On this episode of You Be Trippin, Che Durena takes Ari Shaffir deep into Japan—and not the tourist brochure version. With the help of the coolest local guide, Che bounces between underground Japanese wrestling matches, late-night neighborhood bars, and Tokyo Drift–level illegal car meetups. By day, Che soaks in the culture. By night, he learns about Japan’s niche nightlife, including a place where you can rent a “Japanese girlfriend” experience, and a seven-story adult store packed with toys and figurines. Through all of it, Che eats the best food of his entire life. Sayonara!
