- Today we're bringing you along on our two incredible days in Nara, Japan🙌 We had almost zero expectations aside from the deer park, and we were absolutely blown away!
We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university, and live life full-time🧔🏻👱🏻♂️ We've been together for eight years and have been traveling together pretty much since day one✈️ In 2022, we completed our goal of visiting 100 countries at the age of 25 and now we're back exploring some of our favorite places on a deeper level before visiting country 101, 102, etc...🌍 Check our CZcams About page for more details👨🏼🤝👨🏻❤️

Japan was country 38 (first visited in 2018)🌍
We started our trip in the Keihanshin region, which is Japan's second largest metropolitan area after Tokyo, made up of the cities Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, and other smaller ones. After eight days around this region, we hopped on the Shinkansen bullet train twice, first to Hiroshima and then to Fukuoka. From there, we took a boat to Busan, South Korea (we were SO excited about this ferry ride between Japan and Korea!) before catching a train to Seoul and flying home from there!
Thank you for watching!🙏😍
0:00-0:22 Our third trip to Japan!
0:23-0:59 Country 101...?
1:00-3:17 Trying mugwort mochi and exploring Nara
3:18-5:21 Japanese gardens are amazing (Isuien Garden)
5:22-5:57 Is Nara our new favorite stop in Japan?
5:58-7:28 Getting close to the deer!
7:29-8:39 Wakakusa and seeing the BEST cherry blossoms
8:40-9:56 TWO dinners (very on-brand...)
9:57-13:20 Last day in Nara
13:21-14:17 Two trains to Osaka
You guys are the best❤ We appreciate all of you SO much!
How CUTE are the deer but also...how STUNNING is Nara?! We'll be back for sure🙌
I’m Japanese. Thank you for this lovely video. so lovely!! I’m a member of the deer protection in Nara and I have one thing I’d like to ask every tourist. If you found the baby deer with mom or being left alone, please do not touch them. It’s the peak season for deer giving birth in the park. Once human gets to close and touch baby deer the mom deer stop feeding the baby deer because of the human smell.
Please keep distance from the baby deer. Thank you. 👋🌸
Loved Nara. I live in the southern USA where deer are considered pests and widely hunted in season.
I had to change my mind set when visiting Nara.
I went to Japan for nearly 3 weeks in 2019 and Nara was by far my favourite part - seeing videos like this make me really want to go back for the Autumn
You guys rock!!! Amazing as always…..Japan is the best 🇯🇵
I took my sister in law and niece to Nara this spring and my niece never wanted to leave! You are lucky you weren't wearing brown; we fed the deer the sembei and ran out, so they went after my sister in law's brown sweater dress!
日本を楽しんでくれて嬉しい🥰
My favorite country is Japan. I like this video. ⭐🌟 Thank you 💕
Nara is my hometown. Although I’m living in Osaka for some reasons I always love Nara.
Next time you come to Nara, pls do visit the southern part of Nara prefecture as well. That part of the prefecture is mountainous.
I''m excited!!!! Oskar and Dan, thank you for that travel video. Coming to Nara in July!!!! Love it!
You guys keep me smiling. This was just lovely. Thank you!
I'm loving this entire Japan series 😍
Oskar& Dan NEVER disappoint with their ADVENTURES. Thank you
GREAT VIDEO - makes me want to visit Japan! Japanese gardens really are so serene. Will the deer in your animal sanctuary learn to bow politely? Kanji eye test - sounds challenging.
(P.s. Green Mugwart sounds & looks like an STD)
So good to see my two favorite tourists actually taking time this year to stop and smell the cherry blossoms! Beautiful tour.
I recommend to stay in Ryokan, Its is so Omotenashi.. A little bit expensive. But All people should have Ryokan experience.
Nara is first capitol of nation Japan. Kyoto is 2nd capitol, and Tokyo is 3rd capitol. No wonder essence of Japan is intense in in Nara.
Yes and no. We don't have an official capital city. Wherever the Emperor is, historically functions as the capital. So there were places like Naniwa-no-miya (Osaka), Ohtsu (Shiga), or Fujiwara-kyo. Heijyo-kyo is only one of many "capitals" within Nara prefecture.
@@yo2trader539 that’s right. I agree with you techinically. My explanation is for Japanese culture begginner such like gaijin or kids.
Kamakura is probably the third, and Tokyo (Edo) is the fourth, maybe.

