11:33 I found this frame shot and detail absolutely beautiful! Vintage camera peeking on the front looks so aesthetic

I was in Japan the first two weeks of November. The best things I got for myself there is a book in a Samurai museum in Kyoto. The book is called "The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons: a Field Guide to Japanese Yokai". In Tokyo I got a cool looking hat, a mixture between a light beanie and one of those hats with the ear cover flaps. Currently my most favorite hat. I'm quite but not extremely minimalist person, so I didn't bring back much more than photos, videos and memories. I'm so excited to return this Fall, but this time for 3-6 weeks. I went for 10 days. This was my first time ever traveling. I went alone, 5600 miles from home. The only time I was terrified were the 2 hours in my home airport and the two hour flight to LAX

[@ByteReview]

I've been a nervous flyer for a long time so I know the feeling. Well done for getting there!

[@edmn]

6:45 That SNES keyring would make a great AirTag holder!!

[@ByteReview]

omg yes, that's next weeks project!

[@MinimalisTech]

DUDE, jealous. Hoping I have a chance to go some point in the next couple years. Dope video.

[@ByteReview]

Hope you can go too, it's really incredible

[@nope8013]

What a wholesome video. I loved every bit of it. ❤

[@ByteReview]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@chiyungwong3774]

What an amazing video, what a great idea to document a wonderful trip!

[@ByteReview]

I was trying my best to not film and have a holiday but I couldn't help myself haha

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

Whoa what a haul (both the footage and tech)!

[@ByteReview]

Thanks Mark!

[@pacificYO]

my japan edc was always: - pocket wi-fi - external battery - osmo pocket - sony rx100 or leica t (depending on the day) - conbini onigiri and sandoichis to get me through the day (saves time ordering food if it's already in your bag)

[@ByteReview]

I was tempted by an pocket wifi, but we ended up buying an esim out there for data and it was perfect!

[@edmn]

1:01 You can get MagSafe cases where the circle ⭕️ pattern isn’t visible, I have a few. The pattern is on the inside with, presumably, a very thin layer where the circle is on the outside. Apple’s Silicon and (late) leather cases come to mind.

[@ByteReview]

That's true, I wonder if the see through nature of this one wouldn't let it work as well though?

[@U2Mii]

a chill day in the new year watching byte review is where it’s at! looked like you had a pretty cool time in japan. thanks for sharing!

[@ByteReview]

I did! Thanks for watching

[@MikeStevens]

I ordered the full set of controller keyrings off eBay and uh, they were damn expensive, haha. So worth it tho!

[@ByteReview]

oh niceeee! I think they were 500 yen each which is like £2.50 but we had no idea which one we were getting haha

[@yamacafe]

welcome to Japan!

[@100Stratusfiedx]

Great video. Going to Japan is definitely a dream and this gave me some ideas on places to go.

[@ebreevephoto]

Japan was such a thrill to visit and I loved seeing that you and I went to several of the same places. As for EDC I picked up my Leica M3 at Map Camera in Shinjyuku. I also had a large bag with me and picked up a shopping bag made of Parachute material so when I didn't use it I just rolled it up. I also found several wrist straps to replace my straps on my p&s and light meter. Loads of great shopping there.

[@ByteReview]

Oh wow, I'd LOVE to grab such a wonderful camera out there!

[@Somebody_Else_Now]

Love the video would love to go to Japan sometime ❤

[@gumerzambrano]

Great video man! Going on my 2nd Japan trip later this month! That GBL wallet looks so nice and perfect for Japan. Definitely picking it up

[@ByteReview]

Thanks! Oooh yeah defo go to that store, I linked it in the description

[@rohanajay]

Great Video Tom. Man I Love Japan!

[@ByteReview]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Okaka0525]

Your Suica tote bag seems unusual even to me as a Japanese. I also recommend a Suica T-shirt next time you come!

[@DPT2Go]

Totally agree about PD…I just can’t get on board with them bc of the weight. After so much trial and error, I actually found a Thule that I love for EDC while traveling. Great trip! Thanks for the ideas 💡 🙂🤙

[@ByteReview]

right?! oh sweet, I'd love to know what model you went for

[@techhubwiltsuk]

Looks like an amazing trip, buddy, and I really like the idea of the real film camera

[@ByteReview]

It's a nice way to remember the trip!

[@skateecho]

Love the pickups! Hoping to go this year with my wife and we are very excited, soo much to do! Would love to hear more of your experiences and what you would recommend if you have footage. def wanna hit some book off junk bins and bring a suitcase full of gameboys with me! maybe a switch 2 if its out! Also really want to do some quiet countryside villages while there.

[@ByteReview]

Oh nice, I hope you get to go! I might do a newsletter on places we loved!

[@papagruffalo9750]

Love that you got a film camera! Any tips on where to go to find vintage Cartiers in Tokyo?

[@kushimoto98]

I absolutely love those finds! I really need to look around better next time I'm in Japan to get some goodies as a souvenir

[@ByteReview]

oooh you have to, I had to buy another suitcase out there 😅

[@ao_ipad]

WOW✨ Welcome to Japan!! I hope you enjoyed your trip 😊 iPhone case is nice✨ Thanks for the great video !!

