How to Spend 14 Days in Japan - A Japan Travel Itinerary

[@AllanSu]

My "14 days in Japan" itinerary is now available on my shop: 👉shop.allansu.com/b/0Y5f9 This is an updated itinerary based on this video and my trips to Japan. The itinerary will cover day-to-day activities, transportation between cities, hotels, restaurants, and a travel budget. I've also included a "Custom Google Maps" for Japan with saved pins and locations that follows the itinerary.

[@carlitosthekidd]

I found you during the pandemic, and loved how much effort you put into the videos. Seeing Hasan watch it today was surreal lol keep on making dope videos bro🫡

Can I find fried sushi not raw in Japan? Can they fully cook it for you? I can’t eat raw since I am pregnant and planning to visit Japan soon.

[@lalinski2322]

Me, I'm starting to make a budget, itinerary, learning japanese and seeing lots of videos about the topic (tips, do's and dont's, etc) It would sound stupid I start making this at my age (15) I would probably go until late 20's - starting 30's but I want to have all planned ahead to be able to enjoy the most out of my time in Japan (Sorry if my english is bad, I'm mexican so I don't speak perfect englih)

[@erikiacopelli451]

@@lalinski2322 Listen do NOT let ANYONE convince you not to do everything ur doing right. You planning everything out and learning japanese and figuring out everything u wanna do n see when u get there. Is the way to go. Before your any where near close going figure out EVERYTHING u need to do to get there n everything u wanna do once ur there. Figuring everything out ahead of time is the BEST way to do it. Most ppl dont do that and even if they had fun theres alot they didnt get to do or see cuz they didnt plan it all out. So they ended up not having enough time or missing things like festivals and parties. I STRONGLY advise u to go when there are festivals n plan accordingly. You will DEFF want to see the Cherry Blossom festival. My friend went n brought me back videos n pics n it WILL BLOW UR MIND AT HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS!! I would also advise u to plan out everything u wanna n then ADD 2 to 3 more days on top of that. That will give u time to recover from jet lag when u get there. So ur first day u dont do anything but get to the hotel n relax and go over EVERYTHING!! next day start doing it all. The day before last again just stay at the hotel n relax. Then the next day go home. This will help you out LIKE CRAZY!! Getting that rest the day u get there n the last day before u leave will give u all the energy u will need n help u calm urself down. Cuz ur gonna be INSANELY hyper n ready to go full tilt. Of course it will cost extra for them 2 days. But it WILL be worth ur while. One thing I HIGHLY advise u to do is right now before ur anywhere near going go on facebook or even dating sites or forums and find a couple of ppl that live there in the area ull mostly be at. Become GOOD friends with them. This WILL help you out tremendously. It will all be 1000X's BETTER if u have a friend that lives there. They can show u around and take u out to places that tourists normally do not go to ya know off the beaten track. And there are a bunch of places u will NOT be allowed into if ur a tourist. BUT if u have a local wit u they will let u in. Outta everything I said the 2 main ones u REALLY need to listen 2 is the rest days and becoming friends wit a local. If u do those 2 things u will have the BEST TIME OF UR LIFE!!! Of course u can just tell me to fuck off. But ppl like us that love Japan so much it will make it so much fun. That ull purposely find me again just to say how great it was that u listened to me. Also if u need ANY help AT ALL wit japan or have questions just hit me up at [e-mail] and I'll get back to u right away. Oh another tip make sure u ALWAYS AND I MEAN ALWAYS keep ir ID n Passpost with u EVERY SINGLE TIMEBU LEAVE THE HOTEL!! if u want more advice or help just email me and I'll help u out the best I can. But even if I never hear from u again just HAVE THE TINE OF UR LIFE THERE!!! Ur payment to me for the advice will come to be Videos n pics of ur time in Japan 😁

I am a Japanese living in Okinawa. There are 47 prefectures in Japan, and I think that each of the 47 prefectures has 47 different charms. That's why I love this country. In addition to sushi, ramen, and sukiyaki, each prefecture has its own traditional cuisine, traditional culture, and wonderful scenery. For example, in Okinawa, where I was born and raised, there are many other unique Okinawan dishes such as Okinawa soba, goya chanpuru, pawpaw, and sata andagi. Also, since Okinawa was originally a single country called the Ryukyu Kingdom, it has its own culture and history. Karate is also a sport that originated in Okinawa. In terms of music, Sanshin, Eisa, and Kachaashi are famous. As you can see, Japan has more than just one attraction. I would like you to travel to Japan and find your favorite prefecture. I translated it so there may be some wrong English

In Japan🇯🇵, there is a law that says that a person is not guilty of sexual intercourse with a saint if he or she is 13 years old and sexually consensual. 13 years old is the age when a person has just graduated from elementary school. Also, a law was passed this month that allows high school students to perform in adult films. The number of sex crimes against children is increasing every year. It is a country of pedophilia and Lolita complexes. What do you all think of this country?😉

I've travelled to some places and I've had dreams of them for decades afterwards because it's such an immersive sensory experience.

