കൊടും തണുപ്പത്ത്‌ വന്ന് പെട്ടു - Shopping in Japan & ANA Flight to Sapporo | Japan in Winter

This is awesome I have turned to a snow man Look at the flight Look at the way it is snowing It is time to say bye to Tokyo Saying bye to the room we stayed in all these days Today we are going to Sapporo, North Japan Before that I have some shopping. It's my last day in Tokyo Today also the weather is bad It has been like this the last 2-3 days Can see some smoke on top of the hotel. No idea why We are having breakfast from Sessils house He is waiting downstairs Will have breakfast, then some s

hopping and my flight is at 7pm Can see people having breakfast at the restaurant As I have shown earlier, 1km to walk to the lobby from my room I checked the distance. It is 1km. Not joking Didnt you get an invisible umbrella. I see that as a trend here Not invisible. I meant transparent People here use transparent umbrellas Today it is cold, foggy, rainy etc What a climate Good bye to Otani hotel It is 3 deg C and is given feels like -1 deg C We come to a place at the outskirts of Tokyo Now w

e are going to his house Not only Keralites, but you have many Indians here in Japan They are living in different styles Some in houses and some in flats Sesil bought this house It is a residential area with narrow roads But people are very disciplined and I dont see any rush anywhere We can see many new houses in this area You can see old houses too Some of the old houses are reconstructed. That is what you see here Nearly 10 houses are under construction Looks cute. We see different residentia

l areas in different countries What we see in Europe and UK are entirely different There you dont find anything congested. Everything is spacious there You see it in another way at Russia Different in our country People live in a different way in each country Most of the houses here are compact This is in 3 floors. Sometimes the house may be in 1 cent Land is very expensive here Another house behind this and next to it This is his house Nice. How many floors is it? 3 floors A 4 bedroom house in

3 floors Nice I can smell the aroma We have seen ganja plants grown at home But here he is growing curry leaves He has planted curry leaves in many pots It will die if kept out in winter So they kept it inside during winter We take care of it like our kids You dont get them here Someone gave it to us Nice house. 3 floors with 4 bedrooms You have enough space. I thought it would be very small But you have space for everything They use another material for construction. Not concrete or brick This

is the same thing I saw at Ireland too In New Zealand also I saw houses were built like this only They would have done it like this to demolish and re use again They are ready made materials Are these earthquake friendly? Yes Nice bedroom This is spacious. I thought it would be small This is a cupboard It is built in 3 floors Kitchen, living area and dining area comes in the 2nd floor That is his wife. Say a hi Say hi my boys He says that the kids watch our Mt Fuji video often I could feel the a

roma from outside itself She is cooking mutton and chicken Didnt I come for breakfast? Looks like lunch preparations We shall have a brunch and leave Appam, tapioca, duck curry Mutton, chicken stew, Thank you so much. Awesome An awesome breakfast It was nice inside the house. It is cold outside and is raining too Had food. Now we have some shopping to do It is a holiday at Japan today All are free. Like a Sunday for us Let us see how it is outside We have come to a store in Japan like Ikea Came

for a window shopping Let us see how is their home accessories and things here The main highlight here is that people live in a compact space So their furniture and other things come in a compact size The cot and chairs would all be small People here are also the same Let us check them out. If there is anything I can buy, I shall You find more of furniture here Kitchen and kids area This is a gaming area Accessories and other things for it Bags and office related products This may be a living a

rea A small area Small cabinets here See how small the furniture are We cannot even accept this. What would we keep in this? You can only keep small things They try to do the maximum in their limited space It would be this cabinet in this box This is how it comes Small cots Would they have king size? Which is their double bed? If they have the space to put a king size cot, they they would be well off Storage space boxes You can see differnt kinds of boxes A stand to keep and work on the bed You

have storage space cots like this I have bought one of this kind from Ikea We can store maximum things in it This is a different kind of bed here You can see different kinds of beds here A recliner kind. I am not sure if this is for people who are bed ridden You can use them anyways you want They are used to sleeping on the floor There are such traditional hostels too here Hotel and hostels that dont use beds but people sleep on the floor I had seen such a Japanese traditional hotel last time So

fa sets like we use in our place Our corner sofas are big. These are small compact ones All these fall in their big size categories 1.5lakh Yen for this Cute sofas that come in 8 colours All for a living room I liked that red. Is that blood red? A blackish red like. Looks like leather Cute design I think this is a place for accessories It is same like Ikea A place where you get lights, kitchen accessories etc Look at those mirrors Small mirrors You just have to buy and fix them Small tape record

er like ovens They are so small Small washing machine of 6kg Small refrigerator Small double door and other types too That is not an oven. It is a toaster I came to this store just to buy this I was in search for this since long It is expensive for a good quality one there Nearly 3500 and Amazon showed it as 2500 It is just 1000 here and good quality It is made in China A shampoo dispenser that can be kept near the shower You can put shampoo, shower gel and conditioners in it Did you ask them? B

