Nothing Sweeter Than This Moment
Chapters8
The family discusses starting the year with a temple visit and keeping health wishes in mind.
PewDiePie and family wander through Japan, squeezing in park visits, strawberry farms, snow, and playful moments, while plugging VPN and eSIM gear in a personable, vlog-style recap.
Summary
PewDiePie and his family embark on a multi-stop Japanese mini-adventure, sharing candid family moments and kid-friendly discoveries. Felix and Bern navigate temple visits, snowy towns, and a sunny day at a Shinkansen stop near Tokyo, while Ben chases a vacuum toy and flies a kite with dad. The vlog blends travel highlights with personal anecdotes, like debating why a park tree was cut down and savoring premium Japanese strawberries. Interspersed are light lifestyle segments, including pizza-like soba, a playful IT moment about VPNs, and a practical plug for NordVPN and an eSIM service to stay connected on the road. Creator and family dynamics shine through as they document everyday joys—snowy moments, strawberry feasts, and shared meals—capturing the rhythm of a family on the move in Japan. The pacing jumps between quiet family scenes and energetic kid antics, delivering a warm, intimate travel journal rather than a glossy guide.

[music] Guys, I got to move. I got the stomach flu after all. Everything's been washed. And then Bern was sick last night as well. So, got to stop eating off the ground. I guess we're doing hatsum. It's a tradition to go the first temple visit of the year. We're doing it the day late. Something about good health would be nice. [laughter] So, mine is about crossing bridges. So, if I'm at a bad spot right now, I will wait for the right time and and then pass through. What does yours say? Well, this is Bern. Oh, Bern.
A lot of temples don't keep the bad fortunes or like very minimal. So, I think we're okay at this one. Huh. Where's that carbon? I always think they don't like each other, but then I catch you guys sometimes. Huh? Bye-bye. Mama love this. Mama love this. Love this. Oh, mama love this. One, two, 10. We are back at Gin Dai for the second time. Should we wait as people now? Mama, is it closed? Mama. No, it's okay. What did you find? Okay. I never done this. Oh, wrong way. The other way. It's a lethal weapon.
We've been here a million times. We We never actually went to the gardens. Looks really nice. Maybe winter is not the time to go though. We'll see. This is crazy. So, this is all rose garden. Not [music] Oh, look at that fountain. [music] Look at this. Eating soba around New Year's is considered good luck too. Representing longevity and deliciousness. Benny like it. Good. Dad, I very like this. It's hot. Look. Thank you. One more time. customers. Yes. Yeah. Oh, what is that? Sushi. And then everyone was happy. The end. No, no, no. We said one week.
Okay. I want you guys to prove to me, no cheating. Are you connected to a VPN right now? You should always be connected to a VPN. What is a VPN? I'm glad I could be the one to tell you. It's [music] like a secret tunnel or gateway for you to the internet. If you're not using a VPN, that's basically like browsing the internet like this, more like this. And maybe you like that. [music] Maybe you don't care about anonymity, which you should. But then there's also a layer of safety. NVPN comes with threat protection. And also, of course, just in general, you should always use a VPN when you're connected to other Wi-Fi or using someone else's internet.
NordVPN has servers all across the world, so you're never compromised on speed. I That's why I can always leave it up and never think about it. They have military grade encryption and they have RAM only servers, which means that they are probably gajillionaires. It basically means that nothing gets stored beyond the reboot. NordVPN is your shield for the internet, and I get it. Not everyone cares about this stuff, but I genuinely feel like everyone should use one. It's one of those services that is so convenient and so easy. If you go to nordvpn.com/piepie, you get 4 months bonus and a huge discount.
With AI advancements, there are more and more cyber security issues. [music] That's why you should use a VPN. Trust the Nord. You can always trust the Nord. That's nordvpn.com/piepie. Thank you guys. It supports the channel. Link in the description. If you're sleepy, sleepy, sleepy, take it there. UFO. Hello. Take it all in. It's like I'm there. I can't believe how far we're driving for this.

We're quite far outside of Tokyo, but it's still so big here. It looks old as well. I like it. You fry your own and then they come out like this. Nan. Yes, we're going here at long last. We've driven far. We skipped naps, but we're excited. What is that? [laughter] That is so nice. They were like, "You'll get a sticker if you fill in the thing." And I was like, and then she gave it anyway. It's starting. It's starting. Wait, Finn. Wait, wait, wait. We have to wait for mama. [screaming] Okay. Where does Aaman Maf?
Oh yes. And aam eye. I Where does aaman I go? I go here. Really? Mama upstairs. Mama's upstairs. Are you farting? I've taught him when We're at Tokyo Tokyo Dome. This place is so sick. I haven't been in forever. They have the craziest place for kids here. Do you see the illusion? Oh, it looks so trippy. Did I break it? That's so cool. Wow, this place is crazy. D is happy to play in the locker room though. You got it. You got We do a, as you guys know, a week a monthly newsletter. And she made these uh sophini.

Biani approves. Where's Bernie? I haven't been here in so long. We used to come and as tourists all the time. He's a shark. Oh, so scary. And it's Yes. Who's that? Again, [screaming] the train stop. We're in Kazawa. We wanted to do a a simple Shinkansen trip cuz Bji likes trains so much. Sunny morning in Kazawa. We're going to explore, see what the city has to offer.
Bye-bye bus. Bye-bye bus. We are starting off at east side where they have a lot of these old buildings still preserved unlike in Tokyo where they keep tearing them down. Look at this. Well, I get to make my own matcha, which I didn't want to [music] do, but here we are. You get yourself a woman that can whisk your matcha for you. Oh, do you like your shinkas? Yeah, we are now at the castle park. There you go. Yes, that's right. And uh this is a very famous gardens we're going to explore. How old do you think that pine is?
All right, we're out of the park now. We got to find somewhere to eat. I was really hoping for a ciseria, but we missed the bus cuz I didn't really want a full sprint so I look silly in case I don't catch the bus. Then I didn't catch the bus. Okay, we are now leaving Kamazawa. Beautiful city. Really, really nice. Um, we're going to head back. Since we're going through the mountains, we figured we might as well stop somewhere with the Shinkansen and see some snow. So, we're going to do an early stop. Enjoy it soon.

Oh, that's a good question. Where did he get the rice from? I moved it. The mystery rice. Is that your vacuum beard? For reference, beard has been pretending everything is a vacuum.