[@ByteReview]

thank you!

[@hotmintchoco]

Wow cas:pace case featuring!!!! I love their cases. Have bought so many of them from online. Nice phone case choice of the vending machine that totally matches your style 0:41

[@ByteReview]

Oooh I didn't know they sold them online too! I might have to grab another

[@Jordyce]

I have that white Wonder Swan from a friend... I want to say 18 years ago! I'd love to get a colour version and build up a proper collection, thanks for getting me inspired!

[@ByteReview]

Oh nice! I want a color one now haha

[@perdomot]

I always hit Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara every time I visit Japan. Amazing place where I bought phone cases, head and earphones and even my prescription glasses. Hope you got to visit there.

[@ByteReview]

Oh I did! Amazing store, some of them are so massive too

[@perdomot]

@ByteReview I think the one in Akihabara is the biggest one in the country. I'm going back this summer and can't wait to visit the place again 😀

[@npage1028]

Rocked a crossbody bag for the daily camera carry in Japan. My pickups included a new chefs knife, too many smiski, incense, and some ema from shrines.

[@ByteReview]

I was very tempted by a chef knife!

[@chezzierodriguez2512]

Can I ask how much you bought your Kuoe Watch for? Looking to pick one up when I travel there later this year!

[@Musikchic47]

Is that a Wonder Swan in the thumbnail? I bought an orange one when I was in Japan, such a unique video game handheld ❤😊

[@ByteReview]

Yup! Same one I talk about in the video too

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Great stuff

[@JOOceBoxes]

I think you'll love the Elecom Off Toco DGB-S043bk Camera Backpack. I am a proud owner. Once you see the black one (especially the color of the interior), I think you'll be intrigued

[@ByteReview]

oh my goooooooood it's so nice!

[@andyly1462]

I also got a film camera from BB, it was a Ricoh TF500! That store had me in there for an hour! So much to look at 😅

[@ByteReview]

Oh nice! And yeah it's such a mad store, we were in there for ages too! How was the camera, did you use it?

[@andyly1462]

The camera is so good! It’s got two focal lengths which is pretty handy. Definitely not as loud as yours, only grief with mine is that it’s very bulky!

[@Somebody_Else_Now]

I would love to go but how much did you spent for your trip ?

[@ByteReview]

It wasn't cheap put it that way 😅

[@Somebody_Else_Now]

@ like 2000 or 5000 or more?

[@mercurytoad]

Lol looks like a minimalist's nightmare there 😂. Nevertheless, love this vid. Tempted to grab an old school Casio now.

[@ByteReview]

haha, you should! Casios are amazing

[@bryans8656]

I've never been to Japan but like you I like to pick up mementoes when I travel, and I would have gone crazy with all the tech goodies there.

[@ByteReview]

Yeah, I had to buy another suitcase out there 🤣

[@terryliu9805]

Where is the shop at 8:23? Nice video.

[@ByteReview]

Shinkyogoku Shopping District in Kyoto!

[@bryanvtran]

One of the few creators I've seen openly dislike both the X100VI and the Peak Design Everyday Backpack. Subscribed just for those opinions, I feel like I'm going crazy whenever I see them get overrated.

[@ByteReview]

keeping it real over here ✌🏻

[@Sakurasan2023]

I didn't know there was one in Kyoto. I went to NYC and osaka

[@ByteReview]

Yep, there's one in Tokyo now too!

[@Sakurasan2023]

@ByteReview awesome 👌. When did they come out?

[@ByteReview]

@@Sakurasan2023 Not overly sure, all recent though, like 2019 onwards

[@Sakurasan2023]

@ByteReview i wish I went there. I went to the Osaka one only in Japan

[@kollep_gadget_audio]

i'm japanese, watch your videos every time you upload!! glad you enjoyed the trip to Japan!

[@ByteReview]

Thank you! I want to come again!

[@codywilkins7813]

As if I already didn’t want to go to Japan enough

[@ByteReview]

make it happen!

[@RaymondwLin]

Chu Ko Bo? lol It took me a second before I know what you said. I think it is more Choc as in Chocolate, then Kuh Bow. Guess you never played Final Fantasy.

[@ByteReview]

hahaha I have played some final fantasty but never got 'into' them

[@godzillaguy]

Fun video! Neat seeing all the little trinkets from Japan

[@ByteReview]

Thanks, it was fun buying them haha

[@krzysiek_borek]

You know, they could put magnets inside the case, not outside?

[@SingermanRyun]

I have authentic Lv only one and then I bought from kislux , wait the twins one that are authentic , sounds better.

[@mxmus08]

Japan is just insane when it comes to tech. Will go one day for sure.

[@ByteReview]

I hope you can go!

[@pretentiousname01]

anyone else get major persona 5 vibes from that montage at 0:24

[@ByteReview]

Love Persona V!

[@pretentiousname01]

I just used a proxy shopping service to purchase a Plotter from Japan while the Yen is very weak. It’s cheaper than purchasing from the US store. With the service fee I got the horse hair bible for $114. As long as the shipping to me is less than $50, I will have saved money.

[@ByteReview]

I need to check out the proxy shopping stuff!
