Came from a video of people that flew business class, stayed in expensive hotels, ate expensive food and used taxis to get everywhere, to this video and since I'm trying to pull off 3 1/2 weeks in £2000, this is really appreciated😂
how did you do? I’m working with about £3000 for 18 days and I think it will be a stretch 😅
@@tdolan500that's loads! I've got a budget of £1500 for 14 days over Xmas (not including flights). Found hotels for about £35-£40/night.
Wondering hows ur 2000 trip went?
is this including flights?
How did you do? This is incredibly doable for 1 person if your flights and hotels have been paid for, you don’t have any big events and you have time to travel slow meaning cheaper travel instead of bullet trains! I spent 1000 in 12 days. But if I miss the clothes shopping it was around 500 quid. So it can be done!
One of the coolest things to do in Osaka is join a meetup with locals who love meeting and speaking in English with foreigners.
It’s refreshing seeing a channel with genuine content that a regular person can relate to. Don’t get me wrong it’s cool seeing all these luxury videos but I can’t relate to it at all. This I can actually relate to and it has many tips for when I take my trip to Japan in the future. Thank you and keep up the great content.
38:44 I actually LOVE this concept and it really makes sense to make travel videos in this format. There are videos I've seen of travelers who will share their experience, while spending WAYYYY too much money (i.e., $250 a night hotel for 1 person) and not giving a "true" travel experience that the general public can experience.
Love all your videos, especially the longer ones! It’s like watching a movie. Josh, STAY on your soapbox because i don’t know anyone who can afford to travel the way these “influencers” do. Thank you for offering a REAL perspective with attainable travel goals. Also love the cost breakdown at the end of each video. 👏🏾
thank you so much, this means so much to us to hear :) ill dust off that soapbox for the next video
@@LisaAndJosh which would u choose if you had to live there?
i total agree, with you.

Your budget-friendly adventure through Kyoto and Osaka is a testament to the idea that incredible experiences don't always require a hefty price tag. It resonates with the teachings of Lisa Haisha, reminding me of the value found in simplicity and meaningful moments. Just as Lisa encourages us to embrace the beauty in every journey, your travel vlog sparks a sense of wanderlust and a desire to create unforgettable memories. Both you and Lisa are my compasses, guiding me toward a life filled with inspiration and greatness!
I am so glad I found you both! I have followed Kara and Nate for years and they have moved into the luxury market and the adrenaline junkie market. I’m a regular person with regular disposable income. You have been wonderful giving us ideas and commentary on places that I might have ruled out, but can possibly consider. I’m a fan! Thank you and please keep up your “budget” format. We all know we will go over occasionally, but it’s good to have a plan.
Osaka/Kansai region is much cheaper than Tokyo. it’s got a lot more culture than Tokyo, n people r more friendly. You can find bento lunches in supermarket for less than 500 yen. So $50 per day per person goes a long way, esp right now $ is so high. I can’t wait to go back.
Haven’t finished watching this video, but I have to say, you guys have made my future trip to Japan more exciting and less fearful. You give great info on what to eat, what to see, and what to expect when traveling to Kyoto/Osaka. Thank you so much for your vids 🙂
this makes us so happy to hear!! thanks for watching :)
I have to agree! Going for my first time in 2 days, and this video helped me more than any so far! I didn't even know about Ubigi until just now... and now I actually have better coverage at home lolol
Love these longer-format videos. You two are by far my favorite travel vloggers on CZcams. Such genuine, thoughtful, and well-produced content. Thank you!!!
Wow, thank you!!
Thank you for the awesome video! There was so much valuable information in it! Your trip was legendary!
What an awesome video, thank you so much Lisa and Josh! I didn't want it to end. This video will come in handy when we visit next month cannot wait cheers guys
I just love how detailed, well planned and fun your videos are. Thank you for great content :) going to use some advices on our journey to Japan.
Stumbled upon your video and love how informative this is!! Totally helps for my future trip, thank you!!
Great Vlogs. Just so basic, unpretentious and so so informative. We will be there this December. THANK YOU BOTH !!!
you both are AMAZING!!! we travel with out 2 kids and have been blessed to travel many places and this is exactly how we travel , my kids at their you age have learned to appreciate all the do have and enjoy all that is given to them. You video is amazing! wish I knew how to do all this to show how a family with 2 little ones can travel on a budget too.
Thank you for this informative video for us normal people who have a budget. And thank you for the nostalgia, because I was in Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Mt. Fuji) in April for two weeks and loved it😊
ooo we wish we also made it to Mt Fuji this trip!! Glad you had a good time!
-your fellow real travelers ☺️
New to the channel and already loving !!! Great job guys.
All the best 🤩😄☺️
This video is exactly what I needed! My trips coming up and I’ve been super nervous about (daily) budgeting. But this video definitely eased some of my concerns! Thank you!
