Good tips guys
Thank you! Always appreciate the support on the vids!
Thank you g&s..
Of course :) We always appreciate the support 😁😁
Awesome video with great details for those of us planning to travel to Japan! I really appreciate travel vids that don't just turn into drone footage showing "amazing" views that our traveling eyes wont actually see lol.
Thanks for the input! Means a lot to us!
Hi! Wanted to say thank you for making this!! This video has been such a help planning my trip! I was curious how guys got from the Mt. Fuji area to Kyoto (like which station was the easiest to leave from)? Which route did you find worked best for you guys?? Thanks so much!! :)
Aw thanks for the feedback! We used Google Maps and just punched in the coordinates and took the best route according to that!
For all the temples and parks did you guys book in advance or as you went ? Wonderful video ! Thank you for being super helpful!
No we just did it as we went!! Only thing we booked in advance was the geisha tea ceremony!
Japan ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼
It was absolutely a dream 😍😍
I will have to google Minoh city
Is Japan on your bucket list?
Japan is def on my bucket list after watching your video!!
@@kenzileevlogs awe thanks for watching Kenzi!! 💓
I'm pretty sure the plane went to the other direction (20:20). 😂 Great video, thanks for the tips!!!
Hahaha thank you 😂😂
Love this!!!
If you think that you will only ride JR trains then it is worth it but we didn't think so!
Thanks for the info! I’ll be taking my 81 year old mom and my 7 year old son in August. 😬😬
That’s awesome! Have an amazing time!! ❤️🙌🥹
Is there any reliable courier that we can send luggage from hotel to airport and store for 2 days before flight?
Do you use debit card for ATM? Would think better than using credit card
The reason why everything is 3 and not 4 is because in many Asian cultures, 4 sounds similar to death. That's why in Japan the number 4 is avoided. Buildings does not have level 4 and in some buildings floor levels 40-49 are skipped
I will be traveling to Japan in October and staying for 2 weeks we are staying in Tokyo but want to visit Kyoto and Osaka can we visit these places at a reasonable price without purchasing the JR pass? When do you feel it’s worth it to buy the JR pass?
We think the JR is worth it if you are doing lots of day trips and taking tons of bullet trains in a week. We only took 2 bullet trains so it was not worth it for us.
Did you fly into hineda or narita for airports in Tokyo?
We flew into Narita for the airport!
What was customs and immigration like when landing in Japan? I haven't seen too many people talking about the declaration forms given on flight or in the airport when you land. That's one thing I'm super nervous about. I'm confused on if it's required for all passengers regardless of what they brought with them, or only for those that meet the restricted items listed.
Every person entering the country goes through customs! It was super easy - just fill out a form whether or not you are declaring something, show them your passport and you're on your way! They have lots of people in the airport to help you if you get confused!
@@TheLoversPassport Thank you for the quick reply!! What does it mean to "declare something"? I suppose it just asks you what items you brought inside your carry-on AND your checked luggage?
do we tip taxi drivers?
No tipping! It is disrespectful
Sounds like zipper is a good idea
I'm so let down by the fact that this video is 40 minutes long actually that makes me happy but the fact that you show your face is so much turned me off
hope you enjoy minus our ugly faces that had the audacity to talk on our own channel lol 😂
As someone from the Philippines, Japan 🇯🇵🇯🇵 is one of the best countries to visit and live in here in Asia well-developed and very rich nation.
It was such a an amazing place to see!
