I'm going to Tokyo JAPAN for the 1st time! I'm scared, nervous and excited all at the same time
Don't be scared it's a really safe country and you don't even need to know japanese, pointing is your friend also google translator and Map. My first trip overseas was to Japan last year and i went alone. It was an amazing trip, going again this year in April.
Bottom line, go and enjoy as much as you can because there is to much to see and time will always feel too little.
@@Feljo thanks for the assurance! 🙏
You have to rent a wifi spot. The best things you can do.
You can see a lot of video about japan on my channel. I have visited the four capital Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara e Kamakura. In Tokyo you have to go to city onsen. :)
@@AndreaCappelletti what's your channel
Few things, I live in Tokyo.
Taxis aren't feasible in Tokyo, but in other cities, particularly in Kyoto, they are actually affordable.
For internet, unless you are staying long-term a portable wi-fi hotspot is a better choice for your money rather than prepaid sim.
You did alright on accomodation, but I think capsule hotels are overrated, as they generally aren't all that competitively priced. Hostels are cheaper, albeit with fewer amenities.
Also careful throwing around recommendation to Yasakuni. Tourists are okay, but it's a highly politically controversial place here. Justin Bieber got some backlash for visiting recently. The emperor himself wouldn't be caught dead there.
Convenience store food is great and awesome, but the hot meals you selected aren't very cheap. You're better off finding a cheap ramen shop, which can be half the price and cheap.
A good Fushimi Inari tip, if you want those good photos without the crowds, go before sunrise. I'm serious. Get up at 4 or 5, take a cab there, and the sun should be cresting as you near the top.
Well put together I'd say, especially if this was your first time to Japan
Mysticpoisen
Hi, you mentioned it’s better to have a portable wifi hotspot for internet than sim card, why is that? We’re going to Tokyo for 21 days and though we’d get a sim card than a portable wifi because it’s cheaper.
What's wrong with Yasukuni?
+statezero
This summer we went to Japan as a couple for 23 days, and with 2 phones and one notebook it was just easier to get a pocket wifi. We wanted unlimited data and fast enough speeds, and for 3 devices sim cards just wouldn't make sense. Of course if you barely use the internet and just need it for emergencies, maybe 3GB on one phone would be enough for you, in that case a sim card makes more sense. We paid around 12000 Yen (~100USD) for the pocket wifi for our whole trip, including shipping to our Airbnb. I would definitely do it again and 100% recommend it to anyone who wants to stay connected like at home.
@@flamecore It depends you have to look up the pros and cons of a sim card vs a wifi, I gt a portable wifi as well and it wasn't very expensive so also checking rates might be a good idea. Also the pocket wifi I got was able to connect up to 10 devices and it had unlimited data, you should probably have a charger with you because they do have a limited battery life if you are taking them on the go between 8 and 12 hours.
@@alexdakool It's where a lot of war criminals from WWII were allowed to be enshrined.
I lived in Japan for 4 1/2 years, and I'm really surprised what a great, in-depth summary you've managed to put together for only two weeks there, including some things I didn't know - fantastic job!
hello is there is halal food in japan or not and thanks
@@LeaveMeAloneBleezw hat

