Chris Abroad
British vlogger in Japan exploring food, inns, hot springs and local culture
Culture & PeopleAbout Chris Abroad
Chris Abroad is a British creator living in Japan who started the channel on 2016-09-04. The channel has grown to around 618,000 subscribers and has accumulated just over 30.2 million views across 47 videos. Content mixes travel vlogs, hotel and hot spring stays, studio and ramen shop tours, live shows and playful collaborations with other creators. Videos range from short, punchy pieces to longer explorations and reviews, all presented with a candid, humorous voice and a focus on Japan's local culture, food and oddities.
Expect a cheeky, on-the-ground British take on Japan that swings between useful travel guides and entertaining personality pieces. We find the channel great for learning where to stay, which onsen to book, and which Kyoto bars feel like home, with standout viewing like "10 Most UNDERRATED Things in Japan" that mixes insight and laughs. The creator frequently invites fellow YouTubers for lively collabs, and occasional live shows and studio tours add variety. Uploads are modest, roughly one every two months, so each video tends to feel curated rather than churned out.
