Hey guys,
So first off before anything today is the day I fight in a Chess Boxing match in Los Angeles!!
Today has been a long day coming and I’d lie if I said I wasn’t anxious. Win or lose I just want to put up a good fight on the board and in the ring. It’s been quite a jo...

Hey guys,
The holiday season is upon us and the first video in the 12 Days of Christmas is now up! Throughout December we'll be releasing 12 videos across Abroad in Japan and Chris Abroad taking you around the country.
It's going to be a wild ride and in this video I reveal 12 Things I hate abou...
Hey guys!
Hope you've had a great weekend - pleased to announce this month's Patreon live show is upon us tomorrow evening (Monday 28th).
Even though it's been the quietest month of the year in public, behind the scenes it's been by far the busiest so far, gearing up fo...
It’s been a hell of a few weeks.
Shooting videos everywhere from love hotels and long lost towns in Kyushu, to inside Japan’s biggest sushi restaurant and my least favourite burger restaurant in the country.
By my count we’ve shot over 10 videos so far in the las...
Hey guys!
Pleased to announce we've got an extra batch of tickets for the 20:00 showing of the Abroad in Japan Christmas Party in London.
The venue kindly moved us to a bigger screening room as we sold out all our tickets!
We're promoting them here on Patreon first to give you guys priority and i...
Hey guys!
Pleased to announce this month's Patreon hangout will be this Sunday 30th - the night before Halloween.
It's been a surreal month what with Japan finally re-opening and life going back to normality for the most part here.
I look forward to chatting abo...
Hey guys!
So Halloween is upon us and I’m currently working out what the bloody hell to do for a costume.
I love the ridiculous items you find while exploring stores like DonQuijote, including the above “Border Boy”. When you can’t afford the rights to Where’s Wally/Waldo, you get BORD...
Hey guys!
So in our recent Wacky Weekend episode Connor and I cycled 750km across Hokkaido in the biggest physical challenge of our lives.
In this Patreon Behind the scenes, here's 20 minutes of deleted scenes and outtakes we weren't able to fit into the final video! I...
It's a Christmas miracle.
Japan is now finally open to the world!
The wait is over at last and you can explore all the ridiculous places we've visited over the last two years.
To celebrate the milestone, I'll be hosting a live show tonight reve...

It feels like an incredibly exciting time.
Japan is finally set to re-open in 10 days for the first time since 2020!
In today's Patreon vlog I discuss Japan re-opening, why I'm going to LA to put myself through hell and what lies ahead in the next three exciting months from...
Hey guys,
Well Journey Across Japan is over, Japan is FINALLY set to re-open on October 11th after a billion years and I find myself going to LA very soon to become a Chess boxing champion. Exciting times lie ahead.(I'll explain all).
But all of this means that it's time for a Patreon liveshow to catch up! The ...
What a difference 3 months can make.
In July of this year I returned from the UK bloated, overweight, constantly out of breath and feeling lethargic, having received a health report that read like a horror show.
Now in September, I was somehow able to cycle 750...
Hey guys,
A quick reminder that the Patreon live show kicks off tonight at 22:00 Japan time, ie. in 20 minutes!
This is the belated AUGUST Patreon hangout that had to be postponed due to the 750km cycle of despair across Hokkaido.

Hey guys,
So it pains me to do this - in fact, I think this may be the second time in 6 years of Patreon that've moved a Live Show - but unfortunately I'm going to have to push back the already late hangout by one week from Saturday 3rd to Saturday 10th September.
As yo...
Hey guys,
So as you know these last few years due to COVID I've not been able to return to the UK for Christmas at all, which is typically the time I head home for a much needed break. Beyond that, it's my favourite time of year and Japan doesn't exactly do Christmas well. 2022-09-02 07:21:49 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey guys,
First off a big apology for the delay on the Patreon August Livestream!
Because of the chaos of cycling 700km across Hokkaido this last week and the prep required beforehand, my life has been absolute chaos of recent.
With that in mind, August's live show wi...

Hey guys!
I come to you to from a field in remote North Hokkaido, midway through a painful 700km cycle with Connor from Wakkanai (Japan's most northern town) to Hakodate.
So far it's gone pretty well - we're 300km in and have raised $70,000 for charity (the fantastic Im...

At long last guys the wait is finally over!
The first epic episode of Journey Across Japan: Escape to Paradise is finally up - an episode in which we sail the seas of Okinawa, go inside a traditional Okinawan home and eat what might just be the world's spiciest food (genuinely).

Hey guys, hope you've had a great start to the week!
So at long last the damn flying car has made its big debut over on Abroad in Japan in yesterday's latest video.
Check it out if you missed it!

Hey guys,
Bit of a random Patreon video today!
I recently built a flying car set inside the Abroad in Japan studio for an upcoming video that's coming out later this week.
Is this a genius move or a moment of madness - allow me to explain!
I also discuss the upcoming fitness series that'll...
Hey guys,
So after a month in the UK spent in Churches and Prisons, I'm back in Japan feeling better than ever and ready to go!
Let's catch up LIVE tonight, as we talk ghosts, fitness and Journey Across Japan.
Show starts in about 20 minutes! Hope to see you there!
Not a video I'd ever hoped to make.
Today former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo was shot dead while campaigning in Nara.
It's been a real shock for the nation and there's still a lot of questions, but I wanted to at least give a summary of the days event and hear thoughts from Ryotaro, who's actually met...
