Paolo fromTOKYO Hey Paolo, I love your Tokyo guide videos.. the recent 101 things to do video was amazing! As for “away from Tokyo guides” I think a Kyoto or Osaka video would be great! Both places interest me and look amazing / beautiful for their own reasons. Thank you for the amazing Tokyo content, I can’t get enough of your videos!

LOVED NIKKO! It was cold and i remember i ate an amazing tempura udon. The view, even the rain(yeah it was raining that day) the people there,the shrine and the path to go there ....MAGICAL. 100%RECOMMENDED.
Great video!! SOOO KEWL!!! I'm adding Nikko to my Japan visit list! Thanks, Paolo/Maiko!!
Paolo you’re timing is always on point! I’m heading to Japan in 3 weeks time and Nikko is in my itinerary! Thank you for posting this, its amazing! I can’t wait! 🙌🏼 Love from New Zealand ❤️
Loving your videos and your wonderful positive outlook on life,. Thank you!
Love your videos! Such a happy positive and articulate person
"Away From Tokyo Guide"... This is the Best review ever. Thank you very much.
Wow this place looks amazing! Thank you for doing such a good tour. The gorge walking would be very cool. I love seeing natural and historic Japan- Nikko is now a must visit for my trip next year
Thanks for posting, I am going to Nikko this spring, can t wait to see everything you showed
Wow, i have been there first time as school trip 50 years ago and 10 year a go i want to go again now. Thank you for showing us.
The Toshogu shrine looks beautiful in the mist! Japan is a humid country, so seeing the fog and rain is a realistic view of the experience. Love your videos!
Hey Kids - I loved this video. I think I will plan a trip to Nikko just for the Pork Katsu. So very informative.
This place looks amazing can't wait to visit it next year when I get to Japan
Oh man I have been wanting to go to Nikko for so long. Awesome video. Hope I can go soon
I will be visiting Nikko next month. Thanks for this guide. In fact, I planned to do 8 out of 10 things recommended! And maybe dressed as the Daimyo Lord at Edo Wonderland!
Thank you for this wonderful guide! I recently went to Nikko on recommendation and this video helped me prioritize which activities to try. Those fried red bean and tofu skin buns are the best food in the entire world! Thanks again!
Love this ! Thank you for listing the prices in US dollars.
Hi Paolo, i just want to say thank you. I've been really depressed lately, but watching your videos make me smile and even laugh a bit. Please keep making videos. Happy new year to you!!
This is now my favorite video that I watched from you. Nikko looks AMAZING 👑😍. Nikko is definitely going on my bucket list!!!!!!
my friends and I are planning our first trip to Japan and are considering a quick visit to Nikko. I'm so glad you made this video because it'll help us make our decision !
Terrific video! Yes, you can take us along anywhere and it will be fun and fascinating! Thanks for your wonderful spirit and creativity!
Thanks Paolo! I learned so much about Japan from your videos.
We loved Nikko, a beautiful little town and a great break from the Tokyo frenzy
Away from tokyo guide?!?!?! This channel is about to turn super-sayan and I'm lovin it! 😭😭😭💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻❤️❤️❤️
I really appreciate your fun way of presenting in your videos. Makes us feel that we are travelling with you! Everytime I watch your food videos, my mouth waters hahaha! Looking forward to more videos from you and Maiko! Will be there in Japan on the 15th, can't wait to try out your recommendations! Looking forward to you guys hitting 1M subscribers! Keep on posting!

Really loved the age manju when I went recently! It was crazy addictive. The ride towards lake chuzenji at irohazaka was crazy and full of twists and turns too
Thanks for making those great videos. I just moved to Japan and your travel videos help so much finding the cool spots in Japan and I enjoy travelling to the places you show.
I definitely need to check Nikko out. I really like how it feels very different than the usual attractions I learn about in places like Tokyo. Thank you for sharing this video. Also, I would really like to learn more about places away from Tokyo. I think it would be awesome!
Loved Nikko. A wonderful time their and Nikko Wonderland. The shows are great. Thank you for making me homesick for my third home. Yamato being my second.
im in LOVE with your Videos bro ive been thinking of visiting Japan since a long time and after i saw a lotta vids about Japan and yours specially . definitely ill spend my Next vacation in this Beautiful amazing Country with its beautiful amazing people
雨の中の東照宮カッコいい
You two looked so elegant and regal in the kimonos!! 😍
As usual your videos are the best!!! I checked out a ton of your videos 5 years ago to prepare me for my Japan trip in 2019 and now I'm back again! Thanks so much! I didn't realize Edo wonderland was in Nikko! I put it on my must see list forever ago and then jus realized the shrine is in the same area. Will add to my list thank you

