I went to Tokyo for a short stay in my way from SK to Los Angeles. I was lost outside Shibuya railway station having taken the, very inexpensive, train from Narita. A Japanese man came over and asked me where I wanted to go to. He took me to the bus stop, came on the bus with me, walked with me to the location of my Air BnB after the bus. I would still be looking now! The people are so friendly and helpful.

You are not wrong !! The old movie summer holiday with Cliff Richard springs singing - springs to mind every time I get into the driving seat !! LOL - Marianne xx

We were in Tokyo on the 11th May and were woken at 4am with an earthquake warning on my phone, then an alarm in the hotel followed by the earthquake, bed was shaking for 5 to 10 seconds, then another alarm telling you to stay in your room and stay away from windows. The alarm was more scary than the actual earthquake

It was fun watching you enjoy Japanese food. I can tell it's not a monthly treat for you. What you had is similar to what we have in Australia 😊 the vending machines, robots and the evacuation- what a great exposure to Japan.

Yokohama!! Best city in Japan

Have you noticed how well-behaved Japanese children are? That's why I first bought a Japanese parenting guide.🙂👍

Hello Ambassadors Here you are..in Japan. Wondering where you were! It is very interesting,I liked the robot waitress. Jesus, a little hard to find your destination area, isn't it? Lovely people, always that respect comes out every where. Love it! Earthquake was the thing ,but their buildings were built absolutely earthquake proof ( almost). In TURKIYE we use their technique to built the buildings especially after 2023 Feb 6 earthquakes. Cleanliness is the striking thing. I was following two or three KZreadrs that they were in Japan. Nice shopping centers. Have fun you two! Love from FT. Pierce florida❤❤🇹🇷🇹🇷

My husband and I visited Japan with a similar experience. We found Japanese so helpful. Rome to Rio App is great for planning journeys and worked brilliantly in Japan.

Have a safe journey to Tokyo

Everyone should get a free nights stay for all the false alarms 😂. How terrible to be denied sleep and rest. I would have been ticked off. ❤

Haha, so much fun to watch your first impressions. But noticed right away, when you were walking downtown Tokyo, your facial expressions became more relaxed. Looking forward to things to come.

Have fun in Japan

Glad you made to Tokyo, a little scary with the alarm going off. Japan is magical, friendly and gracious people. Good luck and enjoy!🌻😍🇯🇵

Kudos to Maryann in evacuation protocal to not brace fire protection door open.

Well, that was a shock first few hours for sure. Was surprised you have not had teriyaki sauce before, being foodies. My first was in America. Now I get it in Asda😂😂😂. Can't wait for Japan series. Stay safe xxx

Now that was stressful 😱 .. being someone who does not like big cities.. and panics at just the thought of having to use a ticket machine.. 😂 But wow the streets are so clean... are there always that few people there I wonder... or was it a Sunday in an office district you went to eat in that there so few people? That robot waiter was fascinating... And the modern skyline was like a painting.. ..And what a start to your first night! 🤭

the restaurant you ate lunch is reasonable restaulant called by "Family restaurant" in Japan. Family restaurant is like Mcdonalds or Subway in UK or US.Offcourse the dishes of those restaulant is great but there are a lot of restaulant provides more better dishes in Japan.I'm very happy to see you enjoy Japan as Japanese.Have a nice trip!

quite an adventure and drill

I'm so excited to view your Japanese experience as I know you will go out into the countryside and experience all sorts including Onsen (which should be fun haha). You can't visit them with tattoos so if you have any wear some plasters. This video was so funny - i laughed out loud many times but when it got to the Robot behind Marianne's back I lost it and was crying with laughter. Great fun video, sorry, at your expense with your train confusion and alarms and flights of stairs up and down. I love the Japanese. Don't love hectic tourist sites but hoping to see lots of countryside and village life. Have fun and enjoy!

Recommendation when traveling in Japan's big cities. is getting a IC-cards. They do have stopped selling some of the common cards, but you can still get cards like the "Suica tourist"-card. You can also get an App for your mobile that you can use as well (It works on Iphone, but there might be some problems on foreign Androids). - IC cards or app's you don't need to think about where you travel, you just bling when going in and out (Metro cards like the Suica etc. you need to put money in) - Note that many IC-cards, you can't get anymore, due to shortage of micro-chips (and that tourist take the card with them, instead of delivering them in for recycle). But IC-cards for tourist you can still get, since they are made of a cheaper micro-chips and last 28 days from activation.

It's not pickled mushroom, but young bamboo shoot.

I go to Japan every year on holiday. I wouldn’t go any where else. As for train tickets it’s probably better to get an ic card.

First night False Alarm scenes were so funny! well...actually a bit scary...cos yknow...if there IS a fire/earthquake you want to get out! Fun to see Japan thru fresh eyes - and hey - the escalator etiquette thing in Kyoto - on SOME train lines - people stand on the right!!! That's a thing...and robot waitress - love those. A friend's grandchild touched one and the robot said (in japanese) "Please don't touch me!" ;-)

Hey Chris and Marianne I’m really pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness how tidy and well mannered no panicking or noise when going down the stairs in the house everything looks immaculate and very advanced technology have fun stay safe thank you for sharing your vlogs

Tip: Just get one Ticket in the train station... As long as you do not leave the statio(s) youre fine. You'll pay the difference with your initial ticket at the last station you need to leave from.

I recommend for just about anyone arriving in Japan to pick up an IC card. They are used for the public transportation in Japan (and some vending machines and konbinis). The normal ones require a 500 yen fee that get put on to the card as fare, the tourist ones have fees but the fees are not usable as fares. Suica, Pasmo,(Tokyo) Icoca(Osaka) are the most common. You fill them with money and tap in and out on trains and buses without having to worry about buying the right ticket. At the end of your time in Japan, turn them in for any refund you have left on the card at the appropriate office, unless it is a tourist one(don't buy those).

I'm happy to have found one of the best trip vlogs in Japan. The small bowl that came with your dish at Johnasan's is 山菜のおひたし, edible wild plants/herbs boiled and seasoned with fish stock. We Japanese enjoy them as part of the blessings of mountains. But I'm not a big fan of 山菜 (pronounced "sun-sigh") either because they usually come with a squishy texture and a puckery taste. You'll encounter 山菜 more in the countryside restaurants than in Tokyo, so it might be best to ask if any of the dishes have 山菜 in them before you order🌿. Safe trips & looking forward to your next vlog!
