48 Hours in Kyoto

[@potatoprsk]

"So we've been living in Japan for 4 years" WAIT IT'S BEEN *THAT* LONG? How time surely flies... i remember you guys were testing out that horrible japanese strawberry curry package in your temporary apartment...

[@lavendermenace8078]

EC _9700 omg I remember that too!! It’s so cool to see how much more comfortable they are in japan and to see them flourish and grow. I feel like a proud parent even though I’m a few years younger than them.

[@BananononJakuzure]

I remember when they were still playing Japanese games to learn the alphabet.. Aw shit.

[@Fishheadmeow]

reminded me of the "forgot to pack underwear" incident~ XD

[@DeadlyCyanide1]

I know right it feels like it's only been yesterday since they moved there. I've been watching the video since like May be the first or second year of them posting the videos and I just was like holy crap they're right it's been 4 years haha!! Insane.

[@beeveearr]

Same! I went "whaaaa?" Feels like yesterday Martina was crying about leaving her fridge behind

[@eatyourkimchi]

We've been working on this video for a while, and we really like how it turned out. We hope you like it too! Here's our little guide to 48 hours in Kyoto!

[@BigBangfanforlife]

Simon and Martina great video!!

[@jazzminb]

Every time I hear the name Kyoto I think of the 80s The Cure song Kyoto Song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKaoiaygd7Ofnas

[@skulleigh5867]

Expentual is my new favorite word.

[@Jayjoy94]

SNUFFMUFFLER!!! 🐶🐾

[@CatalinaCNV]

You guys are becoming so much better in your videos, i feel like I am watching a little documentary every time you make a main video post. Awesome visuals, awesome content, fantastic people!

[@katyoutnabout5943]

See, this is why i like you guys. You don’t advertise the hot spots or the “hidden gems” that would appeal to a larger audience. Instead, you stay true to what you guys like. You had shots of temples and historical buildings here and there, but i like that all the places you focused on were all things you both love. The early-morning diners and the hipster coffee shop and the choclate boutique and the udon and the home cooking. Half those things you would never find in any other japan-inspired video. It’s what makes your channel unique and it’s why people are drawn to your channel. Thanks for another great video!

[@eddieshiu2018]

Ditto, well said.

[@lucygrayson6034]

I feel like I haven’t seen Dan in absolutely ages, WELCOME BACK!!!!

[@hilmaandersson7855]

I was starting to really miss him!

[@MrVidau]

This video is quintessential S&M: Beautiful shots, homey atmosphere, silly jokes, loving couple moments, incredible food and a little Dan on the side. Wonderful.

[@daniellerussomanno188]

Lucas Vidal I thought this said “horny atmosphere” originally. 😂

[@SammIAm]

Simon telling me what I deserve in life and frankly, I agree 👍🏼

[@TheSushiJen]

You guys. I love this so much, your cinematography has just grown in leaps and bounds over the years and your music selection is just spot on. I had Sukiyaki with the fam last night (we're pretending its fall even though we are in Florida and it's the face of the sun) and your hot pot makes me want to go make some Nabemono.

[@Reckless917]

Oh god I've been blessed with 30 mins of Simon and Martina! :D Perfect way to start the day!

[@lavender_evie]

I am so happy they have uploaded 2xs this week! Also them at tokyo disney today was adorable on insta too! I just love how happy they are and this week they have put out so much content!!

[@lavendermenace8078]

I feel this I needed these positive vibes in my life and Simon and martina never fail to provide

[@Seonnie]

Simon: We’ve been living in Japan for almost four years now... Me: *falls out chair* Foreal?

[@goldenpeninsula]

Time flies... They moved over in 2016, right?

[@claranyman5708]

At 20:05, when ABBAs dancing queen plays in the background: My dormant Swedish senses: "NANI?!"

[@lupabatista5646]

isnt that like...waltz of the flowers by Tchaikovsky???

[@mrclueuin]

Here is Simon and Martina trying to play Classical Music in their video and here is the Japanese Kyoto Chocolate shop play ABBA. 😌 Here's me watching Simon and Martina react. 😏😄

[@MargaretRodriguez9GenY]

@@mrclueuin - I know! Both fit so perfectly for that scene.

