Japan is very beautiful, its people are very sweet and beautiful 😭🇯🇵

I just got back from a solo trip to Japan. I love how there isn't a stigma of eating at restaurants by yourself like in the US and other places

Just got back home from my 2 week solo tripp to Japan. I already want to go back. I loved it. Please appreciate the moments!@@matchapjm

I did a solo trip to Japan this past January. Some days I felt like doing a lot of exploring, 30k steps minimum and some days I felt like laying in bed all day. I could eat whenever I wanted to and as much as I wanted to without having to care for others. The true freedom you have in such a beautiful and safe country like Japan is a unique experience that is unlike anything I have felt before. I never once felt a hint of loneliness. Japan is a country catered so well for individuals that it is widely accepted that people do things by themselves. Solo trips are in my opinion super underrated and more people need to spread their wings and experience it. I'm going back again next January for another solo trip.

Ive seen so many " i went to japan" videos. But this one is by far the best. It makes me wanna go so badly

Wonderful video. We were in Tokyo about the same time. I think your first few days were my last few days. I lived there in Japan in the 90s and now go back every year or two when they don't lock down the country. Very enjoyable walk and calm video. I look forward to watching more.

I went to Japan in August for three weeks and had a magical time. I am now moving there in September for a year and I can't wait!

same but havent planned anything cause im super busy in the next 2 weeks, could you reply with any itinerary if you make one?

I went for a week to Osaka. first time out of the country. I'd say it was overwhelming, fantastic, friendly, & fun. I was greeted and welcomed I never was "alone" but for some reason, in this country at times I felt lonely. although the people were polite, respectful, and would help if they could; it felt they were reserved or shy. it was peaceful in a way but also a lot of reflection. I was between serenity & sorrow. I liked learning their social norms and felt myself missing that culture coming back to America.

i also did my solo trip last month (mar 7-24) and i have to say, knowing when the rush hour and the time where it is crowded is the key i stayed in narita airport rest house during my first and last days so that i would be prepared. i'm starting to regret eating breakfast. if i have known jonathan in my second hotel, i would have gone there very early in the morning via keisei skyliner to akihabara. i could have dodged the rush hour by going at 5am also, knowing the time frame of the luggage delivery is key for more than 2 check in bags. air canada limits me to one check in, so i could have dodged doing luggage delivery if i wanted to, and i did that from kyoto back to tokyo. my seat is limited on the green car though, but i was still able to secure the seat where i can see mt fuji. also the time i was going back to tokyo was the time kyoto snowed the night before and earthquake happened. although my bullet train didn't stop in nagoya, so that was... there are some places i still haven't explored, so people staying in tokyo longer is too much, oh my gosh

Hey love the video

Yeah, I am not waiting more than 1 hour for food. Especially when I have it all mapped out: Breakfast: Konbini - 7/11, Lunch: Food Stand OR Restaurant with no line. Diner: Ichiran Ramen OR restaurant with no line OR Kinbini - 7/11. Followed by snacks and midnight snacks at a vending machine and 7/11.

日本人としてあなたの日本旅が成功したことをとてもうれしく思います。これからもまた日本に来てください。ありがとう。💪💪💪💪💪

Great video, I love Japan and have a spent a few months there myself. I still consider Tokyo one of my favourite cities. I encourage everyone to visit Tokyo at least once, for me personally it’s that standard that all other cities are judged against. Some points you made that I also agree with; - food and service standards in Japan and Tokyo especially are incredibly high. I never went to a place where I needed to wait more than 15 to 20 minutes and the food was still at a significantly higher standard than back home in Toronto. - I avoided owl and cat cafes because I feel like they are a little exploitative and perhaps the animals are stressed with large crowds. - I would also mention to book TeamLab tickets well in advance similar to Shibuya Sky

Thanks for the Video. Really scratch my itch for travel to Japan.

Wow Great 👍👍

I’m gonna be going Japan for the first time at the end of the year. I’d love to know more about what you took with you and what you brought back. There’s so much cool stuff to buy but it almost seems overwhelming not to mention how it must be lugging it all around during your stay. Also flying out of Canada so those checked bag fees r def gonna add up with Air Canada 😭

Great Job! I'm going to Japan for my first time next month. I was planning to stay in Asakusa as well but I don't see that station on the Yamanote Line. Did some googling and from what I read it is not part of that line. Did you find it difficult to get around while staying there?

@@DaphneXplores I don't think there is a place called Asaksa. I just think people pronounce Asakusa but without the u thus sounding like Asaksa. That being said I decided not to stay there. I'm going to stay somewhere directly on the Tamanote Line

Great video! I'm planning a solo trip myself, partly because I've never traveled abroad on my own and I kinda feel that doing so is a maturing experience. Do you speak Japanese? How did you navigate and order things at restaurants if you don't speak the language?

@DaphneXplores

16 күн бұрын

I don’t speak Japanese, but because they have so many tourists there’s usually signage and information available in English, so it was totally fine getting around. I think it only becomes more challenging if you get out into the countryside, but even then I don’t think it’s impossible to figure out with a bit of help from translating apps! Good luck!

Just wondering how much time you spend doing your videography, how much of your day is taken up searching for the right viewpoint or waiting for the right moment, when you're traveling in Japan (or anywhere). There's so many of these Japan travel videos these days, and as someone who's lived intermittently there, to be honest I felt here's yet another, but was pleasantly surprised at the skill of your work, your composition and filming in general and also the narration, so I have to wonder, is it also your day job?

I like your video

I was in Japan exactly one year ago today 😔

Nice video! However, you do realize that if you went from Sapporo to Fukuoka is 1240km by road, (not even including Okinawa), you could go from London to the Ukrainian border? It's a big nation.

Hi I need help planning a trip. Do you have any tips?

How much did you spend all togaether?

I wonder how much of the cost to take such a trip to Japan?

Can I ask what do you do for living? How do you get money for traveling?

Kudos for pronouncing Asakusa properly!

I love eating at Japanese place but I 100% agree 3 hour wait is not only ridiculous its disrespectful to the customers esp to famous restaurants who do this for many years, they should either improve the waiting system or look for a bigger place to rent.

Another excellent video of Asia, i suggest Malaysia next, maybe George Town...