江戸は首都ではないよ。
鎌倉も首都ではないよ。
@@saaccitt
無知乙 江戸は首都なんて誰でも知ってるし、以下の文章を検索してみろよ。
先に結論。「首都」は鎌倉です。「都(ミヤコ)」は京都です。
首都と都(ミヤコ)は別の概念です。ミヤコというのは宮処、つまり天皇の住む宮殿のある街が都(ミヤコ)です、これは間違いない。天皇に政治的権力があろうがなかろうが、そんなの関係ありません。天皇が住んでるところが、ミヤコ。
I watched your Clip the day you released it on You Tube. I was in Kyoto but the next day I went to Nara and visited the deer park. It was fantastic and a great experience. Thank you :-)
Deer oh deer, this video was too cute❤
Oh deer indeed😆🦌
Man you guys missed Kasuga Taisha! That's the best part of Nara. But it's a good excuse to visit again hehe
I'm so glad you found Nara. I was there and Kyoto in 1968 when I was 22. I had the same opinion. Kyoto seems modern. Nara is encased in amber. Aside from Tokyo and Osaka, we spent three weeks in ryokans.
Agreed🙌 And that sounds like an amazing trip!
Be careful with the deer. My friend and I were feeding them and the deer got too pushy. I shoved the crackers in my hip pocket. Some deer snuck up and bit my butt to get the food. The right cheek was black and blue for quite awhile. Of course it has been a good story for decades.
There are also deers on Miyajima in Hiroshima, and they were so hungry that they even eat the paper brochures from tourists!
Bowing to the deer is the most darling enchanting thing we’ve seen in any of your vlogs. ❤️🌈
I was so close to visiting Japan at one point. I'm a Motion Capture actor and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity. That would've been a real dream come true to visit and work in Japan. Great video. Best of luck on your travels.
A video doesn't feel complete until I hear you both say, "See you, around the world..." Haha Nara looked beautiful and I love the baby deer! So cute!
Either those deer are genuinely really hungry or they’re just really good at begging. They were so cute! Nara is so beautiful and clean. I can’t wait for the Osaka vlog❤✈️
I think they're both really hungry and expert beggars😂
You guys have amazing energy , transcends screen and makes videos amazing
I've been like the first subcriber since you 2 have shared your awesome trips, but I got to say this trip here is the almost first time I get to see YOU enjoy and relax on one of your trips. I know you 2 are chill on all your trips but it was wonderful to see you both truly relaxed!!
Thank you so much❤️ It means so much for us to hear that, really🙏
Awesome love you guys video and love Japan
I recently visited Nara and can say it’s better than Kyoto (for the same reason as them). I recommend the future tourist to visit Nara!
Great video chaps. We are planning a trip to Japan and this video was so helpful. We are now planning a few extra days in Nara to really soak it all in. Definitely looks underrated. Nicole 🇦🇺
Great shots with the deer! 😃
How relaxing and calm Nara is! I spent most of my childhood in Japan, but I visited Nara only once. Now I wanna visit there! Thank you for the video!
Thank YOU for watching!
As a person who's soon to be 36 rather than 26, I can definitely confirm that you're not getting old! 😄 Nara looks lovely, guys. I'm glad it still seems to have a peaceful atmosphere despite it becoming increasingly popular. Completely agree as well that Japanese gardens are something else and would love to actually see a Japanese garden in Japan itself one day. 😊
Just kidding about the age😆
@@OskarandDan which city would you choose to live in in Japan????
@@cleverpeasant-jn7iw
Nara Ikoma city
奈良県生駒市
Went that moss burger too. Ate shrimp burger and loved it! Miyajima deers are calmer imo.
From Japan, enjoy🎉
great video guys
It is beautiful there. Excellent video as always!
I've lived in Japan for 30 years (in Kagoshima... much further south). I 100% have the same feeling about Nara and have since I arrived in Japan. If I were to live anywhere else in Japan (that I've visited) it would be Nara. I feel a level of natural comfort there. My personal Goldilocks zone.
I actually like Kyoto as well. Big but not imposing the way I feel with Osaka and Tokyo. And... you can actually get along just using buses. My favorite large city in Japan.
I'm guessing that you were there around the first week of April. I was visiting Osaka and Kyoto with my daughter the same week.
