We're getting on the night bus. (⊙◞▽◟⊙)

R: All right, so we got this- J: Footrest? Nice.

This is also a really great way--if you get into an argument with someone...

Like, if I don't want to talk to Jun anymore I'm just like

At some of these rest stops they have giant LED maps

that map out every single toilet and they tell you which ones are occupied

and whether they're Japanese or Western toilets.

You can plot out exactly which toilet you want to go to.

It's like the Mecca of Japanese vending machines.

And there's also this type of Blendy coffee.

One of these things is not like the other ♪

We're back in Akita again. We were here last year for the Namahage Festival.

Namahage are terrifying demons native to Akita

who descend upon the towns once a year to TERRORIZE the people!!1!

How they are doing is written in this book,

Your son is playing video game all day without doing homework at all.

I see nothing good written about your son here.

Okay, so actually the Namahage are messengers of the gods

who visit families in town and make sure their kids are behaving!

The owner of the house knows the Namahage in person.

To kids, he asks if they've been listening to their parents well.

To the parents, he asks if they've been parenting the kids well.

I'm glad there's no kids around here now.

We're at the site of the Kamakura festival, which they're building right now.

It's like a story high. They're just standing on top of this giant thing of snow.

there're 4 to 5 groups of 20 people each building 100 kamakura igloos.

And now they have this bulldozer to put snow (AND PEOPLE) on top.

They build it from the ground up and then pack snow on top of it.

But in the past they used to just use shovels and flip it up.

Right now he's like, "This annoying foreigner wants to help try..."

"Just let her pack it on. You can redo it later."

SNOW CHAINZ [Why are there no Alaskan rappers with this name]

Okay, so Akita is really far north so it gets a lot of snow,

and even though you can’t really tell in this video it’s pretty deep.