Halal
food?
I am crying. I miss Japan so very much. The magic of Japan lies not in the cities, but outside them. I went there in 2019 and fell in love with the place. How I wish I go further ahead in life and get settled here in some quaint little village, selling rice cakes and sake.. :')
I finally went to japan for the first time & honestly it was so beautiful in real life ! I was there for a month for the cherry blossoms 🌸🇯🇵
WOW you were able to stay there for a whole month?! That must have been nice
a whole month?!! im so jealous
Lucky you
How much did you take to spend for the month? I’m planning on going next year, late March to early April and I wanted to stay for a mont
@@John-tt4of me too but not soon ;(
I wish all the good luck for you bro
love it! such a well produced video!
wow，Your video is great！
I confirm that is really nice video
True
I honestly felt like i visited japan through this video , damn
thanks a lot
I love Japan. You will not get disappointed. I can hype up Japan so much but it's still exceeds my expectations every time I go back to visit 😉
anyone watching this video. Go to Japan! I traveled to Japan last year for the first time and it was a beautiful life-changing event! It is an amazing country with amazing lovely beautiful people. It is so easy to travel on your own. Do it, you will be so happy you did.
Going may/june 2020
I agree. Went in March. Not as expensive as I feared either. Kyoto.
Looped RIP travel plans
David Lee perfect opportunity to save up when the pandemic is over
Truly dumbfounded how you don't have millions of subscribers. Your content, photography skills and information is amazing. I'm sharing these videos with everyone I know who want to go to Japan!
Keep up the awesome work and I can't wait to see more videos ❤️
I'm traveling to Japan for the first time in November with my wife... it's been our dream since we were kids.
We're so excited and scared of not being able to communicate or interpret information hahaha but every one says Google is a life saver so... let's do it ;)
Wow u married ur childhood love! U truly are blessed! Have a happy life ahead sir!
Tell us, how was it?^^
@@katerinakiakou1797 it was amazing n.n
How was your trip?
@@MissPetiteRu Yes they need to update us on their trip?
This was one of the greatest travel vlog I have even seen, thank you so much!!! Can't wait till pandemic is over, so I can go and explore Japan
I was thinking the same thing!
True. I hate watching vlog where people show their own faces all the time.
You definitely should! Japan is such an amazing place 💛
Stay away from Japan. Radioactive contamination problem is still ongoing problem in Japan. Almost 18,000 Japanese people died with cancer or leukemia caused by radioactive contamination from Fukushima. Stop eating radioactive contaminated food and water. Otherwise, you're going to get cancer, leukemia or infertility. Japan WAS good country but it's severely contaminated by radiation since Fukushima earthquake happened in 2011. Additionally Japanese government is trying to hide the truth about radioactive contamination. However, People have the right to know the truth and what's going on really in Japan.
@@jeam89 U r trying so hard to change the subject to hide the truth about radioactive contamination in Japan. Cancer rates, leukemia rates and infertility rates are "skyrocketing" since after Fukushima earthquake happened in 2011.
Allan, planning a 3 week trip in oct and have been trolling you tube the last 3 month on videos like this. By far yours is truly the best.Clear, concise and full of great info.Also beautifully filmed with sone great shots and easy to the ear music as opposed to an annoying self serving vid about the person filming and talking to the camera too much.. Really well done and thankyou, will definitely take on board some of the recommendations. Subscribed and will definitely check out your other vids👍
Hey Gordo! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the nice words, it keeps me going :) Glad to welcome you on the journey
'Trolling CZcams'
Watching these video with so many people feels weird during COVID
czcams.com/video/dRvANEergXM/video.html
Japan is so amazing. I hope everyone gets to see the things you present.
One of the best videos I’ve seen to learn where to go for a first timer. Thank you for sharing.
This was such a brilliantly composed snapshot of Japan for anyone interested in the trip...just wonderful...
This video is awesome man! I've watched it about 7 times already planning for my trip in March 2020. Thanks!
Glad it helped man!
Watching just now, see you guys in March 2020! :D
Absolutely great video!
Me too.
did u go yet?
CORONAVIRUS
Allan, this video was awesome. I've watched a TON of videos about traveling to Japan and I found this video extremely information and easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to make this put this together and for making the content so digestible and comprehensive. You included things to do and helpful maps that I haven't seen in any other videos. I will definitely use this to plan my trip to Japan. I'm glad you had a great trip!
Glad it was helpful!
Refreshing to see a travel vlog so professionally shot and edited on CZcams. It was really useful, keep producing excellent content like this, please. 🙂
Yo bro, I followed your guide to iceland and I had a really wonderful time. Thank you for making this video
Japan is my dream tour destination. ❤️ 🇯🇵
I am going to Japan by myself in October. I am so nervous yet excited! I can't wait
Mait good luck 🍀
Ps if you’re planning on uploading videos of the trip on YT

@@alfonsopayan09 Thank you! I might indeed. Your playlists are very cool I just watched them :)

I’m Finally in Japan
This is like my favorite video ever. I can’t wait to visit when the world is back to normal. Japan looks so amazing ❤️
I miss Japan so much. Thank you for sharing your video. I've been to Japan 5 times but I still always want to go back. I always find something new when I'm there 💛
Hi. I met a Japanese lady in Spain. I was traveling with my family to our ancestor's homeplace, since most of them are from Spain, the interesting thing is that the Japanese lady spoke Spanish and English besides, of course, Japanese. I was thrilled to tell her about our Savior Jesus, how He loves all of us! What an amazing thing that love has no boundaries, and God loves us in all shapes and forms and everywhere, and from every nation He is seeking those who want to know Him through His Son Jesus. Best wishes to you and yours. John 3:16

