Day in the Life of a Japanese Mechanic

A day in the life of Japanese Car Mechanic or more specifically a Japanese truck mechanic working at Isuzu Motors in Tokyo Japan. This is not your regular Japanese office worker job, but rather a Japanese blue-collar job in a Japanese auto garage. We get a glimpse of Japanese work culture and Japan working hours for a Japanese automobile mechanic. This life in Japan, follows Yuya from morning until evening to show what a typically does before and after working at the Japanese truck garage.

Yuta works as a SEIBISHI, in English, Mechanic. He attended a specialized 4 year professional school, Saitama Automotive University, earning a degree in car mechanics.
He was hired straight after graduation, common in Japan, and he’s been working with the company now for 3 years.

ISUZU Motors, one of the oldest automobile manufactures in Japan since 1916. These days, they’re best known for their commercial vehicles like trucks and buses. But Interestingly, the company itself started off as a department within a shipbuilding company which over many years transformed into the company we know today, with more than 36,000 employes and crowned the #1 truck seller in Japan

I can't believe no one mentioned anything about the story of him drifting his Supra in the mountains. Dude's a total legend

[maniacbra]

Respect to Isuzu for allowing filming on location, most Japanese companies are very wary when it comes to filming.

[MindfulMusic]

The pride and enjoyment they take in their work is phenomenal.

[markholub]

I love that in Japan, even a mechanic is seen as a professional trade. It is not seen as a lower income job but instead a job that somebody must do. Great respect.

[NERGYStudios]

That daytime nap is absolutely epic, the level of energy after a short daytime nap is insane.

[Patterrz]

he just naps on the floor like that, what a hero

[AP-qtmt]

From the first few seconds of this episode we already knew that this mechanic is a man of culture.

[MiguelTorres-erzw]

Japan is such an inspiring country, best example of dedication and professionalism. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

[Dayvit]

I swear there needs to be a Paolo in every country to make A Day in the Life there. These videos provide so much fascinating insight into people's daily lives and how it interacts with culture and law.

[DriverGuy]

The amount of respect between workers and customers is absolutely amazing in Japan. I wish the whole world was like this, it would be a better place.

[newyorkerjoe]

"A day in the life of ....", is the best shows ever happen on YouTube.
They always cheer me up, they are therapeutic, it is so wonderful and inspiring to follow the daily life of highly talented workers. Makes me want to do my best in my own job 🤗

[brettgalloway]

As a mechanic in America I’m jealous of all the nice equipment they have there and having the Bento boxes on hand. I used to live in Japan and have often thought about going back so that kinda made me want to go back even more seeing how nice clean stuff is as well as how disciplined everyone is in how they work and how they take care of their work environment. The crane in my shop has been broken for 6 years, I’ve ran into so many situations where I’ve needed that stupid crane but my company refuses to fix it.

[DamplyDoo]

Based on his apartment, he's a man of culture

[PaulAnthony]

I'm a mechanic with over 40 years experience on trucks and cars; I have to say I'm blown away by this workshop facility 👍👍

[neillhooper]

OMG Paolo, the amount of filming different angles & editing, all the censoring/blurring, this one was amazing to watch. The amount of work you put into it!!! thank you. I love this series! Well done mate!

[Bettereveryday]

As a Trucker in Canada this is very eye opening. Our service repairs aren’t as regular and not as detailed. Kudos to Japan

[MisisH]

Day in the Life! my favorite notification 😊🙌

[Harry_Fullick]

Cultured man, reading nagatoro for the whole world to see.

[ScarletShade]

Just showed this to my dad, who is a trained car mechanic in germany. He loved this "day in your life" and said it's really interesting how his job is done in japan :D

[jayrivera]

I’m amazed by how much work they get done in a day. The efficiency, precision, and dedication are inspiring.