It seems like tourists often buy food at convenience stores these days, but we don't recommend doing so. It's better to go to restaurants because you can find much more delicious food at the same price or a little higher. For the same reason, we also do not recommend cheap conveyor belt sushi that is brought to you by trains like those at amusement facilities.

Our next destination was Osaka, but after watching your video, we decided to go to Koyasan first. I had never heard of the place and would definitely have missed it. We went yesterday - 19th February 2023, it was was raining hard, misty and fairly cold (snow on the ground). We started with the Danjō-garan temple complex and had the place completely to ourselves, the rain and mist added to the experience and was one of the best days of my life. We have travelled to over 40 countries including many over the past 9 months and Koyasan for me rates right up there with the best places in the world. We also spent a fair while at the Cemetery which was also an amazing experience that we will not forget. Thank you so much for letting us know about this place and for making such awesome videos.

This video just made my day! We travelled Japan in May 2019 and it was the perfect holiday, this video brought back so many great memories with the addition of the autumn colours. You've convinced me to go in Autumn next time! The footage and editing is also next level too :)

[@AllanSu]

You should! It's the best season in Japan. And yes, I'm biased.

[@billyjoesarangelo1608]

this is probably one of the best video edit of Japan. I love the color grading and the flow, its so relaxing... I miss Japan... Wishing this pandemic would be over soon so we can all travel again. Thanks again for this video!

[@Bearkeleys]

I really like how you don’t super hype everything. So many Utubers make their videos about how cool they are and how super incredibly awesome a place is when it’s just a normal trip.

[@alisaeed3090]

Such a refreshing and calming video to watch, perfectly documented the entire trip and gave descriptions on each part of your journey in each town/city. One of my favorite youtube videos in general now, hoping you had the best time and if you ever travel there again, have a great trip again. This has motivated me to take my family there once I get a stable income, as the Japanese culture is fascinating to me and I’ve been a fan of the country since a small age. Thank you for this video, Allan 😌

Excellent Video Allen - Thanks for taking us to Japan 🇯🇵 Virtually… One of best narrated and documented we have experienced- Keep it going!!

[@leonadior8640]

Excellent video, thank you for sharing such a beauty with us. I’ve been to Japan many years ago ( in Kumamoto and Osaka) and I absolutely love it. The people are so polite and respectful! Their food was simply outstanding, so healthy and I low fat. I truly wish to visit Japan soon . Thank you once again and please stay safe !

[@katereznikov8792]

Absolutely the best video and information for those who are preparing trip to Japan. I loved the way the author talks, explains and shows the materials ❤❤❤ Thank you

[@DrCrabfingers]

10:35 how utterly delightful! 18:34...absolutely beautiful courtyard garden...Kyoto, Kanazawa, Takayama...all look so beautiful. Rural Japan really is special.

[@jonathanhall5836]

How can one country have so much beauty and culture? Japan must be the most spectacular place on Earth.

[@GCGFilmsYT]

Amazing quality and a great voiceover! I miss my international business travel and this was awesome, immersive, and frankly a stress relief after all this time off the road. Thank you!

[@TeamXKittyKatz]

I really hope I can study abroad in Japan next year for my 3rd semester. The culture and connection to nature is so beautiful, and your video has given me so many great ideas of where to visit if I do get that chance! If not, definitely #1 on my travel list. Also currently been learning Japanese for a few months

[@Wooky__]

Thanks to you i was able to organise trip with my friends from Czech republic to Japan and we saw a lot of places that you visited in the video. it was awesome and thank you i would remember it for the rest of my life. 💚

[@christianaguilar3543]

This whole film, editing, music, presentation in general is close to perfection.

