I expect nyathing less from our Martina ❤️😹

Maaaan, every time I watch one of your Tokyo Tours videos, I always find myself thinking, damn, how come Martina isn't one of the top-rated, most subscribed Japantubers? Because you REALLY deserve to be. I know it's an overused word when describing content creators these days, but your content is just so... comfy! You're so much more intimate than other Japantubers, really making it feel like we've come along with you to your destination and are right there by your side, chillin' hard and eatin' good. It's like we're not just watching your videos, we're EXPERIENCING them! And the little quizzes and such, along with the super-chillaxed lo-fi beats that accompany them, really help punctuate the experience. Normally when I comment, I recommend places I've been to as well for you to check out, or I timidly issue small corrections (I can't help it, I'm an editor, I'm sorry!), but this time around... I got nothin'! I just wanted to write a comment and tell you that you're awesome as always, I need to check out this cat temple sometime for sure, and I look forward to the next video. Keep on keepin' on!

oh HO! What a high compliment from an editor. Behind the scene info: we exported 5 version of this one all these weird tiny export errors from colour correction to spelling mistakes, to one section that I felt needed more voiceover. It was a bit of longer process on this one, but glad we caught all the mistakes. I think we did, at least 😅

@@KingKogi Oh, I should've specified, I'm not a video editor, I'm a localization specialist -- I do Japanese to English translation and editing. So video mistakes are less likely to catch my eye, but grammar, spelling, or pronunciation errors? I will always catch them, whether I want to or not! I actually did catch a couple minor issues with this video, even (specifically, you repeatedly referred to Sangenjaya as "Sen"genjaya), but I didn't think they were worth mentioning in my initial comment, since they just seemed like kind of a personal accent sort of thing, you know? We all have our little quirks that way, and such minor slips of the tongue more add personality to the final video than anything else. Either way, I felt compelled to comment, because your videos are just so damn chill and fun! So thanks again. May the Crod be with you, always! ;)

Listen, Martina: thank you for always thinking of a variety of challenges folks have - down to the distance you walked. I haven't seen other guides that include sensory issues! Thank you for seeing us and for building a better world for travelers. You rock. 💕😻

You are so welcome! I think a lot of travel videos are unrealistic, to be honest. They’re made to look pretty and perfect. But I don’t want to make “the perfect” edited fake video. I want to share a REAL slice of travel life. When I have a rough pain day, my whole sensory experience is messed up. I get overwhelmed by loud noises, feel actually scared by sudden noises. I know I can’t be alone in these experiences, so I wanted to share some safe spots and the reality of travel with these Tour videos. I hope it can help!

It would be exciting to reach a larger audience just for the sake of sharing more of this off-the-beaten path Japan! There is just SOOOO much of Tokyo to explore outside the normal spots, I wish people knew! But I'm also not sure I'm everyone's cup of tea haha I do have a strong personality 😅

Just what I needed on a bad pain day, a new King Kogi! Thanks, Martina! You never fail to cheer me up!

Fellow Canadian/Torontonian - my husband and I are visiting late March/April. Thank you so much for all of your tours Martina. You are such a light and I am absolutely obsessed with the King Kogi mascot. Keep up the great work

Never stop doing these Tours! I watch them on my treadmill and imagine I am walking along with you exploring. There are plenty of walking videos where the walker just walks silently with a camera but not many videos where the walker chats and tells you about where you are walking. I want to feel like I am there with a friend and learning about the area. Thank you for making these great tour videos and being so funny and lively!

Love the tips for people who need to get a breather from the busier parts of Tokyo

Thank you so much for the amazing tips for us folks with anxiety. I got stuck on a subway in asakusa during rush hour and it was...an experience

I was watching this and my partner walked behind me and stopped to say, "Look at her. Look at her thriving and being happy." He's used to me watching your videos. We're so happy to see you doing well. Absolutely loved the video and the vibes! Enjoyed the cat puns and the little quizzes are so cute!

I love how much Japan embraces the cuteness 😻

There's something about the way Martina says "coffee" thats to die for 🌸🌸🌸

My fiancé and I are planning to honeymoon in Japan. Your guides are going to be awesome for us! So excited for a chance to visit places seen in your tour videos!

