looming typhoon overhead and rainfall that would give even Noah's ark a run for its money.

We're not holding out much hope that will actually see it today.

Japan's typhoon season runs from May to october, typically peaking around august and september with an average of 30 typhoons or tropical storms every single year in 2019.

The most powerful typhoon in 40 years.

Typhoon Hagibis struck the country and left a $15 billion dollar trail of destruction nationwide, Killing 98 people and leaving a quarter of a million households without electricity.

But for the most part, Japan is well prepared to handle less violent typhoons today.

It's less of a danger and more of an inconvenience.

Nevertheless, we've barely been on the road for an hour when we quickly decided to escape the rain and pull over at Coco's a family diner for a late lunch and some important research.

Yeah.

So we're in a Cocos right now for lunch.

Just regular family restaurant.

And I was just looking up some weird accommodations that we could stay for our challenge for today.

And I think I found something that is definitely of the interesting variety.

Okay, chris All right, Where you got them?

All right.

So I got to All right a love hotel with a cage.

I'm not going there.

A lot of votes.

However, again, not after the first day.

What a capsule hotel in a shipping crate.

What even is that?

It's a capsule hotel in a shipping crate.

Choose your own adventure.

Choose your own adventure.

Uh, capsule hotel inside a shipping container.

Yes.

Now, I've seen everything except Mount Fiji.

Uh, second one.

Alright.

Nothing.

All right.

That is a greasy looking pieces.

Yeah, I've dabbed all the grease off fucking delicious.

Right.

Oh, how much fucking bake?

It is on diabetes on a plate.

God, well, Joey's beloved shipping container is ness or more or less at the base of Mount Fiji.

Given our late start today, it's already nightfall when we hit the road once again, meaning all hope of soon Mount Fuji today has truly gone out of the window.

But hopefully the accommodation will make up for it as we wait out the storm from the comfort of our own shipping container capsule hotel thing.

I don't know what it is, Joey didn't really explain it.

Well, well, we've just arrived at Joey's capitol hotel.

My capital juries can't really found this.

Now.

We may not see Mount Fuji.

Today might be a bit of a letdown, but hopefully this will make up for it.

Let's go.

All right.

Yeah.

As you can see, it's a gigantic bunch of shipping containers out here already.

We won't be sitting in it because it's absolutely drenching in rain right now.

The barbecue in the rain in the rain.

Yeah, the gland reveal, wow, whoa.

It might be, it may look like a shipping container from the outside of this.

It's a lot more aggressive than I anticipated.

You better take your shoes off.

Whoa, whoa.

Good God.

It's like our own private capsule hotel.

It's actually you.

That's so cool.

I've never even said at a regular capsule catch.

No, I haven't strangely.

But now I can say that a state at the capitol hotel, our own capital hotel.

How many are there?

123, 10, 10 or 11 capsules.

I'm most excited about this one.

Yes it's like half the size of a normal capital punishment camp.

If you're a bad person Just leave Joe in there for the rest of the rest of the trip.

Shall we trip?

Just got 20% better, wow.

I mean we could spoil for choice as to as to which capsule we stay in.

I think we should sort of stay quite far apart.

You go over that.

Well, this would be my side.

That could be your side.

Hell yeah, I got more rooms.

There's a hammock.

Uh huh.

Well, I love having so much.

So I've been, I've stayed at capsule hotel about, let's say five or six times and I don't really like them because they do get a bit stuffy and often quite noisy depending on where you are like I stayed in one for three nights.

once on the second night.

I checked out because the other guests are being really noisy coming in at like one am two AM.

But because it's just joe and I hear That would be a problem and it looks a little bit more spacious than I'm used to.

It's at least 40% larger than the capsule.

I stayed in the previous video about two or three years ago bullshit.

Hold over here, located in the hammock.

I'm in zen mode right now.

Do not disturb me like a, like a multi colored banana.

I'm in my cocoon phase and I'm ready to be born Joey.

Spent too much time in the car this week into the bathroom.

Nice saying nice things.

Nice sink.

Was this both a plant pot?

I've never seen anything of this size.

We've gone from 1000 year old lock to a gigantic plant pot And we get matching plant pots.

Hey, that's nice.

And what is it with this trip?

And I was being in weird shaped bathtubs.

Ray branded Jim.

It's a weird shape up, a little bit greedy having two people in here because it's clearly been designed for at least 10, about 10 people a little bit greedy.

And then finally the kitchen Presumably if you've got 10 people staying here, you're gonna want to dine together.

It's a conflict with the kitchen.

Good kid.

I love the wool check that out design and lockers as well.

It's really like it.

I must say it's way bigger than I thought it was gonna be coming here.

So what can you expect to find in this glorified coffin with a dead well over here we have room light and we have a fan on off.

I don't know where the fan is, I can't hear it for him.

It is a little bit stuffy.

And again, that's my main criticism with capsule hotels capsules.

Just don't feel well ventilated and when you close the shutter it gets a little bit stuffy and that's my main reason I don't sleep in these things anymore.

On the other hand, it's kind of cozy.

Do you feel kind of cozy in the capsule?

The only thing you got to be careful of is when you wake up, you don't smash your head on the ceiling.

I've done that many times and it's also a quick way to fall asleep if you have trouble falling asleep by your head on the ceiling job down quick bed time capsule hotels are a great alternative to hostels and business hotels costing on average between 30 to $50 a night in recent years.

There's been a boom in hotel companies building stylish and contemporary hotels catering for overseas tourists and throwing off the image of being merely a late night budget option for drunken salary men, Different hotels offer different perks as well.

For example, a while back.

I did a tour of the Tokyo Capital Hotel where I was pleasantly surprised to be given two capsules, one above for sleeping in and one below with a small table where I could sit and work.

I felt incredibly greedy.

It was luxury beyond my wildest dreams and if I had to choose between staying in a hostel dorm or staying at the capsule hotel for a similar price, I would recommend staying at the capsule hotel because you have an extra layer of privacy when compared to a bunk bed.

So if you're coming to Japan and staying in a big city such as Tokyo or Osaka, I recommend trying it out.

Even if it's just for one night, it's an experience unto itself.

After all, it's not every day you get to sleep in what is essentially a stylish morgue.

So that is the whirlwind tour of our private capsule hotel and now dinner time hungry.

Yes, I'm hungry.

We've got the most luxurious dinner money combined from family market, The most luxurious decadent dinner cup, noodle Joey's finishes very quickly.

I was starving, but now I'm gonna crack open a side of dry and eat some great gummies.

Living the dream, Joey living the dream in japan important point cider typically just means like lemonade.

Yeah, sprite sprite basically.

Whereas actual cider is called.

But I actually just like that like a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, the number one brand in Japan is caring hard hard, It's a hardship, but one that highlights this trip so fast but the challenges.