Thank Ya'll So Much For Making These Videos.
Its Great That Ya'll Talk About The Budget, The Food🤤🤤 The Excursions, And Everything.
It Really Gives An Accurate Perspective.
Thank You!
Ignore the green pineapple, I'm actually a travel blogger, have been 12 years. 7 years full-time. We used to try to stay around $50 per day, for a family of 4! $100/day is comfortable in most countries for long-term travel. Then we started earning a lot with the website and started splurging on Bhutan / Singapore, all the big $ places. But I like budget, budget is fun. It's a challenge. We're planning Japan now, leaving in just a few days and we are spending a mint! When you only have 10 days to see as much as you can it really adds up . I just booked Universal Osaka and a big $ hotel at Universal for 2 nights. Your videos are really helpful for food costs. It's all very deep fried though, not what I'd want to eat. But I'm sure my son will love it. I'm really impressed with how cheap the trains are, hotels are really quite reasonable too. We're going to Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and probably Hiroshima, staying in each. We only take carry on so I don't mind moving hotels. Great job!
Hi there, pls share you experience in Nara and Hiroshima, no kids for us tho
Superb tour , one of the most deepest dive into the ancient capital and the kitchen of Japan it can't get any better with Lisa and Josh as our wonderful and lovely host , Thank You
First time I'm seeing your videos as I do extensive research into my own future trip in Japan and I loved it! One of the more unique things I've found about your video is the financial mindfulness that I really appreciated! I unfortunately live in the real world and really have to budget for all the really small things as a tourist to keep the vacation affordable. So THANK YOU for this video, it gave me hope and realistic expectations for my visit to Japan!!!
Hands down you two are freaking awesome!! I’m heading to Japan in 5 days and watching your time here INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE.
Love you content. Honest and down to earth.
I really appreciate the timestamps, thank you!
Loved seeing Kyoto and Osaka through your perspective. I picked up some tips along the way!
Thank you and love how genuine you guys are. So much good tips and can’t wait to do the trip this spring! Thank you sincerely!
Just found this channel a few days ago and I’ve been binge watching. I love your adorable travel videos for Japan. I’m planning my trip there and your content has been so helpful! ❤
You guys are amazing! Love watching your adventures together!!! Omg the food looks so good
Great video thank you guys for this fun vlog! I appreciate all the info for eating on a budget. Looking forward to more
waited along time for this vlog ,
finally you made it to the most enchanting place on earth
Thank you for making this. I'm planning my first trip to japan right now and seeing how it's possible to have a good time even on a limited budget takes some of the stress out of it.
This is surely beneficial to our Osaka trip at the end of this month! It's so many options for our itinerary! ☺It's so true when Josh talks about keeping the budget as low as possible. It is the key for us, travel content creators, to keep the travel journey as long as possible 👍
My first time encountering your videos and channel. I do really like your style of presentation/editing. Subscribed and keep them coming!
I love your video and I can't believe I watched 1 hour video on regular speed. You guys are awesome and truly helped me to plan my JP trip.
What a great video ! I felt as thought I was traveling along side you all ! Continue to show everyone that traveling is fun and obtainable ( you just might have to put in a little more planning) Thank you for sharing !!
I subscribed within 5 minutes of watching. You guys are great! Thanks for the quality content 💗
Thanks so much!!! :)
Thank you guys for this awesome video with so much information to get inspo from! And I love the $100 a day mission and really share a lot of sentiments from what Josh said.
What a wholesome video. I didn’t even realize I was already 35 minutes in. Thank you for your authenticity and genuineness!
I love your channel because it's useful to us traveling on a realistic budget :) Keep up the good work.
Really love the content Lisa & Josh! Love how you show how real people would travel, definetly using these tips when I go :)
What a fabulous video, incredible entertainment from a great couple. Thank you!!!!!
This and your Tokyo video are so inspiring and informative, really getting me pumped for my trip! Thank you.
Absolutely love your videos. Your videos seem to be spontaneous and improvised. But I know that you do a great job!
I'm so excited! Watching this while working right now, but can't wait to be able to give this my undevided attention. I've learned the most from watching you all explore Japan than probably any other content creators. And enjoyed every minute of it, too. Educational, and fun to watch
Hi. Am Darrius Jayson from Greece 🇬🇷,Athen and I live in Maryland, Baltimore. I love ❤️ japan actor and South Korea. How long have you been a fan.
Excellent!! Travelling to Japan in the fall. Loved the video and your personal perspectives. Will now check out your others! Thanks so much!
editing tip: every time you buy something and have the cash popup, play the noise first immediately before the popup, and let the popup linger so that viewers can read it without having to backtrack. i found myself backtracking constantly because im trying to learn
Great video! So many helpful tips, I especially appreciated the onsen guide. We're going to Japan in late November for the first time 🙂.
love your videos! so genuine and spontaneous!!!
