@@randall6890I’m doing well! How are you ☺️
I'm curious why you couldn't buy a Jr pass when you lived there? Was it not allowed? Or not in the budget?
@@wanderlustalley Looks like you’re doing much better. And I’m always excited to see you! It’s a funny thing when I watch your videos. Because when I’m watching your videos it makes me feel like I’m right there with you! ❤️
Any plans to hit a Babymetal concert? Take me with when you go!

Thank you for taking us along. Lots of interesting places and good info.
Glad to see you guys having a blast in Japan and love to see how awesome you two are together! Thank you for showing us different parts of Japan!
Ahhh thank you! It’s been such a great time ✨😊
I took the Shinkansen several times from Tokyo to Kyoto, and to Hiroshima. I absolutely loved the ride.
It’s so peaceful 😌
Need to post before I lose my “train” of thought. Glad you are letting us track your wonderful adventure through Japan. Great, fun content and enjoyable to see two really nice people laugh and experience such an interesting journey.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment🥲❤️ thanks for joining along! It’s been a treat ☺️
As always Alley. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Most appreciated. You guys are awesome.👍
Hehe thank you 😊
Such a pleasure to see you both enjoying your trip. Thanks for bringing us along. 😀
Glad you enjoyed it☺️ thanks for joining us 🫶
This Vlog is SO fun!!!! What an experience it must have been!
All of your videos are so entertaining and informative and this one is no different. Thank you for sharing this adventure with all of us! The trip to see the cherry blossoms was beautiful. Thankfully, Tristan found his wallet!!
What a wonderful travel vlog and what a great commercial for less well known places in Japan. You are a fabulous tour guide!👏👏👏👏😘
Cute and Fun as always
10/10 - Would watch again
You're just an amazing story telling creator❤
Love love love watching your videos😊
Thank You!! This is awesome!!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Went to Japan last year for 4 weeks. It was simply an amazing adventure. Went to Sapporo, Kyoto, Hakodate, Kobe, and Tokyo. Tokyo was for the anime-side of me, LOL. I love watching your videos, as soon as I pay off my first Japan trip, I'm going back, I have to go back, I'm addicted to Japan
What an adventure that was really good !!! loved the dance by the red train at the end, ya still got ya moves and you always have a smile. Japan's rail system is the complete opposite of ours in the UK in every way I can think of. You have to experience it sometime.... just don't have high expectations.
Japan’s rail system really is elite 😅 I haven’t been to the UK but have heard a little about the tube! I’ll have to experience it for myself at some point 😆
Great trip! 🚆
Love all the places in Japan. Can't wait to visit there some time.
It's good to see you're doing so well after being discarded by the cruise line due to your injury!
Such a great experience! Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks for coming along for the journey ☺️
Love your content guys ! :)
Thanks for posting Videos of other countries so I can see it and not have to travel there myself as I see no reason to now 😊 It's very much appreciated ❤
Thanks for joining along ☺️
you two are adorable. thanks for showing us japan!
Thanks for joining along food the ride🤗
Must be really awesome to travel like you do. I’m glad you don’t travel alone. Good video .
You can tell he's canadian by saying the train looks like a northern pike 🍁 . Thanks for posting as I want to travel to Japan and this is great information.
He’s not fooling anyone 🤣 hope you have a lovely trip! 🙏
Great travel vlog, thanks for details 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!😊
Amazing adventures!! The rooms with all the colors was trippy! Thanks for sharing your adventures Alley! Hope your back is continuing to heal!
Thank you so much 🤗
The Anpanman train reminds me of the Santa train on the L in Chicago! The pure joy when you happen across it!
Such a treat! The Santa train sounds magical🥲
This is the most amazing video! You are having the time of your life! It makes me happy watching you 🎉❤ I'm taking a cruise to Japan in October!
Ahhh thank you 😊 which ports are you visiting? Sounds incredible!