oth are magnets How do we put it on a wall It is usually kept on these surfaces. Cant be drilled? Oh! It stands like that That is difficult. We may have to drill it. Let me see what can be done You have many products like these and more what Japanese use If you want, you can buy what you want I found good spoons and forks here It is mentioned as Made in Japan and looks very good I took two sets Reusable straws too Rishi can use it to drink water or juice. They are steel straws I checked some kit

chen products. All are magnetic products I dont think they use tiles in the bathroom Nothing is screwed here. I dont think they do that They have many things. But difficult for us to use Abhi has been asking for one like this for his room It is somewhat like a time piece. Now everything is digital You can set the time and have a snooze option If you place your phone over this, it gets charged Since it has a case, it isnt getting charged. At night it has a light The light goes off after a while I

bought this digital small clock I am not working. I am billing the stuffs I bought We can bill it ourselves Just small things. We may get them in our place too Buying something for them after travel make both them and me happy My house is full of international products Only we are Indians in there. Rest everything is from outside We can say that this is from Japan We are going from one shop to the other We are at the side of a building called Tokyo Interior This is also a home accessory shop. T

he climate is very bad Very cold and rains This is a huge shop. Just like a shopping mall. Awesome I have to shop and shoot videos too I have just little time left and not much Look at these products. More of fancy ones Home decors more what Japanese like Room fresheners There are soap dispensers here too. But they are magnetic I dont think they have anything such as fixing screws Disappointed Finally I took this This is not magnetic. It is to stick using a film book They say we can stick it on

the tiles too Designed in Japan and made in China This costs around 1200 INR I feel it is a good product I have taken them for all our bathrooms It is written on it We shall fix them in the bathroom We would have seen these People who have less space can use this to dry briefs and socks You have individual clips on it. Good quality ones It is not spring but another technology Lot of colourful things here I have taken this too. Small things dont have much weight too We are going to Costco It is a

wholesale supermarket You come here to buy things home Do you get it cheaper when you buy in bulk? We are going there to have food and to buy a black car for Rishi This time he has asked for a black car We have come to Costco. He has taken a big trolley to shop for his house They are open from 10am-8pm I have packed all that I bought This is a big place This is nice. You need a car to come here It is like a warehouse Everything has to be purchased in bulk quantity Only then do we get a discount

Even Calvin Klein soaps are for sale It is crowded here They have TV's We used to see Sharp company tv earlier. Not sure about it now You get everything here, but more basic. Nothing to heat up the place You have to wear your jacket and come It is a raw warehouse Nice place. Many Japanese come here to shop We see these at many countries Just 2300 INR for 13 blades and this razor That is very reasonable Diapers are low in cost here. I think cheaper than in India People are standing in queue to s

hop This is the queue to go down and shop A full warehouse like Ikea Good concept. Get things in bulk and sell in a discounted rate to public Look at people coming in a queue. You can see the rush here I am surprised seeing this shop You have vegetables, grocery and liquor down here They are selling these also in wholesale I have not seen any store like this earlier Wholesale vegetables sold here Awesome. Look at the asparagus This places is a wow factor to me I am first time seeing something li

ke this I have heard of a store called Metro like this at Bangalore But I have never gone there and so dont know about it See how many people are shopping from here They are standing in a queue and maximum crowd controlling Costco is an American brand They are running a business by taking membership and selling products If you pay 1000, you get a year's membership You can shop how many ever times you want. You get them on a discounted rate Only if you are their member, you can bill things from t

here That is the strategy they follow I think Costco is available at 7-8 countries including US 15% is their normal profit range Since they do direct whole sale purchase, they get things at a discounted rate Costco takes a small profit and sells it to the public at a cheaper rate It would have been good if it came to India and helpful for people like us D-Mart is there in India. They dont have membership, but is somewhat like this They have less staffs here Since that is also less here, they can

pay less salary and do more business We are going under the sea I thought it was a building in the middle of the road Are we crossing under the sea now? Nice We are going through a long tunnel We are crossing Tokyo Bay Last time did I go on a monorail over this? That is on the other side We are going under this sea through an underpass I hope another bridge comes over the flyover and metro in Edapally Might come On the left you have the sea and on the right is the airport We are going through a

nother tunnel to reach the airport This tunnel is called Haneda tunnel Like you see in London and Heathrow, ANA flight is parked there ANA, inspiration of Japan See how close to the road. This is the footpath, that is the airport and the flight I have reached the airport. Shall meet when I come with my family Swetha, Rishi and myself will be coming soon Thank you so much My flight is at 7pm We have reached the terminal 2 of Tokyo airport Shall drop my bag Shall collect my boarding pass before th

at Shall drop my bag after that Finally I got my boarding pass. I had gone to the manual checkin counter for this We are flying by ANA They are a Star Alliance member too After few more travels, I will reach some membership level of Star Alliance When you scan your boarding pass, you get a security certificate like this I think Santary has coffee also other than whiskey In 5mts I could get my boarding pass, drop my bag and finish security check too This the domestic terminal of Tokyo Internatio

