NEW Japan guide video for 2024: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKm0eKhmo9yabZY Addressing your biggest concerns about visiting - language, transport, costs and giving solutions to make your trip better

[@robbierambarose2225]

Amazing!Great food.

[@YuniIendi]

Nicevideo 😍 New friend coming 🙏

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Hey, it was April

[@dojome2145]

So I know it's been like 2 years since you went, but how much did you spend on this 2 week trip. (Excluding prices of say souvenirs) I'm curious because once I can save up enough money, I want to go there for 7-10 days by myself.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Hi. I think it was about £1500 for everything per person for the whole 2 weeks. We went in April this year again and I pre empted your question. I made a note of EVERY TRANSACTION I made while there and will be making a video on it later in the year. I looked at it properly yet but again it was around that cost. That is for everything except flights.

[@alaylakadph64]

You're a good storyteller. This only tells how much you love filmmaking. It feels like I am watching a documentary/magazine travel show.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thank you! That is what we do!!! Welcome

[@bx8ball]

You guys need to be given an Oscar award for best travel vlog 🥇never have I been so captured by a travel vlog where everything from filming to narrating really puts me as if I’m back in Japan. Your Vlog was so good that I was near tears by the end of it the same way I felt when I left. If you can do that to a viewer then you have great skills. 👏🏼

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Wow. Thank you. That’s amazing. Not sure if you’ve seen my other vlogs on here but if not I’m sure you’ll enjoy those too. 😀

[@incrediblemissy7563]

It's like watching a documentary show on TV! I like how soothing the pace of the video is and yet so informative. Well done!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

That is so good to hear! Thank you! Marrakesh and Tuscany are coming soon so please subscribe for more. Thanks again.

[@pikaiboo8845]

I share the same thought, i really love to watch your Videos! Mind i ask what camera do u use for filming? ^^

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Hi. Thank you! Everything I do is shot on iPhone. This vlog was 90% iPhone 6S with some 7 plus thrown in.

[@pikaiboo8845]

:D Nice! Thanks for your answer. Hi btw haha.

[@ashiskumardas785]

It is related to us very much i am indian !

[@joanreeseNYCartist]

Thanks!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thank you 🙏

[@irwantorasad]

I almost never watched and finished a 46 minutes travel vlog, but your vlog flows so natural and smooth as if i was there myself, i watched it till the end. Good job

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

That’s great feedback! Thank you! If you like my style, please check out my other full length vlogs here kzbin.info/aero/PLszSmMLISbAcilIqoPDeBLzx40PjI7cAE

[@srujanjaaware4909]

One of the best Japan Vlog I have seen so far. TREMENDOUSLY MAGISTICAL

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thank you! We travelled to Japan a month ago so stay tuned for a sequel coming soon...

[@ggtaka2543]

こんなに隅々まで日本を紹介くださってありがとうございます。

[@lanacheng8709]

Perfect fun for armchair travelers-and definitely inspiring a visit to Japan!

[@OMG_LoL]

I have traveled all over the world, but Japan is the only country where every day is exciting. Wagyu beef and ramen are delicious, but is it magic that even McDonald's hamburgers, which are supposed to be the same, taste so good?

[@zeenesa7134]

Thank you 🙏 so much for taking us to Japan 🇯🇵 it is so breathtaking!!

[@peterpadar3498]

Dear Paul and of course Chiaki, first I thought what is this for a dude...but then I really starting to like your travel blog. I'm planning to visit also Japan again and find a lot good hints and ideas ... very helpful. And your videos are nicely done and sometimes also really kind of funny. Well done. You have a fan more! Thanks for sharing and keep travelling!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Haha welcome. What gave you a negative first impression?

[@60skinny]

I will be back in Japan in no time. I still have lots to see. Love Japan

[@geraldbaria]

This is how you do a proper travel video. Good mix of info and personality.

[@trumpsahead]

That was a very satisfying video; Lord, what I've been missing. Japan knows how to live.

[@Tremere1-k4c]

I love this video, it was a spark to make a plan when I needed one about 6 years ago. You wanted to go to Japan...and you made it happen, step by step. So thank you for making cool content and sending your wayfarer magic out into the world, you never know when it's just what someone needed, yokatta. :) I and my wayfarer daughters thank you!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

That’s lovely to read!

[@HarishKumar-yj2iz]

I just visited japan 3 weeks ago and it was one of the best trips of my life. Not only does your video capture the details of the locations, but the essence and ethos of it. Your commentary is well versed, informative, and doesn't feel over the top like so many other vlogs. Even though its been just three weeks, this video made me want to go back there again. You have earned my subscription.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! This video took me months to make so its really nice to hear when people get what I was trying to accomplish. Thank you.

