A week in Japan ✈️🇯🇵⛩️ (book shopping, meeting bookish friends, deer stroll, Osaka city views)

[@17caria]

casually making a movie-length vlog. What an incredible experience. Those deer were precious!

[@anna-hz5ej]

since watching final destination as a kid i’ve been terrified of getting stuck on an escalator so when you said your shoelace got jammed i immediately started panicking!! glad you’re ok!!

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!!! It was the worst haha 😅

[@AmataRayne2492]

Gabby, I am so happy that you had a magical time in Japan! I'm happy you finally met Gavin and Jessie in person, and you had a ton of fun. You WILL go back! I'm speaking that into existence. 😁

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

The pocket wifi is so cool!!! I love your mini solo travel adventure, my favorite thing to do when traveling to another country is finding cafes and bookstores to just read and people watch in!

[@Madi88886]

Since I was a little kid I have been scared of escalators. Getting stuck on one is my literal nightmare!! I’m so happy someone helped you, and you had nice people interacting with you while you were stuck. Thank you for taking us with you to Japan. This vlog was awesome!!

[@macydanzil9911]

Gabby you are the most adorable human! I love how positive and grateful you always are! 🫶🏼 Thanks for vlogging your trip in detail. I'm dying to go to JPN!

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

You and Gavin wandering the streets of Japan was so amazing, y'all are such a fun duo! I've never had the urge to go to Japan until watching being there from your point of view, I 'm so glad you had the best time in Japan!!! My first ever flight by myself was international to Costa Rica lol. The google translate app downloaded to your phone is a LIFESAVER because you show the camera a sign and it translates it into English or whatever language you need.

[@CoralTheWitch2023]

WOW! Your trip to Japan was UNREAL! Thank you so much for vlogging your trip! I felt like I was there with you. I loved all of the events, but I’m happy that you, Gavin and Jessie had a fun day together. I do wish you would have had more time to explore Osaka. I’ve never been out of the US. Dad used to take me on trips around the US though. I always loved those trips. I’m so happy you had a great trip! I hope you feel better soon ! Tammy

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks so much Tammy!!! 🥹💗

[@MandaFandaa]

I’m so happy you got to experience this. It’s been so fun to watch your vlog. Thank you for sharing Gabbie

[@TheSweetieDarling]

I would have been so embarrassed too but it’s so great that so many kind people stopped to help you. Can’t imagine having that happen while also jet lagged. This is a great vlog-what an exciting trip.

[@Devi15]

Felt so happy seeing you,Gavin and Jesse together 💜

[@kandaarmy2020]

I could feel your excitement through the screen! What an amazing trip! So happy you got to meet Gavin and Jesse too, that's so dope!

[@KDBookDen]

I ran my 4 miles and had breakfast watching g this vlog. It was freaking great!!! 🎉

[@Kindlelover88]

If you guys can meet in a different country every year or every other year, it’s amazing what growth you get from being a different cultures and in different countries I love it. But it’s been and I live in California and we are going to Portugal for three weeks on Monday. We’re so excited. But I like you feel like it’s expensive to go and it’s time consuming and hard to travel to most places out of the US so if you go, you have to do at least two weeks or more to really see the whole place so you don’t have to go back and that you can go somewhere else next Time. I’m so excited you got to go with Jesse and Gavin and your group and it’s an amazing experience and it was so fun to watch. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@LudvigReads]

Ok pause, let me get my popcorn . . . there we go. I'm ready for this adventure! :)

[@ffiontill5924]

I couldn’t be more excited to watch all of these Japan vlogs. This one, Gavin’s, Jesse’s ugh all the content!!🤩❤️🇯🇵

[@sophhnavarro]

this was so awesome! I'm so glad you got to experience Japan and hang out with Jesse and Gavin

[@blending_in]

I've been waiting for this! Amazing vlog. Was about to go to bed but then got the notification and was like.. priorities lol

[@lindsaymiller4017]