Hello Martina and friends! Popped here to gush about cats because... Cats. But the hugely warm positive number of comments here is so wonderful and...well...warming! My soul is so cozy! Thank you kind people! You made me smile as much as Martina did! ❤️🐱❤️🤗

when you upload a new video i always get a warm snack and cozy and comfortable to watch, it's like hanging out with an old friend, i'm glad to see you having fun and being silly and enjoying good food Martina, keep on keeping on!

You are glowing! This quality of this Tokyo tours is the best yet and I’m so jelly of your denim jacket 💛 Also ever since you’ve mentioned that every city has an underground sticker scene, I’ve noticed that my city’s mystery sticker goes by “Nomad.” It’s hidden behind every stop sign and traffic post.

Thank you for this Martina. Been mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted with work (am a nurse) and this video was perfect to escape to.

We really enjoyed Gotokuji. It was so peaceful and pretty! We didn't consider taking the tram though, which seems way more chill than the train! It might be worth going back to try that bakery! ❤

❤️🥰 I was never interested in visiting Japan until watching your videos. You really draw out the magic ✨

Your delivery during the video and the voice overs are just perfection. I am sure you work so so so hard at it but it sounds effortlessly friendly and conversational. I really appreciate how clear and real you are. Will definitely check out the guide.

Love these videos. Somehow I always end up watching these at night. Thanks for the video!!

was just there 2 days ago….i stopped by a sweet potato store and a red bean cake/pastry place😋 such a nice neighborhood

I have contamination OCD. I haven't stayed in a hotel in over a decade. There are places I'd like to go (especially Japan), but just can't. I love your videos so much. Thank you for being you. 💕

This is such a quality and calming video! I'm so impressed with how you improved your camera work and editing since you started King Kogi channel. (And I love that Sailor Moon jacket! 😺)

I have been watching your content for years, and am finally going on my first ever trip to Japan at the end of the year. I've also got a progressive disorder that affects my walking, Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, so get very anxious when visiting new places. You have made me feel less afraid about going there and exploring, so thank you! I'm absolutely getting all of your guides before I go because I find myself getting too overwhelmed when trying to figure out where to go/what to do 💝

Hi Martina!! Because of you I knew about this beautiful temple and was able to visit today.

The tram ride reminded me of the first (and only lmao) time I went to Fukuoka. I looked up beaches to visit and found one almost at the end of a line. You then had to walk through a quiet residential neighbourhood and then on the other side of that you needed to find a break in the trees and a dirt path leading through a short woodsy area and on the other side of that was an absolutely gorgeous beach with only about 10 people on it. 9 of them were surfers and then there was some dude sunbathing further down, it was brilliant!

Thank you so much for including a vegan & gluten free guides. It's a long-term dream to visit Japan (I am just deathly afraid of flying and poor so it's not happening anytime soon) and ever since going vegan I have been super stressed about how I will make it work. I used to be more flexible with what I eat but since I started reacting negatively to eggs and milk I have been wondering how I would even make it work. Meanwhile, my friend I'd love to take that trip with cannot eat gluten, which complicates it further. Knowing there's a guide like yours takes so much stress of my shoulders ;__; thank you for thinking about us!

Season 2 is off to an amazing start ^^ I love this series so much! This was such a chill tour. I love your Sailor moon jacket!!! I need that in my life! Anymoo, your videos always brighten my day

The word "tempura", or the technique of dipping fish and vegetables into a batter and frying them, comes from the word tempora, a Latin word meaning "times", "time period" used by both Spanish and Portuguese missionaries to refer to the Lenten period or Ember Days (ad tempora quadragesima) (Wikipedia)

You're giving me life today! Thank you for your inclusivity and positivity! My disability has been getting me down lately, but it helps to have a role model who shows us that you can still live your (best!) life while including some accommodations. Now I have to go find a job! (I have permanent memory loss - my disability steals my memories. And the worst part is, I caused it myself, so it's my own fault.)

I like that the cat sound question actually taught you something with every option

And there is a free Japan to English translation explanation for allergies and food limits provided at the beginning of the guide, so even if you don’t buy it, you can use that part.

Thanks for sharing the detailed traffic information so I just found out my stay is somewhere close. Otherwise, I wouldn't think of going that way to the temple. Now, I'm adding it onto my MUST GO list. Thanks again, captain!