[@mrclueuin]

@@MargaretRodriguez9GenY Yep! 😄

[@eclipse9998]

Martina making nutritious, wholesome af dinner in a hotel room warms my dietician heart

[@eclipse9998]

you know what? so does the happy chocolate shop

[@eatyourkimchi]

HAHAHAHAHAHA comes right after the good healthy dinner for a reason 😉

[@MotherHemCreations]

I had gastric sleeve surgery and suffering from thrush and bad nausea so just laying in the tub waiting for anti nauseants to kick in and enjoying their food vids since I can't eat

[@pchen88]

I agree as a fellow RD :)

[@inkfoxes4941]

"That'll be eighty dollars and your soul." 100% ACCURATE XD

[@anulkaaw]

Dan! Hi, Dan! I missed Dan... 😉

[@millicentbystander8549]

That moment when you mention that you've lived in Japan for four years and I realize I've been watching your channel for over half a decade.

[@maedaydreamer8386]

I really love how hipster you guys are. Your recommendations always help me coz as a solo traveller these are the things I want to do.

[@fallen_spoons83]

#makesnuffmufflerhappen needs to trend! As a fellow EDSer It gives me hope seeing Martina traveling and living her best life♡

[@PrincessDraculaura]

In love with Martina’s shark dress! I love sharks!!

[@xIAiChanIx]

I need a link plz

[@Renvere]

I iust told my husband “Tally Ho Snuffmuffler” and he said “Right O.” 😂😂😂

[@meowzy2439]

He is a keeper!!!

[@Eontologist]

[@drobgyn5615]

😭😭

[@thesketchbananafairy8104]

I swear y'all just uploaded yesterday and already you're blessing us with another!!???!

[@danielm5535]

....wait... isn’t “Mimaru” how you tell your Japanese friends to say “Meemers”? You were at the Meemers Hotel?!?!

[@eatyourkimchi]

RIGHT?!

[@bluedabeast]

The editing is dope in this video!! I'm loving it :D

[@halka316]

They're both low key styled in this video, I love that Simons hat matches his shorts

[@einaf639]

Totally unrelated: Martina could totally pull off the "Flo from Progressive" Halloween costume! OMG

[@AuthorTinaMoss]

Martina: “You can watch that Kyoto magic.” Simon: “Or you can just eat chocolate.” 💖💖💖

[@kdpc06]

OMG I’m in Kyoto right now on holiday, so I’m excitedly watching this in my hotel room.

[@Nynke_K]

So lucky!

[@driiver4199]

thank you guys for being literally the only travel vloggers who know anything about coffee

[@sierraruiz4534]

Been having a rough time and rewatching your old videos to help me feel better. So excited to see a new one come out! You all are amazing ❤️

[@Hannieah]

ABBA struggling so hard to be heard in that chocolate shop

[@oabuseer]

How in the hell did you hear that?! It took me 20 seconds of holding the phone right next to my ear to decipher the song

[@remomarkable5120]

Sounds like Simon and Martina were having the time of their lives there, eh

[@Anonymoose123456789]

They’re struggling because it’s not being sung from a cold river.

[@Hannieah]

@@oabuseer many childhood roadtrips where ABBA was like one of the only things my mom played in the car....

[@applesKIWISbananas]

I thought the abba was a part of the editing. Thats how fast i recognized it omg

[@maedaydreamer8386]

I got lost in Kyoto a lot times when I stayed there for 5days. But it made me fall in love with Kyoto. The infrastructure is so pretty 😭😭😍😍. The side streets are amazing. As manga/anime fan, it's how I imagined Japan looked like.

[@Christmas__365]

This was so fun to watch! I’m waiting for TabiEats’s video on Kyoto as well, so this will be exciting to see how your experiences differ and to see where I should go on my next visit to Kyoto. I actually did something similar but was 68 hours and had a lot less food related things. Went to SO MANY temples/shrines though and fell in LOVE with Kyoto!!! I even climbed all the way up the mountain to the Fushimi Inari Shrine. For food, I booked a place to try a traditional Japanese breakfast and for dinner, I went to a Japanese family’s home and helped cook a traditional dinner! It was so nice! Thanks for the upload!! Keep on being your amazing selves and take a breather sometime!