When I would hike in Japan during the winter, I would literally go into the bathrooms and sit on the toilet to warm myself back up. Japanese bathrooms are AMAZING!! 😁😁

[@michellelee03]

So happy seeing you have a great time in Japan! I felt proud watching lol bc I feel like you met one of your goals for 2023 to travel and stuff! 🇯🇵

[@autumnritchie1473]

Omygosh! This was so amazing to watch!!! I’m so glad you got to go to Japan & meet Gavin & Jesse!!! Osaka seemed so cool! I too wish you could have spent more time there. Love your haul at the end. Look at the baby deer! 😍😍😍 Hopefully you’ll get to go back soon! Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 🥰🥰🥰

[@halko1802]

Thanks for sharing this experience with us! Japan is so beautiful! 🖤

[@Bookslovejenna]

You are cracking me up with the Tully's. Tully's was a Seattle-based coffee shop, but Starbucks pushed it out, and they closed all their shops in the States in like 2017 or 2018. Looks like such a fun trip. Thanks for sharing.

[@SorryBookedSolid]

Incredible gabby! I’m so happy you had such a great trip and now have all the memories in vlog form!! 🫶🏼

[@Sadie896]

When I went to Japan, what I liked buying were their cute pens/pencils/erasers and notebooks which you could use to write book summaries/notes in for instance. They have so many different cartoon characters on their school supplies. Everything's so colorful. They have these neat colored drawing pencils and other art supplies. So glad you went and loved it!!

[@Kite562reviews]

Looks like you and Gavin had a great time in Japan! I really do enjoy both of your styles for travel vlogs they're so immersive! 🙂❤📚

[@monikaliane]

I’m so shocked you got this up so quickly but I’m so excited to watch. I wanna go to Japan so much so this is like living through u lol

[@pomsandbooks]

The deer and the pigs!!! How precious!

[@thekhameleonreadsbooks]

you all are so cute. i love this vlog so much. i was smiling the whole time while watching it. glad you had a great time in Japan! 🎌🌸

[@mausiread2409]

Hi Gabby! I was waiting for this video! I am from Japan and am so happy to see that you loved Japan. You should definitely visit again soon. There is so much to see, do and eat in Japan. Next time, maybe you can visit my home town, Tokyo!

[@beckyduff]

I went to Japan 6 years ago and Nara was my favorite! I love the deer. I loved seeing you, Jesse and Gavin hanging out. Having never met in person before, it's awesome to see the genuine friendship that has come from this bookish space.

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great vlog! Japans my top country on my hicket list to visit especially Tokyo and all the kawaii vibe places📚☕🌈🇯🇵

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Gabby happy Wednesday night and I hope you having amazing holidays in Japan and this was amazing video I enjoy your channel

[@lindareynolds2547]

So happy you had a wonderful time. Traveling opens a whole new world.

[@amyhayes7]

My husband did a study abroad in college in Tokyo and I went to visit him for a week. I’ve also been to Osaka for the cherry blossom festival when I was a teenager with a choral group. My 13 year old is obsessed with Japan and I’m hoping we can take her there soon.

[@poptart8111]

Hi Gabby! I live an hour away from Osaka! 🇯🇵 🏯 I am so happy that you enjoyed your time in Japan💕I started watching your channel last year and I love how passionate you talk about the books you read. Since then I started reading books almost everyday and have been reading books you have recommended. It’s so good!☺️ I hope you feel better soon. Please come back to Japan! Love from Japan✨Chihiro

[@gabbyreads]

That’s so sweet thank you so much!! I really appreciate it 🥹💗

[@VigilanteEra]

So beautiful! I am so happy you were able to go. Japan is number one on my bucket list! ❤❤

[@fashingrl]

Tully’s started in Seattle, WA. It couldn’t compete with Starbucks so they sold. I didn’t realize they were in Asia!

[@denisediamond9313]

So glad you got to experience this trip and hope this just opens the door to more travel. I love Japan and really Asia as a whole. I hope you can go to Tokyo one day. It’s so cool and I think you’d love it! Tullys is a Seattle based coffee chain but it’s only in Japan now.

