Who says Japan is convenient? Convenient—my ass.

Do you know how ridiculous Japanese hotels are?

I stayed at the hotel for four nights.

I had to check out at 11 a.m. every day.

I couldn't get back until 3 p.m.

Japanese hotels — are you trying to kill me?

And on the day you check out,

you can't leave your suitcase at the front desk.

You have to take it with you.

Even Europe isn't this backward.

Japanese hotels are killing me with how expensive they are.

I'm traveling alone.

I can only afford the Jiangnan Hotel.

Now I'll take you to see it.

Let's see what my Jiangnan Hotel is like.

Then take this key for the shoe locker.

Go to the front desk to exchange it for the room key.

That's way too inconvenient.

We thank everyone for staying at our hotel.

This announcement is for everyone.

We require everyone to check out at 11 a.m.

Extensions are not allowed.

Even guests staying more than one night,

please check out at 3 p.m.

and check in again.

This is the hotel I'm staying at.

Let me show you my room.

The online photos are still a bit different.

This is a very large room.

Pretty big, isn't it?

Big.

I heard this hotel is okay for solo travelers.

Although it gives off an NBC vibe.

But it's still hard to accept.

Now I'm curious.

Only women stay on this floor.

Women and men can't stay together.

Isn't this even more restrictive than in China?

This is the public area.

There are lots of manga and anime here.

But the people here are all men.

I think these Jiangnan hotels

are very unfair to women.

There are simply fewer rooms for women.

And they sell out quickly.

I booked the hotel one day in advance.

So what happened?

It was already fully booked two days earlier.

Japan is just unfair to women.

Our hotel has a scanning system.

Only men can use it.

And staying in a women's room

is 1,000 yuan more expensive than staying in a men's room.

Now it's time for me to be kicked out of the hotel.

I'm staying in Shinjuku.

It's a very famous area.

You get it?

I can't get a signal in Shinjuku either.

I bought a 12-day SIM card at the Green Center.

Do you know how I'm navigating now?

Every time I get lost,

I go to a nearby convenience store,

and connect to the free Wi-Fi.

That way I can navigate.

Other people's real experiences in Japan.

Oh, I want to buy this!

Which one should I buy?

My Japan experience.

Is there free Wi-Fi here?

Is there free Wi-Fi here?

Now let's try it.

Is Japan safe at night?

So now I'm going out alone.

I came here with four people.

To film everyone's outfits.

But drinking is prohibited here.

Partying is even banned.

Can you even call that a group of four?

It should be called a "no-drinking zone."

First, let's find something tasty to eat.

I found a cheap restaurant.

Japan actually has cheap food.

So I can be more relaxed and eat a bit more.

Oh my god.

I forgot—the rich man picked up the 10,000 for me.

I can't understand mature Japanese.

Where in Japan would anyone be willing to have me?

There's a Japanese guy at Seven.

Help me—how do I go pick him up?

Then he just went 'pa-du pa-du' and didn't say anything.

Later, the uncle behind us...

That uncle helped me.

Because he saw that man trembling.

There was one thing I didn't know these past few days.

It was that I asked for directions many times.

Japanese guys were afraid of me.

They wouldn't talk to me.

Am I really that scary?

The cheapest meal I've had in Japan...

Only 40 yuan.

This is the famous Japanese sauce soba.

I bought the cheapest one.

No meat.

No shrimp.

There wasn't even shrimp.

The most traditional and the cheapest.

This is actually cold.

I'm freezing out here.

It's autumn now too.

No need to say I ordered a cold dish.

This tastes like the water I drank as a child.

No salt, no seasonings at all.

I need Sichuan chilies.

I think Japanese people are so strange.

Even this has no flavor.

Anyway, all their food is like this.

Not sweet, not sour, not spicy.

Not salty.

In China, the biggest worry at night is that you'll get fat.

In Japan I'm afraid the portions are too small.

I won't be full.

But then I won't want to eat more.

My friend told me to be careful going out at night in Japan.

Because there are many young women near bars.

They will call you in.

But today I really can't tell.

Which ones are the young women?

Which ones are normal people?

Why are you looking at me?

I probably look the most like the girls here.

The guy next door is filming me.

Look—young women.

This one is a young woman.

A bar with black people looks dangerous.

Why is it in front of my hotel?

My Japanese friend told me,

This is one of the most dangerous places in Japan.

This isn't considered a red-light district.

He said this place isn't dangerous enough anymore.

He said I booked a hotel here.

Wow, Keke is very popular in Japan.

There are people lining up.

I'll tell you.

Stories that happened to my friend in Japan.

He went to a hookup.

A Japanese guy asked him,

"How many people did you say?"

He immediately continued and said,

I said, "Three hundred."

"Are you here for an interview?"

"Or to confess?"

Japanese people really are so strange.

The young doctor looks kind of weird.

Actually, he really is eccentric.

I finally remembered that I'd gone out for Halloween before.

It feels like there aren't many parties here.

This place is dead.

It's all office workers.

Oh no, I've been fooled again.

Now I'm going to figure things out.

I heard the party there doesn't stop.

So there should be more people out having fun.

Now comes my getting-lost part.

I have to take the subway again.

I haven't finished having fun yet.

Okay, I found it.

Speaks Chinese, swims.

Ah—I can speak Chinese, really swim.

Board safely.

The streamer is really a genius.

I can't take it.

I'm freezing and it's raining again.

And I ate cold noodles.

I want to drink something hot.

Finally found something hot.

The strangest part is I can't find my trash can now.

But I fell apart.

Japanese convenience stores

have trash cans.

I was fooled by this convenience store.

It also doesn't have a trash can.

This is a trash can.

This is a convenience store.

There is a trash can here.

But it doesn't fit.

OK—not only does this crappy place...

deal in unwanted people.

Everyone, guess—on Japanese Halloween streets

which character is the most common?

It's the police again.

That's right—it's "Hat Uncle."

Then something happened.

People who look like police are still the most common.

I bought one.

OK, it's pouring rain.

I have to find a place to lie down.

This shop

is only 24 hours.

I'm going to lie down here.

Is this a store?

Surprisingly, there's even an elevator.

I don't know what's wrong.

But I'm lost again.

Now I'm lost in the cosmetics section.

Buying Chinese cosmetics.

I already have these.

Really.

Now I keep hearing...

I get emotional.

You get lost here,

and then keep buying nonstop.

I went up again—I can still go up.

OK, friends.

I'm completely lost.

I already don't know which floor I'm on.

I can't find the elevator.

OK, friends.

I've been here

I don't know.

Maybe 50 minutes.

I want to go home.

Too tired.

Shopping is too tiring.

So, is Japan safe at night?

Maybe.

I didn't prove anything today either.

But I can prove

I miss Chinese barbecue so much.
