Thanks Iggy. Yeah we thought the gambling encouragement was pretty funny too. Update.... no luck this year with the gambling 😂 Next up fami resu, Nakano, Milky Parfait in Ikebukuro 😋, ramen and Narita san. Then new adventures coming in January when we hit Japan this winter 🤗 -Mel

Hahaha there are many cats so yeah do it!! It is worth the distance to Japan, though fair warning, you will always want to go back. Two weeks is a good amount of time for a first visit. You will be fine with little to no Japanese too but knowing the basics like hello, thank you, excuse me etc goes a long way. Thanks for stopping by. New adventures begin in December (will be up in January) so stay tuned.

You can find the details at 4:20 in the video with subtitled information on where to find this stamp. Hope that helps. Its a beautiful stamp and the staff were fantastic. I would definitely recommend a separate Eki stamp book as it will fill up quickly. Enjoy your trip.

We really enjoyed flying with Philippine airlines. There was a little issue on the way home with customs and baggage transfers to Australia due to our strict measures here but thats not the airlines fault. Would fly with them again. Hopefully next time we can explore the Philippines : ) Thank you for watching and commenting.

Thanks

Glad it was helpful!

Winter. December early Jan.

Thank you so much Rui : ) We appreciate your support of our channel and wish you a Merry Christmas and safe, Happy New Year!! John and Mel

Thanks 🤗

Think we will need to cut back on the larger toy machines next trip lol. It was a struggle to get them all home.

Sugar Butter Sandtree. It can be found at Tokyo station and many other locations. They have a shop front at Ueno Station too which would have more flavours available. We got the plain one from Shinjuku station. I highly recommend the banana flavour, its delicious.

I absolutely love Cinnamoroll. Ghibli park would be amazing to visit. Hopefully soon. Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you so much. That means so much. We'll be back with new content next year but finishing up Japan trip (very overdue lol) in the meantime. Video dropping in next day or two. We have a Canon R but still find canon G7x easy for vlogging as its light, compact and does 1080p. Thanks for the comment and taking the time to stop by : )

Awesome, I hope things are fully opened up by then and you have an amazing time. Japan can definitely be experienced on a budget. Nikko was a fantastic experience and we hope to visit again.

go big or go home so they say ; )

Thank you so much and thanks for stopping by our channel : )

Hope you enjoy the flight!! thanks for stopping by our channel.

Happy holidays! thanks for stopping by.

Prices would have changed since we filmed this video but you can get great deals online if you look around. Business hotels are a very affordable but comfortable option.

So true. You know its summer in Japan when you hear them. Thanks for stopping by.

Milk Ice cream is the best. So refreshing. Hokkaido Milk ice cream is a must try.

It's Tonkatsu Oribe, address is 111-0032 Tokyo, Taito City, Asakusa, 1 Chome -9-1. If your facing Kaminarimon Gate in Asakusa, go left and its not far down. It's on the right side of the main road. Web - www.tonkatsu-oribe.jp It really is so delicious with the mustard, fresh cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.

@@ExpressPassExplore Thanks for the answer :) I put it on my food map for Tokyo

Glad you enjoyed it : ) Depachika food is on another level in Japan. Can't wait to return once things become better. Thank's for stopping by.

Glad you found our video helpful. Shoot us any questions in the comments and we'll do our best to get back to you. Thanks for visiting Express Pass Explore ; )

I’m sure you’ll get there one day. Japan is a beautiful country with so much to explore and Tokyo is an amazing and vibrant city.

Wandering in Motion I think it was the coldest we felt all trip but with the right clothing, some heat packs and a nice hot bowl of ramen you soon warm up. So beautiful, hope to return one day 😊

Chris Ambrose the snow was so beautiful. We were very lucky to experience such an amazing adventure right before the pandemic hit. Hopefully things improve soon so we can all continue to support the travel industry🙏🏼

Very true lol

Florence Leow Hi Florence💖 your awesome!! thank you so much for supporting our channel. Really appreciate it😊 Hope you enjoy our content🤗

@@ExpressPassExplore🌿😍 You are very welcome!

Sorry can't remember what model plane it was but you may be able to find out if you look up what Qantas uses for flights to Tokyo : )

Lol not alone apparently

We travelled during Japans summer (August) for that video, super hot in summer. We have a new Japan series at the moment where we travelled this past winter up to Sapporo. If you enjoy our content be sure to subscribe if you haven't already : )

@@ExpressPassExplore Thank you xx

Omg especially in Japan's summer heat. I struggle in shorts and a teeshirt so cant imagine. I think some suits can have an air supply? not sure how it works.

We wish we could have seen a lot more but so much was closed over the new year holiday. We have one more full day in the next video and visit the A Factory which was great for cider tasting but thats all we really were able to do. I think hiring a car would be a good option to see more next time. We crave ramen all the time but especially in winter : ) Thanks for watching Yoshi.

I know right : ( It's so hard, we have tried everything, work every angle and are very active on Instagram, twitter and FB but our subs and views won't budge. We work hard on our content so its disheartening. So happy you were able to find us. Hope you enjoy our content. Thank you for stopping by to comment. Grateful for any shares/likes.

We post almost daily on Instagram if your on there. Its @express_pass_explore Thanks again for the recent comments. Every little bit helps.

Yeah the next morning was a little rough lol

Thank you so much. It's tough to see some things but an important part of history we should never forget. Hiroshima is a beautiful city and the people are so amazing. Definitely want to go back soon, its become a favourite for sure. Hope you are still able to get there in 2021, be sure to let us know your thoughts if you do : )

Me too! How was it?

so good!!

Us too. Always can't wait to get back there.

Express Pass Explore you just got a sub

Cheers Kurt!! Thank you and welcome to the EPE community 😊

Janet Simms Japan has heated items in the vending machines in winter. It’s great for warming the hands up too. He had the warm corn soup I believe. You can tell the heated items as they display a red label and the cold items a blue label.

Sorry not 100% sure but its directly opposite the market so you cant miss it😊