@@wanderlustalley I live in Portland, Oregon and we are leaving from Seattle. 15 days, 14 nights and we go to (in order) Muroran, Hakodate, Akita City, Shimizu and ending in Tokyo! 🗼 I've never been to Asia or Europe before, only the Caribbean, I'm so excited! Watching your travels makes me want to be there already! 😊
Protect this woman at all costsss❤❤❤❤ not just beautiful, but hust wow, inspiring snd true❤❤❤
One of the things that makes JR Pass worth it for me is something you briefly mentioned. I may come out a few bucks less to buy separately but the time was a factor for me. There was no going to the ticket machines or looking at the maps to see what station I needed, etc. With the pass, you can just know if you're on a JR line and go. No need to stop and buy tickets every time (which isn't hard, just can take a few minutes here and there). Thanks for showing us your road trip. I haven't been to a few places here but would like to visit.
Such a fun video, Alley. Love how you're constantly go...go...go, laughing your way through your travels, always up for the next adventure. My faves were the food, the dramatic 'late for the train' music, and esp your beautiful cherry blossom shots. What did the word you wrote on the paper you made mean?
Hehe thank you 😊 アリーカー is my name in Katakana 🤗
@wanderlustalley I love that--so cool. Is there a phonetic english letters version that is pronouncable, or is that a transliteration of the sound "Alley?"
Hell yeah, a nearly 30 minute Alley vlog. Such a well-done video. Cannot wait to ride the Shinkansen when I go!
Thanks, Noah 🫶🫶🫶 can’t wait for you to experience it!
Always adorable always fun to watch cool videos good vibes love it❤️🌹
Thank you 🤗 we love the good vibes 🤘🏼🫡
This video gave me so much joy! 😊
I'm so glad!🫶
Love your smile. And I needed that today. Diagnosed with prostate cancer the other day. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. Hug that guy you are with. Always wish you the best!
Sending lots of love and well wishes! 🫶
So sorry to read that. I'm fifteen years past my diagnosis. There is hope.
Really appreciate this video going to Japan in a couple months and so confused about the transit system there. Going to look into the JR pass to see if it’s right for our trip😊
Let me know if you have any questions! I have a part a couple minutes in explaining a bit about it. Hope it helps ☺️
I loved this video!!!! Definitely showing me places that are stunning and I’ll never be able to go! Thank you for the humor, creativity, personality!!! And ice cream haha
Hehe of course 🥰
Great tour of Japan!! loved all the sites and food. It says something for the culture to get a wallet back like that!!
It really does! So thankful to have gotten it back 🙌✨
Nice video thanks for sharing 🎉❤
Thanks for joining along for the ride 🫶
I’d be exhausted with all the travelling but your energy levels is insane! Keep it up!!
Thank you! It’s definitely a go go go vibe 😂 definitely needed a day to recover!
I like how clean it is over there even in the cities. I plan to take a trip over there soon.
So true! It’s the only city I really LOVE 💕
Love your posts
Thank you ☺️
Enjoyed that 👍🏼
Now I’m installing klook 🤭
Love her energy ~~
GREAT VIDEO! The Shinkansen is one of MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE THINGS OUT THERE! Did you know on it's first public televised test run in fall 1964 the news helicopters filming it STRUGGLED TO KEEP UP WITH IT! I mean a train beating a helicopter in 1964!! I LOVE THIS TRAIN SO MUCH & this was a great video too!!
Cheers 🍶🍣🚅 🇯🇵 Japan seems INCREDIBLE & I CAN'T WAIT TO VIST SOMEDAY! 😎
I was very surprised. I live in Kochi. Thank you for coming all the way to a distant place. Kochi is still not known to foreign travelers, but this has been found out. Speaking of Kochi's food, fresh bonito dishes and sweet potatoes. There are also activities in the most beautiful river in Japan. If you have another chance, please come and find a good place in Japan. Japanese people are waiting for friendly tourists with hospitality.❤
Fun train on my bucket list😊
It’s a good one 🤗
The train did kind of look like a northern pike or maybe a musky. Great video btw, always enjoy watching. Your happiness is contagious.
That’s what Tristan said too 😅 Ah thank you ☺️
13:27 at this point, I was already 99% sure that the wallet would be found. I have only visited Japan 2 times (most recently in 2019), but the high personal and property safety was shocking (compared to Bay Area California). My cousin forgot his eyeglasses in a restaurant next at a train station and the next day it was in the lost and found. In Tokyo mall cafes, Japanese people would leave their laptops unattended on the table as they went to the bathroom. In Tokyo, commuter bikes were left unattended and unlocked on the street night and day (more in 2001, less in 2019).