Bro same here , i also checked his videos during 2019 and coming back checking his vlogs🤩
Awesome, I love Japan. Seeing your videos makes me want to return now!
Nice video. I visited Nikko last July, but I stayed at Nikko Station Hotel 2 (the cheaper one.). I really enjoyed Edo Wonderland. I didn’t go down the river, but I walked past the river from the station to Eco Wonderland in 90 degree sunny weather. So many gorgeous temples.
I loved this video!!😍
The kimono you both wear towards the end were perfectly suited for you...really nice...✨🤙🏼✨
Loved this adventure to Nikko. Yes please more travel videos. You guys looked so cute in your kimonos. Thank you
I remember when you only had 13k subs. It’s great to see how this channel grew gradually.
Thank for the info! So happy you did a video on this!
I love this video please do more traditional japanese videos like shirnes and other cool stuff.
I really appreciate your positive mood :) I feel more uplifted! And this was very informative!
The view is spectacular, that onsen too .. keep going explore outside tokyo paolo, i love it and thanks for your recommendation 😄
I’m flying to japan for the 1st time in late March this year. Going for 2 weeks starting off in Tokyo then to Nikko and finally Kyoto. Can’t wait.
Beautiful location 👍
Amazing video. Can’t wait to see more. Just one more reason to visit Japan.
Thanks for doing this video! I’ve always wanted to visit Nikko, but wasn’t sure what to do and see.. awesome!
Love these away from Tokyo ones, the last one about your visit to the wineries was another of my faves.
I really want to visit Japan someday. Your videos almost make me feel like I'm there haha I love them. Keep up the good work. Btw I dont subscribe much on youtube but I subscribed to yours, much love to you and Maiko from Canada. 😃
The videos that Paolo makes are for TV broadcasting quality. Superb!
I never even heard of this place in japan and it looks amazing; thanks for the wonderful video

Thanks for sharing the link to the Akebi Onsen. We wen there last Saturday and it was superb!!!🙏 arigatou
Awesome video. Makes me want to go visit!
I love Nikko i went to Toshogu shrine and it was amazing. Also i went to Kegon waterfall,Lake Chuzenji and Shinkyo bridge.😍😍😍😍
Looks like a lot of fun!
I really enjoyed this video. We did a day trip to Nikko from Tokyo in 2014 but we did none of the things you presented. We probably need to visit again. Good job as always.
I love your videos. I am making my first trip to Japan in 14 days and will be there for three weeks.
Wow, look at the beautiful power substation! ;) I think I definitely found the place to go with my son. We're doing a 2 week deep-dive in Tokyo in Spring 2022, but we'll make time for a two-day trip to Nikko!
Wow 😲 what an awesome place ❤️ well done. Yes I do want to see more video. Close to Tokyo and easily accessible by Shinkansen or any train.
I'm in Nikko right now. Dope place.
Early on today's video, Paolo! 😀👍

Somewhere I never even considered looking at but now is a possible place to visit
You are actually such a legend
I want to start by saying, I love your videos and I really support you and your channel. Im also married to a Filipino. But I want to share my thoughts about Nikko and this video. I am currently staying at the same hotel you did and spent 2 nights here (this is my 2nd night). This video is 4 years old so I want to keep this in mind as I leave my comment. I wish you shared more logistics about coming here and staying in this hotel. I arrived late in the day (7:30 pm) because I traveled from Nagano. You didn't mention that everything closes at 5 pm not just around the hotel area but in Nikko in general. Or that hours are so flexible that a place that says they are open can just not be. You also didn't talk about how you got around Nikko in your video. The hotel has restaurants but you have to arrange for dinner in advance. I have been using public transport and its important to tell people that trains and buses don't run often and are late in this area, that getting from the hotel to say the Nikko station where most things are takes an hour by train. Or how to get to Edo Wonderland, I took a bus that goes directly there from the train station. It seems like the best way to get around is by renting a car. The hotel itself is ok, its dated but the room I had was nice but dusty. If I had come here at the beginning of my trip (I have been to Tokyo, Fuji, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Nagoya, Narai-juku) then my feelings about this hotel would be less disappointed. I feel like its a little too expensive for what you are getting. The same with the breakfast buffet, it was too expensive for what I got. There isn't wifi in the hotel except for the lobby, despite promising free wifi on their website and google maps. Also all the signs in the hotel are in japanese and the staff does speak a little bit of english. That isn't a big deal but something tourists should be aware of, because this video is meant to attract tourists to this area. (which has been successful because it attracted me and my husband) With that said, I want to add some positives. The view from our room is BEAUTIFUL. I appreciate the vending machines in the lobby. The onsen (public and private) are pretty good, a little dated and gritty. Again there isn't much to do around the hotel area, there is a lovely foot bridge but intense steps you need to go up or to go down with luggage. The only conbi is Lawsons and its half way between the hotel and the station. So that is a lot of walking too. The walk from the station to the hotel is 20 minutes which isn't a big deal but when its 7:30 and there are no taxi's, its very dark, and there are 6 flights of stairs to go down or up to cross a bridge to your room. It makes a difference. We left our hotel for the station around 10 am to go to Edo Wonderland, It didn't look much different during the day as it did at night. Hardly anything is open, a lot of the area around the hotel is actually abandoned. BUT...Edo Wonderland was AWESOME! Would do it again. The restaurant you ate at, was really good but they changed their menu a bit. I hope you take these as notes and not bad opinions. I have done other suggestions from other videos you have done and they were great. But I think its important for me to share my experience after taking tips from your videos. Hope you think about this in future travel videos.
I like this style of things to do + vlog in one. Do more of these! :P
I fricking looooove your videos man!!!, greetings from Mexico
I'm currently thinking what we should do for a day trip from Tokyo - one thought is to drive to Mt. Fuji, the other idea would be Nikko. Thanks for showing it :)
So so good!
