  • Keep backing up. That's exactly what she asked you not to do.

  • His legs are so long. And his tail is so fluffy!

  • Today were at FOX VILLAGE!!

  • It's a gorilla! It's like gorilla village.

  • It’s a village slash zoo for foxes that you can go inside

  • and play with more than 200 foxes for only 1,000 yen.

  • Can I touch it?

  • I can’t even believe a place like this really exists.

  • It was even better than I thought it was going to be.

  • How excited are you on a scale of 1 to 10?

  • 36!

  • How about you?

  • 5,000!

  • Oh my god.

  • 10/10

  • When you first enter youll be in an area with cages where there are newly born baby

  • foxes who are being taken care of by their mamas.

  • There’s a fox hospital in this area, and if you want to, you can hold a fox here!

  • Once the babies separate from their mom they join in one of these big adolescent pens

  • where you can watch them running back and forth and playing with each other,

  • or sleeping in the most adorable giant fox ball EVER.

  • That is literally a pile of foxes. I can't even count how many there are there.

  • And then finally theyre graduated to the main fox village, which is an open area of

  • more than 18,000 square feet filled with fox houses,

  • a fox hotel street-

  • It's like a cat tower. But fox tower.

  • -a fox shrine,

  • a fox feeding platform-

  • How did that one get in?

  • It got in when I was getting out.

  • Oh. Now it doesn't want to come out.

  • "Please don't let the foxes in." I know.

  • Come here...

  • He's just excited to be in there because they're not normally allowed in there, I guess.

  • Here foxy!

  • Yayy we saved the day.

  • -and plenty of nooks and crannies for the foxes to enjoy playing around in, exploring,

  • and digging fox holes.

  • The foxes were all really well-behaved. They seemed almost like they were half-cat/half-dog.

  • They were all born and raised here so that might explain some of it, but they were even

  • more domesticated than I would have expected.

  • You can buy treats for them, which come in plastic bags,

  • and as soon as they realize you have treats they will follow you everywhere.

  • Oh.

  • I just made a noise with the food. He noticed.

  • Hi. Sorry for tricking you.

  • I'm not allowed to feed you here. I'm sorry!

  • And if you don’t go feed them quickly enough, some of them get kind of grabby.

  • He's vicious!

  • Come on, no no!

  • Come on, ow, ow, he's gonna kill me!

  • He's like strangling me.

  • They did this thing a lot where they open their mouths and squeal at each other, which

  • we assumed was a show of dominance, but I’m not a fox scholar so I can't say for sure.

  • Which one won?

  • You?

  • Apparently if you don’t lock down your belongings carefully enough, theyll run off with your

  • stuff and try to bury it.

  • He's trying to steal it and run off with it.

  • You're so chubby.

  • Oh, the lens cap... Awww.

  • So be careful, and make sure they don’t get a hold of anything they can choke on.

  • And can we talk about the noises they make, because it’s so adorable it’s killing me.

  • What does the fox say?

  • They're very quiet.

  • Nevermind.

  • They're not.

  • Not at all.

  • They mostly seemed chubby and happy so it was a really fun place to visit.

  • All in all I highly recommend this place.

  • Thank you for watching, and I hope you guys can all visit fox village one day, too.

  • Up until now I was like, I don't really care about foxes.

  • But now I'm gonna walk out of here a changed man.

Keep backing up. That's exactly what she asked you not to do.