So loved the colorful trains. And glad your boyfriend found his wallet. I lost my wallet on a trip and was a nightmare. Liked also the musical bridge.
Honestly such a blessing😊 glad you enjoyed✨
15:37 He looks like Ampamman😂😂 Have fun!🎉
I can see it
Ali and Tristan, thanks for taking us along. That was so fun and adventurous!! So glad Tristan got his wallet back! 👍
Me too! We were truly blessed 🫶😁
OMG finding your wallet with all its contents at Lost and Found... Japan is amazing
This is why I love Japan 🥺❤️
I lost my wallet in Ireland in 2012 no Apple Pay no way of checking into my hotel… luck was on my side when I called the cab company the driver promptly found me and got it back! Gotta love hospitality of good people!
Good morning ALLEY 😍
It was so beautiful
As a Japanese, I was very happy.
SUNDAY morning I saw your video and it made me smile
Thank you very much.
Have a nice weekend 💕
love your video wow
Hehe thank you ☺️
Great Job!!! Thank You... :-)
Thank you ☺️
Alley, you are so upbeat and charming. Makes me smile watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious. 😉
Ahh thank you so much🤗
Great teeth! Very healthy (my uncle is a dentist). Nice video of your trip. Thanks.
Sweet couple ❤
You should try to work out a deal with NHK to produce tourism stuff.
OMG!!! I stop at 21:20 The Japanese still do TV old school with full size cameras! And a two man crew!
Here in Canada in the 1980s, SEVEN middle aged Japanese were here in my town for Ashai TV!
What amazing and exciting trip that must have been. Man I should have done one of those crazy room things while I was in Tokyo. That looked so awesome. Yes super jealous you are to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom. I still got to see them last year but it was the tale end of it as they were welting away, still cool to see all the blossoms in water, saw them by a little canal, but nothing like that. When I was there, I pretty much stayed in Tokyo so I didn't need the JR pass, wasn't worth it to me. Yes take note, if you stay in Tokyo you won't need it. And Klook was amazing for me to use, I was able to book everything through them. Highly recommend, I used them for tours and my Disney pass. Because some reason Tokyo Disney has a hard time taking foreign credit cards. Thank you for showing us around all the amazing spots and so SHOCKED he got his wallet back. And you are making me miss Japan, I want to go back, especially after all the new Disney stuff open up.
All I have to say is the following:
1) The “dear” line …well played there guy but “oh dear 🤦🏻♂️”
2) that museum with the trippy flooring would have been just that for me…one trip after another…face planting palooza
3) no way in the world did I think that wallet was ever going to be seen again. That’s some kinda luck!
Nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The luckiest guy on the planet ... living the absolute dream !!
Cool trip to some nice places, but it also shows the problem tith the JRP after the price hike: You need to travel an awful lot in a short time to make it worth it. I've been to most of these places, but not all on a single trip, and certainly not all within a single week. And for a trip like this, assuming it has to start and end in Tokyo, I would probably fly to Fukuoka, and from there work my way back by train. Probably cheaper, surely quicker, and more flexible since no need to cram it all within 7 days.
In April I did my 19th trip to Japan, and kinda made an effort to avoid trains whenever possible: Wakayama to Tokushima by ferry, Tokushima to Takamatsu by highway bus, Takamatsu to Okayama again by ferry via Shodoshima (and my first rental car experience in Japan), Okayama to Himeji was the only shinkansen ride, then local train to Kobe, and once again a ferry from Kobe to Kansai Airport. Not for a single moment have I even considered any railpass for that trip, clearly not worth it.
As for losing stuff in Japan: During that trip I left my phone at a bench at a pretty busy spot in Wakayama, walked away, only discovered it quite a while later, ran back, and after half an hour it was still there. Back home if I would put it right in front of me, look away for a few seconds, chances are it might already been stolen....
Japan's trains are so on time, their lateness are measured in seconds. And there's a huge penalty for trains if their late for minutes
So true! It was always so surprising anytime they were late 😳
Alley you are awesome.