[@ellie-elles.bookshelf]

Loved this vlog, looks like such an amazing trip!

[@bookaholicbanter]

Thank you for sharing so much with us Gabby! Everything looked so beautiful! What an incredible experience. As I was watching the content with the deer I was like oh that would have been the highlight day for sure! I absolutely understand where you are coming from! I felt the same exact way about Italy. I fell in love and didn't want to leave. It was so surreal! I had to pinch myself every morning. I was so happy I was moved to tears several times. So did the travel bug get you now? Bet you want to visit more places. I can't wait to travel again. One country is not enough for a lifetime.

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks so much Michelle! And yes ahhhh it was so hard to leave. I definitely have the travel bug now 😍

[@saikulkarni8077]

Thank you Gabby for taking me to Japan!😊

[@jessicabridges4335]

I'm so happy you were able to experience all this! Making all the cool memories. Meeting Gavin, and everyone else! I want to visit Japan. My oldest child knows a little bit of Japanese. ❤

[@NorthStar3922]

Wow! What a vlog! I’m so happy you had such an amazing time! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! ❤️

[@ILoveJahangeer]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I don’t think I can use any other words to explain how I feel about the video, and I’ll leave it to those simplistic, but powerful words! ❤️

[@sleuthytv1228]

So excited to see this

[@bethreads3294]

Such a beautiful place. So glad you got to experience this ❤ You know you work from home, you could live there or anywhere really 😊

[@RallyReviews]

That looked amazing!!!!! I am so glad you loved your trip. I had been waiting to see how it would go. I have never been but my sister is planning to go next year. You all were so cute!!

[@julieinman3944]

OMG that last dinner! I would have died when they sat a whole ass fish in front of me. 😂😂 Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. I loved every minute of it and I'm so happy that you got to experience this. ❤

[@gabbyreads]

Thanks Julie!!! And haha same that dinner was definitely an experience 😂

[@spookybookz9981]

What a great vlog looks like you had an amazing time and thank you for sharing it with us!

[@queenkim8631]

So happy you had fun in Japan!! Wish i was there to see Gavin fangirl over one piece (I would've too😂)!

[@layalialsudairy9992]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience . I felt I was there with you. I hope to visit Japan one day.😊😊😊

[@gail48]

So much fun! What a great time.

[@suzy8109]

I was so excited for this vlog and cant wait to watch. I have travelled to 23 countries in my life so far so I am highly anticipating your reactions to all the new experiences you are going to enjoy in a completely new country and new culture. I have my cuppa … now to watch.

[@suzy8109]

This was such a fun video to watch. Looked like you had a wonderful time and I hope you will travel internationally more in the future and vlog those trips too. I cant wait to see how you would react to places like Paris, Venice, Singapore, Hong Kong, India etc. The takeaway from this video is what a lovely person Jessie is … I need to subscribe to her channel. Thank you for sharing this amazing trip, Gabby. ❤

[@bridgetvollmer6337]

I love pigs...they are such sentient animals. Looks like you had a fantastic trip!

[@marybarton9792]

What an amazing trip, now I want to go to Japan. You all did so many fun things and saw such amazing views and buildings. Book shopping looked fun even though there was no english copies. Gabby I would've done the same thing by getting a book in Japanese that's so cool. OMG the deers were so cute. Meeting Gavin must have been so cool, bc he seems so nice. Hanging out with Gavin & Jessie must've been so fun. What an adventure, so glad everyone had a wonderful time.