[@Minmin-sg2eu]

Loved how Simon gobbled up his TKG, HAHAHA!! Loved this whole vid as a matter of fact, so different from everyone else's Kyoto vids. If you love udon, you gotta travel to Kagawa pref - the land of udon, their udon is amazing, trust me! 😉 Can't believe it's been almost 4 yrs since you moved to Japan. Hope you keep living here for many years to come!😘

[@the1andonlytrav]

Good to see you behind the camera, Dan! Also, I'm still laughing about Samurai cucombaaaaaaaa! 🥒

[@eatyourkimchi]

Hahahahaha omg right! 🥒 You saw some of this footage early 😉

[@hannermax3194]

"forget about friends and family" me, every day, treating myself

[@recoil53]

I have chocolate, I have family and friends. Yet the two facts never miss.

[@Thekyayu]

This is the perfect way to live life ✌🏻

[@nildaalvarado9026]

23:02 and martina smile has me in tears. I had to rewatch that scene. Beautiful! Simon that's a smile that melts any heart and heals wounds. I needed to see that! Thank you thank you!

[@EreshChen]

This video was really B. E. A. Utifully done.

[@goodwalkproductions5170]

I can really appreciate how Simon totally turned back on his first impressions of that ramen shop and now loves it.

[@tythehealer9559]

27 minutes video of Simon & Martina? 😱 Yesss please!!!

[@Josh_Fredman]

This video was hilarious. The chocolate shop / Nutcracker sequence in particular was just pure joy. Art plus hilarity! And Simon's "these chocolates are a great gift to give...TO YOURSELF!" slayed me.

[@dotsucks]

Totally wish I could have watched this in the future from last week, when we set aside time to go to Kyoto ;^; we ended up deciding against a day trip and spent the time in rainy Osaka instead (which was also awesome!)

[@valeriansimmer7462]

I just had a 6-minute ad and I did not skip it because I love this channel so much.

[@skigirl618]

I want that egg udon so so bad! I love udon!

[@wondergal2369]

I'm so glad that Martina had some good days here. I know not all days will be great, but we see her walking without a cane, and cooking and just being super happy. I know you cant feel this way all the time Martina, but it is a joy to see when you do.

[@tesaelin]

You guys just brighten my day. Loved the video!

[@radiivanova4977]

This video was just what I needed after a long day at work. Chill, happiness, food, cool places, the slow-motions...oh the slow motions... and the smiles on your faces, just marvelous. A really wholesome video! Thank you :)

[@florence139]

Watching this over sh*tty internet service while waiting for my pill's side effect to wear off. Thank you for bringing this bubble of positivity not only to my day but also others. Love you both!

[@sadmimikyu8807]

We need more of this lovely Totoro dress!! I love it! Thanks for the cool video.

[@Rayma72]

Omg I love weekenders! I stumbled upon it when I was lost trying to find my motel 🤣 I love your travel videos and your everyday life videos... I just love you guys in general

[@cerenylmaz9374]

I really needed a video from you guys today. It is my midterm week and I am so stressed out, I was literally craving a new video from you. Thank you so much! 💕

[@akiramiyashi]

Love the video! If only Meemers was able to stay at Mimaru too.... Snuffmuffler's such a good boi... hahhaha

[@souphful6148]

Now THIS is a piece of art. The love that goes into every detail and every second of this video is just mesmorizing! I also love how the music and editing-style changes to get you in "the right mood". Really calming and entertaining to watch you guys!

[@chansiwun]

Perfect timing! Was just planning a trip to Kyoto ❤️

[@typicalrose9918]

This video is like a final form video. Everything is on point- the editing, the sound effects and just the overall heartwarming nature of the footage. Like that section in the hotel making dinner was just so cute and interesting to see y'all chill and spend the evenings downloading stuff...the wine bit hehehehe was the best!!! Just so much love for this video so good ! such amazing content!

[@thanhminhtrangnguyen7783]

The Gordon Ramsey/Nigella Lawson moment killed me!

[@josie.s.2553]

My dad introduced me to your channel last month. Been binge watching all of your videos since.

[@AnanyaShetty_]

I'm just gonna watch this again for the artistry of it

[@xxHIMfanxoxo]

I really love when you guys get to go places, but I also just love seeing the pure joy on your faces!

[@dianachen8943]

I studied abroad in Kyoto and it’s just too nostalgic. I miss Kyoto..

[@lavender_evie]

So much simon and martina this week! Love how you spread your message of trying to look for the happy side! I am almost finished with university (two essays then one summer subject to go) thank you for uploading when i need sonething cheerful to watch 😊

[@annieeue]

My mind went straight to the perogi video when Dan asked about how to drink wine whilst filming 😄 Loved this video ❤️✨

[@S2YouHaruHaru]

Really like this format! Felt like I was traveling with you guys!! I love Kyoto!