Beautiful girls, friendly people, amazing sceneries, interesting animes and games,
Hell yeah, I love this place! I must have a visit to this place!
Love from China
My dream to go to japan and see the museum of doraemon and Ninja hattori and lots of things house are nice
My dream is also to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Okinawa and more! Hope we can achieve our dreams and comment later when we did it!
Perhaps this is the best travel video so far, with less showing of oneself, and more about the places, plus highly informative yet entertaining. So well done. Thank you for making this available.
One of my biggest dreams is to visit Japan one day🇯🇵❤️
Japan - Tokyo, its my dream!
My too 💛
@@user-vh6ky9me6t thank you! Me too 18 years old) I live in Russia
Love japan!! Can’t wait to see it ourselves!! There’s literally so much to see! Great info glad you had a great time!
I have never been so driven to leave a comment after watching a video. What a well produced, tranquil, enjoyable, informative video to watch.
Watching this makes me feel comfortable at the prospect of visiting Japan, the dream place to visit of my beloved hype who passed away last year. We will visit the place this summer for him and live his dream through us.
Thank you for this video. This pandemic is taking a toll on me as I’ve been stuck on the same place for too long. This somehow help me remind myself that better days are coming and that one day I’ll be able to travel again and visit Japan.
My mother took me to visit Tokyo & Kyoto 20 years ago. I adored it. My 11yr old really wants to visit Japan when Covid is in the rear-view mirror. Your video is so beautiful and in depth. It shows everything I'd love to show my family about Japan. Thank you for making this!
I’m from Pakistan, and it is my goal to visit Japan! I’ve meet so many Japanese people around the world, and I simply love your humbleness and kindness! ❤️
This video is so .... BEAUTIFUL. 🥺🥺 Honeymoon in Japan next summer 🥰
うわー！あなたたちは日本について多くのことを知っています、そしてそれは驚くべきことです私たちの国の日本のような人々がうれしいです。
I really love your channel and I shared it with my son who has been to Japan. His new wife and I will be joining him next summer in a visit to Japan. I kind of get overwhelmed by people and things and lights and noise but what I love most about your channel is how Zen you are, and you show all the beautiful features that make Japan Japan. Thank you for that.
Japan will see me this summer and I will see all of Japan 🌙❤️
got a bit teary watching this, stirred up many fond memories from my past visits ;)
I made the decision to finally travel to Japan. its been there in the back of my head for years and years. this was the first video i saw after the fact. this made me more confident that this is happening for sure. in addition to being a bad ass video purely for its info, its a fucking beautiful video my man. it feels like I'm watching a overpriced BBC doc. thanks a lot. have a wonderful 2021
Best video on youtube im not even joking,this is the reason I became so obsessed with Japan lol Ive been wanting to go for the past like 2 years ill edit this when i finally go!
This is a very good video! I plan on visiting Japan one day, thank you for this information !
Thank you. I am going to Japan in April for the first time for 10 days
Glad it helped! Enjoy Japan :)
Go as early as you can in April! Sakura peak in Tokyo is typically late march
Congrats! Have a great time!
That's amazing! How was your trip?
HELLO!
We got back from our trip to Japan on the 17th of july. We stayed 17 days!!!
It was AMAAAAAZING! We did so much and went to sooo many places!! At the end of every exhausting day...I would think how could tomorrow be any where near as incredible as this day was...And sure enough...EVERY DAY WAS JUST AS AMAZING IF NOT MORE SO!
It was beyond words...
I absolutely loved it.
Thanks for the video. It made me want to go back to those same places. :)
This is the best video I've watched while trying to get info on first-time travel to Japan! It's in-depth, but also leaves room for flexibility while trying to plan a trip!
It was awesome knowledge for me to get myself equipped before visiting Japan. 😊
The scenery with the good choice of music in the background makes this video probably the top travel videos I've seen in a while. Keep up the good work!
A beautiful place. Want to share a beautiful message: John 3:16
Japanese(i) 16 それ神はその獨子を賜ふほどに世を愛し給へり、すべて彼を信ずる者の亡びずして、永遠の生命を得んためなり。
this was such a beautiful and well-edited video, it was also so so peaceful. definitely will be checking out more of your videos 🌟
I love how calm and polite you are. You just give very interesting information in a professional way. good luck. Absolutely loved your video :)
Exceptional quality video, props!