Loves this video!! I appreciate the thought that goes into all your videos and how you aim to show us as much of your experience as possible without it feeling like youre showing too much or cutting out too much / overediting. Your videos are well edited and its a joy to watch your adventures 😊 merci beaucoup!
thanks so much for the thoughtful comment--we appreciate it! :)
Extremely helpful! I’ll visit Japan specifically Kyoto, Osaka & Nagoya this year and will be staying in Kyoto too.. really great vid for me to enjoy the trip without overspending
I was meant to go to sleep ages ago and found your video and it was so worth the less sleep. Brilliant.
Thanks for being real and relatable and so easy to watch. Can't wait for more (especially Japan stuff!) 😊
Wow, thank you for watching! Sleep well! 🙃
Nice video, Lisa and Josh. You guys are keeping it real by visiting these places which the common salarymen would visit. I've seen other travelers who go on expensive travels which don't really make sense. Keep up the good work! ✌
What a showman that Omurice chef was! Hoping to try it soon 🤞. Thanks for the recommendation, Lisa & Josh.
This is the most wholesome video on Osaka and Kyoto. I love it because it gives me so much inspiration and excitement especially when it comes to biking.
Wow, thank you! :)
Loved this! Subscribed! You guys deserve to be explode!
Hi Lisa and Josh! Loved this video and love your channel! You two are fun to watch and your commentaries/insights are much appreciated. Your video brought back so many memories of my time in Kyoto and Osaka, I enjoyed living vicariously through you. The Nara trip was the most amusing, RIP Lisa's jacket! Thanks for sharing all the places you went to (some were new to me) and please do more of the longer format!
Hey, thanks so much!! Nara was such a fun trip (and Lisa is still wearing that jacket! but it is definitely time to let it gooo) haha
I love your videos, especially your travels in Japan. You both are charismatic and are natural in your presentations. Your personalities come through in your videos and give the viewer the feeling that we are watching friends on their travels. This makes watching an hour long video a pleasure. And yes, I appreciate your style of travel of sticking to a budget, finding restaurants frequented by locals, and eating great food at a reasonable price. Best wishes on your travels and growth of your channel. Gord
thanks so much for the kind words, Gord!
You guys are the best. I can’t believe that I watched the full hour! Thank you for being entertaining and for sharing where you went/ate at. I also appreciate that you had a budget to show that we don’t need a lot of money to travel/have a good time. :):) I’m definitely going to check out some of the places that you both tried!!
thanks so much for watching!!
I enjoy watching your videos, It is a wonderful experience. I thank you guys so much for providing this wonderful opportunity.
Thank you for such an informative video. I'll be going in December
Thank you for doing the budget video's. I feel like I can relate and get ideas on how to travel affordable and sustainable.
What a fun video guys! I love the music and positive vibes.
I like the idea of having guests on the show a lot. 👍
You can tell in the first 60 seconds that Lisa & Josh are smart,
professional (with great visuals, editing, music, and narration),
and above all, ENTERTAINING.
I paused to subscribe at that point. So nice to come across a new source for excellent travel videos!
You two are so wholesome ❤For me, food is my favorite thing about traveling so that's what I allocate most of my budget for, but you're right that not everyone can spend X amount of money on something luxurious and it's really awesome to see what you can get for $100 a day. The most important thing is that you're enjoying being there and that definitely shows in your videos! ❤
So true! thanks for watching!!
What a wonderful way to spend an hour on the afternoon of July Fourth in middle Tennessee. I love your travels, your commentary, the food you eat, the places you stay. Excellent videography and pleasant dispositions from you both. Thanks for a sweet treat this hot summer holiday. 🙂
thanks so much for watching!! :) hope you enjoyed your holiday
Oooh❤ You Two make everything seem like so much fun I like the way you travel❤
This was such a fun watch! Im planning on going to Japan next year so this was really helpful and added a few more must visit places to my list! ✨️
Found you guys on taipei video, but stay for the kyoto & osaka! Great job done ! Can't wait for your next adventures!
Awesome! Thank you for coming along!! :)
Finally found the realest bloggers ! Entertaining to watch , I’ve learn a lot before I head to Kyoto ! Thanks guys ! The sumo part was funny !
Really appreciate the budget breakdown!
I love how real this video is! My partner was like I dont think they ever went back for the second shot on the same spot. I love how chill you guys are as well. ❤❤
Appreciate you guys looking out for the common travelers who are budget-conscious! It's eye-opening to see how cheap good food is over there!
Loved this video, the idea of renting a bike to get around Kyoto had necer really occured to me but it looks safe enough and tons of fun so definitely going to give it a go when we travel for our honeymoon next month!
so true,a budget travel is a good video to watch rather than other youtubers who spends a very expensive transportations and restaurants not everybody can afford,loved watching your videos.
