like mother like daughter 😆 hahah i’m glad you enjoyed my vlog 💕

I’m glad you had a good time! I find that as long as you’re polite and making an effort, most people in japan are endlessly kind. I lived in a city where I typically ran into other foreigners once a week max, so I was used to being the only foreigner around most of the time while I was there. And for the temple (Asakusa), that wasn’t actually a gift shop - it’s the temple store. Those are all omamori and other good luck charms and other Buddhist items. It’s normal for tourists to buy them and it doesn’t offend anyone at all when they do, but it’s not really just a momento. I own a bunch of omamori as well for good luck while traveling for example 😂

i’m definitely not surprised cause i kinda knew it was just the temple store after realizing what each bracelet meant but for some reason i defaulted to calling it the gift shop hahaha thank you so much!! 😊

I love the comments section everyone is so sweet

Glad you had a great time in Japan! Looking forward to your Korea vlog! FYI, Koreans generally stare a lot at foreigners 🫤. Please don’t think it is because of something you did 🥺

of course!! i have a somewhat extreme case of social anxiety so i always think the worst of situations when it’s most likely not the case and i’m trying really hard to work on that and not care so much about what others think of me 😊

You and your mom are such a wholesome duo!! This video was so relaxing to watch, I used this video to wind down from a long day! Keep up the amazing amazing work, Katie! I'm so excited for the S. Korea vlog now!!

Love the inclusion of your mom! Glad you had fun~ Japan is sooo much fun~ And really, Conbini food is so good! It's easy to just live on them!

you are exactly the mini version of your mom! so cute >

9:32 skip and loafer anime!! It’s so good

your mom is so cutee lol

I really feel you in the social anxiety department. When I went to Korea, I felt like I missed out on a lot because I was too scared to talk to anyone with the language barrier TT When you go back to Japan in Sept, I recommend checking out Shin-Okubo (Korea town) in Tokyo. When there's a Kpop concert going on, all the shops there tend to play that group's music and videos, so you'll probably see a lot of NCT!

Nice. This got me even more excited for my first trip in the fall. I got more ideas for places to visit. Also gotta try the iced matcha latte! Great tip about the filming. Actually I do not take much video but I take thousands of photos LOL so I will be more careful.

I lived in Japan when I was little and my brother was born there.IVE always wanted to to back as an adult so I remember more🙂

Yessss in korea stares are crazyyyyyyy and also how noone would sit next to you in the metro😂 koreans need to get use to now since seoul is becoming a huge tourist spot these days

Looks like you had an amazing time. The 7-11 food is so good ... I would just live off the onigiri, pan, and green tea. And what luck with BrightWin. When I was in Japan in January, I found out the day before that FirstKhaotung were doing a fan meet was able to find someone selling a ticket at the door. (I believe I heard you say once that you had BL channel. Could you let me know what it is? Would love to follow you on there too.) Can't wait to see about your time in Korea.

omg you got to see firstkhao?! so lucky!!! i hope i can see them one day 🥲 but yes i do have a second channel that i mainly talk about bls on~ it’s: katieszl2 😊 (i also put the link to it in my about section if that’s easier)^^

the social anxiety is sending me. what a mood

That large store in Osaka is a part of the Don Quixote (Donki for short) national chain stores in Japan. They’re the kind of stores that buy overstock/salvage from other stores, IIRC. Most aren’t as big as that one, hence the Mega in the name. Also the bigger cities, especially Tokyo, are used to foreigners which is why you wouldn’t attract much attention. Tokyo is also very tourist friendly so you can get by easily with just English. Also just a heads up, but the stadium you’re going to is kinda out there without much around it. I went there in 2009 for a-nation and the train station was so packed after the concert ended. I ended spending some time browsing a nearby 7-11 waiting for the crowds to die down a bit before trying to catch a train back.

How was the weather? Was it so hot and humid? Im going to visit this coming June! Enjoyed your vlog! ❤❤❤

the pokémon card tv show was just a morning tv they always change the theme :3

Long story short: Japanese 7/11's are lit 😂 also Katie and her mom are so cute 💕

hi. want to ask what date you and your mom went to japan? we planned to go there end of may till early june. is it raining a lot at that time?

Can you do a cost breakdown? I’d like your ticket and Airbnb and all that?

What pocket wifi do you used? Thanks

Hi there ,I am going to Japan mid June, was the rain a big issue for you, In terms of exploring Japan?I am kind of regretting booking for June now. 😢

I took Jeju air to Korea this July too~~~~(Japanese really don't speak English haha

What days did u go? Im going on june but im scared it will rain a lot

is it rainy a lot in June in japan?

cool

When did you go in June? Did it rain alot in June?

June is said to be a rainy season, can I ask you how bad it was? you see many claims it is terrible, so I want to ask you has it been raining a lot in Japan while you went there?

Would never speed up your blabs. I love it 😆

🙌🙌

The Korea stares comment made me laugh it’s not u gurl they look at everyone like that 🤣 U could be doing the craziest thing in public in Japan and ppl will try their best not to look