nal airport See how easily we got in. My gate number is 62 Here the gate closes only 10mts before time The gate closes only 10mts before travel In our place, it is 25mts We are going to Sapporo in this Boeing 777 ANA is All Nippon Airlines that come under Japan Airlines We have reached the 62nd gate Cannot see anybody here It is 6.15 and the flight is at 7pm People are yet to come. Today the flight is full too I think at least 300 can fit in Boeing 777 Here people come just 30mts before the flig

ht leaves They close the boarding gate only 10mts before time So they can come that late. Our flight is there. ANA Boeing 777 Just 1hr flying. It is like flying a dream liner from Kochi to Bangalore Just 1hr flying from here to Sapporo. They have that many passengers That is why they are having a big flight here It is 6.40pm and boarding has begun I am in group 5. Only if the first 4 gets over, I can get in See how fast their boarding is happening. People are just walking in Scan your barcode an

d get inside Nobody to tear or check your boarding pass. Everything is happening very simple That is how domestic flying takes place That is how it happens for international flights too It is at this Haneda airport that a Japan Airlines met with an accident An army aircraft and Japan airlines collided. All in the flight survived. The flight caught fire at the end But the army men lost their lives That accident took place in this airport When the flight met with an accident, all jumped out Nobody

stayed to take their bag or anything else That is whey they could survive Let us board the flight We shall get in last after all get in I bought an ANA boeing 787 This is the one with a toy tractor I will think whether to let Rishi play with it or keep it safe I bought one more so that I can give Rishi one This is the small one. I bought both of them from the airport There was an ANA store there When you scan your boarding pass, you get a slip I dont know why do they give us this Got one from t

he security check too Now I got one more. Totally 2 slips now We are going to get in. See how fast the people have got in. There is business class, premium and economy here This is a big flight. My seat is 22H I cannot shoot anything in here. It is night and I didnt get a window seat This is my seat Last time I had taken Japan Airlines This is ANA I think this is the first time I am traveling with ANA It is a huge flight. Seen it 3/4/3 configuration It is very spacious. There is a mobile charger

here There is a display too being a domestic flight Sometimes they may be flying this in international sectors too These many people got in and the flight has pushed back on time Good I bought this thing You can keep your mobile like this and use it You can keep it both the ways It is -5deg C outside That was a wonderful landing. It was slippery It is -8 deg C outside I am going to get out at -8 deg C People here get in and out the flight in full speed This was the business class This looks lik

e how we saw at Kazakhstan. It is full of snow. Since there is heating system inside the airport, we wont feel the cold much This is the airport here This is the arrival side and that is the departure side Look at the flight All were taking pictures of the flight like me It is written welcome at the place of collecting the bags It is written in Hindi too My friend Nidheesh is waiting outside Last time when we went to Okinawa, there was a big board to welcome us He wrote welcome back boss on his

display We met last time at the same time at Okinawa Tomorrow we are going to have fun. Sapporo airport is 40mts away from the city This airport is in a place called Chitose We shall take a normal train and go to Sapporo town first You have trains from here to the town till 9.45pm You have the rapid airport express train here You have reserved and non reserved seats You can see snow or ice underneath the train The train may leave. Let us get in from here. It leaves only at 9.20pm Does this trai

n go through the snow? Can see snow all along the bottom side The train left and has stopped at the next station The platform is full of ice We have stopped at another station and it is snowing here Beautiful I think even the engine doesnt make sound Looks like a soundless train I dont have a cap too Awesome. Our train has left Just walked a bit and my jacket is full of snow. I will look like a snow man now Looks amazing. Is this Christmas time? It wasnt like this when I came last time Winter is

supposed to get over by now. I dont know why is it like this. Looks like winter has extended world wide Abhi is waiting to catch a train to Kashmir I got out of a train Japan while it is snowing You are going to Kashmir and I am in Japan This is not a shut down station. It is snowing here This is not Sapporo station but one before that Should catch a train from here and go Today is a train journey night for us Got into a subway train The train is moving very fast It is long. I cannot see till t

hat end Can see it swaying and is fast too. Looks like less crowd because it is night See how we are struggling Heavy snowfall here We bought food and drinking water and are going to the Airbnb we booked Heavy snowfall here Should have taken a taxi from the airport But it is far and very expensive That is why we took the train option If we had taken a taxi, we wouldnt have struggled like this But it is ok. Having little bit of struggle is ok It is snowing in my mouth too Thought it is snowing at

night, good vibe It is so empty here I guess all are inside because it is snowing This is a tram route Look at this Can see the snow falling on the camera from the light onwards I would have missed this if I didnt come to Sapporo this time I have turned to a snowman Full snow over me All this time I was pulling my box on wheels We can roll it if the surface is like this But all this time, I had to pull it I am tired and I cannot see anything properly too An amazing feel I hope I dont fall ill t
