#SEGA releases a "Return to Dobuita Street" promo video for #Shenmue ft. @AdamKoralik and @imranyusuf

With the release of Shenmue I and II next month, SEGA is going full steam ahead on the promo! In their latest video, YouTuber Adam Koralik and standup comedian Imran Yusuf travel to Japan to walk in the real world location of Dobuita from Shenmue.

SEGA’s video overview:

From convenience stores to vending machines, the open-world of Shenmue still bears resemblance to the bustling and lively real…

Visiting the real locations of Shenmue

I was deliberating over whether to share these pictures or not with you guys, since they’re not car related, but I hope some of you will appreciate them. These are from my trip last weekend to Dobuita Street and other areas of Yokosuka.

I’m a huge fan of a game called Shenmue. If you don’t know it, it was a Sega Dreamcast game that was released nearly 20 years ago and takes place in Yokosuka, Japan. Aside from car culture, Shenmue is probably another reason I ended up living in Japan.

I love visiting Yokosuka, it’s probably one of my favourite places in Japan. It’s such an atmospheric place, and the Shenmue feels are off the chart. I love the old buildings and the way they rise up into the hills. I love the old, narrow snack bar streets which haven’t changed since the 80s and the mess of exposed power lines overhead. If you ever get a chance, and you’re interested in the atmosphere of 1980s and 90s Japan, I highly recommend visiting.