[@LauraDunmyer]

I just returned from Japan on a 15 day trip, planned with many parts of this vlog in mind. We literally had the same cherry blossom experience! "It's impossible to get tired of looking at Cherry Blossoms!" LMAO! We did all the things in Hakone, saw some monkeys, ate too many fish for breakfast, learned how to make sushi, saw a few million cherry blossoms, spent time in the onsen and fell in love with Japan. I can't thank you enough for this video. I hope it inspires many to take the journey!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Wow, thanks Laura for letting me know! It’s really nice to hear and inspires me to continue making videos. We also just got back from japan so we were probably there the same time! I will be releasing that video in a few months so maybe that’ll inspire another trip! Thanks again. 😊

[@RubiMercuri]

hey did you use the JR pass? and do you think i can get through the trip solo for 14 days with 2000 dollars?? i want to take a similar route too.

[@LauraDunmyer]

@@RubiMercuri sorry, I just saw this. Yes, I totally used the JR Pass and I would highly recommend it. I think you could do a 14 day trip on that budget for sure.

[@rext8949]

Poetry in motion - Japan in all its shades and colours .Japan is one of those countries which have managed to hold on to its culture and tradition even while taking great strides in sci and tech . You've done a great job in capturing it's quintessence in people , food , nature and the environment . Living in Japan is truly an art , being a part of the whole .What a splendid experience .Thanks for the trip . I couldn't help noticing your delight in being with your friends in Halone .

[@donnahayes91]

[@FrederikEngelmand]

エジプトのカイロに住んでいます。サントリーニ島のビデオを懐かしく拝見した後に、日本旅行のビデオを楽しみましたが、やはり比べる物がないほど刺激、サービス、癒しに溢れた国だと、再認識しました。映像の編集も、飽きさせることなくテンポの良い流れでとても素晴らしいと思います‼️今後も楽しみにしております💖

[@CommViewer]

Great quality video - high quality content, thoughtful, got some great ideas - Thanks for posting !

[@phillipaarakie7820]

I watch quiet a lot of travel vlogs and yours is one of the best I have seen. You are both very natural and endearing people with sharing your lives for others to see. Absolutely loved your trip to Japan and looking forward to watching your other vlogs.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Wow, what a nice comment! Thank you for saying. It’s always nice to hear feedback from people so it’s appreciated. I only post ever month or so, so I’d suggest taking a look at my Full Length Travel playlist as that has vlogs similar to Japan. Thanks again.

[@craigrentz4810]

I really enjoyed this video, and it brought back so many good memories of my days living in Japan from 2002 to 2003. Thank you!

[@MrRyanJ77]

Always love the concierge service in Japan of sending the luggage before check in. Seems to be the only country doing that. Brilliant.

[@inessachimato8461]

I just came back from Japan. And feeling like homesick since I want to be back. So this is very comforting. Thank you

[@JamesVincex]

Japan has the best medical system I've ever seen in the world! I had a bike accident on the streets of Osaka. I got messed up. I walked 3 miles to the hospital and immediately before they even took my name 8 people came out and took me into a room. Operated on my face, fixed me up gave me some pain medicine and some antibiotics too so it didn't get worse. It cost $97. That included a second visit where they took out my stitches. A week later my kaisha hoken (company insurance) kicked and I got a rebate for the full $97. I have never been so taken care of anywhere in the world for $97 in my life. Japan doesn't do all things right. But health 100% is one of them!

[@alkistinicolaou5359]

Your video was somuch fun! Thank you for introducing Japan while offering us a laugh too!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thanks so much. I’ve lots of videos similar to this one so hopefully they can keep you company. 😁

[@hannahpierce1062]

This is probably the best Vlog of a holiday I've seen and since I prepare for my own holiday, I've seen quite a lot. This is just so infomative and entertaining at the same time, I highly recommend anyone to watch this if you wanna get an inside look at what a holiday in Japan can be like. Definitely worth the time!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Your video is very detailed and clear. Most tour guides omit the details. It's great to know the details particularly the transportation . Thank you.

[@Beth74]

What a fabulous video! I felt like I was watching a fun BBC programme. I enjoyed it so much and learned a great deal. I've already recommended it to a friend who is heading to Japan in March 2018. I am sure he will find it helpful.

Your content, editing and production is incredible. First vlog of yours I have watched. I will be going for 14 days but it seems like 2 weeks is not enough! All the aspects you mentioned at the end of the video confirms that I will enjoy Japan very much...

Wow that was one of the best travel vlogs about Japan I seen on KZbin.:) Very nice.

[@andrewvernon4664]

I want to do everything in this video with the exception of the plane ride, jet-lag, back-pain and hospital part. Considering that mere pictures of Mount Fuji emanate a powerful "energy", I can only imagine what it's like in person. I've been to Niagara Falls so I imagine it would feel similar. I wish that I could afford to go to Japan someday. My dream would be to go on a tourist trip around Japan, South Korea, China, and Mongolia. Until then, I guess I will have to enjoy it vicariously through videos like this. Thanks for this amazing video! I appreciate that you took the time during your trip to make this video so that we can enjoy a little bit of Japan right here at home.