I have travel to in 2017 with my son for the first time and was there for only one week. We did a lot in one week but not enough.
When this pandemic is under control I am planning to travel again to Japan. I love the country side and beauty of Nature.
Off course I Love hiking so is my son. I Love your video, very informative. Thank you 🙏
This video is so well done, and helped out me and my bf so much! We're planning our trip for this december, and you were so much help. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm currently planning for my solo Japan trip for when the pandemic is over and this video was so helpful for a beginner travel like myself! So informative and the cinematography was beautiful.
One of the best travel guides/ japan videos I've ever watched. Thank you for the amazing video!
this was the best travel to japan video I have seen. really makes me happy that one day I'll get to go!
This video was so well done! I'm incredibly grateful that you included some prices as well, so I would be able to guesstimate how much my trip will be. I am most likely going to follow in your footsteps as the recommendations were fantastic.
This is definitely the best video I’ve seen for a Japan Travel Guide / Itinerary. So in depth and easy to follow with great recommendations!
I’m only a few minutes into your video, and this is already so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for your video - it was VERY useful for planning my trip. Loved your recommendations, it is hard to find a really good video with real recommendations these days! Most of them are just vague and not specific. Thank you!
Absolutely love this!!! I have recently moved to Tokyo and am totally loving it here!!
As a person wanting to go to Japan, this is priceless. Thank you so much!
Your travel guides are insanely helpful and well-made. Thank you for all this info. Your Iceland travel guide was very good for me and this Japan travel guide will be my next useful guide.
Loving all the recommendations ❤️❤️❤️
Another beautifully put together video, Allan. I've watched a LOT of videos about Japan, lived over there, and traveled around it as well, this is probably the most well-rounded guide I've seen, and certainly the best looking. Sharing on my FB.
Appreciate the share and kind words Chris! I'm glad the hard work put into this video is paying off :)
This is an extremely well done video. My oldest son who recently turned 21 and I want to visit Japan. You mention specific placed to see and have given me much more clear idea of where to go. Well done.
This is easily one of the most informative videos I have come across. Your style of showing maps and traveling to destinations speaks to my nature as this is how I plan my travels. May you have more videos to come! You have earned a subscriber :)
To be honest it's always my dream to explore this country about its culture, animes, tradition and sights but im so influenced 😍
I really want to go to Japan when I’m older!
I really enjoy your channel. I love Japan. We spent a week in Hokkaido and a week in Tokyo in July 2019. What an amazing trip we had and we enjoyed very much. We hope to go back there at some point in the future.
Very Good ! My first vacation was back in 1989 to Japan. When I had the opportunity I moved there in 2006 to 2008. No matter how much I did, motorcycle ride, bar hop, hike, camp, and partied in Tokyo, rode trains, I left feeling there was so much more to do. So many things more to see..
Finally a good video with useful information on where to stay, what to do, where to eat. Thank you for making a video to help me, and not only to promote yourself.
I love Japan!!! A nice country with nice people !!!
Hope to visit Tokyo next month and be welcomed there !!!🇻🇳❤️🇯🇵

Cheers! Enjoy Japan

Going to Japan for 2 weeks in 2019. This is almost exactly how we planned our trip! Thank you for the reassurance and the well produced video! Much appreciated.
Thanks for watching and have a great Japan trip :)
One of the best video about Japan travel
I love the way you recommend the cards and the SIM cards, apps etc, so detailed and so good! 👏🏻
Great video! Didnt feel rushed or self-promotional as most travel videos I've seen here in CZcams. I'm planning to visit Japan this autumn and will definitely remember your tips! 😊
Thanks for watching Donna! Glad you found some value in the video
I fully enjoyed your travel guide as I am planning in the near future to visit Japan. I am from the Caribbean and i found your video to be informative and inspiring. Looking forward to your other videos.
Thank you Roger!
I've always wanted to visit Japan and your videos make me want to visit it even more! It's a really good guide!

Wow wow wow
Imma go in Japan one day for sure

Never too late
Maybe you’re right...
I glad to see such as great guide for Japan ☺️
You all welcome to travel my country !!