Your videographer skills are so awesome. You have captured Kyoto from so many angles and provided invaluable nuggets of info for anyone curious about the Kyoto experience. Congrats 🎊
thanks for the kind words! Kyoto is incredibly beautiful, so it helps to want to capture every part of the city :)
I love that Japan does have so much delicious budget priced foods! It’s most of my travelling and living experiences there. Agree, that you notice the change in numbers of people growing over time! In the early 90’s we caught the overnight Friday bus from Tokyo but did splurge on a beautiful ryokan stay by the Philosophers path (not that we knew it was called that at that time). Then the Sunday evening bullet train back. Only 2 full days in Kyoto, but it worked for us at that time living there on a budget. July 2014 we returned as a family and stayed for 2 nights in Kyoto and 2 nights in Nara. A lot busier but still loved it. Then January 2020 just my daughter and I were there but really slowed the pace. After arriving in Arashiyama from Amanohashidate we stayed one night and I loved the quiet afternoon once everyone left. Then arrived mid morning in Nara for 2 nights and left our bags with our budget hotel reception, and again the explored the park in the later part of the afternoon once crowd numbers went down. For me that’s definitely the plus side of staying nearby. From there we slowed it even more by staying in Kyoto for 5 nights (3 weeks in Japan in total) and I agree, it really made for a wonderful non rushed holiday. But it wasn’t my first time, so I get the need for less time in places to see and travel more if it’s going to be a one off time. Looking forward to where in Japan you headed to next.
Congratulations, both of you. Thoroughly enjoyed your video and especially your easy going, gentle but informative style (no forced enthusiasm here). 👍We are visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka next week and your videos have been a fantastic guide for us - we will follow many of your recommendations. Well done again on such great videos, happy to subscribe and look forward to catching up on your video library.
heeyyy, thanks for watching and subscribing! :) excited for your trip--have a great time!!
You met some very interesting and warm people in this video. Great job
You guys are awesome ! That's the way to live the best experience. People often say Japan is expensive but you are proving that it is not the case. It feels even better to live like locals, seems like you experience true Japan. Cheers from France.
Well said! thanks for watching and cheers!
Such a great vlog👏
I am now obsessed with the guy in the restaurant saying "Ahhhh" and all of his wonderful antics. You guys rock. Great video.
So glad I found y’all! Loving the you both are money conscience with all your tips.
Lisa- which face lotion is it that you use?? I couldn’t see from the video!
The both of you are so cute! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure! You made me laugh out loud several times in your video. Looked like you had a lot of fun there! I enjoyed my time in Kyoto last year and I am planning to go back next year. Can’t wait!
thanks for comingg along!! :)
two of you have more fun than anyone else, regardless of budget, I cabt think of a better end of the night than sipping convenience store sake and watching the city lights.
could not agree more. :)
I’m loving these longer videos. Yes, budget travel for everyday people. Keep them coming!
More to come! :)
stumbled on your channel while looking for inspiration for my upcoming Japan trip and i gotta say i just love all your videos :D :D :D such genuine people and love all the tips and tricks
thank you so much! :)
This was very informative. Thank you
Great video, we were in Kyoto and Osaka a couple of years ago, thanks a lot for reminding us of the memories ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great travel video and lots of great ideas 😊
Thank you so much for this video - it felt like hanging out with you guys on your trip :-)
Amazing video, super entertaining as always
You just took one of my precious hours, but I assure you that your video is very valuable to watch before going to Japan! Thank you for the sumo part; I found it very amusing. I will be traveling to Japan this April and will use your experiences as my reference.😎😉
Love all your videos best video that i like the most is the one which was very long … Thats awesome
I loved your guide! You two are so sweet and how you like to end the night in Kyoto, sipping sake by the river was so cute ❤
Thank you so much!! It was the best little routine :)
this was very meditative, on its own pace, just experiencing the world of Kyoto Osaka Nara on your own terms. Not flashy not in a hurry. Quite enjoyable thanks.
I thought I had a short attention span, but I can’t believe I just finished your video and was like: wait that’s one hour? Very nice and genuine content ❤
Thank you for sharing all the tips! Now I cannot wait to visit Osaka and Kyoto in Nov!
Have fun!
Great video! love the $$ breakdown. Very valuable reviews, info, suggestions.....Real video from real people :) thank you!
Me thinking I missed a huge video in my binge and here it just dropped three hours ago!! I’m so ready
Great video Guys! Love the content and vibe. You are absolutely right. This is a real video about real people traveling, eating and getting the most value out of their hard earned dollars. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!! Hope these help others out there do the same :)
こちらまで気持ちよくなる嬉しそうな笑顔の二人でした。