[@pauladavid733]

That’s one of my favorite things to do, just get lost in new places!

[@aSyMbolden]

Wow, scene at 12:39 with the lightning was epic!

[@eatyourkimchi]

Right?! We couldn’t believe we caught it!

[@MissCatSoup]

So when are SNUFFMUFFLER T-shirts be made? 💕

[@SamGiles]

Oh, I miss Kyoto immensely! Great video (as per usual), guys!!

[@MoxieBeast]

[@danielledavid9456]

I am just loving the b-roll cinematography and the music! Amazing job y’all, I can’t wait til I can finally travel to Japan.

[@l.g.pichardo5482]

Much like the Omurice, your videos are very comforting 😁

[@TheFrozenEden]

Thank you guys so much for uploading such long, beautifully edited, artsy farty videos. It's takes all my attention to watch your guys videos and I love absorbing the love and curiosity you guys exude. My pooch crossed the rainbow bridge in September so I've been struggling for a bit but this little slice of sunshine really made me feel better, if only for a little bit.

[@soluna6877]

Coming straight from the livestream! 🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for the great video!

[@gh0ulissh]

Your videos feel so real and inspiring. 100% best creators on KZbin

[@fatmatunisianelf]

NEVER click on a video so fast in my life it was like my dependent on it

[@BLaCKwaRRioR37]

can i just say that the editing is on point , i really liked the video :)

[@kiasallis4190]

The video is just so beautiful 😍

[@Jayjoy94]

My favorite scenes - Martina making the cute voices when buying wine and thinking about putting on a facial mask. Simon calling Martina his big piggy and wants to give her kisses and huggies. You two are just such adorable people. Thank you that you share these moments with us 💝

[@mihai9965]

Even if it takes multiple lifetimes or dimensions through space and time, I WILL find me my soulmate just as Martina found her Simon !!!

[@BlackBerryTrees]

OMGSOH slow motion cuteness of Martina walking around the streets of Kyoto *crying face* *heart eyes*

[@Sophie-ls9ep]

Literally was just rewatching some old videos when I got the notification, I’ve never clicked so fast......

[@akesq01]

What a great video! Thank you for sharing. Mimaru Hotel looks great. I will save that for when we visit. A must stay. By the way, wonderful videography! Aloha from the Midwest, U.S.A.!

[@MjolnirMarks]

Thank you for such an entertaining and light-hearted video that is also very informative and professionally put together.

[@NeoGee]

22:45 "I am going to get a tummy ache" Been there, it's usually worth it.

[@Meggish62]

As always, I grinned and chuckled my way through your video. It's always a pleasure to watch your interactions. Thank you for doing what you do. I love it.

Can I just say that martina’s shark outfit is like the cutest shit ever and I want that outfit like damn girl that’s cute as hell

[@emilysanders5385]

Martina’s hisar looks so good!! The color and the pigtails really fit her well

[@stogrumschnogrum7182]

Simon eating sound effects 🤣🤣

[@FishingtheSkyxd]

been to kyoto recently, and i agree! i love the sprinkling of the old houses and architecture. it's like taking a step into the past and what it used to be.

[@roberts3776]

Who else assumed Simon was going to steal the second bowl for himself? (15:56)

[@beautifulpancakelove6906]

This is one of my fave videos lately. I have watched it a few time’s. Given those good feels and hungry feels.

[@KameSquidSS4]

That shark outfit is adorable!!! Also, can we place make snuffmuffler a thing? XD

[@katyskipper6788]

Loved the playfulness in this video! Your videos are almost always playful, but this one made me extra happy. .....Tanuki! 😂

[@Spikeygal]

Snuffmuffler has to happen - it can be abbreviated to Snoo-Moo

[@catherineyeung9103]

Agreed.

[@anya7944]

I do have to say Martina looked amazing in this video like her hair was just perfect and that’s really the best way to describe it and only way tbh

[@Alfredopizzaluver151]

I love how they're the couple that eats each other's food xD "You only left me two?!"

[@kellymcmillen8851]

You two are the best. You make the best travel/food movies on KZbin. It is impossible to be in a bad mood after watching one of your videos. Impossible!