[@JonathanMedcalf]

Wonderful video! Traveled solo to Japan in 2016 and it still stands as the greatest experience in my life so far! Can't wait to go back! Was planning on going last year with my wife but then covid hit... =(

[@JapaneseTraveller]

This movie is so amazing 🤩

[@bisakh9157]

Honestly, felt teleported to the place, from the footages to the background music and aesthetics, a brilliant and informative vlog! Will keep the suggestions in mind while visiting the beautiful country

[@AlexKeith17]

Thank you for your 14 day summary. It was fascinating to see more secluded countryside visits such as the over night stay in the buddhist temple !

[@peymanplays2058]

One the best vlogs I've ever seen! And truly no country can offer as Japan does! Best Ever!

[@airmanfair]

What an incredible video! I legit want to completely copy every step you took. I think I might add a few days though because I like to go at a leisurely pace. I have to say, this is actually the best travel-oriented video I've seen on KZbin, and I've seen quite a lot!

[@02GreekIslands]

40mins of pure bliss watching my favourite country. Thank you

[@anujashinde4646]

By far the best travel videos I have come across.

[@cappaman73]

I travelled Japan in September 2019. I had the best time, lots of incredible sights, delicious food and amazing people. I went to many of the places you did, but couldn't help thinking that leaving Hiroshima out was wrong. It's a wonderful city and is such an important location in world history. The museum and peace part are so moving. And while in the city a visit to Miyolima Island is gorgeous. In saying that, loved the video.

[@Lse403]

Watching this makes me miss Kyoto so much - thanks for capturing these beautiful moments

[@iamvlademir]

im teariing up for some unknown reason, maybe because of the music or because its japan; it got me actin up and thinking this can be the most romantic travel i could imagine for myself, i would do anything to be in those places.

[@Roberto-ut6bc]

Idk if it's the editing, the camera, Japan, the way you film or everything combined but I really love the cozy feeling this video gives me and the lighting gives me some great late night moody vibes. Much love ❤

I’m thinking of going around the same time, but was discouraged because of travel restrictions. I’m wondering what your take on it is? How far into your planning are you?

[@gablaristgablar9751]

@@bustosgomezlb well as it stands we cannot go to Japan due to travel restrictions so will have to rebook :( we live in hope tourists will be welcomed back by sept. Otherwise, we push out to 2023 and book else where!

[@miimo_channel]

The tourist as part of travel groups are now allowed in as a trial, so this is hopefully a success and the government will allow everyone. Also, if the vaccination is finished, then no covid tests or masking is required. I hope that you are able to visit the beautiful Japan. Welcome! 🇯🇵🇯🇵 Sorry for my English, I hope you understand.

[@momo2219]

I cheered every time I saw a place I visited from your itinerary. You inspired me to add Kanazawa to my future travel list. There's so much Japan to explore! Happy to see the egg salad sandwich made it in. 😂 Beautifully styled video as always and resourceful with old footage!

This was so beautiful and helpful. My mother and I want to take my kid sister to Japan for her 18th birthday in 2025. I honestly can't wait because ever since i was a child it's been a dream of mine to go to Japan. This video helped make it feel a lot more like a reality than a dream and I thank you for that. 🙇🏻‍♀️

I have traveled to Japan five times, so I can definitely say that Japan is a truly wonderful country to travel to. The only drawback is that once you visit Japan, you become addicted and want to visit again and again Lol

Allan, I'm planning a trip to Japan this summer and this was the first video I watched to help me figure out our 2-week itinerary. Fantastic content. Thank you for putting this together!

[@inefekt]

I have been to Japan many times but you still managed to put a few places on my list of new spots to visit on future trips. Some places I would recommend that are not on your video are Magome/Tsumago Nakasendo Trek (a 3 hour hike between these two towns on the famous trek), Nachi Falls (Japan's highest waterfall in Wakayama Prefecture), Yamadera (mountainous temple town), Onomichi (seaside town) and Hokkaido which is now accessible via Shinkansen, though probably easier to take a budget flight to Sapporo. If you're looking for day trips from Tokyo probably two of the more popular ones are Kamakura (Little Kyoto) & Nikko (mountainous temple/onsen town). Kamakura can be combined with Enoshima & Yokohama.

[@smalltalk3904]

Just happened to stumble upon this video in my recommendation and oh my god! I watched the entire thing and it was so mesmerizing (grandma thought so too lol) Really felt like I was on this trip with you. Thanks for this guide, Japan is definitely going on my bucket list!