The eye test probably wasn't Japanese letters. It's usually just a round letter "C" that is almost closed. You have to tell the direction it points... which you can do with your fingers. BUT you'd also need to understand when asked which is better etc.
Oskar, what you say about the peaceful, spiritual effects of gardens is quite right. The environment affects our moods, spirituality, even our mental health. That is why planning laws should forbid brutalist architecture, mandate plans to replace it with human -friendly living spaces and even increase taxes on construction firms that fail to meet human-friendly building standards. Love this video!
Man i want to go japan so mich😭🫶🏻♥️,amazing vid guys🥰
Welcome to Japan!
Whack a kossa 😆 If you are feeling for more of Mr Dans jokes, he`s gonna take a chair up on stage because he`s a sitdown comedian!!!
As always, THE food - I`m geting hungry with my morning coffee.
Have a good one.
Love from home ❤
Welcome to Japan👍
たくさん日本を満喫してください😊🌸
お！次は大阪編ですか？？
大阪が地元なので嬉しいです🙌
Japan never makes you get bored at a moment,right?
This is amazing :) So helpful as we plan our trip to Japan! Curious to know what camera do you use to film all of your travels?
We exclusively use iPhone 14 Pro Max :) But we midd the 13, it was better!
Hey boys always as ever a pleasure to see the pair of you having fun I think I too have fallen in love with Nara. It’s home,To2 of my son’s godfather;I watch the video when you first posted it and then called them because I recognise from the photographs they’re covered front door/gate which they confirmed and thought very funny. Such a shame they're able to be officially marriage in Jappan,but,tada,duel nations.They had a lovely wedding in London.
The deer were one of the first facts I learnt about Japan at school when I was seven obviously because of my friends I’ve always wanted to go and see them so we were making provisional plans for maybe next year, At about the time you guys are there, now.
Always so sweet to see the two of you together and loving each other’s company ;such wonderful role models something that wasn’t there when I was your age, Kufos.
As ever sending my very best regards/wishes to you and yours, safe journeys ❤️💯👏👏👏💥👊💙💙👌💯👋🌟’s💯✌️
❤️❤️
"You can see that this is an turist place because there is no line" ... yes, this is why I always run away from places in japan that do not have lines :) Thank you for another great video! Have you bean to the north of japan jet? Hokaido and that region? :)
Need to go to Hokkaido too🙌
What can you see? "Uhhh ...a squiggelly line with 2 dashes" and now? " a box shape thing with sort of T shape on top and a line through it" hahahaha
Did you try the eye the same time of day? I had glasses too strong for years because I used to do the eye test late afternoon after which my eyes did't work so great after PC work the whole day. Try in the mornings maybe?
Wow, that's so interesting! Thank you for sharing, will keep this in mind🙏
彼等が立っている場所は
1000年前からほとんど変わってないと思いますよ

Omg the amount if blossoms O_O
April 1-3👏
@@OskarandDan thank you
Oskar and Dan - what dates were you there? Want to get that weather!
April 1-3 in Nara!
How was it getting by with English compared to Kyoto?
PS: that 1-woman macrobiotic place didn't have macrobiotic-looking food!
About the same, almost non-existent😇
the first one ;))
Love your videos! Do you two have any wedding plans?
We'll see what the future holds...😇😁
Even as a Japanese your video made me want to visit Nara again 🤣
Nara is the capital before kyoto, so you can experience a different and older taste of “Japan”. And of course, Kyoto has become way too crowded to have a good time, so Nara is a really good choice!
Have you ever been to Vietnam? If not, why? ❤
And do you have any route you could recommend to fly from Sweden to Vietnam easiest?
Yes in 2019! The most comfy option would be one of the middle eastern airlines, like Emirates, Qatar, or Turkish Airlines
Hi
It's sad that Nara, an ancient capital with a history longer than that of Kyoto, is recognized by foreign tourists only as a deer park.
Well, it is not underrated, to be honest.
26?!! They look 36 😅😅😅
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ😅😅😅😅
“Okay, Daddy”
Deer daddy
奈良に限らず、日本の各地方の田舎はもっと本当の日本を知る良い方法かもしれないですよ？
是非、機会があれば、日本の田舎に行ってみてください。
意外に面白いところがありますよ？電車やバスを上手く使ってください。
That is not the south, that is western japan
Are you couple?
Nobody underrates Nara lol
Most people do Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka and skip Nara!
8:07 Nah, you don't have crackers...I'm not bowing!
