外国人観光客の増加
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast. Hello. Hello guys. Hello. Hello. Oh, I just remember the 水戸筋
水戸筋? That's like the biggest road in Osaka, I guess. Okay. And along that street you have like
big brands. Oh, okay. Just like 表参道. Just like Ginza, maybe. Oh, okay. Yeah.
It's, yeah, you can walk through if you want to. They got beautiful trees. Yeah, yeah. Christmas
time. It's like lighting up. Yeah. I mean, if you love walking in a town, I would recommend 新世界
just take a walk 30 minutes. 30 minutes? Oh, yeah. That's it? Or an hour if you want to.
Okay. Yeah, well, 30 minutes in just a restaurant and then 30 minutes. And then you're good? Yeah,
I think so. Really? Well, to me, yeah. I mean, yeah. Maybe I just didn't know the place, but
okay. Yeah. But there are many places, like interesting places to to walk around. Yeah.
I guess 南場. Right. Walkable. アメリカ村, if you want to. I've never, right. We talked about
that on the video, but I never got to, I don't know, so I should go. Yeah, you should go. You
should go. Right. Maybe a comedy show? Yeah. いいね。 Right? NGK. Yeah. What is that? 南場グランドカゲツ。
That's the name of the theater. Is that where the Yoshimoto people do their show? That one.
I would love to see that. Yeah, yeah. I've never seen a live comedy show. Yeah, you should. You
have to reserve a ticket. Got it. Okay. Have you seen it before? Ah, not yet. Okay. But I would
love to. Yeah, that's exciting. Because every time I try to do, the tickets are sold. So it's popular.
Yeah, every time. So you get to see popular people there, right? You get to see people that are on TV
there, right? Yeah, in some shows, yes. Got it. Or like, mainly, they have like, it's like
like two hours of two, three hours of show. You have like eight combis or trios. Okay. In one
one package. Okay. And two, three out of eight is like, I would say, very famous. Oh, like the
medama. Yeah. That come at the end. Yeah, yeah. Got it. Okay. So yeah. I see. You have to see the
dates. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Right. Okay. Yeah. But yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah.
It's in Namba, I guess. Namba? Namba. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, maybe go to Kobe.
京都の観光現状
Kobe? Yeah. If you want to something to, if you, if you want, like, places, like, more chill,
kind of. Oh, like the Bay Area? Yeah. Because Kobe is the Bay Area. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay. Yeah. Yeah, that's, that's considering. Maybe that's a good idea for a trip. It's like
Yokohama, I would say. You have Bay, you have like, kind of classic buildings and towns and
yeah. Got it. It's more like calm. Okay. Yeah. Posh, I would say.
You know, compared to Osaka, like, it's more like, you know.
It's just like Yokohama. Yeah. Yeah. They're proud. Yeah. They're proud to be a Yokohama citizen. Yes.
They say Yokohama instead of Kanagawa. Yes, yes. They say Kobe instead of Hyogo.
Yeah. Same, same dynamic. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, that's a, that's an idea. Got it. And you have
Shin-Kobe station for Shinkansen. Which is a Shinkansen station. Yeah. I'm not sure if it's
central Kobe or not. Just like Shin-Yokohama. Maybe it's a little far away from the central,
Got it. Can be an... Got it, got it, got it. Idea. In Kyoto, is there any like...
So, you've lived in Kyoto. Yeah. What would be the area that's like
Koukyuu? Koukyuu Jutakugai. Is there a Koukyuu Jutakugai in Kyoto?
Hmm. Koukyuu Jutakugai. Yeah. When you say Koukyuu Jutakugai, what's the image? Is it like...
Like the tower mansions. Oh, okay. So, they don't have tower mansions. It's prohibited.
It is prohibited? You cannot build like higher than, what, like 10, I guess? I thought that was
like only in the central part of Kyoto. Yeah, but there are not many, like, there are no tower
mansions outside of Kyoto. Like, you know, everybody want to live in a central. True.
Got it. Yeah. Well, you have few buildings around the Kyoto station, but other than that,
then how would they like... What would be like a high, high grade... How do they do it?
They don't? They have like, you know, they are like in, for example, Gion, they have,
you know, they are the road and you have like old... Yeah, then there are four, yeah. Yeah.
Those places are really, really expensive. Got it. So, it's like the, yeah, the old-fashioned
京都の伝統と現代
buildings. Yeah, but inside it's really like rebuilt and renovated. And it's rentable.
Yeah, some of them, yes. Got it. Yeah. Or if you want to something,
the house or hotels? No, I just want to see the city. Oh, okay. Yeah. So, you have the Kamogawa
and the riversides are like good places. Yeah, Kamogawa. Yeah. So, the rent is high.
They have expensive hotels. They have expensive restaurants. Okay. Yeah. Got it. Especially
northern, Sanjo, I would say, would be like expensive. Yeah. Sanjo. Yeah. Okay. Or the
district, Shirakawa-dori-zoi. Shirakawa-dori-zoi. Yeah. It's like, it's, well, it's in Gion,
basically, but try to walk around. You've got the Kyoto. Okay. You know. Here. I see. I see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like around, oh, that's, oh, that's, sorry, that's not what I meant.
It's, it's this, this one. Oh, this one? Shirakawa-suji. Here, around here. Gion-Shirakawa.
That's what I meant. Gion-Shirakawa. Yeah. That's a great place. Very beautiful. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You have sakura. Pictures are great. Yeah. Beautiful. You have like Ishidatami. I guess
it's not like futuristic Japan. No. It's more like traditional. Traditional style. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Aesthetic. Yeah. Got it. Got it, got it. If you want something futuristic, like neons and like
technology things. Yeah. There are not many things in Kyoto, I guess. Yeah. You should,
you should go to Osaka.
Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. Okay. Maybe.
Maybe you just have to stay in Tokyo. Oh, okay. Got it. Yeah. Because to me, Osaka is like,
more like good old vibe. I see. You know. I see. Not like futuristic of like technology
places, but more like. Got it. Ninja. People. Got it. More modern. Vibe. I see. Yeah. I see.
Got it. Okay, then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll see. I'll see what to do.
Yeah. Yeah. How many days you have? Like one, two days? Two days. Just two days. Yeah. One day is
gonna be Banpaku. Yeah. Another is gonna be Osaka. Yeah. So, like, I'm wondering, like,
should I stay in Osaka? Yeah. Or maybe there's not much to do, so I just move to Kyoto.
Or maybe just, maybe half a day, Osaka, and then a half a day with the deers. Deers, yeah? Yeah.
You love deers? I love deers. Oh. Yeah. Okay, okay. Then you should go to Nara, then.
But maybe you have to pass through Kyoto, I guess. Take trains, and, like, no, I don't know if there
are any, like, direct trains to Nara. From Osaka. It looks like there are, you know, like, it's just, you know, there's
cross. Yeah. Maybe. True. Yeah. So, we'll see. Yeah. We'll see. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right. Good, good. Thanks for listening, guys. Thank you. Bye-bye.