上高地に来てください😊✋
絶景と清流に癒され楽しんで頂けましたら幸いです😌✌️
I really wanted to go but there wasn’t enough time 🥲
I always automatically bought a JR Pass to travel in Japan when I was single and also after getting married and having a family. It was always a great deal, but with the recent dramatic jump in JR Pass prices by around 70% the numbers just didn't work out for us when we went on our latest trip to Japan and so we didn't purchase JR Passes. I would say that if you're constantly on the move and only staying at each location for no more than a night or two and making long trips like Wanderlust Alley then a JR Pass may still be a good deal, but getting a JR Pass is no longer the no-brainer that it used to be.
You could lead tours of Japan.
Awesome that tristan got his wallet back!
Definitely have to look at what trains you will be taking to determine if it is cost effective and like you said basic trip it wouldn't be needed. Also I wish they would convert it to Apple Wallet like how the IC card can be used instead of the paper ticket. I saw one video where the guy went from Kagoshima to various stops along the Shinkansen route and ended at Hakodate.
So true! I feel like things are changing so often these days so I wouldn’t be surprised if that were to happen at some point in the near future 🤔
@@wanderlustalley also only Mastercard can refill the IC card on Apple wallet for outside of Japan credit cards. I hope they can add Visa but supposedly in 2025 they releasing a new iOS app that will be for foreigners
Hello New friend from Australia. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hi! 😊 nice to meet you!
You should check out going to a mochi making class
Dude we need to learn to SPEL Buddha 😂
It's fortunate that Tristan lost his wallet in Japan.🤣 In any other country, we should be more careful not to lose it.😨
Agreed! But so thankful he got it back 🙏
Miyajima is the island where Maryline Monroe & husband Joe Dimagio had been to
for honey moon 70 years ago.
Looks like y'all had a great time. I like how unintrusive you are with your camera. Definitely respectful with your recording. Have you ever tried something to eat during your travels where you were "Never again!" or borderline sick about it?
Ah thank you! There’s a few I’ve tried that I haven’t enjoyed, especially natto 😅 not for me 🙈
What type of visa is needed to live in japan?

@wanderlustalley what Raman was that.? Heading to Tokyo next yr and would love to try it
It was a tomato ramen in ramen stadium-fukuoka! They don’t have it in Tokyo unfortunately 😭
ah so this is what simping feels like
かわいい❗
日本旅行ブログで一番かわいい
It wasn't particularly lucky that his wallet was returned. In Japan, that's the norm. Although, there are those incredibly rare instances where something doesn't come back, which is almost unbelievable. It's quite the opposite of what we experience in our country 😂.
Btw, while traveling in Japan, a friend of mine dropped his wallet on the train with a credit card, ¥50,000, and $600 inside. Additionally, my cousin left a small bag on a bench containing her iPhone15 and a wallet with $800. Both were returned to the Lost and found and a police box completely intact.🤣Omg
Nice country japan .
Only in Japan that you lose a wallet and a week later you get it back!🥰
So true! We’re so thankful 🥹
7 day pass was only $250 in 2019 when I went back. I did $2200 worth of Shinkansen rides during that trip
It’s changed so much 😭 I first lived there in 2017 when the dollar and yen were basically 1:1 & it was around that price. It was such a great deal!
When you lived in Japan, was it related to your job on cruise ships?
No, it was completely different!
🍃四国でインタビューを受けたのか。日本ではすっかり有名人ですね( *´艸｀)🌸
I did! It was a surprise 😅
Oh wow, so the JR rail pass covers the Shinkansen too. Didn't it use to only cover regular trains and buses?
From what I understand, it’s always covered the Shinkansen!
Can you add captions when the audio gets really quiet and you are whispering? I loved the video though!
Thank you ☺️ do the auto captions not work?🙈
@@wanderlustalley not in my experience
Climbing those steep stairs, I see that knee still bothers you?
It’s a work in progress 🙃
The dear are a menace
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
How much was hotel in Hiroshima? In USD dollar
Compared to Tokyo Hotel Cost? USD
LOVE your Videos. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
TRAVEL WHEN YOUR YOUNG!
Can you speak Japanese a little? I think you can get by with English in Tokyo
Hotel prices change with the season! But in Tokyo if you find a place with such a good price, it’s typically really small or gross😂 in Hiroshima we were right in the middle of town and it was so clean and lovely🤗
