We had to LEAVE - The End | Japan Road Trip 35 🎌

And it's here .....Our very last video from our Road trip around Japan with Bubbles the Suzuki Solio as we roll out of the mountains and into Osaka. It’s that strange mix of melancholy and excitement — the end of one journey and the start of a brand-new adventure. Join Michele and I for one final drive in Japan as we chat about: * cycling culture and “mama-chari spotting,” * travelling 6,000 km without touching a toll road, * love hotels vs ryokan life, * roadside quirks, convenience stores, and spotless bathrooms, * and the bittersweet feeling of handing back our trusty little car. We also discover a very unusual love hotel (yes… Christmas is involved), wrap up our Japan road trip, and look ahead to what’s coming next. Thanks for sharing this journey with us — you make it all worthwhile. 🎌❤️ 00:00 Final day with Bubbles 01:12 End-of-journey wobbles 03:00 Mama-chari spotting game 05:20 6,000 km… no tolls! 07:45 Why Tokyo didn’t tempt us 09:35 Combini praise hour 11:10 Bubbles the fuel legend 12:40 Ryokan vs Love Hotel showdown 14:55 Hunting for our “special” hotel 16:50 The Merry Christmas surprise 17:18 Signing off from Japan Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCKFt7y9MS8BjPlpVHAdYwA/join ☕️☕️ Buy us a Coffee 👍 http://paypal.me/ThanksSteve 📌 Stay Connected! 🌍 Website: [steves-kitchen.com] 📷 Instagram: [@steveskitchen] 🐦 Twitter/X: [@steves_kitchen] 📘 Facebook: [Steve’s Kitchen] Stay tuned for more fun content and don't forget to leave your questions and suggestions in the comments!