[@monicamoss347]

The trip looked fantastic, so glad you all had fun. We are traveling to Japan for the 1st time in October. We will be there for two weeks and will be in Tokyo, Nikko and Osaka. So watching your vlog made me that much excited for it. I will probably also by a jappanese version of spy family manga as a souvenir. 😂

[@Sophie_Milagros]

As someone who will probably never be able to travel to Japan due to my health, thank you so much for this vlog. It was absolutely beautiful. I felt that I was actually there. Obviously my favorite parts were the deers and the temples. Those deers were so dang cute 🥹🥹🥹

[@TeenaReadsandCrochets]

Loved this! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

[@damassss]

So glad to see you had a good time Gabby! I went to Japan last December and had the best time as well. I don’t do well with heat so going there in winter works best for me. Next time you definitely need to visit Tokyo as well and Sapporo in winter is amazing as well. Tokyo will wow you in a different way, their train and subway system is next level, it’s like there’s a whole other city under Tokyo. It’s funny to see you so shocked seeing the whole fish, because it’s such a common thing in Asia, in my country we eat our fish whole like that maybe 70-80% of the time. I hope you can visit many places outside the US again because the experience of traveling really broadens your horizon, maybe visiting Gavin in the UK? I think you’ll love the UK as well, it’s another one of my favorite countries.

[@yumimeuthia6988]

Thank you for sharing your trip to Japan. I went to Japan in April this year. I visited Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka but didn't have time to visit Nara. Nara looks like an amazing place. I should put it on my itinerary if I ever had a chance to go back to Japan.

[@aloha_always]

Hi Gabby🎉 I’ve binged watched your vlogs & what a journey! I love Japan. I’ve been to Tokyo & I had so much fun!

[@ingjinngon1052]

This vlog is amazing!!!! ❤ I wish you would come to Singapore and make a vlog like this too. 🤩🤩

[@ybell10]

this is so exciting!!

[@debbiepowell599]

Glad you had fun!😊

[@justinkhchen]

Look like you had so much fun! I'll have to come to you for recs! - Hopefully you'll travel internationally again soon (perhaps Canada? 😜)

[@gabbyreads]

😍😍😍

[@anitanoordenbos1584]

Thank you for sharing your Japan experience with us! You have seen so many amazing things!! Did you buy some more BTS things, I am so curious!!

[@gabbyreads]

I did yeah I bought quite a few BTS things haha 😍 photocards and albums!

[@erintrolley3074]

I;'m so glad you had so much fun in Japan! That's a dream destination for me also.

[@kellyreadingbooks]

Thank you so much for sharing this incredible travel experience!!! When you said “more raw fish” at the farewell dinner I died laughing 😂 I would’ve been in heaven but for someone who doesn’t even really like it cooked - I can’t imagine! Haha. So glad you had safe travels. You are just such a delightful and genuine person to watch vlog. The escalator story sounded straight out of a book or movie! 😂 you were just living your main character energy in Japan!

[@marlenerichardson8697]

Brilliant vlog Gabby, thankyou x

[@MerryLozza]

Amazing vlog ❤ it all looked stunning. Always wanted to go to Japan

[@jaimemo5893]

This made me want to do another solo trip to Japan. I have been to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto each for about a week per city. I'm glad you had fun and could nerd out. If you go back you should try the manga museum and Gibli museum. They are so cool.

[@esthers1856]

Looks amazing

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Omg so jealous. I would LOVE to go to Japan!!

[@ShainaInColorland]

This has gotten me even more pumped for my trip at the end of October!! I’ll also be going to Osaka and then onto Tokyo and I cannot wait!! So glad you had a fantastic trip!! 💜

[@gabbyreads]

Ahhh I hope you have a blast!! 😍

[@aliciathomas5563]

I’m so glad you had a great time!! What an amazing experience. It seemed like when the camera moved it blurred the video. I noticed it when you went to see Taylor also.

[@gabbyreads]

I think it’s something wrong with my render settings I’ll have to look into it 😢

Omggg I just started this vlog and I’m sorry that happened to you with your shoe and the escalator! If it makes you feel better, it would be something that would happen to me 🤣 glad you had kind people trying to help!

[@gabbyreads]

Thank you!! And hahaha yeah I’m so grateful everyone was trying to help 🥹

Gavin must be a great guy. I think every book tuber I watch knows him. You need to visit him in Edinburgh, Scotland was my all time favorite place.

[@ash81818]
